SPOILER WARNING: There are some spoilers for 7x05 (I think), nothing big at all, but if you don't like spoilers don't read it.
A/N 1: Okay I'm going to be honest, the plan was to somehow torture you guys like I've been tortured in the past. But I felt bad for you. It hasn't been edited so all mistakes are mine.
Callie stood outside trying to understand how she got into this mess. 12 hours ago she found out that she had won the prize and decided to go to Joe’s to celebrate with Mark. Arizona was still in surgery and was going to meet them up later. Somewhere along the way the drinking got out hand and her sexuality somehow became a subject.
She knew how much Arizona hated; no not hated that is the wrong word for it. She knew how much Arizona disliked Mark. The dinner they had a few weeks back made the situation better, but it was still bad. Callie was a bit annoyed that Arizona was jealous of hers and Mark relationship. Sure Mark is a flirt, but she should have trusted Callie completely, which she hasn’t done since day one.
However now all Callie’s arguments for that Arizona should trust her has gone down the drain. How she was going to fix this was something she needed to figure out. The first thing she needed to do is to sober up.
She knew better than to go to the apartment and speak to her right now. Arizona needs to cool down, so Callie planned on sleeping at the Archfield and go back to the apartment first thing tomorrow.
She took slow steps back to the bar to tell Mark she was leaving. When she came into the bar she saw her friend cleaning up the mess. She couldn’t be mad at Mark, what they did was stupid, you don’t kiss your friend. Callie couldn’t blame Mark completely, Joe was standing at the bar giving her his best pityface which made her feel even worse.
She patted Mark on the shoulder and he got up with a sad look on his face.
“Hey Cal, what happened?” He asked
“Yeah well it’s over” She stopped and was thinking if she should tell Mark about the ring or not. He’s her best friend though.
She took out the ring from her jacket and gave it to him.
“Oh no Torres.” He gave Callie a hug, but all she could think of was if Arizona would come back and see them hugging so she pulled away.
“How are you?” He asked her.
“I feel like shit Mark” She had calmed down before she came back to the bar, but now she cried like a baby. The very few people that were in the bar stared, so they went to a booth in the back and sat down.
After a few minutes of silence Mark was thinking of what he was going to say. He didn’t know what to say really, what is there to say? He remembers when he broke up with Lexie, nothing anyone said or did helped much really. Not even being in the same bed with two lesbians helped.
“So Callie, what’s the plan now?” He finally asked.
“Huh?” She woke up from a trance “I really don’t know. I was thinking of checking in to the Archfield and go to her tomorrow.”
“That sounds like a good plan actually. I would offer you to crash at my place, but considering what happened I guess that it would be a really bad idea”.
“Yeah it does Mark, but thanks” She saw that Mark was holding a piece of paper. “What’s that?” She asked him.
“This?” He held up the paper and Callie nodded. “It’s from the bottle of wine she dropped. It’s really good wine Cal, she must have paid a lot for it.” He said and Callie smiled at the fact that her girlfriend paid so much for a bottle of wine for her sake.
“Yeah and this ring must have costed a lot.” She gave the ring to Mark and he studied it for a while.
“Definitely, this is a real diamond it must have costed a fortune”. When he saw the look on Callie’s face he felt bad for telling her that.
“Sorry” He said apologetically and he saw that the ring had something engraved “Hey look it has something written in it, but my vision is really blurry.” Mark was still pretty drunk.
“Let me see” Callie took the ring and tried to figure out what was written in it. When she finally saw what was written she started to cry. Mark felt sad for his friend, he shouldn’t had said that something was engraved.
“What did it say?” He asked
“I couldn’t really see, but I think it said Robbins something with the year of 1938. Either the ring is somebody elses or it’s a family ring. Somehow I think it’s a family ring.” She cried before and Mark grabbed her arm.
“Look Callie, I don’t know what to say. In my opinion you and Arizona are mfeo.” He smiled before continuing. “Yes I know that I sounded like a 12-yearold girl now, but I’m your bff and I’m allowed to use those words. So I actually think that everything will turn out ok.” He smiled at his friend. Somehow he was really hopeful.
Callie looked up with no hopefulness in her face or voice.
“No Mark you don’t get it, she threw away a family ring. A FAMILY RING, she must hate me a lot. If she threw away a ring like that it must mean that she not only hates me, but she hates everything.”
Mark laughed at Callie, which she got mad at. What could be so funny right now?
“No Torres you don’t get it. She threw away the ring, because she knew that you were going to find it.” He looked really happy for figuring it out, but Callie didn’t know if he was right.
“Yeah, maybe, I’m heading to the hotel Mark, I’ll talk to her in the morning” She gave Mark her trademark smile.
“Thanks by the way. I know this whole evening ended in the worst possible way, but thanks anyway.”
“You want back-up tomorrow; because I’m right across the hall, just knock”
Callie gave him a pat on the back
“Suck it Mark” She laughed. It wouldn’t help her case to come with Mark.
Mark ordered himself another beer; this night was going to be long. Tomorrow he’ll try again with Lexie maybe.
Callie checked into the hotel and believe it or not she fell asleep immediately. After the night she had it would have been normal that she wouldn’t be able to sleep, but she knew that she needed to be in top shape tomorrow.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arizona walked home crying the whole way. She didn’t want to cry over Callie, not after what she did. However she couldn’t help the fact that she loved her. It’s almost unbelievable, but she would probably love Callie no matter what she does. For that she hated Callie for at the same time.
She had thrown away her grandmothers ring. Her grandfather gave it to her when they got married and it was passed down to her father. Originally her brother would have gotten the ring, but when he died her father gave it to her. She was the first woman that got the ring in the family.
After she threw it away she was thinking of maybe going back to get it, but she couldn’t. Arizona knew that the ring was for Callie, nobody else. So it might as well be able to go down the gutter since Callie never would get it.
Mark and Arizona had dinner a few weeks back and she found that her and Mark go along. The whole boob-thing was a cover up really. She could say a lot about Mark, but Mark looks good for a guy and he is smart being a guy. He’s a great doctor too and that is what scares her. Arizona know she’s hot, really hot and smart and a great doctor. So is Callie and she could easily go back to men or Mark more precisely.
She had trouble believing that they really were cheating on her, but why would she kiss Mark? To see if she is gay or not? That is just plain stupid, if Arizona would have kissed a man to see if she is completely gay Callie would probably have a problem with it.
When she came to the building she was thinking back on their first date when she kissed Callie for the second time. Callie asked her to come up and she was thinking that she shouldn’t have sex on the first date so they went up and had some wine and danced.
When Arizona came up she saw Lexie outside Mark’s door and Arizona didn’t want Lexie to see her crying, but it was too late.
“Hey Arizona..um Dr. Robbins” Lexie said nervously
“Hi Lexie” She said avoiding eye-contact and standing with her back to Lexie.
“Have you seen Mark? I’m so stupid he’s probably with some girl right now and here I am standing outside his door. I should just leave.”
As she said that Arizona started to cry. He was with a girl. Her girl or what used to be her girl. She fumbled with her key and Lexie noticed that.
“Are you okay?” She came nearer and put her hand on Arizona’s shoulder. As she did that Arizona started to cry really hard and she really needed a hug so she hugged Lexie. The younger doctor was surprised but went along with it. “I take that as a no. Come on lets go in.” Lexie took her key and opened the door.
Arizona put her bag on the counter, said to Lexie to make them coffee if she was up for it and excused herself to the bathroom to clean up. Arizona needed the coffee.
Lexie put some coffee and water into the coffee maker. As she put her bag on the counter she saw that Arizona’s bag was open, she saw two plane tickets in it. Lexie is a curious girl so she looked at them and saw that the flight was to Austin, TX.
When Arizona came back the coffee was done and Lexie was thinking if she should say something or not. She was invited in so Arizona probably wanted the company and to maybe talk.
“So can I ask you what happened? I thought you would be out with Callie since she won the grand?” Lexie asked nervously
“Um no, Callio- Callie is with Mark” And she started to cry again.
“Oh yeah I should have figured that out…but why are you here crying?”
“Because she is with Mark” Arizona said looking straight into Lexie’s eyes.
“Yeah but they are just friends, trust me” Lexie said trying to assure Arizona. She was worried before too about Callie and Mark’s friendship, but she found out that there wasn’t anything to worry about.
“It sure as hell didn’t look like that” Arizona said looking at her cup.
“What do you mean? Did Mark say something? He has a big mouth Arizona”
“Well they were measuring some gay-scale and they were kissing” Arizona said.
“Oh…wait! WHAT?! They were kissing? The gay-scale…oh this is totally my fault” Lexie said. She was really upset that they were kissing. Why would they kiss?
“Yeah they kissed and if I wouldn’t have caught them…God knows what would have happened. What do you mean your fault?” Arizona was shaking her head trying to get the image of Callie and Mark out of her head.
“Look, before I was worried about their friendship so I asked Callie how gay she was on a scale of one to gay.” Lexie said embarrassed.
Arizona laughed at her. A gay-scale is so…stupid, you can’t really measure that in her opinion.
“Lexie you may have created the gay-scale or whatever, but Callie kissed Mark”
Lexie went around the counter and lifted Arizona’s head up.
“I wasn’t there Arizona, but they are just friends. They shouldn’t kiss, but I have trouble believing that there is something going on between them. You need to talk to Callie”
Partly Lexie didn’t want to believe it because she thought that Mark was in love with her still, but also because she knows that
Callie loves Arizona and only Arizona.
“It doesn’t matter anymore. She’s probably going to be at Mark’s place tonight either way and I’m leaving tomorrow.”
Lexie didn’t want to bring up the fact that she knew about the trip so she played that she didn’t know.
“Really? Where are you going?” She asked
“I’m going back home to Texas to see my parents.” She said going to the counter and leaving her cup, she couldn’t even drink the coffee. She felt sick.
“Okay I think I’m crossing a line now, like a big line. But you can’t go okay? I saw that you had two tickets and you need to fix this, because you are the only sane couple. Cristina and Owen are married, but no they are not sane. My sister…not sane. You guys? Sane.” Arizona smiled at Lexie’s descriptions. She was a bit taken by the fact that Lexie had been looking through her bag, but she couldn’t stay mad.
“Yeah well Lexie that isn’t going to happen. I feel tired now so I’m going to be rude and go to bed”.
She gave Lexie an apologetical smile.
“Yeah no problem, I’m going home now too”
When Lexie came out she met Mark, a very drunk Mark in the hallway. She hit him really hard on the shoulder, but the man is muscular and it hurt.
“Ouch..you big…donkey. What the hell have you done?” She yelled at him
“Well nice seeing you too Lexie and oow what was that for?” He asked her dumbfolded.
“Oh no, don’t play innocent Mark, you screwed up Calzona and now Arizona is in there crying and where is Callie?”
“Look nothing happened and to answer your question Callie checked into the Archfield.” Mark was a bit mad that
Lexie jumped him, but he was happy to see her. No matter what the circumstances are.
“Nothing happened okay?” Lexie gav him a stare “Okay I guess you have talked to Arizona. Look Callie kissed me to see if she is gay” Somehow it sounded better two hours ago.
“Really Mark? Really? Look I don’t know if it’s because you’re a man or if you are plainly stupid, but that was wrong. It isn’t helping though that we talk about this right now.”
He gave her a smirk
“So does that mean that you want to come in for some rumbling?”
She gave him a death stare.
“I take that as a no”
“A big no Mark! Now how are we going to fix this?”
“No no no…NO! We aren’t doing anything! I’ve done enough, and you are just..you’re Lexie so no!” He turned to walk into his apartment.
“Arizona is leaving” Lexie didn’t know if it was a smart thing to say that or not, but she did.
“What? Leaving? Where?” Mark was surprised.
“She was planning on going to Texas to see her parents with Callie, but now she’s going alone.”
“Texas, and the ring” Mark stood there bringing together the pieces for the puzzle.
“Wait what? A ring, what ring?” Lexie was surprised to say the least.
“Yeah Arizona had this family ring and she was going to give it to Callie, but then the whole thing happened and she threw away the ring.” He stopped for a second. “Look Lexie we need to let them fix this. When is Arizona leaving?”
“Tomorrow”
“Well Callie is coming here tomorrow morning, she checked into the Archfield and they are going to make up with steamy lesbian sex” He pictured it “And then they are going to get back together…without us butting in.”
Lexie knew that he was right. She was upset because he did this to Callie and Arizona, but she couldn’t hate Mark. She loved Mark.
“So are you coming in or what?” Mark asked
Lexie wanted to say no, but she couldn’t and being here means that she would be there in the morning. She didn’t say anything she just went in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arizona didn’t sleep at all. She got up, took a shower, brewed some coffee and packed her stuff. She took a long look around the apartment they had shared for the last few weeks. Well she had lived there before, but the last few weeks were the first they lived alone.
She went out and the taxi she had ordered was standing outside waiting. The big problem was how she should explain to her parents where Callie was. She had been talking to them about the trip for ages and she was going to surprise Callie with it. They were both free for the weekend for once.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Callie’s cab arrived minutes only after Arizona’s had left. She ran up the stairs and went into the apartment. She looked around the whole apartment, but there was no sight of Arizona.
“Arizona!” She yelled thinking she was in one of the rooms, but she wasn’t. The apartment was empty.
She ran across the hall to Mark and Lexie opened the door.
“Callie, hi!” As soon as Lexie said it she regretted standing there in Mark’s shirt and her panties only. They hadn’t slept together, they just cuddled. Which was a real accomplishment for Mark. They used to cuddle during their time together, but he would never admit that.
“Lexie?” Callie was surprised, but she didn’t have time thinking about it. She held her hand up. “We’ll talk about this later. Have you seen Arizona?” Lexie’s eyes widened.
“Wait what time is it?” Lexie looked at her watch “10.30, Callie her flight leaves in 30 minutes.” Callie was supposed to come here a lot earlier.
“What flight and why didn't you tell me earlier?” As soon as Callie asked her she remembered Arizona saying she was going to pack and go away for a few days.
“Shit, I need to get to the airport” Callie said running back into her apartment taking the keys for the Thunderbird.
“Wait Callie” Mark yelled from inside. “There is no way you’re going to make it on time, even if you do, there’s security and everything. You won’t have time to buy a ticket.”
“Yes she will!” Lexie said running barefoot back into the apartment. She came back with the plane ticket.
“I stole it from Arizona’s bag” She said excited.
“Wow, little Grey, that’s badass” Callie said laughing, not in a million years did she think that Lexie was capable of stealing, and from Arizona of all people.
“Yeah well” Lexie shrugged, but inside she was squeeling.
Mark put his arm around them both, shirtless.
“You” He looked at Lexie “Are badass and you” He looked at Callie “Go get your girl”
Callie just smiled and ran.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Flight number 287 to Austin is boarding” Arizona got up from the chair and went to the gate.
No turning back now she thought.
She looked back wishing that Callie was going to come. Arizona knew that Lexie stole the ticket, but she didn't say anything. She could see it written all over Lexie's face how happy she was for the accomplishment, if you can say that about stealing. She wouldn’t know what she would say, but still. She thought she was going to come back.
“Last call for flight number 287 to Austin”
Arizona gave the boarding ticket to the receptionist and went through the tunnel. The flight attendant told her to have a nice flight a bit flirty, but Arizona couldn't even look at her even if she was hot. Only Callie was in her head.
She sat down and the seat on the right, Callie’s seat was empty. The one on the left was occupied by an older woman.
The older woman looked at her
“Going home?”
“Yes, home” She left home and she hates flying. Callie was suppose to keep her occupied in the toilet. She wanted to join the mile high club
Arizona turned off her phone and plugged in her iPod. “Little Pieces” was the first song that came up, but instead she changed the song to “Mr Brightside”. It felt more appropriate.
Callie was trying to call her, but that didn’t Arizona know.
A/N 2: I'm really tired and somehow I wrote the longest chapter ever. I have everything in my head, but I couldn't write more so there is going to be a part 3, although it might come in the weekend tomorrow I'll be busy.

“Look, before I was worried about their friendship so I asked Callie how gay she was on a scale of one to gay.” Lexie said embarrassed.
Arizona laughed at her. A gay-scale is so…stupid, you can’t really measure that in her opinion.
“Lexie you may have created the gay-scale or whatever, but Callie kissed Mark”
Lexie went around the counter and lifted Arizona’s head up.
“I wasn’t there Arizona, but they are just friends. They shouldn’t kiss, but I have trouble believing that there is something going on between them. You need to talk to Callie”
Partly Lexie didn’t want to believe it because she thought that Mark was in love with her still, but also because she knows that
Callie loves Arizona and only Arizona.
“It doesn’t matter anymore. She’s probably going to be at Mark’s place tonight either way and I’m leaving tomorrow.”
Lexie didn’t want to bring up the fact that she knew about the trip so she played that she didn’t know.

She was a bit taken by the fact that Lexie had been looking through her bag, but she couldn’t stay mad.
“Yeah well Lexie that isn’t going to happen. I feel tired now so I’m going to be rude and go to bed”.
She gave Lexie an apologetical smile.
“Yeah no problem, I’m going home now too”
When Lexie came out she met Mark, a very drunk Mark in the hallway. She hit him really hard on the shoulder, but the man is muscular and it hurt.
“Ouch..you big…donkey. What the hell have you done?” She yelled at him
“Well nice seeing you too Lexie and oow what was that for?” He asked her dumbfolded.
“Oh no, don’t play innocent Mark, you screwed up Calzona and now Arizona is in there crying and where is Callie?”
“Look nothing happened and to answer your question Callie checked into the Archfield.” Mark was a bit mad that
Lexie jumped him, but he was happy to see her. No matter what the circumstances are.
“Nothing happened okay?” Lexie gav him a stare “Okay I guess you have talked to Arizona. Look Callie kissed me to see if she is gay” Somehow it sounded better two hours ago.
“Really Mark? Really? Look I don’t know if it’s because you’re a man or if you are plainly stupid, but that was wrong. It isn’t helping though that we talk about this right now.”
He gave her a smirk
“So does that mean that you want to come in for some rumbling?”
She gave him a death stare.
“I take that as a no”
“A big no Mark! Now how are we going to fix this?”
“No no no…NO! We aren’t doing anything! I’ve done enough, and you are just..you’re Lexie so no!” He turned to walk into his apartment.
“Arizona is leaving” Lexie didn’t know if it was a smart thing to say that or not, but she did.
“What? Leaving? Where?” Mark was surprised.
“She was planning on going to Texas to see her parents with Callie, but now she’s going alone.”
“Texas, and the ring” Mark stood there bringing together the pieces for the puzzle.
“Wait what? A ring, what ring?” Lexie was surprised to say the least.
“Yeah Arizona had this family ring and she was going to give it to Callie, but then the whole thing happened and she threw away the ring.” He stopped for a second. “Look Lexie we need to let them fix this. When is Arizona leaving?”
“Tomorrow”
“Well Callie is coming here tomorrow morning, she checked into the Archfield and they are going to make up with steamy lesbian sex” He pictured it “And then they are going to get back together…without us butting in.”
Lexie knew that he was right. She was upset because he did this to Callie and Arizona, but she couldn’t hate Mark. She loved Mark.
“So are you coming in or what?” Mark asked
Lexie wanted to say no, but she couldn’t and being here means that she would be there in the morning. She didn’t say anything she just went in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arizona didn’t sleep at all. She got up, took a shower, brewed some coffee and packed her stuff. She took a long look around the apartment they had shared for the last few weeks. Well she had lived there before, but the last few weeks were the first they lived alone.
She went out and the taxi she had ordered was standing outside waiting. The big problem was how she should explain to her parents where Callie was. She had been talking to them about the trip for ages and she was going to surprise Callie with it. They were both free for the weekend for once.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Callie’s cab arrived minutes only after Arizona’s had left. She ran up the stairs and went into the apartment. She looked around the whole apartment, but there was no sight of Arizona.
“Arizona!” She yelled thinking she was in one of the rooms, but she wasn’t. The apartment was empty.
She ran across the hall to Mark and Lexie opened the door.
“Callie, hi!” As soon as Lexie said it she regretted standing there in Mark’s shirt and her panties only. They hadn’t slept together, they just cuddled. Which was a real accomplishment for Mark. They used to cuddle during their time together, but he would never admit that.
“Lexie?” Callie was surprised, but she didn’t have time thinking about it. She held her hand up. “We’ll talk about this later. Have you seen Arizona?” Lexie’s eyes widened.
“Wait what time is it?” Lexie looked at her watch “10.30, Callie her flight leaves in 30 minutes.” Callie was supposed to come here a lot earlier.
“What flight and why didn't you tell me earlier?” As soon as Callie asked her she remembered Arizona saying she was going to pack and go away for a few days.
“Shit, I need to get to the airport” Callie said running back into her apartment taking the keys for the Thunderbird.
“Wait Callie” Mark yelled from inside. “There is no way you’re going to make it on time, even if you do, there’s security and everything. You won’t have time to buy a ticket.”
“Yes she will!” Lexie said running barefoot back into the apartment. She came back with the plane ticket.
“I stole it from Arizona’s bag” She said excited.
“Wow, little Grey, that’s badass” Callie said laughing, not in a million years did she think that Lexie was capable of stealing, and from Arizona of all people.
“Yeah well” Lexie shrugged, but inside she was squeeling.
Mark put his arm around them both, shirtless.
“You” He looked at Lexie “Are badass and you” He looked at Callie “Go get your girl”
Callie just smiled and ran.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Flight number 287 to Austin is boarding” Arizona got up from the chair and went to the gate.
No turning back now she thought.
She looked back wishing that Callie was going to come. Arizona knew that Lexie stole the ticket, but she didn't say anything. She could see it written all over Lexie's face how happy she was for the accomplishment, if you can say that about stealing. She wouldn’t know what she would say, but still. She thought she was going to come back.
“Last call for flight number 287 to Austin”
Arizona gave the boarding ticket to the receptionist and went through the tunnel. The flight attendant told her to have a nice flight a bit flirty, but Arizona couldn't even look at her even if she was hot. Only Callie was in her head.
She sat down and the seat on the right, Callie’s seat was empty. The one on the left was occupied by an older woman.
The older woman looked at her
“Going home?”
“Yes, home” She left home and she hates flying. Callie was suppose to keep her occupied in the toilet. She wanted to join the mile high club
Arizona turned off her phone and plugged in her iPod. “Little Pieces” was the first song that came up, but instead she changed the song to “Mr Brightside”. It felt more appropriate.
Callie was trying to call her, but that didn’t Arizona know.
A/N 2: I'm really tired and somehow I wrote the longest chapter ever. I have everything in my head, but I couldn't write more so there is going to be a part 3, although it might come in the weekend tomorrow I'll be busy.
