A very „special" gift

I quite liked the idea of the „dating game" settled by Meredith at the beginning of season 3, but I just had some thoughts about how it also could have ended I wanted to share with you.

I have read some of the really awesome fanfics on this site, so I just got motivated to start one by myself. I hope you like it, but I want to tell you that this is the first time I am doing this thing, and also that I am from Germany. So I am no native speaker, so please understand if some of the words I use sound funny to you! I try my very best!

But maybe I should just start by now….

The morning after Meredith left Finn and Derek at Joe's after informing them she wanted to try dating both of them, she was in the locker room getting ready for her shift. Cristina was getting in, very curious about what happened after Mer was flipping that coin and both of the guys walked in.

"Okay Mer, just spit it out: What did you do? You were not really that stupid to let that coin make your descision, were you?"

"No, actually, I had an idea that is just so much better!" Mer answered "I just thought I owe myself to consider my options, so I told them I wanted to date both of them until I know what, sorry, who I want. I think that will be great! Two guys giving me flowers, candy, trying to impress me, until I get to choose which one I want to stay with…"

"Wait, and both of them agreed to that? Don't you think it is a little bit crazy? Nice, but still crazy?"

"I don't know yet! I told them and then left! I think I will find out soon…"

"Okay, Mer, good luck with that…"

Just the George and Alex arrive.

"Hey, you two!" George said and Alex said good morning, Meredith and Cristina mumbled that, too.

The girls stopped talking, finished putting on their scrubs and left the locker room, outside they ran into Derek, who was handing Meredith a cup of coffee.

"Hello, Dr Grey, good morning, Dr Yang!"

"Good Morning Dr Sheperd!" Meredith answered "Thanks for the coffee!"

"Meredith, what do you think about me taking you out for dinner tonight?"

"Derek, I'd love to, but I'm on call tonight! But what about tomorrow? At eight?"

"Fine, I pick you up at home then?"

"Great, but where are we going?" She asked

Derek answered: "That is a surprise! See you later?"

"Okay! Bye"

"Bye girls!"

Right after Derek left, Meredith's cell started ringing.

"Oh my god, I forgot to turn it down!" She looked at who was calling.

"That's Finn!"

Cristina has a sarcastic grin on her face: "Maybe another great date for tomorrow at lunch? I just heard there will be something VERY crappy in the Cafeteria then..."

As Bailey did not show up yet, she quickly answered Finns call.

"Hey Finn! How are you doing?"

"Thanks Mer, I'm fine. I was just wondering if you would like to go out with me tonight or maybe tomorrow?"

"I'm so sorry, but I'm on call tonight and for tomorrow I just settled something with Derek, just to be honest! The night after tomorrow?"

" Sht! I don't have time then! But what about lunch that day?"

"That would be fine! Would you like to come to the hospital and pick me up then?"

"Great! I'm really looking forward to it! See you then! Bye!"

"Bye!"

She just finished the call and turned off the phone when the guys and Bailey walked up and they all got their assignments for the day.
