When House hired his team Chase was one of the first he'd chosen. The blonde Australian had been hired strictly off of a recommendation from his own father, and it wasn't difficult to discover what Chase was like. He was a total kiss ass that believed anything House said, sure Chase was brilliant but honestly House was pretty sure that if he told Chase Christmas came in July the Aussie would be excitedly awaiting the arrival of Santa Clause. However when this strange girl pops up out of nowhere claiming to have been Chase's best-friend since they were sixteen year-sold he is instantly intrigued.

"Look it's his birthday, and I know he'll be totally pissed at me for showing up here I just wanted to be able to give him his birthday video" She asks hopefully with the barest of pouts.

"Birthday Video?" House questions sarcasm mixed in with his own confusion. She flashes him a breathtakingly beautiful smile that honestly wasn't needed because there was no way House could pass up an opportunity like this.

"Please" now she's giving him a puppy-dog look, and House wordlessly grabs the disk out of her hand. She lets out an excited squeal and hugs House tightly around his shoulders. "Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you! You won't even know I'm here." and she bounces (literally) to the back of the room where she stands quietly.

House is ready to not-so-nicely boot the strange Kayley girl out of the room, but then his team arrives and Chase's reaction to the girl is so comical it almost hurts. He stares at her for a long moment his mouth agape a horrified look in his eyes.

"What the hell are you doing here" Chase hisses quietly but there's no point in trying to be quiet because they already have the attention of everyone in the room.

"Well hello to you to" she rolls her eyes and is suddenly sarcastic the exact opposite of the bouncy girl House just had the conversation with.

"You can't be here" Chase's voice is frantic and nearing panicking

"Really cause it looks like I am" Kayley says sardonically

"You are leaving right now" Chase says making an angry highly offensive gesture towards the door

"No I am not" she replies

"Yes you are" Chase snaps

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am not"

Are too"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

They both stood glaring daggers at each other panting slightly from their argument, they had reached a standstill in there argument and no one dared move much less breathe.

"You know what it's my birthday so I win" Chase immaturely points out sticking his tongue out at Kayley

"Yeah that's mature" Kayley responds sorely

"I'm pretty I don't have to be mature" Chase replies smoothly a large grin makes it's was onto his face.

The entire room is silent and watching no one has ever seen this side of Chase before.

"I'm prettier" Kayley cries pouting

"I'm prettiest" Chase yells

"Well I'm prettiester" Kayley is now sticking out her tongue at Chase

"Prettiester is not a word" Chase points out

"Your not a word" Kayley cries angrily

"That doesn't make any sense" Chase almost sounds like he's whining

"Ha, I'm pretty I don't have to make sense"

Chase is ready with a comeback but House slams his cane loudly down on the table effectively bringing the attention of everyone in the room unto him. "As much as I'd love to listen to the end of this interesting argument but we have a video to watch" House calls sarcastically shaking the DVD in front of everyone's faces. After seeing this side of Chase House is eager to learn more.
