"this is zola. she's 6 months old, born with spina bifida..." alex presented.

"adorable african children, shameless ego stroking, karev is a genius" cristina whispered.

"yeah, he's single-handedly stealing chief resident, out from all of us and we're helping him do it" jackson said as he folded his arms. "i mean we can't exactly refuse to treat little sick kids without making ourselves look bad"

"oh he is a genius" april said and then she spoke swahili. "that's what they say in swahili"

"well he only has a shot because i've been benched and donahue dropped out" cristina stated. "the playing field has been levelled"

"you're all welcome" grace laughed.

"my alzheimer's trail kicks african-orphan ass" meredith said. "it kicks all of your asses"

"do you want to keep it down back there?" richard said turning around to the residents. "i'm trying to listen to what appears to be the next chief resident talking"

"before we go, i just want to say thank you to all or you for your participation. it truly means more than i could say" alex smiled, as he began wrapping up his presentation.

"slow clap" jackson pointed out.
"they're giving him the slow clap, come on"

"calm down" grace laughed, as she shook her head.

"i'm not giving him the slow clap, ridiculous" he sighed, this caused grace to chuckle.

"i mean, you'd think being on the chiefs research project. would help in race for chief resident" jackson complained. "you might gene thing it'd make me a contender. only i'm not saving little kids or people with alzheimer's i'm cleaning up mouse poop"

"can you hand me that basin?" grace asked, as she pointed over at it.

"wanna hear my conversation with with the chief every morning?" he asked.

"go on" grace chuckled.

"avery, how are the mice?" he said mimicking the dr webber. "oh they're fine. they're running on their wheels. they're eating their cheese. and if i worked in a pet store i'd be like employee of the month by now" jackson complained even more. "but i am surgeon, babysitting a bunch of mice"

"until you get FDA approval okay, i'm sure you're gonna be working on humans any day now" grace reassured him.

"what are you doing anyway?" he asked.

"well i'm working with hunt, stark and kepner" grace explained. "kepner was speaking swahili to the patient, and stark then had a go at her, like always. so it's great fun working with them two, since he criticises her every minute" she sighed.

"you can help me with the mice?" jackson smirked, as he knew grace would hate it.

"i'd rather not" grace chuckled. "have fun" she said kissing him on the cheek before leaving.

graces patient, got rushed to the OR. her and hunt were pages to scrub in. "we couldn't stop the bleeding, so we rushed her here" dr stark explained. "oh, what the hell?" he said noticing something in her stomach.

"it looks like wax" grace pointed out.

"i have never seen anything like this" stark said.

"nobody has at least not in the states" owen said. "she has intestinal TB"

"poor girl" grace sighed, as she shook her head in sympathy.

"there's adhesions everywhere, it's hard to even know where to begin" stark stated.

"the perforation's pretty high at the lesser curvature" hunt announced.

"we should treat it like a normal perf, right?" grace asked, hunt nodded.

"and then start the anti-tb meds?" april asked. "the less aggressive we are, the greater chance we can avoid short gut syndrome"

"that's absolutely right" hunt said. "let's start by ligating the bleeding vessel"

"i was wrong to doubt the mice" jackson said. "karev, watch your back, cause mouse j has just made me a contender" he smiled. "thank you mouse j"

"to mouse j" grace chuckled as she kissed jackson.

"you're not the only contenders, you know?" hunt said. "my sources tell me that kepner could be a dark horse"

"oh please" cristina scoffed, before walking off.

"no offence dr hunt, but i have you scheduled for a swenson procedure on a 2 year old orphan tomorrow morning" alex said taking hunts glass out of his hand. "i'm sure you understand, i am just looking out for the kids. that i brought here from africa"

"alright, it's now time to clear the dance floor and make way for the father daughter dance, folks" the dj announced.
