Fire and Ice

The residents all gathered inside a small board room, having no clue why the Chief had called them down there. Sarah then walked through the door.

"That's her," Christina whispered to Meredith. "She looks like something out of a Disney movie." Meredith let out a small laugh, but the two then noticed the whole room was now quiet.

"Thank you for the comment, Dr. Yang. I think you'll be glad to know that you're working with me today." This got a laugh out of Alex, who was sitting next to Izzie. "We have an important case coming up and I have the honor of choosing seven residents for assistance. The Chief said to tell you this opportunity might have some weight on the solo surgery." This got everyone's attention. "I'll be speaking with the staff, and the chosen will be posted this afternoon at 4. Now let's go save some lives."

Yang looked at Meredith. "Well, this should be fun."

Callie rushed into the OR to find Derek with a small boy. "What the hell?"

"The boy apparently had a tumor that caused him to convulse. Apparently, Dad came home with too much to drink and decided to cure his kid by stabbing him. I'm trying to get this tumor out of the way but-"

"I could really use your help controlling the bleeding." Erica turned and Callie walked over to her. She grabbed some gauze and helped apply it to the wound when she saw the knife was still in him. "I know. We can't pull it out until we get this under control. As they packed gauze, Callie felt her hands brush Erica's, sending a shiver up her spine.

Derek noticed as the two surgeons froze to stare at one another, and he found it a little un-nerving. He turned to focus on his work, pushing everything else from his mind. This kid didn't deserve to die because he had some rotten father. He was going to make sure this kid lived.

Izzie and Meredith ran into an OR where Phelps was working on a woman whose leg looked a little worse for wear. "Are you my interns?"

"Residents."

"Whatever. I need to repair this woman's artery. She had it severed when her crazy husband stabbed her in a drunken fit." The two girls immediately set to work. "So do you two know Dr. Yang?" Meredith held in a laugh. Christina had backed out of her promise yesterday by simply just walking past him and out of the bar.

"Yeah, Meredith's her best fr- Ow!" Izzie was hushed by a kick to the leg. Meredith just shot her a look. "I mean, I think I may've seen her around before."

"I was just wondering. Do you know her first name?"

"Christina. Ow!"

"That's a nice first name."

GAGA

Sarah was trailed by Yang as she walked around, seeming to aimlessly stop to fill out charts or talk to a doctor. "Is there a point to this?" Sarah whirled around.

"Not really. I have no surgeries lined up for today, but you can go check up on some of my patients." She dropped a huge stack of charts in Christina's arms.

"There are at least twenty people-"

"I know. Enjoy." And she walked off.

GAGA

Sloan was doing one of his usual surgeries as Bailey observed him. "I heard the new doctor beat you up yesterday."

"She didn't beat me up, it was one slap."

"Well, I say good for her. It's about time someone didn't get all weak in the knees and sleep with you when you hit on them."

"I'll change her mind."

"Don't tell me you're still going to bug the girl."

"Fine then: I'm not going too."

GAGA
Alex walked with his charts in hand through a hallway until he turned to see Lexie running up to him. "I need a favor."

"No."

"But-"she whipped her head to see George coming down the hallway. "Oh no." And then she leaned in and kissed Alex, leaving George staring at them. She then pulled away and walked past him. "Hi George."

"What was that about? I thought you and Izzie-"

"I have no idea."

GAGA
Yang slid into her chair exhausted. This was pure torture. She had to talk to Moms about how cute their babies were or abut contractions and boy and – God! Dr. Anderson was going to kill her at this rate. And she was only through ten! The Chief walked by.

"Sir." He faced her. "Sir, Dr. Anderson has it in for me. I mean, there's babies and-"

"Yang, I suggest whatever she's doing to you, you push past it with a smile. I think our new doctor just might be testing you."

GAGA

Derek was almost finished, but then he heard the flat-line. He looked up in shock, it hadn't been him. It was only then when it hit him, this seven year old had bled out.

GAGA

"Where's my son?!'"

Meredith looked down. "Ms. Avery, it was just too much. We did all that-"

"No! No! NO! He's my boy! He's my baby! No!"

GAGA

Derek saw Callie and Erica exiting the hospital hand in hand. He let his temper get hold of him and stormed up to the two. "What happened?"

"Derek, it was too much. You saw-"

"All I saw was you two staring at one another! Kids with horrible parents deserve to make it, they deserve to be happy! You two need to make this professional in the OR." And he stormed out. He deserved to be happy. It wasn't his fault. She deserved to be happy.

GAGA

Yang had just finished the last patient as Sarah came up to her. "How did it go?"

"Just fine, Dr. Anderson."

"I heard some good things from my patients, Yang. I think you're finished for today, so go find some surgery. But first, hang this on the board. I really appreciate it."

She handed Yang a list. It was the five people.
