It continues where episode 18 left of.

Chapter 1: Tomorrow is Today.

VO: We all hope sometimes that it's tomorrow already. Just to get past the horrible day you just had. And you lie down in bed at night wishing tomorrow would be better. And tomorrow you would finally have the answers of all the burning questions.

Meredith just walked upstairs as she bumped into Izzie.

VO: I, have that a lot!

"Meredith, are you okay?" Izzie asks concerned after hearing her conversation with Derek.

"I'm fine"

"No you're not. Want to watch a movie?"

She hesitated and finally turned around and put the I'm-fake-happy-smile on

"What did you have in mind" She asked suspiciously happy.

They started walking to the living room.

"I think this is a chick-flick moment, don't you think?" Izzie said almost exploding from happiness because her friend would finally commit she was miserable.

"I guess it is!"

They were just about to start the movie when someone knocked on the door.

"Who could that be, it's like 2 AM."

"I'm not getting up" Meredith added.

"I'll get it then" Izzie said almost drowning in her happiness. "Maybe this person DOES want to taste my cupcakes." She said a little whining.

"I'm just not hungry" she yelled to Izzie with her mouth full of popcorn.

Izzie opened the door

"That took you long enough"

"Hello, Christina." Izzie said while opening the door more for Christina to enter.

"Where's Meredith, I came to check on her" Christina said impatiently as she walked in the house.

"I'm right here, and I don't need to be checked on!" Meredith yelled to Christina after overhearing their conversation.

Christina walks to Meredith

"Oh, okay. Then I'm here to do what you're doing. What are you doing?"

"Movie." Meredith said while watching the TV.

"Good." Christina said while sitting on the couch. "Oeh, chick flick"

"Christina, why are you really here." Izzie said annoyed. She had here arms crossed and ticked with her foot on the floor. "Answer!" She was thinking how Christina ruined her make-a-friend-feel-better mission by showing up.

Christina looked annoyed. "I'm here to see this very good movie."

"Christina. Seriously? You think I'm falling for that?" Izzie said even more annoyed.

"Okay" She looked at Meredith. Meredith raised an eyebrow.

"Okay…what?" Meredith asked while looking at Christina's face.

"I'm avoiding Burke, Again!"

"That's all" Izzie said. "And I put my harsh self on, for that?" She started to walk to the couch again.

"He asked me to marry him." Christina said while walking to the kitchen to get some liquor.

"oh" Meredith said while thinking. "OH" She walked towards Christina. "You didn't say yes."

"I said nothing! I just ran away." She said while looking through the kitchen. "Meredith, where's your liquor?"

"There" she pointed to a cupboard next to the fridge. Christina opened the cupboard and picked up a half empty bottle of tequila.

"This is all" She said, pointing to the half empty bottle.

"You know what I do when I have problems." She started walking to Izzie who was already watching the movie. "Well, I have a lot of problems."

Christina just drank from the bottle.

"So, do you want to say yes?" Meredith asked interested. She was happy somebody had even a bigger problem then she had.

"Yeah, no, I don't know, maybe?" Christina said. She wanted to add something but Izzie interrupted her.

"SShh, this part is good" Izzie interrupted.

Christina and Meredith raised their eyebrows. Izzie saw them.

"What, Okay, I like chick flick movies. So what?"

"I'm going to bed." Meredith yawned. "Got to get up early tomorrow."

"No you don't" Izzie said. "You aren't allowed to work for a week, Meredith. Remember what the chief said"

"But what can I do the whole day?" Meredith complained.

"I don't know maybe...Uuhh…relax?" Izzie said sarcastic.

"Leave the sarcasm to me, would you Iz and Mere, at least stay home tomorrow. I can get you in the hospital the day after, okay." Christina added.

Izzie and Meredith looked at each other concerned about Christina's way to deal with the moment. They looked at Christina.

"Oh, don't give me that face. Blame it on the liquor. No surprise you're still miserable Mere this liquor is crap!"

"I'm going to sleep now." Meredith already walked up the stairs.

"Goodnight" Izzie yelled.

"Yeah" Christina said watching the TV.

Meredith got up in her room she took all her clothes of and threw them on the floor. She was to tired to put her Pyjama's on. And stepped in bed with only her bra and panties on. She put her head on the pillow and closed her eyes. The only thing she saw was the explosion of the bomb. And the bomb squad guys turning into 'pink mist'. It should have been her, she was already miserable. She thought by herself. It took her a few hours to finally fall a sleep. And still she was having night mares.

It had been 3 days after the bomb exploded. Meredith went to see her mother. Ellis' Alzheimer was advancing and she was rarely lucid. But Meredith needed to ask her about something, something that hadn't escaped her mind for a moment after the bomb exploded. And she needed her mother to not be lucid to answer.

"Hey mom." Meredith said carefully while walking towards her mother.

"Meredith, shouldn't you be in school."

"I, uuhm, got the day of. How are you doing?"

"I have a surgery in an hour. So, great!"

Meredith sat down with a cup of coffee and gave her mother one.

"I wanted to ask you a question, mom"

"Quickly Meredith, I don't have all day."

"Yes I know mom, the surgery." She said while playing the game with her mom.

"Who's Emily?"

Ellis looked up and looked in the eyes of her daughter which begged for an answer.

"Emily is…" She hesitated "She is your sister."

VO: Sometimes you just hope tomorrow IS today. And you have all the answers right away.
