Ok I know my stry titles suck but oh well, this is an AU fanfic where Izzie and Meredith are divorce lawyers at a top New York law firm and Mark and Derek are surgeons (plastic and neuro obviously) at one of the best hospitals in New York. Just thought I would try something different.

Chapter 1

"Izzie, you lost a case get over it." Meredith and Izzie were sitting in Izzie's office eating lunch. They had met at college and had been friends ever since. They had ended up getting jobs at the same law firm and were now living in the same house. It had been Meredith's mother's house; she was in a home with Alzheimer's disease, she and Meredith didn't have the best relationship.

"Meredith, I shouldn't have lost, it's just that sleaze bag of a lawyer. I swear he bribed the judge."

"Izzie!"

"Ok fine, I lost fair and square, how's your case going?"

"Surprisingly good, I don't even think that it will go to court, the husband will settle. "

"Cool, do you want to go out tonight?"

"Where?"

"Well this great bar opened up down the road, my client was telling me about it, sounds good."

"Ok fine a drink is just what I need. I have to go but I'll see you at home later."

"Bye." Meredith left the room and Izzie sighed as she looked at her laptop. She had so much work to do. She better get a move on if she wanted to go out at all, she picked up the phone and started dialling.

"Do you want to go out tonight?" Mark asked Derek Shepherd, his best friend.

"Mark if this is another attempt to get me to get over Addison let me tell you something it won't work."

Derek and Mark had grown up together and had remained best friends all their lives. Derek had gotten married when he was still at med school, to Addison Montgomery who after 11 years of marriage had cheated on him with another doctor at the hospital.

"It's not; I just feel like going out, this new bar opened and I thought we could try it out but if you want to spend another night sitting in your hotel room by yourself be my guest."

"Fine," Derek snapped.

"Aww come on it will be good for you. Derek you need to move on."

"I am, I have, I just need time." Derek's phone started ringing. "It's my lawyer, hold on I need to take this." Mark sighed, he knew Derek was hurting but he had to let go and stop blaming himself for his failed marriage.

"Yes, no, I can't do that, ok, leave me alone now, I'm paying you, go away, fine ok I'll do it, I said I would do it!"

"Does she really annoy you that much?" Mark asked with an amused smile on his face, Derek's lawyer seemed to drive him crazy.

Derek sighed, "No, she's one of the best lawyers in the city but she wants me to get some things off of Addison."

"Like what?"

"Financial records, mortgage payments, you know that sort of stuff."

"But you've not talked to Addison since it happened."

"Precisely."

"So what did your lawyer say when you told her that."

"She told me to stop being such a baby, stop messing around and then she said that if I didn't do this, well I don't actually want to repeat what she said."

"Ha, sounds like my kind of girl."

"Oh there I would have to disagree with you. She is so not your type."

"What she not hot?"

"Oh no she is, she used to be a model but she's not your type."

"How come?"

"Trust me!"

"That's it Izzie, I need to stop sleeping with inappropriate guys, from now on no more one night stands."

"Yeah whatever you say."

Meredith was being serious, "Iz, I mean it."

"How many drinks have you had Mer?"

"One,"

Izzie looked shocked, "you mean that's you're first one since we came out tonight? It's been like what? An hour? Usually by now you're plastered."

"Go away, Miss I Never Get Drunk with My Glass of Water."

"I do drink, I just don't get drunk."

"Leave me alone."

Izzie stuck her tongue out at Meredith, "so why have you all of a sudden decided to stop sleeping with random men?"

"The guy I woke up next to this morning puked all over my bed and he barely made it outside before throwing up in the bushes."

She screwed up her face, "that's what that smell was?"

Meredith nodded, "sadly yes."

"Ewww gross!"

"So speaking of love and relationships how is your love life?"

"Non-existent."

"Izzie you need to get laid."

"No I don't, I got laid last week."

"Yeah with freak-boy Craig."

"True. I am so glad I dumped him."

"Really, I thought he was a keeper."

"Shut up," Izzie laughed. She looked around the room, "So this is a pretty cool club."

"Yeah, isn't that your friend Joanne over there?"

"Yeah, hold I'm going to go talk to her, I'll be right back and while I'm gone don't go home with any random guys." She got up and left. Meredith needed another drink; she walked over to the bar and started drinking tequila shots.

"Can I buy you a drink?" Meredith turned to find some guy talking to her. She ignored him. "You're ignoring me."

She finally answered him, "trying to."

"You shouldn't ignore me."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm someone you need to get to know to love."

"Really?"

"Oh yes!"

"So if I know you I'll love you?"

"Oh yes."

"You really like yourself huh?"

"Just hiding my pain." She laughed. "So what's your story?"

"I don't have a story; I'm just a girl in a bar."

"I'm just a guy in a bar." Ok so she was flirting, she couldn't help it, she wouldn't go home with this guy, she wouldn't.

Where the hell was he? Mark had turned his back for one minute and Derek had disappeared. He seen him chatting to some girl at the bar and decided to leave him to his own devices. Now Mark needed someone to talk to.

He walked over to the other side of the room where he spotted one of the, if not the hottest girl in the bar. He started flirting with her shamelessly and she flirted right back. They had been talking for about an hour when the girl picked up her bag and got off her seat. "Where are you going?" Mark asked.

"Home."

"Want some company?"

She thought about it for a minute before shaking her head. "No."

Most girls usually invited him home, this was surprising. "Why not?"

"I don't date guys like you."

"I didn't know sex and dating were the same thing."

"Ok then smart ass, I don't have sex with guys like you."

"Guys like me?"

"Guys like you who think that they can get any girl just because they are even the slightest bit hot."

"So you think I'm hot."

"I've seen hotter."

"Sure you have."

"There is no way you're ever getting into my pants."

"You're wearing a skirt."

She looked at him before walking away, "I guess you can see past your own ego. Surprising!"

Ok so she lied when she said she had seen hotter guys. This guy was gorgeous but, she could also tell that he was a complete ass. She was a relationship sort of girl, she didn't have sex with random men, and she most definitely was not Meredith Grey.
