SN: Hey readers! Some of you might be familiar with another FanFic of mine, Sweet Surrender (Criminal Minds- Check it out!). As well as being a Criminal Minds addict, I have a passion for Grey's as well. I have been dying to write a Grey's based story for a while, and now I will finally be able to do one! So this includes an off cast member and all of the cast is an intern again, so basically, it's season 1 all over again with another intern and it's from the new girl's point of view. Anyways, enjoy the story and check out Sweet Surrender if you are a CM fan like myself! Cheers! –H

-Incision-

It was a brisk winter morning when my alarm went off… At four-fifteen. "Rise and shine, Ash…" I yawned, crawling out of the warm covers and sulking into the bathroom. Today was going to be my first day as an intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. New to the area, I had no friends there or any way of knowing if I would make any. Stumbling my way down to the kitchen, my mother stood at the end of the stairs with a big fat bowl of something that looked absolutely repulsive. Oh, did I mention I lived with my parents? "No time for that, Mom. Seattle Grace needs me!" I exclaimed, rushing to find my bag with my scrubs and ID. "But Ashleigh! You need your protein!" She called after me, but I was long out the door.

I made it to the locker room and rushed into my scrubs, as all the other interns were already in theirs and had SGH coats on. "So, is this the part where we all introduce ourselves?" One of the few asked. I looked around at the selection of them. "Sure, I guess…" I began shakily, not sure if I was speaking out of turn. "I'm Ashleigh Robertson." The other doctors went around and introduced themselves as well. There was Meredith Grey, Cristina Yang, Alex Karev, George O'Malley and Isobel (or Izzie) Stevens.

Before I knew it, a short woman by the name of Dr. Miranda Bailey stepped into the room. No, let's rephrase that. She nearly broke down the door trying to get into the room. "Alrighty, first set of interns are mine. When I call your name, get your ass out that door. Karev, O'Malley, Stevens, Grey and Yang." She called, and they all scrambled out the door. I sighed in relief. "Oh, wait, there's one more. Robertson!" Oh, damn… I thought, rushing out the door along with the others.

"Look, over there! It's an OR!" one of them called out, running for the door. "AH! Not so fast, O'Malley. First things first, rounds for all of you. Now get moving!" Bailey yelled. "Now I know why they call her the Nazi." Alex snickered to Izzie.

For rounds, we were each split into twos, and I was with Alex. "It's Robertson, right?" He asked, before we entered the room. "Please, call me Ashleigh… And you're Alex?" I replied, offering my hand. "Karev! Robertson! We're not here to make friends! Move it!" Bailey screeched, pushing us in the door. "Hi, Mrs. McKinley. My name is Dr. Ashleigh Robertson, and this is Dr. Alex Karev. We're just here to do rounds." I said smoothly, checking her vitals and marking away on her chart. "She's good to go. Let's hit it before Bailey gets on our asses again." Karev whispered, taking me by the arm and escorting me out of the room.

The first day of my internship was running pretty smoothly, and it was about to get even more exciting. "Okay, which one of you would like to scrub in and watch one of Dr. Shepherd's surgeries? He's removing a brain tumor today." Dr. Bailey asked. Hands shot up in the air, but surprisingly, Meredith didn't raise hers. I wondered why and tried to stay as calm as possible. I wanted to go into either neuro or cardio. "Okay… Robertson! Go scrub in, and hurry. Tell Shepherd you're an intern of mine." She shooed me away and I was off to watch my first brain surgery.

"You must be Dr. Robertson. Bailey just paged me to tell me to expect you. You're here to watch me take out a brain tumor?" He asked, shaking my hand. "Please, it's Ashleigh, and yes, I'm ready to learn!" I replied. How corny, I though to myself, punishing my mouth for even saying such a thing. We got started and I watched attentively, taking notes as we went on. I was always one of the nerdy girls, taking notes and such. I lived by 'go hard or go home.' I had to be the best or I would never feel accomplished. "Taking out the tumor now, Ashleigh… Would you like to suction?" he asked as the resident held the suction out to me. "Uh, hell yeah." I said, rushing up and eagerly taking the instrument from the resident's hand.

After a very successful day of surgery, I met up with Alex, Cristina, Meredith, Izzie and George for lunch. "So, how was surgery with Shepherd?" Alex asked in a monotone. Even though he wasn't interested in neuro, I knew all of the interns were waiting to scrub in on their first surgery. "Oh my God, it was awesome! He let me use the suction when he was taking out the tumor! I didn't think I was going to get anywhere near the tools and instruments. "You're so lucky, Ashleigh. I was stuck shadowing today. So far, you're the only one who's gotten a surgery today. Ridiculous." Cristina complained as she stabbed a salad leaf with her fork. "Careful there, Cristina, it might ooze blood." George commented, apparently trying to crack a joke. We all looked at him with strange eyes. "Don't even try, O'Malley, just don't even try." Alex said, rolling his eyes.

All of the sudden, all of our pagers went off. "It's the pit. Damn, just when I thought my day was going well." Meredith sighed as we all retreated from the cafeteria. "Hey, pit time means more surgeries. Good for us, but not for them…" Izzie replied brightly. Once we got down to the pit, Bailey thrust the gowns in our hands and ordered us to put them on. "Looks like we've got something five minutes out…" Alex said, listening for the sirens that blared in the distance. Before we knew it, the ambulance had arrived.

"We've got head trauma, stabilized in the field." The paramedic said, thrusting the gurney out of the vehicle. I wasn't kidding when I said thrusting. "Hey, buster, are you trying to give this woman more trouble?" Meredith demanded as she, Cristina and I caught the gurney before the woman spilled off of it. "Yes," He replied as he pulled a gun from his pocket. "Now, I'm going to need you to take me inside… And after that, I want you to get on the floor. Understand?" The unknown man, who we'd all realized was definitely not a paramedic, followed us inside. "Ashleigh, when we get inside, come with me and sit in the farthest corner, got it?" Alex whispered so that only the two of us could hear. Behind us, George and Izzie pushed the gurney inside and gave it to the waiting residents. As Alex said, the two of us rushed to the corner and sat down behind the curtain.

"What does he want?" I cried, regretting my decision to even come to Seattle Grace in the first place. "Shh… I have no idea, but if we don't shut up, we'll be dead in minutes." He hissed, covering my mouth.

I sat there in Alex's warm arms, paralyzed in fear, waiting for this awful moment to pass. The only thing I could think about was if I never saw my parents again, or my sisters, Avery and Alayna. My family was my world and I always promised them I would be by their side if they needed me. Out of the blue, a gun shot was fired. I tensed and Alex's grip on me tightened. "Shh. He has no idea we're here. Just stay quiet, and we'll be fine." He said as quietly as he could. "You better hope you're right, Karev… I am not dying today." I hissed in reply. "Definitely not what you expected on your first day, huh?" He asked. "Not at all, Alex, not at all." I replied.
