Chapter Four: Reunion
Airport
Mark: Hey, Mer I have our stuff. Are you ready to go?
Meredith: Yeah, I am but let me change first and you should change also
Mark: Why do I have to change?
Meredith: We are going to Four Seasons Country Club for Addie's wedding shower and we have to look nice.
Mark: Alright fine, I'll go change but I'll meet you out here in 10 minutes
Meredith: Okay
Outside Seattle Airport
Mark: Wow, Mer wow; you look beautiful
Meredith: Thanks Mark
Mark: you're welcome
Meredith: Mark?
Mark: Yes, Mer
Meredith: Please tell me that you aren't wearing that tie (Referring to the baby blue tie that Mark was wearing)
Mark: Yes, I am. Is there a problem with it
Meredith: No, no there's no problem at all it just looks like your tie is made out of my dress material.
Mark: So, you think that we are trying too hard by dressing alike?
Meredith: yes, I want us to look good together and not match. By us matching it looks like we are trying to hard
Mark: Mer, if you look people in their eyes they won't notice what you're wearing besides we already look good together. With my good looks and your good looks, we're a match made in heaven.
Meredith: But, still if you're going to wear that I am going to have to change. So, on the way to four seasons I will have to stop and change again
Mark: Fine, Mer we will stop somewhere on the way
Meredith: Thank you
Hotel Restroom
Meredith: What about this dress? (Comes out in a short red dress)
Mark: You look fine
Meredith: Fine, just fine
Mark: you look good in anything you wear
Meredith: I want to look so good that Alex will be like I shouldn't have let you go, you're gorgeous.
Mark's thoughts
I wish Meredith would stop talking about Alex. Every time she mentions his name I want to strangle him. Alex never deserved Meredith in the first place. If Alex wouldn't have broken up with Meredith then I'd never meet Meredith and I wouldn't be as happy as I am now. I just wish Meredith would open her eyes and see what is right in front of her. Damn it, all I want to do is just sweep her up in my arms and kiss her senseless.
Mark: I prefer the yellow dress with the chiffon layer skirt
Meredith: Finally, some input. Thank you
Mark: How many times are you going to thank me? I know you are thankful but you don't always have to say thank you to me.
Meredith: I know, Mark. It's just I want you to know that I appreciate all of this, I really do
Mark: Okay, but you could thank me another way
Meredith: I will one day Mark.
Mark: Are you ready to go to Four seasons?
Meredith: Yes, let's go
Four Seasons
Ellis: Meredith honey is that you?
Meredith: Mom!
Ellis: Oh honey, where have you been? I've missed you my dear
Meredith: Mom, you know where I've been. I've been in Boston
Ellis: Oh, Addie and James will be so happy to see you
Meredith: Mom, there is someone I would like you to meet
Ellis: Really, who?
Meredith: Mom, this is Mark
Mark: Hello, Dr. Grey-Montgomery I'm Dr. Mark Sloan the new guy
Ellis: The new guy? Meredith, I didn't know you had a new guy. You've hardly talked about him
Meredith: I know, I just didn't know how you would react so I decided not to bring it up
Ellis: Well, I must greet some other guests you should try and find James and Addie. It was nice meeting you Mark.
Mark: It was nice meeting you too Dr. Grey-Montgomery
Ellis: Mark, it's Ellis; you may call me Ellis
Mark: Okay, Ellis
Meredith: That went well
Mark: It sure did.
James: Merry Berry!
Meredith: James!
James: Merry Berry, don't you ever leave us again. We've all missed you so
Meredith: I missed you guys too, James. I can't make a promise about leaving though
James: Well, who is this dashing young lad next to you
Meredith: Oh James this is Dr. Mark Sloan my boyfriend
James: Boyfriend? I didn't even know you had a boyfriend Merry Berry
Meredith: Yeah, I just haven't really talked about him that much
James: Hello, Mark
Mark: Hello Dr. Montgomery
James: So, how did you guys meet? I want to know about your relationship
Meredith: Um, James could you excuse us for a minute
James: Of course my dear but, don't forget to find Addie. She will be thrilled to see you
Meredith: Okay
Coat closet
Mark: If you wanted some alone time with me Mer, all you had to do is say so
Meredith: Mark, shut up
Mark: What are we doing here?
Meredith: We need a story.
Mark: A story?
Meredith: Yes a story, a story of how we got together. Let's see; we met when I started Medical school and you were starting your internship. We fell madly in love and you're crazy about me.
Mark: People won't care about our story Mer. Just as long as they see how happy we are together and how great we are together they won't care. So, you can stop all of your worrying
Meredith: Mark, people here they do care. Please do it for me?
Mark: Okay
Back at the party
Meredith: Addie! Addie! Addison Michelle Forbes Montgomery soon to be Shepard!
Addison: Meredith! I'm so glad you could come. I've missed you
Meredith: I've missed you too
Addison: I'm getting married, Mer
Meredith: I know you are
Addison: I'm so glad that you're here Mer. Do you know what the best thing about me getting married is?
Meredith: That the whole world finally revolves around you for once
Addison: Exactly, so who did you bring?
Meredith: Oh, sorry. Addie this is Mark; Mark this is Addie
Mark: Hello, Addie congratulations
Addison: Thank you. Meredith, you didn't tell me you had a McSteamy.
Mark: McSteamy?
Addison: Yeah ever since Meredith and I were in high school we would make up nicknames for each other's boyfriends and they'd start with Mc-something
Mark: Why am I McSteamy?
Addison: I don't know it just works with you
Meredith: Speaking of McNicknames where is McDreamy?
Mark: Who is McDreamy?
Meredith: Derek
Addison: Derek, Derek come here
Derek: Hello future Mrs. Shepard
Addison: Hello, future husband
Meredith: Oh my god, you guys are like a sickening lovey dovey couple
Derek: Meredith, welcome back. I'm glad you could make it to the wedding
Meredith: Thank you. Derek, I'd like you to meet Mark
Derek: Hey, Mark it's nice to meet you
Mark: Same to you, congratulations. You found yourself a great one
Derek: Thanks, so did you
Mark: That I did
Derek: Let's go get a drink Mark
Mark: Sounds great. Bye Mer
Meredith: Bye Mark
Addison: Meredith Ellis Grey
Meredith: Yes, Addie
Addison: I can't believe you didn't tell me about McSteamy. I thought I was like your sister
Meredith: I know Addie and you are like my sister. I didn't want to tell you and ruin your day. Your wedding is about you not me
Addison: But, I still care for you Meredith
Meredith: I know, so tell me what the plan is for the wedding week
Addison: Okay, as you know today is the wedding shower. Tomorrow is the picnic and softball game. Wednesday is the Bachelorette and Bachelor party. Thursday is the wedding rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. Last but not least Friday is the wedding, the day I will be Mrs. Derek Shepard.
Meredith: Oh, Addie. I am so happy for you. You got yourself a great one
Addison: Thanks Meredith. Anyway, I am going to run off and find my groom, but we'll talk later okay
Meredith: Okay. Bye Addie
Addison: Bye
Meredith's thoughts
I've seen everyone in my family so far except for Alex. I am so happy that Addie is happy. Everyone seemed to like Mark. Mark fits right in with my family. Maybe coming back wasn't such a bad idea.
Alex: Hello, Meredith
Meredith: Alex?
Meredith's thoughts
As I am turning around by hearing my name called I am wondering who it is. Oh my god, it's Alex!
