Chapter 34: Perfectly Magical

'People plan and God laughs.' That was the phrase bouncing around her head now. She had planned and she thought everything was set but apparently things were not about to go her way. So now here she was, a bit of a mess.

Addison paced anxiously muttering to herself as Arizona and Callie watched helplessly.

"Addison, it's ok. You guys don't have to go out today. In two weeks the interns get their vacation and you can take her somewhere espectacular then." Callie said to the pacing redhead.

"Yeah. Addison, it's fine." Arizona agreed.

"She wants to celebrate. And I want to take her to celebrate." Addison whined. "And why did they cancel my reservation. I'm going to leave a very nice and informative review." She huffed.

She had wanted everything to be perfect. It was a five star restaurant in the middle of the docks by the bay. The pictures of the place had looked outstanding and the food looked pretty amazing as well. It would have been perfect but perfect was sorta always far away.

"Adds, you sound pretty stuck up." Callie chuckled a bit but the withering glare the redhead had sent her way, had her pressing her lips together.

"I thought you'd be gone already." Bailey said as she walked over to the three.

"The restaurant I made the reservation at just canceled because they overbooked. And they did it an hour before the reservation and now I don't know what to do." Addison said quickly as Mark made his way to the group.

"It's just Neirhem." Bailey started at which Addison had wanted to protest but she continued. "You know her. You know what she likes and what she doesn't. Just think about what she'd enjoy. I can't see her being upset over going to a corner store to grab chips with you. She brightens up just by seeing you, which is stupid. As if you were the one to hold the entire world." At that the redhead blushed and the other two giggled behind her. "Anyway, just calm the hell down and pull yourself together, woman." The resident rolled her eyes as she finished and walked away.

"What if you go to a smaller restaurant." Arizona suggested.

"Something simple." Callie asked and Arizona nodded. "You can go with plan B. Besides, that plan sounded more personal and romantic." She added.

"You could go to Thea's." Mark chirped.

"What is Thea's?" Callie asked.

"It's a small bistro. It's close to the bay. They have pretty good food and it's nice for a date." He said with his smug smile. "That's what this is about right? A date?" He asked.

"Mhmm." Arizona smiled at him as Callie nodded.

"I just wanted... but Ael isn't one who needs much to be wowed." Addison mumbled as she sat next to Arizona who placed her hand on her shoulder reassuringly.

Before heading to the cafeteria to celebrate Meredith and Aelwyne had changed into their street clothes. They looked a bit out of place as they walked in with their friends but no one really cared. The interns had been at the cafeteria for a while joking and talking before Izzie, Alex, George, and Cristina got paged. Meredith and Aelwyne watched them go grumpily as they stayed at the table.

"We did it huh? I thought we'd crash and burn." Meredith smiled.

"I thought we'd drown. Might've blown up too." Aelwyne chuckled and the blonde joined her.

"Could you imagine? That'd be really awful." Meredith chuckled.

"Our lives have been pretty awful." Aelwyne shrugged.
