It had been three months since Callie was in Seattle. Three long months had passed since she was able to kiss her girlfriend or even see her. She couldn't contain any of the emotions she was feeling. Her tour had officially ended and she was on her way back to LA. Her best friend, Mark, was picking her up from LAX and he was going to help her pack for her trip back to Seattle. He also helped her plan out the vacation she was surprising Arizona with.
"Torres!"
"Mark! Oh, sunny LA, it feels good to be back."
"Funny; so, does Blondie know that your tour ended?"
"No, she doesn't. She thinks that I'm still in Miami. But her best friend, Teddy, knows that I'm flying in tomorrow. She planned a girl's night with a couple other doctors and she's going to pick me up from the airport before hand. We're going to surprise Arizona."
"What about for your top secret vacation? Doesn't she need to plan that out with work and all?"
"Teddy was working that out with the Chief of Surgery. We have all this planned out perfectly. It's her great birthday surprise. Her birthday is next week, and we'll be celebrating far away."
"Well you better have fun, because you left me here for months and then didn't invite me."
"Teddy! Stop mocking me!"
"Oh come on! Your birthday is next week and you aren't even going to celebrate?"
"I told you, birthdays are just another day on the calendar. Plus the only person I want to be with is somewhere on the east coast."
"Just because Callie isn't here, doesn't mean that we can't have a party."
"No party and I'm going home. I got the honor of an early shift tomorrow, and I'm done discussing no birthday plans."
"Fine, bye," Teddy called back with a smile on her face. There definitely was something planned, she just didn't know it.
"Mark, we're going to be late!"
"Callie, you worry too much. We'll make it, plus you don't even leave Seattle for two days."
"But I have to be there for girl's night. It's Arizona's big surprise, part one."
"Fine, let's go. Your luggage is already in the car.' They walked out of the house and to the car. They made their way to the airport and they shared a platonic hug in the parking lot.
"Have fun Callie, and don't fall too in love with Seattle. I still need you here in LA."
"Oh, whatever, bye Mark; have fun."
Callie made her way through security and walked to her seat. She always sat by the window for the reason that it relaxed her and it amazed her looking out at the clouds. She sent a quick 'I love you' text to Arizona before turning off her phone and she rested her head against the back of the chair.
Numerous people recognized her on the plane, but otherwise she had a nice flight into Washington. She turned on her phone and called Teddy to make sure that she was still coming for her. She then waited near baggage claim, with her suit cases, waiting for her blond haired friend.
"Callie! I'm so sorry that I'm late."
"It's okay. You don't look ready for a girl's night," Callie commented, looking at her scrubs clad friend.
"I had to rush out of the hospital. We are going to have to stop by my house before we meet Bailey and Arizona."
"Okay, I kind of want to change, too."
"You look fine; the flight was only a couple short hours. Oh well, let's go; my car is out front."
Once at Teddy's, she went to go change, and Callie also changed against the protests from Teddy. Callie put on a tight black pair of jeans, a form fitting crimson top, and her leather jacket. She put her knee high boots back on knowing that they would come off at the bowling alley.
"Are you ready to go? Teddy called from her room.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see Arizona. You're sure she doesn't know that I'm going to be there, right?"
"She was freaking out yesterday because you were somewhere on the east coast. She has no idea you're here."
"Okay, good."
They made it to the bowling alley having nice, light conversation. They talked about the trip Callie was taking Arizona on; and in no time, they made it to the bowling alley.
"Why don't you stay here for a couple minutes? I called earlier to make a reservation. We're on lane seven and everything's paid for. Just let them know your shoe size."
"Okay, sounds fair."
"Alright, I'll see you in a few," Teddy left the car with a smile. The element of surprise was something that Arizona hated. Everyone who knew her knew that.
"Teddy, I thought we weren't playing teams! I suck at bowling and we have uneven teams."
"No we don't Arizona calm down. We bowl for fun here."
"And maybe bragging rights," Bailey added.
"Fine, whatever, which 'team' starts?" Teddy noticed Callie walk into the alley and grab a pair of shoes, so she quickly pushed Arizona towards the lane.
"You get to! Take your time and focus on the pins!" Bailey couldn't help but laugh as Teddy was looking nervous. Teddy added Callie's name to Arizona's team and Callie made her way to the lane to put her shoes on.
Callie sat down in Arizona's empty chair, and they watched as she threw two gutter balls with a shiny pink ball. They all tried not to laugh at their friend trying so hard to bowl.
"Teddy, this is why this game isn't fair. You have Bailey and I'm…" She stopped talking as she turned around. "Calliope, what are you…? I thought you were in…"
'The tour ended a couple days ago. I flew back to LA last night, and Mark worked out all the details. We have very special plans coming up, but not until I kick all your butts at bowling."
"But Calliope…"
"Don't Calliope me."
"Come on, let's bowl! I have plans with Ben after this!"
The group had a great time bowling. Callie brought the game to a really close score, but Teddy and Bailey still won. They said their goodbyes outside of the building, and Teddy brought Callie's luggage to Arizona's car.
"I guess we're going to my place."
"That sounds nice," Callie cooed as she brought her girlfriend in for a deep passionate kiss. "I've missed you so much."
"I missed you too. I think Teddy was getting more than annoyed with me."
"I hope not. She helped us plan this whole thing. She's a good best friend."
"She knew about all of this? And she didn't tell me?"
"Of course, she wouldn't be that great if she told you."
"Well, how long are you here for?"
"Two days."
"Only two days?" Callie noticed Arizona's happy demeanor change instantly.
"Yep, and then you and I are gone for two weeks to a secret destination that we chose."
"Calliope, we're taking a vacation? But I have work."
"We have everything taken care of. She pulled a couple strings around the hospital, but we're going on a vacation!"
"What happens when we get back?"
"We'll figure it out. Stop worrying, this is supposed to be fun."
"I'm not worrying. I'm just…in shock…I thought you were across the country."
"I told you…the tour ended. I'm all yours now."
