A/N: Enjoy!

Nate led Blair to the limo he had rented for the night. She smiled at him before getting in. He followed. He quickly told the driver to go to the concert before turning back to face Blair. She smiled at him.

"This is a great idea. I've needed a fun night with a friend."

Nate grinned.

"Well I'm happy I get to spend time with one of my best friends. It's been forever."

"Yes it has."

Nate took a deep breath before speaking.

"So, how are things?"

"Things are…..complicated. How are things with you?"

"Kind of messed up."

"How?"

"My dad was sent back to rehab. I guess he started to shoot up again after I came home from Dartmouth and told him I wanted to sail."

"How is he?"

"He's alright but I'm just worried about him."

Blair gave him a sympathetic smile and grabbed his hand. He looked at her. She spoke.

"If you need anything, I'm here."

He smiled at her. The rest of the drive was spent with Nate asking Blair more about her years at Yale. As much as she didn't want to think about it, it was nice someone wanted to know what was going on with her. Eventually the limo stopped and they stepped out. Nate escorted her in and took them to their seats. They were in the front row. A lot of money goes a long way. Blair was glad she was wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans. She would have not fit in if she was wearing a dress. They rocked out to the old and new hits of One Republic. Blair screamed like a fourteen year-old girl when the lead singer touched her hand. Nate couldn't help but laugh. After the concert, Nate suggested dinner. Blair agreed. They drove to Rosalito's. It was a restaurant that they and their friends spent a lot of time at during the end of junior year. They found a quiet booth. They each ordered their own plate of spaghetti. Neither of them noticed the camera flashed go off. Nate spoke.

"So how did you find the concert?'

"It was amazing. Thanks for taking me."

He smiled.

"No problem. I'm just glad I got to spend time with you."

Blair blushed. What is with him tonight? she thought. He spoke again.

"Blair, I need to tell you something."

Blair took a sip of her water and then spoke.

"Sure, what is it?"

He took a deep breath before speaking. He really wanted to tell her. Finally he spoke.

"Blair, I really like you and I'm really happy you would come with me."

Blair smiled.

"Well we are friends."

Nate sighed.

"That's the thing, I want to be more than friends. Blair, I want to go on another date with you."

He reached for her hands. She sat there in shock. What! No, Nate! I don't like you like that! I love Chuck! she thought. She moved her hands away so he wouldn't touch them. He looked at her in confusion.

"What is it?"

Blair knew she had to get out of there. She knew simply telling no to Nate would never work. She decided to do the only thing she could. She looked at Nate. She took a deep breath.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Everyone in the restaurant stared at her. She knew this wasn't ladylike but she had to do something. Nate looked at her. What the hell? he thought. Blair got up from the table.

"I have to go. I can go by myself. You have a pleasant night."

She rushed out of there. People were still staring at the crazy girl. Nate sat there shocked. What the fuck is going on? he thought.

In the meantime, Chuck sat at the Palace bar. He sipped his scotch. He wanted to be with Blair. He hated Nate. Nate knew. He had trusted him and now he and Blair were probably off doing god knows what. But he and Blair were friends right? So why was he getting so…..jealous? Chuck sighed and sipped his scotch again.

"Chuck?"

He turned around to see not only Hazel but her "best friend" Penny as well. What the hell are they doing here? he thought. Hazel flashed a fake smile. Penny did the same. Hazel spoke.

"Wow Chuck, it's been ages. You still look great."

Chuck smirked.

"I know I do, but I can't say the same about you two."

Hazel's smiled dropped. She immediately put on another fake smile.

"I heard you and Blair broke up."

Chuck looked up.

"I don't care if you know."

Hazel was still smiling.

"Why so defensive? You probably still love her but she broke your heart. Everyone knows she's out with Nate this very second."

Chuck raised an eyebrow.

"And how do you know that?"

Penny giggled but Hazel contained herself.

"Wow you have been gone for too long. Gossip Girl, remember?"

Chuck laughed.

"Gossip Girl? That bitch is still around?"

Hazel spoke.

"Well she disappeared for a couple of years but now she's back. I think someone's taken over."

Chuck rolled his eyes.

"I don't care."

Penny spoke.

"Sure you don't."

Chuck looked at the two of them.

"Don't you two have a rapist to visit in jail?"

Hazel spoke.

"We don't associate with Carter anymore."

Chuck smirked.

"What, not as retarded as you and your useless sidekick here?"

Penny's jaw dropped but Hazel did not care. She kept looking at Chuck.

"You tell Blair to watch her back, Bass."

"What ever you say, but I must warn you, Blair is wiser now and won't give a damn about this stupid revenge crap. It's about time you two grew up."

Hazel glared at him.

"Have you forgotten who your talking to you?"

Chuck smirked.

"Actually yes. What are your names again? Oh yes, Crazel and Lenny. God you two are such hermaphrodites."

He laughed. Hazel and Penny stared at him in confusion. Hazel spoke.

"Wow using big words."

Penny spoke.

"What is a hermaphrodite?"

Chuck grinned.

"A hermaphrodite is an organism with both male and female reproductive parts. Seems like the right word to sum you two up, isn't it?"

Both girls stared at him in confusion. He just laughed and walked away. He didn't need to be around them anymore.

Meanwhile, Blair was sitting in a taxi cab. She didn't want to go home. Maybe Serena was home. She told the driver to take her to the Palace. He did and she arrived in a matter of minutes. She got out of the cab and dashed into the hotel. She took the elevator to the top floor. Please be home! she thought. She arrived at the Penthouse. She knocked on the door. Eric opened it. He smiled.

"Hey Blair."

"Hey Eric, is Serena here?"

"She left an hour ago with Dan. But I'm here."

Blair smiled at him. Maybe she could talk to him. She stepped inside. He took her coat and put it on the coat hook. They walked into the living room. They sat down on the couch. Eric could see something was bothering her.

"Blair?"

She looked at him.

"Yes."

"What's wrong?"

She sighed.

"I don't know."

"Well something is wrong. Your tensed up."

Blair looked at him.

"Nate likes me, but I don't like him. I mean if this was seven or eight years ago I would have been so happy that he told me something like that, but now something says it would be wrong if he likes me."

Eric smiled at her.

"I think you have a certain Bass fellow on your mind."

"Eww I don't like Bart."

They laughed. Eric spoke.

"But seriously, I notice the way you look at Chuck and the way he looks at you."

Blair smiled at the thought of Chuck. She spoke.

"Me and Chuck are friends. What we had is over."

Eric rolled his eyes.

"Stop with the bullshit, Blair. Face it, you love Chuck and he loves you. It's as simple as that."

"It's not simple. It's anything but simple."

Eric's face softened.

"Well what's complicated about it?"

Blair sighed.

"Me and Chuck just can't be together. Too much has happened."

Eric understood. He knew better than to push Blair's buttons. He decided to change the subject.

"I'm looking around for an apartment. Do you know of any places that are good?"

Blair gasped.

"Your moving out of the penthouse?"

"Yeah."

"But it won't be the same without you."

Eric smiled.

"Come on, it's not like I'm moving to the other side of the world."

"But your still moving. Everyone's moving. Everyone's changing."

She buried her head in her hands. She just needed to cry. Everything was changing and it was changing too fast. Eric didn't know what to do. He put his arm around Blair and gave her a hug. What's bothering her? he thought.

In the meantime, Jenny sat at her desk. She was in her bedroom. She was searching the internet when her phone alerted her of a message. She opened it. She smiled. Looks like Gossip Girl is back she thought.

Hello Upper EastSiders,

Gossip Girl here after a long time gone.

Looks like the whole royal gang is back in town. Only one explanation, Queen S and Lonely Boy's marriage. I am ecstatic. Queen B and King C seemed to have ended their happy relationship. They were so joyful that it was sickening. We wonder who cheated on who. Our money's on B, C seems like a good boy after our Queen B changed him. But looks like B is already moving on, she and N were seen on a date. Awe N, you still think you have a shot. But wait, wasn't B seen with C yesterday at the Van der Woodsen-Bass brunch? B, you've got some explaining to do, especially for that scream you pulled at Rosalito's. And how did B deal with the aftermath of that scream, she went to the Palace of course. Of to see her king?

XOXO Gossip Girl
