"Mode Musical"

Disclaimer: I own nothing, apart from the story itself. Ugly Betty characters etc, not mine.

Betty rushed into the Mode fashion headquarters, carrying a pile of messages. "Sorry I'm late, Daniel, I – Oh!" She tripped over a stray stiletto, and the papers scattered like birds. She could hear someone calling her name, but the world went dark…

"Betty? Betty, are you ok?" Daniel poked his unconscious assistant.

She sat up. "I…I think so." She rubbed a sore spot.

"Ok, let's get going then. There's a lot of work." He walked into his office, and out of nowhere, a jaunty tune struck up behind him. Betty followed him bemusedly, and to her confusion he began to sing in a smooth voice;

Come right on in, Betty

By all means take a seat

Things are really hectic

And Versace's bugging me

Those freakin' Puerto Ricans just won't leave me alone-

"Aren't they Italian?"

There's so much going on at Mode!

Then, acting as if this was perfectly normal, he continued "Could you take this message down to Christina? Thanks." Confused, Betty took the note, and went downstairs. Then, to her horror, she found Christina was singing too, and the rest of the department were doing a tap dance.

No, that dress should have the other hem -

Hello Betty! Good, you came

That evil Wilhelmina

Has been driving me insane

Thank you for the message - Could you take this heavy load?

Give it to Wilhelmina

There's so much going on at Mode!

Betty took the clothes from her Scottish friend, dumbstruck. She made her way up to Wilhelmina's office, praying that she hadn't been affected by this musical madness too. No, she had.

Oh, hello Miss Suarez

These are thirty minutes late

Tell your friend Christina

She's in for a worser fate

And tell Daniel Mead - (That disgusting little toad)

If he doesn't get his act together

He won't have a job at Mode!

Although Betty had heard Wilhelmina's sung insult under her breath, that was the least of her worries. She shut the door behind her, and then, found her colleagues circling round her while she sang

What the hell is happening at Mode?!
