"Gossip Lord - Episode 1"
"Miss Blair!"
Blair opened her eyes and slowly sat up in her bed. She heard a knock on the door and Dorota entered the room, slightly annoyed.
"Time for breakfast, miss Blair. You are late... again."
Blair only nodded in response, still tired and not in the mood to eat. Dorota seemed to notice her bad mood and quickly walked out of the room again.
Bzzz Bzzz.
Bzzz Bzzz.
Blair took her phone and sighed. Just another message from Gossip... Lord. She still giggled everytime she read the name of Gossip Girl's replacement and tried to focus on the actual text.
She froze. This was not how Blair Waldorf expected her day to begin.
Good morning Upper East Siders! Gossip Lord here, standing on a bus on my way to Brooklyn to buy some candy (don't even ask).
One of my many sources, LittleDancer123, sends us this:
Spotted at The Palace, just outside his limo: Chuck Bass. Was it only a month ago our bad boy disappeared after his father's funeral? Chuck is back, and if you don't believe me, LittleDancer123 here sent us proof.
Thanks for the photo, Mel!
I wonder if Bleh Waldorf missed Chuck while he was gone...?
OMG.
OMFG.
Blair couldn't believe what she was reading. He was back. Chuck Bass was back. Did the stupid MotherChucker really think he could return to his old life, just like that? Sure it had only been a month since she last saw him, but she had finally said those three words, eight letters and it didn't matter. He had still left her all alone on the street, crying.
"I will stand by you through anything... Because I love you".
She was terrified. How would he react? Would he say it back, or just run away? There was a long, awkward silence before he responded.
"Goodbye, Blair" was the only thing he could come up with before disappearing into his limo.
"MISS BLAIR!".
Oh. Right. Reality. Blair shook off all her thoughts of Chuck and quickly found her robe, before leaving her room for that breakfast Dorota so desperately wanted her to have.
--------------
Lily was sitting on the couch, reading Nylon and cuddling with Rufus, the man she told herself she was in love with.
Knock, knock.
"Was that the door?" Lily wondered, but soon realized that it was a stupid thing to say. The look Rufus gave her made her feel like a dumb blonde, but she was getting used to it. Their relationship was far from perfect and she suspected that Rufus was hiding something from her. Did he have an affair? She felt a little guily for nor trusting him, Rufus couldn't be cheating on her. Could he?
"Rufus, I told you not to do that look!" she yelled. "Apologize, now!"
Knock, knock.
Rufus sighed, clearly annoyed.
"Fine, I'm sorry! Now go get the door!"
Lily got up from the couch and slowly walked towards the door. She opened it and was surprised when saw Chuck standing there.
"Charles! I didn't expect to see you here..." She noticed the man standing next to him. "... and Jack?"
Chuck tried to ignore Lily and stepped inside the penthouse, only to spot Rufus Humphrey sitting on the couch, reading Nylon magazine. Humphrey. In their couch. Where Bart used to sit.
"Hey!" Rufus shouted. "Chuck Bass! Can I make you some waffles?" he asked before throwing the magazine away and quickly got up from the couch.
Chuck looked at him, clearly confused. Had Rufus Humphrey just offered to make him waffles?
"Uhm... well, I am pretty hungry" he said and followed Rufus into the kitchen.
-------------
"So Jack... why are you here?"
Jack walked towards the couch and sat down. "Well, you know... business" Lily stepped closer to him. "Yes... but why are you HERE?"
Jack picked up the magazine from the floor and opened it. "Well," he said. "I was thinking... maybe I could stay here? It's just for a few days." She angrily took the Nylon magazine from him. "This is my magazine, and..." Lily realized that she didn't really have a reason not to let him stay, and decided to be nice for once. "Fine, you can stay with us. But only for a few days."
Knock, knock.
Chuck walked out of the kitchen and went to open the door. He really didn't want to see anyone, but opened it slowly. "Nate. Hey... So, what are you doing here?" Chuck was not in the mood to be social, but tried to sound somewhat happy to see his best friend. Nate stepped inside.
"Oh hey man, it's good to have you back!" he smiled, and Chuck couldn't help but notice that his smile sometimes made him look like a plastic doll.
"So... I know you've been through a lot..." Nate continued.
You have no idea, Chuck thought to himself.
"But I was thinking, maybe we could go to school together? For old times sake."
Jack got up from the couch to see who his dear nephew was talking to and couldn't help but smile when he saw who it was. Nate! He could never admit it to anyone, but the main reason he wanted to move in with the family was because of Chuck's best friend. He'd seen Nathaniel Archibald before, but hadn't been able to stop thinking about him ever since.
Nate finally noticed Jack standing a few feet away from them and nodded.
"Hi. Nate Archibald, is it? Chuck's best friend" Nate waved carefully and took a good look at his friend's uncle. Chuck glanced at Nate sceptically, what was he doing?
"Oh. Hi, Jack. Yeah man, I've heard about you" Nate answered casually, trying not to look as uncomfortable as he felt. "Wait, how do you know my name?"
Jack face suddenly turned red. "Well... same reason as you... know my name. Chuck spoke about you a lot before."
Awkward silence.
Chuck felt weirded out by the situation and began to walk out of the room. "Nate, let's go. School, remember?"
They could hear Serena's voice from the kitchen, she was yelling at Lily furiously. When she finally stopped, the blonde came running towards the door but stopped when she saw Chuck standing there. "Oh my God!" she squealed. "CHUCK! You're back!" Serena skipped over to Chuck and welcomed him with a tight hug. Chuck looked surprised but returned the hug. "Well, hello you you t-"
Serena cut him off before he had a chance to say anything. "I'd love to talk, but I need to pick upBlair, we're walking to school together today." Chuck looked down "Oh... Blair... right. Well, see you at school... or something."
Serena saw Jack and Nate, but decided to ignore them. She stepped into her shoes and walked out through the door. Less than a minute later, Chuck saw that Rufus and Lily were back. "Well, we have to go now so... I'll see you later, Charles... and Jack" Lily added before she left. "Don't forget, there's... six waffles left in the kitchen... just in case someone gets hungry'' Rufus pointed out before he ran after Lily and disappeared.
Chuck put on his scarf and jacket in a hurry. "Well, I guess we have to go now, we're already late. Bye, Jack." Nate looks slightly confused, but followed Chuck and waved goodbye to Jack, who responded with a wink.

Ding.
Serena stepped out of the elevator and entered the Waldorf penthouse. See spotted Blair, who immediately ran over to her. "Hi, S!" Blair greeted Serena happily and gave her a quick hug. "Well, I'm ready so... let's just go." Serena smiled and grabbed Blair's hand before they both got back into the elevator.
Ding.
A minute later they both got out of the elevator and walked towards the front door. They had barely talked to each other before Serena broke the silence. "Hey Blair, do you want to take a cab insted? Or we can still walk to school, you know its a nice weather today." Blair looked outside and sighed a little.
"Yeah, let's walk."
They had been walking for a few minutes when Serena realized that Blair still didn't know.
"Oh! Blair, I forgot to tell you! Chuck is back, I think he got back this morning or something and-"
Blair looked down. "Uhm... yeah, I already knew that". Serena looked at her, confused, and instantly noticed that something was bothering her.
"Blair" she said. "Come on Blair, you look so sad. Whats wrong?"
Blair gave Serena an angry look and laughed."What's wrong? You're asking me what's wrong? Well, I'm going to tell you whats wrong!" she yelled furiously. "It's that Chuck BASSTARD! I finally told him that I love him! The only thing that motherchucking basstard could come up with was 'Goodbye Blair'," she continued, still mad. "And then he left. For a month!"
Serena was shocked, but suddenly started to clap her hands in excitement. "Oh my god, B! That great, you told him!"
Blair was confused. How was that a good thing? She took a bite out of Serena's candy and glared at her.
"But he never said it back!!!" Blair felt that her complaits were starting to sound pathetic. "Ugh, S! At least pretend to be on my side, okay?" Serena looked back at her and smiled when she spotted Dan. "Oh, there's Dan!" she squealed in delight. "I have to go Blair, but I'll see you later, okay?"
Serena ran towards Dan and obviously hadn't heard what Blair had just told her.
-------------
"Hey man, I wanted to ask you something," Nate sat down next to Chuck on the bench in the courtyard. "Why did you leave for a whole month? I mean... I kinda missed you, man." he continued.
Chuck sighed. "Your lucky I'm even here..."
Blair was running, desperately trying to find Serena. She stopped when she saw Chuck and Nate sitting in the courtyard and looked at Chuck for a second, before walking over to the bench.
"Hi guys" she smiled. "So you're back now, Chuck?"
Chuck turned around to look at Blair, for the first time since he had left her alone after the funeral. "Yes, I am. Did you miss me or what?" he answered icily while Nate looked confused. "Well I have to go, bye man... and Blair." Blair looked annoyed, she hated when Nate used the word "man", which was pretty much all the time. "So chuck... how was Thailand?" she asked sweetly. Chuck looked away, he really didn't want to talk about this. "I dont remember, and... I dont care. And why don't you just leave now? I'm not in the mood to talk."
Blair got up and looked at him for a second, turned around and left.
