Riley's POV

  I wake up the next morning to the shower turning on, signifying I need to get dressed. I quickly throw on some sweatpants and a t-shirt and run into the bathroom. Izzie is walking out, brushing her teeth.

"Is that my toothbrush?" George yells, opening the shower door. His eyes grow wide when he sees me, causing him to quickly close the door.

"Relax. There's nothing you have that I haven't seen before" I chuckle, grabbing my toothbrush and leaving George to finish his shower.

After I finish getting ready, I jump into the card with my roommates and head to the hospital.

"You guys must not understand. Me gonads, you ovaries" George looks back and forth between Izzie and I. 

  "Oh, that reminds me. We are out of tampons" Izzie hops out of the car, closing the door behind her.

"You're parading through the bathroom in your underwear when I'm naked in the shower!" George follows her, me walking closely behind.

"Can you add it to your list please?" Izzie glances at him.

"What?" He asks confused.

  "Tampons!" Izzie exclaims.

"Add it to the list. It's your turn to shop" I smile at him.

  "I am a man! I don't buy girl products. I don't want you walking in while I'm in the shower, and I don't want to see you in your underwear." George keeps ranting.

"It doesn't bother me ok? Look at me in my underwear George. Take your time it's no big deal" Izzie says, making George stop. I look at him, waiting for him to continue walking.

"What? You going to complain about me too?" I ask.

"At least you were fully clothed" I grunts, following me into the hospital
~~

Bailey comes into the locker room, ranting about making our residents look bad. I sit on the bench and pull my scrubs on when Alex sits next to me. I smile at him, making him smirk and nod.

"Hey Dr.Model." Alex mutters to Izzie as she approaches

  "Hey Dr.Evil Spawn" Izzie shoots back, making me chuckle.

"Ooh. Nice tat. They airbrush that out for the catalogs?" He smirks at her.

"What do they do for the 6-6-6 on your skull?" Izzie walks away, earning a look from Alex.

"Ooh. That was a good one" I laugh at Alex. He rolls his eyes at me, turning away to put on his scrubs.

I turn around when I hear Christina whisper something to Meredith, something I thought only I knew.

"I am not screwing-" Meredith starts, but runs into Derek Shepherd. I smirk, squeezing past them to go to rounds
~~

I knock on my first patients door, and enter the room.

"Mr.Humphrey? Sorry to wake you. I need you to sit up for a moment" I close the door behind me.

He rolls around on his bed, asking for the time.

"Ten after Five" I smile. He sits up for me as I lift up his shirt, picking up my stethoscope.

"This may be a little cold, so just take a deep breath" I tell him. He cooperates, taking deep breaths. Another knock is heard on the door. I push the handle down and see Izzie, telling her to come in.

"No. Get her out, she's not a doctor" Mr.Humphrey raises his voice.

"Y-yes it is. This is Dr.Stevens she's on your case with me" I reassure him.

"No. No get me Dr.Bailey or Doctor Victor." He reaches to his desk for something.

"Sir, we just need to do a brief-"

"No you don't need to do anything." He cuts Izzie off. I take a step back, accepting his wishes.

  "Is this you? Huh?" He flips through the magazine, revealing a picture of Izzie in lingerie. I take a deep breath, scrunching my eyebrows together. Izzie takes a few steps back when he tells her to get out of his room.

"Mr.Humphrey I-"

  "I said get out of my room" He cuts her off again.

Izzies leaves the room, making him throw the magazine back to the desk.

"Mind if I continue?" I hold my stethoscope up.

"Go ahead" He grunts. I pick his shirt up again, continuing the exam.
~~

"Do you have a crush on Izzie? Is that what this is about?" I hear Meredith laugh, causing me to slow down and walk next to her and George.

"No. No that's not it I- she's not the one I'm attracted to" George shakes his head, widening his eyes when he sees me.

  "Oh really?" I laugh.

"Not the one, so there is a one?" Meredith also realizes.

  "This is not- look there just needs to be some rules!" George stutters as we walk into the waiting room.

Bailey stops us, telling us to find Karev and head to the trauma room. We find Alex and quickly make our way to the trauma room where Derek is gathering blood from a mans head with towels

"Those look like-" Meredith starts.

"Nails." Derek finishes for her. I widen my eyes and look at the X-ray on the computer monitor. There were 7 nails deeply placed in the mans head.

"I, I can't see my hands" the patient mutters

"Oh my god. He's conscious!" George worries.

"Breathe deeply George. You won't pass out" Alex reassures him.

"Use four milligrams of morphine, titrate up to ten" Dr.Shepherd orders. I do what he asked, giving the patient morphine.

  "You know what, I don't want him to move" Derek thinks out loud.

"I can't see!" The patient freaks out.

"It's ok. We need you to be very still mr..." Meredith tries to calm him.

I pick up his chart, reading his name off to Meredith. Jorge Cruz.

"He tripped and fell down a flight of stairs holding a nail gun" I am surprised with what I'm reading.

"Somehow he managed to miss a blood vessel. That's a minor miracle. Optic nerves been affected" Derek speaks quickly.

He begins rubbing a tool down the patients side, asking him if he can feel it.

"Numbness on the right side. What's out immediate concern?" He asks us.

"Infection" Meredith and I say in sync.

"Correct. Uh- I'm going to be pulling these nails out in the next half hour. I need a C.T" Derek orders.

  "C.Ts are down. They exchanged them out last night. Computers crashed- have them back up by one" one of the nurses tells him.

"Typical. what are the options?" Derek looks at us interns.

"An mri!" George blurts out.

"The mans got nails in his head. Let's put him in a giant magnet, great idea" Alex smirks.

"You want films from three axis points  and a C-arm in surgery" I answer before Alex can.

  "Excellent. Dig up research and find out if this has ever happened before. Go" Derek orders. George, Alex, and I go to do as told while Meredith stays to comfort the patient.
