ONE: McDREAMY

You sure as hell aren't McDreamy.

You're no one's dream guy. Someone's mistake, sure. A forgettable one-night-stand, definitely. Never in your life have you been taken home to meet the girl's parents, pet her dog, make her sister blush furiously. That was the job of someone like Derek.

Someone like him, not a womanizing dog like you.

Thoughts such as these are flooding your brain as you stand beside Meredith Grey. Her sand-coloured hair is swept into a bun, but her hair tie is doing little to keep the delicate strands away from her piercing blue eyes. She shivers in the moonlight. It occurs to you, that under different circumstances, this would have be completely romantic.

Except you are both wearing scratchy blue scrubs and the two of you are waiting for an ambulance to come. Somewhere behind you, are your respective groups of interns. They complained that it was too cold and too late at night to be standing outside waiting for the ambulances, so they opted to wait within Seattle Grace Hospital's heated halls.

Just as Meredith turns towards you, you notice her bitten nails. It is things like these that drive you crazy. "Alex? You okay?"

You offer a reassuring smile and say, "'Course. When's the fricking ambulance coming?"

She laughs.

You sure as hell aren't her McDreamy.
