I don't own Grey's Anatomy. If I did, I would be slightly embarrassed, considering what's going on...They are killing Mer and Der!

Meredith spent the day in the pit. A construction worked came in with a gash on his leg. She quickly sewed it up and turned him loose. That was how her day was going. She thought about Anna, most of the morning. Since Ian came to town, she hadn't gone to see her. She felt guilty about it. She knew she had to make it a point to see her. Like she had time to do everything anymore. She barely had time to sleep, and she was swapped with Ian's trouble, not to mention the other things she had been plotting in her head. She was relieved when an emergency appendectomy walked in the door. She quickly paged Dr. Bailey and they did the necessary tests.

"Okay, prep her." Dr. Bailey ordered as she looked at the scans. "She looks like she's ready to rupture."

"Right away." Meredith said. Dr. Bailey walked out. Meredith looked at the girl, who was white as a ghost.

"I'm scared." The fourteen year old said quietly.

"You will be okay." Meredith assured her, as she rubbed her hand. "This is a simple surgery."

"Do you promise I'll be okay?" Kendra asked with a fearful look on her face.

"Um. Well. I am sure you will be fine." Meredith stammered. Things happened on the table. She didn't want to make a promise she may not be able to keep.

"Okay." Kendra said with a sigh. "Will I talk in my sleep? I usually talk in my sleep."

"Well, you will be intebated. So no, you won't." Meredith answered.

"Good. When I slept at my friend's last weekend, I was talking. I guess I accidentally said I like her boyfriend." Kendra said with embarrassment.

"Well, do you?" Meredith asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, a little. He's cool." Kendra admitted. "Are you married?"

"Well. I guess, kind of." Meredith said, wondering why she didn't just lie. She didn't consider Ian her husband.

"Kind of?" Kendra asked with a scrunched nose..

"Yes, I am. I'm married, but we are--" Meredith started.

"Getting a divorce?" Kendra asked. Meredith nodded. "Yeah, out of all of my friend's, my parents are the only ones that are still married. You shouldn't get a divorce. It's sad."

"Well, we just don't love each other." Meredith said frankly.

"Well, you must have sometime. You should try to fix it." Kendra said wisely.

"Oh, I'll think about it." Meredith said with a laugh. If she only knew. "Let's get you into surgery." Meredith said as she wheeled the gurney out of the room. They passed Derek by the nurses station.

"Hey." Derek said. She stopped the gurney.

"Hey." She said with a smile. He leaned over and kissed her. "I'll see you later." She smiled as she walked away.

"It looks like you still love each other." Kendra stated. Meredith just shook her head. The nurses grabbed the gurney and Meredith made her way to the scrub room.

-----------------

Meredith sat there at the lunch table in her own little world. Her friends were still doing assignments. She was the only one that was done. For once in her life she was really looking forward to talking to them. She had to let them in on her little plan. The plan that was going to bring Ian to his knees. She didn't even hear Addison's heels clicking on the pavement. Addison she walked up and sat down softly.

"Hey, stranger." Addison said happily as leaned back in her chair.

"Hey. Sorry it's been so long..." Meredith trailed off. She had missed her conversations with Addison. She was like a wise older sister.

"Yeah, well I hear you have an excuse." Addison replied, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Yeah." Meredith said in disgust.

"So, what are you going to do?" Addison asked.

"Well, I am going to try to talk to Ethan, Ian's dad." Meredith said. "He holds the key."

Meredith filled her in on what had happened with Ian. Addison was shocked that Derek allowed him to stay. Not that is was really his decision. But Addison knew him well enough to know what he was up to.

"So, do you still have feelings for Ian?" Addison asked.

"No. Absolutely not!" Meredith said quickly. "But the weird thing is, I have had sex dreams about him the last two nights." Meredith said with a look of shame. "I don't know what is wrong with me. It's horrible."

"Was it good sex?" Addison asked.

"Real life or dream?" Meredith asked.

"Real life." Addison clarified as she took a bite of her croissant.

"Yeah, it was." Meredith admitted.

"Well, there you go." Addison laughed. "It doesn't mean you want him back. It's just that your head going crazy."

"You think?" Meredith asked.

"Just don't tell Derek." Addison said. "Maybe you should tape your mouth shut at night. It wouldn't be good if you scream his name."

"No kidding, he's seen enough as it is." Meredith sighed. She saw her friends walking up. Addison took that as her cue to leave.

"Lunch, on your next day off!" Addison demanded as she walked away.

"Okay." Meredith shouted to her. "Hey guys."

"Hey..." They all responded.

"So, you're here early." Cristina said quickly.

"The joys of the pit. I did manage to get in on an appi." Meredith said happily.

"Oh? Appendectomy? Was this one with McDreamy?" Izzie laughed.

"Shepherd doesn't do appendectomies." Alex said with a furrowed brow.

"He does Meredith's kind." Izzie laughed and glanced over at Meredith.

"Shut up!" Meredith said quickly, giving Izzie a glare.

"What does that mean?" Cristina asked with raised eyebrows.

"Nothing." Meredith returned quickly, shaking her head.

"Oh, just that Meredith is a... PORN STAR!" George said loudly.

"What?" Alex said with a laugh.

"I put in a surgical tape labeled 'Appendectomy' last night. It ended up being Mer and Ian. Apparently they have a collection." Izzie giggled.

"Seriously?" Cristina asked.

"Man, I miss everything." Alex whined. "Was it good?"

"We didn't see much." George clarified.

"You are a dirty girl!" Cristina laugh. "A collection? How many?"

"Ten." Meredith muttered under her breath.

"Holy crap! Ten!" Cristina said in shock. "You are a porn star."

"Am not!" Meredith said quickly.

"Can I watch it?" Alex asked, already knowing the answer.

"No!" Meredith shouted. "Now seriously. I have an important question to ask."

"What?" George asked, looking over at her.

"What do you want more than anything?" Meredith asked. "If you had money, what would you do with it?"

"How much money?" Alex asked, taking a bite of his sandwich.

"Uh, I don't know. Ten thousand dollars." Meredith said purposefully.

"Ten thousand? Just to spend?" George asked.

"Yes, that's what I said." Meredith snapped.

"I would pay off some of my med school debt." George said.

"I would buy patients. Then I could do surgeries all day." Cristina said happily.

"Seriously!" Meredith spat.

"Uh, I don't know. I guess I would buy every cardio book and movie I could find." Cristina said quickly. "Or maybe a new bike."

"I would buy porn." Alex laughed.

"Seriously?" Meredith asked.

"Yeah. Porn and maybe a lifetime membership to the gym." Alex shook his head.

"Izzie?" Meredith asked.

"I don't know. I paid my med school tuition." She said with a shrug. "A newer car. I really do hate that piece... Something good on gas." Izzie said with a laugh.

"What would you want?" George asked Meredith.

"Revenge." She stated simply. "But I will be getting that. Fifty thousand dollars worth." She said with and evil laugh. They all gave her a puzzled look and shrugged.

"What time is everyone off tonight?" Meredith asked.

"Five." Most of them answered.

"I am on-call." Alex replied.

"You'll get yours tomorrow, or later. We'll see." Meredith said as she stood up. "Cristina, Izzie, meet me at the locker room after your shift. George, you go to Joe's at seven." They all shook their heads yes. She walked away with a grin on her face.

"What the hell is she up to?" Cristina asked.

"This is Mer...who knows." Izzie stated.

----------------

Meredith got off of work a half an hour earlier than everyone else. She had something to do. She had been thinking about it a lot. She had a feeling. She knew it was meant to be. She knew she was the one. She marched right up to Anna's floor. She found Dr. Watson. He was leaning up against the nurses station reading a chart.

"Hello, Dr. Watson." Meredith said with a smile.

"Ah, Dr. Grey, is it?" He asked. Meredith looked at his smile. He was young, at least he looked young.

"Yes. I have been thinking..." Meredith started nervously. Her hands were shaking, and her palms were starting to sweat. "I want to be Anna's bone marrow donor."

"Oh. Well, you may not even be a match." He said with regret.

"I am." Meredith said.

"You've been tested?" He asked excitedly.

"Well, no. I just know I am." She spat out quickly.

"With all due respect, Dr. Grey, you knowing, doesn't really mean a thing." He said with an innocent chuckle.

"Well, I'd like to be tested." Meredith said quickly. "I want to be a donor. Even if I can't be hers. I want to be a donor."

"Well, that is very generous of you, Dr. Grey." He said with a smile. "We can set everything up."

"I can come by after my shift tomorrow. And I have Tuesday off." She suggested.

"Sounds good. Have you seen our favorite patient?" He asked, motioning to her room.

"Not in a while." Meredith said. "That is where I am headed. I will see you tomorrow."

"Looking forward to it." He said as she walked away.

Meredith walked towards Anna's room. She saw Anna's Grandmother sitting in a chair. Her face turned hard as stone when her eyes met Meredith's. Something wasn't right. What If I am too late? If I wasn't such a fucking procrastinator. Damn-it. She picked up her pace as she neared the room.

"Dr. Grey." Anna's grandmother Peggy spat.

"Um, Hello...Peggy" Meredith said with a smile. "Is Anna okay?" Meredith asked with concern.

"I do not think that is any of your business." She said as she stood up. Her eyes were level with Meredith's.

"Excuse me?" Meredith asked in shock.

"You lied to us. You said you visited the patients. You just visit Anna. You deceived us." Peggy responded angrily.

"I uh--" Meredith started.

"No. You didn't tell us you were friends with Brian. I want you to leave." She yelled.

"I wasn't." Meredith said defensively. "I--" She started.

"You don't have to explain. That nice woman, Holly Davison, explained everything to me!" She said loudly.

"Holly Davison?" Meredith asked, in shock. That bitch! "She is trouble."

"No, Dr. Grey, it is you that is trouble." She yelled. "Do I need to call security?"

"No. I'll go." Meredith whispered as she walked away with her head dropped.

--------------

"Where are we going?" Izzie asked as she looked out the car window.

"We are almost there..." Meredith said with a smile.

The smile was fake. She could not believe Holly had done that to her. She wasn't hurting her, she was hurting Anna. That is what made her so upset. That she purposely hurt an innocent kid. A kid that had been through hell. She didn't have a mother or a father. And now, she had one less friend.

"Why are we going here?" Izzie asked as she looked at the car dealership.

"You said you wanted a car." Meredith said frankly.

"I can't afford a car!" Izzie spat.

"So, the Prius gets great gas mileage. Do you like it?" Meredith asked.

"Yeah, but-" Izzie said quickly.

"You're buying Barbie a car?" Cristina asked in shock.

"Yep." Meredith said happily.

"So pick one." Meredith said as they jumped out of the jeep.

"Oh my God, Mer. You can't do this!" Izzie said in shock.

"I want to." Meredith spat. "Izzie, go pick a damn car!" Izzie bounced away.

"Are you nuts?" Cristina asked as she looked at Meredith.

"No." Meredith said simply.

"Are you dying?" She asked with worry.

"No." Meredith shrugged. "So, do you want a bike?"

"Are you buying?" Cristina asked.

"Yep." Meredith smiled.

"Then hell yes, I do." She said quickly.

Izzie and Cristina had no idea what Meredith was up to. They were slightly worried. She was being impulsive. Meredith was never impulsive. Not like this. Not with this much money. But Meredith was insistent. She wouldn't take no for an answer. Cristina ended up getting a new Suzuki and Izzie grabbed a newer Toyota Prius. Meredith was pleased that her friends were so happy. Everything was settled and they all headed to Joe's. Meredith had three quick stops to make before she headed to Joe's.

Meredith bounded up the stairway quickly. She knew she was really going get it when the day was done. She flung the door open and walked onto the floor. She had a huge smile on her face. She was still upset about Anna, but this was definitely helping. She didn't even notice Derek.

"Hey." Derek said, surprised to see her.

"Hey." Meredith said with a smile. He leaned in and kissed her.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"Just running some errands. When are you off?" She asked.

"Actually, right now." He said with a grin. "I just have to change."

"Good. We're all meeting at Joe's." Meredith told him. "I'll meet you right here in ten minutes."

"Sounds good." Derek said as he walked away.

Meredith searched all over for Alex. He wasn't in surgery, he wasn't in the pit. Finally she decided to look in the on-call rooms. Even though it was early, he may be getting ahead on his sleep. She opened the door and saw him laying on the top bunk.

"Here." She said as she threw an envelope at him. He jerked awake.

"What's this?" He asked as he held the envelope.

"Open it." She said simply.

"Holy crap, Grey!" Alex said in shock.

"Yep." She shook her head.

"It's a lifetime membership for the gym." Alex said. "And porn!" He laughed. "Why?"

"Just think of it as a friendly gift!" She said as she opened the door and walked out.

"Thanks!" He yelled. He couldn't believe she did that.

---------------

Joe's was busy. Really busy. Meredith smiled. It was going to make it even better. She grabbed Derek's hand, and walked over to a high-top. Her friends were all looking at her with big smiles. George sat there waiting. He knew that something was going on, but Izzie and Cristina refused to tell him. Meredith discreetly handed him a thick envelope under the table.

"What's this?" He asked. He opened it and his eyes widened.

"Pay off some of your loans." Meredith said in a whisper.

"No, Mer. I can't take this." He said, shoving it towards her.

"You can, and you will." She said, pushing his hand back. "Ten thousand." She said.

"Well. Um. Thanks." He said with a huge smile.

Derek walked up with their drinks. He looked around the table. They all looked unusually happy. He brushed it off and sat down with the group. They all looked up when Ian walked in. Meredith whispered something to George. He shook his head in agreement.

"Hey, Guys." Ian said. "I'm surprised you invited me to a bar!" Ian laughed.

"I thought you deserved a night out." She laughed. "What do you want to drink?" She asked.

"The usual." He said quickly.

"Bourbon." Meredith returned as she walked to the bar. She quickly came back.

"Hey, Ian. You want to play darts?" George asked, he winked at Meredith.

"Uh, sure." Ian responded. He and George walked away. Meredith slid his debit card back into his wallet.

Everyone sat there having a good time. Meredith was counting down the time. She couldn't wait, the suspense was killing her. She watched as Ian and George walked away from the dart board and towards the table.

"Another round?" Ian asked happily. Everyone nodded.

Meredith's told everyone to be quiet. They all looked at her. She watched the bar intently. She felt like she was going to pee her pants. Ian pulled out the card. The card with his money on it. The card his father gave him. The only money he had. She saw Joe slide it through and shake his head. Ian made dramatic hand motions. Joe's slide it through again, and shook his head again. Ian looked over at Meredith and it clicked. She could see the light bulb go off. He walked over to her quickly.

"Honey, can I speak with you?" Ian said through his teeth as he grabbed her arm.

"Oh, Dear, anything you need to say, you can say to me here." Meredith said as she pulled her arm away with a smile. "Oh, where are our drinks?" She asked as she started to laugh hysterically. Everyone looked at her like she was crazy.

"Where is my money?" Ian spat angrily.

"You mean our money?" She asked as she continued to laugh. Derek gave her a puzzled look.

"No, mine!" He yelled.

"What's yours is mine, baby." She said happily. "I decided to buy our friends some gifts."

"You---you---" He said in shock. "I am going to kill you."

"Paybacks a bitch...isn't it?" Meredith asked smartly. Everyone's jaw dropped to the floor.

-------------

Revenge is sweet! Our girl can be a little devil. So now Ian is surely going to be pissed off. Can you blame him? I don't know if I will get an update up on Wednesday. It depends on what I get written tonight. Please review.
