I do not own DWP I have just borrowed them for inspiration.

I just want to thanks tose of you who have left comments. It is nice knowing other like my story.

Miranda was sitting in the meeting room with Nigel, Emily, Patricia, and Alexandra. Miranda looked around over the top of her glasses. "There is a reason Nigel and I requested the three of you here."

The three girls looked at each other. Patricia and Alexandra were trembling.

"After the acclaim Runway received from the teen issue we have decided to branch out and create a new magazine called Teen Runway. Now there is no way one group can produce two magazines." Miranda continued to look around. "It will be hard for a few months but if the magazine takes off there will be a budget to hire more people and take over a floor in Elias-Clarke." The three young women looked at each other again.

"What does all this have to do with us?" Emily inquired.

Miranda grinned. "I am glad you asked that Emily. We have decide on who to place in the top four positions for teen Runway and would like your input."

Emily glared. Nigel laughed, "Oh my. A Miranda minion all right."

Miranda continued, "Emily you will take over as Editor in Chief for Teen Runway. Patricia, head of the Art Department. Alexandra you will be thee designer until the magazine is able to attract additional ones. At the end of the year an Alina Favre will be coming from Switzerland she will be head of the Writing Department."

The room was silent. The three women were stunned, speechless. Miranda looked around stopping at Nigel. "I see there is no comments so we will go with that. Nigel get things started and let me know what you come up with." Miranda got up and walked out.

The three girls looked at each other than Nigel. "So, what are your thoughts?" Nigel looked around. "Did Miranda make the wrong choices?"

"No, no," exclaimed Alexandra.

"Emily what are your ideas for the first issue and when should we put it out?" Nigel was all business even though he was laughing inside.

"Nigel!"

"Yes Emily."

"Are you serious? Is – is she serious?"

"Have you ever known her not to be? Patricia you will need to get some teen models together. Alexandra I hope you have some pieces ready. You have no offices yet so you will have to find places to meet. If you have any questions just call me." Nigel got up and walked out.

As he entered the Inner Lair Miranda looked up over her glasses. "Have they learned to talk yet?"

"Miranda." Nigel sat laughing, "No."

Miranda smiled, "The first issue needs to be ready to go in January."

"It will be." he reassured his boss.

Miranda looked at Nigel again, "I have an Art Director for you to train."

Nigel looked up and arched an eyebrow.

"John." The first assistant ran in. "Call HR you need to find a replacement for yourself." John stalled. Miranda looked up and flipped her hands, "That's all." John teetered, turned and walked out.

"And the Dragon Lady returns." Nigel got up to leave. Miranda stared. Nigel passed John and mumbled, "It is all for the best." John just stared he was devastated.

Patricia looked at Emily, "What just happened in here?"

"I believe we are going to put our own magazine together," Alexandra announced. "I have some great pieces I would love to run in the first issue. We should ask Stella for some of her pieces too." Emily and Patricia stared at her. "What? We need to get started. Don't you think Miranda will want to run with this the first of the year?"

"We need someone, a name, a teen star to be the cover," added Emily.

"I know the perfect person for Alexandra's line," Patricia exclaimed, "Dakota Fanning. Abigail Breslin would look great in Stella or even Vivian Westwood. The two of them on the cover would be mind-blowing."

The meeting went on for hours.

Runway was notified by HBO that the documentary was superb and they had decided to release it in theaters before being put on TV. They requested an interview with Miranda, Nigel, and Emily. The crew would be at Runway the next day, as they wanted to release the documentary at Christmas time. With this information Miranda decide to release the Singers Special Issue mid-December.

Miranda called Corinne into the office. "Notify Nigel I want the mockup of the special issue."

Corinne nodded, "Yes Miranda." She turned and left.

"John."

John stood up and went to Miranda, "Yes Miranda."

Miranda was standing in front of the window. "Have you found your replacement?"

John was quiet, "Yes Miranda."

"Good, once you have them trained remind HR to have all your information transferred to the Art Department."

"Yes Miranda." John turned, than stopped. He turned. "Excuse me."

Miranda glared at him. "We have to put you somewhere, I can not have two first assistances. Since the job will be a promotion I would assume there is a pay increase for head of the Art Department and I would not want you earning below your title."

"Uhm … yes. I mean no. I ..." John left and sat down at his desk. He looked in Miranda's direction once. "Holy shit," he mumbled to himself. Miranda smirked.

The interviews took place on the stage at Carnegie Hall. Emily was so nervous. Serena had to practically chase her down to get her make-up and hair done.

Miranda had to smile, this was going to be a good first interview for Emily. Questions were posted to all three regarding how the idea started and how they were able to get such diverse musicians and singers on the same stage.

Nigel had no problem explaining how eager people were to work for Miranda. Just to mention her name people would commit without ask how or why.

They asked how the trio felt about proceeds going to the Harlem Music program. Miranda had a multitude of reasons for this. She discussed the role music played in achieving the perfect photo shoot, how it relaxed the models and how the different genres would set the tone and mood of the shoots.

Miranda explained how much influence music played in her daughter's lives and how proud she was when they played the piano at her wedding. She glowed as she talked about them playing along side Billy Joel. It had been a dream come true.

Nigel added in that one of the charities the wedding sponsored was music for underprivileged children and that their own Emily sang beautifully at Miranda's wedding. Emily was blushing when the interviewer for HBO requested a song. Miranda and Nigel sat grinning at the horrified Emily.

"Oh no I couldn't." Emily was shaking.

"Please, Emily you have such a beautiful voice you should let everyone hear it." Nigel egged on.

Emily glared, then she thought for a few minutes then smiled:

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

When You Say Nothing at All

Don Schlitz

Paul Overstreet

Miranda and Nigel were both amazed, the interviewer applauded along with the camera crew. Emily was blushing profusely.

"Well, Emily after that performance I bet if you decided to leave the fashion industry there would be plenty of music producers ready to sign you up." Came the announcer.

Miranda coughed and glared, "I do not think that will be happening."

Emily whipped her head around. Nigel laughed, "It is true Emily you are too precious to lose." Emily almost fell off the chair.

Runway was working overtime. It was not an easy job putting out a special edition along with monthly issues.

They also had to prepare for the release of the documentary. Gowns and suits had to be chosen for the red carpet.

It was going to be a busy year indeed. Miranda was leaving for work early and coming home very late for the last two weeks. She barely saw the girls and the only time she saw Andréa was in bed at night. She had not had time to talk with Andréa barely time to text her with little love notes during the day. She did not know if Andréa had taken a pregnancy test and if she had done it, did it turn out negative and Andréa had just been waiting to tell her. Miranda sat at her desk with her eyes closed rubbing her temples. She did not know how Andréa would take another disappointment. No matter what Miranda would be there for her and support her with any decision she made regarding future attempts to conceive. Miranda knew they could handle it.

Just then a cup of coffee was sat down in front of her. Standing in front of her was Corinne. "I – I figured you could use a new cup." She took the old cup, turned and left.
