Helena woke up on the morning to the sound of George cursing the in hallway. As she opened her door, still rubbing her eyes, she saw him stumbling on some boxes.

"Not a nice way to wake up, Georgie." The girl sighed as Meredith came to her door as well.

"Yeah, I was having a dream and you ruined it." The blond complained.

"Sorry. These boxes. Oh, the boxes! Callie said she'd bring her stuff over and, huh... it's all here." He struggled to put the boxes back in place.

"Is ok, George, I don't mind." Meredith reassured him as Lena walked over to her.

"Yeah, I like having Callie here." The short girl agreed.

"I don't mind either. Nah, I don't mind a bit." He tried to convince himself. "Kick her out." He whispered.

"What?" Helena asked, confused.

"I can't kick her out!" Meredith agreed. "You're the one that told her she could move in."

"I told her she could stay for a couple days, . It's been over a week. Now there are boxes and she using my computer. And she's here all the time, you have to kick her out..." The boy was cut short as the woman in question walked out of the bathroom.

"Hey, you guys might wanna wait a little while, there's no more hot water." She warned, starting to walk away.

"Kick her out." The boy whispered to Meredith.

"Mean." Helena mouthed back to him as Callie took some clothes out of her boxes.

Suddenly, Izzie opened her door as well. "Hey, can I ride with you guys to the hospital?"

"You're going to the hospital?" Meredith asked.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go in, talk to the Chief, see about coming back." She explained.

"Oh, yes, that's good! We miss you at work." The brunette girl smiled at her.

"Thanks. Anyway, just let me know when you're leaving."

"That's great. Izzie's coming back. That's... great, right?" Callie questioned.

The female interns nodded in agreement as George simply said. "That's my towel."

"Oh, sorry." The taller woman apologized as she took of the towel, standing naked in the hallway. At that, Helena widened her eyes slightly and looked away instinctively. George simply grabbed the towel and left, a frown on his face. "He's really moody in the mornings." Callie chuckled.

"Yeah!" Helena answered, her voice high pitched as she kept eye contact with the woman.

"He's... yeah." Meredith agreed.

As Helena and her people waited for the elevator, Derek came out of it. The Portuguese girl was reading an article she'd printed as he talked to Meredith.

"Hi. I had a dream about you last night." The blond revealed.

"You did? What was I doing, bringing you coffee?" The attending asked.

"You were definitely not bringing me coffee. But coffee's good." She smiled, taking the man's beverage.

"I'm told dating starts with a casual invitation over a cup of coffee. So, Meredith, would you like to go to dinner with me tonight? How was that, causal enough?" The man asked the other two interns, who simply shrugged.

"So we're dating?" Meredith asked.

"We're dating. Pick you up at eight." Just as the man left, Helena still deep in her thoughts, Finn came out of the other elevator.

"I was in the neighborhood. Actually, I wasn't but I decided you were worth the detour." The man told the blond, making Helena smile up from her page.

"I had a dream about you last night." She told him, making the short intern's eyebrows shoot up.

"You did?" She asked, trying to hide a giggle.

"I did." She answered, shooting her friend a reprimanding look.

"What was I doing?" The boy asked.

"Yes, Mer, what he doing?" Cristina teased.

Changing the topic, the girl looked down to find something on Finn's hands. "What's that?"

"It's coffee cake. Best in the north west. Thought I better soften you up so that when I ask you for dinner tonight you have to say yes."

"Dinner tonight? How about that?" Cristina asked, ironically.

"Yes, are you free tonight, Meredith?" Helena played along.

"Actually, I'm free tonight."

Helena zoned out slightly for a moment, focusing back on her article, until she heard the man leaving.

"You had a dream about the both of them?" The Asian woman furrowed her brows.

"Separately or like... a threesome?" Helena scrunched up her nose, Meredith smiling at her.

"Nice!" The older woman commented. "Just when I think you are boring, you rise."

"I'm dating. And it comes with snacks." Meredith smiled, her face falling as Helena stole her cake and ran down the hallway, giggling.

As Helena headed down to the pit, ready to start working, a nurse handed her a chart.

"Good morning, Betty." She greeted with a smile.

"Morning, Dr. Campos. Fourth visit in three months." The nurse informed her as the doctor walked over to her patient for the day, a little girl with a broken leg.

"Good morning..." She looked through the chart quickly to find the girl's name. "Megan. I'm Dr. Campos, but you can call me Dr. C if you'd rather. I'll be your doctor for today."
