season 1 episode 1: a hard day's night

Hallie walks into the hospital, it's her first day as an intern. She follows the other interns through the hospital.

They stop before a doctor who Hallie recognizes to be Richard Webber who is speaking, when Hallie hears the door open from behind them and turns around to look who has walked in. She lightly gives the blonde woman a smile, which the blonde returns something that resembles a smile.

"Each of you comes here hopeful. Wanting in on the game. A month ago you were in med school being taught by doctors. Today, you are the doctors. The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and the worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you" Hallie looks around at her fellow interns. Hallie locks eyes with a man with brown hair she then looks at a woman with dark curly hair, she looks intense but in a good way she thinks. She then looks at the blonde she smiled at earlier. Hallie has no idea about how important those people are gonna be to her.

"Say hello to your competition. Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Five of you will crack under the pressure. Two of you will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play? That's up to you."

The Chief of surgery had opened a door into an operating room while talking, and Hallie stares at the table in the room. Hallie felt slight fear at the Chiefs words but immediately after that fear turned into excitement and Hallie just knows she's where she's meant to be.

——————————

Hallie stands in the locker room getting ready to change her clothes. She switches her shirt out with a soft pink henley and puts her scrub top over it. She puts her bag in her locker and closes the door and turns around.

"Okay. Martin, Robinson, Bond, Parkins" a resident called out interns. Hallie already knows who her resident is gonna be, but she has yet to meet the woman and her fellow interns.

Halie pulls her blonde hair into a ponytail while looking around at the rest of the interns in the locker room. She locks eyes with the man with brown hair again, and gives him a smile. He smiles back at her and Hallie takes that as a good sign and begins to approach him. "I'm Halston, but people call me Hallie, it's nice to meet you" Hallie says while holding her hand out for a handshake. The man immediately takes her hand in his and shakes her hand "I'm George, it's nice to meet you too" George says back.

"Only six women out of twenty" Hallie hears from behind her. She turns around to see that it's the blonde woman from earlier talking. "I hear one of them's a model. Seriously, like that's going to help with the respect thing" the woman with the intense stare says back.

"You're Cristina, right?" the blonde says looking at the woman named Cristina. She suddenly turns to Hallie and says "and you're Halston, right?" to which Hallie replies "Hallie works too" with a small smile.

"Which resident you assigned to? I got Bailey" Cristina says to the two women. "Oh me too" Hallie says. "The nazi? Yeah, me too" Meredith says, looking between Hallie and Cristina. George suddenly decides to join the conversation by saying "you got the nazi? So did I. At least we'll be tortured together, right? I'm George O'Malley, uh, we met at the mixer, you had a black dress with a slit up the side, strappy sandals."

Hallie, Meredith and Cristina exchange looks, and Hallie has a slight smile on her face. "Now you think I'm gay." Cristina replies back with "uh-huh" and Hallie says "there's absolutely nothing wrong with if you are."

George replies back with "no, I'm not gay, it's, ah, it's just that, you know, you were, I mean, you were very, unforgettable." Hallie just slightly shakes her head in embarrassment at that.
