A/N: Wilson is from somewhere in S7, but no-one matches up to his expectations.

Chapter one, in which Wilson is mystified by the powers of a good nap...

Wilson jolted awake, roused by some noise that he couldn't place. He had dozed off while doing paperwork in his office and his back ached from the uncomfortable position he'd slumped into. He wearily pulled his eyes back to his paperwork when a knock came at the door.

"Come in," he called and looked up to see none other than Allison Cameron. "Wh-what are you doing here?" he asked, completely stunned.

"Um... House needs an oncology consult." She seemed surprised at his question. "You're an oncologist."

"Yeah." He frowned. "But you left here over a year ago! You divorced Chase! You said you were going somewhere in Arizona, right? Did Cuddy re-hire you or something?" He stopped at the evident confusion on her face.

"What are you talking about, Wilson?"

"You are Dr Allison Cameron?" She nodded. "Well, I've not gone crazy, then!" He laughed, but stopped himself. She looked very worried. And now he came to think of it, she didn't look right. She had her natural brown hair, but looked older than when he last saw her like that.

"Who did you think I was?" she asked carefully.

Wilson frowned. Had he dreamt the last five or so years?

"Wilson! Are you ok?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure I am."

"Do you feel sick, disorientated, dizzy perhaps?"
He thought for a moment.

"No but there's something not quite right. I can't put my finger on it though. It almost feels like I haven't properly woken up from a dream."

"Ok." Cameron still looked worried. "You didn't seem to recognise me just then."

"Yeah. I must've had a really strange dream. You'll laugh at me when I say this, but it feels like... well, it feels as though I dreamed the future!"

"Right, well I can prove the date to you, then you'll know it wasn't a dream."

"Go on then."

"It's the 1st of November, 2010." She showed him the date on her phone and then indicated his desk calendar. They both showed the same date.

"See?"

"But... but... I don't understand! You're the Cameron I know from five years ago! I remember you looking like this in 2005! This is crazy, what the hell is going on?"
