I OWN NOTHING

"Yeah, Mer, who are you going to choose?" Izzie asked.

"I'm going to choose-"

"Ice cream's here! I've got about 50 different flavors because I don't know what everyone likes," George said, walking into the kitchen. "Callie! You made it!"

"Yes, I did."

"What's going on in here?" George asked, suspiciously.

"Nothing," all three said together.

"Are you all fighting again? Because I think that's the last thing Izzie needs right now. Actually, I think that I might have made a mistake in inviting you, Callie. I love hanging out with you, but this is Izzie's night-"

"And she's always welcome here," Izzie said.

"She is?" George asked, confused.

"Yes, she is. We're all friends now. We should go and start watching the movies now," Meredith said, walking away.

"What about what we were just talking about? You can't just leave us hanging!" Izzie said, with Callie nodding her head in agreement.

"We can talk about this later. It's not like we're never going to hang out again."

Callie, Izzie, and George followed Meredith into the living room when Izzie grabbed George and pulled him aside.

"George, I need you to do me a favor," Izzie said.

"Anything," George replied.

"I need you to call McDreamy and tell him to come over here."

"Anything but that."

"Please? I think if we get Meredith and Derek to talk, they might get back together."

"Meredith's not going to like this."

"I know. But she'll thank us later. Now, go in your room and call him."

About 10 minutes later, George returned to the living room and realized they were watching Mean Girls.

"When you said, 'chick flick,' you seriously meant chick flick, huh?" George asked.

"Yeah, I'm with you man, but whatever," Alex said. He was sitting on the couch, and Izzie sat on the floor between his legs.

"Where were you George?" Meredith asked.

"Well, it's funny you should ask. I just had to check my voicemail and it turns out, Izzie had called me earlier to get a certain kind of ice cream, but I didn't get it for some reason until just now."

"Izzie, when did you call George?"

"Oh, while you were upstairs. But he got the kind I wanted anyway."

"Hey Alex, I've been meaning to ask you something," George said, changing the subject before Meredith found out exactly what he did.

"And what's that man?"

"Exactly where did you sleep when Izzie was at your house?"

"Yeah, where did you sleep? You seem like the type to take advantage," Callie said.

"I can answer that one for him," Izzie said. "We started out in his bed. He held me while I cried myself to sleep, and sometime after I fell asleep, he went out and slept on his couch."

"And how do you know nothing happened while you were sleeping?" George asked.

"George!" Meredith said.

"I'm just curious."

"Because when I woke up, every article of clothing I had on was still on. Besides, I know Alex wouldn't do anything like that. At least not in the condition I was in."

"I was just wondering," George said defensively.

"I can be a gentleman," Alex said.

"Every once in a blue moon," Meredith said, "but still: you can be a gentleman."

Everyone laughed.

DING DONG

"Who could be at the door?" Meredith asked. "Did anyone call Cristina over?"

"No," they all said in unison.

"Okay. I'll get it," Meredith said, getting up and walking to the door. She opened it to find Derek standing there.

"Hi Meredith."
