"Shepherd, Sloan, O'Malley, Karev, Herrin, Milano, Bracco, Carbone…" Coach Webber called out.

"Here" all of the boys replied.

"Grey, Torres, Stevens, Yang, Montgomery" yelled Baileys booming voice

"Here" the five girls answered.

Today was the day they were leaving for Lake Placid. The hockey team and the figure skaters were all taking a coach bus. They had movies, food, and games. They brought ipods, and cameras. The trip should take about 6 hours with traffic, 5 hours if they were lucky.

"Cristina, Izzie, George, and Alex come on back!" Meredith called for her friends.

"Um…I don't know Mer" stuttered George. He was always shy. He knew that Mark, Kevin Carbone, and Dillon Bracco probably wanted to sit in the back; he didn't want to take their seats.

"Come on O'Malley we can play spin the…IPOD!" Alex yelled happily. He wasn't as bad a manwhore has Mark was but he was still pretty bad.

"Spin the what?" George asked confused

"The ipod, you know 'cause we don't have a bottle so…we can use an ipod!"

"Come on Alex do you ever think of anything non sexual?" came Izzie's grossed out comment.

"I think about hockey" Alex laughed. He loved teasing Izzie. He liked when she got pissed at him.

"Come on guys lets just sit in the back." Cristina was tired of Alex and Izzie always bickering she just wanted some time to herself, she wanted to relax.

"Hey, Alex?" Derek walked up to the group.

"Yeah man?"

"Do you mind if I sit with you guys?" He and Alex were good friends but he wasn't good friends with the rest of the "gang". Derek just wanted to make sure he wasn't interrupting anything. Everyone knew how close the five of them were.

"Yeah but why aren't you sitting with Addison?" Alex asked confused. As far as he knew they were still together. Meredith started coughing and then he understood. He was the reason Mer asked the hypothetical question a couple days earlier about cheating.

"Oh…um…we broke up" Derek stuttered. He kept his eyes on Meredith while he was talking to Alex. There were very rare times when Derek stuttered. One was when he was near or talking to Meredith and the other was when he was talking about relationships.

"Oh I'm sorry man. Of course you can sit back here. Welcome to life as a single man!" Alex gave Derek a pat on the back.

"Thanks" Derek knew he was going to have a great time. He would get to be near Meredith for 6 hours!
