The screen fades into Madi standing in the doorway without her prosthetic on...

The game: They say a person either has what it takes to play or they don't. Our mother was one of the greats. Us on the other hand...I'm kind of screwed, my sister though she was born for this.

"Meredith" Madelyn hissed trying to wake her older sister from the floor "Mer!' She shouts throwing a pillow at her accidently missing and nailing the sleeping man in the face 'oh shit!" Madi exclaims trying not to laugh as the guy jerks up

Cristina laughs loudly at this, causing Derek to mock glare at her

"What?..." Derek trails off, not expecting someone to be stood in front of him causing meredith to wake up pulling Derek's attention away from Madi

"Mer, get up and pass me my leg please" Madi snaps lightly not having very good balance causing her sister to jump up with a blanket round her before passing Madi her leg.

"She's got a prosthetic?" Owen asks Christina making her turn to him "yeah she's had it since she was eleven" she replies before looking back at the screen

As Madi slips her leg on and goes to the kitchen Meredith turns to Derek "this is...uh" Derek starts picking up a bra "humiliating on so many levels you have to go." Meredith tells him snatching the bra and walking towards the stairs

"Why not come back here, and we'll pick up where we left off?" Derek questions as Meredith puts his clothes on the couch infront of him "no, seriously. You have to go. I'm late. Which isn't what you want to be on your first day of work, so..." Meredith tells him as madelyn brings in a black coffee in a takeaway cup before handing to the stranger "here's a coffee for the road, look its even in a take away cup" madi smiles sarcastically tilting her head

"Why do I feel like she has those cups for this exact reason" bailey smirks looking over at the interns making them laugh "she does" Cristina, Izzie, George and Alex reply in unison

"So, you two actually live here." Derek smiles at the sister as he starts to pulls his clothes on

"No. Yes. Kind of" meredith answers shortly as derek buttons his pants "oh. It's nice. A little dusty. Odd, but it's nice. So how do you kind of live here?" he says to Meredith making Madi pull a face "we moved two weeks ago from Boston. it was our mother's house. We're selling it" Meredith tells him standing near the doorway

"Oh, I'm sorry." Derek tells them making them share a confused look "for what?" They ask "you said "was."" He replies looking at them both "oh, my mother's not dead. She's... You know what? We don't have to do the thing." Meredith replies as Madi walks away rolling her eyes "oh, we can do anything you want." Derek tells her as he puts his shirt on smirking at meredith

"No, the thing: exchange details, pretend we care. Look I'm gonna go upstairs take a shower, okay amd when I get back down here, you won't be here, you won't be here, so...goodbye...uh..." meredith tells him trying to remember his name "Derek." he reminds her reaching out his hand "Derek. Right. Meredith" she tells him shaking his hand "Meredith" he repeats "yeah" she smiles as Derek climbs over the couch still holding her hand "nice meeting you" He tells her as she backs up to the staircase "Bye, Derek." Meredith tells him as she runs up the stairs leaving Derek watching her go.
