Gossip Girl - Modern Fairytale [NღJ] #186 - BC in 2x08, Nate and Jenny were both too sexy for their shirts.

**chasing starlight** · 06-14-2009, 10:03 PM

It's the potential for love that grew from another. This modern fairytale began at a masked ball thrown by Blair in season
one. Nate had grabbed and kissed Serena (or so he thought) near the hour of midnight, when as it turns out, it was little Jenny
Humphrey. When Nate discovered what had happened, he decided to apologize and give Jenny chocolates, only to have them
taken away. When they were both down and out feeling unwanted at Blair's birthday party they sat on the steps and talked. We
learned that they could be there for one another and never expect anything out of each other. Their friendship was confirmed when
Nate helped Jenny with her fallen books – as in many a classic love – much to the amusement of Chuck Bass. She was the one however
with the knowledge of Chuck’s dalliance with Blair and let it be known to Nate proving that she alone could he trust. Next, when Jenny
found herself in a troublesome situation it was Nate that she turned to. He came to her aid as any good Prince Charming would. After that
it seemed like it was all over, that they would never speak again even when a few feet away from each other. That all changed when Nate
lost everything. There was only one place that would take him in – Jenny’s family because they honestly cared for his welfare. Living within
such close proximity of each other encouraged their love; from accidentally running into Nate in the apartment's bathroom to Nate coming to
Jenny's work to hand-deliver her sketchbook, it was obvious that the two were falling for each other. At an art show Nate asked Jenny to hang out,
and every fangirl's heart broke when the two argued; however, our hearts were quickly repaired when Nate actually went to the artist to inquire
about the boy Jenny had left with. Jenny's knight in shining Armani, Nate, found her dancing around with two bad influences, and he whisked her
away. And then, outside of that apartment, it happened: the two kissed and set the dark on fire. For a week afterwards, Nate avoided Jenny even
though they lived in the same home. Of course, fate wouldn't let things stay that way forever; when Jenny was caught by Dan while planning her
guerrilla fashion show, Nate came to her defense. In order to prove that he cared for her, Nate came with Jenny to the fashion show and stayed the
entire time; he was her support, her rock, and she needed him. In order to calm her down Nate kissed her-- a surprise kiss-- a beautiful slow-motion
kiss that melted our hearts. Unfortunately this kiss was captured and sent to Gossip Girl, and when Dan saw this, he demanded that Nate get out
of their home. Nate still stayed at the fashion show at Jenny's request, and at the climax, when things were going so perfectly well, she ran into his
arms and kissed him. However, just like any other storybook tale, things went downhill after the climax; Vanessa saw them kiss, and Jenny ripped
out of Nate's arms to go find the girl to apologize. Before leaving town for the Hamptons, Nate sent Jenny a hand-written letter. The weeks passed, and
Jenny moved out of her home; the letter went unnoticed until Thanksgiving. At the Humphrey home, Vanessa found the letter and stole it before
Jenny could see it. Vanessa got back with Nate and when Jenny found out, she was angry and aided the mean girls with a plot. At the ball, however,
Jenny felt bad-- but was too late and could not stop the prank. Upon discovering that Vanessa had stolen the letter and that J had aided in the prank,
Nate went to Jenny and told her off, breaking our hearts and Jenny's. Months passed before our prince and princess spoke again or even looked at each
other. It was a short, tense chat behind the scenes of the play. The season finale came, and the two barely acknowledged each other
or their past. We can only hope that season three will contain more scenes for our ship.

"It's good to see you though." Nate smiled at her. "Jennifer," he said.
"I was thinking about you all weekend, and now here you are."
"Me too," Jenny said, smiling shyly. Again, she wondered if Nate
was going to kiss her.
"I kind of felt bad before when we were in the park," Nate continued.
"You know, when my friends showed up?"
Jenny nodded. Yes?
"There was something I wanted to do," Nate said. "And I should
have just gone ahead and done it."
Yes! Yes!
Nate pulled her toward him. They both kept their eyes open,
smiling as they kissed.
Jenny had kissed two boys during a kissing game at a party once,
but kissing Nate was the best moment of her entire life. She felt
like she was going to explode with happiness.
Nate was surprised at how well she kissed. It definitely felt better
than when he kissed Blair. Jennifer just tasted better. Like a sugar
donut or a vanilla shake.
He pulled back, still gazing at Jenny's flushed & happy face.

Serena, r i g h t ?
N: oh, Serena right?
J: that’s funny.
N: hmm…not really.
J: No...what are you doing in the girls hall?
N: I was actually looking for you. I really didn’t mean
anything when I said I had feelings for Serena.
J: maybe you didn’t, I just, I mean, I don’t care but other people might.
N: yeah, I know
J: yeah, including my brother. you bought me chocolates?
N: well, I know you care about being friends with Blair,
& your brother is with Serena, & I’ with Blair, and I just need you to
help me out here, promise?

hey n a t e
J: I heard about you dad. I’m sorry, well if it makes you feel any better
my family isn’t doing that great either. You know I actually
didn’t wanna come to Blairs’ party, as much as I just wanted
to get out of my house.
N: yeah, I know the feeling. Blair’s birthday present.
J: your mothers ring. Blair told me about, wow it’s beautiful.
N: I know, I’m supposed to give it to Blair tonight.
J: I’m guessing that wasn’t your idea?
N: Blair and I broke up, and I know it was the
right thing to do I mean we shouldn’t be together right now
you know?
J: you sound like you’re pretty sure about that
N: I am, as much as I wanna do the right thing and
help out my parents, It’s not fair to me, or to Blair. I just think that
if I do this now when does it ever stop?
J: it will only stop when you stop it.

with y o u

She hesitated for a second and then walked over. Nate pulled
her down on top of him and wrapped her inside his coat, kissing
her forehead and then each of her cold, rosy cheeks.

She brushed her lips against his chin and couldn’t resist
saying it again. Maybe, just maybe, he hadn’t heard
her the first time.

“I love you,” she whispered.

This time Nate had to respond. He was holding
her, and she was looking into his green eyes with her
big brown ones, waiting.

And they’d just seen the Nutcracker, for God’s sake,
which was a love story, in case he didn’t
remember.

“I love you, too,” he murmured.

And then they kissed for a long, long time. Jenny’s
red hat fell off and her dark brown curls fell over
their faces, shrouding them.

friendly a d v i c e
N: you don’t know what you’re dealing with here.
J: I’m not scared of Blair, Nate.
N: no, I’m not talking…I’m talking about your new
circle. I mean they’ve been friends with Blair forever and look at
what they’re doing to her, If you fall out of line what do you think
is gonna happen to you?
J: then I won’t fall out of line.
N: I’m not saying...its just you’re not like those girls Jenny.
J: it’s weird, Nate, since they’re my friends
you’d think we have some stuff in common.
N: okay, I will give you this: you’ve got good aim.

you're o k a y
J: hey, I’m sorry for calling you like that earlier, I’m so embarrassed,
I mean, it was stupid and inappropriate.
N: no, no, no. listen, I’m just glad you’re okay.
J: well, okay. I do have a favor to ask you, I mean it’s not money
I just don’t really wanna be alone on my birthday.

looks g o o d
N: Whoa, sorry.
Oh my god, Jenny.
J: Uumm, Sorry, uh...
N: Did you do something with your hair?
J: yeah, shorter, blonder, I was bored.
N: I like it, it looks good.
J: Thanks.
N: Oh go ahead and use the bathroom.
J: Oh no, I’m gonna go, I’ll just pee at work
N: No no no.
J: No no, its fine.
N: Ok

into y o u
N: Jenny, hey!
J: Nate? What are you doing here?
N: I found this when you left, and I thought
You might need it.
J: Oh my god, I do. Thank you! Thank you so much.
N: Sure.
J: That was really nice of you!
N: Well, I'll let you get back to work.
J: Yeah, I’ll see you. Bye!
A: That guy is totally into you!
N: No, he’s not. He thinks of me has a little sister.
A: Yeah, a little sister he’d like to do.
J: No, no he doesn’t!
A: yeah yeahhh!!!

hang o u t
N: Jenny, hey! Hey, wait up!
Hey, are you taking off already?
J: yeah, me and my friends are going to a party.
N: oh, I didn't know, I was hoping we could hang out tonight.
J: well, there's always tomorrow at the loft.
N: really? I mean, I kinda doubt that. You're always
working now, like last night and the night before.
J: well I actually quit Eleanors.
N: you quit Eleanors? That job was everything to you.
J: I know, it might sound crazy but I'm actually thinking
of starting my own line.
N: really? what did your dad think of that?
J: ok, I was hoping for a 'congratulations Jenny!' or a little
modest wow.
N: no, look. I mean, c'mon, Jenny. Do you really
think you can start your own business right now?
A: you coming, Jen?
J: yeah, be right there.
N: hey how old is that guy?!
J: ok, that guy's name is Max, and he went to Reistly
with Aaron and he's an amazing photographer and he's going
to shoot my line. Look, I gotta go, my friends are waiting for me,
so I guess if my dad asks just tell him I'm at Eleanors.

set the dark on f i r e
J: How could you do that to me?
N: what are you talking about? you're lucky I showed
up when I did. That was a bad scene, Jenny.
J: what? No, it wasn't. We were dancing around in
our underwear, not making a porno.
N: not yet anyway!
J: no, not ever! I would never get myself get in a
situation like that, I know what I'm doing, Nate!
N: I know you think you do, but that guy was taking
advantage of you!
J: ok, you are not my father, you are not my brother,
so why do you care so much?
N: Because.

This soundtrack is the musical scrapbook of the relationship between

chronological order depicting all their significant moments from that
accidental first kiss to that angsty confrontation at the Snowflake Ball.
Plus, listen carefully to "Say When" by The Fray for it is the musical
narrative of their relationship from beginning to the present. I had a
blast putting it together and I look forward to continuing to watch their
story unfold…because it is only beginning. Enjoy listening!

You know you love me.
