Title: Famous Words Set The Scene

Intro: Set after the end of season 2. Addison and Derek are divorced, Meredith did not choose Derek or Finn.

Note: I'm focusing the storyline of this fan-fic around the lyrics to some random songs. Worth a try right?

Chapter 1.

Wake up in the morning with a head like 'what ya' done?'

This used to be the life but i don't need another one - (Don't feel like dancing (Scissor Sisters))

Meredith woke up early, she couldn't sleep due to someone's excessive snoring. She rolled over and nudged the man in her bed, who turned out to be the one and only Mark Sloane. ''Oh God, what have I done?'' Mark continued to sleep, his snores gradually getting louder. Meredith threw on her robe and walked downstairs, into the kitchen where Izzie was making pancakes.

''No sleep again?'' Izzie asked as she watched Meredith yawn. ''That McDreamy sure knows how to keep you going!''

''It wasn't Derek.''

''Finn can amke all that noise? What a man!'' Izzy said, smiling excitedly.

''It's not Finn either.''

''Then who was it?''

''Nobo-''

''Mark.'' George answered, walking into the kitchen. ''I just saw him leave the bathroom.'' Both George and Izzy gave Meredith disgusted looks.

''What? I'm not allowed a sex life?'' She asked them, shruggin her shoulders.

''No. Not when its with our bosses, or if going to keep us awake all night too.''

''You know, i used to enjoy this kind of thing; going out, getting laid, winding you two up, but know i would kill to wake up without a man for once.''

Meredith, George and Izzy turned their heads to face the front door, which closed with an effort of descression, clearly not working well, as the wind of Seattle pulled the door from Mark's grip, closing it with force.

''Seriously?'' Meredith turned to face George and Izzy, who were desperatley trying to cover their laughter ''Seriously!''

If it's wrong to tell the truth
What am I supposed to do
All I want to do is speak my mind - (Guilty (Blue))

Meredith got to work hoping that she would be able to forget about what happened last night, but as always, Karma decided to take a visit her way, and she was assigned to Dr. Sloane. Just her luck. Mark had a surgery she could scrub into, an accident involving a young man and rather large pitbull named Frodo.

''Ah, Dr. Grey.'' He said, as she checked the young man's file. ''Mr. Wyatt does not need you at the moment, nor does he need me, so why don't why go and grab a cup of coffee and discuss, lets say, dinner reservations?''

''I don't think so, Dr. Sloane. I already have plans for tonight.I'm baking muffins.''

''You don't cook!''

''And you don't date one-night stands.'' She informed him. He lightly pulled her into an empty room, ''Is that what you think that was a one-night stand?''

''What would you call it then?''

''Ah, alright, you've got me there'' He replied, scratching the back of his neck. ''But it doesn't have to end there. I mean we could-''

''Mark, as much as i would love to, i can't. I've had enough of dating my bosses, dating my vet, well he's not my vet anymore, because my dog died, and he wasnt my vet, he was Doc's vet-''

''Meredith, you're rambling.''

''I know. But my point is; I've had enough of dating. At least i have for now, and i'm trying to tell you the truth so i don't hurt your feelings, but the look on your face tells me i have already so- wait, were you actually serious?''

''Look, we've both had a rough time with the whole 'dating' thing, you and Derek, Me and Addison, you and McVet, so i just thought it me and you, the slutty mistresses could go out, you know. For dinner, as friends?''

Meredith sighed, but looked at Mark, who seemed to look different; more human, vulnerable. God Grey, what did you do to him? She thought to herself. ''Okay. One dinner. Just friends.'' The pair shook hands, and went to grab their coffee.

Well what did you think about that? I'm not entirely sure where this is going, but i do know how it's going to end. I quite like the MerMark scenerio, makes a change from the other McDudes in her life...R&R please!!
