Cameron laughed as she walked with her new best friend. They ducked into their tent and Cameron pulled out a shoebox with a purple ribbon wrapped around it. As she gingerly untied the ribbon, she continued chatting.

"Sam, you know how I was talking before about Dr. Foreman and Dr. Chase. Well, this is them" she pulled out the photograph of the three of them at Wilson's party, and Sam could guess - from Cameron's descriptions earlier - which was which. "Hey, I started writing them a letter, would you like to add anything to it? You know, say 'hi, I'm Cameron's friend' or something."

"Sure." Cameron handed her a pen and Sam added a few things to the letter.

Hi Foreman and Chase!

I miss you too! I'm having the best time here (haven't lost a patient yet!) Do you have any new patients yet?-aside from the clinic, of course. Is House really acting strange? Not that he isn't always strange. I can't write for long because there are lots of things I've got to do. Write me back, okay? If you're really bored try stealing House's gameboy while he's watching General Hospital. At least it's entertainment. If he catches you, blame it on me. Talk to you later,

Cameron

Hi Princeton-Plainsbro,

I am Allison's new friend. Why do you all call her Cameron? It's so boy-ish, and plus, her first name is much prettier. What is Dr. House like? All Ali will say is 'he's a great doctor.' We all already knew that. Try to have fun without Ali!

Dr. Sam Roberts

--------------------------------

Foreman read the letter over several times before he handed it to Chase.

"Is Sam a girl or a boy?"

"Foreman, if Sam was a boy, why would he use the words 'boy-ish' and 'prettier'. Probably stands for Samantha."

"What's this?" An all-too-familiar voice came from behind Chase, and the letter was snatched from his hands. "Ah, a letter from our dear Cameron – What's she been up to?" He was unusually cheery, yet still his sarcastic self.

"Uh… House? Have you been drinking?"

"What? That's just the kind of thing you would think isn't it. Well it is none of your British business."

"Australian. Not British." Chase corrected tiredly for the millionth time.

"To-MAY-to, to-MAH-to." House, letter in hand, limped into his office to read in peace.

--------------------------------

Cameron jumped when someone knocked on the tent. She looked outside to see Joe carrying a brown bag.

"Hey Ali. I went to get the mail. There's a letter for you." He rummaged through the bag and pulled out a small envelope. "Here you go. And here's Sam's mail too."

"Thanks"

"No problemo"

Allison read the letter. When she had opened it, she had thought it was from Wilson; her name on the front was in his handwriting. But as she read it she was close to tears. How could he do this to her? She was finally happy, and he could ruin that from halfway across the world.

Cameron, I'm not planning on sending it so it's not like you're going to read it. I should write all this, down though, since I'm never going to say it. I really like you Cameron, and when I said I didn't, well, everybody lies. Wilson is starting to suspect me of missing you. See, I can't even think of sarcastic remarks when I think of you. This sucks. Even Stacy can't make me feel quite this helpless. Look, will you just come home?

-House

--------------------------------

House paced as best he could in his office. Where was it? He had kept the letter safely in his desk, where he was sure no one would find it. He cursed loudly. Where the hell was it? Wilson appeared at the door.'

"Hey, Greg, you okay?"

"You!" he pointed accusingly. "You took it! You ass! You took it and you read it and you probably sent it too!"

"What are you talking about?"

"My letter! The one I was never going to send!"

"Right, that." House made a groaning sound before sitting down.

"Out!"

"House I'm sorry"

"Get out!"

"I'm-"

"Get the hell out of my office!" Wilson decided he wouldn't be able to win this argument.


A/N: I thought I should let you know that I won't be updating for a while. I'm going away for a few weeks to an internet-free area (why they exist I will never know). I'll update as soon as I gat home. Thanks for all the great reviews!
