Author note: This was originally part of chapter nine but I chose to split it in half.

Disclaimer: who knows anymore?

Once Teddy got into her room with her school bag, she looked at her mobile that she had left on her desk that morning; it said she had a text message. It read: 'me, Cal, Izz, Cris + Mer are all going hive at 4. You in? Ari x' the hive was the local shopping centre that they often visited.

Teddy looked at her clock; it was almost four. Teddy thought that she could do with a few relaxed hours out with her friends; she only had one piece of homework and could do it when she got back. She typed a message back saying that she was in but would be late and to start shopping without her and that she would find them. She knew she would be late as it was almost four and she had a ten minute bus ride to get there.

She slid her phone into her pocket along with her purse and grabbed her keys from her desk.

She walked into the lounge to talk to her mother "Is it alright if I go to the hive and meet some friends?"

"Actually, I was going to go so do you want a lift?" her mother offered.

Teddy didn't know if her mother was just saying that to be able to spend some time with her or she was in fact planning on going shopping. "Sure, thanks"

Within three minutes the two Altman girls were in the car and on the way to the shopping centre.

It took a little longer than planned for Teddy to get to the hive as it took a while for her mother to find a place to park.

"Thanks mum" Teddy thanked as she went to get out of the parked car.

"Do you want a lift home? You could just text me when you are done, I'm just going to be walking and looking around" her mother offered.

"No thanks, I'll get the bus back with Arizona; I don't know how long we will be" Teddy replied then lent over to her mother and kissed her on the cheek.

"I'll see you at home then. I might pick up something for dinner"

Teddy nodded and left the car and walked into the shopping centre.

She text Arizona that she was there and asked which shop they were in. Teddy got a reply and headed to that shop.

Within three minutes of searching she heard Izzie squealing about something and Cristina grumbling under her breath.

As she turned the corner she saw Meredith holding a dress up against herself with her friends standing around her sharing their opinions.

"Hey, what's happening?" Teddy asked referring to the not so Meredith like dress being held by Meredith.

Everyone turned to Teddy and Callie filled her in "We are looking for a dress that Meredith can wear for her one year celebratory date of being with Derek" Callie almost sounded amused.

"Cristina help me out here; what do you think? This one or the last one?" Meredith questioned her person.

"Look Mer…" she was cut off by Izzie.

"Mer you want to look hot for your anniversary don't you? Go for this dress; it's perfect" Izzie almost squealed.

Teddy heard an almost inaudible sentence from Cristina "If you want to look like a teletubby" she was referring to the colour of the dress, which Teddy had to agree with, if she were to wear this dress she would look like Laa-laa.

"Meredith this is your celebration, your night, your dress; pick the one you like" Callie interjected after seeing the fed up look on Arizona's face, Teddy felt sympathetic; she had only been there a short while and she was starting to lose her patients, she can't imagine how Arizona feels.

Meredith bit her lip for a few seconds then said "I like the blue one in the other shop" everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Meredith put down the dress she was holding.

"Right, how about we go there after we get a drink?" Arizona offered.

Everyone nodded and they headed to Joes the café where the whole gang like to hang out after school and at the weekends.

Once the group neared the front of the queue Callie, who could see that her girlfriend was fed up and most probably wanted to just go and sit down, offered to buy Arizona something while she finds a table. Arizona was so grateful and nodded; she kissed her ever caring girlfriend on the cheek, let go of her hand and proceeded to wheel off to a table; she wouldn't be Arizona if she wasn't wearing her wheelie sneakers. Seeing her girlfriend do this bought a smile to Callie's face, Arizona never failed to bring a smile to her face.

Once the group had settled at the table Arizona had saved for them the girls started to chat.

"So, I saw you and Henry today on the way home" Izzie informed Teddy whilst giving a little shove with her elbow.

Teddy knew what she was getting at; she must have seen them holding hands. "Yeah, that's probably because we walked home together" Teddy felt uncomfortable talking about herself.

The other members at the table where all slightly confused at Izzie's action of nudging Teddy.

"Oh, come on! You were holding hands!" Izzie practically screamed letting the whole world know.

Just hearing this bought a smile to Arizona's face; she liked the idea of Teddy finally having a boyfriend. She deserved someone.

Teddy couldn't really deny it, plus just thinking about what had happened on the way home from school just a few hours before brought a huge not so concealed smile to her face. "Um, yeah we were holding hands" Teddy stated as she ate a crumb of her cupcake that she had bought.

"Well that smile doesn't look like just holding hands" Cristina sarcastically stated.

"Did he kiss you?" Meredith butted in.

"Who are you my mother?" Teddy tried to brush off all the attention; no one got the sibilance so she had to continue "No, we haven't kissed"

Callie continued "Then why the goofy grin?" Arizona promptly lightly elbowed her in the ribs; she was glad Teddy was smiling, even if she did have a goofy grin.

"He asked me to be his girlfriend"

"Oh yay, you said yes right?" Izzie gushed.

"Of course she did, otherwise why would she have a goofy grin?" Cristina stated dryly. Cristina wouldn't let the others know it but she also quite liked the fact that Teddy had found someone; she had felt a slight pang of guilt for basically taking Owen away from Teddy, they had been pretty close friends.

Callie seeing Teddy's discomfort changed the conversation topic "So, Meredith do you know where Derek is taking you for your one year anniversary?"

Teddy was utterly thankful for the attention being taken away from her.

By the time Teddy got home after taking the bus with Arizona, her mother was preparing dinner; however, her dad wasn't home, not that she expected him to be.

"Hey mum" Teddy had felt like she had been saying that a lot lately, she liked it; her mum was becoming a person in her life again and not just a name.

"Did you have a nice time shopping? Get anything good?" she queried as she ate a piece of pepper she had just finished chopping that was to go on a cheese pizza she had bought for dinner.

"Yeah, it was good; Meredith finally chose a dress after what seemed like days of searching. I guess she just wanted the perfect one for her one year anniversary with Derek" Just thinking about her two friends being together for a whole year made her think about what it would be like to have been with Henry for a year.

If only she knew what that year would bring.
