A/N: Okay, I'm going to be out of town till Thursday. So, leave some love, and there will be MANY more updates when I come back! Thanks again for reading!!!!!! Remember: COMMENTS ARE THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!!!! Haha


Alex and Derek are sitting in the waiting room 5 seats away from each other.

"Why are you worried about Meredith all of a sudden?" Derek couldn't stand Meredith liking another guy! He was Alex Karev! He was a total pig! Meredith could not be falling for him…could she?

"That's none of your business." Alex did not want Derek knowing that he was in love with Meredith. If he told him that, he would only be adding more fuel to the fire. And eventually, everything would be burning down…


Meredith is sitting on the bathroom floor with Izzie

"Have you talked to Alex since he told you?" Izzie loved Meredith's love life: it always kept her entertained.

"No," Meredith dug her fingernails into her palm, "I've been trying to avoid him."

"That's stupid! If you don't talk to him he's going to think you have no feelings for him what so ever!"

"What if I don't?"

Izzie gave Meredith a face. "Come on Mer, everyone knows you have SOME feelings towards Alex."

Meredith sighed. Izzie was right; she did have some feelings for him. But, she didn't know how much "some" was.

"I didn't even get to finish my ice cream; I'm getting chips from the vending machine, want any?"

Meredith nodded. "Give me Twinkies, sun chips, a can of coke, Oreos, and those little bite size brownie packs."

Izzie grinned at Meredith; finally she wasn't going to look like a complete pig in front of her! Izzie loved food, and Meredith barley ate, so she always looked like her only comfort was food…which technically it was. "Okay, I'll be right back."

Meredith sunk down on the bathroom floor. She was sick of boys, sick of the pregnancy, and sick of life itself. Why couldn't things be easy for ONE SECOND?! She started twirling her hair, thinking about her twins, and hoping that they would both be alright.


Izzie jammed 5 dollars into the vending machine.

"Come on you stupid machine, WORK!" Izzie kicked the machine then was startled when Derek walked up to her.

"Oh, Dr. Shepherd, hello."

"Hi." Derek took the 5 dollar bill, turned it around, and let it slide into the machine.

"Wo," Izzie stared at the vendor, "How did you do that?"

"So I guess you're the definition of a dumb blonde?"

Izzie shot Derek a look then laughed. "I'm just tired."

Derek smiled. Izzie was very attractive, but he would never be attracted towards her. He already loved Meredith, he couldn't love another girl the same way he loved Meredith…right?

"Well, I better go, Meredith is starving."

"Meredith's in there with you?"

"Yeah, but I think she wants to be alone."

"Oh, of course."

"So are you and Alex beating each other up in there?"

"We were about to but I figured I would just come help you with the vending machine."

Izzie laughed, "Well, thank you, I'll see you later."

"Bye."

Izzie walked towards with bathroom with the snacks in her hands. Did she just flirt with Derek Shepherd? No, she couldn't have! Derek was the last person she thought she would flirt with! Plus, she already had George, who was currently with Callie! Izzie sighed then walked into the bathroom shaking her head from the thought that she could possibly be attracted to Derek.


The Chief was at his desk doing paperwork when he heard noise coming from the lobby. He walked down to find Alex and Derek sitting on opposite ends of the room, ignoring each other.

"Derek? What are you still doing here? I thought you left."

"Yeah, actually I think I'm staying here for a little while."

Alex rolled his eyes, if only that idiot would leave!

"Wow, that's fantastic!" Richard grinned, then started singing under his breathe, "My top nuero-surgeon isn't leaving, my top nuero-surgeon isn't leaving!"

Derek smiled, he knew Richard would be dancing around the entire hospital if he could, because let's face it; he was his top neuro-surgeon.

Alex shook his head at the chief, sure Derek was a great surgeon, but the hospital wouldn't fall to pieces if he left! To Alex, everything would be a whole lot easier if he would just leave.

"Well I better go finish my paper work!" The chief danced out of the lobby, still singing his song under his breathe.

Alex looked at Derek, "You know you're not as great as you think you are."

"Excuse me?"

"I know who you are. You're the overly confident-I'm the best in the world- no one can stop me-dude. You're cocky."

Derek shot Alex a look. This creep was NOT calling him cocky. "I'M cocky?! You know I thought we could handle this like mature adults but I guess we can't, so I feel more than obligated to kicking your ass right here right now."

Alex laughed. "Dude, I went to Iowa, I got a scholarship from wrestling. I could kick your ass any day!"

"I'd like to see you try tough boy!"

Alex and Derek charged at each other, fists flying, legs kicking. Meredith and Izzie ran out of the bathroom to separate the fight.

Izzie exhaled deeply then said to Derek, "I wasn't serious!"
