Update 8/21/07

Phew, it's been a while since I last updated! This chapter was giving me troubles, lemme tell ya. At first, Meredith wanted to be bitchy and cold and have a past, but then she didn't. And then I was sick of interpreting her moods, so I just decided to stick to the general genre of the whole story (humor) and now you have the lovely chapter before you today.

First off, HAHA, MEREDITH AND DEREK HAVE TO PUT UP WITH EACH OTHER! It was so much fun writing that elevator scene. And it was a lot of fun writing the Viper scene. And it was a lot of fun writing the lunch scene. Just a lot of fun writing all around.

Isn't awesome how they try to hate each other, but in reality they're secretly pining for each other and waiting for the other one to admit it so they can be together forever? It's a good thing Derek has such a good friend to help him out, eh? ^_~

I know that Mark's generally a womanizing asshole, but he really is a very good friend to Derek. Aside from the whole sleeping-with-Derek's-wife-thing, he's actually been there for Derek whenever he's needed in the show, and right now, he's definitely needed. Just not in the way Derek thinks.

And for those of you who are worried (because I know there are some of you out there) I don't plan on making this into a triangle story. I detest, I hate, I loathe writing triangle stories. I got a little taste of how much I hated trying to keep up with them during SGPHS and it definitely hasn't changed. So for all of you diehard MerDer fans, there's no need to worry, Meredith will feel nothing for Mark in later chapters. And for all of you diehard MerMark fans...well, I'm sorry.

If you've forgotten to review (GASP!) please go back and do so now. Thank you!

Ciao.
