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.
