Dream a Little Dream Of Me

Izzie acts like she has all the solutions saying,"then just update"

Bailey looks at everyone," I do not stop ... okay, come on everybody emerges.Lapping stop, stop speculating Ranking will be published when it will be, I can not help it when it gets here, I will tell you far and clear, leave me alone I .."

Meredith shouts with a smile," Its up!"

We all lean in and listen as Bailey says,"Oh, number one, hopkins. Number two, mayo.

Hahn smirks," told you."

Bailey continues reading," Three, cleveland clinic?"

We all look surprised and Derek voices what we are all thinking," What?"

Bailey looks worried," Four, Mass Gen."

Cristina looks frustrated,"What? We moved down to five."

Bailey sulks," No we are not five."

---------------------------------------------------------------

I am walking down the hallway with Meredith and Christina, our interns trailing behind us. I currently am angry at our ranking.

Lexie runs up out of breath and looks at me,"Oh! Hey, sorry l'm late. l was just helping..."

I calmly say, "No talking unless it's medical." making her fall into the crowd with the rest of the interns.

Meredith looks at us for answers,"So l keep having the dream.The Derek is dead dream."

I wrinkle my nose and say,"Morbid"

Christina is upset with me as well, "Know who does residencies at number 1 2 hospitals?"

I answer, "Losers. And we are not a losers."

I look at my interns angrily and snap at them," Well dont stand around like incompetent idiots, go get the charts."

They scamper off and Chrisitna laughs saying," Man why you so snappy today. I mean im all here for it though."

I scowl and say, " I have not ate since the beginning of my shift yesterday, and am now working overtime for who knows why."

Meredith and Christina nod as if that makes complete sense and Meredith continues talking about the dream,"So the dream is about me being afraid of the house of candles, taking the big step. And l'm afraid of having a happy ending."

I chuckle, " dream analyst meredith."

Christina contemplates,"l have a PhD in biochem. l am a double doctor. Double doctors should not do residencies at second rate hospitals."

I think for a second before getting angry and nodding, " Your right, I graduated form Yale, and then Harvard Medical School all before turning 24 years old. I got accepted into residencies like Mayo and Hopkins. I could be at a top one residency program in the country but I am stuck here."

Meredith,"Wyatt says l should just lean into the wind. lnto the fear. So l'm gonna ask Derek

to move in with me."

Christina ponders,"l could transfer. Cleveland Clinic has a huge cardio program."

I nod at her, the idea seems pretty good. I would be all for it if I did not have so many friends in Seattle.

Meredith says,"Still top 20. Pretty good."

I rebuttal," Pretty good is not enough."

Christina continues my thought,"l want to be great. Greatness."
