„Thanks to you, I don't get to hang out with a gorgeous woman tonight!" Arizona huffed.

"Huh… what?" Teddy asked distractedly while scrutinizing herself in the mirror. "Is this too dark?" she inquired, turning to face Arizona and showing off black pants and a black t-shirt with a skull on it, which, in combination with her smoky eyes, made her look exceptionally Goth.

"Just a tad" the other blonde replied laughing. "Didn't you say we'd go to some grungy bar? How about we get dressed for that and not for a pirate meet-and-greet?"

Teddy glared at her for a second, then turned back to her closet. "What were you saying before? Something about me being gorgeous?"

Arizona smirked at her best friend's back "Not exactly. Somebody asked me to hang out tonight, but I declined."

"Is this who I think it is? The mystery woman you don't seem to stop talking about?"

"That's the one…" Arizona smiled "She asked me if I wanted to go out tonight. Not on a date or anything, her friends would've also been there, but still. She asked me out!" a huge smile appeared on her face.

"So what are you doing here then? Why didn't you say yes?" Teddy asked confused.

"Because you asked me to come out with you tonight. I wasn't about to blow you off for a date. That's not what best friends do… isn't that right Teddy?" Arizona lectured.

The other woman's eyes shot open and a slight smirk appeared on her face as she remembered a night in their 20's when she'd dumped Arizona in the middle of New York City and had run off with a hot Latino they had just met. "Riiight, no, you shouldn't do that… but tonight wasn't important, we could've gone out some other night as well. It's not like this whole getting drunk thing is a rarity around here…"

Teddy scrunched up her nose and turned back to her clothes. "How about this?" She presented a khaki shirt and a black jacket.

"That's as light as you'll go, huh?" Arizona teased. "Just kidding, it looks great." she quickly added when she saw Teddy's worried look, then spun around to her clothes that were sprawled all over the bed. She was already wearing a pair of skinny black slacks and her rock star-leather boots.

"So, tell me more about mystery woman." Teddy sat down on the bed "Like, her name, to start with? And how did you guys meet?"

"She's a doctor at the hospital. Danny's doctor, actually."

"Oh, really? How come I don't know her then? What's her name?"

"Callie. Callie Torres."

Teddy choked on her non-existent drink "Callie Torres? Are you sure?"

"Oh my God, you know her? Come on, give me the dirt! What's she like?"

Teddy grinned at her excited friend "Hmm, no, I don't know her too well…" she answered with a smirk, then turned her attention to Arizona's wardrobe. "You should wear that!" she pointed at the low-cut medium-blue shirt the other woman was holding.

"Really? Isn't that a bit too… skimpy for tonight?" Arizona doubted.

"Nope, that'll be perfect. You know it looks awesome on you… I'm sure you'll be turning heads tonight!" Teddy chuckled.

"Fine… I'll wear the way-too-much-cleavage shirt."

"That's the spirit!" the tall blonde replied with a gigantic smile plastered on her face while watching her friend change.

"That's a bit creepy, you know that, right?" Arizona chastised when she noticed her friend looking at her.

"Nothing wrong with appreciating a beautiful body is there?" Teddy snorted at her.

"And you're really 100% sure you're straight?" Arizona thought for what must've been the thousandth time. "Okay. Say Awesome!"

"Awesome!" Teddy chuckled.

"Great, let's go!"

When Callie arrived outside Joe's bar at around 8:30, she could hear Christina's bawling already from the parking lot. Sighing, she opened the door, stepped inside the dimly-lit room and made her way over to her friends that were sitting around a table next to the bar counter. She was greeted by a loud roar from Christina and acknowledging murmurs from Meredith and Bailey.

She sat down on one of the vacant chairs and took a sip of Christina's drink. "Holy Jesus, what is in that?" she yelled out as the mixture burnt a hot path down her throat.

The small Asian woman just shrugged her shoulders and answered dryly "Something that will make you forget four hip-replacements."

Callie rolled her eyes and got up. "Drinks, anyone? Apart from you!" She quickly added before Christina could say anything. The Latina took the other women's orders and headed over to the counter. "Hey, Joe! How's it going? Can I get three beers please?"

She chatted with the friendly bartender for a while, then grabbed the three bottles in front of her and sat back down next to Christina. "Here we go ladies, three drinks… that won't make you forget your name within half an hour" she scolded at the Asian woman as she passed the beers to the other two.

They talked for a little while until Meredith announced "Ahh, we're complete!" and pointed to the door.

Callie turned to see who'd just arrived and spotted Teddy walking through the door, a smug grin on her face. The Latina's breath hitched when she saw another blonde step into the bar. Her gaze wandered down the woman's body, over her eye-catching blue top to her long, toned legs. Her eyes wandered back up again, taking in the woman's beautiful blonde curls, until they finally settled on her face, where Callie was met with a look of surprise and… annoyance?

Callie quickly spun her head around again, her brain working desperately to figure out what was going on. "What is she doing here? She said she had plans… with Teddy? How does she know Teddy… and why would she come here? She made it obvious that she didn't want to spend time with me earlier…"

Once they were out of the apartment, Teddy all but pulled Arizona towards the bar.

"What's going on crazy lady? Why are we in such a hurry, Relax, will ya?" Arizona panted, slightly out of breath.

The other blonde just kept going, telling her friend that "they were almost there." When they finally arrived at the pub's entrance, Teddy gave her friend one last look up and down, then offered an approving smile and stepped through the door. Arizona looked after her in bewilderment, then shook her head and followed her inside.

She scanned the room and, recognizing Christina, quickly located the table with Teddy's friends. Her eyes soon fell upon the beautiful Latina next to Christina, who was staring in her direction in disbelief.

"Calliope…" Arizona whispered. She secretly took in the brunette's body, her eyes roaming over her gorgeous brown locks, her strong, muscular back covered by a tight red shirt, and her tight jeans that highlighted the Latina's firm butt.

Arizona's admiration quickly turned into annoyance when she heard Teddy chuckle next to her. She glared at her and hissed "You knew she would be here! Why didn't you say something? Now she's gonna think this is a set-up… oh, for Christ's sake, stop laughing at me Teddy!"

"Sorry!" Teddy replied, trying to contain her laughter. "I just wanted to see that look on your face when you saw her! And, to be honest, it was so worth it!" she grinned as she made her over to the table, followed by a grumbling Arizona.

"Hey guys! This is Arizona. Arizona…" she turned around to the blonde "…this is everybody. You already know Christina, and this is Meredith and Bailey. And I believe you've already met Callie?" she added with a twinkle in her eye.

"Yerrr… yes, we've met" Arizona smiled at Callie. "Hey everybody!" She was greeted with a round of welcoming words.

"Sit down, I'll get us something to drink. What can I get you?" "I'll just have a coke, thanks Teddy" the small blonde replied as she sat down. "I'm on Danny-call" she explained when she saw the surprised expression on her friends face.

"Fair enough. Anything else for you guys?"

Once Teddy had left with the orders, Meredith asked "What does 'on Danny-call' mean?"

Arizona grinned "I snatched a pager from one of the nurses and told her to page me whenever something was going on with Danny. My parents have one too, they're staying in a hotel across town at the moment. We take turns being 'on call'. And it just so happens that it's my turn tonight, so I need to stay sober" she smiled apologetically.

"Woah, woah, woah. What?" Christina interrupted. "There is one simple rule for tequila-nights: You need to drink tequila! So, blondie, you're either going to drink or…"

"Give it a rest, Christina!" Callie cut in. "You can't force her to drink. Look at the bright side: more booze left for you!" she added charmingly.

Christina's stern frown instantly softened "Oh, how true my miraculous Latin friend…" she smiled contently.

Callie leaned over to Arizona and whispered "That's tequila night with Christina for ya!" eliciting a light laugh from the blonde.

The next two hours went smoothly with everybody chatting and drinking. The at first tense atmosphere between Callie and Arizona lightened soon, and there was no shortage of stolen glances between the two, which nobody failed to notice.

"Dance with me!" Christina suddenly commanded the by now more than tipsy Bailey who eagerly followed her to the makeshift dance floor. Christina yanked the small woman towards herself and began grinding into her, which provoked a round of loud laughter from their friends. The small, normally uptight woman didn't seem to mind though as she gladly returned the gesture.

After watching the two drunkards for a while, Teddy grabbed Meredith's hand and pulled her towards the dance floor while giving Arizona a suggestive wink.

The blonde looked around the table and suddenly realized that she and Callie were the only ones left sitting. She eyed the Latina next to her that seemed oddly invested in the cocktail glass in front of her.

"You really did have plans tonight" the brunette suddenly stated.

Arizona furrowed her eyebrows "Yeah, I did. Why, did you think I was lying to you?"

Callie let out a small sigh as she looked up to the other woman. "Well, no… but you didn't exactly look happy when you saw me tonight either…"

"I was just surprised to see you. I just didn't expect it. Honestly, Calliope, I'm glad we're both here."

Callie's head snapped around and she stared at Arizona "Who told you my real name?" she asked, a slight slur in her voice undeniable.

The blonde blushed and looked down at the empty coke glass in front of her "A little birdie called Google" she cautiously looked up at the Latina whose face went from shocked to surprised and finally pleased.

"You googled me? Why, Dr Robbins, I feel honoured" she babbled with a cheeky leer on her face.

Arizona let out a relieved laugh, then turned to her glass again. "Your work is very impressive. Especially that clump foot case. Must've been an amazing feeling to see that man walk again!" she uttered.

The Latina just smiled in response and waved for Joe to bring her another drink. A couple of minutes went by with neither of them speaking, then Callie gulped down the last of her drink and turned to the blonde.

"Tell me about yourself!"

Arizona's eyes snapped up from where they'd been lingering and found the Latina's. "Huh? Sorry, I wasn't… I was just…" she cleared her throat. "Something about myself? Well, let's see. I'm a PEDs surgeon, I haven't been working for a while though, ever since…"

"You're really pretty." interrupted Callie, slurring.

Arizona stopped midsentence, her eyes went wide and she simply stared at the beautiful Latina whose blatant admission made her head spin. "Thank you. You are stunning as well, Calliope." she finally responded with a wide grin plastered on her face.

"She's drunk, she's drunk, she's drunk! She doesn't know what she's saying! She's probably not even gay." Arizona told herself, desperately trying to fight the urge to kiss the woman's delicious lips.

"I'm gonna go get another coke, can I get you anything?" she asked after a couple of moments.

"Great, Arizona, well done. Retreat, that's the only way you can deal with a drunken woman. Pat on the shoulder for you, young lady…" she could almost hear her father's teasing voice inside her head.

"Nope, I'm good, thanks"

The blonde got up and moved over to the bar, chancing back a look to the table she saw Callie starring at her own hands, which had to be superbly entertaining as she heard the Latina snicker. Arizona quickly turned around and headed to the bathroom instead of the bar, hoping that a splash of cold water in the face might help clear her mind.

Meanwhile, Callie was still sitting at the table, lost in her thoughts. What the heck was going on? This Arizona Robbins was slowly getting to her. "Is it just the drinks or is she actually that gorgeous? And the way she moves… with those slender legs in those tight jeans… not to mention her butt. Ohhh, that butt…" she reminisced. Suddenly becoming aware of her thoughts, she sat straight up and shook her head. "What is it with you tonight, Callie? She doesn't even look one bit like a man, so where is this attraction coming from? It's not like I'm into women all of the sudden… but Arizona's just so…"

"Heeey, funny face!" a very drunk Christina dropped next to her. "You've been awfully quiet tonight. Please don't tell me you're mad because tonight's tequila night and not sangria night! We discussed this! I told you that whenever…"

"Sure, Christina, it's fine. Tequila night's great as always!" the slightly less drunk Callie smiled at her friend.

"Gooood" came the content response.

"I gotta go to the ladies. I'll be back in a sec." the Latina said as she got up and stumbled towards the bathroom.

"Breathe. In and out. Slowly." Arizona studied herself in the mirror, drops of water dripping from her face.

When she got her breathing under control, she grabbed a paper towel and dried her face, careful not to smudge her makeup. She threw the paper ball into a trash can next to the sink and turned to check herself in the mirror again.

"She is drunk. She doesn't know what she's talking about, don't take advantage or push her into doing something she or you will regret." she repeated in her head.

Finally convinced that she had the situation under control, she turned and opened the door, before she all but crashed into another body. "Sorry!" she shrieked before looking up and staring into familiar deep brown eyes.

"Calliope…" she whispered for the second time of the night.
