"HELLO GOTHAM CITY. Welcome to my one and only amusement park - THE MIGHTY AND GLORIOUS..."

"And amazing." A shrill girly voice spoke up from the back.

"Thank you Hayley. One and only HAPPY FAIR."

The Joker and Harley were in disguise broadcasting an advert to promote their amusement park. Harley had to burst out laughing at the title of the park but earned glares from her boss making her stop. She had planned with Black Cat the following night on how to get rid of the madman once and for all. She gave out a fake sweet smile to him as he continued with the broadcast.

"Rides, stalls, candy and much more for those little kiddies. So bring the whole family to Happy Fair and remember - keep smiling." He gave the location of the park and then ordered his henchman to turn the camera off.

"I thought that was spectacular presenting. Happy Fair."

"Hmm....could have come up with a more imaginative name." Harley mumbled. Luckily the Joker did not hear her otherwise she would get another beating. Changing the subject she smiled as she noticed a young woman (Felicia in disguise) enter.

"Sorry I am looking for a job." She asked timidly. "My name is Tanya Redding and I work for

The Joker rolled his eyes. "We have enough applicants already."

Harley cut in. "But puddin this gal's got style. I saw her magazine. Ya know, the one with the cats on the front." She winked at Felicia who rolled her eyes playfully.

"Cats?" Joker frowned. "Look fine whatever. You're hired. Now get me a drink." He growled at Harley narrowing his dark eyes as she flinched a little but never saw the glint in her eye. Felicia did not like the way he spoke but trusted that Harley would carry on with killing him.

"Okay Mr J. Be right back." Harley somersaulted over to the back where the kitchen was and started to make Joker a drink adding some poison in. She hummed a little but nearly jumped out of her skin when Felicia appeared behind her.

"You're poisoning him?"

"Shhh....yes kitty. Then we can run the Happy Fair together. Just with a better name that is."

Felicia giggled. "Happy Harley and the Fair Felicia." It was not that funny but Harley burst out laughing. "You're a sweet girl you know."

"I know what it feels like to be treated bad. I only hope you get what you want." Felicia nodded.

Harley smiled. "I want more than the fair." Letting that sink in, she went to approach the Joker with his drink leaving a flattered Felicia in the kitchen.

"Here puddin." She said handing him a glass of white wine. The Joker took it and drank. "That's the good stuff." He cackled.

Felicia came out and looked guilty. It did not help that Harley kept winking at her. Biting her lip, she started to stand in the corner waiting for her next command.

"Now..." The Joker hiccupped. "Tanya is it?" He chuckled starting to feel a little strange. "I give the orders around here so..." his mouth stayed open and his body started to shake and convulse like a dying fish. He looked at Harley who gave a wave and set the drink down.

"What I say goes." She finished for him with a smile.

"You poisoned me you little minx." The Joker spat out. "What did I ever do to you?"

Felicia wanted to intervene but thought it was best to keep silent and let Harley have her moment. A moment she never got to see from her abusive ex but was pleased to see Harley get hers.

"WHAT DIDN'T YOU DO? HIT ME MAYBE. ABUSED ME. CALLED ME NAMES. BULLIED AND CONTROLLED ME FROM START TO FINISH." Harley's blue eyes glared and she smashed the glass with her hand letting the wine spill on the floor. "EVERYTHING I DID WAS FOR YOU BUT I AM NOT PUTTING UP WITH IT ANYMORE. YOU'RE THROUGH. WE'RE THROUGH."

The Joker gasped as Felicia took her disguise off. "Were you in on this?"

"It's over Joker." Felicia said quietly and watched the Joker give his last breath.

Harley sank to the floor seeing his dead body and screamed in pain. Felicia comforted her. "You're free now."
