Just an idea I had, hope you like it. Meant to be a bit of fun.
Cuddy sat in her office on the telephone. House stood outside and watched contently as she stared at him, apparently frustrated that he wasn't in the clinic and while she was on the phone there was nothing she could do about it. After House heard her say "Thank You" he thought it was the end of the conversation so he bolted so Cuddy couldn't tell him off for not being in the clinic if he was.
-------------------------
House sat in the clinic, staring at his Nintendo DS screen while another annoying patient sat and waited for him to treat their ailment of a runny nose. Cuddy walked into the room, looking rather frantic.
"Hello Dr Cuddy," House said cheerfully.
"Dr House, do you ever read your own mail or does Cameron always do it for you?" Cuddy asked, visibly annoyed.
"That would be the second option," House said, continuing to play his game and not look at Cuddy.
"Then that would explain the pile of letters gathering in your in-tray, and this," Cuddy said, showing House a letter that looked like any other.
"Chase is meant to answer my mail when Cameron is away, and Foreman to do it when both of them are away," House continued, not taking any notice of Cuddy's fuming face, "I must tell them the order of mail-readers."
"Chase doesn't know he is meant to be answering your mail?" Cuddy replied, now looking like she was going to burst.
"I wouldn't say he doesn't know, I would say not informed," House said, finally looking up at Cuddy annoyed after dying on his game.
"Read this!" she said, still waving the letter in House's face. House picked it out of her hands and it read the following;
Dear Doctor Gregory House on behalf of the Princeton Plainsborough Teaching Hospital,
We, Doctor Robert Chase's family from Australia would like to thank you for supporting him for the time he has worked for you by giving you a small gift to remember his country of origin, Australia. Please make sure you have space for it, as it is very valuable, a kangaroo.
Yours Sincerely,
Rod Chase, Uncle, on behalf of the Chase Family
"A Kangaroo!" Cuddy screamed hysterically, "We can't have a Kangaroo at the hospital!"
"Get Chase to wring them and tell them to keep it," House said calmly to the distress of Cuddy.
"That would be rude," Cuddy said, still frustrated.
"What does that word mean?" House said smirking, "give it too the zoo, or the Humane Society or something,"
"What would the zoo say if we turned up with a Kangaroo? And the Humane Society wouldn't like it either if a Hospital of all places turned up with a Kangaroo either," Cuddy continued.
"Ok then, I'll ask Chase to tell me what it eats and it can live in my office," House said looking back down at his DS. Still pulling her hair out, Cuddy stalked out of the room.
The patient sat there and stared at House, "Can I go now?" they squeaked.
