A nice little update for you :)
I'm not sure how much I like this chapter but let me know what you think...
Everything just got twisted
Serena and Dan squelched back to camp their whole bodies soaked, Serena shivered as she looked at Dan who hadn't said that much since the cap sizing incident.
Nate grinned at them as they entered the camp "So canoeing went well then?" he commented motioning at their clothes.
They both gave him dirty looks he raised his hands "Sorry I didn't mean to bring anything bad up" he mumbled.
Jenny squeezed his arm "You know Nate that was it and there is a massive foot print right in it. I think it's yours" she said smiling at him.
"Oh ha ha, very good" he said grinning at her.
"I try" she replied brightly, kissing him quickly so that Dan wouldn't catch them.
Jenny looked up "Hey Chuck and Blair are holding hands" she said pointing at them.
Nate turned to look at them "Well I've never seen Chuck hold hands with a girl before, he must really like her" he said considering his friends actions.
"I think its cute, maybe Chuck won't be such an ass anymore" Jenny said.
"I wouldn't be so hopeful, I don't think Chucks ever going to stop being an ass" Nate replied stroking Jenny's hair thoughtfully.
"Why are you stroking Jenny's hair?" they heard Dan ask as he approached them frowning slightly.
Nate's hand dropped to his side "She had a bug in it" he mumbled.
Jenny nodded "Yeh he as just getting it out for me" she said smiling at her brother. "What happened with the canoe?" she asked him changing the subject from Nate and herself.
Dan looked at the floor "It capsized a little bit" he replied.
Jenny laughed "Oh I see, never one for the outdoor activities were we Dan?" she said grinning at him.
He shook his head "Apparently not" he said.
Serena came out of the tent "You can say that again, it was his fault" she muttered as she stood next to him.
Dan nodded "This is true" he said.
Nate smiled "I doubt that Serena was exactly Lara Croft in this situation" he said.
Serena giggled "I could have been, but I only ever heard her say 'Welcome to my humble abode' on the game though" Serena replied speaking in a dodgy British accent.
Jenny, Nate and Dan laughed "Was that your impression of someone British, because if so you are very good" Dan said.
Serena pushed him playfully "Shut up" she replied.
"It was cute though" he said kissing her sweetly.
Serena grinned "I know I'm cute" she whispered hugging him.
Jenny made a being sick noise "You guys are sickening" she said grimacing at them.
Serena smiled, "One day Jenny you'll understand" she replied raising her eyebrow at Jenny and Nate.
Jenny blushed and looked at Nate who winked at her.
"Not too soon I hope she's still my little sister" Dan said puffing his chest out in a protective way.
Jenny rolled her eyes dramatically "I'm not seven Dan" she muttered.
Serena looked between them "Where are Blair and Chuck?" she asked innocently, pretending that she wasn't trying to change the subject.
Jenny shrugged "We saw them just a second ago, but I don't know where they went" she told her.
Serena nodded and thought out loud "Probably doing it in a bush or something" she said.
"Mm how lovely" Nate muttered, not really wanting to think about his ex girlfriend and best friend having sex in a bush a few feet away from him.
"We're not doing it in a bush" Chuck said as way of greeting them as he sat down on the blanket that Nate had left there.
Blair joined them her hair slightly messy and sat next to Chuck.
"But you were huh?" Dan asked looking at Blair's appearance sceptically.
"We were what?" Blair asked confused.
"Don't worry" Jenny reassured her.
Blair frowned "Okay" she mumbled, confused. "Anyway who's making dinner tonight?" she asked looking around at everyone.
They all looked at each other "You" they all replied.
Blair frowned "Fine" she grumbled.

"Have you ever cooked anything before?" Chuck asked staring at Blair who was reading a packet of spaghetti.
Blair gave him a look, "Of course I have" she said, "I just have one question how do I boil the water?" she asked him and he laughed at her.
"Oh Blair, I don't think that I can leave you to do this alone" he said sincerely as he put an apron on.
"I didn't realise you were Mr Kitchen Chuck" she said under her breath.
He smiled at her "Do you not want my help then?" he asked her.
Blair shook her head feverishly "I didn't say that, don't leave alone. Please Chuck" she begged him, making puppy dog eyes at him.
"Don't worry, I still help you. As long as you make it up to me later" he said lowering his voice to utter the last part.
Blair cocked her eyebrow "How could I make it up to you?" she asked him pretending to wonder what he wanted.
Chuck grabbed her by waist so that their faces were closer together "I think you know how" he whispered slowly lowering his mouth to cover hers. Blair clung to his shoulders as he did this.
Blair pulled back "Come on Chuck we need to make dinner, we can save that later" she whispered.
Chuck grinned "Well as long as we do, I guess I can wait" he said.
"Now time to make this spaghetti" Blair said holding up the packet and looking closely at it. "Do I like put the packet in the oven?" she asked him.
Chuck shook his head "Put the bag down Blair, maybe I should handle it" he said taking the bag from her hands.
Blair sighed "It's not my fault I don't know how to cook. I am privileged child" she pointed out.
"Don't worry about it Blair, with Dorota making food for you why would you need to learn to cook" he said.
Blair grinned "If the cell service wasn't so bad you know who I would be calling" she replied.
"Okay so I've put the water in the pot and now its on the hob all you have to do is watch it until it starts bubbling" he explained to her so that he could start making the other components of the meal.
Blair moved closer to it "Okay so just wait for the bubbles. Got it" she replied staring at the water. "Then what?"

"I am bored" Jenny muttered, she, Nate, Dan and Serena were playing a sleep inducing game of snap.
Dan looked at her "Well what do you suggest we do?" he asked her.
Jenny shrugged "I don't know" she yawned "I just don't want to play snap anymore" she replied.
"I'm bored too" Serena said, shuffling the cards in her hands.
"So what are you we going to do now?" Nate asked.
"I have twister in my tent" Serena offered as an idea.
Jenny looked at her "I could spin the spinning thing" she said.
Nate and Dan exchanged looks "You want to play twister?" they asked simultaneously.
Serena nodded grinning "Yes I love twister" she said excitedly clapping her hands together like a monkey.
"Okay then, let play" Dan said.
"Right hand green" Jenny said as she watched her boyfriend struggle to move his body to put his hand there. He currently had his legs crossed and one arm over Dan's head.
"Left foot blue" she said to Dan who gave her a look as he swung his leg over almost hitting Serena's face.
"Left hand yellow" Serena moved her hand and was now practically straddling Dan.
"You know I'm beginning to like this game" he said smiling at Serena.
Nate looked at him "Please do not straight making out on this twister mat, I don't want to be tangled in some weird threesome with you two" he muttered.
Jenny laughed and spun again "Guys dinner is ready" Blair shouted from the table.
Jenny stood up slowly, but almost fell back down as she did so. Nate rushed over to her holding her up "Are you okay?" he asked her and she shook her head as she clutched her leg in pain.
"Serena will you get me a blanket? Just hold on a second Jenny and then you can lie down" he said holding her, Jenny nodded miserably.
Serena laid the blanket down and Nate placed Jenny on it gently. "I think we need to get Mr Johnson, Blair, Chuck could you find him please?" Nate asked trying to keep as calm as possible.
They nodded "We'll be back ASAP" Blair said as she and Chuck went in search of him.
Dan looked at Jenny her facial expression was scared, more scared than he had ever seen her.
"Jenny, where does it hurt?" Nate asked her clutching her hand.
Jenny groaned "My leg it really hurts" she said quietly.
Dan looked at her leg and rolled her trousers up so that he could take a look at it "Oh" he mumbled.
Serena eyes widened "Dan that doesn't look good" she whispered.
Jenny looked at them "What, what is it?" she yelped as she looked at their faces.
Nate stroked her head "Don't worry you'll be fine" he reassured her.
Mr Johnson ran over and looked at her leg "That looks infected, I'm going to call an ambulance" he said.
Jenny eye's widened "An ambulance? Why what's wrong with my leg?" she shouted looking Nate.
"It just looks a little bit infected, you'll probably need some medicine to make it go away, but you'll be fine" he said placing a kiss on her forehead.
Jenny felt a tear slide down her cheek "Oh my God" she whispered.
Nate squeezed her hand "You'll be okay" he promised.
Jenny felt overwhelmed by dizziness and her head started to spin she closed her eyes and plunged into darkness.
