XXXXXXXXXX
"So I have the day off today. Do you have the day off today?"
"Is this where you ask if we can have sex tonight?"
"What?"
"Nothing. Since when do you take the day off?" Addison dangled a bottle in front of Truman, trying to tempt him to finish it off, Astrid watching her every move.
"Since I had nothing better to do."
Addison cradled the phone against her shoulder, "There was nothing for you to do at the hospital?"
"I took the day off. Do you have the day off?"
"If you have the day off why are are you calling me?"
"Do. You. Have. The. Day. Off?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to do something?"
"Do what?"
"I don't know. I'll pick you up."
XXXX
Addison closed the door to Astrid's cage and grabbed her sunglasses when she heard a car honking in front of her house.
The door had barely closed behind her when she stopped, stared and turned around going back inside.
Moments later she returned with her camera.
Snapping a quick picture she slide into the front seat of the red convertible that Derek was driving, "I'm sending that to your mother."
"Deep down inside, you love this car."
"Your having a mid-life crisis." Addison informed him.
"If so," Derek replied, putting the car in drive, "You brought it on."
XXXX
"Where are we going?"
Derek shrugged, as he waited his turn to drive onto the ferry "Seattle has 3 ferry routes, I've only been on 2."
"I've only been on the one to get home," Addison admitted.
Derek smiled, "Then we'll go on the other one next time." he nodded to the other side of the water," I want to know what's over there."
"Okay," Addison agreed, "And what will we do once we are over there?"
"Hang out, get something to eat, see what there is to do."
"Can we shop?"
Derek smirked, "I suppose."
"And get ice cream?"
"I guess."
Addison gave him a serious look, "Will you wear an 'I Love Seattle' t-shirt?"
Derek groaned, "No."
"Please," Addison requested, no real emotion in her voice.
Derek raised an eyebrow, "I will if you will."
"Fine."
"Fine."
Derek smirked, he knew that she would never wear one.
XXXX
"Add, this is the most disgusting pub I have ever seen,"
Addison shrugged, "The sign says world famous onion rings."
"But I hate onion rings."
"But I love them."
"Fine." Derek led them to a table that looked more or less clean.
A bored looking waitress approached, "In honour of the founder of the restaurant," she said in a nasally voice, obviously not interested in what she was saying, "For today all pitchers are four dollars and all food is half price. We are also offering for today only $1 bottles of import beer."
"She wants the onion rings," Derek sighed, "And you might as well bring us a pitcher of whatever is on tap." Addison help up two fingers, "Actually bring us each a pitcher."
The waitress stared at them a second, apparently memorizing there order, then walked away.
"That's allot of beer Add."
Addison shrugged, "We are going to need it," she nodded to the stage, "There's a band. This is an irish pub."
XXXX
Derek leaned close to Addison, "We need to leave this pub," he whispered.
"Why? I'm having fun."
"I bet you are," Derek laughed. Addison was the center of attention. The band had played for 10 minutes, which was there entire repertoire, and had then had ended up joining the former Mr and Mrs Shepherd at there table. Derek might have been jealous if the youngest hadn't been at least 65, "But we've spent 14 dollars on beer. I'm concerned for our health."
Addison sighed, "Sorry boys," she teased, "Someone is feeling neglected." She winked at Derek.
Derek slapped the should of the band member nearest him, "You can't really blame me for wanting her to myself."
The laughingly said their good byes And walked out into the early afternoon sun.
"Oh God," Addison squinted and shielded her eyes, "What time is it?"
Derek glanced at his watch, "2:17."
"We should walk this off."
"Agreed," Derek said falling into step beside her.
"Oooh, look," Addison grabbed his arm."Ice Cream."
XXXX
"Are you almost ready?" Derek stood outside the gas station bathroom impatiently. He had bought the t-shirts, he had put on his t-shirt, now he was waiting for her to do the same.
"Ready," she said calmly, exiting the washroom.
Derek stared at her. She had rolled the bottom of the to big t-shirt and tied in in a knot on her side. Derek stared at her stomach.
"Ready to go?" she smirked, leaning against the car.
"That's not fair," he told her, getting in the car, "Not fair."
XXXX
"Uuummmmm," Addison moaned, "I didn't realize how much I have missed, dirty greasy hot dogs and fries."
"Almost as good as New York?"
"Almost," Addison stared up at the sky. She was laying on her back across the front seat of the car, her head resting against Derek's leg, "Do you ever miss New York?"
Derek reached over and grabbed some of the fries from the bag on Addison stomach, "Not lately."
Ring!
Addison sat half way up and grabbed the offending cell phone.
"Amanda," she read off the caller ID of Derek's phone.
"Ignore it."
XXXX
Derek stared at the flickering screen. He hadn't been to a drive-in in probably twenty years. He tightened him arm around Addison's shoulder. She had fallen asleep 20 minutes into the movie.
His phone rang again and he flipped it open before it could wake her up.
"Hello?" It's was Meredith. "Hey Mer.. Ya I had a great day off." he leaned over and kissed Addison's temple, "I'm watching a movie. At the drive-in actually." Addison shifted slightly against him, "Can I call you later? The movie is almost over. "Kay. Bye."
Addison murmured something in her sleep and buried herself in his side.
He nuzzled her hair gently, "You ready to go?"
Addison nodded.
"Okay. Let's go home."
XXXX
Addison sighed as they pulled up in front of her house. She turned her head to find Derek watching her.
"I have next Thursday afternoon off."
Addison grinned, and slide out of the car, "I might be able to get sometime off around then."
"So maybe I should pick you up around 2?"
"So maybe you should pick me up on a motorcycle."
Derek was still laughing as he drove away.
XXXX
"What are you doing?" floated Meredith voice over the phone.
Derek leaned against the pillows of his bed and adjusted the screen of his laptop, "I am thinking about buying a motorcycle."
Meredith laughed, "I cannot picture you on a motorcycle."
Derek shrugged, clicking on the flashing icon indicting he had mail.
To: Shepherd, Derek
From: Shepherd, Addison
Subject: Pictures from today
Derek smile grew has he scrolled through the pictures that he and Addison had taken during the day. He laughed out loud at one of Addison kissing the cheek of one of the ancient band members.
"What so funny?" Meredith asked.
"Nothing," Derek replied vaguely, a huge grin on his face, "Just some pictures someone sent me."

Hey good looking, why the frown?
You always look better when it's upside down
You say you got nowhere that you're going to
Can I go nowhere with you?
I took the Dartmouth Ferry into the town,
Spent my pennies bumming around,
Tryin' to find a way to tear a strip off these boots,
Can I go nowhere with you?
Paid the cover, saw the show,
Sat at the bar where the drinks did flow.
Didn't see a single face that I knew,
'Till I went nowhere with you.
We'll kill some time, it looks like you might
need a little company,
I'm so cheap I may as well be free.
whoa whoa whoa whoa!
If you feel tired and want to go home,
I'm still wired, I can go it alone,
Same time next week at a quarter past ten?
And we can go nowhere again.
If you show up then, you know I will too,
Can I go nowhere with you?
XXXXXXXXXX
Not gonna lie. I heard this song an decided that Addison and Derek had to spend a day together bumming around. So, this chapter has no real point.
And By the way, who is Amanda?
Next time: Caleb. And prehaps an authors note discussing why you seem to hate Addek sex.
Review cause it's all that i am living for right now.I'm not kidding. Like reviews are down and i find it depressing and it makes me cry into my pillow everynight and the random boys are finding it hard to sleep.
