Not that I'm saying the outcome is predictable but ...

A guy and a girl whose respective boyfriend/girlfriend have dumped them and taken up with each other, plot together to break them up so they can each get them back. Could there be the possibility that along the way, they could end up falling for each other instead? Well do you think?
