Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Disclaimer: Grey's Anatomy is not mine.

A/N This story will be MerDer, they are still together, they are just living in the world of the dead. I thought it would be interesting to see how they interact with some of their old patients. And how those left behind deal.

Together in Deadland...

Meredith drowned. Instead of waiting in the hallway to see if Meredith will live, Derek goes out and does something stupid. He gets hit by a truck and dies instantly.

Seattle of the Dead

"Am I Dead?" Meredith asked, gazing up at Denny and Bomb squad dude.

"Yep," Denny told her, "Sort of."

"What’s that supposed to mean?" Meredith demanded. The dead guys shrugged. "How can I not be dead? You’re here, he's here, and you guys are undeniably dead."

"You drowned Meredith," Dylan told her, "Derek pulled you out of the water, and at this very moment there are doctors up there trying to save you. You could go any way at this point."

"So I’m dead at the moment," Meredith said thoughtfully, trying hard to comprehend, "But I might not stay dead."

"Exactly!" Denny said, relieved that he didn’t have to come up with another explanation for the situation.

"So we do what?" Meredith asked, "Wait? Well that's dull."

"What do you expect us to do about that?" demanded Dylan.

"I don’t know," Meredith shrugged, "entertain me."

"How 'bout we just sit here and stare at each other?" suggested Denny.

"Or we could get tacos," added Dylan.

"They have Taco Bells in dead world?" asked Meredith.

"Well, not exactly," Dylan explained, "but there’s a 'Beef-in-tortilla Ding' on every street corner."

"Now that you mention it," Denny said, "I am kind of hungry, yeah. Let’s get tacos while we wait to see if Meredith is going to become a permanent member of our posse."

"Whatever," Meredith shrugged, hopping off the gurney.

Seattle of the living

Derek Shepard paced anxiously up and down the hall out side the room. He was soaking wet, but he didn’t notice, his fear was too great. When he heard the shriek of Meredith's heart monitor flat-lining, his entire body just went numb.

Before he knew what was happening, he was just running as fast as he possibly could to get away from the hospital. He paid no attention to where he was going, just ran until he felt that his side was about to burst. Then he stopped. Lifting his arms over his head to help regulate his breathing, Derek opened his eyes, for the last time. The last thing he ever saw were two bright head lights, bearing down on him. Then everything went black. All of the stress of the world left him and he was calm. Dead to the world. Literally.
