5 months later:
Chuck tossed and turned in his bed. He heard a soft shuffling. He opened his eyes but nothing was there so he closed them again. Then the soft shuffling came back. Chuck got up grabbed his baseball bat from beside his bed and walked over to his wardrobe. The rustling stopped then got louder so Chuck opened the door and then screamed. There in his wardrobe was another Chuck Bass but only with a suit on instead of red silk pyjamas. The suited Chuck smirked "took you long enough". The real Chuck was baffled by this thing that looked like him so he opened his mouth to speak but was cut off when his look-alike cut in "wait don't say anything. I already know what your gonna say. Who are you? What do you want? Well I'll tell you. I'm your ghost" the suited Chuck replied "What the fu..." he was cut off again by the ghost "and tonight you're going to be visited by three ghosts. The 1st at 1am, then the 2nd an hour later and the third well she'll come whenever the hells she feels like" the ghost said "and am I meant to believe you? Seriously man Halloween was kinda 2 months ago I really hate to break it to you" Chuck joked "this isn't a laughing matter Charles!!! You will be visited by three ghosts tonight I can promise you that" the ghost promised "why? Why do I need to be visited by these three ghosts?" Chuck asked "you'll see" the ghost said and then disappeared. Chuck was baffled he'd never seen a ghost before. "Jeez that was some strong scotch" Chuck said calmly to himself and went to get another scotch to calm his nerves.
Chuck stirred in his bed again and opened his eyes. The room had become incredibly cold and Chuck was just about to get up and turn the heating up when suddenly something appeared at the end of his bed. "What the..." Chuck started but never finished because he was too gobsmacked as to who was standing at his bed. There he stood with a pinstripe suit, white blouse and a dark blue tie. His balding hair was in its same comb over and Chuck nearly had a heart attack when he saw him. "D...D...Dad?" Chuck asked weakly "yes son it's me. Your father" Bart announced "Ok, Ok just let me get this straight. Are you my 1st ghost?" Chuck asked "well no one else has turned up have they?" Bart asked "so what are you meant to be doing to me. Giving me a lesson in how to run the business. I'm actually doing ok on my own but thank you for the thought" Chuck joked "this is no laughing matter Charles!!!" Bart thundered as he walked around and sat on the end of the bed "so I keep hearing" Chuck muttered. "Now it is for your happiness that I am here" Bart said softly "happiness?" Chuck asked confused "I'm happy. What's not to be happy about?" Chuck continued "oh I don't know son. Maybe the fact that your one and only love is getting married to your best friend?" Bart asked sarcastically "I don't care about her anymore Dad. She's old news. I've moved on and so's she" Chuck lied "oh really is that why you told her you loved her when she told you she was engaged?" Bart asked "so ok maybe I'm not totally over her but I don't get why that has anything to do with you being here" Chuck said sceptically. "Oh that has everything to do with me being here son come on" Bart said as he took hold of Chuck by the ear and dragged him into the closet.
"AHHH!!!" Chuck shouted a he fell head first into a heap of snow. "Come on get up!!!" Bart said sternly as he landed feet first into the snow and pulled his son onto his feet.
"Where are we?" Chuck asked as he and Bart began walking through the streets "New York 16 years ago" Bart exclaimed "why?" Chuck asked "God don't you ask a lot of questions?" Bart exclaimed "well I have been visited by 2 ghosts in under 2 hours and my wardrobe has practically turned into Narnia" Chuck replied "fair enough. And were here because this was your 1st Christmas with Blair" Bart announced "oh God this isn't gonna be all about her is it?" Chuck asked. "Yes" Bart replied as they came to the school gates of Chuck's old kindergarten school. Bart walked straight through them and was puzzled when Chuck didn't "you can walk through walls and gates. It's ok you're not gonna hurt yourself" Bart said encouragingly to Chuck. So Chuck walked through the big iron gates. "Wow that was cool" Chuck announced when he was on the other side of the gates. Bart sighed and walked into the school and Chuck followed him.
When they entered Chuck's old kindergarten classroom a small brunette dressed in a red silk dress with patterned white tights, red flats and a red bow headband to match ran past Chuck and Bart. Chuck immediately recognised who it was. Blair. Even as a small child she still looked amazing. Chuck's face immediately lit up. "Cutie pie isn't she?" Bart asked "you bet. Her smile could light up the whole of New York" Chuck smiled at the little girl who now held a pit stick in her hand gluing some glitter to a light purple card. She was humming the Sesame street theme tune to herself. "Hey she's making my Christmas card" Chuck pointed out. "She's putting a lot of care into it isn't she?" Bart asked "yeah well she loves Christmas" Chuck smiled. Suddenly a little boy dressed in a purple sweater and jeans ran past Chuck and Bart and straight over to Blair with a pink card in his hand and a smile on his face. "Blair, Blair" the little boy called sweetly "yes?" the little brunette girl replied taking her eyes away from the card she was currently constructing to face the little boy "I made this for you happy Christmas" he beamed as he handed the card over. Blair looked at it and smiled. "Wow Chuck its beautiful" Blair smiled "thank you" she continued as she placed the card down on the side and hugged him. "I got you this too" little Chuck said as he handed her a small pink wrapped box tied with a bow and a pink peony on the top "oh Chuck wow thank you so much" Blair said as she took the gift and pulled the peony out of the bow. "I love these there my favourite." Blair beamed as she hugged Chuck again. "Ahh young love" Bart swooned "yeah I know I was a real mini romantic wasn't I?" Chuck asked "yep" Bart agreed. Chuck was still smiling at the children when Bart spoke again "so what happened?" Bart asked "you know what happened. Nate asked Blair if she wanted to be his girlfriend and she said yes. Just like she said yes when he proposed!!!" Chuck said angrily. "Ah yes I remember now" Bart acknowledged. "Well as fun as this has been we must dash" Bart said to Chuck "ok then" Chuck replied. Then they walked through the classroom door and they were back in Chuck's wardrobe "this is a bit like Narnia isn't it?" Chuck asked "yes is suppose it is" Bart agreed. "Now son. I have to go now but be good and follow your heart not your head. And if you do win Blair again. Don't mess this one up" Bart said sternly "I won't. Thanks Dad. I'll miss you" Chuck said sadly "I'll miss you too son. I love you. You know that right?" Bart asked "yeah I do. I love you too Dad. Goodbye" Chuck said "bye" Bart said as he disappeared.
