"Surgeons are control freaks. With a scalpel in your hand, you feel unstoppable. There's no fear, there's no pain. You're ten feet tall and bulletproof. And then you leave the OR. And all that perfection, all that beautiful control, falls to crap. No one likes to lose control, but as a surgeon there's nothing worse. It's a sign of weakness, of not being up to the task. And still there are times when it just gets away from you. When the world stops spinning and you realise that your shiny little scalpel isn't gonna save you. No matter how hard you fight it, you fail. And it's scary as hell. Except, if there's an upside to free-falling, it's the chance you give your friends to catch you".
"don't break the spell. it would be different and you know it will"
Meredith, Cristina and Lucy were jogging. Meredith was very energised but Cristina and Lucy were looking a little burned out. "Oh, you're stupid. Oh god. You're a stupid evil sadist", Cristina said to Meredith. "Endorphins are good, they elevate your mood", Meredith replied. "That's the thing, if I have to do this, I would rather be miserable", Lucy panted. Cristina and Lucy stopped running and Meredith began to run circles around them. "Is that meant to be motivating?" Lucy asked. "Syphilis penis", Meredith sneered. "Dirty mistress", Cristina said to Meredith. "Pregnant whore", Meredith replied. "Getting laid was a great idea. Definitely didn't face any consequences for that one", Lucy said sarcastically. They all collapsed to the floor.
George, Cristina, Lucy and Meredith watched Izzie and Alex. They were laughing and enjoying each other's company. "What is she doing?" Cristina asked. "She's hanging out with Alex", George said. "I think they might be friends.
"They can't be friends, that's gross", Lucy replied, glaring at the two.
"Make the lambs stop screaming"
"Once you get to know him, he's actually really sweet", Izzie defended. "Sweet?" Lucy questioned. "He tried to give me syphilis!"
"No he didn't. Every time we bring that up, you change the story"
"Let me be dramatic, god!"
"Hey, Meredith, do you seriously have the Ellis Grey surgical tapes", Alex asked Meredith. "You should come over and watch them", Izzie suggested. "Izzie, don't bring the devil to our house", Lucy whispered. "Oh yeah, if this were a hell dimension", Meredith remarked. Lucy snorted. "Do you have a thing for Alex?" Lucy asked Izzie. "No", Izzie replied. Lucy couldn't help but feel jealous.
Meredith, Cristina and Lucy walked a few paces behind Bailey. "You should tell Burke about the baby, he deserves to know", Lucy said to Cristina. "He could handle the finances", Meredith suggested.
"Oh, that's a way better idea, forget what I said"
"No", Cristina said. "Once this pregnancy is taken care of, Burke won't be a blip on my radar. He'll be a smudge". "Right", Meredith replied, sarcastically. "Leave the sarcasm up to me", Cristina said. "Really, it doesn't suit you". "She's right", Lucy agreed.
Alex and Lucy were walking through the stairwell. "So, you're friends with Izzie now?" Lucy said.
"Yeah, why, jealous?"
"No. You tried to give me syphilis"
"The way you phrase that is such bullshit. I didn't know"
"Whatever. I just thought it was weird that's all"
Lucy didn't realise until that moment how close they were standing. Their noses were practically touching. Alex looked like he was about to say something. Bailey opened the door. Lucy jumped away from Alex like he was on fire. "There's a surgical case coming from the pit", Bailey said. "It could be diverticulitis". They hurried after her.
