Derek was flipping through the tv channels when Conner knocked on his door. He quickly got up to answer it.
"Hey."
Conner waltzed into the trailer. "Oh my gosh, Derek, this girl is AMAZING!"
He closed the door, grasping the knob a little too tight. "I bet…"
"But anyways, have you decided about moving in?!"
Derek scratched his head then plopped down on his couch. "Uh…yeah, I'll do it. But I'm gonna keep the trailer for a bit."
Conner threw his fist in the air. "YES!!!!! Okay well let's get your things together!"
Meredith smiled as she thought about her crazy date with Conner. Izzie noticed.
"What are you so happy about?"
Meredith leaned over the counter and grabbed one of Izzie's cookies. "You know that Conner guy? Cardio?"
"The hottie that replaced Burke?"
"Yep. That's the guy I went on the date with." She took a huge bite out of her cookie.
Izzie threw her spoon down. "SHUT UP! OH MY GOSH, MER, HE'S GORGEOUS!!"
Meredith giggled. "I know! But…"
Izzie sighed. "Forget about Derek. You moved on!"
Meredith nodded then took another bite. "True…"
Izzie licked her fingers. "You are soooo lucky!"
She grinned, but in the back of her mind, she still missed Derek. But, Izzie was right. She should move on. "Iz, have you ever…loved someone so much that it hurt to move on."
Izzie exhaled deeply. "No…look, Meredith, I know how much you loved Derek…I mean, everyone knows, but you have to move on EVENTUALLY…"
"Yeah, I know, I know…it's just hard."
Izzie rubbed her friend's back. "I know, but you're hot! You can get ANY guy!"
Meredith playfully shoved her friend then took a huge gulp of water. "You know what, you're right! Today is the day when I am gonna move on!"
Izzie laughed. "That's the attitude! Now, does Conner have any cute friends?!"
Meredith burst out laughing, nearly spitting out all her water. "I'll ask…"
"Good!"
Derek sneezed as he entered the dusty apartment with all of his bags.
Conner turned around. "Ah….isn't this quite the deal? The bachelor pad of the century!" He plopped down on his couch and a cloud of dust rose from it.
Derek rubbed his eyes. "Conner…it's dusty! I'm allergic to pollen!"
"Well, take some Claritin, it'll be fine…I'm still fixing some of it up, but once I'm done it'll be chick's heaven."
Derek rolled his eyes. "Chick's Heaven? Why the hell am I friends with you?"
Conner smiled. "Cause I have great hair like you, now come on I'll show you your room."
Conner opened the 1st door on the 2nd floor, reavealing a tan rug, with a blue comforter. The walls were painted lime green and a disco ball hung from the ceiling.
Derek couldn't help but laugh. "OH MY GOD!"
Conner grinned. "I know, the disco ball adds the perfect touch!"
Derek laughed so hard that tears were streaming down his face.
Conner looked confused. "Dude, are you crying?"
Derek chuckled a few more times then wiped the tears off his cheeks. "I'm sorry, Conner…but I am going to have to change this room around."
"WHAT?! NO, IT'S PERFECT!"
"PERFECT?! There's a disco ball with colored lights hanging from my ceiling!"
"EXACTLY!"
Derek let out an aggravated sigh. "Fine…but the disco ball has to go. This isn't Austin Powers pad…"
Conner sighed then flipped his hair back. "Fine, fine…but it's going in the living room then!"
"NO! IT'S GOING IN THE TRASH!"
As the two continued to argue, the phone started ringing. Derek quickly picked it up.
"Hello?"
Meredith was a bit surprised. "Derek?"
"Meredith?"
Conner quickly ran over and stantched the phone from Derek. "Hey, Mer, this is Conner…sorry Derek is moving in so he answered."
Meredith raised her eyebrows. "Derek's moving in?"
"Yeah, but anways…why did you call?"
"Oh, uhm…I wanted to see if you wanted to go out on Friday."
"How about you come over here on Friday. We can all hang out…you, Derek, and I. It'll be fun!"
Meredith started playing with her fingers. "Uhh…I don't think it's such a good idea."
"Oh, come on! It'll be fun! PLEASEEE!"
Meredith sighed. "Fine. I'll be over at 8."
"Perfect, see you then!"
As the line went dead, Meredith fell onto her couch. It's not like she didn't want to see Derek. She did. But she knew it would be weird…VERY weird. But then again, she had to get over Derek SOMETIME! And maybe this was the perfect time to let go. As she sat up on her couch, she ran her fingers through her hair and yawned. Friday seemed WAY closer than it really was…
