april asked as she closed the door to the attendings' lounge where meredith, kelsey, and alex were seated, eating pizza.

"pizza?" alex offered, to which she just exhaled and looked over at kelsey and meredith.

"i have stupid teenage patients who superglued themselves together so their parents can't tear them apart"

"mm. that sounds romantic" kelsey commented.

"yeah. more like moronic. i have no idea how to get them apart without taking off half their skin"

"try acetone"

"try going away" april said to alex before letting out a sigh. "meredith, kelsey. any ideas?"

"'mm. acetone?"

"thank you" april said with a smile before turning around and leaving. 

"so what's the deal with stark? kelsey says he's nonchalant jackass"

"more like a lazy, backstabbing weasel. why?"

"because we called him in to examine this patient—"

"you called him in? ha! i wish i coulda seen that. you don't call stark"

"well, our kid just had pectus excavatum surgery and he was in serious pain"

"yesterday my fundoplication patient was vomiting. you don't call stark. why didn't you just handle it, livingston?"

"because this kid's mother is a nurse at seattle pres and she said she knows about how residents are always half asleep on the night shift and their attendings are no where to be found and yada yada yada. she didn't trust us basically and requested we call stark" she said before shrugging, taking a bite of her pizza.

"let's play a game. there's one rule. you don't call stark"

"alex, i'm serious. normally i would handle this myself, but i haven't been on peds in a while, kelsey's been in o.b., and you know the complications with these kids"

"wait a minute. we should just handle it ourselves. if stark doesn't want to care, he doesn't have to. we'll get an l.d.h., a c.r.p, and a sed rate" kelsey said, looking over at alex for his response.

"that's smart. with stark, you have to cover all your bases so if you do end up calling him, he has no excuse but to get off his ass and come in" he explained before taking a bite of his pizza.

"works for me"

kelsey asked as she walked up to teddy in the hallway.

"oh, well, joe took my keys, so i'm—i'm pretty sure...i shouldn't be practicing medicine" she slightly slurred, whispering the last part.

"well, what are you doing here then?"
