Christina, Izzie, Alex, and George walked into the café to eat.
"What is she doing with McSteamy?" Izzie asked when she saw Meredith and Mark talking at one of the tables.
"She's been spending more and more time with him." Christina stated as she stared at them and slipped into one of the chairs at a different table.
"Maybe she's screwing him." Alex said with an evil smirk getting glares from the others.
"Maybe their just friends." George said. "I mean him and Dr. Montgomery and her and Dr. Shepherd, similar experiences."
"I don't know," Izzie sighed. "Maybe something is up with them."
"It's weird that you care." Alex commented stuffing a few fries into his mouth.
"She's our friend. We're supposed to be concerned with what is going on." Izzie said.
"Whatever. When it comes to her love life, it's entertaining but if you get all caught up in it…" He shook his head.
"Shut it, Evil Spawn." Christina glared throwing a couple fries at him

Meredith looked down at her watch.
"Don't you have surgery in like three minutes?" She asked looking back up at him.
He stood up tossing his cup away. "They really can't start without me."
"You have a big ego." She shook her head standing up. "I'll see you later?"
"Sure." He shrugged before leaving.
Meredith sighed throwing her cup away in the trash. Rubbing her hand over her face, she sighed. "Alright guys, you can stop staring at me." Rolling her eyes to herself, she turned and looked at her friends a table away.
"So, what are you doing with McSteamy?" Christina asked.
"Nothing. He's my fellow dirty mistress. He's my friend. Nothing more. Nothing less." She rolled her eyes. "I'll see you guys later. I have to find my patient's parents." She walked out of the café.

Victoria was awake by the time Meredith got back to her room.
"Meredith?" She asked once she noticed Meredith coming into the room.
"Yes?"
"Have you found my mama and dada?"
Meredith sighed. "Not yet. It's going to be a little hard. There are a lot of people who don't know exactly who they are. But I'll find them, I promise."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome. How are you feeling?"
"Okay, I guess."
"That's good. How about I go and find your parents and you rest some more?" Victoria nodded. Meredith smiled at her before walking out. "Alex?"
"What's up, Grey?"
"Have you put a name to any of your victims from the crash?"
"Ah, yeah…"
"And Smiths?"
"I don't think so."
Meredith nodded and sighed. "If you do…"
"I'll let you know." He sighed and walked off.
She walked down the hall to the nurses' station. Rubbing her temples, she let out a long sigh.
"Dr. Grey?" She jumped at the sound of someone's voice. She turned to see Lexi and Harrison standing there.
"What?" She started to walk down the hall and Lexi and Harrison followed.
"Dr. Sloan needs assistance on his surgery," Lexi started. "I was wondering if I could scrub in again."
Meredith rolled her eyes. He just had to choose her. "What did Dr. Sloan say?"
"He said talk to you." Harrison answered. "And for the record, I want in too."
Meredith sighed pushing the door open to the scrub room. "Dr. Sloan?"
"Dr. Grey? What brings you by?" She glared at him and gestured the interns standing behind her. "Ah, interns."
She nodded. "Who do you need to scrub in?"
"Well, if you're free…"
"I have to look for my patient's mother and father."
"That's what interns are for."
She shrugged. "I made a promise to a five year old girl and I intend to keep it."
He nodded and sighed. "I need another body in the OR, other than that, I don't care." He continued to scrub in.
"What about Alex?"
He glared at her. "I'm sure he's busy."
She sighed. "Dr. Grey, what were you assigned to?"
"My patient died." She answered.
"Dr. Rogers?"
"So did mine."
"Alright who ever can answer this, scrubs in." Mark smirked. "How much does a cappuccino, the way I like it, cost in the lobby?"
"What?" Meredith looked at him like he was crazy as did the interns.
"Just answer the question."
"I don't know." Harrison shrugged.
"Like four something." Lexi sighed.
"This is why I tell interns to go get coffee for me. How am I supposed to trust that you'll remember a procedure if you can't remember how much a coffee costs? Dr. Grey, do you know it?"
"Yes."
"And?" He asked.
"$4.56, unless it's Sunday which would make it $3.90. I was an intern to at one point." She smirked at him.
"Good job, Dr. Grey. You can scrub in."
She sighed. "No, I have to find this girl's parents."
He was taken a little off guard, but nodded. "Dr. Rogers, scrub in."
"What? Why can't I?" Lexi protested as Meredith slipped out.
"Because I don't let interns scrub in except for when I have to. You already have scrubbed in."
"And stood in the back of the room!" Lexi protested again.
"Where do you think he'll be? I can't risk getting sued because I let an intern near a live body." He smirked and walked into the OR.
"He's an ass." Lexi snapped.
"Plastics is an arrogant field. He's a plastics god. I want to be him." Harrison smiled.
