House came into the conference room just as Chase was leaving. He blocked the young Australian with his cane because if he couldn't get answers from Wilson, he sure as hell was getting the needed information from the blonde doctor.
"Hoax is up, what the hell is wrong with Cameron," House asked.
Chase just looked at him.
"Is she taking too many cocaine? Alcohol? Don't tell me that she slept with you again," House added sarcastically.
"Maybe she likes you House. You are just too much of a misanthrope to see it and what's up with you, anyway?" Chase asked seeing as House was too mad for his liking.
House had a thought and it was that the whole hospital was going crazy. That or it was a really bad dream where Cameron admitted her feelings for him, Foreman avoided him, Wilson didn't tell him everything, Cuddy didn't have to coax him into clinic, and Chase actually had a backbone. Nah, it had to be a funny coincidence, House thought. He wacked Chase in the shin when he attempted to leave.
"What's your problem," Chase asked irritably.
"You. Are. Moody," House commented.
"You are a miserable hag," Chase shot back.
House rose his eyebrows.
"I played a prank on you," Chase finally said.
"How does this play into Cameron asking me to have her baby with her," House asked curiously.
Chase sighed. "I asked her to distract you because you were way too miserable."
"There must have been an ulterior motive behind this," House remarked temper rising.
Of all the damned rotten things that they could have done, it had to have been this. He got it now, the team was just anxious to get him back to work. Did they know that he was entirely miserable all the time? No all they cared about was themselves.
"If you really want to know, to keep you from thinking about Stacy. You know what it worked because you're way too busy thinking about what's wrong with everybody else except yourself that you didn't even remember to pine after her," Chase snapped.
A very un-Chase like behavior, House observed. He wasn't going to consider it at the least because he was too angry that they'd plaly that type of prank on him.
"You had no right to even try that! Excuse me, All of you Australians must go into other's businesses," House exclaimed.
"You had no right to invite my dad over for that consult. You have no right to even try to find out about my personal life because that's what it is personal, but no it had never even stopped you because all you care about is a puzzle that can't be solved," Chase snarked and just before he left he added, "By the way I quit!"
"Goooddd to hear it buddy!" House yelled emphasizing the word 'good'.
It was when Chase had truly left that House compleplated the reasons behind the Aussie's actions. That was when the Foreman and Wilson showed up.
"We heard your yelling all the way down the hall, House Chase just can't quit," Wilson told him.
"Why not, it's his choice," House retorted now taking a seat and taking vicodin for his throbbing leg.
"The bigger problem is that Chase is way too head over heels with Cameron," Foreman told him.
House thought for a moment and smiled. He had a way to get the Aussie back after all. He then turned to both of them.
"Were you all in this prank," He asked.
Foreman and Wilson looked shocked but then Foreman answered, "Actually I was in the planning and Wilson overheard."
"You didn't even tell me, your best friend," House asked turning to Wilson emphasizing 'me' and 'best friend'.
"Never mind," House interrupted before the others could begin to talk. "I have a plan that's guarenteed to work..."
