The night shift, the dreaded night shift, the tired residents, the no attending, the horror stories

Tonight was that night, Madelyn is woken by the sounds of screaming coming from Jackson's room. This wasn't an unusual way for the girl to be woken up since the shooting

After laying in bed and staring at the ceiling for a while she yawns and stretches then grabs her things and heads to the bathroom

As she exits her room she walks straight into someone

"Woah" Derek says steadying his sister by her shoulders

"Sorry" the girl says yawning

"I got the grant"

"What?" Madelyn says confused

"For the alzheimer's research. I got the grant"

"Oh- OH. Oh my God. You got the grant" Madelyn says finally understanding

"Yeah. I got the grant"

"Does Meredith know?"

"Not yet. I'm just about to go and tell her" Derek says with a huge smile on his face, but his smile falters when he sees his sisters hand "What happened to your hand?"

Before Madelyn can reply April opens her bedroom door, dressed and ready for the day

"Dr. Shepherd. There's french toast and coffee if you want breakfast" the perky redhead says

Derek looks at his watch "It's 6:00 p.m."

"Right. Um, bacon for your dinner?" she offers cheerfully

"Thank you, no" the man declines politely before walking towards his bedroom

Madelyn gets back on track to her original destination. The bathroom

-

The six residents sit in the car, Meredith driving next to Lexie followed by Jackson, Alex and April sat in the middle row and Madelyn shoved in the back. I guess that's what you get for being the last one to the car

"Nice face" Madelyn says teasing Alex who turns around

"Well, at least I can do surgery. How's that hand?"

"Ah, it'd be better if you hadn't run your face into it" Madelyn replies both parties laughing

"So you both act like fools, and now you're laughing about it?" Meredith says

"Ah, some of us can move on" Alex replies

April who is sat next to the boy tugs on her coat "You're sitting on my coat"
