Chapter 50: Popcorn
With dinner complete, the next item on Meredith, Addison, Cristina, and Izzie's schedule is the movie.
"I can't wait to go to the mall!" Says Addison.
"What, do you not go to the mall very often?" Says Cristina suspiciously.
"I bet she goes all of the time, she's so well dressed," says Izzie.
"Hey!" Says Meredith. "She is though," she adds.
"Actually, I usually order my clothes so..." Addison says sheepishly.
"Yeah, I don't think the mall has Prada," says Cristina.
"They don't, I checked," says Izzie.
"Since when do you wear Prada?" Asks Meredith.
"I don't, I grew up in a trailer park, remember?" Says Izzie. "I just know because Bethany Whispers asked me to do market research for them a while ago," Izzie laughs.
"Scoping out the competition," Cristina laughs.
"Hey, I wear other brands then Prada!" Says Addison.
"Right, you also wear Dolce & Gabbana," says Meredith.
"Exactly," says Izzie.
"It's different, plus I also wear-" Addison starts to protest.
"We all know you like your labels..." Says Cristina.
"Hey, I'm not all about labels, it's just that-" Addison says, a bit flustered, which Meredith finds adorable.
"It's true, she could hardly settle on a non-straight label for ages," Meredith adds.
"Well I mean most labels are straight, I mean they don't sew them on crooked?" Addison squints, scrutinizing the friends to see what they are all giggling about
"I don't think that that's what Mer was talking about?" Cristina offers.
"I think she's talking about your queerness," says Izzie.
"Wait, why is it queer for me to like brand-name clothes?" Says Addison, still a little lost.
"It isn't, you are," says Meredith. "It's also not an insult either way," she adds.
"OHHH," the realization finally dawns on Addison.
"Right," says Cristina.
"It's okay, took me a while too," says Izzie.
"I'm not sure what to label myself," says Addison awkwardly.
"It's okay to take your time," says Cristina.
"Yeah," says Izzie.
"You can just be my girlfriend for now," says Meredith.
"Yeah," says Addison. "I like that," she smiles, and leans in, to peck Meredith on the cheek.
