Introduction/Chapter 1

My Gossip Girl Fanfic

This fanfic starts after the Seventeen Candles episode. All events before and during Seventeen Candles are relevant in this story. It may not exactly follow the preview scenes from Blair Waldorf Must Pie, so I’m sorry if it’s not going to be accurate. I’m also sorry if it’s not very good; this is my first one. Please leave reviews! I’d love to hear what you think of my story so far. Oh, and Chapter 1 is just about Blair and Chuck, but I’m hoping to throw the others in there later on.

Chapter 1


Gossip Girl here. And just because it’s the morning doesn’t mean all the Upper East Side drama slows down. Looks like Bass is seeking some alone time with our Queen B. Don’t worry, though. Chuck is usually sober and sane until noon; a time when he is rarely seen. Let’s hope he stays that way; we have a feeling he won’t want to be spilling certain drunken secrets any time soon.

“I’m so glad you finally took me up on my breakfast offer. I wasn’t sure if you would show up after last night’s… events.” Chuck stirred his coffee slowly as he leaned across the small café table.
“Yeah, well, we couldn’t just leave things as they were. Plus, I can’t avoid you forever,” Blair replied dully, poking at her low fat blueberry muffin.
“True,” Chuck smirked. “I’m just too irresistible to ignore.” Blair pretended to gag as C adjusted his scarf.
“Right, that’s why,” she said sarcastically. “But seriously, Chuck, we need to talk about this. Someone’s gonna find out, and when they do, what are we going to say? Both of our reputations depend on dealing with this.”
“You’re right. But what are we supposed to do? Just act like Nate and Serena did for a year?”
“Don’t you dare compare us to Nate and Serena. It’s not the same,” Blair snapped bitterly.
“Oh, and why isn’t it the same?” Chuck looked at her, amused. “Well, besides the fact that they only did it once…”
“Oh, shut up! Chuck, we need to fix this. We can’t tell anyone the truth. No one will understand. But something needs to be done. If Nate finds out about this--” Blair stopped as the quiet ding of the door’s bell announced the arrival of a new customer.
“Uh… hi, Jenny,” Blair said sweetly, quickly leaning away from Chuck. Jenny walked over to their table shyly. Chuck glared at her.
“Um, hi Blair. Hi… Chuck,” she mumbled nervously. Chuck just stared at her, sipping his coffee. Blair ignored him, and looked J over.
“What are you doing here? This isn’t exactly your scene,” Blair said, glancing around the posh Manhattan coffee shop.
“I was just picking up some coffee beans for my dad,” Jenny replied, quickly grabbing a bag off a nearby shelf. “He says this place has the best. Um, what are you guys doing here?”
Blair rose from her seat. “Uh… me and Chuck were just discussing the next party. We’re thinking… ‘30s theme, right?” She glared at Chuck.
“The ‘3os are so… 70 years ago,” Chuck said distractedly, looking into the swirling liquid in his coffee cup.
“Well, that about wraps it up here,” B said nervously, grabbing her coat. “See you at school tomorrow, Jenny. Come on, Chuck.”
Chuck rose slowly, glancing at Jenny before turning and following Blair out the door. Jenny stood there for a few seconds, gazing at the exit.

Spotted: B and C hurriedly leaving a Manhattan café around 8:30. Little Jenny Humphrey soon followed them out the door, looking lost with her bargain ballet flats and knockoff Prada bag. What’s wrong, Little J? Did you see more than just two Upper East Siders planning another hit event? We certainly hope so. Because there’s nothing that Gossip Girl loves more than a half-eaten blueberry muffin with a fresh steaming cup of secrets.
