Hello my dear readers!

Here it is! The first chapter of my Cuddy/10th Doctor crossover :D
I started watching Doctor Who about 3 months ago and I totally fell in love with the 10th doctor. So I decided to take my fave medical Doctor and my fave Alien Doctor and write a fanfic about them xD

Even though my main focus is on Cuddy and 10 this is a Huddy story and Donna sure will get meantioned a few times as well.

In the House universe the fic is set after "Joy" and in the Who universe its set after the Doctor loses Donna.

Thanks a lot to Jane (LEfan77) for beta reading :D

Great!

This was just what she needed! Another problem to take care of.

Like she didn't already have enough crap to deal with.

First Dr. Williams broke the new ultrasound scanner, then the head of the pharmacy informed her that the pharmaceutical company delivered the wrong meds and sent the meds they actually needed to Princeton Mercy and the cherry on top was that nurse Stella slipped on the urine of a patient which was on the floor due to a dripping catheter and broke her leg.

So she had figured out where to take money for a new ultrasound scanner from, she had informed Mercy and the pharmaceutical company about the wrong meds and had arranged it that the right meds would be delivered tomorrow and – after various phone calls – she had found a stand in for Stella.

Compared to all that, the problem she had now should be solved in a minute.

"Gordon?" She entered her outer office where her assistant had his desk.

He looked up from the computer and was face to face with his boss. "Yes, Dr. Cuddy?"

"Why is there a phone box standing in front of the hospital?"

"I beg your pardon?"

"There is a blue phone box standing in front of the hospital blocking the handicapped parking. I wanna know why."

"A phone box?" Gordon asked and looked at her as if she had gone nuts.

"Yes, indeed… a blue phone box… in the handicapped parking." She sounded a little annoyed.

"I'm sorry but I don't know anything about said phone box, Dr. Cuddy."

"Then this is probably another one of House's sick pranks to annoy me." She let out a sigh.

She hadn't seen or spoken to him all day. He had phoned her two times but she hadn't picked up. She had been too busy dealing with administrator stuff. Now he apparently felt left out and wanted to get her attention by playing a stupid, annoying prank on her.

"If you want to I can have it removed."

"Oh no. If he put this stupid phone box there than he will be the one to remove it again."

"Do you want me to call Dr. House and tell him to come down?"

"No, it's fine. I will take care of it myself." She said and made her way out of the office.

"I'd hide if I were House." Gordon thought to himself and grinned.

The House/Cuddy fights were the highlight of his day. It was like watching a romantic comedy when you know from the start that the two main characters will end up together eventually.

House was nowhere to be found.

Of course.

This was just another proof for her that it was indeed him who had put that phone box in front of the hospital.

Ever since they had kissed he had played one prank on her after another and as much as Cuddy wanted to deny it, in a weird way she kinda enjoyed it and at the same time she was also annoyed by it. Annoyed of the game they had played for 20 years now.

She could actually just head back into her office and continue solving all the problems that had appeared today and let someone else go and remove the box. It wouldn't be a big deal at all and it would save her a lot of time but she just was too curious.

House's pranks tended to be crazy, sometimes even insane but they were never boring.

Cuddy passed the nurses station in the entrance lobby and headed to the exit.

What purpose – other than annoying her – had this box? Did he pay a stripper or a male prostitute to hide inside? Or maybe House himself was hiding in there and was waiting for her to open up the door so he could scare the crap out of her?

When it came to House she just had to reckon with everything.

The air outside was cold. She wrapped her arms around herself as she approached the phone box.

She observed the item. It had something. It looked classy.

It had a sign on it that read: "Police Telephone. Free for use of public. Advice & assistance obtainable immediately. Officers & cars respond to all calls. Pull to open."

So she pulled. And pulled. And pulled. But nothing. She tried to push as well but the door obviously was locked.

Was this already it? The prank was just the phone box on the handicapped parking spot? Nothing else? Or did he expect her to break into the box? But he should know that she wouldn't do that.

She reached for the handgrip again and tried to pull the door open once more. But it was still closed.

So this really was it? This was the whole prank? There was nothing more to come? Really?

Cuddy was a little disappointed. She had expected more creativity from him.

She turned around to go back into the hospital to get someone to remove the box when she suddenly heard a noise.

It sounded like steps… coming from the box in front of her.

Before she could even realise what was going on, the door of the box opened up and she found herself in front of a thin but very handsome man.

He was dressed in a brown suit with white stripes. Beneath he was wearing a white shirt and a tie was tied around his neck.

"Hello." He said in a British accent with a goofy smile on his face.

"Hi." Cuddy said a little dumbfounded.

"Did you try to open up that door?" He wanted to know and pointed with his thumb over his shoulder to the box.

"Eh… Yes."

"Good… I thought those sticky Martian creatures followed me down here."

"Martian creatures…" She laughed out. "… right. You should tell House that his pranks are getting old."

"Who is House?"

"Don't play that card on me… I know exactly what you are doing here."

"That's good because I actually have no clue why the TARDIS brought me here."

"TARDIS?" She raised an eyebrow and looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Yeah... that's the beauty behind me." He said as if it was the most normal thing in the entire world that he named his phone box and that he was referring to it as "beauty".

"What did House pay you to say all this crap?"

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't play dumb! I know he put you up to this!"

"Put me up to what?"

"To this! To put this stupid phone box in the handicapped parking and to annoy me with talk about sticky Martian creatures."

"I'm sorry did you just call my phone box 'stupid'?"

"Yes, I did."

"That's not very nice of you."

"It's not nice to take money to fool someone either."

"I'm think there might be a misunderstanding here."

"Oh really?" She said in a loud, annoyed voice that clearly showed that she didn't believe a word he said.

"Yes... Or do you think that man you are talking about really put me up to this." He said as he opened up the door of his "TARDIS" and stepped to the side so the furious, pretty lady can take a look inside the box.

Cuddy removed her eyes from the man and looked inside.

As soon as her brain realized what her eyes were looking at her mouth fell open.

THIS. COULD. NOT. BE. REAL... NO WAY COULD THIS BE REAL!

This was a trick... or a dream... It was the ONLY explanation for it!

"W... What?..." Was all Cuddy managed to say at this moment.

"TARDIS is short for time and relative dimensions in space." The man explained. "She is my spaceship."

Cuddy couldn't tear her eyes away from what she saw. She couldn't believe it! This had to be a trick!

She made a step forward and tentatively entered the box. She outstretched her arm but the walls were meters away.

She turned around, outstretched her arm again and met nothing but air.

How was this possible?! How could a phone box be bigger on the inside?!

"It's pretty cool, huh?" The man behind her said with a smile.

Cuddy turned to him. She was completely confused and overwhelmed. "Who the hell are you?!"

"I'm the Doctor." He reached out his right hand to shake hers. "And you?"

She completely ignored his question as well as his hand. "Doctor who?"

"Just the doctor."

"What doctor?! What's your specialty?"

"Aliens."

"Are you sure you are not a fugitive of the psych department?"

"If I were then you would be one as well... We both stand inside a phone box that's bigger on the inside, right?"

"This isn't real... It can't be real." She said it more to convince herself than to make an actual statement as she kept looking around.

"It is."

"It doesn't look like a space ship."

"How many space ships have you seen before?" He asked as he made his way over to the middle of the TARDIS.

With that he was right. What did she know about space ships? Well…one hour ago she thought she knew everything about them, namely that no space ships existed outside of movies and TV series.

"Prove it to me." Cuddy suddenly said. Her voice was much more confident now than just a few moments ago.

"What?"

"Nowadays you can do pretty much anything with technology… Prove to me that this is not some sort of new 3D stuff… Prove to me that this is a real space ship."

He looked at her and smiled. He liked this woman… She was cheeky… and witty. He loved witty. She reminded him a bit of Donna…

"Where do you wanna go?" His question was her answer.

She thought about it for a few moments. When an idea hit her she said: "Time and Relative dimensions in Space… This means this thing is some sort of a time machine, right?"

"She travels in time and space." He confirmed.

"Ok… Then I wanna go back to 1992… To Boston."

The man pressed a few buttons on "whatever the thing in the middle of the Tardis is called" and then turned to her. "Ready to go?"

She swallowed. She had no clue what she was doing. She should have left this weird box as soon as she had entered it… But despite all her doubts she answered with a pretty confident "yes" anyway.

His lips went up into a giant smile. He gripped a big switch and flipped it and shouted enthusiastically: "Allons-y!"
