"Mission Impossible"
By Batmobile

11:00 A.M.

"Score?"

"60 to 50."

"Who's winning?"

"Addison is." Ellie said, sighing. "She hit George again."

"Poor George." Izzie said, following Ellie out of the bathroom.

"I guess."

Izzie laughed. "You're mad because she's winning, aren't you?"

"Wouldn't you be?"

Izzie shrugged. "I guess." Ellie smiled and put one finger to her lips as George came out of a patient's room. He was walking away from them, so Ellie took aim, but before she could pull the trigger, a stream of water hit her in the side. Ellie jumped and accidentally pulled the trigger, but her aim was now off, and she hit Meredith as she was coming around the corner.

"No." Ellie hissed, dropping the gun. "Damn it. 9 years. 9 years!"

"9 years?" Izzie asked as George went to find Meredith a towel.

"In the 9 years we've been doing this, I haven't once had bad aim; I haven't once hit the wrong person. Damn it!" Ellie picked up the water gun and shoved it in her coat pocket. "It's an automatic 5 point deduction if you hit someone not on the list and another 15 points if you completely miss the person you were aiming for." Ellie kicked the wall and turned to Addison, who was leaning in the doorway of an empty room. "You suck."

"Aren't you even worried about your sister?" Addison asked one hand on her hip.

Ellie turned to look at Meredith, who had a towel pressed against her upper chest and neck. "She's fine. Besides, she totally deserved it, she set me up earlier."

Addison shrugged. "Whatever. You get off at six tonight, right?" Ellie nodded. "Good. That means that half-time is in one hour. And since the score is now 80 to 30..." Addison smirked. "My suggestion is that you catch up."

12:00 P.M.

Meredith leaned against the sink, still a little shocked that she was involved in this. "Half time." She said, grinning at Ellie. "The final score for the first half is 110 to 100. Advantage goes to Eliot Grey."

"What? No…I want justification." Addison snapped. "There's no way…"

"Okay, okay…justification…" Izzie stepped up to the score board. "Addison Shepherd hit Derek Shepherd twice, George O'Malley twice, and Eliot Grey three times for a total of 100 points. Eliot Grey hit Derek Shepherd three times, George O'Malley twice, and Addison Shepherd four times for a total of 130 points. Grey received a penalty of 20 points for hitting Meredith Grey in the upper neck and chest, bringing her final total to 110 points."

"Damn." Addison turned to Ellie. "I didn't actually want you to catch up with me."

Ellie smiled. "Then don't suggest it." Addison made a face and Ellie laughed. "You still have the second half.

"You'd better watch yourself next half."

Izzie laughed as Ellie stepped back, lifting her arms in a 'bring it on' fashion. "Okay…water guns." She said, holding out her hands. "You'll get them back at one o'clock."

Addison cocked one eyebrow. "Why are you taking our guns? We can certainly control ourselves."

"Against each other, sure." Meredith said, grinning. "But George and Derek have asked that we confiscate them."

"But…"

"They just want a break." Izzie said. "Derek was soaked the last time I saw him. Just give them an hour break."

Addison rolled her eyes and handed Izzie the two water guns she was carrying. "This is ridiculous."

"Addie, it's only an hour." Ellie said, handing her two water guns to Meredith. "It's not a big deal."

Addison sighed. "Fine. You want to get lunch?"

"Yeah. Iz?"

Izzie shrugged. "I've got a patient to check on but I might show up after."

"Okay." Ellie followed Addison out of the bathroom, leaving Ellie and Meredith alone.

"What am I, chopped liver?"

Izzie laughed. "You really want to eat lunch with Addison Shepherd?"

Meredith made a face. "No."

"Well there you go then."

Meredith nodded. "You know they're going to kill us for this, right?"

Izzie nodded. "Yeah."

Alex and Cristina were seated together at a table when Ellie came up to the table, a tray in each hand.

"Mind if I sit?"

Alex shook his head. "All that ducking and shooting made you pretty hungry…"

Ellie laughed. "One is for Addison. She's getting back-ups."

"Back-ups?" Cristina asked as Ellie sat down.

"Yeah. Meredith and Izzie took our water guns since it's half-time, but Addison swears that they're going to give them to Derek and George, so she wanted back-ups."

"Gotcha."

"What do you find so interesting about acting like children?" Alex asked.

"I don't know." Ellie said, taking the bite of the sandwich from one tray and pouring salad dressing on the salad that was on the other tray. "It makes us more comfortable. Some surgical wards are so stuffy."

"I guess." Alex watched as Ellie put half the sandwich in the lid of the salad container and scooped half of the salad on to the sandwich plate. "What are you doing?"

"Splitting the food." Alex cocked one eyebrow. "We do it all the time. Addison will never eat the whole salad and I wont be able to finish a whole sandwich."

"You two are like an old married couple." Alex said as Addison reached the table.

"Who's like an old married couple?" Addison asked, sitting down and taking one of the trays while sliding Ellie two water guns.

"You two." Alex said.

Addison laughed. "I guess you could say that. We're pretty much as close as two straight women can get." Alex laughed. "Can you two keep an eye out for Derek and George for us?"

"Sure." Alex said. Cristina nodded in agreement.

"Thanks."

"So, how about some more stories?" Cristina asked, grinning.

"About what?"

Before Cristina could say anything, Alex's eyes widened. "Go!" He hissed, looking behind Ellie and Addison. Both women spun around, water guns in hand, only to be hit by streams of water. Ellie stuck her arm up so that she could see George, took aim and hit him in the chest. The stream of water closest to her face stopped and she stood, aiming one gun at George's chest and one near his face.

"You wanna go?" George asked, grinning.

"Bring it on, cretino." George cocked one eyebrow and pulled the trigger at the same time that Ellie did.

"How did you get Stevens and Grey to agree to take our water guns?" Addison asked, both water guns pointed at Derek.

"The promise of scrubbing in on my next two surgeries."

Addison stood, taking a step towards Derek. "That's pretty low, Derek." She took a step to her right, and he stepped to his.

"Why? I like seeing you wet." Addison glared, Derek laughed, and they managed to pull the trigger at the same time.

Richard came in to the cafeteria, talking to Burke, unaware of what was going on.

"What the hell…?" Burke stopped and stared at the sight before them.

"Oh no…" Richard shook his head and looked down, then jumped when he heard a shriek. Ellie's heels slipped on all the water that was on the floor, and she began to fall. Her hand reached out for something to hold on to, and she ended up taking Derek down with her. All water guns stopped, and Addison and George's laughter rang out in the cafeteria. Ellie and Derek looked at each other, and then at Addison and George, and burst in to laughter as well.

George knelt down next to Ellie as Addison helped Derek stand. "Are you okay?"

"Mmmhmmm…" Ellie nodded and pulled George close to her by the collar of his wet coat, kissing his water drenched lips and running her fingers through his soaking wet hair.

"Are you alright?" Addison asked as she helped Derek to his feet.

"Yeah. I'm good." Derek leaned in and kissed her, running his hands through her hair and over her back, making her already clingy black clothes cling to her body even more.

Cristina and Alex, both of whom had been laughing, sobered when they saw Meredith standing with Izzie on the other side of the room, an upset look on her face.

"Oh no." Cristina whispered.

"Which one is she upset about?" Alex asked, watching as Addison and Derek were leaving hand-in-hand, and George helped Ellie to her feet and then led her out of the room, his arm around her.

"I don't know." Cristina said, watching Meredith storm out of the cafeteria. "I just know it's going to be bad."

2:00 P.M.

"Why didn't they just tell me?" Meredith asked as she and Izzie stood waiting for an ambulance that was on its way.

"It just happened like yesterday, Meredith. Give them a break."

"I just would have rather they told me. And seeing McDreamy kissing her in the middle of the cafeteria didn't exactly help."

Izzie rolled her eyes as the ambulance pulled up and they flung open the doors. "What have we got?"

"Car accident, caused by the guy coming in the next ambulance. She's 4 months pregnant, and completely stable, but the baby…"

Izzie nodded. "Meredith, you take this one. I'll wait." Meredith nodded and took the young woman in to the hospital.

"What've we got?" Ellie asked, catching up with Meredith. She was still unaware that Meredith had been at the scene in the cafeteria.

"You're not cleared." Meredith snapped.

"I'm not cleared for surgery Dr. Grey. What've we got?"

Meredith sighed. "Car accident…she's stable, but she's 4 months pregnant."

"Okay. Push one of Demerol, get an ultrasound machine, and page Addison Shepherd." Ellie headed for the other gurney as Meredith followed her orders. As Meredith picked up the phone to page Addison she heard Ellie yell, "Someone call Derek Shepherd!"

"She's not cleared."

"Addison, I need her in this surgery." Derek said as he scrubbed his arms. "You have to clear her."

"There are plenty of other surgeons."

"Addie, she knows how to do this procedure. I don't have the time, or the patience, to teach someone else right now."

Addison sighed. "Derek…"

"Addison." Richard came in to the room as Addison tied Derek's mask on. "Clear Grey."

"Richard, she just got out of the hospital."

"I know, but she knows this procedure and Derek needs her in there." Richard shoved the paperwork at Addison. "Clear her."

Addison sighed. "Fine."

Derek let out a held in breath. "Thank God." He pushed backwards through the door and made eye contact with Ellie. "Scrub in." He said, backing in to the OR. Ellie raced in to the other room and began to scrub her arms.

Addison helped Ellie tie her mask on as Ellie dried her arms. "Thank you." Ellie said, her voice slightly muffled.

"Yeah, well, you owe me."

Ellie smiled with her eyes as she backed out of the room. "I'll give you free aim."

Addison laughed as Ellie left, and then turned to Richard. "I can't believe you made me do that."

"She knows how to do this procedure, Addie. This guy would die if Derek had to take the time to teach someone new how to fix decerebration on this guys cerebrum."

Addison sighed. "I know, but I was very clear about her not being cleared until the ninth, and…"

Richard grinned. "Addison, think about it this way…she gave you free aim."

4:00 P.M.

"Richard, please…"

"Derek…"

"You have to let me scrub in on this surgery."

"It's a cardiac surgery, Derek. You don't need to be in there."

"You don't understand. It's crunch time. There are only two hours left. I'm going to get soaked."

Richard sighed. "You can sit in the observation deck, but there's no reason for you to scrub in."

"The observation deck isn't going to do me any good. They can still hit me in there!"

Richard laughed. "I'm not letting you scrub in on a cardiac surgery, so you can either hang out in the observation deck or run through the halls hiding from them. Your choice."

Derek sighed and left Richards office, only to run directly in to Ellie. "Please, don't shoot."

Ellie laughed. "I'm not going to shoot. I don't even have my water guns. I had to give Addison free aim for the last half an hour."

"Why?"

"Because she cleared me for surgery two days before she should have."

Derek nodded. "Well thank God she did. I don't know what I would have done if it were just Meredith and I in that OR."

Ellie smiled. "She's a good surgeon, Derek."

He looked taken aback. "I didn't say she wasn't. But she doesn't know how to fix decerebration, and you do."

"Only because you taught me."

Derek smiled. "This is true. Hey, so what was going on with you two? She wouldn't talk to you afterwards."

"I know." Ellie sighed. "I just got her to talk to me like 5 minutes ago. She was upset that I didn't tell her about George."

Derek raised one eyebrow. "Really?"

Ellie nodded as they continued down the hall. "That's what she said, but I think she doesn't like that I'm dating one of her friends. I think she thinks that Addison and I are going to turn him against her or something."

Derek laughed. "Sometimes she's so…"

"What?" Meredith walked out of a patients room, stopping Ellie and Derek in their tracks. "Sometimes I'm so what?"

Derek made a face. "Nothing. I wasn't going to say anything. I didn't have a word to stick there."

Meredith rolled her eyes. "I don't think you're going to corrupt George." She said, turning to Ellie. "I think you and he are good together."

Ellie sighed. "But you think Addisons going to corrupt him, don't you?"

Meredith leaned against the wall. "Can you blame me?"

"Yeah. There's no reason for you to think that." Ellie sighed. "If anyone's going to corrupt George it's you."

"What does that mean?" Meredith snapped. Derek was beginning to get very uncomfortable, and started to inch away, unnoticed.

"It means that all you ever do is talk about other people. George thought that Derek was horrible, he thought that Addison was Satan, and if I hadn't convinced him otherwise, he'd still think that." Ellie sighed. "You don't give George the chance to get to know other people. You baby him like he's naïve and your little brother, and he's not!"

Derek turned around and began to head the other direction when he ran in to Addison. "Don't shoot me." He whispered, steering her away from Ellie and Meredith. "And you don't want to go down there."

"I have to check on a patient. And I wasn't going to shoot you."

"Find another way to check on your patient. You do not want to walk past them."

"Who?"

Derek leaned against the wall. "Eliot and Meredith."

Addison looked down the hall. "What's going on?"

"You making out with George in the middle of the cafeteria was not how I wanted to find out!"

"I wasn't making out with George!"

"And the four of you were soaking wet and making fools of yourselves…"

Ellie cleared her throat. "First of all, do not drag Addison and Derek in to this. This is about you and me. Second…we like making fools of ourselves, and third, what do you care if we were in the middle of the cafeteria soaking wet?"

"This is my hospital, Ellie. I was here first, and how am I supposed to maintain respect if my older sister is having water gun fights?"

Ellie sighed. "Uh, one, I was having a water gun fight with an attending, and she was making as big of a fool of herself as I was, and two, you never had respect in this hospital. You walked in here the daughter of a world-renowned surgeon, which is the only reason you got here in the first place, and then you lost any respect you would have had when you slept with Derek!" Meredith stared, and Derek and Addison looked at each other. "You know I'm right, Meredith. And then you made it worse by acting like a twelve year old whenever you were around him once you found out about Addison."

"What would you have done, huh?"

Ellie shook her head. "I wouldn't have slept with my attending."

"What about Mark?"

Ellie cringed. "Mark is a plastic surgeon. He's not my attending."

"I didn't know Derek was my attending."

"Not at first. But that didn't stop you once you found out, did it?"

Meredith rolled her eyes. "What is your problem? When I first told you about him you were really excited for me! Even once you knew his name…"

Ellie looked down. "Yeah, at first I was happy for you. And when I found out his name…" Ellie sighed. "I wanted to hurt Addison. I hated her, damn it. She had hurt me, and god damn it if she wasn't going to get her heart broken." Ellie swallowed hard, still unaware that Addison was down the hall. "But then I realized that hurting her wasn't going to fix what she did. That's when I told myself that being mad at the person that meant the most to me was just going to make my life miserable, and I promised myself that I would forgive her." Ellie took a shaky breath. "I don't really want to discuss this with you, and I have to get back to work. We'll have to finish it at home."

"No, we won't." Meredith said, taking a deep breath. "I can't…you're dating one of my best friends, and your best friend stole everything from me…"

"She didn't steal anything. It was hers in the first place!"

"Not the dog."

"You gave her the dog, you idiot!"

"That's not the point. She has everything I want, including a good relationship with you, and I can't deal with it right now. I need you to stay somewhere else."

"Where exactly do you suggest I go?"

Meredith sighed. "I don't know. You grew up here. You'll find somewhere to go." Meredith turned and walked down the hall, leaving Ellie standing alone in the hallway.

"I don't…should I…?" Addison looked at Derek, an upset look on her face. "Do I go talk to her?"

He shrugged. "I don't know. I'm not sure she'll want to talk to you."

Ellie came walking down the hallway slowly, trying to regain her composure. "I didn't realize you were here." She said, looking Addison in the eye. "I didn't…"

Addison shook her head. "Don't worry about it."

"I need to go home, and pack up my stuff…and find somewhere to stay…Meredith gets off at 6, so I should really do it now…"

"Go." Derek said, putting one hand on her arm. "Go home, get your stuff, find a place to stay, and get some sleep. I'll let Richard know, and…call one of us when you've found a place. We'll want to know where you are…and so will George."

Ellie nodded. "Okay." Ellie took a deep, shaky breath. "Oh god…I have George's car…I can't…"

"He'll understand." Addison said. "And one of us will take him to wherever you're staying if he really wants it."

"Okay." Ellie sighed. "I don't really want to end M. I. Day early, but…" Ellie grinned. "I guess that means you win. For the first time in 6 consecutive years."

Addison laughed. "We'll call it a draw, okay?"

"Sure. Your day six gift is in George's car…"

"Later. We'll do it later. Take care of what you need to take care of, and we'll talk later, okay?" Ellie nodded and headed down the hallway towards the locker room. "El?" She turned around, her eyes brimming with tears. "I…" Addison couldn't put anything to words, so she walked up to Ellie and wrapped her in a hug.

"I'm sorry." Ellie whispered, her head buried in Addisons shoulder.

"There's nothing for you to be sorry for." Ellie looked up at Addison. "There isn't." Ellie nodded, the tears finally coming down her cheeks. "Call me when you figure out where you're staying, and we'll talk, okay?" Ellie nodded and left, her head down.

"Addie?" Derek came up behind her and placed one hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"I hurt her so much…" Addison turned to look at him. "I know I hurt you, and, this is no excuse, but it's like I told Meredith, desperate people do desperate things to get attention…but I never even thought…"

Derek nodded. "I know. Desperate people don't tend to think."

"I wanted your attention. And it killed her." Addison looked down and Derek pulled her in to a hug. "I'm so sorry Derek…"

"You've already apologized to me, Addie. And I'm getting closer and closer to forgiving you every day. It's Ellie you need to talk to." Addison nodded as Derek stepped back. "And I'm going to go talk to George. Hopefully before Meredith gets to him."

Well, I hope you guys liked it. I know the ending was kind of depressing, but I needed to get Ellie out of Merediths house…plus the rest of it was good, right? Uh…I hope so…review please! – Mel.

P.S. Decerebration is the progressive loss of cerebral function; advanced decerebration occurs with severe damage to the cerebrum, the largest part of the brain. I'm not sure that can happen in a car accident, but I figure if the cerebrum gets hit hard enough then maybe…whatev.
