"Dr Chase?" Cameron stood in front of him nervously.
The doctor looked up at her over his newspaper, and smiled warmly, but that only made Cameron tug her hair anxiously.
"Bad news, as usual," Dr Chase said conversationally, folding up his paper and setting it down to his left. "Reporter's don't like good news; it's not interesting enough."
He placed his elbows on the desk, and rested his head on his clasped hands.
"What can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if…" She swallowed. "…if you'd like to meet me for dinner on Saturday."
Dr Chase didn't say anything, but his eyebrows rose a few inches.
"I, uh…I shouldn't've said…" Cameron turned to leave.
"OK."
"OK?"
"OK."
Cameron gave a shy smile.
"See you then, Rowan."
Chase stepped away from the door as Cameron burst out. She started to hurry down the hall, but stopped abruptly and turned to face Chase.
"You didn't…"
Chase nodded dumbly. Cameron pointed a warning finger, while hissing,
"Not a word."
"I can't believe it," Chase exploded in the Diagnostics office, after making sure that Foreman was the only other occupant.
"What can't you believe?" Foreman asked, clearly not interested, as he hadn't put down his medical journal.
"My dad is going out with the girl I like."
"You don't mean Cameron," Foreman laughed, still not looking up, knowing he was about to be corrected. He wondered when Chase had gotten over Cameron.
"Yes, I mean Cameron," Chase said, scowling heavily as he dropped into a chair.
Foreman's attention snapped from a case of wrongly diagnosed TB to the source of Chase's bad mood very quickly.
"Whoa. Slow down, and say that again."
This time, he wanted to be fully focused on Chase's words.
"Slowly!" he instructed as Chase opened his mouth impatiently.
"My dad's going out with Cameron," he stated angrily.
"He asked her out?" Foreman cried, before adding disbelievingly, "and she accepted?"
"No," Chase said bitterly. Foreman relaxed. He knew Cameron wouldn't-
"She asked him out."
A/N: This crazy crazy idea came to me after my friend (Japanese Geisha Doll) told me I needed a twist to my other story, saying that Cameron shouldn't go out with either Chase or House. Of course, I didn't want too much weirdness in that story, so made a new one instead, to accommodate this thought.
Depending on whether people like it, I may not continue. One good review is enough.
