My Fork In The Road
Synopsis
Molly Clock is participating in another experimental program, where she has one session with each doctor and intern to evaluate Sacred Heart's staff. This time she's bringing along an intern of her own, Layla Evans, who gets caught up in the busy life and drama of Sacred Heart's offbeat doctors. Amidst this program Turk tires of hearing about JD's crappy love-life so he takes it upon himself to fix it for JD, which actually causes JD to get caught up in many women at once.

Chapter 1
The sun shined divinely on Sacred Heart one spring morning. It was a few minutes our shift started. The preceding weeks, I had taken it upon myself to switch around shifts so Turk and I could have some quality time. As we passed the Nurse's Station, there was chatter about some mystery person switching shifts on everyone. Carla eyed me playfully as Turk and I headed for the changing rooms. She grabbed my sleeve with curious force and pulled me to the counter. She smiled in a sarcastic fashion.
"I know it was you, Bambi." She said knowingly, but she doesn't faze me, I have Turk on my side.
"Carla it's just an innocent prank." I reasoned with her. I looked over her shoulder to find Laverne staring intently. It always bothered me that Laverne, a God-fearing woman, ran the hospital's gossip mill.
"Laverne, we're talking." That came out pretty nicely; I added just the right amount brashness. I took out my voice-recorder and noted that. Carla rolled her eyes at the fact I had a voice recorder, but she didn't understand it.
"Bambi, lose the voice-recorder, its stupid." She said waving her finger at me, eying my recorder.
"Note to self, do not leave this thing unattended around the Nurse's Station." I said as-a-matter-of-factly.
"God, JD, that thing makes you, and those around you look stupid! Please get rid of it." She pointed to herself and then she reached with her cat-like reflexes to steal the recorder away from me. Suddenly, Turk rounded the corner and saw Carla trying to steal from me. I ran to Turk.
"Turk! She's like some sort of Devil Woman! She was trying to steal my voice recorder!" I screamed. Turk then reached into his pocket and pulled out his voice recorder, he pushed the play button.
"Baby, come on!" it repeated back to Carla. She let out a huge sigh and stomped.
"Turk, not you too…" she whimpered as I went to go to the changing station, finally. Turk smiled and did a dance to Carla.
"Baby, this is just me and JD's thing right now, okay? Plus, we're having some alone time tonight. You don't have to worry about JD." He said smoothly. Carla's eyed brightened.
"Really!? But how did you let him off easy?" Carla asked half-smiling. She bent down over the countertops and edged closer to Turk's face. Turk turned his head slightly, and flashbacked to the other night.
Me and JD were playing Frisbee Golf, we were just about to make a score, when you called, Sweetness. You mentioned that you were stressed out about Elliot and her intense freak-outs lately. So when I spotted a shaved ice stand, I happened to see a gorgeous woman running that stand. She doesn't hold a candle to you, Baby. Anyway, I knew that JD had a passion for shaved ice, so I asked the woman to do me a little favor. I got her to go on a date with JD, so you and I can relax together.
Carla stood there not even knowing what to think. She decided not to read too much into that story and smiled, and then kissed him.
"Thank you, Baby." And just then Kelso rounded the corner to gather everyone at the Nurse's Station. He whipped around to see what Turk and Carla were doing.
"Turkleton, please stop trying to make babies with Nurse Turkleton at the Nurse's Station, its gross." He then faced the crowd he gathered with a half-hearted smile, he waited for everybody to get to the front. JD appeared behind Turk.
"What's going on Chocolate Bear?" he said leaning on the counter. Turk leaned over away from Carla.
"Kelso's got some sort of announcement to make…I think a Brother's gonna have to set him straight though." JD nodded and seemed to understand what Turk was going on about.
"Aw, did Kelso make a big deal about you kissing Carla, again?" he replied with a smile.
"Yeah, I mean it's just a peck, no big deal." Turk said shaking his head. Then both Turk and JD noticed that Molly Clock was back, and with another girl. Whale pods traveling over the Earth could hear Elliot's squeaks and screeches, and she could be seen making her way through the crowd to pounce on Dr. Clock. Kelso stopped Elliot as she almost made it to Molly.
"Dr. Reid, as long as you're in my hospital you will not act like you're hopped up on drugs! So, stop acting like a cartoon and act professional!" and with that he walked away with his hands secured behind his back. Elliot got back to her usual demeanor, and hugged Molly. She peered over Molly's shoulder and saw a slightly younger girl who stared at the crowd that had formed around her and Molly Clock. Molly let go of Elliot and faced everyone else.
"Hey everyone, as you can see, I've made my way back to Sacred Heart," and she pulled out her hand with the two middle fingers closed, and waved it around, " I'm going to be assessing some of the doctor's and interns here, as an experimental program. Oh, and this is my protégé, Layla Evans. She's an intern like the rest, so please welcome her!" She wrapped her arm around Layla's shoulders and pulled her closer. Elliot offered her hand to Layla, and they shook hands.
"Oh, this may seem scary at first but then you'll love it." Elliot shook her hand as she took a sip of coffee. Molly smiled and then let go of Layla.
"So, yeah I'm gonna give her the Grande Tour of Scared Heart, now! Lunch?" She smiled and Layla drifted behind Molly Clock.
"I know I'd be scared of their insanity, too. Run while you can!" Dr. Cox snuck up behind Layla and whispered in her ear. She turned around to see his stone-face demeanor staring back at her. She shifted her eyebrows in confusion. He started laughing and walked off. Elliot glared at Cox and Molly still smiled and flashed the "Rock" hand symbol.
"I'll be seeing more of you later Perry!" she said referencing to a session set up with him for the experimental program. He grimaced and disappeared in another room. Molly went back to focusing on making lunch plans with Elliot.
"So, are we meeting for lunch?" She asked again. Elliot puffed air at her bangs to move them out of her eyes and she smiled.
"Of course! We have so much to fill in!" she squeaked and took another sip of coffee while staring at Molly.
"Great! I'll see you at lunch then." She said and walked away. Layla began to follow.
"You're pretty quiet aren't you?" she asked as Layla met her speed. She brushed her bangs behind her left ear and looked at Dr. Clock.
"Well yeah, I have a thing with crowds….and stone-faced, old men. I lose words." Layla lightly giggled to herself. Molly giggled along with her.
"Well you'll get used to it. You just met Ol' Dr. Cox. Don't be afraid of him." As they walked up the hospital corridor, Dr. Cox came out of the same room he went in a while earlier.
"What do you want?" he walked along, looking at her out of the side of his eye.
"Well you didn't exactly introduce yourself to Layla." She pointed, still with a smile. Cox sighed, stopped, and turned to face the both of them.
"Look, I really would NOT like to join the party of the world's most useless people. Now I'm sure its fun to tell people what they already know about themselves, but I actually solve real problems. We've been through this." He said as he put his hands in his pockets.
"Great maybe we can invite everyone from the psych ward." She said laughing. He huffed and walked off to find JD.
As Dr. Cox hounded me about getting blood cultures for Room 201, I saw Molly and her protégé walking away. I assumed that they had a run-in with Dr. Cox. If I didn't have a date tonight, I would try and coax Molly to come home with me, but no one said that harmless flirting was against the rules.
"Vanessa, what did I tell you about judging other's outfits? You look just as stunning as anyone else in blue scrubs." He said catching my stare at Molly as she walked into another corridor of the hospital.
"Well, I'm going to get a blood sample from 201, and I'll have that report for you." I said as he dug through her charts. He stared at me and handed it back, and walked off to check on other patients. I ran off to catch up with Molly. For some reason I couldn't stop thinking about her, maybe it was that fling we had a while back, who knows, but I want to see her again.
