I don't own the characters of House and Doctor Who… David Shore and Russell Davis own these characters. However; I own the story itself.

In a phone booth time machine known as the tardis, Amy Pond and the Doctor were on their way back from the past coming in contact with the Daleks during World War II. Since Winston Churchill needed him, he went to save the day, but still the Daleks won. While the Doctor was fixing something, Amy gave a big groan and bent over.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts." Amy said.
"Did you eat anything before we left?" The Doctor asked.
Amy nodded "no."
"Well, then we got to get you something to eat." The Doctor said.
After a few seconds, the Doctor turned around to continue what he was working on, and then he heard a big "Plop!" The Doctor now panicking runs to try and wake her up. After a few minutes, the Doctor gives up and turns the Tardis around and set the course for Earth. Not England, but New Jersey. (Nobody knows why.)
At Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, House was fighting with Wilson about Wilson's first ex-wife and the fact that he's dating her again. Wilson is thinking asking House to move out.
"House, you feed on situations and gossip like this!" Wilson exclaimed.
"I like messing around in your personal life, not that you have a personal life." House said.
House walked into his office to find a file on his desk. He hears another person walk in besides Wilson.
"You like puzzles, don't you House?" Cuddy asked rhetorically.
House opens the beige file folder while throwing his red and yellow ball up and down.
As Forman, Chase, Thirteen, and Taub walk into House's office, House bolts out the same way they came in leaving all four of them confused.
"What was that?" Taub asked.
"House got an interesting case." Forman said.
House later walked into Amy's room. There he sees a guy with brown hair, wearing a tweed jacket, brown pants with suspenders and a red bowtie. House focused on the bow tie more.
"Okay, so it says here that you time travel." House said.
"Yes, actually I do, I travel in a phone booth." The Doctor said.
"A phone booth?" House asked displeased. "You've got to be ridiculous."
"He actually does travel in a phone booth." Amy said.
Wilson then runs in. He tries to tell House about a phone booth sitting by his office. Wilson was walking into his office when he almost missed the phone booth just sitting there abandoned.
"House, there is a random phone booth outside my office." Wilson said.
House turns to the Doctor who was smiling.
"Is that your phone booth?" House asked.
"Yes." The Doctor said.
Then Amy's monitor goes all weird.
"I… Can't… BREATHE!... Amy said gasping after every word.
Taub and Chase run in and immediately try to help her. Chase sticks huge needle into Amy's chest. She can breathe again. It was silent for a moment. Wilson, who was barefoot, was still curious.
"Why is there a phone booth outside my office?" "Wilson asked "House, is this one of your schemes?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." House said. 'My question is why are you barefoot?"
"I ran over here." Wilson said.
Amy was still lying on her bed, was still curious about her diagnosis.
"EXCUSE ME!" Amy shouted. "I wanted to know what's wrong with me. You guys are doctors, aren't you?"
"I don't have a diagnosis yet." House said turning away. "Team, let's move out!"
All the doctors leave except Wilson. Wilson was still curious on who this guy was.
"Sorry, I didn't catch your name." Wilson said.
"The Doctor." The Doctor said.
"Oh, what's your practice?" Wilson asked curiously.
"Wait… I'm not a medic, I'm the Doctor." The Doctor said emphasizing his name.
"Yeah… and I repeat my question." Wilson said.
The Doctor was really frustrated with Wilson… the fact that he can't get his name right. He felt like he wanted to slap him, but he kept it in. The Doctor just then gave up.
"I'm a Time Lord, the only one of my kind that is still living." The Doctor said calming down.
"Time Lord, wow that's has to be the cheesiest line I've ever heard," Wilson said trying not to laugh.
Wilson then leaves the room, leaving Amy and the Doctor alone. The Doctor takes a look at Amy to see if she's awake, he sees that she's not so he follows Wilson to House's office.
In House's office, the team was trying to figure out what to do next because they added a new symptom and they were sitting like deer in the headlights.
"Maybe she ate some bad food." Thirteen suggested.
"That doesn't cause a lung to collapse!" Chase said correcting Thirteen.
There was an awkward silence for a moment.
"Maybe it's lupus?" Chase suggested continuing.
"Dude, it's never lupus!' House said.
"Maybe she went somewhere with a lot of disease?" Taub asked "They did say they time travel."
"Yeah, they did say that, it's the fact that it isn't possible in this generation is what makes it really ridiculous." House said. "But still, we can't rule out time travel, go see where in the past she's been."
The whole team stood up and walked out to go treat the patient with what they thought was the diagnosis. The doctor walks into House's office as the team leave the room.
"What do you want?" House asked rhetorically.
"I'm just browsing through the hospital." The Doctor said.
"Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?" House asked.
The Doctor seemed shocked.
"What! have seen the way she looks at you, plus I've also seen the way you look at her." House said.
"What! She's not that my girlfriend, she's my … how do you say it…; the Doctor stopped and I tried to figure out how to explain this situation to House, who was in fact disinterested.
"She's my companion." The Doctor said.
"That's the same thing!" House said with a: I-want-to punch-you in-the-face look.
"No, that's not the same thing." The Doctor said trying to explain to him. "Companions are just people who just hang out with you while you explore the universe, lovers are different."
It was silent again, House was thinking of what to say to the comment.
"How is that different?" House asked.
"I'd have to show you for proof, but I will have to take some time." The Doctor said. "Besides, I would have to advise you to take some year off your life; I tend to jump from the future to the past and so on and so forth."
"Doctor, are actually trying to considering taking him in to time and space?" Amy said shocked as hell.
"Yes, Amy I am." The Doctor said with a calm voice, but very doubting his intentions about the situation.
"I'd have to subtract year off my life just to prove a point?" House asked.
House was considering The Doctor's proposal, considering all that he's been through the result is pretty much screaming GO WITH HIM!
"No, I can't go, first of all it seems too weird, and second, do I have to get shot's for that?" House said still considering it.
"What on earth are you talking about?" the Doctor asked confused. "It's space for Christ's sake!"
Amy's monitor beeped again. This time she was having a seizure.
"There we go, that's what I was waiting for." House said. "It was weird, talking to you."
As House walked out, the Doctor ran after him. He really wanted to get a diagnosis and fast before Amy dies. Sometimes the Doctor was an impatient man and sometimes grumpy, but with Amy's life on the line… he does all he can to save his dear friend and companion.
"Why are you just walking away?" the Doctor asked.
House turned around as he heard his voice.
"I'm walking away, so I can finally solve your friend's case." House said.
House the turned back again and walked away heading toward the elevator. House waits for the elevator and turns his head on last time to see the Doctor running toward him. The elevator doors open, House walks inside and the presses the button to close the doors. The Doctor runs up and puts his hand between the doors to prevent them from shutting and he walks and stands next to House.
"Why do you keep following me?" House asked.
The Doctor still faced the elevator doors with a frightened, but concerned look on his face.
"I just want a solid answer, is Amy Pond going to be all right?" The Doctor asked concerned of his friend.
"No." House said honestly. "Not until we find out what's killing her."
It was rare for House to feel sympathy towards a patient let alone the patient's friend or "companion." The Doctor and House arrive at House's office, the Doctor wants to talk to House more, but knows he has to work. As they both walk in, they are greeted by Chase, Thirteen, and Forman with no sign of Taub.
"Where is Taub?" House asked uninterested.
"Taub had to take a personal day." Thirteen said trying to dismiss the topic.
Since House wasn't really interested in why Taub wasn't in work today, House had an idea. He would let the Doctor sit in for Taub and act like he knows what he's doing. This is a rare thing for House; oddly House liked the Doctor and his weirdness. The Doctor is like a puzzle that he desperately wants to figure out, but can't, so he tries to get along with him. House walks to his desk and grabs his read and green giant tennis ball and throws it up and down.
"Do you want to sit in and hear the diferentials?" House asked.
After hearing this, Forman and Chase's jaw dropped and Thirteen was in shock. Forman and Chase knew why House was being nice the Doctor; because he like a walking, living puzzle.
"House, he doesn't have a medical license." Forman said stating the obvious.
"I know that… he wants to know what's wrong with his friend." House commented trying to come up with an excuse.
"Forman's right House." Chase piped in trying to defend Forman. "He doesn't have a medical license and you need a medical license to practice medicine."
"But he's The Doctor." House said making another excuse.
The Doctor was pleased and flattered that House asked. He sensed that House might have been a jerk… which he was, but jerks can truly become your friends or just plain nice once in a while. The Doctor was reminiscing about his home planet… and the fact that he's the only Time Lord out there now. He feels alone sometimes which is why he has companions.
"I'd love to stay and sit in for your colleague." The blue-eyed British Time Lord said.
"Great, that's settled… let's get to work." House said.
They all sat down and got to work.
