"Amelia, you need to talk to someone about that, get this thing out of your head, relax a little!" – Maggie said and as soon as she spots Arizona coming, she opened a huge smile – "There! Arizona! She can help you!"
"How can I help?" – Arizona said, smiling, without a clue why her name was said with such an enthusiasm.
"In no way. Maggie, stop it!" – Amelia said, angrily.
"You need tips from someone experienced, Amelia. Stop being such a stubborn!" – Maggie exclaimed.
"What's happening? Is it a consult that you need?" – Arizona was intrigued.
"No!" – both Amelia and Maggie answered at the same time.
"Well, now I'm curious. What is it? How can I help? Oh! Are you pregnant?" – Arizona sounded excited.
"No! I'm not pregnant!" – Amelia shouted.
"Yeah, well, I thought you and Hunt were over since he left to Texas with his sister and…" – Arizona got interrupted.
"I'm not pregnant! At all!" – Amelia said, frowning, the common reaction every time she hears Owen's name.
"Oh! Do you want to get pregnant? Like, an artificial insemination? Are you going through the baby fever?" – Arizona was excited, smiling, and shooting a lot of questions.
"Great help, Maggie, thanks." – Amelia was sarcastic.
"Amelia has a date tonight, and she's nervous about it. Because it is with a lady" – Maggie said, smiling, making Amelia look embarrassed.
"Oh my God! Yay! That's awesome! Tell me, do I know her? Actually, first of all, welcome! To our, you know, our side! The best side!" – Arizona exclaimed.
"Arizona, please, help her because I ran out of options with this one! See you guys later!" – Maggie left for a surgery.
"Tell me, who is she? Do I know her? I know a whole bunch of lesbians in this hospital" – Arizona said.
"She doesn't work here. You don't know her. Actually, I don't know her either. We've only talked online" – Amelia was trying to enjoy the opportunity of having Arizona Robbins giving her date advice, even though she felt a little uncomfortable talking about this.
"Uh! Blind date! Exciting!" – Arizona exclaimed – "Ok, go on, details!"
"Details?" – Amelia asked, confused.
"Yeah, the basics. Name, age, profession, when is your date, where are you going, what are you expecting?" – Arizona asked.
"Why do I have the feeling you're far more excited about this than I am?" – Amelia asked, laughing.
"Because my ex-girlfriend left without saying goodbye or leaving a phone number. And I don't have a date since… well, forever. So, yes, I'm living through your life. Can you give me some details, please?" – Arizona explained, making Amelia laugh.
"Ok. Her name is Audrey, she's…" - Amelia got interrupted.
"Uh! I like it!" – Arizona exclaimed.
"Her name? You're weird, Robbins." – Amelia stated.
"Thank you. Go on. Audrey…" – Arizona said.
"She's 36, she's a lawyer, and we're supposed to go out tonight, but I don't know where, and right now I'm second guessing if I should really do this at all" – Amelia confessed.
"Well, why don't you try Joe's? It's close, it's a place you know, you can run away to the hospital if the date sucks…" – Arizona got interrupted.
"Run away? Will I want to run away?" – Amelia shouted.
"No! Of course, not, I was joking. Why are you so nervous about it? It's just a date!" – Arizona asked.
"Because the last time I've been with a woman I was 21. In med school. Drunk." – Amelia explained.
"Try to think about it as a regular date, with a man. Something you've done before and excel at it. What do you usually do on a date with a man?" – Arizona asked and now Amelia was feeling comfortable talking to her.
"Sex. Usually, I jump the date part and go straight to the sex part." – Amelia said and when she looked at Arizona, she shouted – "Don't judge me!"
"Not judging at all. If anything, I'm kind of jealous. Not about the man part, but the sex part. God, I miss sex. Anyway, lesbians love the sex part, too. But we're the whole package, you know? We can talk, we can laugh and we can have sex. Don't skip the date part; it's a good part. And definitely, a good prep for the sex part" – Arizona explained.
"But I don't wanna go to Joe's. Lots of familiar faces, that will make me nervous" – Amelia explained. – "Should a suggest a coffee, maybe?"
"At 9 pm? Maggie was right, you do need help!" – Arizona laughed – "Here. You should go to The Triple Door, in Union St. Great place, awesome live music, fantastic food, gay-friendly" – Arizona suggested.
"Do you think it's appropriate for a first date?" – Amelia asked, insecure.
"It's wonderful for a first date, believe me." – Arizona exclaimed.
"Thank you, Arizona. Triple Door it is, then!" – Amelia said.
"Let me know how it went!" – Arizona said and left the brunette reflecting.
Arizona really liked Amelia. After so much she went through, she was a strong and brilliant surgeon, and also an extremely funny person to be around. Arizona didn't know Amelia deeply well, but she surely would love to.
In the meantime, Amelia typed a text message to her date, using Arizona's suggestion.
Triple Door, 9 pm tonight. Heard it's a stunning place.
In the end of her shift, Arizona was getting dressed to leave the hospital. It was a busy and hard day to her. Two of her patients died after a week of struggling to survive. One was a premature baby and the other one was a mom. She couldn't help thinking how was going to be the life of this survivor mother who just lost her baby and the life of the survivor baby who lost his mother. Life can be quite unfair sometimes.
She checked her watch to see it was almost time for Amelia's date. She texted her friend.
Just relax and enjoy the night. It's going to be awesome!
A few minutes after that, her phone buzzed with a text, from Amelia, in response to hers.
Thanks, Robbins. I might freak out soon, so keep your phone close to you!
Arizona laughed. Amelia was quite a character sometimes.
