Many props to TWOP's sopreppypink for inspiring this scene.
Is anyone else hoping that they'll pull a Season 8 Roseanne and have this whole season be a dream?
Thought so.
For sopreppypink:
FADE IN:
IZZY awakes with a start. She rises up from laying on the bathroom floor, absently smoothing down the prom dress. She looks down at the dress and it suddenly all comes flooding back--the prom, her dress, Denny...
MEREDITH walks in wearing her bathrobe and holding a glass of orange juice. She crouches down and hands the juice to Izzy, who takes it and starts drinking it down. Meredith sits beside her on the floor.
MEREDITH
How you feeling? You finally got some sleep.
GEORGE sticks his head in.
GEORGE
Izzy? Is she awake?
IZZY
Yeah, I'm awake.
GEORGE
Have Meredith pay your chiropractor bills. I wanted
to at least get you up off the floor.
Izzy smiles wanly as George walks in and sits down.
IZZY
I'm alright. I think it's the dress that will never be the same.
Plus I had... the strangest dream.
Meredith looks at Izzy, concerned.
MEREDITH
(hesitating)
Was it... Was it about you and Denny?
IZZY
No, it... Actually it was about you and Denny.
Izzy suddenly laughs.
Meredith and George exchange confused looks.
MEREDITH
What?
IZZY
No, you had drowned and Denny helped you decide to
come back. Him and Dylan. And... Doc.
MEREDITH
Dylan?? Well, Izzy, I wouldn't drown. I'm a pretty
good swimmer.
Izzy laughs again.
George and Meredith now exchange worried looks.
IZZY
No, you don't get it. Derek saved you, and then he
was mad at you because you wouldn't swim. And then
the Chief's wife was pregnant--
GEORGE
Pregnant??
MEREDITH
Izzy, the chief's wife is in her 50s, I think. I don't think
that would happen--
IZZY
Cristina was marrying Burke--
CRISTINA pops her head in.
CRISTINA
WHAT?! Bite your tongue! There's no way
I'd get married to anyone right now...
Cristina stops herself, remembering Denny.
Izzy assures her.
IZZY
It's okay. It didn't happen anyway. He left you
at the altar--
CRISTINA
He WHAT!? McBastard!
IZZY
But George did get married...
George immediately balks.
GEORGE
I did? You're kidding! Why in the world would I
get married?
HAROLD O'MALLEY (offstage)
Georgie! Georgie, you ready??
GEORGE
(shouts)
Be right there, dad!
(to Izzy)
There's my dad. I promised we'd go fishing today.
But hey, Izzy, if you need me to stay...
IZZY
(suddenly very strongly)
NO! George, go be with you dad! Spend every
moment you can with him!
George looks at Izzy strangely and nods. He gets up from the floor and exits.
MEREDITH
Ok, so I almost died, Cristina was almost a bride--
Cristina hmphs.
MEREDITH (continues)
And George was a bride. What about you?
Anything happen for you?
IZZY
I... I helped save a little girl... that I cared about
very much...
Izzy trails off.
Meredith and Cristina exchange a look.
CRISTINA
Hey, who did George marry?
IZZY
(sighs)
Dr. Torres.
Meredith and Cristina's eyes meet and they rock with laughter! Izzy looks at them, smiling.
MEREDITH
George married Callie??
CRISTINA
Come on, that would make her Callie O'Malley!
All three of them laugh hysterically.
FADE OUT
