So I'm finally getting the writing-urge, or whatever it's called, again. Probably because all I have left now is a French test. And also because of all the lovely reviews I've gotten. Keep them coming, I would love to know what you think!

Chapter 10

"So.. Who is going to come with me and find Cristina and Alex?" Derek said. Izzie was about to volunteer, but after seeing George's face, she didn't.

"You can just go with Meredith, and we'll stay and see if they return." Izzie said and put her hand around George just to see if they were okay.

"Great idea." Meredith smiled and looked at the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with. They didn't tell Izzie and George right away. She wanted to tell Cristina first... It seemed to be their thing. Besides, she didn't quite know how Cristina was going to react. After her almost-wedding or whatever.

"Let's go." Derek said and literally pulled Meredith out the front door.

When they were finally safe on the outside, he pulled her into his arm and kissed her.

"Why didn't you tell Izzie and George?" He looked curious, but not in anyway angry or disappointed.

"Well.. the thing is." Meredith didn't know how to say it.

"You want to tell Cristina first? Because she's your.. what was it again? Oh, she's your person." Derek smiled.

"You know about that? Are you like psychic?" She was shocked. How could he know about the person-thing?

"Burke told me... When he proposed to Cristina. She kept on saying that she had to tell you first. You were her person. And then you..." Derek looked down at her with his sad eyes.

"Drowned. But I need to tell her first. Not only because she is my person, but also because it might be hard for her to handle. The last wedding she has been to, was her own. And that didn't end exactly like planned." Meredith said.

"Yeah." Derek took her hand and walked her towards the car.

"Besides, she might even cry when I tell her that she has to be a bridesmaid, with the dress and all." She smiled a bit, because she was determent on keeping this a happy day.

"We're going to have bridesmaids? With big, fluffy dresses and flowers in their hair?" Derek couldn't quite picture Cristina with a daisy in her hair and a yellow dress.

"Maybe. Depends." Meredith said.

"On what?" Derek looked at her and saw the big smile on her mouth. She was really happy.

"I depends on how much I want to torture them!" Then they both got in the car and drove away from the house.

There was nothing on the radio, so Derek put on a CD. If was one by The Fray. He knew it was Meredith's favourite. Some say their songs all sound alike, but it's all about the lyrics. She'd said on one of their first dates.

"Oh, I love this song!" Meredith said out loud when she heard what album that was playing.

"I know." Derek smiled as he saw his wife-to-be sing along to her favourite song.

"Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh, be my baaaby!" Meredith smiled at Derek and then he also started singing.

"I'll look after yoooouu!" They couldn't help but laugh. Their voices were terrible, but they didn't care.

when I'm loosing my control, the city spins around. you're the only one who knows, you slow it down.

"Derek! Stop! Here's the liquor store." Meredith shouted. But both of them were shocked when they saw that is was closed.
"So.. They aren't here anymore.. What do we do?" Derek asked.
"Look! Our car, it's parked over there. But they are not in it." Meredith said. shit.
"Maybe they got a ride?" Derek suggested.
"Well, they would either be home by now, or we would have seen them pass us." Meredith was starting to freak out. This was how every horror movie began.
"Oh, wait! I can see footsteps in the snow." Derek walked out of the car.
"Wow, Sherlock. You should've been a detective." Meredith stepped out of the car and felt the cold air against her skin. It was freezing!
"Well, it was my dream as a child." Derek said.
"Really?" Meredith raised her eyebrows. "That's so cool. I wanted to be Nancy Drew."
"We're meant to be." Derek said smiling and he took her hand. "Now we just have to follow the footsteps, and we'll find them just like that, Ms. Drew."
"Call me Nancy," Meredith laughed.
