Sara woke to the smell of bacon wafting in the air of the apartment she shared with Meredith. Sebastian was talking to Meredith. He jogged over on his morning routine to see Sara and Meredith let him in. He knew Sara was sleeping and didn't want to wake her. As Sara checked her reflection in the mirror she comb her hair free of tangles and brushed her teeth. Then she pulled on a cute outfit from the closet. Dang, she'd have to buy some new shoes! As Sara walked into the kitchen she smiled when she saw Sebastian gazing out the window. She snuck up and pulled him close in a hug. He smelled good. He returned the embrace. As they held each other, Meredith made a noise to clear her throat. "You two need to seriously tone it down. If your that serious you should get married." Sebastian grinned back at Meredith. " OK, Sorry I said anything," Meredith declared, "I just am really busy practicing my lines and I don't need to envision the two of you doing what you do...um." Sara laughed, " I think you need a man, Meredith. You've been single a while, but your so attractive and kind that any guy would be more than lucky." Meredith smiled, " Thanks Sara, I just miss Scott." Sara understood her well. Alec had been tough to get over. But now she had Sebastian and he was as wonderful as any man could ever be.
Later that day, Sebastian went to work, so Sara followed Meredith to the theater where she practiced with the rest of the group. They were doing Grease. Meredith had the role of Sandy, which worked well for her. She had a lot of lines though. Their group met every Sunday night. Right after they sung Summer Nights, the director called for a break. Sara told Meredith she was doing well. Meredith heaved a sigh as the guy playing Danny passed by. His name was Kevin, and Sara knew Meredith tensed up when he was around. "Meredith, Why don't you talk to him?" Sara had been begging Meredith to go up to him since she started rehearsal. "What if he doesn't like me," Meredith replied," or what if he has a girlfriend!" Sara spoke with compassion, "You'll never know if you don't try. Besides I've seen him look at you a lot. Go for it!" Meredith asked, "Really?" "Sure", Sara responded, "You have nothing to lose." Just then her cell phone buzzed. It was Lizzie, their friend. She practically shouted with joy,"You won't believe what happened on True Blood....Oh my gosh, that vampire Eric is sizzling HOT!!!" Sara said, "I bet he is. Did he and Sookie get together yet?" Lizzie said, "Not yet, but would you meet me for dinner tonight? I have some pretty big news to tell you." Sure," Sara replied, "I'll bring Meredith. Where should we meet?"
They decided on a mexican resteraunt that just opened up nearby. Lizzie was waiting at the booth when they arrived drumming her manicured nails on the table. "So whats the big news?" Sara and Meredith both said together. " Well, I've met some one...," Lizzie started, "His name is....Matthew." Sara aplauded! "WOW, Lizzie!!!!" She exclamed. "Tell me more!" Meredith pried, "Whats he like? Where did you meet?" Lizzie blurted out " He's a singer in a band, and we met last night when the ball dropped for the new year!!!" Lizzie was totally on could nine. Sara never saw her this happy before. "I really like him, guys!" She said seriously. "So with Sebastain and Sara, all we need is to find Meredith a reliable man..." Lizzie started. Suddenly Meredith excused herself from the table and ran out into the street. "Lizzie, maybe you shouldn't have said that. She's sensitive because of losing Scott." Lizzie was puzzled, "But that was years ago!" "I know," Sara replied, " But she's still hurting. I'll talk to her. Order us some Pina' Coloda's, please, for when we get back. And don't make it a Virgin. We're SO getting wasted tonight!" As Sara stepped out she layed a hand on Meredith's shoulder. "Hey, how's things going?" Meredith was crying, " I just can't get over him. what do I do?" Sara felt bad for her friend. "Well, maybe getting back into the dating world would help. He lost you not the the other way around, grilfriend! He should be the one crying, not you!" Meredith sighed, " Your right, your always are. Your and Sebastain are a great couple, you know." Sara hugged Meredith. She said a silent prayer: Please make Meredith smile again. Sara led Meredith back in. Lizzie felt bad, so she decided no more talk about men. It was a hard thing for her to do, but she wouldn't risk upsetting Meredith again.
