Addison had been walking for a little over an hour when she came to a fork in the road. She looked down at Meredith and raised her eyebrows before leaning sideways to peer down one of the roads. She straightened, peered down the other, and sighed.

"They're the exact same," Addison muttered to Meredith. "Which way?"

"Addison?"

Addison froze at the sound of her name.

"Damnit Addison." It was Derek. "You're life couldn't flash before your eyes like a normal person, could it?"

Addison's eyebrows nearly hit her hairline as she turned to find Derek hanging limply from a tall wooden stake. She took one look at the dust covered overalls and red circles painted on his cheeks and burst out laughing. Derek, meanwhile, did not look amused.

When she was finally laughter finally subsided, Addison slowly made her way to where Derek was hanging, relishing the predicament he was in.

"Really Addison?" Derek asked dryly as she sauntered up to him. "The Scarecrow?"

Addison shrugged. "I like the irony."

"Just get me down."

"I don't know," Addison tortured him. "For so long I wanted crows to peck out your eyes. Who says dreams can't come true?"

"Get me down," Derek growled. "Get me down, right now!"

"Calm down Derek," Addison said, shaking her head in annoyance. "I can't leave you up there anyway. I need you too much."

Derek's eyebrows twitched. "Oh?"

"To get home you egomaniac." Addison rolled her eyes. "Bailey said I can't get the hell out of here until I've learned something about myself and I have to go through the story for that to happen. Ergo, I need you."

Derek frowned. "Oh."

"Now hold still," Addison muttered as she rounded Derek and began prying him loose. After a few failed attempts, Addison was finally able to splinter the wood enough so that she could work out the nail connecting Derek to the pole. Derek fell to the ground with a thud and looked up at her as if she'd let him fall on purpose (which she had). Addison cocked her head. "What?"

"You did that on purpose."

"Don't be such a child Derek," Addison snarled as Meredith ran to Derek to investigate. "Don't get near him Meredith. You don't know what you might catch."

Derek looked up sharply. "What did you just call her?"

Addison suddenly tried to look as innocent as possible. "Er. Meredith?"

"You named the dog Meredith?" Derek asked in disbelief. "You named the damn dog after my girlfriend?"

"Hey!" Addison defended hotly, her hands on her hips. "When it's your coma-induced fantasy sequence you can name the dog whatever the hell you want!"
