Well, asking nicely for them has not worked, do you think threatening emails will ;) JK! I doubt it.

This is AU after the fact the Forman is leaving become public knowledge.

A/N: Vulcans are an alien race, who raise their eyebrows quite high when surprised, from Star Trek, for any non Star-Trek fans out there.

As House is step-shuffling down the hall Cameron calls out to him, "House, wait a second, why is he leaving?"

"Ask him yourself. It's No big surprise to me."

"Why's that?"

"The three of you have been here three years. That's never happened before. My charming personality usually drives fellows away rather quickly."

House's sarcastic honesty surprised Cameron and it showed on her face, as her eyebrows rose to almost Vulcan heights. It was something that surfaced very rarely.

"You didn't hire Foreman because he can break into cars. You didn't hire Chase because his dad was a world renowned doctor. And you didn't hire me because of a genetic blessing."

"Why oh wise one, then did I hire you all then?"

"We are not only the best at what we do, we are the strongest. You saw that when you interviewed us. You saw potential. You saw that Forman would push you to defend your diagnoses, that I would keep your ethics in check, and that Chase would keep you from straying from whatever we need to get done.

"Sure of yourself aren't you?"

"Shut-up House; I am not done. We all have our purpose, and it isn't just to give you people to make sarcastic quips about to Wilson and complain about to Cuddy. As much as you have made us better doctors, we have made you a better doctor too. There are times where you actually bond with patients now, and even care about them."

"What? So you think your warm-fuzzies have rubbed off on me?"

"Maybe, or maybe we just brought out what was always there. I don't know, and I don't care. But it is a good thing. Doctors caring about their patients is a good thing."

"Even when they're dying? What about then?"

"Especially then. When someone dies someone should be there to care and to notice. Everyone deserves that. No one should die alone. And if it means that it has to be one of us being there with them, then that is what we should do."

"What about the expense to you? You wear you're heart on your sleeve Dr. Cameron, do you really think it is a good idea to be around little girls who are dying?"

"It isn't about what is good for us House, it is about what is good for the patient."

"Don't get condescending on me Cameron. I have been doing this since you were just discovering boys."

"I'm not. I am just reminding you that there is more to being a diagnostician than solving the puzzle."

"Do you think I don't know that? My leg is a constant reminder—thank-you very much. They couldn't solve the puzzle in time so there goes part of my thigh. Funny how things work, isn't it? One minute you are lecturing, then the next you are being lectured."

"My intention wasn't to…"

"Yes it was. You had a point to make. Don't back track on it now. It is a sign of weakness. What happened to that book you read a couple years ago? The one that taught you how to manipulate people? It worked so well on Forman and Chase..."

"Yeah, well that was Forman and Chase."

"Implying?"

"You are entirely different. You would need a diagnostician on par with yourself to figure you out."

"You will be one day." That part House murmured to himself. Out loud he said, "I doubt you will find one. I am one of a kind."

"I don't have a hard time believing that."

"Why is that?"

"You are the single most arrogant, bitter, yet fascinating person I know. Not to mention the fact that you don't even try to disguise the fact that you sexually harass Cuddy. And oddly enough she doesn't stop you." Cameron was shaking her head and looking deep in thought despite talking to him.
