Don't worry! Sending him and her will still be running but this idea came to me and I had to write it! And it's time I wrote something not entirely Sam/Dylan oriented!

Disclaimer: Only Melody and the situations! Not Casualty :(

The buzz of the staffroom hushed as Nick walked in with various papers. "Right, good morning everyone. Should hopefully be a nice shift no events in the area are organised but you know this place, expect the unexpected! Oh and we have a new doctor joining us today. Dr Parks will be arriving part way through the shift to get used to the place before officially starting tomorrow. Be nice. That's everything so enjoy your day!"

"Hi, I'm looking for Mr Jordan? Can you help me?" A young woman with very blonde hair asked Noel.

"Possibly, what is your name?" Noel replied giving Big Mac a glance.

"Can you tell him that Melody Parks is here to see him? He should know I'm coming."

"Yes of course. Please take a seat." Noel clicked about on the computer and shifted some files while studying Melody as she sat surveying the waiting area.

Nick sent off the email he had been writing and headed out of his office. He wandered slowly towards reception cleaning his hands along the way.

"Mr Jordan? There's a lady looking for you, a Miss Parks. She said you would know her?" Noel said as Nick studied the files on the desk.

"Ah yes. Where is she?" He replied looking up.

"Over there" Noel said gesturing towards the blonde sitting patiently.

"Right, thank you Noel." Nick said looking at the girl. She glanced up and noticed him staring at her and quickly made her way over.

"Melody Parks, pleased to meet you again Mr Jordan." She said holding out a small hand.

"Good to see you again Melody. I see you're still as confident as ever." He replied and Melody chuckled slightly.

"Only you saw me ever saw me as confident Nick." Melody said as she shut the office door. Taking in the surrounding she sat down gracefully on the chair opposite Nick.

"Well, it's a nicer description than sarcastic and bossy." He replied.

"I'll get you for that one day Nick" She laughed pointing a finger lazily at him.

"Perhaps!" He said pulling some papers towards him, "so how have you been? I haven't seen you for a good ten years."

"Oh you know, pretty decent. Few mishaps here and there but nothing too bad." Melody replied a grimace quickly passing her face. "Yes, I last saw you after that pharmaceutical conference with my Dad. I was, what, 16? Yeah 9 years ago! How time flies!"

"And here you are now, a fully fledged doctor! Dreams turned to reality i suppose!" Nick said remembering that conference well. The teenagers interest in the working life of an actual doctor had surprised him. She had seemed so confident and always joked around with him like he was not 30 years older than her.

"Yep! Here I am! I guess I should have a look around? That alright?" She asked remembering the conference fondly. Nick had been a laugh, she knew him quite well by the time she was 16. She had been going to medical conferences since she was 14 so she knew quite a few influential people. Her parents and Nick were good friends and he had been like an uncle to her; she had enjoyed her time at conferences.

So continue or not? There will be Tom and Dylan in the next chapter and we shall learn a little more about Melody. :)
