Hello again! Haha, finally getting another chapter written. This time I'm writing at 11:30 and listening to 'Airplanes' by B.o.B. and Hayley Williams. This song is my inspiration for this chapter. This one is short too, but I promise I'll post a long one sometime soon. I guess I'm just against long one shots, they taker me forever to write and I have ADD, so I have a lot of trouble staying focused on one thing for too long. Anyway, I'll stop rambling on.
Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's Anatomy. I really wish I'd been the genius to come up with it, but sadly I wasn't. All of the characters are property of Shondaland inc.
Wishing on Airplanes
I was staring at her again. I had to stop this, she was going to think I was insane. She pushed a lock of hair out of her face and turned around. She took a few steps forward, not paying attention to where she was going and smacked right into me. "Whoa! Mark! What are you doing here?" She looked up at me her blues eyes filled with surprise. "I was ummm, looking for Callie." I replied flatly. "On the peds floor?" She replied cocking an eyebrow at me. I sighed. "I need your help." I replied feeling ridiculous. She stared blankly at me. "With what?" She asked seeming confused. "You're Arizona. You fix people. I need fixing." I replied with another heavy sigh. She laughed and checked her watch. "Perfect timing." She replied with a laugh. She grabbed my wrist and drug me into her office. She smiled at the digital clock on her desk and then drug me over to the window. "Look! A shooting star!" She squealed pointing at an airplane.
"Arizona, that's an airplane." I replied giving her a funny look. She sighed. "Just pretend. You can still make a wish!" She replied enthusiastically. I sighed and closed my eyes. I wish to find the right person for me. I sighed and opened my eyes. "Don't tell anyone your wish or it won't true!" She smiled at me and I smiled back. "Thanks Arizona." I replied chuckling softly. She beamed back at me. "You're welcome!" She replied perkily and we walked out f the office together. We bumped into Callie in the hall and I smiled. "Hey Calliope!" Arizona smiled brightly and gave her a hug. I smiled at her and continued on down the hall. I was in a much better mood as I hit the button for the elevator. It came almost immediately, but when the doors open I got an unwelcome surprise.
Standing in the elevator was none other than Teddy Altman. Oh, shit. I stepped into the elevator and checked the buttons. The main floor button was already lit up. 6 floors away, it was likely to be my only chance to apologize. I hit the stop button and the elevator ground to a halt, the alarm sounding within the elevator. She stared at me. "Why'd you stop the elevator?" She asked bewildered. I sighed. "I never got the chance to apologize to you." I replied looking her dead in the eye. She held my gaze for a few seconds and then averted her eyes. "Teddy?" I whispered softly. She met my eyes again. "I forgive you." She replied smiling half-heartedly. "Can we be friends?" I asked my voice hopeful. She nodded and I hit the start button on the elevator.
