Summary: Rachel is a new intern at Mode. She obviously has issues with her body image and overall confidence, will Betty be able to help her?





	Ugly Betty and Rachel

_Betty comes out of a cubicle at Mode and hears loud coughing followed by sobbing. __She walks towards the door, hesitates and walks to the sobbing. She clears her throat and knocks on the cubicle door_

Betty: Are you okay?

Rachel: Erm yes, I'm fine.

_A short silence_

Betty: You don't sound too fine.

Rachel: I'm okay.

_Cubicle door opens and a very pale, gaunt looking girl with black mascara stains sliding down her cheek, steps out to the wash basin. She stares at herself in the mirror._

Rachel: Oh I'm such a mess.

_Betty digs into her small, rather unfashionable black __Mickey Mouse handbag._

Betty: Here, make-up wipes. Ever since I was forced to take part in a photo shoot from hell I carry make-up wipes with me.

_Betty hands Rachel the make-up wipe, who looks at Betty __gratefully._

Rachel: Thank you so much. You're Betty Suarez right? Daniel Meade's new assistant?

Betty: Yep, that's me.

Rachel: I'm Rachel.

Betty: The new intern?

Rachel: Yes

Betty: I haven't seen you around much.

Rachel: I hide in here a lot.

Betty: You don't like working for Mode?

Rachel: I do. Its just I can't deal with the pressure.

Betty: Are people bothering you? Really if they are, tell me and I'll sort them out. They're heartless; you have to learn to ignore them. I wouldn't imagine they pick on someone like you though, you're very Mode. I would have thought you were a model.

Rachel: Oh no. I'm too fat to be a model. I'm too fat to work here even. I'm surrounded by six feet tall, beautifully thin girls. I really want to work here and do well but at the same time my confidence dissappears every time I see that creative director and her Chanel suits or another group of models. How do you do it?

Betty: You just have to see past it. There's more to Mode then the front covers you know.

Rachel: I wish I could, and still I find myself in this cubicle trying to puke lunch.

Betty: Oh no, you shouldn't do that.

_Rachel starts to sob_

Rachel: I know, I know.

Betty: Hey, let me introduce you to some of my friends here. They're great, you'll love them and none of them own a Chanel suit.

Rachel: Ok

Betty: Let's get out of here.

Rachel: Thanks Betty.

_The girls walk out of the bathroom._
