She didn't know what to do, so she took the easy way out. She ran. Unfortunately he was a lot taller than her, and so she'd barely made it out the room when she felt a hand close around her elbow and drag her into an empty stairwell.

"You work here now?" His voice was somewhere between disbelief and amusement. But as far as Meredith could see, there was nothing funny about her current predicament.

"Yes, I do! And it would have been nice if you'd mentioned that to me!" She hissed angrily.

He smirked, "How was I supposed to know? Tony said 'bigger and better things' I could only have assumed that meant porn!"

Her mouth dropped open, what was it with this man and insulting her? She growled angrily and attempted to storm off. Unfortunately it would appear he was still clamping her to him by the elbow.

"No running away now, you came to find me for a reason."

She scowled, knowing he was right. He was her attending and he was the one who the parents wanted to talk to. And if that meant she had to talk to him as well, then she'd just have to deal with it.

"Look, Dr. Shepherd-"

"Dr. Shepherd? I much prefer Mr. Thursday. It's got more of a ring to it don't you think?"

She sighed. It wouldn't be half as annoying if he wasn't so darn charming. "Dr. Shepherd, this is inappropriate. You're an attending and I'm your intern. So stop looking at me like that!"

He smirked. "Like what?"

"Like you've seen me naked!"

"But I have. Maybe not as much as I'd like to, but I'm sure there's a situation we can find to rectify that."

"I came to find you to tell you that my patients parents want to speak to you. That's it; I have no desire to speak to you at all on a personal level, so excuse me Dr. Shepherd, but I have places to be." And with that she shoved the chart into his chest and strode away.


I hated writing this chapter, I really did, but it had to be done. I'll admit I stole quite a bit from the real show (I watched the stairwell scene three times to try and get this right). But anywho, now this bits over and done with, I can get on witht he real story!
