A/N: So I finally decided to do the music meme thing...and probably to the shock of my followers, it's for Scrubs.

I do plan to return to My Failing Heart soon...actually was playing through New Blood last night to remember how the surgeries go. So, if anyone's still interested in it, two years later...I'll get on it as soon as I can!

And for those who follow me for Ace Attorney, I'll probably do one of these for AA soon too.

Here's the rules...

Music Meme for Writers

1. Pick a character, fandom, pairing, friendship, whatever. (Scrubs!)

2. Put on your music program on shuffle/random and start playing songs.

3. For each song, write something inspired by the song related to the theme you chose earlier. You only have the song length. No pre-planning and no writing after the song is over. No skipping songs either.

4. Do 10 songs and post. Make sure to include the song name/artist. (I did song name and album, because so many of these don't have just one artist.)

…

1 – Laboratory – Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (1:51)

"Dammit, Janice," Dr. Cox snapped. "How in the hell did you get us locked in the lab's supply closet?"

"I-I don't know, Dr. Cox," JD stammered, beginning to sweat a bit. He swallowed the bile making its way up his throat and attempted to ignore the feeling that the walls were closing in on him.

2 – Life Support – RENT (0:56)

"I don't understand," JD muttered. "This guy should have been dead years ago."

Laverne put on a proud smile. "That, boy, is the work of Jesus, and the power of prayer."

He only gave her a tired smile and accepted the clipboard.

3 – Without You – RENT (4:16)

"No, dammit, Newbie—DAMMIT! Stay with me!" Dr. Cox ordered, forcing himself to hold together for the young man on the stretcher. He felt his stomach drop when JD only gave a bloody, wet cough in return, struggling to sit up. "Lay still," he said, more harshly than he meant to, pushing JD back down on the stretcher. "We've got you."

"D—Dr. Cox," JD choked. "I—was—I wanted to—"

He swallowed the lump that he didn't know was in his throat and nodded. "I know," he said, so eager to make sure that JD stayed still that he didn't know exactly what he was supposed to know.

"C—can't feel—"

"You're gonna be okay," Dr. Cox cut in. "Don't try to talk."

"It hurts—" JD grimaced. "Need you to know-"

But what it was, he wouldn't find out before Newbie slumped over, unconscious.

4 – Haven't Met You Yet – It's Time (4:05)

JD grabbed the microphone from its stand and began to belt out the words with a huge grin on his face, oblivious to the obvious discomfort his friends wore.

"Good God," Elliot said, a horrified look on her face. "We let him drink waaaaaaay too much before he got up there."

They were all caught off-guard when JD tipsily made his way off the stage—still holding the microphone and still belting his heart out—and grabbed Dr. Cox's hand, roughly attempting to pull the older doctor up onto the platform with him.

None of them were particularly surprised, however, when JD found himself on the receiving end of a rough backhand from Dr. Cox, who then stormed off the stage and back to the bar.

"Goddamnit, Newbie," he hissed. "If you weren't completely trashed, I would've hit you harder." He turned away and nursed his scotch, trying to block out the shaky tenor voice still coming through the speakers.

5 – Moeity Caves- Riven (2:53)

He watched the young patient talk herself through a ritual she claimed helped to heal her spirit, but JD couldn't help but feel uneasy watching her chant in some ancient language that had been long dead. He found that he had all the more reason to be nervous when her eyes flew open and her dead, red-eyed gaze fixed hungrily on him.

"A sacrifice," she hissed dangerously, when her body suddenly began to convulse and she fell back onto the bed.

"Dammit!" JD spat, sticking his head out the door. "We need help in here!" But even as doctors flooded in to help, her dead eyes and her words stung him through his core.

6 – Lightfoot Tracking Test – Starfox Adventures (0:50)

He sprinted through the hallways, trying to reach the OR doors before his patient did.

"WAIT!" he called, suddenly seeing her and throwing himself in front of the gurney.

7 – Always Smiling -Dance Dance Revolution with Mario (1:29)

The boys laughed hysterically as Carla and Elliot attempted to plod their way through a Dance Dance Revolution song, but both yelped as they suddenly found themselves yanked onto the platforms in the middle of the song. All of the missed steps from their attempts to adjust were causing the in-game announcer to boo angrily.

Carla laughed, watching Turk stomp frantically. "That'll teach him to laugh."

8 – The Day the World Revived – Chrono Trigger

"Newbie...what the hell were you thinking?" Dr. Cox murmured angrily. "Trying to take a goddamned bullet that was meant for me...did you even think?"

But there was no answer from the figure on the bed – only the steady beep of a heart monitor, and a slight sigh as JD breathed out, the bandage around his chest already beginning to bleed through a bit.

9 – Final Battle – Banjo-Kazooie (6:15)

"NO!" JD screamed, drawing the gunman's attention away from his mentor. "You're angry about the way your wife's treatment went? Then I'm the one you want! I treated her!"

As he'd hoped, the angry gaze fixed itself on him, but to his surprise, a bewildered look from Dr. Cox also found its way to him.

"She died because of internal bleeding," JD said firmly, betraying his shaking innards. "There was nothing we could have done. But do you know what we think that came from?" The man's hand tightened on the gun, silently warning the young doctor to stay quiet. "We think that her injuries came from abuse—and it looked like repeated abuse." He set his stormy gaze on the man in front of him, seeming to momentarily forget that the man had a gun. "It was you, wasn't it?"

A quick gunshot gave him all the answer that he needed, and then it was over. The police swarmed in and threw themselves at the man, while Dr. Cox lunged through the mess and over to JD's fallen form.

"No, Newbie, NO!" he shouted, ripping off his lab coat and pressing it firmly over the bullet wound to stem the bleeding. "Dammit, JD, stay with me-!"

Blue-gray eyes suddenly met his. "You...me—JD?" the younger man under him whispered, almost reverentially, before his eyes slipped closed.

When the other doctors finally arrived, they only found Dr. Cox yelling, almost screaming incoherently at the unconscious Dr. Dorian, willing him to come back.

10 – Courtroom Lounge – CANDENZA (Phoenix Wright Remixes) (1:44)

"Well...here we go," he muttered, tugging uncomfortably at the tie he wore.

A firm hand suddenly met his shoulder. "No worries, Dr. Dorian," a young man's voice spoke confidently to him. "You didn't kill your patient, right?"

"Of course not!" JD said, almost indignantly. "That violates everything I believe in!"

"Then you're innocent, and I'll help to prove it."

He met the young lawyer's dark blue eyes and smiled. "Thanks, Mr. Wright," he said, feeling stronger than he had since the summons had arrived.

A/N: So I know I was really reaching for some of these. Especially number 5, yikes. (Seriously, go listen to some music from Riven and tell me what comes to your head; it's a lot of weird sci-fi for me.) But considering how short some of these were, I'm pleased with what I came up with for the most part. I don't think I tried to connect 3 and 8 and 9...but I guess it works.

I know these are little snippets, but I'd still love some feedback on the characters' personalities. As I'm relatively new to the fandom, any help would be appreciated!

Also, if you'd be interested in seeing any of these expanded, please let me know and I'll work on it!
