Chase had gotten up, frowning as he paced the corridors, not having anything else to do. He was up to date on his clinic duty and there were no patients to treat; the only one had now been snapped up Cameron. Not that he resented that fact; he wasn't in the mood to be dealing with that family anymore. Once had been enough, but he still wanted something to do.
"Hey Chase," he cringed as Foreman came up to him and wondered if he should fake a page. He didn't know what the conversation would be but he would either guess that it would mean him getting berated or ridiculed. He decided that it would look too convenient if he got a page right then so he held off his plan, at least for a couple of minutes. "Heard you went crazy."
"I didn't go crazy."
"But you did shout at a patient?"
"Well it was mainly his family," Chase mumbled, wanting to avoid the smile that was now plastered on Foreman's face.
"That's hilarious. I can't imagine you shouting at anyone… well, except for us a couple of times."
"It wasn't funny."
"Hell; all I'm saying is that I wish I'd been there."
"It wasn't funny!" He repeated himself, feeling annoyed at Foreman's smug face. "Stop it!"
"Stop what?"
"Laughing at me."
"I'm not laughing at you." Even saying so made Foreman laugh slightly, trying to discard it as a cough.
"See."
"So what made you snap?"
"I didn't snap."
"Fine, what made you raise your voice slightly?"
"They were disagreeing with me."
"That's it? Patient's disagree with us all the time."
"The kid's tests were positive for drugs and the parent's wouldn't believe me. And then they said that they wanted an American doctor! What was I supposed to do, just stand there and take it from them?"
"Yeah, you were." He smiled at himself, "anyway, I still have patients. Why don't you go and spend some spare time playing gameboy."
Chase called after Foreman's retreating frame. "I'm not turning into House!" His only response was for Foreman to resist holding in his laughs any further. "I'm not turning into House," he muttered to himself, "I can't be."
A/N: Well I've reached the half-way point of the story so I wanted to thank everyone who has reviewed.
