Help is Around the Corner
Addison and Derek's trailer catches fire, and Meredith offers them a place to stay for a while.
After that fiasco, Meredith and Addison try to get their bearings on the Truth or Dare game again.
"Meredith, ask someone!" says Cristina.
"Okay!" says Meredith, considering this.
"Hmm," says Meredith, as she surveys the room.
Since they'd been in the closet, Cristina has definitely gotten drunker, as has almost everyone else.
Izzie is lazily draping herself on top of Alex.
George and Callie are sitting closer together.
And Derek and Mark at least appear not to be fighting as much anymore.
"Cristina, truth or dare?" says Meredith, wanting to get her friend back for what she just did to her and Addison.
"Dare, baby!" says Cristina.
"I dare you…" says Meredith. "To give Mark a lapdance!" she settles with.
Mark smirks, and Addison bursts out laughing.
Cristina laughs, and climbs onto Mark's lap, and starts swinging her hips exaggeratedly to prove her point, and Burke looks rather unimpressed.
"Alright my turn!" says Cristina. "Burke, truth or dare," says Cristina.
"Dare," says Preston.
"I dare you to touch another man's chest!" says Cristina.
"Do you care which one?" says Burke.
"Not really," Cristina shrugs.
"Derek?" says Burke.
"Oh, okay," says Derek, as he lifts up the bottom tail of his shirt.
"Happy?" says Burke.
"No, you gotta like, feel him up," says Cristina, as she gestures accordingly.
"Okay…" says Burke, as he does this, while Derek sits there awkwardly.
"Callie, truth or dare?" says Burke.
"Dare," says Callie.
"Okay, I dare you to melt an ice cube on your body," says Burke.
"Cold!" says Cristina, as Izzie gets her an ice cube, and Callie switches it from her hands to her elbow to different places.
The others laugh and enjoy watching her squirm.
"Addison, truth or dare?" as she locks eyes with her friend.
Addison gulps, and considers her options.
She knows that Callie will ask her something embarrassing if she says 'truth,' but that she'll make her do something embarrassing if she says 'dare.'
Addison weighs her options, wondering to herself which is more dangerous. If they ask her a 'truth,' they might ask her about her feelings for Meredith, which she isn't sure that she's ready to share yet, even if Meredith has pretty much shared her feelings for her, which seem to be positive.
And if she has to do a dare, they might make her do something horrible, like kiss someone else, which she doesn't wanna do right now, or they might make her do something naughty to Meredith, which she sorta kinda really wants to do… But not in front of everyone else.
So she's stuck.
But she has to say something, so she finally settles on her answer. "Truth," Addison gulps, as she looks up at Callie nervously.
For all her worrying though, Callie seems to be a bit more preoccupied with her own dilemmas.
"Okay, truth time Addison. Do you think I'm bisexual?" says Callie.
"Do I- what?" says Addison.
"Do you think I like women… As well as men…?" Callie asks her.
"Umm, maybe?" Addison squeaks.
"Okay…" says Callie. "But how do I y'know… Know…" says Callie.
"Well umm…" says Addison. "Do you like kissing women?" says Addison.
"I never have, except Izzie," says Callie.
"But you said you liked that," says Cristina.
"Right…" says Callie.
"It can take a while to figure it out," says Addison.
"Okay," says Callie. "Thank you."
"Addison it's your turn," says Cristina.
"Right," says Addison.
"George, truth or dare?" says Addison, because she senses that George might be feeling a little left out.
"Truth," says George.
"How do you feel about Callie being potentially bisexual," says Addison empathetically.
"Well, I guess it might make me feel nervous or threatened, but it doesn't. If I were any other guy then it might turn me on… Well, it does… A little bit," says George with a shy smile.
Callie squeezes his hand, and George smiles.
"Truth or dare Derek?" says George.
"Truth?" says Derek.
"Do you wish that Addison had never shown up in Seattle?" says George.
"Sometimes," says Derek. "But not other times."
Derek doesn't elaborate further, so he just asks Izzie.
"Truth," says Izzie.
"Alright Izzie…" says Derek. "Would you have ever told anyone about being a model if Alex had never figured it out?" he asks her.
"I might have waited," says Izzie. "But my picture's all over the magazines, so someone would have found it eventually," Izzie giggles. "It took me a long time to get over the photocopying though!"
"I bet," Addison laughs. "That would have been a sign to see, I imagine."
Meredith raises her eyebrows at Addison's comment, but she can tell by her expression that Addison is only intrigued in a friendly way, and not in a way that she should be jealous over.
"Alex, truth or dare?" says Izzie.
"I'll do a dare," says Alex.
"I dare you to read us the text you got back from Olivia," says Izzie.
"Dear Typhoid Mary, I'm so over you," Alex shrugs. "Whatever, I'm with Iz now."
"Ouch-" Izzie teases.
"Shut up," says Alex. "Yo Mark, truth or dare?" says Alex.
"Truth-" says Mark.
"Am I a good kisser or what?" says Alex with a smirk.
"Is that a question, Karev?" says Mark.
"Yes, it's a question," says Alex.
"You're pretty good," says Mark. "You're good."
"Thanks, man," says Alex, high-fiving him.
Izzie just giggles, and Derek raises his eyebrows again.
"Alright… Meredith, truth or dare?" says Mark.
"What!? You again!?" Meredith pretends-sighs aloud.
"Pick your poison," says Mark.
"Dare," says Meredith boldly.
She doesn't want any more questions about her potentially questionable feelings for Addison.
"Show us your sex toys," says Mark with a glimmer.
"All of them?" says Meredith.
"All of them!" says Mark excitedly.
Addison's eyes open wide, and she licks her lips subconsciously at the thought of it.
"Be right back," says Meredith, as she slides off of Addison's lap, and skips up to her room.
"Excited much?" Cristina teases Addison.
"What-" says Addison.
"Are you excited?" says Cristina.
"Oh umm… A little…" Addison blushes sweetly.
"If she were a guy, she'd be-" Mark teases her before Derek's elbows him.
"I mean, she likes ladies apparently now, so that's kinda like a guy right?" says Burke.
"No, because not all guys like ladies, and being a lady who likes ladies is different," Izzie.
"True," says Cristina.
"Hey I'm saying Addison's excited," says Mark.
"I'm kinda excited," says Alex.
"Hey!" says Izzie.
"Hey, they're interesting," says Alex. "I always wondered how much of a freak that Mer is," says Alex.
"Pretty freaky-" Derek supplies, a little shocked still.
"Nice!" says Mark.
"Yeah, maybe if you don't have to hear it at night," says George.
"She is kinda loud," says Izzie.
Addison bites her lip, and tries not to picture this (and fails miserably).
Meredith comes back to the table shortly after with a boxful of toys.
"Alright, so this is my collection," Meredith smiles mischievously as she opens the box.
Addison's pupils dilate as she takes in the sight in front of her.
"So this is my bullet vibrator," says Meredith, as she shows it off. "It fits in my pocket, so I can take it on the go…" says Meredith.
Addison smiles, and Meredith continues.
"And this is my wand vibrator," says Meredith. "It feels really good," she smiles.
Addison eyes it, and looks back at Meredith.
"And this is my butterfly vibrator, it has a part that goes inside of me, and a part for my clit," says Meredith.
Addison starts to be impressed with the size of her collection.
"And this is my leaf vibrator," says Meredith, as she shows this one off.
Addison gulps at all the tantalizing objects that Meredith is displaying, and she's both in awe of them, and jealous of them, and imagining Meredith pleasuring herself with them, and it's sending her imagination into overdrive.
"And finally, this is my strap on, with several options for dildos," says Meredith, as she holds out the harness, and also the dildos.
Addison eyes these the most, and imagines Meredith using them with her (on her), and she nearly catches herself drooling.
"This one was Derek's favorite," Meredith winks at him, as she holds out one of the smaller dildos.
Derek chokes a bit and tries to cover it up with a cough, and Mark says "nice!" and Addison just shrugs at him.
"And that's my collection," says Meredith, with a proud smile.
Addison is still trapped in her lustful fantasies as Meredith closes the box, and moves it to the side of the table, and crawls onto her lap again.
