Disclaimer in first chapter-

A/N: Thanks to my crazy family I wasn't able to update Friday and yesterday wasn't working. But here I am! Updating for you, just incase you were way to depressed to read a finale fic (like me.) Well, anyways, I was talking to editor and she was complaining because she only got 20 reviews. I know, bo freaking ho. But I really like reviews. Thanks to LucyBethFan1 for a whopping 2/3 of my reviews, and to K-Daawg for the rest. Also, I promise you guys, I'm so farther ahead of this fic in you guys, it's almost painful to go back and read how boring this is. It gets so much better, promise.

Ch 3. Beautiful Stranger

.:A Few Months Later:.

"Randi, where the hell are the booklets for the new interns!" Asked Carter as the tossed papers all around the admit area.

"Do I look like I have time to figure that out!"

"Here the are!" He said picking up a packet of them and waving them in Randi's face, "Whenever you have a chance call psyche again! It's like attack of the lonely depressed guys today." He sighed, taking the packets and tossing them to the interns. As he was giving them the grand tour he walked past what almost looked like the little med student he used to take care of. He did a double take and turned around.

"Lucy!"

The girl, whom he thought, might be this med student spun around and with a small smile walked over to Carter, "Hey there."

Carter looked her over and over again. Not Lucy no. But it had to be. Those were the same blue, twinkling eyes, and that some blonde hair but she was different. Well like she said she did work on that tan, but back to her hair, it was cut. A lot of it. It was flipped out and streaks of a darker blonde highlighted it down to her chin. "Lucy! Doesn't even look like you!"

"You don't like it! Ugh!" She picked up a piece and looked at it, "I knew I shouldn't have got it cut!"

"No, no, Luce, you look great! Just uh different," He shrugged and smiled at her, "So how the first day, doctor?

"Ahh don't ask! If you ER doctors would stop paging me every three seconds I could get some work done."

"Wow, first day and you're telling me off already, I better watch my back."

Lucy sighed and walked down the halls with Carter at her side, "Sorry!" She said in between laughs, "But I have to baby-sit the bipolars upstairs so if you could keep it necessary only…well it would make me happy." She stopped and turned to Carter with a small, pleading smile.

"Ok ok, but learn to be here when I need you, oh and there's a patient I need a great council for…"

Sighing she took the chart, "Ok let me go be a psychiatrist."

.:About 10 Minutes Later:.

John and Lucy walked out of the room.

"Guess what! I'm going to recommend we admit him for you!" She said signing a chart.

"Wow and I thought you didn't have much power as an intern." He said talking a gulp of his coffee and swallowing it.

She rolled her eyes as Carter continued.

"So are you on tonight?" Avoiding a spinning gurney he asked.

"No… why?" She asked him confused.

"I just wanted to see if didn't have any dinner plans…well I could make some for you," He stuttered out and looked into Lucy's questionable face. 'Oh my god,' He thought, 'make them for you'! Ugh!

"Umm yeah that actually sounds great," She replied pleased, "What time?"

"Just meet me down here when you're ready, I'm not going anywhere," He playfully hit a chart across her shoulder as he walked into admit and she walked upstairs.
