Just a couple of general comments: Snarkyness is very hard to write. I admire the writers on House. Thank you for the wonderful reviews. Oh yeah, and in this chapter, I'm dropping a bomb. Haha.

Chapter 10- Extra Friendly

Chase and Chloe got back to the room a split second after Cameron did. She was sitting at the table with Foreman and Wilson. House was standing next to the whiteboard, waiting for the test results from her.

"Here, sit down Chloe," said Foreman, getting up out of his seat. Chloe looked at Chase, who raised an eyebrow.

"Thank you Foreman." She took the seat, just as Cameron started to announce the test results.

"The tests strongly point to fibromyaglia, however, they aren't entirely conclusive, it could still be something else." Cameron flipped through the folder in her hands, looking for any sign that Nora was afflicted by anything but fibromyaglia.

"Well Dr. Cameron, as much as this diagnosis upsets you, we have no other options. Give her some antidepressants and send her to rheumatology." House started to erase the board, and prepare for a new patient.

"But the respiratory distress-" She was cut off by Chase

"...Can be explained by the pain from fibromyaglia, we've talked about this already Cameron." Chase was frustrated that Cameron kept trying to shut down his diagnosis. He was right, and House agreed with him, there shouldn't be any dispute.

"Still-" She was cut off again, this time by three men who had just entered the room. Two carrying in a small desk, and one carrying a chair. They were followed by Cuddy carrying in a box full of files.

"Ms. Keene, here is your first set of files. Try and have them done as soon as possible, you've got a lot more coming." Cuddy directed the last sentence at House, as she set the files on the desk, set in the corner. Then she looked back at Chloe. "If you need anything, office supplies, things like that, let me know. I put some pens and white out in the top drawer already, and there are medical books here in the conference room if you don't understand something."

"Thank you Dr. Cuddy, I'll be fine, I think." Chloe went to sit at the desk, to start her work. Cuddy shooed the maintenance men out of the room, and left the team to continue on about their patient.

Chase, who was leaning against the glass wall tried to make it to the seat Chloe was sitting at, but Foreman beat him to it. Chase sighed in exasperation. "Well, I'll go tell Nora and take her to rheumatology." He slipped through the door and into the hospital.

"Great. The rest of you, find something interesting for me to do for the rest of the week, something that will last more than..." House looked at the clock "3 hours. Wilson, cafeteria- you can buy me a reuben." Wilson sighed, and followed him out of the room.

"I have another hour of clinic duty. Maybe I'll find another case. Anyway, I'll see you guys later." Cameron also left, leaving Chloe fishing through the box for papers to fill out, and Foreman at the table with nothing to do.

Foreman sighed and looked at the clock. 12:21 pm. He walked over to Chloe's desk. "Do you need any help?"

Chloe looked up from the file she had just pulled out. "No, it looks like just a bunch of monotonous stuff- initial here, date here, patient's name, blah, blah, blah." She wrinkled her nose in confusion when she spotted a certain section of the sheet. "Do they really expect me to sign his name?"

Foreman tried to sit on the desk, but it was only big enough for the papers and Chloe's elbows. He accepted defeat and leaned on the desk with his arms outstretched. "Cameron does- uh, did it all the time. I guess she won't have to be doing it anymore. But, it doesn't matter, as long as it's done and accurate, the hospital doesn't care. They rarely check this stuff, anyway."

"Oh, okay." Chloe had returned her attention to the papers, and started to fill them out.

Foreman straightened up and nonchalantly scanned the room. "What do you say we go get something to eat before you have to settle down too much. My treat."

Chloe's mind immediately went to Chase. "I don't know, Dr. Cuddy says there's a lot of paperwork and I want to get ahead-"

Foreman interrupted her. "Trust me, House is over a year behind in his paperwork, so you'll be busy for a while. Come on, it'll be like a 'welcome to the hospital' lunch."

Chloe looked at Foreman, and then back at her paperwork. Then at her watch, the watch Chase had given her. 12:24 pm. Then she looked back at Foreman, who was smiling at her. "What could it hurt?" She thought to herself. "I'll only be a little while, and I need to get to know these people, I mean, I'll be seeing them practically everyday from now on..." Finally, she stood up. "Okay, sure."

"Great." Foreman went to the door, and opened it for Chloe. "The cafeteria here isn't so bad. Did Chase show it to you?" Chloe shook her head no. "Chase is forgetful sometimes, don't worry about it." Chloe opened her mouth to defend Chase, but was cut off. "Where are you from?"

"Uh, North Carolina. Charlotte." She tried to be polite, but wasn't sure if she liked Foreman just yet. She knew Chase didn't, and she could tell from Foreman's tone that he didn't think to highly of Chase either.

The two arrived at the elevator, Chloe was about to push the button when Foreman grabbed her arm and pulled her in a different direction. "Here, we can take the stairs. They're a lot faster."

Just as Foreman opened the door to the stairs, the elevator doors opened. Chloe went through to the stairs, but not before she was spotted by Chase, who had just come out of the elevator. Foreman followed Chloe, and just as he shut the door, caught Chase's eye.
