A/N: This is pretty much a fanfic where the writer is on crack. I doubt it makes much sense, but you can’t blame a girl for trying. It’s called The Sing Along Event because Disney has a series of karaoke videos, which is fitting. :p Please comment, cause I love comments. They make the world go round!
Part 1 Joe tapped Arizona’s shoulder and smiled at her as he placed a shot glass in front of her. It was filled with a bright purple liquid and it practically glowed. Joe then stood tall and clapped his hands. All the people in the bar found their significant others and held hands. They started to dance as music began to play and Joe crooned a softly.
“There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don’t got a lot to say
But there’s something about her
And you don’t know why
But you’re dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl”
Arizona blushed brightly and turned away from the brown eyes watching her. She watched as Derek dipped Meredith and kissed her gently before they started to sway to the music again. He spun her around and she laughed. They both looked so happy.
“Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It’s possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don’t take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl”
At this point, Eli lifted Bailey over his head with arm and twirled around before lowering her back to the ground. As he did so, he wrapped his arms around her and passionately kissed her. She seemed to kiss back and lowered her hands to his rump and gently squeezed. Arizona squeaked and quickly looked away. She glanced at Callie who seemed to be delighted at what she saw.
“Now’s your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don’t say a word
And she won’t say a word
Until you kiss the girl”
Arizona turned back to the show on the dance floor. Cristina had climbed onto Owen’s back and they were spinning around. Cristina then slid down Owen’s back, her hand sensuously following his leg. The whole scene looked ridiculous to Arizona. Watching a jester dancing with a toy solider just made her giggle. Cristina spun herself around to Owen’s front and he leaned in and kissed her.
“Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl”
Henry and Teddy were swaying together to the music. Henry’s hand kept sliding down Teddy’s back and she kept pushing it back up. They were grinning at each other and she kept shaking her head. He leaned into kiss her and she turned her head at the last moment so his lips graced her cheek. He chuckled and raised his hand slightly while he mumbled, “Come on!”
“Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t stop now
Don’t try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along
Listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl”
Karev looked dashing as he led Lucy expertly around the dance floor. They managed to avoid the other couples and looked as though they were meant to be together and dancing to that particular song. He raised his hand to gently caress Lucy’s cheek and then drew her into him and kissed her. It was fierce and Arizona had to look away, embarrassed to be watching such an intimate kiss.
“Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Music play
Do what the music say
You wanna kiss the girl”
Mark was gripping Lexie close to him and she had her arms around his shoulders. He leaned into her and gently nuzzled his nose against her cheek. She leaned into his touch; eyes closed moving her nose along his cheek as well. Eventually their lips met in a soft kiss.
Callie shook her head slightly and then walked into the bathroom. Arizona quickly followed. She smiled as she watched Callie’s reaction from the mirror they were both facing. “Calliope…” She stepped forward and smiled brightly at Callie and reached out so that he hand gently caressed the soft swell of her belly bump. Callie looked up at Arizona and whispered, “I love you.” And then Callie snaked her left hand behind Arizona’s neck and pulled her into a deep kiss.
“You’ve got to kiss the girl
Why don’t you kiss the girl
You gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl” [

Arizona was wheeled into a room in the ICU. The surgeries had been successful, but no one was sure when or if she would ever wake up. There was a fair amount of damage to many of her organs, especially her brain, but the doctors, her friends, worked tirelessly to save her. She looked beaten, battered and bruised. There was a cap of gauze over her head and the steady beep of the heart monitor let everyone know she was at least alive.
Callie felt broken as she was lead into the room by Mark. She sat down next to the bed and gently took Arizona’s hand into her own. She hadn’t even noticed the marks on her wrists before; she must have gotten them from the air bag. Mark had sutured up the small laceration on her face earlier and she had cleaned herself up. Arizona had been in surgery for over fourteen hours and somehow, she didn’t bleed out and all her injuries were taken care of. She had no idea how she would ever thank all her friends that worked so hard to save the love of her life.
“Please, give me some time to be alone with her.”
Mark nodded his head and left the room, closing the door behind him. He pulled Kepner aside and told her that Callie wanted some time alone with Arizona and she nodded. She said she’d only go in when necessary, since she was monitoring Arizona.
Arizona’s PoV
Pain, but at least it was muted. She was lying in the beautiful field again, surrounded by butterflies, pink flowers and a beautiful rainbow in her pink sky. She looked down at herself and saw she was wearing a white tank top and a pair of pink shorts. She felt like a little girl in a land of make believe.
“I’m sorry, Arizona.” She had to strain for a moment, but realized the disembodied voice was one she loved so much. Her Calliope. “You were right. I let Mark take up to much of my time. I let him take too much of our time together. I won’t do that anymore. I talked to him. He’s still the father,” she scoffed and then raised Arizona’s hand to her lips. Arizona could feel wetness against Callie’s face; she was crying and the thought of Callie in such sadness broke her heart. “He is, but he’s not in a relationship with us. I won’t let you think that again.”
Arizona turned and saw Callie sitting next to her, holding her hand in the beautiful meadow. She was wearing a purple shirt and a pair of black jeans. Callie picked one of the pink flowers and handed it to Arizona. She smiled and smelled it and then put it behind her ear with her free hand. “I’ve been thinking a lot about what you asked me, Arizona, before all of this.” Callie reached out and gently caressed Arizona’s cheek.
“Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I would break my family's heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?” [

I’m sorry I haven’t said it enough lately, but as a wise woman once said to me, I will spend the rest of my life telling you so that you believe it if you’ll let me.” She smiled to herself, remembering Arizona’s words. “I love you, so please wake up. I need you in my life. Our child needs you in their life.” Callie was crying and she leaned her head against the bed, holding Arizona’s hand in hers above her head.

Mark watched from outside of the ICU room as his best friend broke down. He had been so insecure of Robbins taking his place, he almost cost his best friend her relationship. He was angry at how blind and selfish he had been. He lowered his head, surprised that he was crying. Crying for Robbins, of all people, he couldn’t believe it. She better wake up. He wasn’t sure how Callie would survive if she didn’t.
He had wandered off to find some food and a couple bottles of water. He settled on the Chinese place next to Joes and was heading back to see if he could get Callie to eat. He’d left her alone for three hours, but the nursing staff knew to page him if there was some kind of a change in Robbins condition. He had received no word of any change.
“Hey Callie, I brought some food. I know you haven’t eaten in a long while and we need to make sure we feed that baby. Robbins would be pretty peeved at me if I let her wake up only to find out you weren’t taking care of yourself.” He pulled the tray over and put the food on it and then touched her shoulder.
She looked up and nodded at him. “Thank you, Mark.”
“Seriously, Cal, don’t be so worried. Robbins always says she grew up with a weird name so she learned how to kick some ass a young age. She’s scrappy and totally in love with you. There’s no way she’d let go of you.”
Callie smiled and nodded, leaning back and rubbing her belly bump absently with her left hand. “You’re right. And she loves our baby. This baby is going to have three amazing doctors as parents and it’s going to be so loved. Arizona needs to be a part of that.” Callie was watching Arizona with adoring eyes. “She’ll live for me, because I love her.”
Mark couldn’t help but smile to himself and he nodded and walked back out of the room, leaving Callie to eat and sit with Arizona.
Arizona’s PoV
I smell something good. God, it’s that little Chinese place next to Joe’s. I’m so hungry and tired. She lost her train of consciousness and ended up back in a desert, next to a small watering hole. “Oooh, I remember this place, it’s from the Lion King.”
“RAWR!” Arizona nearly jumped out of her skin as she turned around and saw the cartoon Callie, wearing the silliest lion costume she had ever seen. After calming herself she giggled helplessly. “You are such a goof.”
“I know.” Callie nodded and reached to Arizona, pulling her into her arms. “You need to wake up, you know. You can’t stay here forever. I know it’s pretty and totally your style, but you can’t stay. I love you too much.” She grabbed Arizona’s hand and placed it on her swollen belly. “He or she needs to meet you.”
Arizona was crying already, “I want to wake up, but I’m scared. I’m scared I’ve given up to many pieces of myself to you. I’m scared you will break me. I’m scared I could break you again and I don’t want to ever do that! I love you, Callie.”
Callie smiled and leaned in to gently nuzzle Arizona’s neck. “I love you too. We’ve already given each other our hearts. I need you to wake up so I can breathe. I don’t want to imagine living in a world without you.”
Arizona opens her mouth to say something, but suddenly hears music in the background and her thoughts become a song, so she doesn’t hold back, she just sings to her Calliope.
“In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart
I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go
I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way”
Callie is overcome with emotion and wraps her arms around Arizona. She continues the next verse, whispering it lovingly into Arizona’s ear.
“I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies
There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes
And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
They'd know
Love will find a way
Anywhere we go
We're home
If we are there together” [

Callie had finished her food and felt a little better. She mainly felt better because the baby had stopped tossing now that she had eating. She was so thankful that Mark took the time to get the food, because the baby was definitely hungry. There was still a tightness in her chest that wouldn’t disappear. It would only disappear when Arizona was finally awake and she knew without a doubt that she would be okay.
“I need you to come home to me, Arizona. I miss your beautiful blue eyes.” Callie was about to take her hand away from Arizona’s when she felt a twitch. Her head started beating in double time as she watched Arizona’s fingers as they twitched again. Arizona then gave out a hoarse groan and Callie nearly leapt out of her skin.
“Arizona!” Oh my… Arizona!” Callie was crying again as she watched Arizona struggle to open her eyes. It took a few moments, but she opened them and smiled at Callie. “C-Chines~se smell… good.” Callie was laughing in joy and had to force herself to calm down as she leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to Arizona’s lips. Arizona’s tongue darted out and licked her lips slowly. “Tas-te good… too.” She managed a small smile and Callie had the decency to blush. She grabbed her bottle of water and poured it into a nearby cup and dropped a straw into it. She lowered the straw to Arizona’s lips and watched as Arizona took a healthy gulp.
“N-need to lay of-f… Dis~ney films…”
Callie raised a brow at that comment. She was totally elated that Arizona was not only awake, she totally seemed like herself. It amazed Callie that after all the damage she saw that her friends were able to save the love of her life. “If you say so, babe.” She was smiling ear to ear and she hit the call button to make sure a nurse would be summoned and they could alert the staff that Arizona had woken up.
“You scared me, Arizona. So much. Let’s not do that again, alright?” She was gripping Arizona’s hand in her right hand tightly while her left hand gently caressed Arizona’s cheek.
“Don…t plan on… it. So… Will… you?”
“Will I?”
“D-don’t… play coy… I’m in a… lot of… pain.”
Callie laughed softly and offered Arizona her own super magic smile. “Yes, Arizona, I will marry you.”
