Cristina sighed as the night clouds started to close in above them. Already there were a thousand stars appearing, flickering like a thousand tiny candles. She looked down to where she was still holding Arizonas hand in hers and briefly closed her eyes. She had managed to keep the young woman talking for quite a while during the day, thought admittedly the last parts of the conversation had been small murmured sentences…and Yang was not sure if Arizona was even aware of what she had been saying anymore.

Earlier in the evening, before the light had faded and during one of the few naps Cristina had allowed her friend to have, Yang had carefully pulled back the dressing on Robbins leg. Then, with a small pair of tweezers…she had slowly picked off and squashed each and every maggot that she could see in the brutally open leg wound. She had stood and looked for fresh dressing…but the storm the night before had soaked through any cloth or clothes they had brought on board…mainly because Yang had left them scattered in her frantic search for medicine or water…or food. Yangs stomach had growled at just the mere thought of the word. After painstakingly removing all of the maggots Cristina had then used some of their precious water to rinse away as much debris from Arizonas wounds…before tightly mashing together some drier leaves she had gathered and packing them together tightly to form a poultice of sorts, something to pack the still bleeding wound….something to block any further infection…any further infestation! She had loosened the tourniquet…frowning a fraction when instead of the usual loud vocal reaction from Robbins, the release only caused her to groan loudly and mutter her wifes name over and over again, before whimpering and going back to sleep before Yang had even refastened the belt…an action that had no reaction form Arizona at all!

Whilst Cristina had been checking Dereks hand, something she had done after checking on Jerry and Meredith and Mark…she had checked all of them, had even tried to cover Lexie to stop the wild animals tearing more of her away….so she was checking Dereks hand when Arizona had woken again….and woken in a way that had Cristina scrambling to her side to hold and rock her gently…pulling her tightly to her and hold her close as she whispered soothingly in her ear…

"Shhh Arizona, it was just a nightmare!" Callie whispered into her ear as she pulled her close and wrapped her arms around you, "It was just a nightmare…shhhh"

"Oh…God!" Arizona swallowed and tried to steady her breathing. "We…were back in that car again…and I was watching you…it was like in slow motion…and I was watching you as you flew forward and out of the windscreen!" She paused to draw in another deep breath nodding as Callies arms tightened around her. "And then…then I was standing there…in the ER…and they were yelling, and your heart…your heart stopped…I wanted to get to you…I did…but my feet wouldn't move! And then Webber pushed me back…but…oh but Callie it was weird…because I was watching you on the table…and they were fighting…for you…yet you were in the ER with me….standing behind Owen and Bailey…and Callie…you…you were singing! The three of you…were…singing!"

"I was singing?" Callie chuckled, "in the ER? I…was singing?!

"Uh…yeah!"

"Arizona! Come on!"

"I know…I know…weird right?"

But it wasn't Callie that answered. It was Mark…"Yeah…weird" he said as Arizona looked at him…only, they weren't in her bedroom anymore…they were…on a plane!

"What's weird?" Arizona spun around in her seat to look behind her at Lexie as the young intern leaned forward to repeat, "Seriously…what's weird?"

Mark looked over his shoulder at her as he muttered. "Arizona has ben staring out of the window in a sulk the whole flight…but she has just noticed that the engine doesn't seem to look the same as it did before…"

"No exhaust trail…." Arizona whispered a small puzzled frown on her face as she looked around her. Her eyebrows shot up as she saw Callie sitting next to Mark. "Callie?" she whispered again

"Yeah sweetie?" her wife replied as she turned to look at her and dazzle her with her brightest smile. "Oh baby…I forgot…you hate to fly…want me to come over and hold your hand? Mark…move over…let me get Arizonas hand"

"I can hold her hand…right Robbins?" he winked at her, then gave a small grimace as he heard Lexies choked cough

Arizona blinked rapidly as she looked around the plane again. She glanced down and saw she was dressed in scrubs…everyone was dressed in scrubs…except Callie…who was wearing…her pyjamas? "

"This…is weird!" Arizona muttered.

"Yeah…now you come to mention it…the sound is different…something sounds…different!" Yang nodded as she turned to Derek and Meredith for confirmation

Callie sighed and stood up to reach for Arizonas hand... automatically Arizona reached back…but just before their fingers met the world exploded around them! Arizona spun around and watched as a huge crack appeared in the fuselage above Lexie and Yang. "NO!" she yelled as the crack shifted and widened, with a loud pop the spilt pulled apart and it suddenly felt as if a mini tornado was spinning all around them. Plastic cups they had been drinking from whipped around first, Arizona gasped as the small side table from Marks chair ripped away and flew at her catching the side of her head…she looked up and saw Callie…standing perfectly still as debris whirled around her…her eyes locked on her wife as she softly smiled. Arizona screamed as she felt the seat she was sitting on jolt loose, felt herself lifting forward, felt her skin ripped by glass. She screamed as she saw the plane split in two…saw Lexie disappear in a cloud of dust…she glanced over and saw Derek pulled out of the hole that had ripped the fuselage in half. She could hear Mark yelling for Lexie before calling out "Robbins…grab my hand….take my hand!" Suddenly she felt herself pitch forward…felt herself fly out of her seat in almost slow motion, with one last desperate move she reached out to her wife screaming her name over and over again….their fingers barely touching, before Callie was pulled out of the same gaping hole that Derek had just vanished through. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she screamed, " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! CALLIE…..OH GOD…..CALLIE!"

Cristina had been checking Dereks hand when Arizona started to wake. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! CALLIE…..OH GOD…..CALLIE!" Although her body was weak Robbins started to thrash around as she yelled and Cristina had instantly run to her and pulled her into her arms, partly to steady her…partly to comfort her. "Shh Arizona….it's just a nightmare…just a nightmare…shhh now"

Arizonas eyes had flown open and she had sucked in two big breaths…then suddenly her eyes had widened more as she made a soft choking noise followed by an almost sickening gurgle. "No!" Cristina yelled at her. "Don't you dare Robbins…don't you frickin dare! Cough come on…cough it out….come on! COME ON!"

Arizonas eyes were bulging as she'd tried to draw in a breath, she'd locked her gaze on Yang and nodded as she tried…she tried to cough…but nothing happened. "He….he….help!" she managed, tears flowing freely. Her terrified gaze seemed to lock beyond Yang now, she knew she was in trouble…because she could see…see Lexie watching her…but…but standing just in front of Lexie…was her…herself! Arizona let out a terrified so as she stood in front of Lexie watching herself struggle….her expression was blank, her eyes emotionless and cold….suddenly she squinted a fraction and tilted her head as a small smirk played across her lips. "No!" Arizona muttered back at the image…her own visioion starting to blur

Yang pulled her forward and repeated her actions from before…delivering two swift thumps on Arizonas back as she supported her friend. Arizona meanwhile watched as Lexie took a small step forward…and pushed hard on the back of the Arizona who stood watching "Try to breathe in through your nose…blow out…through your mouth…come on sweetie…breathe in…" she felt Arizona take a small breath…and whispered, "and out through your mouth… " just as she felt Arizona go to breath out she delivered two more swift blows to her friends back….Robbins made a small gagging noise, feeling the thumps at the same time the Lexie once again pushed hard… and Cristina watched as with a small spasm Robbins retched again…and spewed a mouthful of blood out….before retching again and again…eventually spitting out what looked like two large clots….she gasped in several breaths as she made a mewling noise before whimpering….automatically Yang reached for the bottle of water and poured a small mouthful into Arizonas mouth muttering…rinse it Arizona….come on…clear it out….come ON!"

Again Arizona made a retching motion….the water Cristina had given her flew out…carrying more blood and several smaller clots. But suddenly her shoulders dropped and she sighed as she was able to pull in a few deep breaths, nodding in gratitude as Yang again gave her a small sip of water before gently wiping the blood from her chin. "Quit scaring me Robbins!" Yang gasped as she sat back in exhaustion

Arizona smiled weakly and whispered. "Sorry…I'll try….not…to"

"See you do!" Yang grinned back, she looked straight into Arizonas eyes as she smiled.

Arizona smiled back, then with a small almost imperceptible nod, she looked up at where Lexie now stood…alone…watching her and smiling back. Without waiting for Yangs permission Arizona closed her eyes and instantly drifted back into sleep, and the welcoming arms of Callie.

Cristina rubbed at her aching shoulder and groaned as she tried to stretch it, before she sat back down, and dropped her head down on her slightly raised knees. She looked at the small amount of water now left in the plastic bottle…she had not meant to use so much…the adrenalin had made her reckless…her heart was still pounding in her chest …seriously, at this rate…Sloan and Robbins would be the death of her, she thought with a small smile. The smile faded as she looked again at the miniscule amount of water left…in the dark, she could just make out the shadows of where Derek and Meredith were sleeping side by side…could see the sallow skin of Mark….and the pale features of Arizona. She reached for Robbins wrist and nodded as she checked the weakened pulse…changing her grip to hold her friends hand again. She glanced one last time at the meagre water...then looked up at the twinkling lights in the sky. "If only you could show them where to find us!" she whispered….laughing at her own absurdity…"talking to the stars Yang? Oh boy….you're in trouble now"
