I woke up today knowing it was going to be a great day. See, Dr. Kelso had sent us all (me, Turk, Carla, Elliot, Keith, Dr. Cox…) to a medical convention. Because I don't own a car, and Turk and Carla were taking Izzie, Elliot and Keith in theirs, I was going to ride with Dr. Cox.
He was a bit reluctant at first…
"OH, HELL TO THE NO! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no…"
But eventually (after what I'm assuming was a very scary conversation with Carla) he begrudgingly agreed to take me in his car.
It was going to be the perfect bonding experience. We could talk and play road games, and sing along to the radio… And he couldn't go away because we would be in a moving car.
I was still thinking about the awesome trip we were going to have when I got to Dr. Cox's place. He had me drive there in my scooter to his house because… Well, because when I asked him if he was picking me, this was his answer:
"Sure thing Angela, would you also like me to pick you up some nice flowers on the way? I know it's old fashioned, but it would be just rude to show up in a girl's door empty handed don't you think?"
"I'm going to take that as a no."
"Good for you."
I didn't understand what his problem was, but he's Dr. Cox, you can't really expect him to be reasonable. Well, at least he let me park Sasha in his building's parking lot.
I rang the doorbell and waited excitedly for him to answer the door.
"Good morning Dr. C-"
"Let me stop you right there, Naomi. First of all, this is not a good morning. I'm about to be stuck in a car with the official 'Most Annoying Person in the World' for several hours…"
"Oh, so it's an official title now? That's new."
"You sure deserve it. You're annoying me already," He gave me an angry look before proceeding with his speech. "As I was saying, we're going to be in the same space for a long time so I'm setting some ground rules; First of all, unless I'm about to hit a homeless person, I don't want to hear a word out of your mouth."
"Do you really want to spend that much time in silence?" I knew I shouldn't, but I couldn't help but interrupt him.
"That is exactly what I want. Also, there will be no singing to the radio. No humming, no buzzing, no nothing. While we are on the subject of music, you will get no saying on what kind of music we'll hear. If I wanted to listen to Alanis Morissette, then well…I'd have bigger problems."
Five hours I spent creating a mix CD for us out the window…
"If you disobey these rules at any time, I will throw you out of the moving car." He looked at me with those piercing eyes and asked. "Are we clear?"
"Yes. Yes we are." I let out a small sigh. This trip clearly wasn't going to go the way I expected.
"Now, what did I just say about the talking?" He looked unreasonably annoyed at me.
"We're not in the car yet."
He just answered me with a groan and ordered me to get in the car.
Boy, was this going to be a fun day.
