"We're gonna get a zillion valen-traumas." April said, clicking her pen to write on a chart, "I bet a few of them will be good surgeries for our boards."
Natalia sighed, continuing to write in her charts, "I hope so."
"Well, it's not St. Patty's day." Alex mentioned, writing in his charts as well as Jackson, "Those are good traumas-- car crashes, bar brawls. Yeah, Valentine's Day is all swallowed engagement rings and guys who threw out their backs getting laid."
"Ew." Natalia scrunched up her nose, pushing Alex lightly, "It's a day to spend with loved ones."
April nodded and looked at Alex, "You're just bitter 'cause you don't have a date."
"First of all," Alex countered, "Valentine's day isn't for having a date with some chick."
"Mm-hmm." Jackson agreed.
"No, it's not making the chicks who don't have dates. Besides, I have to study for my boards."
Jackson's head popped up as he looked at Alex, "...You studying already?"
"Of course." April voiced, "You're not?"
Jackson cleared his throat and Natalia looked at April, wrapping an arm around Jackson's shoulder as she said, "Pft. Of course we are." April nodded, looking down to continue writing as Natalia gave Jackson a look that signaled she hadn't been studying either.
Owen approached the group at the nurse's station, noticing all the decorations April put up for Valentine's and sighed, "Who put up all this?"
April scrunched up with happiness, "I did." Owen looked at April, giving her a face that indicated he wasn't happy about it which made her smile drop, "Well, research shows that a cheerful environment reduces stress and helps patients to feel more..." Owen grabbed a paper bear on the station and squished it with his hand, dropping it onto the floor and walked away as April stopped.
"Wow." Jackson said as Alex's eyebrows rose.
"Don't mind him," Natalia sighed, grabbing the crunched up bear and her clipboard to check on a patient, "he's just grumpy."

When Natalia finished assessing a Peds patient, she went downstairs to the E.R. to find Arizona but found Owen instead. Deciding to tease him, she approached him and he turned around once he heard her footsteps.
Owen opened his mouth to speak but she beat him to the punch, lifting up the crunched up paper bear, "Tsk. You need to stop being so grumpy."
Owen rolled his eyes and sighed, not wanting to speak about his issues with Cristina since Natalia was her friend, he walked away. Natalia puffed, turning around to find Arizona when she looked forward and saw a car heading straight forward. Thinking it would stop at the doors, shock filled her body when the car broke through the doors and ran into the hospital.
