First off, my apologies. I have been revamping everything. Please don't give up on me, I admit I made lots of silly mistakes. ISome things I can't really change any more, but I will start taking the suggestions people gave to heart on the next chapters. Kapeesh?

MADDIE

Maddie was in the lab with Foreman. She had just gotten there with the blood samples. She handed them to Foreman, blushing when their hands momentarily touched. "Dammit, what's wrong with me?"

They ran the tests, Foreman checking for lupus and Maddie checking for Lyme's. It was, of course, neither.

"What a surprise," Foreman muttered sarcastically.

"So it really isn't ever lupus, is it?" asked Maddie, if nothing else than to talk to him.

Foreman just looked up and smiled.

CAMERON

Sarah and Cameron had arrived at the patient's home. They entered the kitchen. Cameron was checking the fridge. She placed a bottle of expired milk into her bag.

"You like him, don't you," Sarah suddenly asked.

"Who?" asked a blushing Cameron.

"Chase."

Cameron stayed silent.

"Do I like him?"

"You do. Trust me. I can see relationships coming. I know long before anyone else." Sarah patted Cameron on the shoulder.

HOUSE

House quietly stared at the board. Maddie and Foreman walked in.

"Tests were negative," Foreman stated.

At that moment, Cameron and Sarah walked in.

"All we found was some expired milk and a couple bottles of aspirin and Nyquil." Cameron said.

"Hep. C," Sarah blinked. "It fits everything."

"Go run the tests," House demanded.

Sarah raised her eyebrow. "Make someone else do it."

"No! I asked you."

"Screw you."

"I'll go do it," Cameron volunteered, hoping to avoid further conflict. She left the room.

To everyone's surprise, so did House.

House entered Cuddy's office a few moments later. She glanced up from her desk in surprise.

"Cuddy," House said.

"What is it now, House?"

"I just wanted to say those kangaroos really are kind of useful."

Cuddy seemed suspicious.

House left, a smirk plastered on his face.

CHASE

Chase was just about to leave when Cameron grabbed his shoulder.

"Chase, would you like to come get a drink?" Cameron asked.

"Er - sure." Chase was confused. "Doesn't Cameron hate me?"

"Great," she replied. "I'll drive," she added hastily.

Arriving at a small bar, they sat down and ordered some beers. After drinking and chatting for a while, they both felt pleasantly buzzed. They walked out to the car and Cameron put the keys in the ignition.

"Are you sure we should drive?" Chase asked.

"We'll be fine."

Fortunately, they were. They pulled into Cameron's driveway.

"I'm too sleepy to drive to your house. Can you stand the sofa?"

"Of course," Chase replied.

They entered Cameron's home. It was small, but cozy. Pictures were hung up on the wall. The bookshelves were full. Cameron brought a blanket and gave it to Chase. He smiled.

"Night."

"Good night."

Cameron headed into her bedroom and closed the door to change.

MADDIE

Maddie could not sleep. At all. She lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling in despair. She didn't understand it. "I just met the guy, yet here I am obsessing over him." Maddie slapped herself mentally. Finally, at 1 a.m., she managed to drift off into an uneasy sleep.

Oh my, drama drama. Relationships being introduced? Yes. Will they all grow immediatley in my story? No.
