Hey everyone! So my friend CassandraDarling [who is awesome and you should check out her stories .net/~cassandradarling] and I decided to co-author a story - a House/Grey's crossover!

This takes place during House Season 4, before Wilson/Amber and during Grey's Season 4 as well, but Meredith and Derek are not together, Addison is still around, and Callie has already... changed.

Disclaimer - We don't own House or Grey's.

So, as always, read, review(pleasee :]), and enjoy!


House impatiently tapped his cane against the leg of the table, loathing the meeting that he was unwillingly dragged to. If Wilson wasn't his best friend, he would have been hiding in an exam room watching one of his soap operas.

"What the hell is this about?" House seethed to Wilson, who was sitting on his left. The hospital hadn't used the conference room for years, and now the entire hospital body was crammed into the room, awaiting Cuddy to stand up and address them all.

"You'll want to hear," Wilson said calmly, picking up his jacket off the two chairs as Cameron and Chase weaved their way through the crowd to sit by them.

"Thanks Wilson," Chase said as they sat.

"You know what this is about?" Cameron asked, leaning over Chase to talk to the young oncologist. Wilson didn't say anything, choosing to remain quiet as Cuddy took the podium, tapping the microphone.

"Good morning, everyone. I have two pieces of news that I am going to share with you today," Cuddy said with a smile on her face, but her expression read official business. "I have been on the phone with Seattle Grace Hospital for almost two weeks now. As you know, due to an electric short circuit, a fire broke out over the surgical, OB/GYN, and plastic surgery units of the hospital. While most of the doctors were transferred to Mercy West and Seattle Presbyterian, and PPTH being short-staffed these days, I have invited four of their attendings, two residents, and their interns to be a part of this staff. And if all goes as planned, I will be offering them all full time positions." Cuddy explained to the shocked New Jersey doctors. She took another deep breath before delivering her second piece of news. "But I have already awarded one position, a very special position – please welcome our new Chief of Surgery, Dr. Richard Webber!" Cuddy said, stepping aside to let the older man take the podium.

"She's joking, right? She's obviously joking – no Dean of Medicine in his or her right mind would so nonchalantly invite a dozen doctors to stay – not even doctors, interns," House spat, tuning the Chief out to rant to Wilson.

"She knows what she's doing," Wilson said out of the corner of his mouth, eager to pay attention. The last he had heard, she was in Seattle, chasing after her husband. He silently cursed himself for not heading to New York to see her the second after Derek had left. Something had always held him back, and Wilson wasn't sure if it was the emotion of seeing her again after so long, or the terror that she hadn't been carrying the same torch that he had since high school.


Meredith Grey was in a packing frenzy – she had less then 4 hours to pack up most of her belongings and head to the airport so that she could move to an apartment in New Jersey that she was sharing with four of her friends.

"That's why you should have packed a week ago," Cristina said smugly, as she flipped through a magazine lying down on Meredith's bed.

"Shut up," Meredith groaned, throwing clothes into suitcases, not caring if anything matched. "I just can't wrap my head around it," Meredith complained from the bathroom as she packed away her toiletries. "I mean, the hospital had a fire, we haven't been working for two weeks now, and now this hospital in New Jersey is just offering us jobs, like that?" Meredith asked, snapping her fingers as she sat next to Cristina.

"I know what you mean – I really need to cut something," Cristina said, flexing her fingers. "And Dr. Cuddy didn't offer us jobs – she offered our attendings and residents jobs – which means we go with them." Meredith groaned – it was enough that her ex-boyfriend was her attending, but she was heading to a new hospital, which means she had little to no backup, or any good hiding spots.

"Did you know that Dr. House works in that hospital?" Cristina mentioned and Meredith dropped her shoes on the ground.

"What? No way," Meredith said, amazed. "We're going to be working in a hospital with Dr. House?" Her eyes twinkled at the thought of being in such close quarters with the brilliant, handsome doctor.

"If Burke wasn't going…," Cristina wondered, her eyes twinkling at the thought. Meredith picked up her pillow and smacked her on the head with it.

"What is with you and authority figures?" Meredith giggled and Cristina shrugged, a smile spreading over her face.
