Meredith: Ferry Boats.

Meredith arrived at the ferry dock and went in search of Derek. She walked up and down the pier past the second seat to many times for her to remember and yet no sign. The single red rose and letter were clutched firmly in her hand and her cellphone in the other.

A tall man kept looking at Meredith in a way that creeped her out. He started to walk over towards her and was there in front of her before she had chance to move away.

"Are you Meredith Grey?" the man asked politely.

"Yes?" Meredith replied questionably.

"I'm Carl. Derek sent me and I've been asked to give you this" he said.

Meredith just stared at the gift Derek had sent. She took it, smiled at Carl and walked off. The gift was two beautiful yellow roses once again with a note attached. 'What is he playing at' Meredith thought to herself.

Meredith,

I am glad you reached the wharf. Yes you will be asking what am I doing and why but you will find out later. Meet me. Joe's is your next destination where a tequila shot awaits you.

'Why on earth is he doing all this?' Meredith kept asking herself. 'But hey, can't argue with Tequila.'

With that Meredith went back to her car and on her way back towards the familiar route of going to the hospital where she parked. She ran down to Joe's to see all that sat upon the table was a tequila shot and another rose but this time purple.

Joe came over to see Meredith with another tequila shot. He saw the puzzled look upon her face.

"Hey what's up?" he asked.

"Derek. He keeps leaving me roses at different places with-'

Meredith was cut off at the sound of the bell ringing as the door opened and a man walked through. She was about to carry on telling Joe what Derek was up to and if he knew anything about it when the man asked "is Meredith Grey in here?".

"Yeah she's here" Joe replied for her as she didn't want to answer that question.

The man came over and was wearing a tux with a name badge on it. "Hi I'm Nathan. I'm your driver for this afternoon." The man said holding his hand out.

"Driver?" Meredith asked confused whilst shaking his hand.

"Yes. Your carriage awaits you outside." Nathan replied.

"Carriage."

"I'm here to pick you up and drop you off." Nathan said to make Meredith understand a little more clearly. "We need to leave now though, sorry."

"Oh! Wait, Meredith I almost forgot. Here, Derek asked me to give you this." Joe said as Meredith stood up to leave.

Joe handed Meredith a note. It read:

Meredith,

This afternoon you will meet Nathan. Nothing to worry about he is a good man. Go with him. I'll see you when you arrive.

All my love,

Derek

"You said you didn't know." Meredith questioned Joe.

"I didn't say anything. Nathan came right on cue and you must leave now." Joe said pushing Meredith out the door.

Meredith went up the stairs with Nathan to see in front of her a beautiful Horse and Carriage surrounded with all types of flower and a huge teddy bear inside. She smiled to see the effort Derek had put into this just for her.

"So, where are we going?" Meredith asked Nathan.

"You'll see." He replied with a smile on his face.

Nathan helped Meredith into the carriage and took his own seat at the front and they took of. They went through different parts of Seattle, past the pin and arrived at the local shopping mall.

The carriage stopped. Nathan helped Meredith out and took her by the arm into the shops. They went into the first shop known as Tally's where they went straight to the counter and were met by Carol, the little old shop assistant holding a slimming black cocktail dress with heels.

"Ah my dear, you must be Meredith. I have been asked to give you these to put on right now. But you must hurry my dear as its 5pm and we close soon" Carol said smiling brightly.

Meredith did what she was told with no questions asked. She got into the dress and looked stunning. She slipped on her heels and walked out to meet Nathan and Carol.

"Aw lovey you look beautiful. Wait until Derek sees you!" Carol said all excited.

"Sees me?" Meredith asked.

"Time to go" said Nathan placing a small silver cardigan on Meredith. With that he pulled her away before she had time to thank Carol.

Meredith was back in the carriage and had no idea where she was going and why she had to look the way she did. They left the mall and were going through Greenstone Park. It started to get dark now but Meredith was not worried at all. The only thing that shocked her was when she arrived to see..
