Christina grabbed her clothes and went chasing after Meredith. She found her sitting on her diving board, staring at the water of the pool they had swum in numerous times.

"Meredith, what are you doing here?" Christina asked, standing close to the diving board.

Meredith looked up at her with tears in her eyes. "Is he why you're not going to Berkley?"

"Mer, I love Burke."

"And you don't think that I love Derek? To quote your own words, he's way too old for you."

"We haven't had sex yet." Christina pointed out.

"Everything but though, right?"

"Well, yeah." Christina agreed.

"I can't believe you! You were the last person I thought would do something like this." Meredith got off the diving board and began walking away.

"Meredith, don't walk away mad. Please?"

Meredith turned to face her, "how the hell do you want me to walk away? This is ridiculous Christina. You and Izzie talked me out of staying here for Derek and now you're doing the exact same thing!"

"It's not the same."

"How is it not the same?"

"I don't have as many reasons to leave as you do."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"Meredith, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If your mother were to find out about the two of you together, do you have any idea how much she would make Derek's life a living hell? Dartmouth has all those special programs you've been itching to take." Christina sighed, "I don't have good reasons to go like you do. Burke and I have already talked about it. The second I turn 18 next year, I'm going to move in with him."

Meredith thought for a moment. Everything Christina was saying was true. Meredith would have to hide her relationship for another 9 months from her mother, something she didn't really want to do. "Damnit, I hate that your right." Meredith started to cry. "I just really don't want to leave him. I love him so much."

"Aww, honey, I know you do." Christina walked over to her best friend and gave her a hug.

"Promise me you'll invite me to the wedding?" Meredith asked.

"Shut up." Christina said, grabbing hold of Meredith and throwing her and herself into the deep end of the pool.

From upstairs, Burke watched the whole fight. He smiled to himself, 'Christina loves me.'

"Meredith, have you seen my pink eye shadow?" Izzie asked from Meredith's bathroom. Meredith had the biggest bedroom as well as bathroom, plus her mother wasn't home so Christina, Izzie and herself decided to get ready at her house.

"Why would I have seen your pink eye shadow? When have I ever worn pink eye shadow?" Meredith answered from her bedroom.

"I was just asking, geez… Oh wait! Found it!"

"Praise the lord." Christina said. She was standing behind Meredith, straightening her hair.

Izzie came walking back into the bedroom, this time with pink eye shadow on, "I can't believe its prom you guys, I am so excited. This is going to be the best night ever!" She exclaimed. "What time are the guys coming again?" She asked.

"Once George picks up Callie, Derek, Preston, and Alex are coming here in the Limo… For the hundredth time!" Christina said.

"They'll be here in about 15 minutes Izzie." Meredith said from where she was sitting.

"Great! I'm almost ready."

"You look great Iz." Meredith said, frowning slightly.

"Meredith, you look beautiful. Derek is going to love this."

"I know, but at least you get to have sex with Alex tonight." Christina said. "Why the long face Mer?"

"I don't know, I guess its just that after tonight, I'm only going to have two and a half more months with Derek before I have to leave. It just really sucks."

"Aww, I thought that you two weren't going to do this sad, broody, mopey thing until closer to when you have to leave?" Izzie asked.

"Yeah, its just hard." They all heard a honk outside Meredith's window. "Ok, I'm happy again… Lets get this party started!"
