Okay, so I'm really new at this Fanfic thing, as you can tell. I tried to post the first part of my fic on the site but all that showed up was the Author's Note. So I was super ticked off. But now I'm putting it on and hopefully it STAYS on. Also, thanks a TON to those of you who reviewed, even if there was no story! That's definitely a motivation booster. Okay so, here's the first chapter, actually, I guess it's the prologue.
Just a note. This is my first Mer/Der story EVER. I try really hard but I'm not sure how good it'll be. And I'd really appreciate reviews. Btw, all the chapters are named after songs (with the exception of this one). And I'm also gonna try to put the lyrics of the song into the story. Also, I really don't know much about the states (Canadian! Lol.) so sorry about any misinformation or anything like that.
Key: Bold--Author's note
Italics --Flashback (except if the entire chapter is a flashback, in which case I'll tell you if it is); the speaker's thoughts
Normal --Normal :P
Sooooo the first chapter is pretty short, and it's a flashback to when Meredith and Derek first met. They're eight years old and next-door neighbours in Los Angeles.

Prologue:
Ugh, Los Angeles is soo stupid. It's so boring and hot. Way too hot, thought eight-year-old Meredith Grey. Seattle was home. Seven great years. Great friends. Nice and cool. Sure, it rained nearly every day, but it wasn't as brutally hot as LA. It's all Richard's fault. I mean, why did Mom have to marry some rich, smart, doctor? We were just fine all on our own. And now we have to be here.
Meredith had been sitting outside in the backyard of their new home in a well-off part of Los Angeles all afternoon, plucking grass out of the ground while silently fuming about her situation. Just then, something else caught her attention. Meredith was sure she had seen someone peeking through the fence at her.
Curiosity (and lack of anything better to do) took over, so Meredith decided to investigate. She snuck over to the fence. It was far too high for her to peek over. She spotted a lawn chair to her right and dragged it over, quick to climb upon it. A shuffling in the bushes on the other side of the fence attracted Meredith's attention. She must have been staring for a good five minutes before a wavy, raven head poked out. Lo-and-behold, it was mischevious young Derek Shepherd, son of world-class architect Nathan Shepherd.
"Hullo?" Questioned Meredith, cocking her head to the side.
The boy didn't answer immediately but finally, after crawling out of the rose bush, replied shyly, "Ouch! H-hi... " Derek's face flushed at the sight of the pretty girl. The view is so much better from here.
"Uh, were you... spying.. on me?" she inquired, a smile creeping onto her lips.
"What? No, of course not!"
"Uh huh. So you were just, ya know, hiding in the rose bush for fun?" giggled Meredith.
Derek sighed. "Okay, okay, I was spying on you..."
"I knew it! I win. I always win. Actually, I'm kinda glad I found you. I'm really bored and LA sucks. Way too hot. And my mommy's too busy with her husband to take me shopping for more dollies and none of my toys are here. And of course I have no friends here because all of them are back in Seattle. And so all I can do is think and thinking is no fun if you've got nothing to think about and--why are you laughing at me??"
Sure enough, Derek's head cocked to the side and he was laughing. "You're rambling."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"I so am not. The end. I win. I always win. You should know that, uh..." Meredith's pale cheeks turned crimson with the realization..
"Derek."
"Right...Meredith. Meredith Grey."
"Hey, Meredith?"
"Yeah?"
"Seeing as how you're bored and all...do you wanna come over and hang out here? There's tons more to do at my house. Lots of girly stuff too. I've got four sisters. So, whaddya say?" There was a hint of eagerness in Derek's voice; he obviously wanted her to agree.
"Ya know what? That's the best idea I've heard all week." Meredith flashed him her signature grin.
Derek 's eyes lit up like sapphires. "I'm gonna ask my parents. Be right back." He skipped over to the back door. "Stay here. Don't move. Wait for me." With that, he disappeared.
Meredith hopped off the chair and sprawled across the cool grass. Maybe LA won't be as bad as I thought...
Okay, so there's the prologue for ya. Now you know how Mer and Der met. The next chapter jumps ahead ten years to... SENIOR YEAR :o Lol as you can see, I like smiley faces. Haha. Okay so thank you all so much for your patience with the posting of the chapter and PLEASE REVIEW! :
