Alex sat at an open bar waiting for Izzie to come from her visit to Denny. He couldn't blame her for staying too long with Denny. After all, if he was in Denny's position, he won't let go of her either. While he was drinking a glass of champagne, he heard a familiar voice talking to him.

"Dr. Karev, you look nice" Addison said taking a glass of champagne from a waiter that just passed by.

"Just nice? After being in your gynie squad for almost a whole month now, all I get is nice?" Alex jokingly said.

"Fine, you look handsome, dashing, sexy, attractive. Happy Now?" Addison replied in unison.

"Yeah well you're not too shabby either"

Addison smiled.

"So, where's the so called "Dr. McDreamy"?

"Went to go check on a patient about an hour ago. At least I think so. How about you? You got a hot date?"

Just then Izzie appears and Alex stops noticing Addison and spots Izzie walking towards them.

"Karev? You okay?" Addison noticed his sudden silence. She then follows his gaze and sees that he was staring at the magnificent Izzie Stevens.

"Oh, well I see you do have a hot date. Have fun Dr. Karev." She whispers. And by that, she pats Alex's shoulder and leaves him with Izzie.

"Dr. Stevens, you looks wonderful tonight," She says to Izzie while brushing past her.

"Thank You Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd. So do you." Izzie replies with a nod and a smile.

Alex approaches her with an awkward smile.

"Hey there"

"Hey. I'm so sorry I took longer than I expected."

"Don't worry about it." Alex replies in an understanding manner.

"So you ready to dance Karev?"

"Uhhhhh… I'll think I'll pass on that.

"Oh come on. Don't be such a baby" Izzie retorted.

"No. There is no way I'm dancing tonight. I'm serious." Alex shakes his head looking extremely self-conscious.

"Seriously? Then what are you gonna do for the whole night?" Izzie questioned him with an annoyed looked in her face.

"I don't know…Drink? Socialize? Sit? Any action that hasn't anything to do with dancing?"

"Okay, you know what? You might as well just go home if you're not gonna dance."

Alex looked at her for a moment and thought. This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Not everyday you get to dance with a girl like Izzie.

Ah, what the heck. Just dance with the girl already.

"Fine. But only in slow songs. I don't do good in upbeat songs." Alex finally agreed.

Izzie squealed at excitement.

"Oh wait."

She grabs a glass of champagne and finds a table where to sit in. Finally, she spots where George, Cristina, and Callie were sitting in. Alex closely follows.

"Hey you guys!" Izzie exclaimed at the three-seated people in the round table.

"Okay, what's with all the squeakiness? It's annoying, and not all people are happy like you right now. And by the way you look hot" Cristina said in a Cristina-like manner. She knew that Izzie invited Alex over to the prom and was still at shock over it.

"Thanks" Izzie smiles at her. "You look hot too."

George and Callie were in a deep conversation on their side of the table. They didn't even take notice on her and Alex.

"Hey, did you see Meredith come in yet?" Izzie asked curiously.

"Uhh… yeah, like an hour ago. Why?" Cristina replied while taking a drink in her wine glass.

"Nothing"

Alex thought it was weird that both Derek and Meredith were gone in the same time limit.

"Funny 'cause I was just talking to Addison and she said Derek was gone and checked on a patient over an hour ago." Alex retorted.

"Get your mind out of the gutter Karev." Cristina shakes her head.

Then suddenly, the upbeat music stops and a slow song plays.

Izzie stands up from her seat and holds her hand out to Alex who stares at her awkwardly while Cristina laughs.

"Oh this is definitely something worth seeing. Alex Karev dancing. Niice"

"You're evil you know that right" Alex replies as he stands up from the chair he was sitting in.

Him and Izzie go to the dance floor.

"I'm gonna step on your petticoats. Just so you know, I'm seriously gonna step on your dress. So you might not want to dance with a guy who might step on your dress" Alex jokingly says.

"If you step on my dress, you'll rip it and I'll be naked for everyone to see," Izzie smiles as she leans her head on his shoulder. His cologne was distinguishable. From the moment she first met him that was always the same scent he wore. She can smell that cologne and can tell that it was Alex.

"Oh, it won't be the first time for everyone to see you naked in your underwear", he winked as Izzie laughed.

Alex smiled hearing and watching Izzie laugh. There was something special in her laugh. The way she tilts her head back and lets out a remarkable sound. The way her eyes lit up and her lips drew. He loved it every time she laughed.

Before he knew it, the song ended and he looked at Izzie. He wanted to kiss her so badly but was afraid that it would ruin what they had. So he lets it slide and smiles at her.

"I survived" Alex grinned.

"You did" Izzie replied with a smile.
