Stuck

Chapter 6

A/N: Livetoeat06: Well, I did answer your first question in an author's note; I've no idea where they are; I don't know whether there are K-Mart's or Target's in America. House and the rest are all in the same place, at the same time, because if they weren't, I wouldn't have a plot.

I should have said this sooner, but to Buzzkill Bunny, I shall give you an offended look, and say,

"I'm Australian!"

Just like my favourite character did. Because I am.

You people all want Chase and Foreman, but how much more coincidental can you get?


"I just don't get what was so important about the money," House objected roughly.

"You don't – how do you – not get it?" Cuddy stammered. "House, that was a hundred million I gave away for you."

"I'm touched." House was getting tired.

Cuddy began to fire up.

"If you're not even grateful - " but she was interrupted by House's sigh of impatience.

"Of course I'm damn grateful!" House exploded, pounding his cane on the floor. Cameron winced, but Cuddy stared intently at House. "Can't you see that?"

"Now you mention it, no, I can't," Cuddy replied snappily.

"They really are only 8 years old," Wilson commented sourly to Cameron, who smiled appreciatively. Wilson turned to the other two.

"Can you keep it to yourselves?" Wilson yelled. "Look, we're all unhappy about this…"

"Unhappy?" Cuddy repeated. "I've had nightmares about this."

"Being stuck in a store?" Cameron asked curiously.

"Being stuck anywhere with him!" she said, jabbing her finger at House's chest.

House smirked.

"So you dream about me? Any particular ones you want to share with us?"

Cuddy closed her eyes, and took in a deep breath.

"Why must you make everything I say seem sexual?" she demanded.

"I would very much like to leave them," Wilson said in a resigned tone to Cameron, "but they might murder each other."

Cameron and Wilson watched the argument with interest.

The next moment moved pretty fast. A hand lay to rest on Cameron's shoulder.

If it hadn't happened so many times before, she would have screamed.

But she didn't. She turned, calm as anything, with a murderous glare on her face.

"Chase, you scared me half to death!"


A/N: I keep forgetting that they have only candle light to see by!

Heh, nice cliff-hanger. Yep, it's short; my writer's block still hasn't evaporated, like I hoped.

And Livetoeat06, why don't you try writing a story? I'd love to see your work.

Calwyn: I agree with everything you said. Yes, I live in Australia. Yep, reading fanfic ruins the show, it's annoying, but a weekly dose of House is not enough.

Daphne Queen: You would have to be my most positive reviewers…I'm not that great…
