Author's note: Foolishly I was discouraged from writing this fic for a while because of the flames I got, but then I thought, I'm not writing these fics for the people who flame, I'm writing them for me. A really, really stupidly short chapter, but who really cares? Please R&R and please flame if you wish. I'm in a laughing mood and I need something to make me laugh.

The thin letter fell out of the envelope and he bit his lip, being so nervous. He really wanted the job, Weaver couldn't turn him away. He picked up the letter and read out loud to himself, his voice shaking.

"Dear Mr Asher, we appreciated your interest in the job and are pleased to reward you with the job. blah blah blah, phone to arrange your first shift." He grinned to himself and suddenly noticed a small note that had fallen out of the envelope with the main letter. It said, Don't screw up this time Malluci. He could almost hear Dr Weaver's voice as he read it.

He phoned the hospital to arrange his first shift and ended up with a shift starting the next day at the civilised time of 8pm. He couldn't wait to get back, it was as though he had just taken a long holiday and was finally coming back to his home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~the next day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jason took a deep breath and walked into the ER. He was wearing the white coat that proper doctors were supposed to wear. He never had worn one before apart from when he couldn't wear his normal clothes. He felt more experienced than before, the coat really was getting to him.

He walked in and after an interesting talk with Frank he went off to the lounge with his new locker combination. He deposited his stuff in the lounge and was about to leave when Jing-mei Chen walked in.

The first thing she did was laugh at the white coat, but after she got over that she said, "Hey Dave! I mean Jason. You got the job then. I'm glad, you deserve it."

"I sure do."

"Wanna help me with a drunk with who's stuck a beer bottle up his nose?"

"No, but I will." They left the lounge together and the swearing drunk became Jason's first patient. The day was pretty dull and as Dr Weaver wasn't on people were quite relaxed. There was a new doctor called Susan Lewis who was quite easy on the eye, but not really his type. He had lunch at Doc Magoos with Carter, Abby, Chuny, Malik, Jing-mei and a bunch of other people who decided to buy him a welcome back lunch. His shift was really quite boring, but there was no doubt about it, it was good to be back.

Later in the lounge Carter and Abby were talking, well actually scheming.

"You really think that would be a good idea?" Carter asked, doubting Abby's idea as soon as he heard it.

"Yes."

"But, they fight all the time. If they ever got into a relationship, well..."

"Look I'm not saying that we should just set them up, I'm saying that we should give her a little push in the right direction."

"What about him?"

"Oh believe me, he would jump at the chance if it was given to him. She's the one who needs convincing."

"Well I think that it's a bad idea, but if you want to do that, I won't tell him."

"Fine"
