It was a normal rainy day in Seattle. Lexie Grey has just finished Harvard University and had her first day at the Seattle Grace Hospital where her half sister Meredith worked. She was excited, because she had not seen her for almost two years because of the university.

Lexie got into the bathroom and jumped into shower while brushing her theeth. She was late. She ran through her room while brushing her hair and searching for a good outfit.

She ran down the stairs to the kitchen where her father was waiting for her with breakfast. She wondered why he wasn´t drunk. Since her mom died two years ago her dad got addicted to alcohol and it wasn´t getting better.

"You´re...sober." she said softly.

"Yeah well, I waited for you with breakfast. You want some coffee?" he asked with a weak smile.

"Well, I would want to join you but I´m really late.." she answered while watching her dad´s face getting sad.

"Of course I want some coffee." she then admitted.

Her dad smiled again – weak but he smiled – and pour in some hot coffee in two cups.

Crap I have to go Lexie thought while looking at her watch. She only has twenty minutes left but the hospital was thirty minutes away.

"I´m sorry dad but I really have to go. Love you bye!" she meant quickly and turned around.

"Lexie are you sure you want to work there? In this hospital? You know what happened to your mother when she was there. She...died" Thatcher, that´s how her dad is called, mentioned to her.

"Daddy...Mom´s death is two years ago and I want to be a good surgeon and Meredith is there. You know how I missed her the last two years." Lexie replied friendly and placed her hand on Thatcher´s shoulder. He nodded.

"Well, then have a nice day!" he called after his leaving daughter, not sure if she heard it.

Only a few minutes after she left, Thatcher went to his office and unbarred his desk draw in which many bottles of scotch were. He sat down in his desk chair and drank one glass, then two, and a few moments later he didn´t know if it was still his first bottle or if he already opened the second.

Lexie hopped into her car and started the engine. She drove out of her parking space and drove to the hospital. Although she drove faster than it was allowed, she was too late. She ran into the hospital and interrupted doctor Richard Webber, who was the chief of surgery, while talking to the newbies.

"Welcome Ladies and Gentleman at the Seattle Grace hospital. The years you´re learning here to operate will be the hardest and the best years of your life..." Webber said but got interrupted by Lexie.

"I´m sorry..." Lexie meant quietly. "I´m Lexie. Lexie Grey."

"Grey? Well then you have to be Meredith´s sister. I´m doctor Webber and I´m the chief of surgery. Grey, Hudson, Miller and Harris you´re instructor is Cristina Yang. She is in her second year and one of our best residents." Webber continued

"Okay guys! I´m doctor Yang and I´m not good at remembering names. So from now you are called 1, 2, 3 and 4. Well come with me I´ll show you around." Cristina said – not smiling at all


"And last but not least: the on-call rooms" Yang explained and opened a door. "Here you can sleep whenever you´ve got time, believe me you´ll need it. But just...don´t sleep with..." Cristina continued as she got confused. The man on the other side of the corridor was Owen Hunt. They had a relationship but he left to join the army. Cristina went through the door and wanted to go straight to the familiar face. But Lexie raised her hand and wanted to ask something.

"Doctor Yang?" she began.

No answer.

"You didn´t finish your sentence!" Lexie noticed.

"Er...Just do something helpful. Ask the nurses. But don´t kill anyone!" Cristina replied still watching Owen.

The four interns went to the nurse´s station to ask for something to do.

"Owen?" Christina asked carefully.

"Cris...Cristina! Oh my god!" he said happily and hugged her. "I´ve missed you so much! I only came back for you. There was not even one day, where I wasn´t thinkin of you. God Cristina I love you so much!" Owen said before kissing her passionate. Cristina couldn´t help but melt in his arms and they both ran into the open on-call room, locked the door and pulled off their clothes.


Lexie leaned over to ask the nurse Olivia if she got any cases when she suddenly heard her name. Lexie turned around and found her sister Meredith behind her, who hugged her and told her how much she missed her.

"Oh Mer, hi!" Lexie said when Meredith let her breathe again.

"Lexie you have to tell me everything about your life at Harvard!"

"Well, I was..." Lexie replied but got interrupted

"Hi honey!" Derek Sheperd, a neurosurgeon and Mer´s fiancé, said to Meredith and kissed her softly on the cheek.

"Derek!" Lexie screamed happily and hugged her brother-in-law.

"Lexie! Hi! Long time no see!" he replied while hugging her.

"Well," Lexie started "Cristina Yang is my instructor but she saw a red-headed man and left us. So do you have something to do?"

Is it possible that Owen is back? Merideth thought

"Hm... Well, I don´t have anything, but you can go in the E.R. Maybe they´ll need some help." Derek meant and pointed with his hand at a door. Lexie followed his advice and went to the emergency room.

The E.R. wasn´t really full. She saw a man stiching a wound at a girl´s cheek. Lexie came closer to watch him practice. She leaned over to see something.

"I don´t know who you are but you´re standing in the light." the man said angrily but still looking at the patient.

"Oh I´m sorry!" Lexie answered and stepped back. "I´m Lexie Grey!" She explained

The man turned around and shook her hand.

"Sloan. Mark Sloan."
