"This is the last time." Aurora exclaimed as Jackson took off his shirt.

"You said that the last time, but you came back anyway." He replied to her with a smirk on his face as he climbed into the on call room bed. Aurora's eyes drifted at his naked chest for a brief moment and she looked away once she realised what she was doing. "You got chocolate all over my scrub."

"You did this to yourself." She talked back as she tried to clean the mess they had made. "Are you going to help or are you going to sit there looking all pretty?" She asked as she picked up the wrapping papers from all the food they had just eaten. "I can't believe you talked me into eating all this crap again. I go jogging every morning and I eat fruits threes times a day and you made me eat two burgers and tons of chocolate twice this week."

"I'm not making you do anything. Don't pretend like you don't want this." He joked as he tried to rub the chocolate off his scrub top.

"Please don't leave the room without a shirt on. The last thing I want is to people start thinking that I am sleeping with you." She said as she tied up her hair into a ponytail and then she took the rubbish ready to leave the room. She opened the door looking around and when the coast was clear she walked away leaving Jackson there talking to himself.

"The last think you want?" He asked. "Why would that be so bad?" But when he looked up Aurora had left the room meaning she hadn't heard Jackson's question.

At the skills lab all interns were watching Derek talking about central lines and everyone was pretty much bored as he was talking about something they had already learnt in med school. "Any questions?" Derek asked.

"When you performed that transcranial resection of a clival chordoma in 2003 did you realise you'd become a major influence on surgeons around the world?" Shane, one of the interns, asked.

Aurora bit her lip to keep her laugh from coming out when she saw Derek's face. "Any questions about central lines?" He explained and Aurora looked around seeing everyone having the same expression in their faces as her. Boredom. Missing the excitement of surgeries. "Okay look, I get that you went over this in med school, but as interns, you're gonna be asked to insert central lines everyday. Do it incorrectly and the patient could die." Aurora didn't worry though, she had done things like that everyday when she was in Peru, she was too upset when she found out that she had to do some things all over again to become a surgeon.

"Uh, Dr Shepherd," Shane raised his hand again. "I have a question about central lines. In learning to insert your first central line, did you develop any of the skills that contributed to your influential clival chordoma resection in 2003?" This time everyone groaned.

Few minutes after everyone tried to put in the central lines and Derek seems a little bit disappointed as almost no one got it right, expect from Aurora. Derek went on to show how to do it right, but he hesitated because of his hand. And Aurora felt bad that he still had trouble with it.
