Rachel's father and Chuck's father decided it would be a good idea. Rachel and Chuck didn't mind that, because those two were getting really close. The two of them were on their way to rehearsal of the Debutante Ball. They arrived at the rehearsal and started practicing the Debutante ball dance.

"Are you having fun?" Blair asked.

"Yes. I am having a good time." Rachel said excited.

"Good. So, I will see you for tea tonight." Blair said.

"Yes. I will be there. See you later, Blair." Rachel said.

Rachel grabs her bag and leaves with Chuck. Chuck and Rachel headed to Chuck's tux fitting. Rachel knows something is off about Chuck.

"Chuck, what has got into you today?" Rachel asked.

"It is nothing. Forget about it." Chuck said before heading into the fitting. They both walk into the fitting.

Later in the day, Rachel arrived at Blair's place for the tea to honor Serena grandmother Cece and Lily. 

"Rachel, good to see you again. How are you?" Cece asked hugging and kissing Rachel both side of cheeks.

"It's good to see you too, Cece. I am wonderful." Rachel said.

Serena walked over to them with Dan. Right after they walked over, Carter came over. Rachel was shocked to see Carter at the party. 

"Rachel, have you met Carter Baizen? Serena escorted." Cece said.

"Good to see you again, Carter." Rachel said.

"You two know each other."

"From high school. I was few years head of them."

Everyone went to sit down for tea. Blair was asking Carter when he got back and where all did, he goes.

"I am back for good. I came back for someone." Carter said. 

Rachel was starting to not feel so well.

"I have to go. I am not feeling too well." Rachel whispered in Blair's ear.

Rachel got up to leave the party and headed to Chuck's suite. Rachel knocked on the door and Chuck answered the door. Chuck was surprised to see Rachel at his door.

"Rachel, what are you doing here? Are you okay?" Chuck asked.

"Carter Baizen's is escorting Serena to the Debutante Ball. I can't go to the ball now." Rachel said.

"Do come to the ball with me? I will handle Carter for you." Chuck said.

"Thank you, Chuck." Rachel said.

It was the day of the Debutante Ball and Rachel getting her hair and make-up done by someone. Rachel put on her beautiful white gown and head downstairs to Chuck.

"Wow. You look so beautiful." Chuck said.

They got into the limo and headed to the palace. They arrived and head up to their spot on the stairs. Rachel was before Blair on the stairs.

A woman was announcing every girl. She got done with Kati and it was Rachel's turn.

"Ms. Rachel Lockwood, daughter of Victoria and John Lockwood. Escorted by Charles Bass. Ms. Rachel hopes to attend Columbia in the fall of 2009 and help her mother with her company one day."

Rachel head upstairs, when Blair was next. The dance started and they were switching partner. When it came to be Nate turn to dance with Rachel. Nate was watching Blair and Carter dance, when Chuck whispered something in Nate's ear.

Nate went off to punch Carter in the face. Both Carter and Nate were escorted out of the party. Blair, Serena, and Jenny went to go fix Blair's dress. Chuck and Rachel dance together again. 

"Problem solved." Chuck said.

"Chuck, what did you say to Nate?" Rachel asked.

"I will tell you if you come to Monaco with me as my date." Chuck said.

"Yes, Chuck. When do we leave?" Rachel said. 

"Two days before Christmas." Chuck said.

Rachel could not wait to go to Monaco with Chuck.
