I am so sorry about my delays to everyone. I am buried in snow and homework. I am making progress. Just give me some time. I've taken a lot of time already, but hey, that's life.
This is meant for readers in the Starfox Community, if they read Trauma Center too. So, TC fans, ignore my previous words, and get ready for Return to Caduceus!

Return to Caduceus
Prologue

Derek awoke from his cot, and blinked the sleep from his eyes. He quickly got out of bed, washed up, changed into his normal attire, and headed down a few floors before reaching his unit. Leslie and Tyler were already down, waiting for Derek.

"Hey, Dr. Stiles, guess what day it is today?" Leslie quizzed. Derek sighed.

"Well, today's a Saturday and-"

"No! Today is your day off!" Leslie squealed lightheartedly. Derek's face lit up.

"So that means-"

"Yup, Angie's got a day off too. Hey, Dr. Chase, just look at Dr. Stiles' face!" Leslie giggled. Tyler smirked.

"So, what're your plans for today, Doctor?" Tyler glanced at Leslie, and they both started laughing. Derek narrowed his eyes at his colleagues.

"I plan on-"

"Hey Derek!" Derek whipped around to see Angie.

She was out of uniform, which he saw very rarely, and she was wearing a black cami with a denim coat without sleeves, which went down to her hip. She wore cobalt blue skinny jeans, and black shoes. Derek was gawking at her a bit, before Angie spoke up.

"Err...Derek...?" Angie trailed off with a confused expression. Derek shook his head, quickly removing all previous thoughts from his mind and looking at Angie.

"H-Hi Angie." Derek managed to start, but he quickly brushed past Angie and handed back upstairs glumly to change.

Leslie and Tyler watched Derek trudge up the stairs, and Angie had a mixed expression.

"I hope you two didn't give him some chemical from Victor's lab that makes him mood-swing." Angie looked at the two doctors, who exchanged nervous glances and laughed.

"No I think it was just you." Tyler started, but stopped when Angie took a threatening step forward towards him, gritting her teeth, and clenching her fists.

"Okay, okay, you win...!" Tyler backed up, holding his hands up in defense. Angie released her fists, and lowered her gaze.

"Don't ruin this for me, Chase."

"I won't. Or I'll try not to." Tyler jokingly teased. Angie smirked and proceeded towards the stairs to wait for Derek. A few minutes passed, and Derek hurried down the stairs wearing a light blue, long-sleeved collared shirt. Along with that, he wore black long pants and classy black shoes.

"And you call that casual?" Tyler stifled a laugh, but his expression turned neutral when Derek's turned serious.

"Got a problem-?"

"Derek, let's go, before you blow your top off dealing with these two." Angie turned her innocent face to Derek, and he cooled down.

"Hm. Okay." Derek turned to Angie and smiled warmly. They both proceeded to the huge automatic doors that led out of Caduceus, and somehow, Derek knew that this day would go smoothly, without any interruptions or distractions between him and Angie.

Or so he thought.
