Chapter 35
"Omigosh, Brenda," said Katie with a large grin on her face. "You will NEVER guess what Dr. Foreman just told me!"
"That Chase ACTUALLY has a crush on you?" said Brenda annoyed. "My god, finally. Time to celebrate..."
"Shut up!" snapped Katie. "ANYWAYS... he told me that..." Katie took a deep breath before spilling her guts out very quickly. "You and Cuddy were sleeping together, but word got out, so Cuddy blackmailed Chase to sleep with her so it would look like you and her weren't sleeping together. Then Cameron, who was dating Chase, found out that he slept with Cuddy, and now they're breaking up. BUT... Cameron was also cheating on Chase! Now she's sleeping with HOUSE!"
Brenda just stared at the rather blonde nurse blankly. "What...?"
Katie sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Okay," said Brenda, "Do you know how RIDICULOUS that all sounds?"
"What's so ridiculous about it?!" Katie shot back defensively. She was rather proud of her reasoning skills and didn't like it at all when people insulted them.
Brenda smirked. "First of all, I told you already, several times actually,... CUDDY AND I NEVER SLEPT TOGETHER!"
"So you say--" interrupted Katie, but Brenda kept talking after rolling her eyes, mind you.
"Not to mention that Cuddy wouldn't blackmail anyone besides House. AND," said Brenda, "Not to mention, Dr. Cameron would NEVER cheat on anyone, not even your little boy-toy."
"He is NOT my boy-toy!" Katie felt it her duty to defend the wombat at all times, even if she couldn't jump him.
Brenda rolled her eyes. "All I'm saying is, you're little theory ain't right, kid."
Katie sighed as she plopped down in her desk. "But Foreman told me..."
"What?"
Katie and Brenda stared at each other. So much information and none of it made sense...

Meanwhile, upstairs in the Diagnostics Office, House was having the best day of his life. Chase had just confessed to 'accidentally' telling the nurses about him and Cameron. And now...
"How could you?!" Cameron jumped off of House's good leg (yeah, let's not discuss why she was there -wink-) and ran over to Chase.
"Uh-oh," smirked House, "She's got that evil glare in her eye..."
"Shut up, Greg!" shouted Cameron. House's eyebrows just rose in shock. This was a whole new side to Cameron. A little hawt... also... a little creepy.
"Look, uh, Cameron..." Chase started stepping back with his hands raised up in defense. "I didn't mean to... I swear..."
"We had a PLAN!" shouted Cameron.
"Hey," said Chase a little angrily, "I didn't even want to be involved with your little plan ANYWAYS, but NO! You MADE me!"
"Oh shut up, Chase," said House, "You got your little kiss, didn't you? Why are you complaining?"
Chase rolled his eyes as the angry immunologist continued to point her finger at him in anger. Profanities filled the air.
"Everything... okay in here?" Foreman asked as he walked into the office. Chase nearly backed right into him in his retreat from the evil Cameron.
"Everything's super," grinned House.
Cameron just let out a frustrated huff before leaving the office in fury.
Chase took a deep breath to control his heart rate. You'd be surprised what kind of damage Cameron can do when angry; I don't blame him for being just a little bit scared... But that still doesn't change the fact that he's a wuss.

"You're right," said Cuddy. "You're right... It'll work, and if it doesn't, we'll find another way."
Wilson nodded. "How could anyone really think you were sleeping with BRENDA?"
Cuddy shrugged as Wilson stepped back. She was calm now. No more pacing, thank god.
Wait, no, there was more pacing. Cuddy's eye caught a farmilliar glance. It was the eavesdropping eyes of the one and only Katie. "Oh god..."
"Oh god what?" asked Wilson. No use trying to calm her now.
"Katie... she..."
"Katie what?"
"D4mn nurses, I should fire them all..."
Wilson rolled his eyes. "What's wrong, Cuddy?"
"Or maybe I just need to get walls that AREN'T made of glass..."
"Cuddy..." muttered Wilson. His boss was going into hysterics again.
"But the glass is so pretty... and those nurses are so--"
"CUDDY!" shouted Wilson. "Listen to me!"
Cuddy stopped dead in her tracks. She stared at Wilson and let him talk.
"You NEED to stop pacing..." said Wilson trying to remain calm. "Those nurses... aren't even sixteen--"
Cuddy was about to correct him, but Wilson put his hand up.
"It's just a metaphor, Cuddy," said Wilson, "You would know that if you would just CALM down."
Cuddy nodded and sat down on her couch as Chase entered the room.
"Um," muttered Chase, "Not to alarm you, or anything... Cuddy, but I accidentally, again, ACCIDENTALLY, let it slip that House and Cameron were together..."
The same evil glare that had once filled Cameron's eyes now flooded Cuddy's. She glanced at Wilson before jumping up to yell at Chase. Boy, he just wasn't having a good day, was he?
