"I can't believe we are actually doing this!" squealed Izzie
"We won't be if you keep doing that" muttered Christina, giving Izzie the look her friends had titled 'the Christina Glare", but seeing her friends disappointed face she reluctantly gave in and said "go hug Meredith" to which Izzie obeyed, catching Meredith in a warm bare hug as she entered the house.
"Ok I said I would help, but I'm no superman" called Burke, who was trapped behind Meredith and Izzie on the porch "I can't transpire through you, so move or I'll drop this"
"Don't you dare" threatened George, seeing that the box was labeled 'Blood Candy', meaning they were Meredith's mums' surgery tapes.
Burke, Christina's boyfriend, was helping the foursome move into Meredith's mothers' house, which they had rented for their final year of college. The new roommates had become close friends throughout their previous five years at Medical School and from living in the same dorms. Christina was the top of the class student with a quick wit and harsh tongue; Izzie was the model-like blonde, relishing the freedom of moving into her first proper house, after living in trailer parks and dorm rooms all her life; Meredith was, well no-one quite knew how to define Meredith, not that she did either, but they knew she was their friend and George was George, one of the girls-as much as he tried not to be.
"I can't believe I caved" Meredith stated as the four roommates sat on the living room floor, sharing a pizza
"You were bound to eventually" chirped Izzie "George and I had a timetable for bugging you"
"I worked that out a week in" Meredith grimaced, remembering how Izzie and George had followed her around for what seemed like years bugging her to let them move into her mothers house.
"What I can't believe" started George "is that you were living in squished college dorms when you had this house like ten minutes away"
"There were tenants" Meredith argued
"They moved out six months ago!" exclaimed Izzie, leaning forward to get another slice "and don't give us the 'it took ages to talk mum into it crap' I talked to your mum, she said she was cool about it" mouth full of meat-lovers pizza.
Wanting to change the subject Meredith asked "Ok…so bedrooms have you guys decided yet?"
"Yes Finally!" Piped up George "Izzie is having the one upstairs with the walk-in-robe, because she has the most clothes; Christina is having the one downstairs…because she has Burke" he stuttered "and I am having the other upstairs one. We thought we could use the last one as a study-slash-spare room-if we can get another bed" he finished
"Fine by me" Meredith said "As long as I got the one with the bathroom I didn't care" she then got up and headed to the stairs "I'm going to bed" she stated simply "Un-packing can be done tomorrow" she yawned, tracing the unfamiliar path upstairs.
"What on earth are you doing?" mumbled Christina
"Unpacking" Izzie stated brightly
"It's 4am" Christina replied "Why do you need to pack at 4am?"
"I'm practicing" Izzie replied simply as she dusted of the kitchen table she had just moved
"What for?" Christina asked, growing impatient
"Our prac starts in ten days and I want to be ready to get up early"
"You're mad" Christina replied, heading to the window
"Not my fault you were up all-night with Burke" Izzie teased
Christina opened her mouth to reply but something, or should it be said- someone caught her eye "Wow, he's hot!" she exclaimed, forgetting their current conversation
"Who?" asked Izzie, jumping up from her seat on the floor and running to the window "Like big wow hot!" she gasped, peering at the stranger across the street, who suddenly looked right at them, they both scurried away from the window-forgetting there were no blinds yet, so the stranger could clearly see their reaction. "See I'm not the only one who gets up this early" Izzie stated as she dug around in another box, marked 'kitchen'.
"Well he is equally as weird as you" Christina replied, sitting next to Izzie and starting to empty another box, knowing she would never get back to sleep with Izzie unpacking right outside her door.
"What on earth are you two talking about?" Meredith questioned as she walked into the kitchen, it was now 6am and she was no longer able to pretend she couldn't hear the banging that was going on downstairs.
"The man across the street, Christina thinks he is an axe-murderer"
"Which man?" Meredith questioned, peering out the window
"Sorry you are about two hours too late, but man he was hot!"
"So why is he an axe-murderer then?" Meredith questioned, staring between her two dusty roommates sitting on the floor
"Because something has to be wrong with him, he's hot, has a nice car and drives an awesome car-plus he was up at some un-godly hour when only crazy people are awake" Christina reported, moving her gaze from Meredith to stare at Izzie.
A/N
So this has been rolling around in my head for a while-it took tonight sleeplessness for it to finally come out. If you hadn't already guessed its going to be totally AU and I'm planning on it being DM with a bit of CB. Should heat up a bit in future scenes so the rating may change-but I will warn you first.
Please review so I know whether to continue.
