Meredith tossed her scrubs into her locker and slammed it shut. Yet another long day to add to the list of long days that had come before it. However she was getting out on time. Mike had called her an hour previously asking if she could take Lily home because he was so backed up he'd be lucky to get out of there by eleven. "You ready to go?" she asked turning to Lily who was sitting on the couch looking a little more chipper than she was in the morning.

"Yeah. Listen Meredith you don't have to baby-sit me. I'll be fine at home."

"I think not." Meredith shook her head 'no' she knew that if she did that Mike would kill her. "You and I are going to go eat pizza and watch TV with George and Izzy."

Lily smiled, however it soon faded as Derek walked towards them. "Don't!" she said forcefully sticking her index finger out as a warning. Derek stood in his place being passive aggressively annoying. Lily made a large dramatic sigh and ushered Meredith around his figure giving him a slight shoulder bump.

"What was that about?" Meredith asked.

"He came to see me just after you left. I think you have a stocker."

"He WHAT! I'm going to…"

"Don't worry I took care of it."

"Well let's go." The two headed out to Meredith's car where Izzy and George were already waiting they all got in and headed home. In the back of her mind Meredith wondered what Lily had to Derek.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Meredith got up from her settled position on the couch to answer the knock at the door. Hey Mike you made it out alive, and it's only ten-thirty," she said letting Mike into the house.

"Just nearly. Thanks a lot for taking Lily. How is she?"

"She seems to be back 100. But she was pretty tired all day."

"ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT ME?" Lily asked from her curled up spot on the couch. She was sitting next to George telling him all the similarities between he and Mr. Clooney.

"I got nothing else interesting to talk about, you know that." Mike walked into the living room and rubbed the top of Lily's head. "How are you doing kid?"

"I'm good," Lily said smiling. "Can I finish watching this before we go home?"

"Sure."

"Hey Mike why don't we get you a beer. It looks like you could use it." Meredith ushered Mike into the kitchen and grabbed two bottles out of the fridge.

"Thanks," Mike said popping the top. "Lily told me you broke up with McDreamy."

"Yeah, he turned out to be McMarried."

"That sucks." Mike took a sip of his beer as an awkward pause ensued. "Well I hope this isn't too forward of me but I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me on Saturday night? If you have it off."

Meredith took a short flashback of Mike's butt earlier that morning and another one when he was boxing without his shirt on before replying, "Yeah sounds great."

"Perfect. Pick you up around nine?"

"Sounds great." Meredith cracked a small smile, she was back in the game.
