Serena sat in her room. Her eyes wide open. She had gotten a message from Gossip Girl. Who would know and would tell? she thought. She got up from her bed and went to the elevator. She arrived on Chuck's floor. I hope he's home, she thought. She knocked on his door. No one opened it. She knocked again. No one. She was about to knock for a third time, but the door knob was turning. The door opened and she saw Chuck. She gave him a small smile before stepping in. He closed the door. She sat on one of his couches. He kept standing there. She decided to break the silence.

"How's Blair?"

He sighed.

"How do you think she is! Some idiot told Penny about her personal problems."

Serena looked down. Chuck looked at the door. Finally she spoke.

"Where is she?"

"In the bathroom taking a shower."

Tears came out of Serena's eyes. Chuck noticed. He came to sit beside her.

"Don't worry, Van der Woodsen. It's just a shower."

She glared at him.

"It's not that, idiot. I could have been nicer to her. I treated her like crap ever since yesterday."

"You think I'm any better? I didn't even believe her explanation."

"Neither did I."

They both looked down again. Were they bonding? The bathroom door opened and out came Blair. She gasped when she saw Serena.

"Serena, what are you doing here?"

She was wearing a robe from the hotel. Serena looked at her.

"I wanted to talk."

Chuck took a deep breath before speaking.

"I'll be at the bar."

He kissed Blair on the cheek before leaving both of the former queens alone in his suite. Blair took a seat on a couch opposite to Serena.

"What is it?"

Serena took a relaxing breath.

"I'm sorry I didn't listen. I'm sorry I always hurt you without knowing it. And I am sorry for all I have done to you."

She looked at Blair with her big blue eyes. Blair just looked at her.

"S, you hurt me. When you didn't listen to me. I swear me and Nate where playing hide and seek. I understand why you were upset, I would be too. I should be the one apologizing."

"No, B. I should be apologizing. I should be more supportive."

"Are you kidding me. If one of us has to be more supportive, it's me."

They laughed. Clearly their little fight was over. Serena quieted down.

"I can't believe Hazel found out about, well you know."

"Yeah. Penny told her."

"I heard. I still don't know who told her though. We will find this person and I will-"

"It was Nate."

Silence swept over Serena's face. Nate? There was no way.

"Nate?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. He was drunk and called me from Penny's house. He was the only one who knew and talked to her. It couldn't have been anyone else."

Serena was still shocked.

"Does he know that he told?"

"No, I just yelled at him. I think Chuck's avoiding him too."

"It could just be an accident."

Blair looked at Serena. Tears brimming her eyes.

"There are no accidents. Things happen for a reason."

She put her head in her hands. She needed to cry and no one could tell her otherwise. Serena put her arm around her. She needed all the support she needed. After a couple moments, Blair finally looked up.

"S, could I just have some time for myself?"

Serena nodded.

"If you need anything, just let me know."

"Okay."

Serena got her stuff and walked out the door. She had an idea. She took the elevator to the penthouse. She barged open the front door.

"Eric! Eric!"

She searched for him. He came out from the kitchen.

"What?"

She smiled when she saw him. She grabbed his coat off a nearby coat hook.

"Come on, we're going."

"Where?"

"Just put your coat on!"

He did as he was told. He followed her out of the front door and into the elevator. They arrived on the first floor and called a cab. Serena practically dragged him along into the cab.

"18465 Park Avenue. And step on it!"

She yelled at the cab driver. He drove. Eric sat there in silence. What was Serena up to? She sat there, ready to get out any moment. They arrived. She gave him a twenty and pulled Eric out. They ran in the building and took the elevator to the twenty-fifth floor. They got out and Serena knocked on the maple wood door. It opened.

"Hello, Serena and Eric. What brings you here?"

"We are here to see Nate, Mrs. Archibald. Is he home by any chance?"

"Yes, he is in his bedroom. Should I got get him?"

"No, we can just go see him."

Serena led Eric upstairs to Nate's room. Serena didn't even bother knocking. She flew open the door and saw Nate sleeping. Eric stood a few feet behind her. He still didn't know why he was here. Serena approached Nate.

"Get up you jerk!"

He moved his head and jumped a little when he saw Serena standing in front of him. He smiled but she still glared at him.

"Hey. What brings you here?"

Serena grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him up. He was surprised that she was able to do that. She pushed him against the wall. Her eyes were angry.

"What gives Serena?"

"How could you!"

"How could I what?"

"Telling Penny about Blair's dad! Everything thinks she's lying! Are you happy!"

She punched him. She didn't care, he deserved it.

"I didn't say anything!"

"Maybe you were too hammered to remember! God Nate, what's the matter with you!"

She pulled back a little. He grabbed his arm where she had punched him. Crap, I probably did tell Penny. What the hell did I do! he thought. Eric came out from behind Serena and stood in front of Nate. He glared at him as well. Blair didn't deserve this. He took his right hand and made a fist. He was so angry that he didn't know how much force there was until it hit Nate's jaw. Nate toppled over leaving Eric stunned. Was he that angry? Serena stood in shock. Who would have thought Eric Van der Woodsen could do that. Nate looked up at him.

"What the hell Eric!"

"You deserved it!"

"No I didn't."

Eric glared at him.

"Keep telling yourself that, but it's still the truth."

Serena smiled at her brother. They turned around leaving Nate in pain. They said good-bye to Mrs. Archibald. Once they got outside, they laughed.

"Did you see Nate's face when he realized you punched him?"

"Yeah, he was so shocked."

They called a cab. Serena had suggested they go to the loft. Eric had agreed quickly, seeing as though he needed ice for his hand. They arrived and walked to the loft's door. Serena knocked. Jenny answered the door. Serena put on a fake smile.

"Hey, Jenny. Is Dan around?"

"Yeah, he's in his room."

"Thanks."

Serena marched to Dan's room. Jenny smiled at Eric. He politely smiled back. She looked at his hand.

"What happened?"

"Nothing. Do you have any ice?"

Jenny nodded and took an ice-pack from the freezer. They walked to the living room. Jenny kept smiling. Eric became more and more uncomfortable. Jenny broke the silence.

"Are you going to the after prom?"

"Yeah."

"With Blair?"

"Yeah."

"It's going to be so much fun. Don't you think?"

"I guess."

"You have to save one dance for me."

"Um…. Sure, I guess."

"I'm going with Nate."

"That's good for you, I guess."

"He said he was going to pay for my nails."

Eric looked at her confused.

"You're getting new nails?"

She laughed. Is he on crack? she thought.

"No, a manicure."

"Oh."

"Is Blair getting one?"

"How should I know?"

"Just asking. So did you hear what Gossip Girl reported?"

She was determined to find any dirt on Blair.

"No."

He knew what she was talking about, but he didn't want to add any fuel to the already out of control fire.

"It said that her dad died. Isn't that pathetic?"

She started laughing. Eric looked at her in disgust.

"I don't think death is something to be laughing about."

She stopped but you could clearly see she was laughing inside. He got up.

"Here's your ice-pack. Thanks. I'm going to go"

He passed her the ice-pack. He knocked on Dan's door. Serena opened it.

"I'm going home, okay?"

"Why, we just got here."

"I just remembered I have an essay due tomorrow."

"Okay."

He turned and went to the door. He couldn't stand Jenny anymore. He called a cab once he got outside. He decided to go to Central Park. As he walked through the park, he see's a familiar figure,

"Blair?"

The girl turns around, but it isn't Blair.

"Sorry, I thought you were someone else."

He continues to walk. Meanwhile, Chuck opened the door to his suite. He saw Blair sitting on the couch. She seemed to be staring at nothing. He came by and sat beside her. She noticed him and smiled.

"Hey."

"You, okay?"

"Better now. I just can't believe it."

"Can't believe what?"

"That people think it's a lie. Why would anyone lie about that?"

He embraced her.

"It doesn't matter what they think. It will never matter."

He squeezed her a little closer to him. She smiled.

"Bass, you truly have a way with words."

"What can I say. You say a lot of interesting things when making love."

She nudged him. Leave it to Chuck to take a precious moment and make it perverted.

"You want to watch a movie?"

"Sure."

"Breakfast at Tiffany's?"

"Yes please, but can we have some ice-cream first?"

She didn't care about her weight. If she wanted ice-cream, she was going to get it.

"Sure, what ever you like."

While he called room service to send up the ice-cream, Hazel, Penny and Carter sat in Hazel's bedroom. Hazel was speaking.

"You are sure that's what he said, right?"

Penny sighed.

"For the hundredth time, he said that. He clearly said 'I hope Blair's doing alright since her dad died. It sucks.' I am pretty sure that meant her father dad died."

Hazel sighed.

"It is such a lie. He probably just made that up in his head."

Penny just shrugged. Carter looked at both of them.

"What if it is true?"

Hazel's eyes became filled with anger.

"It's not true! It's a lie so we can feel sorry for her. Well that will never happen!"

She looked back and forth from Penny to Carter. Finally carter spoke up.

"I heard they hate Nate now. Look's like he dethroned himself."

Hazel smiled.

"Maybe he can help us."

Penny smiled.

"I believe he can."

Carter joined them in their smiling brigade.

"So I'm taking Chuck down. Hazel's taking Blair down. Jenny's taking Eric down. Penny who's yours?"

Penny sat quiet for a bit.

"Serena."

Hazel smiled.

"Great. Now we can truly rule the Upper East Side."

She picked up her glass. The other's did the same.

"To the Upper East Side Crew!"

They repeated.

"The Upper East Side Crew!"

Their glasses hit each other. Everyone took a sip from theirs. Hazel smiled. After all tomorrow was another day closer to her crowning as the new Upper East Side queen. Or was it?
