"Damn it, where is Cameron," House said.
"She is going to Australia with Chase," Katie giggled.
"WHAT? WHY DIDN'T I GET THE CALL!"
"Actually that should be her now," Ace said as the phone rang. Sure enough it was.
"House," answered House.
"Put her on speaker," said Kristen. He did.
"Um… Dr. House, I am going to take the next week off so I can…"
"Oh who called it!"
"Am I on speaker," asked Cameron.
"Yes," said House. "No you can't have the next week off."
"I'll do your clinic for a week…," No answer, "…a month…," Cameron asked. Still no answer from House. "Six weeks?"
"Deal," said House, and he hung up.
"Dumb ass, you could have gotten another month out of her."
"You like Cameron," said House.
"And she likes clinic," Ace stated as if was most obvious.
"See," said Cameron, turning to Chase, "that wasn't hard." Chase rolled his eyes.
"Allison Cameron to platform 729 desk," said a voice over the loud speaker.
When she got to the desk, the woman working told her a man had just called in to dropped his seat. Turns out she would be sitting behind Chase. Cameron smiled and thanked the lady and went back to Chase, sitting in the waiting area. (They are at Newark airport, by the way)
An hour later, Cameron and Chase walked on to the plane. After coordinating with a family with two small children, Cameron and Chase were able to sit next to each other.
SOME HOURS LATER
Chase was beginning to doze off, and Cameron was already asleep. (They have switched flights already) She had made herself comfortable by resting on Chase. Chase leaned back in his chair. He started thinking about the events of the last few days. Wolf being hired. Those three girls came in to the hospital. They looked at him once and knew he was in love with Cameron. Then they said Cameron "liked him back." After a few awkward silences, Ace, Katie, and Kristen began to fit in with the group of doctors, as weird as it seemed. Then he received that phone call.
Flashback
"Dr. Chase?"
"Speaking."
"Dr. Chase we have some unfortunate news, your father has passed away oflung cancer."
"What, I just saw him a few months do, he was fine…"
"I'm terribly sorry."
End Flashback
Chase remembered hanging up the phone. He had called House requesting the time off. House reluctantly agreed, and he got a plane ticket for two days later.
Then Cameron showed up. She said she would go to Australia with him. House let her off in about two seconds. 'I guess we can thank those girls' he thought. He looked at the sleeping Cameron and smiled.
