Luna was strolling around aimlessly, figuring she was already late for her very first day. She rubbed both eyes with both hands before slapping them against the side of her body. To be honest, she had absolutely no idea where she was going. Looking around, there were, what she assumed were, other interns scattered all around so using her initiative, she followed a line of them entering what looked to be an OR.

"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 worst of your life" Luna made eye contact with a man in a beige jacket, his hair was slightly swooped forward and he held a plastered look on his face, that was before he looked back at the young girl looking at him. His plastered face was replaced with a lopsided smirk, directed at her.

Suddenly nervous, Lovelyn looked back at the floor. "You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you. 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" She swallowed the lump in her throat.

"This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play? That's up to you."

After the speech, the interns were guided towards a locker room. Luna was the last one in, moving quickly towards her locker, putting on her lab coat and wrapping her stethoscope around her neck.

"Only seven women out of twenty" She looked around, matching the voice to the face of one of her fellow interns "Yeah, I hear one of them's a model. Seriously, like that's gonna help with the respect thing?" Luna mistakenly made eye contact with a raven haired intern beside her.

"That wouldn't be you, would it?" The question was directed at Luna, assuming she was being asked if she was the model. "Oh no, that wouldn't be me" She giggled lightly "I'm Luna" A hand appeared infront of her from the blonde from before "Meredith"

She smiled kindly at the woman infront of her before Meredith turned the raven haired intern again "You're Cristina, right?" she asked, Cristina nodded whilst putting on her own lab coat "Which resident you assigned to? I got Bailey"

Luna felt relief "The Nazi? Yeah, me too" Meredith answered. The younger intern was unaware who the 'Nazi' was but assumed all three of them shared the same resident.

Shyly, a man, quite short, maybe early twenties? turned towards the three girls "You got the Nazi? So did I" Luna was about to put her hand out to welcome herself to the male but quickly retracted when he started to ramble "At least we'll be tortured together, right? I'm George O'Malley, uh, we met at the mixer"

Luna looked towards the displeased look on Cristina's face causing her to bite down on her lip, stopping her from giggling "You had a black dress with a slit up the side, straps sandals" The three female interns all shared a glance at each other.

"Now you think I'm gay" Cristina nodded, as if to say duh "Uh huh" George quickly shook his head before continuing to ramble "No, I'm not gay. It's ah. It's just that you know, you were, I mean, you were very...unforgettable" Meredith and Cristina both began walking away towards the voice calling after them. "And I'm very forgettable"
