Blair, Chuck, Nate, Serena, Dan and Eric walked to the front of the ballroom. Nothing but confidence on their faces. People that were sitting down we smiling. They knew something big was going to happen. Tonight was the night that everything went back to the way it was supposed to be, right? They marched to the front of ballroom. Hazel and company stood there with smirks on their faces. Did Blair really think she had a chance? The crew stood stiff. The Upper East Side royalty stood right in front of them. Blair stepped out and stood in front of Hazel. She sent a look so cold that Hazel started to shiver. Blair spoke.

"Just because you think you won the battle, doesn't mean you won the war!"

Hazel looked down at Blair and scoffed. She wasn't afraid of Blair. Or maybe she was but she was trying to hide her fear; never show your fear. Blair kept glaring at her. She stepped back and stood with her friends. Hazel simply stood there. No one knew what was going to happen. Finally after a long time of silence, Chuck and Nate stepped out. Chuck picked up the microphone which had been used earlier to try and ruin his and his friends lives. To bad it didn't work. He and Nate walked to center stage and addressed the audience. He smirked before speaking.

"Why I hope you all enjoyed that little show that these wannabes put on for you."

There was laughter from the audience. The crew tried to regain strength. Chuck passed the microphone to Nate.

"So you all know what Carter had to say about us. Glad to know that he took the time to actually think of saying stuff about us. Thanks Carter."

People in the audience laughed again. Chuck and Nate laughed and looked at Carter. He just glared at them. Nate turned back to the audience.

"We all know that he left because he got disowned by his parents. He has told us all great stories about him traveling around the world. But how on earth did he pay for it?"

Nate gave the microphone back to Chuck.

"Everyone knows you need money to travel. But if he got disowned by his parents, where did he get the money? Let me be the first to tell you, he paid me and Nate to keep our mouths shut. A couple months ago, he came into Victrola looking for a job. Now all you who don't know, I own Victrola. Too bad no one told Carter. So he came in asking for a job as a stripper. He didn't know he had to meet me first to even apply. He walked into my office, and as quick as he came he left. He called me a couple days after, asking that I not tell anyone. And I haven't, until now."

He turned to give Carter a You are so busted look. Carter kept on glaring. Chuck turned back to the audience.

"A couple weeks after that, one of my colleagues went to check out a strip club in Queens. He said he saw a guy working his stuff for some of the female and some male customers. He described him and I knew it was Chuck. A couple days after that, I asked another employee to go to that same club and snap some pictures. And turns out it was him. So that is how he paid for everything, he was a stripper and he seemed to enjoy it."

Everyone laughed at Carter, including the crew. He looked at Chuck. He was pretty close to killing him. Chuck passed the microphone to Nate. Nate tried not to laugh.

"Well that seems to make a lot of sense. Too bad mommy and daddy won't be seeing those pictures anytime soon."

Nate passed the microphone to Chuck.

"Actually I think everyone should be able to see them. I sent them to Gossip Girl a few minutes ago. They should be on the site right about now."

Everyone took out their phones and gasped. There were pictures of Carter working his stuff. Everyone laughed a little harder than last time. Blair looked at the picture on her phone. Had this been the same guy that Nate had wanted to be? She turned to look behind her. Eric, Dan and Serena were laughing so hard. She joined them. Chuck looked at Carter and laughed. Carter's hands were bunched up into fists. He started to walk toward Chuck. Nate noticed and got in the way. Carter looked at him.

"Get out of the way!"

"No. Don't you need to go back to the strip club? Some lonely ladies must be missing you."

Nate laughed. Carter brought his fist up, but someone else grabbed his arm. He looked and saw Chuck smirking.

"You honestly wouldn't think of hitting Nathaniel, would you?"

Carter put his fist down and walked toward Chuck. Rage was all over his face. Chuck stood there, calm. Carter brought his arm up to Chuck's face, but again was stopped. He peered at the petite brunette who had grabbed his arm. He stared at her with confusion. Only rage filled her eyes. He put his arm down and turned to face her.

"What are you doing?"

She glared at him.

"You're not going to hit him."

He laughed.

"Yeah and you're going to stop me, right?"

She kept glaring at him.

"I can. He didn't do anything to get hit. You're just upset that he told the truth about you."

He looked at her. He wanted to hit her so bad, but he couldn't. Instead he looked at Chuck, who was standing behind her. He glared at him. Carter returned it with an equally frightening glare. He turned back to look at Blair. He glare hadn't disappeared either. He turned away and started walking toward the majestic doors. People laughed as he was walking. He tried not to look at them. A voice stopped him.

"Carter?"

He turned around to see Nate with his hand in his pocket. Carter glared at him.

"What?"

Nate pulled out a pair of handcuffs. He tossed them at Carter. He caught them and then looked up in confusion at Nate. Nate smirked before speaking.

"You might need them for your job."

Everyone started laughing, including Nate. He turned to walk away, leaving Carter distraught. Didn't this guy want to be like me a couple years ago? What the hell! he thought. He turned around to walk to the majestic doors. Before he walked out of them, he turned around and yelled on the top of his lungs.

"I will get you back!"

With that he walked out of the door. There were a few snickers. Blair walked over to Chuck and Nate. She smiled at two of them before pulling them into a hug.

"Thank you guys!"

She gave them each a kiss on the cheek. She turned around to see Serena smiling. She walked up and grabbed the microphone that had been left on a table. She stepped out. She peered over at Dan. He gave her a reassuring smile. She smiled back. She looked out at the audience.

"Glad to see one wannabe gone. Since Penny seems to know a whole lot about me, why don't I tell you something about her. In the third grade she was in love with Ricky Martin, as we all remember. Everyone thought she moved on from that but recently while I stopped by at Saks, I saw her come out of HMV. They had given her a clear bag and I saw Ricky Martin's greatest hits in there. Looks like someone get let a certain Ricky Martin."

Everyone let out a roar of laughter. Serena sent Penny a fake smile. She didn't normally do that, but Penny deserved it. Penny glared at her. Jenny and Hazel were trying not to laugh, but couldn't help it. Blair, Eric, Dan, Chuck and Nate were laughing really hard. Serena even giggled a little before turning back to face the audience.

"Well Penny seems you're not the only one know a lot of secrets."

She started to pass the microphone to Eric, when Penny came marching up to her. She pushed Serena. Serena was caught off guard, but thankfully didn't fall. Penny got angry and pushed her again. Just fall! she thought. Serena started falling. She needed to grab something. She accidentally grabbed the ends of Penny's hair. No one expected what happened next. Serena fell, expecting Penny to be on the ground too. She looked at her hand. There was Penny's hair but where was Penny? She looked up and saw Penny shrieking. Serena looked back at the handful of hair in her hand. She looked closely and realized it was extensions. She started laughing and so did everyone else. Penny grabbed her extensions out of Serena's hands and left the ballroom. Dan helped Serena up.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. Did you see her extensions?"

He chuckled.

"Yeah. Who would have thought."

They shared a laugh. Blair walked over to Serena.

"That was so funny. Did you see her face!"

"Yes."

Blair gave her a smile.

"Thanks, S."

She pulled her into a hug.

"I really mean it. Thanks."

Serena smiled.

"No problem."

They broke out of the embrace and turned to look at Eric. He had a smirk on his face. This was his chance. He could either make or break the girl who had told everyone his secret. He brought the microphone up to his mouth and spoke.

"One thing that I learned at the Ostroff center was make sure you only bring good people into your life."

He smiled at Blair, Dan, Serena, Chuck and Nate. He turned back to the audience.

"But we all make mistakes."

He looked at Jenny. She looked at him apologetic, but he didn't buy it. He turned to the audience.

"I trusted Jenny with a big secret and she betrays me. I thought she would be nicer but she just turned out to be a bitch. I honestly don't see why I wanted to be friends with her in the first place and I don't see why all you would want to either. Who wants to be friends with a self-centered little bitch? Not me."

He put the microphone on the table. Jenny stood in shock. Had he just said that about her? She walked up to him.

"What the hell Eric!"

"It was the truth."

"No it wasn't!"

He started moving forward. He glared at her. She walked backwards slowly, enough distance would be good. He was about to speak when he started falling forward. She didn't know what was going on. She felt herself going backwards. Suddenly, a whole bunch of food was on her. She turned around and realized she had been pushed into the table holding appetizers. She shrieked.

"I hate you, Eric!"

He just lay on the ground laughing. He and his sister where having good luck getting back at people. Everyone else was laughing too. Jenny looked around for help. She saw Dan and walked up to him.

"Let's go!"

He followed her out the majestic doors. He stood still when they got in the lobby. She realized he wasn't behind her anymore. She turned around with a confused expression.

"Well, let's go."

He looked at her with stern eyes.

"You're going, not me."

"What?"

"Well you are the one who everyone about Eric. I think you should be the one going home."

Her jaw dropped. He was her big brother, why wasn't he defending her?

"You are supposed to take me home."

"No. You're old enough to go home by yourself."

"No! You are supposed to take me home! What will dad say!"

He still looked at her with stern eyes. She reminded him of a four-year old who didn't get what they wanted.

"You can tell dad what you and your friends did."

She glared at him.

"We had to."

"No you didn't."

"Blair deserved it."

"No and no one else deserved it."

"Well look what they did to me!"

She stood there in her dress covered with caviar.

"I think you deserved that."

She shrieked. The man at the front desk looked to see if anything bad had happened. Dan continued to look at his sister with stern eyes.

"I can't believe you."

"Well you better."

He started to lead her outside. He called her cab and opened the door. She looked at him.

"You're not coming."

"No, I have some friends to get back to. They don't do things unless they need to."

She climbed into the cab and he closed the door. He paid the cab driver. After he saw the cab leave, he went back into the ballroom. He stood beside Serena. She looked at him.

"You okay?"

"Yeah."

She smiled and gave him a kiss. Blair stood a couple feet away from them with Chuck at her side. She wasn't sure if she should do what she was about to do. Chuck held her hand. She looked into his dark brown eyes. He spoke so calmly.

"Look, no matter what happens between you and Hazel, it won't effect us."

She gave him a small smile. He lightly touched her lips with his. She pulled back and went to get the microphone from the table. She had everything she needed and Hazel was just a speck she needed to get rid of. She turned toward the audience.

"Hazel, looks like it's your turn."

She sent Hazel a glare. Blair turned toward the audience.

"Looks like your crew is gone. Carter's gone to make some money. Penny went to put her hair back listen to some Ricky Martin songs and Jenny got yelled at and covered with appetizers."

Hazel stood scared. Then she remembered what she had. She slung her purse off her shoulders. She looked inside. Where is it? she thought. She finally found it. The ring seemed brighter. She placed it on her left hand. She looked at Blair. Thank god she hadn't seen her. Blair continued to speak.

"Let's take a look at Hazel's past. She says she's a virgin but we have some witnesses here who could question that statement. Gentlemen put up your hand if you have slept with Hazel James."

Immediately around a hundred or so hands went up. Hazel froze. Had Blair actually won? Everyone laughed as more and more hands started to go up. Blair spoke again.

"Wow, Hazel. Looks like you were lying. But how about I share another secret about Hazel James. She is always telling us how many trips she goes on a year but that's a lie. She just drives over to the Hilton hotel and books a room. She can only afford to stay one night."

Everyone laughed at Hazel. She had enough. She walked over to Blair. Blair smirked at her. Hazel put on her best fake smile.

"I forgot to tell you."

She showed Blair her left hand. Blair's face went into shock. Hazel stood there proudly. Blair glared at her.

"Resort to stealing now?"

Hazel frowned.

"No, Chuck gave this to me."

Blair smirked.

"Sure."

Blair stepped forward. She didn't notice that she stepped on the end of Hazel's dress. Hazel glared at her.

"You and Chuck broke up. Why does it matter that I have the ring?"

Blair tried to hold her laughter. Hazel still didn't know that it was all lie. She decided to use it for as long as she could.

"Yeah. You have Chuck now."

Hazel smiled.

"Well I'll let you have your little victory now."

Blair gave her a fake smile.

"Okay."

Hazel turned. All she heard was a loud rip. Everyone laughed. She looked down at her dress. The bottom of her dress was on the ground. She looked at Blair. She was in complete shock.

"What the hell you bitch!"

Blair looked at her.

"I'm sorry. I didn't realize-"

"Yes you did! My dress is ruined."

She walked up to Blair. She wanted to kill her but she had to settle for the next best thing. She slapped Blair so hard. Blair's face went red. Everyone gasped. Blair just smirked.

"You really are low class."

She turned and walked away. Chuck came up to Hazel.

"How about we go outside?"

She smiled.

"Okay."

He led her to the lobby. She kept freakishly smiling at him.

"How about we go to your suite?"

He scoffed.

"No. You are actually going to the police station."

He called over two cops which he had already had Nate call. They came over to them. Hazel looked at him with confusion.

"What!"

"You are being charged with one count of assault on Ms. Waldorf and one count of burglary."

He looked at the ring.

"I believe that's mine."

She sighed and took it off. She handed it to Chuck.

"Okay boys. Take her away."

He left and she was put in handcuffs. He walked back into the ball room. He didn't care what others were doing all he wanted was to see her face. There she was smiling at him. A genuine smile, just for him. He couldn't help but smile back. He felt like running. He started running toward her. He was actually running for a girl, who would have thought. He stopped in front of her. She put her arms around his neck and he put his around her waist. He pulled her closer and kissed her passionately. All around people were going awe. They pulled back and looked into each other's eyes. Finally, Blair turned and took one of his hands and led him back to their table. Eric, Dan, Serena and Nate where already sitting there. Nate looked a little tipsy. He tried to get up but Dan and Eric sat him back down. Serena giggled. She saw Blair and Chuck.

"B!"

Blair ran up to her best friend. Chuck walked behind her. Serena pulled Blair down to sit with her. Chuck sat on her other side. Blair couldn't stop smiling. Nate started talking.

"You guys are so tough. You guys are like a wrecking ball."

Everyone laughed. He just sat there confused. He took another drink. Blair turned to Chuck.

"Can we go to your suite?"

He nodded. She smiled. He helped her up. He led her out the ballroom and into the elevator. He didn't let go of her hand once. Once they got on his floor, he quickly opened his door. She rushed in and hopped on the bed. He shut the door behind him and walked to his bed. She sat there smiling.

"Come and join me!"

He did as she asked. He sat down beside her. She put her arms around his neck. He brought her onto his lap. She couldn't stop looking into his eyes. He put his arms around her waist.

"I'm really glad you suggested coming up to my room."

She smiled.

"Well it's the least I could do. You did help me."

"I just got rid of Carter, with Nate's help. I hardly call it helping."

She blushed.

"You also gave me strength."

He smiled. There was a strange feeling in his stomach. What was that fluttering? He didn't care. He liked it being there. He pulled her into a kiss. She put her hands in his hair. He slipped some tongue into her mouth. He started to lean her back on to the bed. Her head hit the pillow gently. She went for the buttons of his shirt. She was about to take it off, when her phone rang. Chuck looked at her. She smiled.

"Just let me pick it up."

He groaned. She grabbed her purse from the floor. She pulled out her phone.

"Hello?"

"Blair! Can we come up to Chuck's suite?"

It was Eric.

"Why?"

"Me and Serena lost the key to the penthouse and my mom and Bart aren't there. The front desk guy is gone on his break. Besides Nate is loaded. Serena and Dan just want to lie down and I'm a bit tired."

Blair looked at Chuck. He sat there in confusion. She spoke back into the phone.

"One minute. Let me ask him."

She put the phone against her shoulder so Eric couldn't hear. Chuck sat there in more confusion.

"What?"

She smiled her best smile.

"Can Nate, Dan, Serena and Eric come up here?"

"Why?"

"Long story."

"Can they go to the penthouse?"

"Nope. Can they come here? It's the first day of summer for gosh sake."

He looked in to her eyes. He didn't want to make her upset. He sighed.

"Fine. They can come over."

She smiled.

"Thank you."

She went over to him and kissed him. She took her phone off her shoulder.

"Eric?"

"Yeah."

"You guys can come."

"Okay. Thanks."

"No problem."

She hung up and turned back to Chuck. He was buttoning his shirt back up. She walked over to him.

"I promise I'll make up for it later."

He looked at her and smiled.

"You better."

She giggled.

"Yes and it will be amazing."

He gave her a hug. There was a knock at the door. Blair went to answer it. He heard Nate's drunken voice.

"What's up party people!"

Great. Just great, he thought.

Hello Upper EastSiders,

Looks like the true Upper East Side royalty prevailed tonight. So much happened to the crew. Carter a stripper? Well we all saw the pictures. Great to know he's making some cash. And what was with that whole 'I will get you back bit'? Does J still want to go for him? Well she'll need someone. E called her a waste and he pushed her into the food. Classic E. Looks like B taught him a few things. And S great way of dealing with P. We all thought that hair was fake but who knew S would test that theory. We wonder what else about P is fake? Oh and wannabe queen H, B handled you nicely. Nice dress. We all saw the arrest, quite funny. And what was that she was giving back to C? Only time will tell. Later C and B were seen going to his suite, but twenty minutes later E, S, D and N were also seen going up. Something we should know? But the real question on everyone's mind is, what will the Upper East Side royalty do now?
