After taking a short nap, Katrina went out to go shopping. She spent most of her day getting retail therapy and being angry with Nate. She was completely pissed at Nate for not telling her about talking to her father. She didn't want to talk about it over the phone so she sent him a text asking if he could meet her at a new club called Show.

"I should kick your motherfucking ass!" Katrina said to Nate as he walked towards her.

"Excuse me?" he said looking completely confused. "What did I do?"

"Why didn't you tell me that you spoke to my father and showed him the real video?"

"Katrina…I wanted to tell you, but it slipped…"

"Don't you even dare tell me that it slipped your mind, that you forgot. You're full of shit, you know that?!" Katrina said feeling as if she would rip his pretty head off.

"Calm down. Okay, I didn't tell you that, but…"

"But, what?! You wanted to gain my trust so you could get me to come here quicker so you and Chuck and get your little revenge on Jason."

"Katrina, that's not it. I didn't tell you because I didn't know how you would react. I didn't want to lie to you about that, but I couldn't tell you. Forgive me, please." he said staring into her eyes and she felt weak staring into his ocean blue eyes.

"Okay, you're forgiven…sort of. You're going to have to work for my full forgiveness."

"Really? What did you have in mind?" he said putting on his sexy smirk.

"You have to attend a charity event with my mother and me." she said with a pleasant smile knowing that he was sort of disappointed that she wasn't talking about sex.

"Oh. Well, I'll be your date then. What time should I pick you up?"

"I'll pick you up. So, are you just going to stand there or are you joining me for a drink?" she said as she gestured toward a stool next to her.

"I'll join you, but I'm not so sure about the drink. Are you sure you're okay drinking again?" he said not wanting her to drink and end up in the state she was in before she left.

"Nate, if I tell you something, would you be angry with me?"

"You haven't stopped drinking…" he said looking down at the floor then looked back at her. She looked ashamed, but he didn't want to make her feel bad. "I'm not angry. I just don't want you to get out of control. I mean, it's usually not a problem to the person with the problem. Are you absolutely sure that you're okay just having one drink and stopping?"

"Yes. I've just realized that binge drinking is for thirteen year olds. But, seriously, I see it as a way to discipline myself to take control of my life. I mean, we're all basically 30. We all grew up quicker than most kids our age. So, are you mad at me?"

"Well, yes. You just blew up on me for keeping a secret and when I have the chance to do the same…I can't even think of something better than, 'I should kick your motherfucking ass!'." he said laughing and Katrina laughed also.

"Yeah, that was a good one, huh?" she said as she kissed him.

"It was. I just find it hard that you're going to kick my ass in that dress and those heels." he said referring to her copper color Marc Jacobs mini dress and matching heels…color and designer. "I see you went shopping today. You look beautiful."

"Yeah, I didn't realize it until I was packing that I gave most of my clothes to Latoya. Oh well, new wardrobe, new me." she said smiling and Nate leaned over and kissed her. She ordered herself and Nate a glass of wine.

Suddenly, Nate got and alert from Gossip Girl and he was looking around the club.

"What's wrong now?" Katrina said as she sipped from her glass and Nate showed her. She saw a picture of her and Nate kissing and it looked like it was taken a few minutes ago.

Gossip Girl here,

It seems like a certain party girl has returned. Wonder if she knows about bad boy, Jason's real video. Though it appears that's the least of her worries. Looks like Nate won't be crossing the Brooklyn Bridge anytime soon.

XOXO,

Gossip Girl

Nate was looking around the club and didn't see Chuck, so he knew he couldn't have sent the tip to Gossip Girl. He wasn't really trying to keep their relationship a secret, but he didn't know people would respond this fast.

"Nate, I think I know who sent the tip." Katrina said staring off into space, but he looked in the direction she was staring and saw Blair's minions. Penelope, Hazel, and Isabelle were standing in the corner of the club pretending to look away from the bar.

"Look, if you want to leave, we can leave. It's okay."

"No, we can stay. One thing I've learned from spending the summer with Grandma Lucille, is to not sweat the small bullshit."

"Well, that would be all well and good if they weren't coming over here right now." he said as he saw them coming towards them with evil intend in their eyes.

"Well, well…party girl is back." Penelope said with a sneer. "And you've managed to latch yourself onto poor Nate Archibald."

"What do you want, Penelope?" Katrina said with irritation. She was expecting to see herself on Gossip Girl, but she was not in the mood for bullshit.

"I'm sure Blair knows your in town now…"

"Thanks to you bitches, she does." Katrina said as she got up off the stool and Nate knew Katrina was in attack mode. Normally, she wouldn't resort to getting physical because she viewed it to be tacky, but spending the summer with her wild cousin, Latoya, has made her a little rough around the edges. Although, he would love to see Katrina kick some ass. He was relieved to see her fold her arms across her chest. "I'm not in the mood for drama tonight, so I'll give you a message you can give to Blair, which I think she already knows because Chuck might have told her because I gave that same damn message to him. Anyway, the message is to watch her fucking back if she doesn't stay off of mine."

"Are you threatening a former Queen B?" Hazel said with a daring look.

"No. I'm just threatening a plain bitch. Now, go run and tell that." she said triumphantly and all three of them glared at her. "Oh, by the way, send this to Gossip Girl." she said as she held up her middle finger and walked off. Nate followed her feeling amazed at how strong she had gotten since she stayed with her grandmother, but he felt nervous for the retaliation she will face. Lucille never had to deal with vengeful bitches with power and money.

"Katrina," Nate said as he stopped her and pulled her into an embrace as they danced. "do you realize what you just did? There's no way to escape them, you're in New York, remember?"

"I know…" Katrina said with a sly smile knowing that Nate didn't have any idea of the sneaky tactics she would use to counter their attacks. She was ready to fight this time.
