A/n: I probably shouldn't be starting a new story when I haven't finished my other betty story, but the idea suddenly came to and I had to write it down. this story is an AU it will mainly focus on Daniel , Betty and Henry . things that are the same is that they all still work for mode but none of the drama that is going on in the show exsist ie. the whole Bradford /Faye/ Alexis stuff , Daniel's family is dysfunctional but not as much on the show his parents are divorced and basically hate each other , faye dosn't exsist and Claire is a hot show lawyer and isn't a drunk. Alexis dosn't exsist because Alex died as a child ,but Daniel does have a younger sister named Tara-lynn . I may or may not include Amanda or marc and The setting is also different instead of being in new york , Meade publications is set in Leore, a fictional city in California. This story will be fairly short cause you can only go so far with a coma plot ...I'd say between 5-10 chapts. Just incase any of that is confusing I've also included a character list.

Prologue

Daniel picked up his briefcase , turned off the lights and exited his office. It had been a long and stressful week, but in the end 'team detty', the name the officed dubbed Daniel and Betty, had reeled in another great client for the growing fashion magazine. He popped into, Betty's, who had become more like a best friend, office. She was packing up her things to leave.

"I'm heading out, you want a ride?"

Betty looked up and gave Daniel one of her famous smile. He'd come a long way in the past three years he was always so sweet and kind to everyone its one of twhat made him such a great co- worker and friend. Together they had saved the failing magazine when Bradford had given it to Daniel after he deemed it a lost cause. Three years passed and the magazine had become number one in Leore and the citys that surrounded it.Even after the success of the magazine Daniel chose to stay a part of the magazine by continuing to be its Editor in Chief and promoting Betty to head writer.

" Thanks, but Henry's still here so I'm riding home with him"

"Ok, well goodnight Betty"

" Goodnight Daniel, see you tommorrow"

Daniel smiled at her and walked toward the elevator. He was supposed to have Dinner with his Mother but,she had canceled when an important issue involving one of her cases came up as usual. Having noone to meet he figuired he'd take the long way to his condo. The elevator reached the parking floor and he walked off.

He reached into his pocket grabbed his keys and pressed the alarm button to unlock his car. He got in and in a few minutes was on the local 65 highway. He suddenly felt hungry and when he saw a sign mentioning a Carl's jr at the next exit he switched lanes and drove a half a mile before exiting . Stopping at a red light before he could make a turn, he thought about how Betty had handled a last minute detail that could have made or broken the deal. He didn't know what he'd do without out her. The light turned green and Daniel never saw the green car that ran a red light coming towards him until it was too late.

The car smashed head on into Daniels car sending it flying it flipped twice before landing upside down in a heap in the street. Daniel opened his eyes but could only keep them open a few seconds before everything went black.
