AN: This Elliot Reed is not the same as Elliot Reed from Scrubs...I haven't watched that show since 1st season, and I don't know why I thought of that name for this character.

I'm going to need some help on the next story. part two will be the karaoke fundraiser, but I don't know of any good songs that can be sung by various characters. Thanks to taking care of my niece, the only songs that I can think of off the top of my head belong to High School Musical, and I really can't picture any of the characters singing Start of Something New. Even if it's just song titles and artists, I can find the lyrics, but it's best if they are songs whose lyrics describe relationships of characters (any pairing)

Cameron stops outside a patient's room, organizing the papers in her hands before entering the room. She is slightly surprised to see Dr. Reed sitting by the patient's bedside performing an echo.

"What are you doing an echo for? Dr. House asked you to do an EKG." Cameron smiles at the patient before returning her attention to Reed

"There were some oddities on the EKG. What are you doing here?"

"House wanted some more specific hormone tests done." She turns her attention to the patient. "How are you doing today?"

"Alright I suppose. Have you heard anything from my husband?"

"He's not here yet?" Cameron sounds shocked.

"He's in the Marines, stationed at Camp Lejuene, in North Carolina. It's probably just taking him awhile to get everything sorted out with the Red Cross."

"Has someone from the Red Cross been in to see you?" Dr. Reed doesn't take her eyes off the echo machine as she poses the question.

"Yes."

"Then he'll be here. Those things can take awhile."

"Oh. I guess I'm a little inexperienced at stuff like that. We've only been married for a few months."

Cameron readies the supplies that she'll need to draw blood. As she's tying the tubing around the patient's upper arm, she glances in the direction of Dr. Reed, taking in all of her features, bit by bit. Her hair is dark, almost black, and it has a bit of a curl to it, similar to her own. Reed glances in her direction, looking at the heart monitor and processing its numbers. In that brief moment, Cameron notices her eyes, not blue, but a bright green, with flecks of gold around the iris. She reaches up to scratch her forehead, and action that Cameron recalled House doing whenever he was frustrated; Reed nibbles on the corner of her bottom lip as she finishes up the echo and puts all the tools back where they belong. She takes the disk with the recording of the echo and places it in her pocket. She makes a notation in the patient's chart and heads out of the room without so much of a backwards glance at the patient of Cameron.

"She doesn't have much of a bedside manner." The patient's voice brings Cameron out of the daze that she was in. Cameron merely smiles tightly at the patient before quickly drawing the blood and leaving the room.

Elliot's POV

God, does she think that I don't notice her staring at me? I wonder what she's trying to find? Does she think that I might be House's daughter? Is she trying to find similarities between us? Geez, Greg was right…these Fellows of his really do need to get a life. Greg was right about a few things after all. Cameron is cute…I wonder how I can work that? Even if for no other reason than to screw with Greg. Oh well, the patient does come first, and I'm done with the echo, so I'd better get to the lab with it. I grab the recording of the echo and pop the CD into a case and place it in my pocket. I don't bother acknowledging Dr. Cameron or the patient - whatever her name is - we've got our orders, and I just want to get another cup of coffee. After exiting the room, I stop outside and pull the CD out so that I can label it with the patient number. As I'm capping the pen, I hear the patient comment to Cameron,

"She doesn't have much of a bedside manner."

You don't know the half of it. I think. Not wanting to get caught up in a conversation with Dr. Cameron, I quickly head down the hall to the lab.

Chase's POV

God I'm late! I rush down the hall to the stairs. I was supposed to be at the NICU 20 minutes ago. At least my excuse is the truth, House kept me late. I don't understand how someone that is so respected in the medical community can be such an ass. Dr. Reed seems to have some sort of control over him…if any of us had done to House what she did to him this morning…we definitely would no longer be collecting a paycheck from the diagnostics department. Speaking of… I stop outside the lab as I see Dr. Reed messing around on a computer, and I recognize the program that she's got open, that looks like iTunes, and there's her iPod. Before I can think anything else, she unplugs her iPod as a nurse bumps into me and I note the time, Christ, 30 minutes!

Foreman's POV

Pregnancy interferes with hormones, but not enough to cause cardiac problems, right? I had better did out my endocrinology and cardiology books from med school tonight. Dr Reed might be a cardiologist, but can she really help us? How do we know that we can trust her? House doesn't seem to like her…but then again, House doesn't like anyone… Speak of the devil, there's Dr Reed. Wait…what's that…is she listening to her iPod? And she doesn't even notice me. She must not care too much about her job if she's willing to walk around the hospital not even bothering to hide her mP3 player. Wait a second…that sounds a lot like another doctor we all know and love… I have got to find Chase and Cameron!

Cameron is sitting at the centrifuge, removing the vials of blood to run the tests when Chase comes in with his own blood to run tests on.

"What've you got?" She asks conversationally.

"Two month preemie with a cough, NICU attending has me testing for pneumonia, you?"

"Free testosterone tests for Jenna."

"Jenna?"

"The pregnant woman? Our new patient?" Cameron puts the blood into the necessary machine.

"Right, sorry."

"Mind in the gutter these days?"

"No, I was just running late today. House had me do his clinic hours-"

"What else is new?"

"Which led me to be late for my shift at the NICU. Then I was distracted at the lab, which made me even later."

"What was so distracting at the lab?" Cameron turns to face Chase, but before he can respond, Foreman comes in.

"So, I was walking down the hall to neurology for a consult when I see Dr. Reed walking in the opposite direction. Guess what she was doing?" He's met by two equally blank stares. "In the open, she was listening to her iPod, does that remind you of anyone?"

"I saw her in the lab on my way to the NICU, she was using one of the computers there to download something onto her iPod. Anything on your end, Cameron?" The two men look to the third member of their team expectantly.

"Sorry, but the only thing that I've had is a comment from Jenna about her lack of a bedside manner."

"Definitely sounds like a doctor we all know. She might not look like him, but the mannerisms…" Foreman slowly trails off as he notices the other two look down uncomfortably. He turns around and sees Dr Reed standing at the doorway and has the grace to look apologetic.

Dr Reed doesn't comment on the behavior of the three other fellows, just walks over to the printer as it spews out test results. She glances over the papers before turning and heading out, addressing the other doctors as she does, "If you three are done with your conversation, why don't you head to the conference room so we can let House know about the new results."

"That's another thing," Foreman mentions when Reed is out of earshot, "not now, but earlier, she called House 'Greg' and he didn't comment. If one of us did that, we'd be doing his clinic hours for months."

"The truth will come out eventually, Foreman," Cameron responds, getting up, "until then, we'd better keep our noses in our own business."
