Broken Memories [GA 1] COMPLETED

1. First Day

"Yes, I'm ready, Papa"

"Okay, don't be late. Remember, treat every patient with a smile"  Vincenzo reminds his daughter.

"I know, dad. But I really have to go now, okay?"

"Oh, bella, I miss you already. When are you coming back to New York?"

"Not yet, Papa. Why don't you come down to Seattle? It's amazing here" Elizabeth tries.

"Maybe soon. Have a good day, bella. I love you"

"I love you too, Papa" The girl ended the call and left her apartment, heading to the hospital for the first day of her internship.

"Each of you comes here hopeful. Wanting in on the game. A month ago you were in med school being taught by doctors. Today, you are the doctors. The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you. Say hello to your competition. Nine of you will be switched to an easier specialty, five of you will crack under the pressure, two of you will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play? That's up to you"

The interns all look around at the operating room they are in as they listen to Dr Webber.

Then they are led to the locker room. "Okay. Martin, Robinson, Bond, Parkins" A doctor speaks and 4 interns walk out of the room.

"Only seven women out of twenty one" Meredith complains.

"Well, that's the harsh reality of society" Elizabeth sighs, sitting beside the blonde, "I'm Elizabeth... Ricci"

"Meredith Grey" The girls shake hands as Cristina speaks up.

"I hear one of them's a model. Seriously, like that's going to help with the respect thing" Cristina complains from beside the two girls.

"You're Cristina, right?" Meredith asks.

"Which resident you assigned to? I got Bailey"

"The Nazi? Yeah, me too" Elizabeth smiles and Meredith nods in agreement.

"You got the Nazi? So did I. At least we'll be tortured together right? I'm George O'Malley, uh, we met at the mixer, you had a black dress with the slit up the side, strappy sandals..." George trails off as Cristina and Meredith exchange looks and Elizabeth just smiles. "Now you think I'm gay"

"Uh-huh" Cristina agrees, walking away.

"I think you're adorable, like a little puppy" Elizabeth smiles, patting his shoulder.

"I'm not gay, it's, ah, it's just that, you know, you were, I mean, you were very, unforgettable"

"O'Malley, Yang, Grey, Ricci, Stevens"

Meredith walks out and leaves Elizabeth and George to follow. "And I'm totally forgettable"

"Hey, don't mind her. She probably just wants to have a good first day. I'm Effy"

"George" The two smile at each other before following Cristina and Meredith as they spot Bailey.

"I thought the Nazi would be a guy" George speaks.

"I thought the Nazi would be... The Nazi" Meredith adds.

"I thought she'd a least be taller" Elizabeth shrugs.

"Maybe it's professional jealousy. Maybe she's brilliant, and they call her Nazi because they're jealous. Maybe she's nice" Izzie speaks.

"Let me guess. You're the model" Cristina rolls her eyes at the blonde.
