gossip girl season three episode seventeen - inglorious basstards

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" cassie shouted as she ran down the stairs into nate's arms. "thank you!" he kissed her.

"so what are we doing today?" he asked her. "uhm" she bit her lip, "you have a lunch with your grandfather today, and you also need to be back by 3 because we have a gala to get ready for" she lied. "oh okay" he said trying not to look sad but he was let down since he expected his girlfriend to do something more for his birthday. 

"well i should probably go" he said before leaving. "hello mr. nate" dorota said to him as he left, and quickly scurried to cassie.

"i feel so bad about not wishing him a happy birthday or not bringing him polish sausage in bed" she said to the blonde, "don't feel bad dorota, nate has to think everyone's blowing off his birthday so he'll really be surprised" cassie smiled.

"and he likes this game? where you kill people" "it's called assassin and he loves it, did you get his phone?" cassie asked, and dorota handed her the phone.

"just incase someone posts about the party i don't want him checking gossip girl" cassie stated.

cassie handed dorota the party weapons bag before leaving to set up the party.

cassie rushed around the waldorf house to get everything set up.

"cassie!" aubrey called out, "yeah!" cassie turned to the girl. "we need more time, the camera just broke and asher messed up the cake" she told her best friend.

"oh god! i'm gonna call william to stall" cassie pulled out her phone. "hey mr vanderbilt! it's cassie but don't tell nate!" she spoke but was cut off.

"ryan! serena! where's nate? he's not with william!" cassie asked the two, "i don't know" ryan replied, "cass, let's send a tip to gossip girl, maybe people around can help" serena put her hands on the girls shoulders.

around an hour has passed and the group has finished preparing for the party but nate hasn't showed up yet.

"hey cassie, any word on nate yet?" dan asked the anxious girl. "nope, can you check gossip girl?" she asked and he pulled out his phone.

dan saw on his phone that nate was with madelyn and couldn't bare to tell cassie, "no sorry" he lied, "want me to start taking pictures?" he asked, and she nodded.

cassie paced around the party. "cassie stop pacing please, your scaring my child" he said with the baby in his hands. "ugh i can't believe he didn't even call" she groaned. "the party's still great without the guest of honor cass, asher tell auntie cassie to stop spreading negative energy" he spoke softly to his baby.

"suprise!" dorota yelled and cassie turned to see what happened. "oh my god!" nate came in through the door with madelyn following. "sorry were late everyone!" she said as nate hugged cassie. "i can't believe you did all of this!" he kissed her forehead, and she smiled softly.

"the goal of the game is to kill or be killed" cassie started to explain the rules. "okay! we have 5 minutes to hide, around the block only go!" she told everyone and they left but cassie stayed.

"hey? whats wrong?" he asked. "were you not gonna come to the gala?" she asked. "what- cassie" he put his hands on her shoulders. "i was sort of mad, i mean my girlfriend did nothing for my birthday, but thank you for planning this" he hugged her. "your welcome, but now lets go!" she ran off. 

cassie ran around the block grabbing as many photos as she could. she spotted dan and vanessa talking and used this opportunity to take their photos. "atleast you'll be together on the other side" she waved their photos in the air.

the blonde ran after nate but he got through the door and leaned against it. "any last words before i open this door and kill you?" he asked. "look i know you thought i blew off your birthday, but you did ditch me!" she told him and he opened the door. "cassidy! it wasn't like that" he told her.

"nate, i need to know why you ignored our plans to spend the day with madelyn, please tell me you don't like her" she begged. 

"i promised her i wouldn't say anything but shes been going through a lot of family issues" he said. "and she came to you about it?" cassie crossed her arms, "only because i was involved, look her brother slapped her right in front of me" he told his girlfriend. 

"oh my god. is she okay?" cassie sympathized since she knew what having a toxic parent was like. "i stopped it before anything else happened, but she's having a rough time"

"i'm sorry" cassie wrapped her arms around the guys neck. "your such an amazing guy nate archibald, can i kiss you before i kill you?" she asked. 

"i know, but cass, i did something really bad" he said, "oh god, what?" she asked. "sorry, i just did something bad" he snatched her photo and smirked. 

"well played, i guess its just you and madelyn left" she laughed. 

she went back to the house and walked over to aubrey. "cassie this cocktail is amazing!" she gloried and cassie gave her a look. "what? i haven't been able to eat sushi or alcohol for 9 months let a girl live" she sipped her drink, "whos left" 

"nate and madelyn" cassie said and aubrey gave her a look. "cassie, i'm only saying this because i love you. but don't you think there getting a bit too close" aubrey asked. "aubs, i appreciate the concern but they are just friends, hes only with her because shes going through a lot" cassie said as aubrey glared. 

the two's conversation was interrupted by nate and madelyn coming in. "everyone" madelyn spoke, "i won!" she smiled and everyone cheered. 

after the party finished and nate finished his goodbyes to everyone, he walked up to cassidy. 

"hey" she said softly as he gave her a quiet tight hug. "whats this for?" she asked pulling away. "everything, lets head up stairs" he put his hand on the girls back.

"did you hear that vanya proposed to dorota during the game?" she asked while they headed up the stairs. "no way" he gasped.
