Cristina ransacked her locker. She needed to find toothpaste and her toothbrush. Clothes, empty food bags, and her other possessions went flying to the floor. She needed to find her toothbrush. She couldn't talk to Burke like this, not with his taste still in her mouth. In some part of her mind, Cristina knew she sounded and looked insane to Meredith and Alex, but the matter of toothpaste seemed of utmost importance.

" Cristina, what are you looking for?" Meredith had her concerned person voice on right now, but Cristina was not focusing on that. She was focusing on the still missing toothbrush and toothpaste.

"She's not going to lay down on the bathroom floor is she?"

"No that's what Izzie does. Cristina might kill Cardio God though." Ha! She had found her toothbrush. Now there was only the toothpaste left.

"So he's going to die by toothbrush?" Alex sounded slightly disturbed.

" Cristina, if you tell me what you're looking for, I'll help you."

"No, it's fine. I'm fine. Go talk to McDreamy in an elevator or something." Cristina examined the pile of clothes on the floor. Her locker was empty; it had to be in there.

"Yang, you're totally not fine. Some old dude just kissed you." She flicked him an evil glance before returning to her search. There it was in a jacket pocket.

She grabbed the toothpaste and went to the sink where she began furiously brushing. In the mirror she saw Meredith and Alex looking very scared. Whatever, she had to brush her teeth. Brush, rinse, repeat. Over and over until she couldn't taste him anymore, until she couldn't even remember the taste of him.

"Why is Yang brushing her teeth?"

"Maybe it's another form of denial or whatever." Shut up Meredith.

"Should we stop her?"

"She might hurt us." She would.

It wasn't gone. She could still remember what happened when he kissed her. A receding back, angry broad shoulders, and a rainbow colored scrub cap. The plan as it happened had failed miserably. Now she had to brush her teeth. It was three steps, simple and finite. She needed to continue doing this because it was logical and made sense. People brushed their teeth all the time. It was healthy and maybe if she was lucky she would forget about the back too.

"Why in the heck is Yang brushing her teeth?" Bailey had arrived.
