I like this one a lot! It's very Izzie to outlaw "goodbye" and to be worrying about things like Meredith's wedding dress right before going into surgery.

Well, let's hear it for distraction -- I can see her playing some part in the planning of the wedding, in order to do just that.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Wow, this is so so so true to both characters. And their relationship and ... just WOW!

[slybrunette]

Aw thanks! I had a few doubts about it, since I wrote it at about one this morning, but it was a lot of fun to do regardless. I love writing their banter, even in situations like this.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

“I’m supposed to be saying hello anyways.”
i love this line. It says so much in such few words. So Alex.
Very much in character as usual.
Thanks for sharing.

I wanted to give a little throwback to earlier this season, and how far they've gotten since those first few episodes.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

Okay here is my confession now, for why I wanted you to write this. I had a dream the other night and it was HORRIBLE, and about Izzie, and Alex, and I woke up with my face SOAKED from crying in my sleep. I AM SO LAME.

SO, I am really glad that you made this kind of happy.

AW. It's okay, bb, I have those kinds of dreams too. Honestly though, I didn't want to go depressing with this. Because it's something people have done before -- they goodbye, the time that comes where there's nothing left to do but let go. If I ever do something like that...well, it'll have to be a really good idea, because I'll only do it once. And I don't have the idea yet. So this came up.

I'm really glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I like that you didn't go the obvious way of writing about Izzie dying or something along those lines. Very clever interpretation of the prompt. Great job, hun. :)

I generally try to go the road less traveled with these sort of words, and honestly, that late at night I don't want to write something that's going to make me sad. I wanted something a little more light-hearted.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
