4th Floor Doctor's Lounge

Cristina and Meredith are standing outside the door to the doctor's lounge where Dr. Bailey is writing notes.

"Meredith I am not sure this is the best idea" Cristina starts to walk away.

Meredith quickly grabs her friend's arm and points her bck toward the door "Unless you're going to tell Burke the truth, this is the only way." Cristina wrinkles up her forehead and takes a deep breath before the two walk through the door.

Bailey looks up then goes back to her notes. "What are you two doing in here? I know I'm not the only one with any work to do."

Cristina is struggling to get her words out "Of course not. Uhh. Dr. Bailey I uh"

Bailey is clearly frustrated "Spit it out Yang. I've got work to do and am running out of patience. What is wrong with you this week? You are acting like…"

Cristina closes her eyes, breathes and then holds out her hand for Bailey to see.

"Congratulations but that finger looks nasty." Bailey gently grabs Cristina's hand to take a closer look at the damage.

Meredith helps Cristina out with the truth "They're not engaged"

"Then why in the world are you wearing an engagement ring?" Bailey looks up as she begins to realize the problem.

"Well, I…" Cristina's face is getting flushed.

Bailey lets go of Cristina's hand and leans back in her chair chuckling "Oh I get it. You were snooping through the man's things, found this ring and tried it on."

Cristina and Meredith take a seat at the table "Yes. That's why I was late this morning. Burke left then came back when I had the ring on and I ended up slamming my hand in the drawer."

"Now it's swollen and you can't get the ring off. Is this why you've been acting crazy the past two days?" Bailey's voice is getting louder.

"This is so humiliating."

"And you won't tell Burke because you're not supposed to know about this ring"

"Yes"

"Are you going to say yes?"

"No idea."

"You've gotten yourself into quite the mess Dr. Yang." Bailey's looking at the hand again.

Meredith decides to cut to the chase "Can you drain it?"

"Sure can but it's going to hurt a lot. You sure you want to do this. It'd be easier just to say yes."

"Yes, I'm sure" Cristina frowns "Dr. Bailey about the month of enemas?"

"I think you're being tortured enough. Let's see what we can do with that finger."

4th Floor Seattle Grace Hospital

O'Malley and Burke are leaving Mr.Roberts' room.

"O'Malley schedule Mr. Roberts' procedure for this evening with Dr. Carson."

"You're not operating on Mr. Roberts?"

"No, Cristina and I have plans with a buddy of mine and his girlfriend. He's actually going to propose to her during dinner. You can scrub in with Dr. Carson it won't be a problem."

George is intrigued "Well that's a coincidence. Your buddy's getting engaged?"

"Yeah I've been holding on to the ring for him and he's going to surprise her tonight. He thought that it would be more unexpected this way. Cristina and I are his decoys. "

"Decoys…oh that's good cause Cristina thinks…" George realizes that he has said too much.

Burke is taken off guard by George's statement and the smile leaves his face "What?"

George looks like a deer caught in the headlights and starts repeating "Nothing. Cristina just thinks that…more people should have surgeries."

"O'Malley you are a terrible liar? What's going on? What does Cristina think?"

Burke pauses realizing what has happened

"She found the ring didn't she? She thinks I'm going to ask her to marry me. That's why she's been acting crazy." Burke shakes his head and starts to chuckle.

"Cristina's going to kill me" George plops himself in the closest wheelchair.

Burke stares at George "Probably, but it's too late now so spill it!"
