Hey guys,

a little two shot ... I wrote I got inspired by the song "Gold of the stars" from the musical "Mozart" ... I didn't find the lyrics in English so I tried my best to translate it for you.

Some things you should know:
- the story is set in the end of season 2, but instead of the Prom there was a talent competion in SGH

- I'm not sure about the end (chapter 2) ... you'll understand at the end of chapter 1 ... so please tell me what you think / what you want to read ... I was thinking that I could maybe write to different chapters 2 ... so I could write two options ... but whatever, maybe you have a better idea. ;)

One little note:
I didn't forget my other stories, but I'm super busy in the moment, because my final exam is in June. After that I'll be able to continue writing my other stories too. Please don't be mad.

I only managed to write this down, because I'm sick and so I have some more time...

This is dedicated to all fans of Addison and to all the great people, who read and review my stories. Thank you guys you really rock my day! :D

Hope you'll like it.

Love Mariella

Gold of the stars

Addison looked at herself. She looked great. She was dressed in a midnight blue knee long dress and a little star in her auburn her. She looked at her reflection. This was her last doing in SGH, but she was the only one, who knew this. She heard Richard announcing her, "And now as the last one we can listen to Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd, who sings "Gold of the stars" from the musical "Mozart". Everybody was gasping. Addison smiled to herself. Nobody had expected this. She looked one last time at her refection before she entered the stage.

She sat down at the piano, she has done this so many times. When she was younger Bizzy dragged her to go to these competitions. She heard this song the first time, when she was in med school, in German and loved it. She understood it, because she was teached German in school. Derek didn't understand it. So she translated the song for him and he had loved her singing this. She didn't look at anyone. She just started playing in singing.

Once upon a time there was a king

who lived with his son in a castle

which laid in a magic garden

and because the king was old and disappointed by the world

the wall was very high and the gate always closed

"There is" the king said "no better place."

But the aspiration spoke to the prince, "You have to go"

Sometimes at night gold falls of the stars

You can find it, out there where no one was

Being means becoming, living means learning

if you search the gold of the stars

you have to go out there in danger

„You'll fail out there"

the father spoke to the son

"Just like me

so stay in our magic garden

I give you secure

only to protect you is he wall very high

and the gate always closed."

The king's love spoke from every word,

but the aspiration spoke to the prince, "You have to go"

On the edge of the earth gold falls of the stars

and who will find it

achieve what seemed achieved.

Being means becoming, living means learning

if you search the gold of the stars

you have to go out there in danger

Loving means sometimes you have to let go

Loving means sometimes to break away from whom you love

Loving means not ask of the own happiness

Loving means to say under tears:

Far away gold falls of the stars
You can find it, out there where no one was

Being means becoming, living means learning

if you search the gold of the stars

you have to go from home and only by yourself
alone out there in the world of danger

in the world of danger

Everybody looked at her in amazement. Nobody expected this, because no one except Richard, Adele and Derek knew how good she played the piano and how good she could sing.

Derek couldn't stop watching his wife. She looked so beautiful and he had so many good memories with this song. When Addison ended she stood up and took a bow and left the stage.

She quickly left and went to the entrance hall, where someone was waiting for her.
He smiled at her, "You sang beautiful."
"Thanks."
"And you look absolutely amazing."

She smiled at him. "Are you ready to go?", he asked her.

"Have you gotten my suitcases?"

"Sure, told you so."

"Ok, then. There's nothing left here."

After some short time Richard entered the stage again.

"Ladies and gentleman, the jury has decided and the winner of the first SGH talent contest is: Dr … Addison Montgomery-Shepherd."

When Addison didn't enter the stage everybody looked around, because by now everybody had noticed that everyone except Addison was there. Richard looked wired at Derek, but he only shrugged. He wanted to put his mobile out of his jacket, when he found a little piece of paper.

"Wish you all the gold of the stars and that you'll find happiness. xoxo Addie" was written in his wife's beautiful writing – he would notice that everywhere - written on it. Derek looked at Richard and got that something was wrong, so both men left and went to Richard's office.

"What is it?" Richard looked at Derek.

Derek gave Richard the paper he had just found and Richard read it. "What is this suppose to mean?"

"I don't know, but …", then Derek noticed something and Richard followed his look. There was a letter with his name on his desk. He opened it.

"Richard, please don't get mad. These are my resignation papers. I have nothing left in Seattle. I really appreciate to work with you and if you have some difficult case, call me. But I can't stand this anymore. Derek doesn't love me anymore, he doesn't tell me, but I know it. He looks now at Meredith like he used to look at me. I left him divorce papers and my wedding band in the trailer. I'll go back to New York, I don't think you'll find this before tomorrow. So I will call you later. Talk to you soon. Love Addie"

Behind her letter were the "promised" resignation papers. Derek stared at the letter. He couldn't believe this. This seemed so unreal. After a short while he started to move again.
"I have to go to the airport."

Richard looked at him skeptically, "Derek, you should only do this if you want to give you and Addison a real shot, because otherwise I think it would be better to let her go."
"But …"
"No, see I know this is or was or whatever you marriage and I'm not involved, but in the last months Addie tried to make her mistake up to you. She didn't tell me what happened and you did neither, but it seemed like it was her fault. So whatever happened, if you aren't serious about that, let her go, because I never saw her that unhappy like she's in Seattle. We both know she can perfectly hide this, but we both notice it, because we know her. She deserves happiness Derek. So think about it, before you do it."
"She's my wife Richard."
"Yeah …"

"I know I haven't shown her in the last months … it was just so damn … difficult."
Richard looked at the younger man, "What happened back in NY?"
Derek looked at him for a while, "She slept with Mark."
"Like in Mark Sloan?"

"Like in Mark Sloan. I send him over so many times, because I worked … I was absent. She tried to tell me, but I didn't want to listen to her."
"Just ask yourself Derek, do you want to fight for this? Because I didn't see you fighting since she's her. You flirted with Meredith Grey and ignored your wife."

"I … when she was on this stage … and singing … I don't think I am able to let her go …"
"Then go. Go to the airport. Maybe you'll get her before she enters the plane."
Derek just nodded. He ran to his car and drove to the airport. He ran inside and looked around for her. Then he noticed some auburn hair with a little star in it. He sprinted up to her, "Addie!"

She turned around. She was just about to get through the security check. When he came closer he noticed she wasn't alone. The man he wanted to say last was standing next to her.

"What are you doing here Mark?", he addressed his former best friend.

"Addie called me and asked me to pick her up."
"So you flew across the country to pick her up?"

"Yes."
"Why would you do that?"
"Because in contrast to you, I love her."

"Who says I don't love her?"
"Oh come on Derek, Addie and I talked. She told about you flirting with your little intern."

"I love her. She's MY wife."
"She told me she left you signed divorce papers."

"Oh and this means you have the right to take her back to NY."
"This was her decision and when you ask me a really good one."
Derek now looked at Addison, "Do you really want to go back to NY with HIM?"

Mark looked at Addison too, "Addie, we have to hurry a bit, because our plane will take off soon."

Addison looked between the two of them. Why have men to be so complicated sometimes?

So what do you think? Derek or Mark? Mark or Derek?
I'm really not sure in the moment.

Please tell me what you think ...
