AN: Izzie and Cristina tell a story together in this chapter, so, to prevent any confusion, just remember this:
Bold= Izzie
Italics= Cristina.
"And then there were three" Meredith grinned, looking around at her remaining competition. "Who else wants to step up?"
"I have a terrifying tale!" said Cristina. She cleared her throat, about to begin. "It was.."
"..A dark and stormy night!" Izzie interrupted.
Izzie and Cristina stood in a dark Forest, soaked with rain.
"What the..?!" Story-Cristina frowned, echoing her real life counterpart as she glared at Izzie.
"We needed to find some shelter!"
A bolt of lightning crashed, revealing a creepy looking Motel a short distance ahead of them.
"It's my turn to tell a story!"
Both Cristinas were ignored as the pair approached the Motel. The door opened to reveal a very familiar-looking elderly lady.
"Uh, doesn't that chick look a lot like Rose?" said Cristina, eyes narrowed.
"What? No, not at all! Seriously, Yang, you worry too much."
"The kindly old Innkeeper was very friendly. She made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside."
"Me and my sidekick here would like a room" said Izzie to the Innkeeper.
"Sidekick?" cried Cristina, annoyed.
"And some Muffins" Izzie continued, as if she hadn't heard.
"I'm not your sidekick.."
"..We are equals!"
"Oh, of course we are!"
"Said the Noble General Surgeon Izzie Stevens, reassuring her clearly inferior sidekick."
"I'm getting really tired of this!"
"But before Cristina could thank her, the trusty sidekick decided to take a well deserved shower."
"What the.."
Cristina suddenly appeared in the shower, water already running, with a cap covering her unruly hair.
"Well, as long as I'm here.." The Cardio-God in the making shrugged, beginning to lather up.
"But then Danger came from behind!"
"What?!"
The music from 'Psycho' began to play as the Innkeeper burst through the shower curtain, A knife raised above her head.
Cristina screamed.
A stream of blood trickled down the drain.
"..And poor Cristina was never seen again!" Izzie finished dramatically.
"Oh no!" Cristina snapped. "That is not how the story ends! I was well aware of the approaching danger.."
"..And quickly went for my scalpel, which I had wisely hidden inside my shower cap!"
"Aha!" Cristina whipped out her scalpel, prepared to face the evil Innkeeper's assault.
"But luckily she didn't have to, because I showed up to save her!"
Izzie burst into the room, tackling the Innkeeper to the ground.
"Don't worry Cristina, I'm here to save you!" she cried, striking a heroic pose.
"You've got to be kidding me.."
The Innkeeper's was wearing a wig which had fallen off in the scuffle, revealing their true identity.
"It was Nurse Rose! Of course, I'd known that all along.."
"No you didn't, I did!"
"Anyway, she had Hahn's old Magic Scalpel, and she wanted revenge!"
"I want revenge!" Rose whined like a three year old, standing and raising the Scalpel.
"But before brave Izzie could stop her.."
Rose zapped Cristina, leaving nothing but a pile of dust.
"..It was awful, it was terrible, and it was really, really, scary!" Izzie tried again.
"What? No!" Cristina growled. "Go back, it can't end that way either.."
"Even though Rose was fast, I was quick enough to block the attack and leap to safety!"
"Which is exactly what she wanted you to do!"
Cristina looked down to see herself standing on a large red 'X'.
"Uh-oh." She looked at Rose, who was now standing by a lever on the wall.
"Rose laughed like a crazed maniac!"
"HA HA HA HA HA!" Rose cackled, pulling the lever.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Cristina screamed, as she plunged into a bottomless pit.
"No way, I would not let that happen to me!"
The story seemed to rewind itself, returning Cristina to safety.
"Instead, I woke up! Yeah, it was all a dream!"
The Cardio-obsessed resident sat up safely in bed.
"You mean a nightmare."
Izzie appeared, seemingly upside down, in the doorway.
"Cristina?" she frowned. "You know you're on the ceiling, right?"
The room turned right side up, and Cristina yelped as she fell to the ground, crushed under her bed.
"I'm gonna get you for this, Stevens!"
"And then the lights went out!"
The room fell pitch-dark. Only Izzie's eyes could be seen.
"It was horrible and sad, how Cristina prayed for mercy like a little baby!"
"Mercy? Oh please.."
"..Said Cristina, with her last dying breath."
"But when the lights came back on, it was Izzie who was in the shower!"
"What?" Izzie frowned, as she was instantly transported to the shower.
"Why would I do that?"
"Because you stink."
"Hey!"
"Anyway, right behind you, there was danger!"
"Oh no.."
The curtain was pulled back by a giant muffin holding a knife.
"You were paralyzed with fear! It was a giant, General Surgeon-eating Muffin, and it wanted revenge!"
"I WANT REVENGE!" The Muffin boomed.
"Izzie ran! But how far can you run when you are on a plate.."
"Huh?" Izzie frowned as the plate appeared beneath her feet.
"Covered in butter.."
"Whoa!" Izzie cried, slipping around.
"Wearing a pink tutu.."
"Hey!"
"And a sombrero.."
"Stop it!"
"And a coconut brassier!"
"You're having way too much fun with this!"
"Yep! So, Izzie was about to be eaten alive!"
The Giant Muffin picked up the plate.
"No!" Izzie cried. "Please, I'm gonna switch to waffles!"
But it was too late. Izzie fell, screaming, into the Muffin's mouth.
"..And she was never seen again! BUAHAHAHAHA!" Cristina cackled.
"But what Cristina didn't know was, right behind her was the thing she feared most" Izzie smirked.
Cristina turned to look, but quickly relaxed.
"I'm not scared of George."
But then, when she wasn't looking, George pulled out his phone and played a very realistic gunshot sound-effect.
Cristina's eyes widened in terror.
"Ah, Gary Clark!" she screamed, heading for the exit. "He's back, run for your lives!"
"The End!" Izzie grinned, hi-fiving George.
"I'm pretty sure that was cheating" said Meredith, crossing her arms.
"It worked, didn't it?" Izzie shrugged.
"I guess. So, who's next in our little contest? Me, George, or.." She frowned. "Has anyone seen the Interns?"
As they wandered aimlessly through the Forest, hopelessly lost, Megan and Pierce glared at Steve, having followed him when he wandered away from the group.
"Don't worry, guys" he chuckled nervously. "I'm sure they noticed we were missing straight away. They're probably coming back for us right now.."
