Friday 21st, finally the ball...

"Come on, Elsa!! Cuddy & Wilson are about to arrive" House yelled from the living room. "Damn cufflink"

"We are not late, don't worry" Elsa said as she exited her bedroom.

"Whoa! You look so beautiful!!"

"You like it?" She said as she made a spin. Elsa was wearing long red strapless dress, that let her back bare, she hardly was wearing make up and she had waved her hair a little bit.

"You look stunning"

"Do you mind?" Elsa wanted House to lock her necklace.

"I recognize this necklace" Elsa smiled.

"Your father gave it to your mother the day you were born, it fits you perfectly"

"Thanks. Let me help you with the cufflink or at the end, you'll hurt yourself"

"Well, how do I look?" And he posed.

"Like a prince" Elsa said. Now, House proceeded to tie his bow tie.

"Let me, you are too nervous to do it"

"I'm not nervous" He said dryly.

"Then why are you trembling?" House let go a nervous chuckle. "Everything will be fine"

Beep, beep...

"That must be Cuddy & Wilson" House said.

"Let me take my purse"

"You remember all we said?"

"I do, you got it all?"

"Yep" Then House took Elsa's hand and kissed it. "Thank You"

"Let's go!"

House let Elsa took his arm and left the apartment and on the way to the car...

"Look at him! Dr. House in a tux!!"

"Please, Wilson, what did you expect?" House opened the car's door for Elsa.

"Oh My God!! And he's been a gentleman. Elsa, what have you done to him?"

"Relax, Wilson" House said and entered the car.

"Elsa, you look beautiful, honey" Cuddy said.

"Thanks, you too" Lisa Cuddy was wearing a long blue velvet V dress, and her hair was loose and waving"

"Can we go?" Wilson said impatiently.

"Yep, but we'll have to do a stop in our way"

"Where?"

"Cameron's apartment"

Cuddy took a look at the rear-view mirror and Elsa winked her. Once in front of Cameron's apartment...

"I'll be back in a minute" House said as he exited the car. Once he closed the car's door, all eyes turned to Elsa.

"What's going on here?" Wilson said.

"Come on, spill it, Elsa!"

"Just wait and see yourselves"

And all three turned their attention to House who was in front of Cameron's door.

"Hi Ally!"

"Hiya!"

"You ready?" Allison nodded and gave him a look from head to toe.

"What?"

"Nothing" She smiled shyly"I, I'd like to kiss you but I'll stain you with lipstick"

"Don't hold yourself! Kiss me, baby!" House grabbed her waist and approached her to his lips. When they broke the kiss...

"Yummy, strawberry flavour. I like it" Cameron blushed.

"You look very handsome in a tux" She said while she was cleaning with her finger the remains of her lipstick from House's lips.

"You look stunning too. Shall we?" House said and offered his arm to her.

Meanwhile in the car...

"OH MY GOD!" Wilson & Cuddy said in unison. Elsa couldn't hold her smile while thinking that the evening had just started.

A minute later, Cameron was entering the SUV, closely followed by House.

"Hi everybody!" Cameron said

"Hey! You look great!!!" Elsa said. Allison Cameron was wearing a long pale pink strapless dress with a pale pink foulard embracing her neck, not too many make up, hair curled and wearing her mom's earrings.

"Do we have to do any other stop, Dr. House?" Wilson said grinning.

"Just drive!"

Five minutes later, all five arrived at the PPTH...

"You ready?" House whispered to Cameron's ear. She smiled and nodded.

House was the first in jumping off the car and he helped Cameron and Elsa. Then, House took Allison's hand and gave his other arm to Elsa.

"I gotta say that tonight I'm the luckiest man of the world. Two beauties at each side of me. Look at them, look!! They are jealous!"

"Oh, shut up, Greg!" Cameron said as she squeezed his hand tightly.

As they entered to the hospital, all eyes were set on them. Elsa wanted to give them protagonism.

"I'm gonna check the latest details of everything, ok?"

"Ok!" House said

"I'll see you at dinner"

After a few talking with Chase and Foreman who couldn't still believe that House and Cameron were actually a couple, Cuddy & Wilson joined them. Everybody already knew about Wilson & Cuddy.

"Hey, wombat, don't hold your breath any longer. I don't wanna work tonight"

"So, how long you've been together?" Foreman asked.

"Since the day I hired her"

"What?" Chase said

"No, officially almost two months but in our minds" Now she was looking at House " since the day he hired me"

"We were idiots!"

"That's great, I'm so happy for you, guys" Foreman said.

"Yeah, you make a nice couple" Chase said.

"Well, I think we should get going to our sits" Wilson said.

"I'll be right back" Cuddy said.

Everybody went to their sits and Elsa also joined them. The rounded table was composed by Foreman's girlfriend, Kate, Foreman, Cameron, House, Elsa, Wilson, Cuddy and Chase. Lisa Cuddy went to stage and grabbed the microphone.

"Good evening everybody!" But people kept talking "Hello?"

All of the sudden, Wilson stood up and did a loud whistle. Then everybody stopped.

"Good, Jimmy-boy!!" House said

"It was about time you shut up, your Dean of Medicine wants to speak, show her some respect" Wilson continued and everybody on the Diagnostics table started to laugh.

"Thank you, Dr. Wilson" Cuddy said and Wilson sat again. "As I was saying, good evening everybody, thank you for joining us in our annual charity ball. As you know, all the money raised today will be for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, which works together with our hospital. You have a pink ring next to your glasses, put it on, please"

"I'm not wearing a pink ring!" Dr. Anderson from neurosurgery, who was sit behind House said.

"Anderson, you wear the ring, damn it!" House replied

"This year, the ball has been in charge of the Diagnostics section: Dr. Allison Cameron & Dr. Elsa House took care of the whole beautiful decoration and distribution, Dr. Robert Chase & Dr. Eric Foreman took care of the exquisite meal and Dr. Gregory House, yeah, yeah, you heard it right"

"Knock it off, Cuddy" House yelled

"He promised me a night full of jazz. I don't know how he did it but we'll have the pleasure of enjoying the music and the company of the great Diana Krall & Norah Jones". Cuddy continued and everybody started to get excited.

"You're the man, House!!" Dr. Roberts shouted.

"You doubted it?" House replied

"Oh My God, Greg!! How..?" Cameron said

"That's a secret" House winked her, then Elsa leaned to House

"Peter, right?" Elsa said

"He owed me a favour"

"Well done!!"

"So, ladies and gentleman, enjoy your night! Thank you very much!!" Cuddy concluded and everybody started to clap
