Summary: I guess if I'm going to have a love interest for Ray in another story (see Ultimate NBC Crossover) I should explain how she got there.

Disclaimer: I don't own ER, But Dr. Abbi Laynce, so there!

Author's Note: I thought it would be cool to explain how Dr. Abbi Laynce got here, since she may or may not become a big character in The Ultimate NBC Crossover.

Love and Let Love

"Excuse me!" The man behind the counter didn't turn around. She tried again, "Excuse me!"

"All patients must report to the triage desk over there," the man pointed, looking slightly perturbed. He quickly turned around again.

"I'm not a patient," she quickly countered. "I'm here to see a Dr. Lewis."

"Check the doctor's lounge down the hall," the bitter man said. The young woman quickly walked down the hall towards the door marked 'Lounge'.

"Hello?" She timidly asked to the room.

"Hello," a pleasant looking blond woman replied.

"I'm looking for a Dr. Lewis."

"That would be me", the women replied.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Abbi Laynce, your new resident."

"Oh, I've been expecting you! Your late!"

"I would have been here sooner, but the desk clerk wouldn't listen to me," Abbi said.

"That's fine, Frank's always cranky. You'll get used to it. Let me show you around." Dr. Lewis said, "This is your locker. We'll get you a permanent name plate soon, right now you can use masking tape."

"What happened to…" she examined the nameplate, "Dr. Gallant?"

"He was sent to Iraq. Now this is obviously the lounge, a place that you'll probably never see. And these are the exam rooms, " she said as they stepped out in to the hall, "and this is Frank, our lovely desk clerk, and this is the suture room, and these are the trauma rooms." They finished the loop, "So that's the ER. Any questions?"

"No. I think I've got it all," Abbi said.

"Okay, so I guess you get to work then. Oh it may help if you knew someone. Hey, Sam!" A blond haired nurse walked over. " This is Dr. Abbi Laynce, she'll be working here."

"Hi, I'm Sam Taggert," the blond haired nurse said.

"Abbi Laynce, please to meet you," Abbi replied, her southern accent coming out a bit.

"Oh, and that's Luka or Dr. Kovac," Susan said, pointing to a tall, dark haired man, "and with him is Neela Rasgota. Oh, and over here is Abby. Abby meet…oh, shit this could get confusing. Okay, Dr. Abby Lockhart, meet Dr. Abbi Laynce."

"Pleased to meet you," Dr. Laynce said, smiling at Dr. Lockhart.

"Nice to meet you too. Susan, there's a 42 car pile-up on the express way, and we might be the only ones receiving patients."

"SHIT! Why is it always on the days we're understaffed." Susan responded, " Alright all hands on deck, this is not a drill. Frank, call anyone whose ever worked in an ER." She turned to Abbi, "Your in for a treat!"
