"OK. Anyone who says you can sleep when you die, tell them to come talk to me after a few months as an intern. Of course, it's not just the job that keeps us up at night. I mean, if life's so hard already, why do we bring more trouble down on ourselves? What's up with the need to hit the self-destruct button? Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're weird that way. Because without it, I don't know, maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop". 

"'cause when it comes to you, i can't say no"

Holly opened her eyes and touched the other side of the bed to find a body lying next to her. She gasped and looked over and saw George O'Malley lying next to her. She nudged him gently to wake him. His eyes widened when they landed on her. "You remember last night?" George asked.

"Nope. You?"

"No. So, can we talk about what this means?"

"George! This isn't a discussion. We are pretending this never happened. Please?"

"Holly"

"George, please"

"Fine, I'll go down first then you can sneak out"

Once George was downstairs, Holly got dressed and crept out of the room before bumping into Derek Shepherd. "Dr Shepherd", she gasped. "Dr Kepner", he replied, equally as startled. They stood awkwardly for a moment. "Let's never speak of this", Derek stated. Holly nodded fervently and they both crept downstairs and out the door. Unbeknownst to them, Izzie and George were watching from the kitchen.

Izzie hit George's arm. "Ow! What?" George whined.

"Holly? Really? Are you trying to ruin friendships?"

"Why are you mad at me? Meredith is sleeping with an attending!"

"An attending who is not our best friend"

Meredith entered the room. "What's going on?" she asked. "George slept with Holly and you're sleeping with Dr Shepherd", Izzie replied.

"Sorry I asked"

George and Holly were scrubbed in on a surgery when George suspiciously sniffed the air. "Do you smell that?" George asked Holly. "What?" she replied. "Have you been drinking?" George asked the anesthesiologist. "Dr O'Malley, that is an incredibly inappropriate question", Derek reprimanded. "Get out of my OR!" A few moments after George left, the patient's eye started fluttering. "Dr Collins, her anesthesia is a little light", Derek said to the anesthesiologist. He looked over to see him sleeping against the machine. "Dr Collins!" he yelled. Dr Collins woke up. "Sorry, shep", he apologized, as he turned up the anesthesia.

"He was right, wasn't he?"

"Oh come on, I nodded off"

"Scrub out right now!"

Holly approached George once the surgery was finished. "You were right", she smiled. "Yeah", he replied.

"I know this is awkward after this morning but I don't want anything to change. You're my best friend"

"Yeah, me too"
