a/n: just a little something my mind cooked up while reading other fanfics and would not let go of until i wrote it. i was bored and was like 'oh i want to send them somewhere, but where?' and then i remembered my six grade teacher who's an author (he wrote the cottonmouth club if you see it, pick it up and read it, it's really great) telling my class to always write what was like 'well, where do i know?; and then i realized 'i love disneyland! that would be fun! and it's my favorite place on earth, so of course i know it!' and so here i am. i know i should be working on wreaking havoc, but i'm a little stuck and this is begging me to be written. if you want to help me on wreaking havoc say the word and i'll let you! with credit obviously. so anyways, here's a quick summary and disclaimer and then on with the show!

disclaimer: it's not mine.

summary: a very overdone topic. richard gets annoyed at all the tension between our favorite doctors and decides to send them on vacation. to disneyland. no exact timeline but set after alex and addison's kiss and before the sex in the on-call room. my timeline kind of revolves around the two of them, so i can't tell you what else was going on then. oh, i do know it's before the ferry. so after the kiss, before the ferry boat. pairings: addex (long may they live! even though shonda has now crushed my dreams of them, but whatever), merder, bang, O'callie, and mcstizzie. so basically the cliche pairings.

wait, i have to rant a little. you can skip this if you want, but i need to vent my frustration... NO MORE BURKE!!!!!! washington's contract didn't get renewed! so now there's no addison and no burke. i'm a little afraid for the show, i mean that's like totally changing the entire dynamic! grr... okay, well if you took the time to read this, i thank you and am going to let you read now...

Addison Forbes Montgomery was having a decent day for once in her life. Derek was in a good mood and talking to her nicely and not being the annoyingly sarcastic and jealous ex-husband. He was happy; Meredith was making sure of that. Mark wasn't being an ass and bugging her, he was actually leaving her alone in favor of chasing poor Dr. Stevens. She had already saved three women and their respective children and it was only four in the afternoon. And on all three of those surgeries, Alex Karev had scrubbed in, giving her the chance to talk to him and swoon, but she only allowed the second one for brief amounts of time.

God she was a sucker for punishment. He had told her that he wasn't interested? He had. So why did she keep pursuing him? It was something in the way he talked to her and looked at her. He was sending annoying mixed signals and it was probably driving her crazy. Damn him, damn him, damn him. He made her feel vulnerable and out of control, both of which were two very new feelings for her. Addison Forbes Montgomery did not feel vulnerable and she most definitely was never out of control. Except around him apparently.

In any case, her day was going well, so a page from the Chief didn't really change her mood.

She walked into the conference room, if you could call it that, and was surprised to find Alex, Derek, Callie, Mark, Burke, and the rest of Bailey's interns already there bickering as usual.

"Does anyone know what's going on?" Izzie asked the group.

"What did you do now, Evil Spawn?" Christina asked, looking directly at Alex.

"Nothing, crack whore, it's probably your fault we're here," he retorted.

"My fault? I do not make mistakes," Christina scoffed.

"Oh, really now?" Izzie butted in, always eager to bring Christina down a notch.

"Shut it, Barbie. Go have eyesex with Ken over there," Christina snapped, cocking her head at Sloane. Addison made the mistake of laughing at the disgusted, affronted look that crossed Izzie's face. Everyone turned to her, focusing on the newcomer, hoping that maybe she might have some sort of idea of what was going on. After all, the Chief was like a dad to her, maybe he had talked to her about whatever they were stuck here talking about.

Almost embarrassed by the eyes looking at her, although she didn't mind a certain intern's eyes on her, she held up her hands, "Don't look at me, I'm just as much in the dark as you are."

"But it's daytime. And the ugly fluorescent lights are on," Mark commented, always annoying.

"Shut up, Sloane," Izzie groaned.

"Yeah, listen to your girlfriend," Christina grinned evilly.

"He is not my boyfriend!" Izzie exclaimed, exactly as Sloane claimed she wasn't his girlfriend and the Chief walked into the room.

"Well, that's nice to know," he remarked. Izzie blushed. "You're probably wondering why I brought you all here."

Everyone nodded.

"There is too much tension in this hospital. I've tried to turn a blind eye to it, but it's getting to be too much. If you're not at each other's throats you're trying to get into each other's pants. So I've decided that you eight are going on a little vacation for a week. Next week, in fact."

Complaints and questions rang through the small room.

Richard raised his hand to stop them, "I will not change my mind so please don't try."

"Um, Chief? Can I ask a question?" Meredith asked.

"Yes."

"Where are we going?"

"Disneyland. You will fly there on Sunday and stay at the Disneyland Hotel. You can choose your seats on the flight, but I'm assigning you a roommate, someone I think you have issues with that need to be worked out."

Upon hearing this news the doctors had a range of reactions. Christina looked like she was going to be physically sick, Burke looked uninterested, Derek looked scared, Meredith looked shocked, George was smiling, Callie had an eyebrow raised, Mark looked skeptical, Addison allowed a small, but genuinely joyful smile, Izzie was grinning like a maniac, and Alex was looking at Addison, smiling because she was.

"Disneyland? Who the hell chooses Disneyland for a vacation for a bunch of surgeons?" Christina practically yelled when they were out of earshot of the Chief.

"The question is not who, we know that, the Chief obviously, the question is why," Meredith replied.

"Well, why then. Why?"

"Do I look like I know?!"

"I don't see why this is such a problem for you," Addison interjected. All of the surgeons were walking away from the meeting in a group. "It's just Disneyland."

"Exactly, which translates to whiny little kids going on annoying, bright colored rides and eating bright colored disgusting food. Meredith and I don't do kids and rides," Christina explained.

"Well I, for one, am excited," Izzie said.

"Of course you would be," Christina scoffed.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I've never been," Alex stated to stop the imminent fight.

Addison stopped and turned to look at him, shocked, "You've never been to Disneyland?"

"That's what I just said."

"Ever?"

"Nope."

"But everyone's been to Disneyland," Addison was having issues wrapping her head around the idea.

"Not me."

Addison looked like the idea was a personal insult which almost everyone was confused by and which Derek and Mark laughed at, "One of Addison's favorite places in the world is Disneyland," Derek clarified.

"That would explain a lot," Alex said.

"Hey!" Addison exclaimed.

"She OD'd on 'It's a Small World' her very first trip there and now she's a Disney freak," Mark confided.

"I did not overdose on 'It's a Small World', Mark."

"She so did," Derek said.

Alex grinned. He liked the idea that Addison, the living embodiment of professional and perfect, had a childish, but adorable, quirk.

By this time Izzie, George, Callie, and Preston had gotten bored with the whole 'watch Addison banter with the three guys in her life' thing, although right now it was more of a 'watch the three guys in Addison's life embarrass her' thing, but that's not the point. The point is, they had gotten bored and walked away, leaving Addison and 'her guys' as well as Christina and Meredith, who were laughing every time Alex looked Addison's way.

"Is 'It's a Small World' the annoying ride that everyone seems to hate?" Alex asked.

"It's not annoying!" Addison defended one of her favorite rides.

"Addison, it's a bunch of singing dolls!" Mark exclaimed, exasperated.

"Do you guys really hate it that much?" Addison asked quietly. Both her exes nodded. "Why did you let me drag you on when we went?"

"Firstly, you dragged us on at least six times. Derek willingly went, since at that point he would have jumped off the Empire State Building for you. And I went because I am a sucker for punishment."

Mark? A sucker for punishment? He doesn't even know the half of it, Addison thought to herself, Try being in lo- liking an intern who's your ex-husband's girlfriend's friend and roommate, and then talk to me about punishment. Fortunately she didn't say any of that out loud.

"Was it really that bad?" she asked.

"Torture," Mark replied.

"Good," she retorted before striding off. "Karev," she called over her shoulder, "You're with me. I cleared with both Chief and Bailey."

Alex smiled and hurried to catch up with her, which cause Meredith and Christina to crack up.

"You don't think…?" Derek asked.

"No!" Mark reassured both Derek and himself too quickly for someone who claimed not to be interested, "No," he said at a more normal, less frantic level.

Meredith and Christina just looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
