AN: And the reviews just keep coming! I'm loving you guys loving the story! Thanks so much! It's really fun to write also…so I think—at least by the reviews—that I'm having as much fun as you all are with this one… Well, here's the next chapter!

"Coffee cup, coffee cup on the table, point your handle to the least…able." House turned his red mug in a circle the made the handle point to Thirteen, "Ahh, Thirteen…The coffee mug has spoken. You were the least creative today…no ideas for the disease…then Cameron saved your ass. You get to stay tonight for treatment."

Poor Thirteen...She shouldn't have to stay late tonight. She had plenty of good ideas. I don't know why House would make her stay late over Foreman or Taub…or Chase… Allison thought to herself as she packed her bag to leave for the night. I should stay and hang out with her…it's the least I could do…I mean, I'm sure she thinks I'm a total snobby bitch that came back on to bring people down…but I didn't. I just…missed it…

Allison looked at Thirteen as the younger doctor settled in her desk…the one that used to be her own. She watched her press her hands into her face and try to wake herself up for the night. That's it, I'm staying.

Allison walked over to the desk adjacent to Thirteen's….the one House had put in the office for her—He really was being exceptionally nice..she could get used to it. She put her stuff back down and sat in her seat.

This entire time, Thirteen couldn't help but think, Why is she staring at me?...Why is she taking pity—oh take pity on me Dr. Cameron—NO! No…you have A, but if A were Cameron…she could take all they pity she wanted on me… She's still looking at me..don't look back at her..who knows what would happen. She's coming towards you!...And going to her desk…what the frick?

Thirteen glanced over at the blonde the quickly back to her desk. She did this once or twice more until all of the men folk had filed out..looking questioningly at Allison as they did, but filed out nonetheless..

"Uhh…" Geez, what a way to start a fucking conversation, dumbass. Thirteen thought as she tried to talk. She tried again, clearing her throat, "Uhh, what are..you doing?" She asked.

"Well…I figure we should get to know each other a little better…and I didn't want you to think that I'm a total bitch…I just…I mean, just because I figured out what he had, doesn't mean House should have punished you…" She shrugged, "I mean, he used to..as a reward for getting the correct disease, have us stay to administer the meds and overlook the patients for the night…" She looked back at the brunette.

"Well," Thirteen looked at her, "Believe me, I think you are anything but a bitch. I think…" Thirteen didn't finish that sentence.

Allison narrowed her eyes and turned her head at the flustered younger doctor. …That's weird. I've never seen her flustered or anything but composed and cool. Hmm… Allison didn't know if she liked or didn't like what just happened.. Obviously, she caught herself from saying something..probably derogatory, but in a nice way… I like..well, honestly, I love this kind of attention…I'm a horrible person.. Okay, so she knew she liked it…but she also knew she shouldn't like it…what about R…?

Speaking of R, Allison thought she'd go ahead and send R a message.

Thirteen decided to go administer the treatment and get some coffee…just the taste woke her up. As she was gone she got a message from A. That made her smile. She knew she what she was going to do as she hung out with Cameron…ignore the beautiful woman and talk to A. That sounded good, it sounded appropriate. She should ignore the amazing woman before her to talk to her cyber girlfriend that she doesn't know the name of…that could be a creepy old pedophile…

She walked back into the office and took her laptop out. She messaged A back and took her message alert on her phone off so it wouldn't get annoying if she and A started talking.

Both women were on their laptops. Neither asked what the other was doing, and both had taken the message alerts on their phones off… To each other and anyone walking by, they looked to be working. Cameron would message R and either read some fanfiction or play games on addictinggames, and Thirteen would message A and continue writing her next installment to her story.

About a week later Cameron was sitting in her house. She had a little wine in her system…it was the weekend and she wasn't on call. She had decided to settle in and have a nice comfortable night to herself..and her thoughts. Her thoughts about Thirteen and her thoughts about R..and her thoughts about Thirteen and R…Then Cameron got to her laptop..which was never a good thing…at least when she was feeling the way she was.

'R,' Cameron typed, "I think it's high time we found out what state each other lived in…" She had a moment where her lady balls got so damn huge she couldn't help but ask That forbidden question…or maybe it was a little bit of liquid courage…

But she was just Too curious! She couldn't help it! That's why she took House's offer that time! She was curious and she loved mysteries…and aside from each mystery she'd get to help solve every week, she would get to concentrate on the new woman in her life that made her think and think…and wonder. That woman reminded her of R, which made her wonder where R lived…which brought her back around full circle….

She just wanted to know…so she decided to ask…what could be the worst that could happen? R would say, 'I thought we said we wouldn't ask that..' That's it…no big deal…

Thirteen had her laptop open; she had just finished a shower after a good run around her neighborhood. She was getting ready for the night, washing her face and brushing her teeth and all that. She was in the midst of putting lotion on her face when she heard her e-mail alert on her computer go off.

She took her time as she finished what she was doing, thinking it was probably just going to be junk mail. When she walked over to the computer, she saw what it was. She grinned and immediately went to fanfiction without reading the message before.

When she did read the message, she froze. She stayed frozen as she fell forward, bypassing the laptop, onto her bed. She pulled the computer up so she could read the one sentence again and again. Then she laid on her back and kicked her legs in the air, actually pulling herself off the bed as she did, "Fuck yes!" She squealed excitedly.

AN: I know, I know….it's a little shorter…actually all of my chapters have been rather short in comparison to my other fics…. I'm sorry I've taken all week. I'll try and get another chapter up by the weekend's end…then I won't be able to update again until probably…next weekend..but I'll try! We'll see…anyways, you all know that I'll be more motivated to neglect the things I should do and push out chapters if you review me…so..I'm just saying..
