Meredith watched from her locker as George nervously watched Rachel from the other side of the room, deciding whether to go up to her or not. Rachel saw him watching and smiled at him. George turned around quickly and pretended to look through his locker. Rachel walked over to Meredith.

"What's with him?" She asked.

"He likes you."

George looked over his shoulder and was surprised to see both Meredith and Rachel looking at him.

"He does?"

"Yep. He's just nervous about talking to you."

"Maybe I should just go talk to him then."

"Are you interested in George?"

"Maybe." Rachel grinned at her new friend as she walked over to George. "Hey Georgeie boy!" She gave him her best smile.

"Uh…Rachel…uh hi."

"So what you up to this Friday?"

"Uh nothing I have Friday off."

"Really that makes to of us. So did you want to go out or something?"

"Are you asking me on a date?"

Rachel thought for a moment. "YES!" she declared.

"Are you sure? I mean are you sure you want to go out with me?"

"Yes George. I'll talk to you later" She leaned over and kissed George on the cheek before walking out of the room. Meredith walked over to George. "Oh my god. I have a date." He whispered.

Meredith smiled at George.

"I have a date!" George yelled.

"Wow George that's great!" Alex said walking into the locker room. "Now do us all a favor and make sure you get laid."


"Hey Iz." Meredith called after her friend.

"Yeah?"

"Have you seen Cristina? I need to know how Thatcher's doing."

"Um yeah she was in room 596 about 5 minutes ago."

"Thanks. What time are you off?"

"8:30 if I'm lucky."

"Damn your lucky I don't get off until 11."

"Well I'll make you some cupcakes."

"Thanks Iz you're the best! Make sure there chocolate."


"Cristina!"

"Yeah?"

"Where the hell have you been? I've been looking for you every where."

"I've been having fun in an on call room."

"Well good for you. How is Thatcher?"

"He is driving me mad. I thought you said a couple of days, its been a couple of weeks."

"Yeah I know I'm sorry. It's just-"

"Listen Mer. I'm kicking him out, I'm sending him to a hotel."

"Cristina!"

"No! That man is so freaking demanding. I'm not doing it anymore!"

"Ok, jeeze."

Cristina's pager went off. "Oh look more fun in an on call room!"


"Noooo!" Meredith whined as her cell phone rang beside her waking her up from the peaceful sleep she was having in the on call room. She groaned as she rolled over to grab her phone.

"Hello?" She said sleepily.

"Meredith hi it's Thatcher."

"Oh hi. How are you?"

"I'm good. Listen I was just ringing to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?"

"Yeah I'm going back to Boston today. I'm actually about to board my flight."

"Why?"

"Because you lasted this long with out me. You don't need me now. We'll keep in touch of course. I'm not walking out on you again I'm just going to Boston."

Meredith stayed silent. Processing the information she had just heard.

"Meredith are you there?"

"Yeah."

"I'll ring you when I land in Boston ok?"

"Ok."

"Bye Meredith, I love you."

"Bye."

Meredith closed her phone and laid back on the bed. She let one lonely little tear run down her cheek. She really thought her father was back for good. She wanted him to be back for good. She checked her watch. 8:45 pm. Izzie should be at home by now baking her cupcakes. Meredith smiled at the thought of the cupcakes, but her thoughts were interrupted by her pager. 911. Meredith leapt out of the bed and ran down the hall.

She froze next to George who had already seen what she had. Cristina came up behind them. "What are you two doing come on we got a 15 car pile up." She said excited.

George pointed at the woman on the stretcher a few meters away from them.

"Holy shit."
