Is it you?

A/N: So I've never done this before. It's kinda nerve wrecking for some super weird reason.

If you don't like it, let me know. If you do...Well that would be great to!

Disclaimer: Not mine. Just messing around.

Chapter 1

"11 'o clock," Callie said to herself, switching off her phone, placing it on her bedside table, letting her head rest on the pillow. New York and Arizona were a world away, simply letters on a white screen, a distant voice, two pictures, but yet she seemed impossibly close, familiar. Despite the tiredness that now seemed to empty itself completely on her, she could not fall asleep thinking that in another state her friend was probably doing the same thing. They were friends, she told herself, as the alarm sounded, friends.

The last three weeks had slipped away almost without notice, Callie thought, letting the rubber of the stick bounce gently on the ground, again, again, again. Where did all the time go? Living in Seattle, everyday seemed caught up in every other, an ebb and flow that seemed to draw you, unconsciously, into itself. She tried to remember something worth remembering; nothing came to mind.

"Your shot," said Mark, still focused on the table. Always so intense, Callie thought, watching him. She wondered what he'd do if she walked up to him right then and kissed him.

"What?" Mark asked, catching the mischievous smile lingering on her lips.

"Nothing," she said, enjoying his intrigue, knowing he wouldn't ask again.

The cue settled between her thumb and forefinger, moving slightly back and forth, aiming for the red ball. She watched the white ball travel slowly across the green surface, softly cutting the ball, sending it into the center pocket. Her phone vibrated in her pocket. Why on earth would Arizona call? She wondered, feeling her pulse quicken, as she flipped open the phone.

"Hello?"

"Dude, you'll never guess where I am!"

"In western Cambodia in the process of adopting a ridiculously cute and cuddly spiky- haired baby?"

"Close."

"That's all I've got."

"One more try."

"Zona! They've been jamming useless facts in my head all day, I've just had my kidney removed and auctioned on EBay, and Paul called to say he's leaving me and taking Sugar. I don't need this from you!"

"He's taking the dog?"

"Someone's clearly swallowed a clown this morning."

"Hardy har har!"

"It's not that funny. So dude, where are you that it's so important to call me, when I'm like trying to support our eight kids?"

"Hello, there are ten of them!"

"Oops. But seriously."

"I'm in…" she let her voice trail off and Callie felt herself smile. Though she had never physically met Arizona, she could imagine her on the other end, a smile creeping across her mouth, into her blue eyes, lighting her entire face.

"You're in…?"

"Seattle."
