(A/N: Still not claiming any of the show. Besides, I wouldn't touch S3 with a 10-foot pole. And I greatly appreciate the comments - thank you!)

George and Callie enter Joe's, weeding their way through the sea of bodies to the bar.

"George, I don't think we should get involved."

George motions to Joe. "I don't have a choice."

Callie looks at George. "You mean we don't have a choice?"

"No, I mean me," George shrugged. "I don't think arranging for a cab for Dr. Shepard is hurting anything. I can take care of this. Besides, I'm sure Meredith wouldn't want me to leave the man stranded. And…"

"…and he is our boss."

"The man is our boss. I still need to worry about getting into surgeries." George kissed Callie's cheek. "You don't."

"Hey George, Callie, what'll it be?" Joe wiped off the bar top.

"We'll take a couple of beers and a cab for Dr. Shepard."

"Is he still upright and mobile?" Joe questioned as he reached for the phone.

Callie and George exchanged a look, waiting for Joe to end the call. "Uh, yeah. Why wouldn't he?" George stuttered.

Serving up the beers, Joe tilted his head towards the woman a few stools over drunkenly dabbing a towel at the wet stains on her shirt. "That one was trying to get pretty friendly with him."

Callie reached for her glass. "Did he return the friendliness?"

Joe shook his head. "Not really. Unfortunately, Meredith was here to see his drunken stupidness in action."

George gasped as the woman turned her head in their direction. "Dr. Grey?"

She smiled at George. "Dr…Mall?"

Joe and Callie exchanged a confused look. "Grey?"

Ignoring the questioning look on Callie's face, George moved forward. "That's O'Malley. Dr. O'Malley."

"Where's Dreamboat?"

Determined to get a few answers, Callie extended her hand before George could respond. "Hi. I'm Dr. Callie O'Malley."

"Dr. Lexie Grey." Lexie toyed with the towel she was holding. "Are you two related?"

"We're married," Callie snorted.

"Oh, that's nice…"

"You sound a little disappointed…"

George motioned to Callie to stop talking. Callie silently challenged him before continuing. "Who's Dreamboat?"

Lexie swooned. "He has really good hair."

Joe coughed. "He's probably bald by now."

The news made Lexie teary. "Why? He has such pretty hair!"

George grabbed the seat next to Lexie. He knew Callie will kill him later, but George had no doubt this called for his involvement. After all, this affected his family.

"Dr. Grey, we need to talk about, er, Dreamboat…"
