Chapter 9: Strange

"Have anything interesting today?" Izzie asked as she walked over to the coffee cart, seeing Cristina standing near by.

"No," Cristina answered bitterly, "I'm a surgeon and I don't have any surgeries. What kind of surgeon doesn't have any surgeries?"

Izzie shrugged her shoulders as she paid for her coffee and walked over to stand next to Cristina, "I have a premie case with Shepherd," she said, acting as though Cristina had been considerate enough to ask, "We're placing a shunt in her brain in about two hours."

"Oh, that's real fair. Fairy princess gets a cool surgery with Shepherd and I get battered car crash victims," she answered sarcastically before dumping her empty bag of cheetos in the trash.

Cristina started walking down the hall and Izzie quickly caught up with her, "Hey, do you know what's going on with Shepherd?"

"What are you talking about, Barbie?"

"He's been happy," Izzie said with an odd face, "Haven't you noticed?"

"Oh yes," Cristina said sarcastically, "I make a point of staring at him and watching his movements every second of my day."

"No, seriously," Izzie said persistently, "It's strange."

Cristina grabbed a few cardio charts and began looking through them, searching for a good surgery to steal, "Maybe he's finally getting laid again. Good for him. It's about time."

"No, it's not an 'I just had sex' kind of happy. It's something else. It's just weird. Isn't it?"

Cristina closed one of the charts and placed it back, but took another with her, "It's weird that you care."
