Roommate Problems

Ivy is putting on mascara in the bathroom mirror next to April as she brushes her hair. Behind them, Alex is pacing, brushing his teeth. Jackson is showering and Lexie is shaving while sitting on the toilet.

Jackson opens the shower door, "Towel."

Not even batting an eye, Ivy hands him a towel as April accidentally bumps Lexie, who then cuts her leg.

Ivy turns and sees Derek and Meredith watching them, "You know, this isn't normal. Ivy, remember, you have your last physical today."

"Yes dad. But I don't understand why I still have one while you've been done for a couple weeks," Ivy complains.

"You were in a coma. And you lost a lot of blood, so don't complain and let's go young lady," Derek commands.

"Ugh, I'm having junior high flashbacks."

Arizona Robbins runs up to Ivy as she is heading to the pit, "Hey, Ivy!"

"Yes, Dr. Robbins? Can I help you with something?" She asks, continuing to walk.

"Can you have brother-sister bonding time with Mark like twice a week?" Robbins practically begs.

"Um, we go out to dinner like once a week or so, uh, if this isn't work related, I've got to go," Ivy quickly heads to the ambulance bay where she meets Hunt.

Hunt climbs onto the gurney to give the patient CPR while Ivy runs along side of it, "Lost vitals in the ambulance bay. Lets get an epi and charge the defibrillator, now!"

The nurses around her did as she said quickly.

Ivy walks up to the nurses station where April and Lexie are talking.

"But you outrank me, so... whatever," Lexie sasses.

"Well, sure, fine. Let's do it. Um.. hey, how would you feel if I started a chores wheel at the house? The boys are so messy, and we did one with Reed at our old apartment, and you'd be surprised how well it works," April asks, as Ivy nods with her.

"Are you moving in, like, permanently?" Lexie questions April.

That causes April to start self doubting and stuttering, "Why? Do- do you think that's not okay? Should I talk to Meredith about that?"

Lexie sounds annoyed, "Well, that's up to you, but I wouldn't bring up the chore wheel, Meredith would hate that."

Speak of the devil, Meredith comes up to the group, "Hey, how's our reckless driver?"

"Uh, she's not reckless. She may have had syncope or a seizure-" Lexie starts.

"-Hey, Mer. We were just talking about the housing situation-"

Mer interrupts April, "-If this is about Izzie's room-"

"-No. No, no, no, it's not about Izzies room. Its about a chore wheel. April would like to start one," Lexie throws her under the bus.

Meredith thinks for a second, "Thats a great idea. Ivy, didn't Derek have something like that for you when you were younger?"

Ivy chuckles, "No, he just told me to do chores. April and I can set it up tonight."

April whispers to Mer, "Hey, um... how'd it go this morning?"

"Eh."

"What happened this morning?" Lexie asks, drawing Ivys focus up from her charts.

"Oh, that was this morning? What does eh mean?" Ivy questions.

Mer answers April and Ivy's questions, "I'm fine."

"Why wouldn't you be fine?"

Meredith dodges Lexies question, "Nothing. I have to go."

Lexie looks at Ivy and April, "What was this morning?"

"You should talk to Meredith," April leaves.

Lexie turns to Ivy, "Well?"

Ivy sighs, "Not my place to tell. Seriously, talk to Meredith. And stop being so passive aggressive to April. Shes struggling to and living with us is helping her. If you want out of the attic, take my room, I'll stay with April."

Ivy stalks off, leaving Lexie to think.

Ivy sits in a wheelchair, eating a salad, as Meredith tells her, April, and Cristina about her appointment this morning.

"She called it hostile? Thats... well, at least it's nothing to series. I'll do some research on treatment options," April grabs her notebook to write a reminder.

"Her uterus is friendly. And I'm betting McBaby's over there is as well," Cristina nudges Meredith.

"Its sunshiney."

Cristina points at April, and does a weird voice, "Untouched by scourge of man."

"Peppy ovaries too, it's the Shepherd specialty," Ivy jokes.

They laugh as Mer adds, "Really? Derek calls something else the Shepherd specialty."

Ivy and Cristina gag, "Oh, the thoughts. Please perish the thoughts. Oh."

"Hey, the vending machines working again. What?" Lexie comes up, holding a bag of off brand cheetos.

"Nothing."

She sits on the gurney besides April, "Is this the same nothing that has to do with where you were this morning?"

"I was at the dentist this morning. I have bad teeth," That sets the group off laughing.

Lexie looks at them, "Oh, okay, so teeth are code for what?"

Mer looks at her, "I went to the O.B. today. I have massive, baby-squishibg fibroids in my uterus."

"Oh, that's terrible."

Mer bites down on a carrot, "Eh, get over it."

Lexie points to April, "But you knew?"

"Knew what? Jackson asks, walking up.

"Nothing." "The vending machines working again." "My patient eats worms." "Robbins is asking me to babysit Mark" they all reply.

Alex walks in, "Dude, Altman fire you yet?"

"What? Why is Altman firing you? Jackson?" Ivy questions, turning her full attention to him.

"Shes not gonna fire me."

"Whatd you do?" Meredith asks.

"She thinks he's a hot piece of brainless ass."
