"House is acting, really, really weird…" Thirteen locked Cameron's office… this was becoming all too common… and they both loved it. "I mean, he's moving us from room to room that won't let the documentary people inside, which is understandable so we can think, but he's acting weird besides that…"

"How so?"

"This new bitch said the stupidest thing I've ever heard in the first DD and House nodded along with it…"

Cameron knit her brows, "Is she hot?"

"She's nothing compared to you, Baby." Was Remy's now automatic response to that question… apparently no matter the question. Allison raised a brow, "She's… attractive, yes… I could tell there was some chemistry between the two of them…"

"How else has be been acting weird?" Cameron asked.

"Well… in the last DD, he asked Foreman if her idea made sense… which it didn't… again… then I suggested mitochondrial disorder and he had Kutner say what I said before he let us go run tests…"

Cameron smiled, "You got the smart idea?"

"Umm… I'm awesome… In case you haven't noticed."

Cameron eyed her, "Oh, I've noticed." She grinned, "I'm happy you're the smart one, Boo."

Remy shrugged, "Afternoon delight?"

Cameron looked at the clock, "Oh, not today Babe… I was supposed to start round fifteen minutes ago…" Allison started pulling her hair back and putting her sneakers on, "But… rain check!" She said as she leaned down and kissed her girlfriend… then she had to come back and kiss her again, "Rain check?" She asked quietly.

Remy nodded, "Rain check." Remy grinned and watched Cameron dart out to the ER.

Cameron was not expecting to be part of this documentary, but here they were, wanting to ask her questions about House, and she…. Didn't have the guts to say 'Hell no.' and then deal with Cuddy…

"So, before you worked here in the ER, you worked for House, right?" Darnell, the interviewer asked.

"Three-and-a-half years." Cameron confirmed, knowing the camera was on her and doing her best to just focus on her job.

"Why did you leave?"

"Hey. I don't want to be on TV. I'm not signing a release." The patient she walked over to interrupted.

"We'll blur you out." Darnell assured.

"Take off your pants." Cameron said to him.

"Will you be able to use any of this if I start swearing?" The guy asked as he stared into the camera.

Darnell ignored him and moved on, "Did House treat you as badly as he treats his current fellows?"

Cameron smirked, "Loaded question."

"Fuuuuoork.!" The patient laughed, "That's not even a word… Fork!"

Darnell looked at him, "Very clever." She said dryly.

Cameron rolled her eyes with Darnell at the patient's antics then pushed the interview along so she could be done, "I learned how to be a doctor from House. Or at least a doctor who learned how to be a doctor from House, if that makes any sense."

"And you left his team because you couldn't stand him any more?"

Cameron was leaned over, examining the patient, who had given up at this point, and said distractedly, "No... no. I... I love Dr. House."

"Well that's something we haven't heard." Darnell mumbled under breath.

Cameron looked up in realization, "I mean... What did you ask me again?"

"Why you left."

"I loved... being around him. Professionally. You know... he was always... stimulating. Not... in an erotic sense of the word…" She looked off to the side, knowing she couldn't pull herself out of the hole she just dug and jumped into…

The patient looked up, "Fork! They forked. And then they spooned."

~0~0~0~0~0~

Cameron called Remy to the locker room to hear what she had been working on to rectify the horribleness that had happened earlier. She turned and stared in the mirror.

"I wanted to clarify something I said earlier. I love Dr. House. And then I qualified it. Which, after thinking about it, I didn't really need to do. I did love being around him. I guess... I just wanted to qualify what I qualified before…" She turned around to look at her girlfriend, "I'm looking defensive, aren't I?"

Thirteen tried to not give into her smirk, "No, no. I think that's great. It clears everything up."

Cameron pouted before turning back around, "It's no big deal, really."

~0~0~0~0~0~

After sucking the rest of the afternoon up, Cameron decided to hide in her office and do paperwork for a while when she got a call from her girlfriend.

"I WIN!" Remy said excitedly then turned around to see if anyone she knew was around… thankfully not.

"What? You got a permanent place for House?" Cameron asked happily.

"What? No…" Remy said into the phone like that should be the furthest thing from her mind, "I win the case… I was right… the whole time… well not the whole time, but the last time! It's Lyme Disease. The initial target rash was hidden in his hair."

"Oh the case! That's good… great baby!" Allison said excitedly.

"Yeah, well… I was just calling to let you know that I'm going to be late tonight… I get to help with the surgery…"

Allison grinned into the phone, "That's good babe… You won."

"I won!" She hung up and went to go scrub up.
