A/N: OMG someone HAS to stop me! I can't stop making fics!!! Lol…but this one takes place about 2 weeks after the finale. Conner Finnegan takes the place of Burke and Derek and him become really great friends. Alex, Mark, Izzie, George, and Cristina are in this fic. merder, and merconner…or however you say that! Haha. PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
Conner, the new cardio attending, ran up to Derek and put his arm around his shoulder.
"Dude, I love this hospital…chicks are EVERYWHERE!"
Derek didn't hear a word Conner was saying, he was too occupied with staring at Meredith. He wondered whether she was moving on. Conner noticed.
"Derek, I know, that babe is the number one on my list!"
Derek quickly turned around and faced Conner. "What?"
"That one right there." He pointed right at Meredith. "She's like…wow! The second on my list is Stevens, she has the biggest…"
Derek cut him off. "Wait? You like Meredith?!"
Conner gave him a confused look. "Like? Dude, we're not in grade school…but yeah, she seems hot. Why are you going to ask her out?"
Derek quickly shook his head. "No…why?"
"Cause if you're not…then I will!"
Derek stiffened. He really got to know Conner since Burke left, and he was a great guy! He probably was his best friend. But him and Meredith? Could he handle that?
"Don't…" Derek started to walk away. Conner caught up with him.
"Woooo. Dude, don't? Why not?"
"Cause…" He searched his mind for excuses. "It's against the rules!"
"Like anyone follows these rules anymore!"
"But…"
"Derek, come on, we're best buds, right?"
"Uh…right."
"Good. Then please…let me go on one date with her!" Conner pursed his lips out, and tried to make the puppy dog face. Derek laughed.
"You look stoned."
Conner rolled his gorgeous green eyes and shook out his dirty blonde hair. "Come on…PLEASE!!!"
Derek sighed then paused. This was big. What if Conner and Meredith actually FELL IN LOVE?! He would never be able to handle that! But then again, she DID break up with him. Maybe it was time to let her go. Maybe it was time that he moved on. He looked at Conner then slowly nodded his head.
:"FINE! You can ask…" He swallowed hard, "Meredith…on a date."
Conner punched his fist in the air. "Yes, thank you dude!"
Derek nodded then ran his finger through his hair.
"Okay, Shep, I'm gonna ask her now…watch the master of flirting at work!" He rubbed his hands together and tapped Meredith on the shoulder.
She turned around. "Yes?"
"Hi." He held out his hand. "Conner Finnegan, the new cardio attending, I just wanted to tell you that you look amazing."
Meredith giggled. "I do? Well, these srubs do show off my hips."
A large, perfect smile spread across Conner's face. "Well…how about we get you into a slick, black cocktail dress to show off more of your features?"
She raised an eye brow. "Are you hitting on me?"
"Possibly…"
She let out a small smile. "Sorry…not dating."
"Really?"
"Surprise you?"
"Yes…but it's your loss. I mean I'm perfect. I'm hot, charming, funny, rich, nice, sweet, kind…"
She grinned. "AND conceited…"
He smiled flirtatiously. "That hurt."
Meredith hesitated. Should she go out with him. Sure, he was drop dead gorgeous…but still, she wasn't completely over Derek. Then again, she should rip the stitches. "Fine…I'll go out with you."
Conner mouthed: YES! "Thank you, thank you…pick you up at 8?"
"Sure…"
Conner ran out of the nurse's station and nearly tackled Derek. "Shep…you are NEVER gonna believe this!"
"You're gonna dye your hair?"
"NO! Of course not!" He touched his hair. "Why, are my roots showing?"
Derek raised his eye brows.
"KIDDING! But on a serious note…she said YES!"
"Meredith?"
"Yep! Isn't that great!?"
A pain struck through Derek's body. "Yeah…really, really great."
