Rough Waters Ahead
This is taken from the promo that had Michael Phelps becoming a doctor on the world's greatest show
Chapter 1: McSwimmy
Meredith stood in her sea of candles. She was getting impatient. Derek had disappeared over an hour ago. One by one, the candles were trickling out. Meredith sighed, and trudged back to her car. He wasn't coming. She banged her head on the steering wheel and headed for home.
Derek had meanwhile been running through the hospital tracking down Rose. He managed to find her by the OR board. "Rose!" She turned and gave a smile that immediately fell at the expression on his face.
"You chose her." Derrick just nodded. "Derek, I wish this could be easy, but I'm afraid things are a little complicated."
"How so?"
"I'm pregnant." His face fell, and she let out a laugh. "Just kidding. Now, go be with your girl." And he was gone. Rose smiled sadly and turned to the board.

The next morning Bailey was filling out charts when Sloan walked up. "Have you heard of a Dr. Phelps?"
"Why are you asking me a stupid question?"
"The Chief told me to meet a Dr. Phelps and show him around. The only problem is I have no idea who he is."
Just then, the door swung open. A man wearing nothing but a blue Speedo and Olympic medals around his neck walked in. Bailey mouthed wow and just nudged Sloan. "I think that might be him." She hurried away, never diverting her eyes from the new doctor.

Meredith and the residents were eating lunch when George ran in. "You're never going to believe who's here!" They all just stared at them. "Michael Phelps!" He was met with empty stares. "The famous swimmer!"
Alex's hand shot up. "I dibs him."
"No he's not here as a patient. Didn't any of you hear about how he became a doctor after retiring from swimming? Sloan's showing him around." The group all turned to see Lexie run up.
"Did you guys see the new doctor?!"
"Yeah. O'Malley just told us. Michael Phelps."
"No there's another one. The new neo-natal surgeon. Dr. Sarah Anderson."

Yang stepped into the OR after a page to find a man on the table with his chest open. She walked over to the doctor working with the heart. "I was paged?"
"Yes, Yang. But not by me," Erica answered. She gestured to a man working down by his feet. "Dr. Phelps needs your assistance with his amputation. Guy had a heart attack while driving on the interstate." Yang walked down to him.
"You paged?"
"You must be my intern." He extended his hand. "Dr. Phelps." Christina ignored this and he turned back to his work. "And you are…"
"Dr. Yang."
"Yang, that's a pretty name. I got back from China a few years ago, won eight gold medals swimming."
"I'm Korean."
"Oh." He finished his work and turned to her. "Pretty nice, ay?"
"If you like that sort of thing," she rebuffed. He was starting to get on her nerves. She wanted to be over there working on that open heart. This was going to be fun.

Meredith walked past Derek on the way to the OR for Sloan when he stopped her. "Listen, I'm-"
"No. You didn't show up."
"I searched the whole hospital for Rose and then they needed me for a trauma. I'm sorry." He looked at her. "I'll make it up to you."
Her pager went off. "We'll see. I have to go." She took off and he sighed before she turned and shouted at him. "I'll meet you after work."

Sloan walked to wash his hands when he saw an unfamiliar doctor putting her mask on. She had a short bob of curly brunette hair and blue eyes. Yes, he'd never seen her before.
"You must be Dr. Sloan." She held out her hand, and he shook it enthusiastically. She seemed to be full of energy and just bounce from place to place. "Dr. Sarah Anderson. I'm the new head of Neo-natal. It seems your burn victim is in her first trimester. I'm here to make sure everything goes alright."
Sloan looked at her. Callie had dumped him for Erica, and he had officially sworn off nurses. She might be the perfect girl. "I've heard. You're quite magnificent." She turned slightly red and that settled it. She would be way too easy.
"Well, let's go." He watched her as she walked out. Not a bad back-side either. He'd take her out from some drinks tonight.

The Chief was ecstatic. He had filled the position Addison had left with one of the new up and comers in her field and was drawing up papers to sign up THE Michael Phelps. That would certainly draw some attention to his hospital.
"Dr. Phelps, I'm glad to hear you're going to stay with us."
"Yes, a few things about this hospital caught my attention. You're hospital will be lucky to have me here." He signed the papers without looking them over and headed for the door. "And sorry about my dress this morning."
The Chief smiled. This was going to be a good. Now he had to make sure George got his intern exam so he could re-take it.
I had to jump around a bit to get everyone's stories up and introduce the new doctors. I really hope that you'll like it.
