Disclaimer: I don't own House. If I did, he and Cameron would be going at it like rabbits at least once an episode….preferably more. Alas, I can but dream…or write. I'm trying out a new style, so bear with me. I would love any feedback whatsoever, and any suggestions for improvement/later chapters/etc would be most welcome. Really

Cameron tried to keep the smirk off her face as the other two ducklings pumped her for information. Okay, maybe only one of her fellow ducklings.

"Perks? What perks?"

She permitted herself a slight grin. This was going to be good. "Nothing you'd be interested in."

"So it's not money, then? Office space, insurance, parking… anything he could offer you, we'd be interested in."

It took all of her control not to laugh. She was almost positive he didn't swing that way, but she'd still tease him about his words later.

"He agreed to go on a date with me." She heard them both stop in shock as she kept walking, no longer bothering to hide her smirk. Foreman came up behind her as she picked up the clipboard waiting for them, his voice incredulous.

"A date? Date, dinner and a movie, naked and sweaty date?"

She was really liking that image. House naked and sweaty…

She couldn't quite keep the disappointment out of her voice and hoped that her amusement masked it.

"He only committed to the first two."


Wilson was on his way back from House's office when he noticed the Ducklings chatting. Channeling his best friend, he casually leaned against the counter, back to them. He was just in time to catch the second half of the conversation.

" …on a date with me" The smugness in Cameron's voice made him grin.

"Date? Date as in dinner, movie, naked and sweaty date?" The astonishment in Foreman's had him risking exposure, turning around to see Cameron's reaction. Watching her face, he noticed the smirk first. God, the woman really was enjoying herself. Maybe this thing between her and Mr. Misanthropic wouldn't turn out too bad, some of House seemed to be rubbing off.

" He only committed to the first two."

Wilson's eyes widened and he resisted the urge to do the victory dance in triumph. Oh, the other ducklings might have missed it, but two divorces and countless relationships later he had learned that words didn't matter nearly as much as tone. The others had noticed only her amusement, but he had heard something much more satisfying. Disappointment. Tucking his newfound information away for future consideration, he almost missed what had to be one of the funniest things he had ever heard, as well as even more juicy ammunition.

Tehehehe. Yes, there is more. As in Cameron and House in an elevator more. But only if I get reviews people. This hasn't been Beta'ed yet, so I messed something up let me know. I want 4 reviews before I post the next chapter. Its only fair grin Maori
