Meredith walked into Joe's in an extremely good mood. She spotted the gang and sat next to
Christina. "Why do you look so happy"? Christina asked. "Can't I just be in a good mood?"
Christina just rolled her eyes. "What can I get you to drink"? Joe asked. "I think I'll just have a
beer." "Coming right up." There was some music playing in the background and Meredith decided
she wanted to dance. "George come dance with me." "I'm not much of a dancer." "Neither am I."
Meredith pulled him off his seat and put her arms around his neck. Izzie and Christina gave each
other a that's weird stare. George had his hands on Meredith's waist as they danced to a slow song.
"If you don't mind me asking what happened today?" "What do you mean?" "Well, you do seem
like you're in a pretty good mood." "I think I'm officially over Derek." "What do you mean?" "I had
to do a surgery with him and instead of tensing up or getting mad, I was fine with it. Nothing was
awkward and I didn't have any negative feelings afterward." "Well, that is certainly good to hear."
The song ended and they went back to the bar. "I gotta go; I'm meeting Alex for dinner." "Yeah, I
have a date or something with Preston." "You guys I just got here." "Yeah, but we've been here for
an hour already" Izzie replied. "Fine, have fun." "George please tell me you'll stay until I at least
finish my drink." "Yeah, no problem."
After Meredith finished her drink she and George walked to her jeep. "Let's go see a movie."
This took George off guard. "Right now?" "Yeah, why not? It's still early and everyone else is out."
"Okay, sure." George should have figured she would have chosen a romance movie to see, not to
mention she was eating all his popcorn, he didn't mind thought. He was just happy just to spend time
with her. During a really sappy part of the movie she grabbed George's hand and held it. He turned
to look at her and she had tears in her eyes. She turned her head and looked straight at him and
smiled, then she laid her head on his shoulder and continued to watch the movie. They walked out of
the theatre arm in arm both looking happy "That was such a good movie." "I can't believe you made
me see that." "Oh, you know you liked it." The two of them kept playfully bickering about the
movie. To strangers they looked like a happy couple who was in love.
On the drive home Meredith decided to make another stop. "Let's get some ice cream." "You
mean my popcorn didn't fill you up?" Meredith just smiled. She pulled up to the store and they both
went in. Meredith grabbed a pint of cookies n cream and George got a pint of cherry pecan. When
they got home Meredith got a blanket to throw over them while they sat on the couch and ate their
ice cream. "I don't know what they did different, but this is really good. Taste this George."
Meredith got a spoonful of her ice cream and fed it to him. "It taste like ice cream to me." "Shut up."
She playfully elbowed him. They talked and finished their ice cream. Meredith still wasn't ready for
bed. "I wonder if anything good is on TV?" She turned it on and decided to leave it on a "Gilligan's
Island marathon. "You're kidding, right?" asked George. "There's nothing else on, plus everyone
likes "Gilligan's Island." They both gave each other a side-glance and smiled. They had watched it
for a while sitting cozily together. "You would've have thought living off coca nuts would have
caused the Skipper to lose some weight." George didn't reply do her comment and when she
looked up at him she saw that he had fallen asleep. He looked so peaceful to her. She didn't want to
wake him so she gently pushed him down on the couch so he was lying instead of sitting. She put her
hand on his face and softly rubbed his cheek and kissed his forehead, then went to her room.
