I know! It's been a little over a MONTH since I posted!! I'm really and truly sorry, but unfortunately, laziness, writer's block, and no time at all kept me from the story. Please, please, please forgive me for making you guys wait! Anyways, just read and enjoy!!!
"Hey! You two with the faces! I need a favor!" House stormed into the lab, disturbing Chase and Foreman from their work unpleasently.
Foreman looked up from a blood sample under the microscope and sighed. "What do you want, House?"
The doctor looked down to the floor and back up. "I need two people to go to Jackie and Abe's house to remove something."
"We're in the middle of something. Why do we had to do it now?"
"And why can't the parents remove it when they get back?" Chase added, glaring at him.
"Because that can be done later. Besides, do you think the parents are ever going to find out about their precious little secret?"
"Eventually, yes. The kids will breakdown sooner or later and tell them."
"Not if someone beats them to the point," House commented, pointing out the statement clearly.
"Like you?"
"Nope. I was thinking more on the lines of either one of you. Or Cameron."
"Cameron?" Foreman gave his boss a you-have-got-to-be-joking kind of look. "Are you kidding? She'd freeze up before she said that their kids were hiding something from them. Face it. She can't do it."
"Then it's either one of you. Do you think I'm really going to tell them?"
"Why don't you get Wilson or Cuddy to do it? We'll be wasting our time at their house," Chase said.
"Are you blind? Cuddy does it, the parents will be paying more attention to her breasts. Besides, Wilson's already done it for her."
"Why can't he do it again? I'm sure he won't care."
"Care? That's all he does! He believes anyone can do something."
"Well...maybe he's right. Maybe she can do it. We just don't think she can."
"Okay. Have you seen how many times she frozen up? I mean, sure. She's told the news before. But, she would never be able to tell them why they got sick."
"Well, I'll go and ask her for her opinion about this." House advanced over towards the door, maintaining his current argument. "In the meantime, you and Mr. Hot Stuff over there are going to Philadelphia."
"Philadephia?! House, have you gone insane?!"
"Nope. It's the Vicodin."
"But-"
"Have fun! Get me a picture of the Liberty Bell." Now, there was no choice.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Within only about fifteen minutes, the two were ready for their journey out of state. "I can't believe House is making us go to Philadelphia for no reason," Chase complained, walking out beside Foreman into a sea of 5 million different colored cars.
"He just wants to get rid of us." His co-worker began to think up of what other questions Chase might be willing to blurt out and the answers to them.
He's got a point "Well, at least we won't have and diagnose simple colds."
"For work."
Why does he have to ruin everything I come up with? "I guess. But, thank God neither of us are Cameron."
Foreman nodded and opened his mouth to agree, but instead pointed over in the direction of a small, white, couple of year old model car. "Is that your car?"
Chase made the indication that, yes, it was his. "I thought you had-"
"Yeah, I did. But...it's a long story. Don't ask...wait a minute. Weren't we taking your car?"
"If you want to walk another four aisles over."
The blonde doctor sighed, his hand reaching in his pocket to dig for his keys. "Fine." Why does he get what he always wants?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Cameron. As my one, lonely duckling here, I need a favor."
The brunette employee glanced up from the chart in her possession, removing her reading glasses from her eyes. "One and lonely? What about Foreman and Chase?"
"They went to sweet home Philadephia to-"
"Philadelphia?! You can't just leave the department helpless!"
"That's the reason you're still here."
"Yeah. One doctor can do everything around here."
"I do. I'm the one saving all the lives around this place. That's the reason Cuddy hasn't fired me yet. Or, it's because-"
"Just tell me what to do, House." Cameron scooted up in her chair, getting comfortable so she could hear the following demand in some comfort, at least. Even if it was physically.
House began stepping in the direction of the immunologist. "As my only "man" around here, I'll let you get a gold star, plus Chase and Foreman's. Only if can tell the kids' parents how they almost died if it wasn't for-"
"Why do I want to do that?"
"That's your speciality, remember? You're good at that stuff. Plus, your feminine nature allows you to be a soft teddy bear to people who are totally crybabies, except without the diaper."
She lowered her "House...I don't know if I can-"
"Awww! Come on, Cameron! You love the stuff!"
Cameron laid her eyes back on the chart to ignore her boss, putting back on the glasses and adjusting them. "Bucket loads," she commented emotionless, her attention towards House beginning to slip away.
"See? That's the reason!" Greg pointed out sarcastically.
"House, I'm busy. For the last-"
"Okay, fine. You tell the parents, and I'll give you the kiss of your life."
Suddenly Cameron's eyes spotlighted back on House, eyebrows raising as well. "The kiss of my life? You don't even know what would be that for me."
"Yeah. Look, I'm not an expert on you, but it's not that hard to figure out what that'd be."
Finally, after looking at House, receiving a "nice" expression on his face, Allison gave it up. She grabbed her chart off the conference table and stood to push her seat back to its original position. "Fine. But, when you decide to give my kiss, make sure it's not in an elevator."
"My office?"
"Don't you think Cuddy or Wilson would-"
"Who cares? Besides, it's a kiss, not a make-out session. Unless..."
"Let's just keep it to just a kiss." Cameron brushed past House and walked to the crystal-clear door, sneaking a smile when her back was turned towards him. The moment she was fully out of the conference area, though, her tiny, perfect, white sun disappeared instantly. Now, she'd just realized what she'd agreed to.
