Rated T

Chapter 1.

Marc sat at his desk thinking about all the ridiculous tasks Wilhelmina had made him do today; Fire Joanna from styles, send Bono a birthday card, set up fake agendas so that Wilhelmina can stalk her newly found friend: Connor Owens, so that she can split him up with her current girlfriend, and most ridiculously of all: Becoming 'Besties' with Christina so they can find out what Betty's has been telling her about Daniel.

Marc was just sighing to himself when his phone rang:

"Wilhelmina Slaters Office, Oh.. Nico. Yes, she's here..."

"Marc!"

"Nico, just hold on a second, yes I'll tell her..."

Marc put the phone on hold, without listening to whatever it was Nico was saying, and ran into the office beside him, going so fast that he nearly fell over the carpet!

"Yes, Willie?"

"Marc, why is it, that I'm only finding out now that Connor is going on Mode Annual Relaxation trip, without Molly?"

"Willie, I'm so sorry, I thought you knew, but there's something else you should know,"

"What is it now?"

"Oh, nothing just, em, Nico's on the phone."

"WHAT! Nico, are you sure, well, go on then, put her through, and go see if you can get the article of Victoria's Secret from Tracy in Ads while you're at it."

Marc walked quickly out of the room and took Nico off hold to put her through. He then walked down the hallway to find Tracy. He was so sick, of Wilhelmina treating him like anyone at the Meade Empire State Building: he had worked so hard for her and never got any credit for it.

He threw the ad design at one of the interns and decided to make a surprise visit to his BFF Amanda.

"Hey, what's wrong ? Now you look like a sad gay?"

"Well, you look like a sad slu-"

"Marc, there you are,"

Marc looked towards the tube and saw to his great shock and horror that his mother stood waiting in front of him with her beloved chihuahua, Spiro.

"MOM! What are you doing here?"

"Well your father was being unrealistic about Spiro, you see, so I decided to come and see my lovely son,"

"But, mom, I'm working!"

"I know but I decided I'd come and see all your friends and I can spend more time with you,"

"I know, but-"

"And you must be Amanda, Marc's told me all about you,"

"Oh, has he, and what exactly did he tell you?" Amanda wondering where this was leading.

"Well, lots, why wouldn't he? I mean you are his girlfriend, aren't you?"

Amanda choked on her low fat peanut, as she listened to Marc's mom, go on about how good she was for bringing up her sons confidence.

"Mom, why don't you go to the cafeteria, and I'll be right down in a few minutes,"

Marc didn't even give her a chance to speak, he just pushed her to the elevator, and said goodbye.

"Oh, so now I'm a sad slut that happens to be your girlfriend! Didn't you tell your mom that you're ga-"

"No! Okay! Please, do me a favor and pretend to be my girlfriend! It will only be for a few days at the most, she will be back to dad after 2 days at most,"

Marc pleaded with Amanda after she finally gave in after being bribed with the pick of the closet and first on the new Summer Swag list.

Marc sighed with relief, Thank God! He thought. He started walking back to his desk wondering what on earth was going to happen now and would Amanda be able to keep up with the story and convince his mom.

"Marc, Why is it that I'm only finding out now, that you've got yourself a girlfriend?" Wilhelmina teased.

"What! How did you know? And it's not real, it's only for a few days so my mom thinks I'm like a normal little boy,"

"Ha! If she believes that, then she will believe anything. But This will be funny, so how about I make a reservation at Baba for you three and me of course, I wouldn't miss this for the world!"

"Willie, thank you, you don't know how much this -"

"Marc, you know I hate it when things get personal between this. Just fix your make-up and make an arrangement for 8, oh and don't forget to tell Amanda."
