I don't own any of the characters that appear in this fic.

Thank you loads for your reviews so far!

At the mention of the word 'revenge' Christina simply laughed, thinking that Daniel was joking to cheer her up. The look on his face when she did so made her realise he was serious.

'Revenge? Against Wilhelmina? Seriously Daniel, but I think you may have lost the plot a little! I mean…'

'Just think about it,' Daniel interrupted, 'All the times she's put you down, criticised your work…'

'Hippy Hideous,' Christina sighed, remembering Wilhelmina's response to her last submission for Mode's 'Top Ten Designers to Watch.'

'Sorry?' Daniel looked puzzled.

'Nothing.' Christina felt her cheeks flush red. She hadn't meant to say that out loud.

'Anyway,' Daniel continued, 'it wouldn't just be for you and me. We'd be doing this for all the people Wilhelmina's hurt in the past. All the people she's trodden on in her attempt to climb to the top. There'd be a line of people all around this block queuing to congratulate us!'

Christina got up off the floor and began to tidy the mess that had been made in the closet as a result of her and Mark's dress designing session earlier that day. She was trying to process everything that Daniel had said to her. The idea of revenge sounded so silly and childish, and yet somehow so appealing.

'So what exactly did you have in mind?' She asked Daniel after several moments contemplation.

'Does this mean you're in?'

'Maybe.'

'Well, here's what I was thinking…'

Christina listened intently as Daniel explained his plan. She was impressed; Daniel was cleverer than she, or anyone else, had given him credit for.

The following morning when she came into work, Christina tried to act normal, as if nothing was going on, but Betty spotted something odd about her friend's behaviour straight away.

'What are you so happy about?' She asked after noticing how smiley Christina seemed that morning.

'Nothing,' Christina answered simply. She wanted to tell Betty what she had planned with Daniel, but she couldn't risk it. Betty was trustworthy enough and Christina knew that, but the more people that knew, the more complicated things would become.

'Christina? Come on, tell me!' Betty had shared all of her secrets with Christina, and didn't like to think that she was being left out of something.

'You'll know soon enough.' Christina refused to say anything else to Betty. She caught Daniel's gaze through his office window and smiled at him. He smiled back and winked at her. Christina was completely oblivious to the fact that Betty had witnessed this, and had come to a very wrong conclusion…

Sorry about the shortness (again!). Please review if you want to find out exactly what Daniel's plan is, and whether it will work out or just cause trouble!

Oh and by the way, the whole Betty thinking something's going on between Daniel and Christina is more of a sub-plot, just to keep things interesting!
