Meredith got off the plane and stepped out of the airport to the city that had some of her childhood memories...Seattle. Now she was to start her new life there, as a surgeon.
Mer arrived at her old house to find that it had some furnishing, but everything was not up to date and reminded mer of her mom. Which at the moment considering what her mom thought of her becoming a surgeon was not a good thing. Mer decided that over the next couple of days she would clean and shop around for furniture.
Mer had gotten everything set up and had picked up some furniture within the two weeks that she had been in Seattle, and she started her job tomorrow at Seattle Grace Hospital, where she would be a surgical intern. Mer realized at about five that she had to get to the party that the hospital staff was holding in honor of the new residents that were joining the staff. So she got up got in the shower and got ready in a black dress with heals and her hair straight
Mer: well it's now or never, lets go make a good impression shall we?
She said to herself in the mirror, and she walked out the door.
She arrived at the mixer at about six thirty, she didn't really recognize anyone so she walked over to the food
Mer: (thinking) man I'm starving!
She looked up when she had gotten the food that she was looking for and she saw someone that looked all too familiar to her, Richard Webber.
Mer: (A/N: Italics and bold refers to characters thoughts!) what is he doing here? Oh no I think he might have seen me, I got to get out of here
and mer had barely been there for 30 minutes when she walked out the door to leave
mer: what was I thinking, I shouldn't have just walked out... now what? Well I guess I can just go get me something from the grocery store...like ice cream, yeah ice cream sounds good, off to target
mer drove to target and started to walk down to the ice cream section, she turned the corner not really realizing that she was walking at a brisk pace, turned a corner and ran smack into a tall figure and fell straight on her butt
man: I'm so sorry, are you ok?
He bent down on his knees to check her head
mer: oww, oh
looking up at the tall, dark, guy with the most gorgeous hair and blue eyes
mer: yeah I'm fine
the guy picked up Mer's petit body and put her back down on her feet
guy: are you sure, you took a pretty good fall
mer: well besides the fact that I am totally embarrassed, I just have a headache
guy: well... I feel really bad, so let me buy you a drink
mer: tequila is much than ice cream well...I guess that would be ok
guy: great, I'm Derek Shepherd by the way
mer: Meredith Grey crap, I just said Grey, please do not be in the medical field please
if Derek realized that she was a Grey he didn't give any indication that he knew
Der: nice to meet you Meredith
mer: well, do you want me to meet you at a bar, I have my car
Der: sure, I know a great little place, emerald city bar, right across the street from Seattle Grace Hospital, do you know where that is?
Mer: sure do
Der: great see you in a few, are you sure you're ok?
Mer: yeah, thank you Derek
she smiled and waved and walked away
Der: I hope she shows up...she will I'm irresistible
