I am a tree, rooted deep in the ground,
Branches reaching high, leaves fluttering around.
With strength and grace, I stand tall and proud,
Witnessing seasons change, nature's song aloud.
A symbol of life, in harmony with the world, I'm endowed"I heard you're stripping in front of your boyfriend's parents," Amory said when she walked up to Meredith and Cristina at the nurses' station.
"Oh, shut up. It was embarrassing." Cristina scoffed. "I want my 20 bucks back!"
Meredith let out a laugh when the girls notice Tyler's expression. "You know it's not Tyler's fault you're a dirty, dirty stripper."
"Let me guess, everybody knows already." The brunette let out.
"You know hospital gossip travels fast." Amory patted her on the back.
"Meredith, you're one to talk. Sleeping with two men." Cristina accused.
"Wrong." The dirty blonde defended. "I'm not sleeping with either one of them. Not until i pick one." She lets out a sigh. "If I haven't made a decision by the end of the day, I'm flipping a coin. A girl can only hold out for so long."
"Oh, and somehow I'm the dirty stripper."
Amory raised her brow at Meredith. "Are you sure flipping a coin is the best way?"
Before anyone else could say something Bailey walked up to the three. "You three have time to round, or are you too busy getting naked on hospital property?"
"I wasn't... I wasn't naked!" The Asian woman came to her defense, making Amory and Meredith let out a chuckle.

When the interns walked into a patient's room they noticed that she was eating a giant cake.
"Ms. Seabury what... what are... no, I'm sorry, you cannot be eating?" Bailey said, getting a bit mad.
"What is all this?" The Chief walks in, him too noticing the patient eating while she technically shouldn't because she has surgery in less than 24 hours.
"This is chocolate raspberry soufflé cake and it's the best thing I've ever tasted in my life." The patient casually explains. "Except for maybe the banana cream torte there, it's pretty stunning really. Bakeries deliver, did you know that? Please grab a fork."
The chief looks annoyed at the patient before he speaks up. "Ms. Seabury, you're scheduled for surgery this afternoon."
"We push the surgery a little? Tomorrow maybe?" Ms. Seabury suggested, making everyone take a look of shock. "Oh my God, you've got to taste this!"
"Ma'am, you have an aggressive form of lung cancer. The sooner we get you into surgery, the better your chances of surviving." A mad Bailey says.
"So I've heard. It's all very aggressive. I mean, it's very..." Before the patient could finish she erupts in laughter. "I have never smoked a cigarette in my life. I've never smoked pot. I've never drank. Before today, I hadn't had a desert in 10 years. I am the picture of health. And now... I have lung cancer. Come on it's absurd, right?" She says through her laughter. "Oh... I'm sorry. I think I'm on a sugar high."
