"Well, there were only four in our group. Jason Weider was the fourth and I was the only girl. Our resident was a male too - Dr. Penn. We weren't nearly as crazy as you five are and no one was sleeping with attendings or marrying residents or like Karev, but Mark and Derek got in trouble a lot," Addison told them.
"Ok, firstly, Mark got me into trouble, and second, don't make it sound like you were an angel. Whose idea was it to tape gauze all over Penn when he was asleep?" Derek asked.
Addison laughed, "Yes, but who followed through on it?"
"You made me!" He exclaimed, his voice getting a little higher.
"How?" Callie asked.
Derek didn't answer but looked at the doors as they became very interesting at that time.
Addison chuckled, "The same way I'm sure Meredith gets him to do stuff."
"You withheld sex," Meredith stated with a smile.
Addison smiled. "I did."
"Smart woman," Meredith commented. "Sad thing is that it works. Seamlessly."
Derek looked embarrassed. "Shut up. Both of you."
"What?" Addison asked. "It's true!"
Frustrated, Derek said, "Whatever. Look, I have lots of dirt on you, too, Addie, so I'd shut my mouth if I were you."
"I'm not the one who ran naked through the dorm hallways with Mark at med school!" Addison shot back.
"Hey! That was Mark's idea. He spiked the punch at his party and didn't tell anyone!" he shot back. "And I'm not the one who got drunk at her parent's Christmas party and shouted obscenities off of her balcony to all of Manhattan!"
Addison looked outraged. "Derek!" she cried.
"You started it!" he shot back.
"Did anyone shout back?" Meredith wondered, facing Addison. "There're a lot of people there."
Addison shrugged. "I don't remember. I think maybe a few people did."
They were all quiet for a couple minutes.
"Do you remember the wheelchair race the four of us had close to the end of our internship?" Derek asked.
"The one where we got caught by Ellis Grey who was there to perform surgery on some mayor or someone?" Addison asked back. "I remember 'cause she banned us from the gallery because of it."
Meredith started laughing really hard, trying to talk at the same time, "That...that was...you guys?"
"You were there?" Derek asked. "In New York?"
"It was the only time I went with my mother when she was asked to be a guest surgeon. I really wanted to go to New York so I promised to stay out of the way. I was about 17 and that race and her ranting about it for the rest of the day was probably the best part of the trip," Meredith explained.
"Oh, so the hots for McDreamy go back to your teenage years, now, don't they?" Cristina asked.
"Shut up, Cristina. I didn't even know who the hell he was," Meredith said. "All I did was laugh my ass off at he four doctors chasing each other down the hallway in wheelchairs. Oh, and my mother's nonstop complaining about them was quite the show, too."
Addison laughed. "Yeah, I remember that she absolutely hated us and wouldn't let us do anything surgical for the rest of the day. We were stuck doing sutures in the pit after she yelled at us for like an hour."
Derek laughed along with her. "God, Mer, that woman can yell! How did you handle it?"
Meredith looked up at him. "Tequila."
"Ah," he nodded.
"So who won the race?" George asked.
"By the time they reached my mother, Derek was in the lead," she replied, adding, "I think," hoping no one said anything about her certainty.
"That was a close race," Addison recalled. "Derek and Mark were close and Jason was right behind them."
"How did you know it was Derek?" Izzie asked.
"Yeah Mer," George said. "That was ten years ago."
Cristina grinned. "Oh my god, Mer. You really did have the hots for McDreamy!"
"Shut up!" Meredith demanded with a small, embarrassed smile, "Fine! But I was 17 and he was hot and I was watching the hot doctor. Ok?!"
"Did you know it was McDreamy when you met him in the bar?" Izzie giggled.
Meredith shook her head.
"How sure are you about that?" Cristina asked.
"I'm pretty sure, thank you," Meredith replied.
"You hesitated! She hesitated!" Cristina said.
Derek looked over at her. "You knew it was me, didn't you? That's why you were trying to ignore me, wasn't it?"
Meredith rolled her eyes. "I don't know. Maybe? Maybe I thought you might have been someone I'd seen before, but I couldn't place you."
"Then you must have recognized me," Addison said. "And Mark, too."
Meredith shook her head again, "No, I didn't recognize you or Mark ."
"Haha! It's because you weren't the hot doctor she was staring at!" Cristina laughed.
Meredith stretched out her legs, "Oh, I thought this was Derek and Addison sharing stories! Ok! I was watching Derek and the race, but mostly Derek, but I wasn't supposed to be out there. So, as soon as I saw my mother and she caught them racing, I ran back to the locker room so I wouldn't get in trouble."
"Get in trouble for not being in the way?" George asked.
"My mother was weird about things. She didn't want a kid. Can we talk about something else now?"
"Yes! Let's, 'cause now this conversation is dreadfully boring," Cristina quipped.
"I have something new to share," George said.
"What?" everyone asked.
"I have to pee," he said.
"Not going to happen, Bambi," Cristina said.
"Crap."
Everyone was quiet and then Mark started snoring. Addison kicked his leg and jolted awake causing everyone to laugh.
"What's so funny?" he asked, stretching a little.
"Nothing," Addison chuckled. It's just that you've been asleep for quite possibly the most hilarious conversations the staff of this hospital has ever had together.
Just then the elevator started moving again and the doors opened on the next floor.
"Finally!" George exclaimed and he ran out to the bathroom.
"I could really use a tampon fairy right now," Meredith said as the girls all headed to the bathroom.
Addison, Callie, Cristina, Meredith, and Izzie each went into their stalls, relieving themselves like there was no tomorrow.
"Shit. I'm out of tampons. Who has any?" Meredith said.
"I do!" Callie, Addison, Izzie, and Cristina each said.
"Okay, who said that?" Meredith questioned.
"Me!" they all said.
"Oh, God. This is how I'm going to die, isn't it?" Meredith questioned.
"It might just be," Cristina agreed before tossing her a tampon.
"You know, I had a lot of fun today. We should all get something to eat together tonight," Addison suggested while they were all washing their hands. The others agreed and they finally got back to work.
----One Month Later----
Derek was sitting in the kitchen reading the paper and eating his Muesli when he heard Izzie shout from upstairs.
"Derek!!! We need tampons!!!"
