"Well, now that our shock is over, we have a party to attend. The welcoming is going to happen in thirty minutes. Let's walk." Reed said, calmly.
Everyone acted as if nothing had happened. They all began drinking champagne from the bottle and talking. Noelle passed her bottle to Lee, who drank half the bottle, then passed it to Ariana.
"No thanks. I'm waiting until the Legacy." Ariana said.
"I'll take it." Thomas said, stealing the bottle. He finished it, and then threw onto the ground, sending glass all over the street.
Jenny was awed as she accepted Georgina's bottle. There was a group of small children harried by their frowning mothers. There was a group of fraternity boys as vampires, groups of Edwards and Bella, and a limo with shirtless boys shouting just sped through.
"Love New York on Halloween. It is when all the crazies come out." Noelle announced, already buzzed.
"Hey Lee, what do you do to make a girl blush?" Thomas asked lewdly.
Lee catcalled to a timid looking girl in front of them.
The girl turned around, her face red with fury.
"Thomas, how could you?" Lee asked, faking a shock.
The girl stormed up to Thomas, and slapped him on the face.
"Now that's why I don't catcall. I'd get a catfight." Lee replied as everyone was howling.
Jenny was about to ask why they did not ride a limo, but when she realized all the stares she was getting, she understood why. This was their walk of fame. Every stare was a compliment. Every catcall, jeer, and checking out was a compliment. This, she thought, is what it truly feels to be privileged.
"We are here!" Reed sang.
A doorman suddenly appeared. "May I help you?" he asked, in a nasal voice.
Reed went to the front. He looked at her cleavage, and twisted into a smile. "Welcome." He said.
The boys flashed their sleeves. Jenny was afraid, that for a moment, she would be rejected. Because it was a fake.
The doorman looked for a moment. He let her in.
Jenny looked at the scene. People in costumes were running all over the place, drinking and talking.
"Hey, Reed?" Jenny asked. "Dan keeps on calling me but I can't answer, because of what you said. Is it okay if I tell him where I am at? I can tell him I'm someone's plus-one." Jenny offered.
"Sure. We don't want Dan to be a party pooper, do we?" Reed said.
Jenny nodded. She called Dan.
"Jenny, where the hell are you?" Dan barked.
Dan saw Chuck raising an eyebrow. Dan glared.
"I am at the Legacy. I can too be a plus-one!" Jenny replied.
"What! You are at the Legacy?" Dan said. Chuck raised an eyebrow and Dan shouted, "Do that one more time and I'll kick your ass!"
Jenny giggled. She was now standing right in front of him.
Just then, Lee was walking when she was right in front of Dan and Jenny. She 'ignored' them, and she did a rash thing. She suggestively winked and waved to Chuck quickly and left.
"Who would want to be with you?" Dan asked.
Jenny started laughing. "You…don't…get…the…whole…story." Was all anyone extracted.
"Did you see what I did?" Lee asked to Ariana and Thomas.
"You shouldn't do that." Ariana said.
"Ariana's right, but it was great! Be careful, you will get into a mess. He'll probably want some." Thomas said.
All the sudden, a bell echoed throughout the air. Blair stepped out. "Welcome one and welcome all!" she shouted.
"It is my honor to host the Legacy this year and welcome you to the inner sanctum." Blair continued.
Jenny was awed.
"Remember, what you see here…what you do here…who you touch here…who you screw here." Blair said, now eyeing the laughing crowd.
"All will remain here. For this is the Legacy, my friends. You are the chosen. So make peace with whoever you worship…and never…look…back!" Blair shouted, as everyone went inside the school.
The lights were purple, pink, and red, with smoke. Waiters came around, giving drinks. The particular people went to the bar and ordered their drinks.
Reed walked up and asked, "Blair Waldorf? Is that you?"
"Yes, it is me." Blair replied.
Reed took off her mask. Blair gaped while Reed said, "Blair Waldorf, thank you so much for inviting ALL of Billings. I'm sure we'll have the best time."
Noelle and Lee still had their masks on and laughed. Then all three left.
Chuck was casually walking to the school. He saw Blair and asked, "Hey Blair, have you seen a girl in a really dark blue dress?"
"Her? The Easton Girl who hangs around with Reed Brennan? You just missed her. Why?" Blair replied.
"She was hitting on me." Chuck sheepishly replied.
"She's inside. Good luck finding her!" Blair shouted as Chuck stepped inside.
On the dance floor, Lee was dancing with Noelle when Dash arrived. Lee stepped back and found Naomi talking to a blond girl.
"Hey, Naomi! What's up?" she asked.
"Oh, hey Lee! This person over here." Naomi said, pointing to the blond girl, "Is Adrianna with a blond wig."
"Oh my God! It's Adrianna! I did not recognize you at all!" Lee replied.
"Nobody has. Well, I got a martini for you. It's dirty, too, like the way you want it." Adrianna replied.
"Are you sure that's all right? You know, about it." Lee replied, referring to Adrianna being in rehab.
"Yeah, it's fine. I drink once in a while, I just don't do drugs." Adrianna explained.
"Well, now that Adrianna has a Pink Lady, and I have an appletini, and you have a dirty martini, let's have a toast." Naomi announced.
"No matter how long the distance." Naomi said.
"Or who we hang with." Adrianna said.
"We'll always be friends forever." Lee replied.
"Hear, hear!" Naomi and Adrianna shouted, as they all downed their drinks.
On the other side of the dance floor, Blair was talking to Chuck.
"Get it through your thick head, Chuck. You need to make this person jealous!' Blair said, exasperated. She did not want to spend the night with Chuck hovering around her.
"Right. What about that girl?" Chuck asked, pointing to a girl with brown hair, tan skin, and blond highlights.
"Yes, she's perfect!" Blair shouted.
Chuck walked up to her.
"So, it's a nice party, isn't it?" he asked.
"Totally! I'm new, and where I come from, we don't have parties like these." She replied.
"Oh. I'm Chuck Bass, by the way, but call me Chuck." Chuck replied.
"I'm Annie Wilson." Annie said.
"Do you want to talk somewhere else where it's quieter?" Chuck asked.
"Sure! I hate to shout." Annie replied.
He led Annie towards the roof.
Just when Annie had gone, Silver was at the same spot that Annie was.
"Annie promised she'd be here!" Silver whined.
"It's all right. We can wait here. So, Silver, how's West Beverly High like?" Lee asked.
Silver heard somebody shouting to stop. She wrinkled her forehead. It sounded like Annie.
"Did you hear that?" Silver asked.
"I heard that." Lee replied. She too was confused.
"I'm going to go see what's up. I think its Annie." Silver said.
"Want me to come with you?" Lee asked.
"I should do it by myself. But you better stay here!" Silver shouted.
Silver walked up the stairs leading to the roof. She was just expecting somebody else when she gaped.
"Let go of me!" Annie shouted.
"What the-"Chuck said, looking at Silver.
Silver ran up to Annie. "Don't you ever touch my friend again!" she snarled.
"Frigid bitch." Chuck muttered.
"Come on Annie." Silver said. Silver led Annie towards the stairs.
"Annie, this is Lee. Lee, this is Annie." Silver said.
Annie smiled weakly.
"What's wrong?" Lee asked.
"Someone tried to sleep with her." Silver said bluntly, as Annie started crying.
"Who was it?" Lee asked. She looked angry.
"It was a guy named Chuck Bass." Annie sobbed.
