McDown Under

"Could he be any hotter?" Izzie asked, placing another fry in her mouth. She was seated with Christina and Meredith at Lunch and the three were watching Addison and Parker across the cafeteria sharing a meal.

"He could only be hotter if he was holding a scapel" Christina acknowledged but even she was unable to deny Parker's obvious appeal.

Addison threw back her head in laughter and the three fell silent as they tried to hear what she was saying.

"McAussie is certainly a dish" Meredith said.

"McAussie, that is so lame" Christina looked thoughtful for a moment searching for the right word to sum up Parker.

"McDevine… no"

"McDelish" Izzie screwed up her nose.

"Mc Eat him with a spoon" Christina said.

"No No this is it" She quickly added.

"Mc That's not a hottie this is a hottie" She laughed wildly at the obvious Aussie Pun, both Meredith and Izzie looked at her confused.

"You know croc Dundee" She said shaking her head in disbelief that the girls had not seen the humour.

"I have to wonder if he even gets a Mc Name, maybe we should reserve them for Doctors" Meredith said.

"Oh no, he deserves a Mc Name" Izzie replied.

"Well then I like yours Izzie, McDelish" Meredith smiled standing up.

"McDelish it is" Izzie stood too.

As Christina stood too, she was still amazed that the pair weren't laughing at her joke.

"McDundee then, Mc Croc Hunter… c'mon I'm running out of Aussie puns" The girls rolled their eyes at her and walked away.

"I've got it" They stopped and turned to face Christina.

"McDown Under" Christina said pleased and Meredith and Izzie finally laughed at the obvious double meaning.

"I wander what's so funny" Parker said nodding his head in the direction of Christina, Meredith and Izzie.

"Who knows, interns?" Addison shrugged her shoulders.

Parker had insisted on meeting her for lunch at the hospital and despite her reluctance she was really enjoying herself.

"So you're a country boy then?" She asked.

"Born and bred, moved to Melbourne to study at Film school" He smiled at her. Addison found every word he said sexy.

"I've been in L.A. 6 months, working with the studio after they picked up my short film"

"Exciting" Addie said.

"Sometimes" Parker leant in and lightly touched her arm on top of the table. Then Addison pager went off, she looked down to view the message.

"I have to go" She stood quickly.

"Work" She gave him an apologetic smile.

"Of course" He said and she started to leave.

"Addison" She spun around and he was standing behind her.

"I want to see you tonight" He pulled her in and before she could resist because of the public display he was kissing her, strong and forceful. He pulled her back and she brushed away the hair from her cheek as if regaining her compusure.

"That was… unexpected" she smiled.

"Tonight?" He asked.

"Definitely" Addison said quickly walking away.

Secret Business

"Three giggling girls, what's going on here" Derek stood with Lily watching Meredith, Christina and Izzie walking their way.

"Secret girls business" Izzie managed as the other two tried to hold in their laughter.

"Oh… best I don't know then" Derek quickly kissed Meredith's cheek and continued on his way.

"Where's he off too?" Meredith turned to ask Lily.

"He has to check someone post op before we do our interview" Lily said.

"So what's this secret girls business?"

"I'll tell you later" Izzie replied grabbing a chart from a nearby dock and leaving with a wave.

"I better fly to, I want in on Burkes cardio case," Christina said.

"Alex has that" Meredith looked at her confused.

"Ahhh I have ways" Christina teased walking off.

Meredith turned to look at Lily again.
"So, what have you and Derek been up to this morning" She asked. Lily smiled at her, forming her response. The truth was she and Derek had been discussing his proposal.

"Secret sibling business" Lily answered.

"Okay" Meredith looked at her trying to work out what that meant.

"We were just planning my interview" Lily added.

"Okay" Meredith still didn't believe her.

"I'd better…"
"… Get to work" Lily finished her sentence"
"And I'd better…"

"… Get back to work too" Meredith replied awkwardly.

"Yes" Lily smiled again, before leaving Meredith to stare at her back and process their encounter. She knew Derek and Lily were close. What was she hiding?

Aussie charm

Lily's crew had finally arrived for the shoot. Jim and Toby were setting up the camera and audio while Lily stood rehearsing her opener.

Parker sat nearby on his cell again. Hanging up he looked at Lily.

"I just talked to the Bobby, he's going to send some location scouts out next week" Parker was making plans to shoot part of White Lily in Seattle.

"Sounds good, are you sure it will work?" Lily asked, in the end knowing it was not her place to second-guess the director.

"Of course it will, trust me, haven't I pulled through on everything else, I have to fly back to LA. Tomorrow for two days to finalise casting" he said standing and walking over to Lily.

"Lily I promised you I would treat your story well, we'll still do the bulk of it in New York" He warmly grabbed her hand, just as Derek came around the corner. He stopped to look at Parker and his sister.

"I'm ready" he said approaching them.

Parker looked at Derek and smiled.

"I was just telling your sister I am heading back to LA for two days, to finalise casting"

"Oh, who's playing me?" Derek had been dying to find out.

"Lily wanted Johnny Depp… but we're not quite up there yet… her nezxt script definitely" Parker said and Derek smiled at the thought of being portrayed by Johnny Depp.

"The studio was trying to lump us with some 80's actor that was in a heap of teen flicks… but Parker said no" Lily teased.

"We're actually talking to Rob Lowe… not exactly A list but it is only a supporting roll" Lily playfully punched her brothers arm.

"Anyway I better leave you two to it" Parker said, leaving the two.

"What was that about?" Derek asked.

"I was just teasing you, though the Rob Lowe part is true" Lily adjusted her microphone.

"I meant what was the hand holding about… the hospital is all talking about Addison and him, yet he's here holding your hand" Derek seemed unimpressed by Parkers Aussie Charm.

Lily rolled her eyes at him.

"He was talking to me about the movie, we're friends… and he is very interested in Addie, does that surprise you… or make you jealous?" Lily asked annoyed, she headed to where Jim and Toby were standing leaving Derek alone to consider the question
