didn't we almost have it all?

Standing, covered head-to-toe in toilet paper, was a very pissed off Cassandra Scott. Eyebrows arched, hand on hip, annoyed, staring daggers at Cristina as she said, "I thought I was gonna hate this party game thing, but  it's kinda great." The toilet paper meant to imitate a wedding dress was tightly wound around her body. "Can we set her on fire after?"

Cassie stuck her tongue out as she tried to move in her dress, failing miserably. She reached behind her in an attempt to undo the dress, failing yet again. Callie wrote Cristina's vows on her hand and Izzie advised her to speak from the heart, which Cristina then talked about the heart being an organ as if they didn't know that. Cassie advised Izzie to help her out of the painfully fitted makeshift dress, which, luckily, she did.

The bridal party's pagers rang out (with the exception of Cristina's "broken" pager) as the group made their way out of the house. The group suited up in trauma gowns as Bailey read off who's with who. George and Cassie both being with Shepherd and Sloan and an ax to the head. "That must hurt," George commented.

Cassie turned to George in confusion, "You think?"

The OR's eyes focused on the man with an ax in his head, Lonnie. "Poor guy...he just wanted to climb a mountain, and he ends up with an ax in his head," George observed holding the ax in the man's head.

"This is why you don't hike," Cassie replied as Dr. Shepherd walked over to the man's brain.

He then put his two cents in on the situation, "Well, he shouldn't have tried turning back. The group is going up, you move with the group." He then turned to a nurse for a drill.

"He panicked," George weighed in, "You have a right to turn back if you're scared."

Derek began to drill into the man's brain, "No, you don't. You chose to climb a mountain. You can't change your mind in the middle of the climb."

Cassie stood with a confused look on her face, lost in the two's discussion. "Are we sure the guy clipped him with the ax or whatever their story was?" She looked at the ax's placement adding more bewilderment to her face.

The brain surgeon glanced back at her, "Yeah, why?" Cassie looked closer as George and Derek began to take the ax out.

"Because it's really wedged in there." She explained. "Would it go that far in if the ax only clipped him?"

Derek shrugged, "I don't know." Once the ax was removed—though with trouble— the three looked at the clean-cut, George commenting on how there was no tearing. "I know, it doesn't make sense."

George looked forward at Lonnie's face, "You are a lucky guy."

Cassie sighed, "I don't think so." The two looked back at her, questioning, "I watch True Crime shows in my free time. If I wasn't a doctor I'd probably be one of the actors reenacting it." George snorted loudly, earning a rough look from Cassie. "Look, what I was saying before I was rudely interrupted," bulging her eyes out through the plastic glass at George, "I don't think the ax went in by accident. I think they were pissed he wanted to go back or something happened up on that mountain, for whatever reason, and they put that ax in his head. Whether to put him out of his misery or to put him out of their misery." 

George leaned over whispering, "Damn, Cas, you should write a book."

"Plannin' on it."

"My hair tie is stuck in my hair!" Cassie shouted around the hustle and bustle of everyone getting dressed and Cristina getting eyebrows 20 minutes before her wedding.

Izzie looked over at her, just finishing Yang's eyebrows, "Hold on. Don't touch it. I got it." Cassie sighed out in annoyance, placing her arms at her side.

The locker door swung open revealing Patricia, "Moment of truth, people." Holding up envelopes.

"Those our scores?" Alex asked. The first thing she had bothered to listen since before the exam. They didn't have an issue with one another, at least one that wasn't clear, but that was mostly since they now lived together much to Cassie's chagrin.

Once receiving and tearing open the envelope—she never quite learned how to open one properly—she scanned the sheet of paper as those around her squealed out in excitement (even Alex, though she knows he will never admit to it). 

Izzie looked over at her, smile plastered wide as ever, "How'd you do, Cas?"

In juxtaposition, Cassie stood, frown hung low, "I didn't pass." The excitement stopped around her, her head moved around the room at their reactions, "Just kidding!" She laughed out loud holding up her paper high as she jumped into Izzie's arm. "Now will you get this hair tie out of my hair?"

"You're getting married!" Cassie squealed, jumping up and down in the back of the chapel. 

Cristina scowled at her, "I know, I'm the bride."

The blonde stopped jumping, staring at her, "I know, I am a bridesmaid." Gesturing to her floor-length dress. After a beat, Cassie began to jump again, shrieking, "We passed our intern exam!" Clapping her hands quickly, "This must be the greatest day of your life!

Cristina scowled at her again warning her to shut up with her eyes as the music began to play. The bridesmaids freak out began as they raced around preparing for the wedding march. "I don't have my vows!" Cristina shouted as Meredith tried to calm her down. Once doing so—and threatening to kick her ass in the process, Izzie, Callie, and Cassie joined in to prepare her to walk down the aisle.

The door pushed open revealing Burke, "You're not supposed to see the bride!" Cassie shouted, earning a look from both the bride and groom. She became bashful sitting back as she watched Burke pretty much end his relationship with Cristina and the bridesmaids left with the task to reveal to everybody that the wedding was canceled before it even started. "So who's doing this? Because I'm not about to ruin the happiest day of my life." The group raised eyebrows at her, "Sorry, sorry. I'm not telling the group though. I'm not going up against Mama Burke and Yang."

Izzie corrected her, "I think she's Rubenstein, right?"

"Whatever," Meredith brushed them off. She took a deep breath, "I'll do it."

"Really?" Cassie questioned.

Meredith nodded, "I'm the maid of honor. I'll do it."

"Okay."

"You didn't pass, did you?" Cassie stood now in her casualwear in the doorway of the intern's locker room. She looked at George placing his things in a box. His eyes moved up to her, staring, "Your face said it all. When I was joking about failing—"

"Why aren't you at the reception?" He asked her, closing his locker and moving forward to her.

She glanced down at her hands then back up at him, "Cristina and Burke didn't get married. Why weren't you at the wedding?" He looked down at the floor and with no response, shook his head. "So you didn't pass?" He quietly nodded, tears filling his eyes, "George." She took a deep breath, "You're not coming back, are you? You're not going to repeat your internship?"

He stood silent, attempting to not have the tears escape his eyes, "I don't know, Cas, I—"

"Don't." Tears now in her eyes, "Don't leave because—" she feels the lump in her throat, using her best effort to not get choked up. "If you leave then I'll be by myself. I know I have Izzie and-and Cristina and Meredith and even Alex, but you're my best friend and if you're not at this hospital or at the house then I'll have no one. I need you here or else I'll bottle up all my emotions and have a heart attack before I'm thirty." He laughed along with her breaking the sadness in the room. She took a step back, gripping the door frame. "Just, uh, think about it. Please."
