Ok guys. This was my entry for the sentence fic challenge on LJ. And I am still unsure on the fate of VDSM, most likely it will be deleted.


Home Again

You watch as he enters the trailer. He cocks his head to the side when he sees you, and smiles. The corners of your mouth barely turn in reply, because you're angry. And it's your right to be. He's the one who forgot, not you. You're the one who's been working all day wondering when he was going to remember and he hasn't.

" Are you ready?" He asks as if you're supposed to know what that means.

" For what?" In this moment you are so beyond confused.

" We have somewhere we have to be. Are you ready?" Still confused, you ask him if what you're wearing is appropriate. He looks you up and down, in a way you haven't seen in a while. He smiles and nods telling you that you look absolutely perfect for where he's taking you. This time you smile a real smile because you now think that he didn't necessarily forget; he was just holding out on you.

Now the two of you are walking to the car and Derek almost jumps to open the door for you. You look at him a little cock eyed, but all he does is shut the door and walk around to sit in the driver's seat.

Now you two have been out on the road for a little while, and the curiosity, and the silence, is killing you so you decide to put an end to both things.

" Where are you taking me Dr. Shepherd?"

He smirks, clearly loving the fact that you're in the dark, and replies, " That's for me to know and you to find out, Dr. Shepherd."

Not knowing has never been an option for you, so you try to pester him a little bit more. He simply turns up the radio and tunes you out.

"Fine." You say, and turn towards the window to watch Seattle pass you by.

At the next red light, Derek takes your hand in his and kisses it gently. You can feel yourself turn pink all over.

"We're almost there I promise." You nod your head and return to your spot by the window. Not five minutes later, he pulls up into this big open field of flowers, and even though it's almost 7 at night, there's enough light to see that they're a color of pink. You're so eager to figure out what they are that you hop out of the car before Derek even shuts the engine off. You walk about 10 yards away from the car, and bend down to smell one of the flowers. In your three-inch heels you loose your balance and fall to the ground. You start to laugh, but you don't get up. You simply stay there, lying in a field of some gorgeous smelling flowers. A few minutes later Derek stands over you, smiling his McDreamy smile, with his hand outstretched for you to take. You shake your head and pat to the spot on the ground next to you. He obliges and lies next to you.

" You know I didn't bring you out here so you could take a nap."

" I'm not napping. I'm lying down in a field of gorgeously scented pink flowers."

He chuckles, "Oh, ok then." The two of you remain there a little while longer, until you feel water drop straight between your eyes. And then you feel it again, on your right leg in the middle of your calf. Then on your stomach, and then it's all over you and Derek jumps up next to you and starts running towards the car to avoid the rain. You are a little slower to stand, and you don't immediately run for shelter. You let the rain drip from your forehead down to your nose. You notice the little splatter it makes once it hits your bare arm, and you let it drench the ends of your auburn colored hair.

" Addi come on," Derek says, waving his hand at you. You finally run towards the car and get in. You both are dripping wet, but that doesn't matter, because you're happier than you've been in a long time. And when Derek wraps his strong, wet arm around you, you're home.

" Happy Anniversary."


Hope you all loved it! REVIEW PLEASE!
