Walking into the bar with Amelia and Jessie, Arizona has to laugh, she hasn't done anything this spontaneous in a long time, she thinks as she looks around the bar full of women.

"Jess is that your friend?" Amelia asks when she sees a small dark haired woman waving at them. "Go get her and Arizona and I will grab drinks." She says leaning into her hair.

Jess gives her a quick kiss and threads her way through the crowd.

"Where's Jess going?" Arizona asks, she knows the bathroom is the other direction.

"She saw a friend, she's going to bring her over." Amelia says moving into the bar line.

"Oh no, Amelia, I didn't come here to be fixed up. I have date tomorrow," Arizona protests.

"Arizona, it's a first date, you probably haven't even kissed her yet, have you?" Amelia asks waiting to order their drinks.

"That's not any of your business. Okay, one drink and I'll meet her, but then I'm cabbing home." Arizona says when she gets a look at the woman, she looks smart and stylish.

"That's a girl!" Amelia says handing her a drink. "Now let's go meet her."

"Kara, this is Amelia and her friend Arizona." Jess says taking her drink from Amelia.

"Oh Kara, you need a drink. Jess, let's go get her a drink." Amelia says pulling Jess away.

Kara looks a little nervous as she moves a bit closer to the blonde. "I, uh, didn't know this was a set up. Jess just said come meet some friends." She explains.

"Oh same here." Arizona says returning the nervous smile. "Amelia and I met for a drink after work and next thing I knew we grabbed some dinner and now I'm at a bar to meet some friends," she adds.

"Okay well, good at least we're on the same page." Kara says obviously relieved. "So Arizona where do you work?"

"I work at Sloan-Grey, how about you? Where do you work?" Arizona asks.

"Sloan-Grey? The hospital?" Kara asks, "I work at Seattle Pres, wait, are you Arizona Robbins?" She asks.

"Uh, you've heard of me?" She asks a bit embarrassed.

" Yes, I have, I'm a Obstetric surgeon, you're the only Fetal Surgeon in our area, of course I know who you are." Kara replies.

"Have you been in Seattle long? I thought I meet all of the OB Surgeons in Seattle at the University program last year." Arizona asks.

"No, I just moved here from Minneapolis about six months ago. I did my residency at Hopkins. Aren't you a Hopkins grad too?" She asks.

"Yes, I am. Wow, do you want to trade numbers and meet for lunch or something?" Arizona asks pulling her phone out.

"Uh, yeah sure. I don't really know a lot of people here yet. And now my ex is coming out here next week, which is confusing. We agreed to break up when I took this job and moved out here, but now she's thinking of moving here and I'm not sure what I want. It's been hard moving here and not really knowing anyone, but I don't feel like I've really even tried. Which explains why I came out on short notice when Jess called." Kara says, "And now I'm embarrassed because I'm rambling nervously about my life."

"You know, let's just agree to lunch and get to know each other. I could definitely use a new friend, my ex works at my hospital and she did her residency there so everyone is her friend before they are mine, if you know what I mean." Arizona explains.

Amelia and Jess return and they notice that Kara is putting her number into Arizona's phone. "That was fast," Amelia leans over and whispers into Arizona's ear.

Arizona glares at her and shakes her head warning her to stop.

Amelia just laughs it off and pulls Jessie out on the dance floor.

"So how do you know Amelia, she's not your ex, I take it?" Kara asks as they move over away from the bar crowd where they can talk.

"Amelia moved here from LA a few years ago, she took over her brother Derek's service when he took another position in DC." Arizona tries to explain as easily as possible.

"Ah got it. Well, I'm sorry, I'm still kind of amazed to have met you like this. I have a note on my desk to call you at Sloan-Grey to set up a lunch meeting, Dr Woolstone suggested it, he's our Chief of Surgery." She explains.

"Yes, I know. I met him last year when I came over to perform an emergency valvuloplasty." Arizona replies.

"You're the one? I had just taken the job, they were really impressed with your work. But you haven't agreed to a contract?" Kara points out.

"It's complicated. I'm on the Board of Sloan-Grey and I'm in the ownership group. We all signed non-competes, but I still have privileges at all area hospitals, so please call if you need me." She replies reaching out to touch her arm.

Finishing her drink, Arizona notices that Kara is also done. "Would you like to get another drink or dance or something?"

"Honestly, I had a long day of back to back surgery and it's sort of hitting me right now. Any chance you'd be up for grabbing a drink somewhere a little quieter?" Kara asks.

"That sounds good, I know just the place." Arizona says, pulling out her phone and texting Amelia to let her know that she's leaving.

Walking outside, Arizona says, "There used to be a late night coffee house right around the corner, they have an amazing selection of tea too."

"An amazing selection of tea?" Kara teases, "I didn't know anyone still drank tea?"

"Well, I love coffee, but I've been trying to do better and one of my friends is a tea person, so she's been introducing me to it." Arizona explains.

"Oh look it's still here!" Kara says as they turn the corner. "I'll confess, I love tea. But now that I live in Seattle everyone's been making me drink coffee." She remarks laughing, "So, yay! tea."

Arizona looks over at the small brunette and smiles, a bit amazed that she just met someone not only interesting and attractive but someone she has a lot in common with too.


The next morning Arizona wakes up and checks her phone for messages. One from JJ, confirming their date tonight. One from Meredith telling her to have a great weekend. Amelia asking her if she's alone. And one from Kara saying she enjoyed meeting her.

Heading into the kitchen for coffee, Arizona reflects on the evening. She still can't believe that she has now met two interesting women in one week, after not meeting anyone in almost three years. "I guess you can't find what you're not looking for," she reminds herself.

Then looking over she sees her phone ringing. "Hey April," she says answering the call.

"I stopped by last night but you weren't home. I was going to see if you wanted help getting ready tonight, are you nervous? Where are you going to dinner?" She asks rapidly.

"JJ wants to go downtown, so I think we're just going to Ceviche on the Pier." Arizona replies calmly.

"Oh, so what are you wearing?" She asks.

"I've already got something in mind. Hey I have to tell you that I met another woman last night. She's a surgeon over at Seattle Pres." Arizona says.

"Wow, where did you meet her?" April asks surprised.

"At the bar, I went out with Amelia and her friend Jessie." Arizona replies, "Jessie invited her and get this, she's an Obstetric surgeon."

"Are you going to go out with her too?" April asks a little confused.

"Not exactly, she sort of has a girlfriend, but we're going to have lunch next week. You know Seattle Pres is the hospital that's trying to contract with me, so they can offer Fetal surgery." Arizona reminds her.

"Oh right, but the Avery Foundation won't sign off on it, they say it violates the non-compete clause. Jackson mentioned it to me. He also mentioned that you should get an attorney, he's talking to one himself about setting up a private practice, but don't tell anyone. He's just checking into it." She adds.

"Hmm, well maybe that's what I should look into as well. I am the only Fetal surgeon in the State of Washington." Arizona points out. "Maybe I'll ask JJ for a referral tonight."

"Don't ask her tonight. It's a date, don't talk business on your first real date." April cautions her.

"Oh you're right. Not to mention I sort of talked about Callie a lot during our lunch date. I'm kind of surprised she wanted to have dinner with me after that." Arizona remarks.


A soft knock on the door and Arizona crosses the room quickly to answer it.

"Hi," JJ says when she opens the door. "You look amazing." She adds.

"Thanks, and so do you. I love that color on you." Arizona replies as she steps back to grab her jacket off the chair.

JJ steps up and helps her and Arizona immediately smiles, she recognizes her scent, but can't quite place it. The taller woman has on a well fitting pair of jeans and a sharp pair of black leather boots that match her leather jacket. Her blouse is a deep green that really sets off her eyes.

Arizona chose a pair of jeans and low boots and a soft blue blouse that sets off her own eyes, She's sure that JJ knows about her leg, though they haven't discussed it. Of course anyone with Google knows about her leg, the accident comes up in the top five searches, even though she's asked the PR office to work on getting it to drop down off the top five. Maybe she should hire a media consultant, she wonders.

"Arizona?" JJ says as the blonde looks at her blankly.

"Oh god, I'm sorry. I just was distracted a minute. Um, I was just talking to one of my friends about something and I guess it's still on my mind." She says trying to explain it.

"Do you want to talk about it?" JJ asks her.

"No, no it's nothing. Let's get going." Arizona says smiling at her.

"Okay, well I hope you don't mind, I decided that since it's such a beautiful night, I drove the convertible."

"Oh wow, I didn't know people in Seattle drove convertibles. I went to high school near San Diego, so my first car was a convertible." Arizona admits. "No I don't mind."

Walking out to the car, Arizona is shocked. She did not expect a dark grey Corvette Convertible.

"Wow, it's beautiful." She remarks as JJ opens the door for her. The car sits really low, so she pauses a minute before climbing in. "Sorry, it's been a while since I've been in a sports car." She admits.

"Yeah, I forget how low it sits. You probably would be more comfortable in the SUV. I should have thought of that." JJ says as she moves around to get into the driver's side.

"No it's fine. My ex has a 56 T-bird convertible, she's from Miami. Rarely drives it here." Arizona remarks, then mentally kicks herself for mentioning Callie already. "Do you get to drive yours much?" She asks shifting the conversation back to JJ.

"More than I thought I would, but then we have covered parking at the office, so if it rains, I just leave it there and cab home." She explains.

"Oh, of course." Arizona replies.

The drive to the pier is nice, but the can't really talk in the car, so Arizona's mind wanders and she finds herself thinking of Kara, I bet she drives a regular car like I do, she thinks.

As they pull into the parking lot on the Pier, Arizona is surprised to see they have valet service, she never even noticed it before. Probably because it's been so long since she's gone out on Saturday night. And she and Callie never really came down to the Pier much, it always seemed full of tourists.

JJ takes her arm and helps her out of the vehicle, her strong hands linger on her waist and Arizona realizes how long it's been since another woman has touched her like that. She flushes a bit thinking about it, JJ doesn't really notice because she's talking to the Valet and letting him know that she knows exactly how many miles are on her vehicle and they had better not drive it any further than needed to park it and then she hands him a tip, promising him another tip if he takes care of her car.

Arizona smiles tightly, this is why she doesn't like sports cars, too stressful. Who needs more things to worry about, she wonders.

"Okay, sorry. I always remember those horror stories about valet's and sports cars," she explains.

"Oh sure." Arizona remarks as they begin to walk towards the restaurant.


In the bathroom, Arizona didn't really have to go, she just needed a break from JJ. Apparently she's really nervous tonight, because she's acting completely different than the relaxed person that the blonde met last weekend. Tonight, she not only gave the valets a hard time, now she's sent back two bottles of wine, one because it had a little cork in it, which, okay that's a thing for some people, but the second one was fine, but Arizona commented that she didn't really care for it and next thing she knows JJ's calling the server back over to switch it out. Thank god they didn't go to a fancy restaurant, Arizona thinks.

Heading back to the table, Arizona silently prays that JJ has settled down.

"Here, try this one and see if you like it better than the other one?" JJ says offering her the glass of wine.

"Hmm, yes. It's great." She says smiling at her.

"You're sure?" JJ asks.

"Yes, now relax. You're making me nervous." Arizona blurts out.

"Uh, sorry. I should mention that I have some control issues, Charlotte is really good at chilling me out, but she was working today and I didn't get to see her before I picked you up. She warned me about the convertible tonight, she knows it keys me up. But I thought it would be a great night for it and well, we live in Seattle and we don't get many great nights for it." JJ explains.

"You were so laid back last week when we met, but tonight you seem really stressed out. I'm sorry that you find this stressful, I thought casual would help us relax." Arizona replies carefully trying to tell her to chill out.

"Arizona I'm sorry. Tell you what, let me just take a minute and I'll be right back, okay?" JJ says and jumps up to leave.

Unsure what to think, Arizona pulls her phone out and checks it. She has a text from Amelia, "We got Kara out again tonight and she needs you to rescue her!" Then her phone beeps again and it's a photo of Kara in front of a tray of shots. Her phone beeps again and it's from Kara. "I'm so sorry. I know you're out at dinner, ignore them!"

Laughing, Arizona doesn't notice when JJ sits back down. "Everything okay?" She asks.

"Yes, my friend Amelia out with her girlfriend, I went out with them last night and they're out again tonight. I'm sorry, I just heard my phone beep and I checked it since you were gone." She explains.

"Do you want to go meet up with them? I'll be honest, I haven't gone out to a club in a long time." JJ remarks, "but it might be fun." She adds.

"No, it's fine. I don't go out much either and I was literally just there last night." She says taking a sip of the wine again.

"You don't think I'll be any fun, because I'm so stressed out tonight." JJ replies.

"Not at all, JJ. It's fine." Arizona says and smiles brightly at her, what did Amelia just tell her, 'fake it til you make it'?

Finally they order their food and she asks JJ several questions to get her talking so maybe she'll relax and she does, but then she talks too much and Arizona can hardly focus, she's saved when the food arrives.

They eat in relative silence, the food is good thank god and once they're done eating, Arizona realizes that JJ's going to want to walk down the pier, hopefully not to the Ferris Wheel. She really doesn't want to ride that tonight.


Finally at home Arizona feels terrible. She knows that JJ was stressed out because she planned the perfect first date, but it was a disaster and she tried to go along with it as much as possible, but she knew the point of the Ferris Wheel was to have a romantic first kiss and by the end of the evening she wasn't feeling it. So she did the best worst thing she could think of, she faked a prosthetic problem. She really had to get out of the date, but now sitting in her tub trying to relax, she feels bad about it. Her phone beeps. She's scared to look at it, it could be JJ apologizing again. Then it beeps again.

Curious, Arizona grabs her phone and reads the message. Oh shit, she carefully gets out of the tub and gets dressed, praying that her socket will slide back on after the hot bath. It does just barely and she rushes out of the house.

Her phone rings as she's getting in the car. "Where are they taking her?" Arizona asks as she answers the phone. "Okay, do you want me to come by and pick you up?" She asks.

"No, I'm going to get Jess back to my place and I can suture her cut there and save us the trip to the ER, but Arizona, Amelia was hurt too. The bouncer probably dislocated her shoulder when he restrained her." Kara explains. "I'm sorry, I tried to head it off, but that other woman was crazy. Amelia had to defend herself and the bouncers just over reacted."

"Okay, well I'll go bail her out and if it's dislocated I might be able to put it back in, but my ex is an ortho, so one way or another I will get her fixed up tonight. Thank you for calling me." She adds.

"I'm sorry, hope we didn't interrupt your date." Kara says before hanging up.

"Oh this is still better than my date. I'll call you tomorrow." Arizona says before hanging up and calling Jo, now that she's an ortho resident it won't hurt to have her look at Amelia's shoulder.
