A NEW BETTY

Betty went home the next day, excited to be in this place that seemed new yet familiar. "Betty, do you want us to get you anything?" Hilda asked.

"No, I'm fine." "So, what am I going to do? Do I go to work today?"

"Uh, Betty maybe you should take today to rest." Her Papi said

Hilda pulled him aside. "Papi, do you remember what the doctor said? He said we have to treat Betty normally. Maybe it would be best if she goes to work today. We could plan her a nice dinner for when she gets back." "Ok, that's not a bad idea. I'm just worried."

"I know." Hilda replied.

"So, Betty, I guess you are going to work today." "Justin, do you want to take her there?"

"Sure mom."

"I should probably change right?"

"Ya, come on. I'll help you AB." Justin said excitedly.

Betty looked in her closet. "These are my clothes?" she asked wonderingly.

"Ya." Justin said. "Hmm...Where are Hilda's clothes?" she asked intently.

"Uh …in her closet? You don't want to wear your clothes AB?" Justin asked rather curiously

"Umm…not really." Betty said sweetly. Justin had a grin come across his face. This was his chance to dress AB, without her going all drama-queen on him.

"Ok. Betty, come on!" Justin said as he grabbed Betty and got her some more fashionable clothes (after all she did work in a fashion magazine, it was only right)

Not too long after, Betty and Justin head down the stairs. "Whoa, Betty." Hilda said loudly. "You look…different."

"Doesn't she look great?" Justin said excitedly. "Ya, she does, Justin. Good job!" she winked. Betty was wearing a black dress with a thick blue belt at the waist. Her hair was neat and flowy. She looked chic.

"Thanks you two. Should we go now?" she asked wondering if they were going to be late.

"Oh my God, ya we better go before we're late." Justin said anxiously grabbing her hand as they walked out the door.

"Bye Mom!"

Betty and Justin arrived at the Meade Publications building. "This is where I work?" she said shocked

"Ya, you're assistant to the Editor-in-Chief at Mode Magazine. Your boss is Daniel."

"Daniel." She said curiously. The name sounded so familiar.

"Come on. Let's go AB." Justin grabbed her hand and they went up to the office.

They got out of the elevator walking past the reception desk. "Hi Amanda" Betty said sweetly as she and Justin walked past. "Hey Be…tty!" Amanda responded with her eyebrows raised surprised to see Betty looking so amazing. Marc was standing next to her. "Was that… Betty?" Marc said approvingly. They both went from the desk and followed behind Betty.

As Betty walked in everyone was watching her. Justin just kept smiling proudly of his masterpiece.

"So, this is your desk AB. Daniel will be here soon to tell you what to do."

"Thanks Justin" Betty said appreciatively.

People were staring at Betty from all areas. Wilhelmina walked over looking for Daniel, noticing he wasn't there. She looked over for a moment at the desk in front of his office, and had to take a double take. "Betty?" Wilhelmina asked flabbergasted.

"Hi!" "Can I help you?" Betty said sweetly.

"uhh…no." Wilhelmina said "…actually, maybe later I will come by and see what you can do, Betty"

"Ok." Betty said cheerily.

Marc and Amanda were standing not too far behind Wilhelmina just staring at Betty with their jaws down.

"Marc! What's the deal with Betty?" Wilhelmina asked with her eyebrow raised, looking at Betty.

"She hit her head yesterday and lost her memory temporarily" Marc said. "Hmm…" Wilhelmina said under her breath her mind trying to cook up a plan. "We can use this Marc"

"Are you sure that's a good idea, Wili?" Marc said concerned about what she had planned.

"We will see Marc. We will see." Wilhelmina said with a wicked grin. Marc just looked over at Betty and then at Wilhelmina saddened by the thought of what she had in mind. Although Marc had his beef with Betty, she was still Betty. No one hurt Betty, at least not seriously.

They all just went to their respective places. Except Amanda came over to Betty, "Hey Betty, do you need any help getting started?"

"Uh…hey Amanda, ya, I guess I don't really know what needs to be done now." Betty said with a half-smile.

"Well, for now you can sit here and take messages for Daniel if anyone calls. Lunch is at 12; you can go with me. Then there is a features meeting in the conference room, around 1:30. And I don't know after that."

"wow, thanks"

"I could help you out throughout the day." Amanda said friendly. Amanda felt like she should help her friend after all of what Marc and Amanda put her through and all the nice things she did for her.

"Thank you, Amanda. That's really nice of you!" Betty said appreciatively.

"Where is Daniel?" Amanda mumbled to herself. "I could keep you company until he comes"

"Don't you have other obligations, Amanda? I appreciate you trying to help me, but I don't want you to get in trouble because of me."

"It's fine, Betty. I never give people their messages all that much anyways." She chuckled
