"I'm going to Rehab!" Chief Webber announced, as some Paramedics loaded his things into a nearby Ambulance for the trip.
Derek glared at Meredith, who chuckled sheepishly. Izzie, Cristina, and Mark stood with them, all looking rather solemn.
"Oh Richard.." Adele sobbed, pulling her husband into a hug. He kissed the top of her head, before climbing into the Ambulance and settling himself onto the gurney.
"Adele, don't forget to pay the Nurses while I'm gone."
"I won't" said Adele, wiping her eyes.
"And Mark" He turned to the Head Of Plastics, "Please, for the love all that is Holy, DO NOT botch any surgeries on magical Patients!"
Mark bowed his head in shame.
"And Derek.."
"Yes Chief?" said Derek, trying to stay strong.
"The love you and Meredith share has taught me so much." he began. "I am eternally sorry for ever trying to split you apart.."
"It's okay Chief, you were just doing what you thought was best" said Derek, turning to his Wife. "We forgive him, don't we Meredith?"
"Of course" Meredith nodded.
"Meredith" Chief Webber turned to her, smiling. "You are becoming an excellent Surgeon. I'm proud to welcome you into the Seattle Grace family.. Which has grown a lot bigger with all the bright and shiny friends you brought with you!"
"Yeah, sorry about that.." Meredith chuckled.
"Oh no! They're wonderful, all wonderful! Now, there's one last piece of business we need to.." Before the Chief could finish his sentence, the doors suddenly slammed shut, and the Ambulance zipped off down the road.
"Cheif Webber.. Is gone" said Cristina, removing her scrub cap as a sign of respect.
The Ambulance screeched to a stop, and the doors swung open. The group gasped and rushed towards it.
"Put your scrub cap back on, stupid!" Izzie barked at Cristina, who did as she was told.
"Sorry about that" said The Chief. "The driver thought my business meant leaving. Now Meredith.."
"Yes, Chief?" she asked, stepping closer.
"I'll be gone for quite a while, and somebody needs to run things around here, so.. You and Derek are in charge."
"What?" Cried Meredith. "You can't be serious!"
The look on Cristina and Izzie's faces showed Meredith that they agreed with her.
But the look on Chief Webber's face said he was serious. Deadly serious.
"Come on! There's got to be a better person for the job than us!"
"Well" said The Chief reluctantly, "There is one other candidate.."
"Who?" asked Meredith, relieved.
"An Intern at Mass-Gen. She has photographic memory, so she'd be able to easily remember everything she needs to be Chief, at least temporarily" Chief Webber explained. "Her name is.." The Ambulance doors slammed shut again, and it began to drive off.
Cristina removed her scrub cap.
"No!" cried Meredith desperately, chasing after the Ambulance. "The name! What's her name?"
The ambulance screeched to a halt, and the doors swung open.
"Geez, make up your mind!" Cristina snapped, jamming her scrubcap back on.
"Sorry" said The Chief, glaring at the Ambulance driver. Where were we?"
"The name!" Meredith yelled. "You were going to give us the name of the other Interim Chief candidate!"
"Oh, yes. Her name is.." said The Chief, dragging out the pause for an unbearably long time, "Alexandra Caroline Grey. Though I think she prefers Lexie."
Meredith's jaw dropped. The supposedly simple solution to her problem had just become very complicated.
"Weird, huh Mer?" Izzie chuckled. "She has the same name as your bright and shiny half-sister who you've never met!"
"That's because she is my bright and shiny half-sister, Iz."
"Oh."
"Well, that's everything" Chief Webber sighed. "Goodb.."
The doors slammed, and the Ambulance drove off. It didn't stop.
Derek pulled Meredith to his side.
Mark comforted Adele, who was fighting back tears.
Izzie nudged Cristina, who quickly took off her scrub cap.
