This is my take on the fantastic episode, 'Airborne' I love that one, lot's of Huddy action. It hasn't actually aired here in England, but I watched on the net, he he! Now I know some of the scenes I took from the episode don't fit, but hey it's my story and I can write what I want.

Hope you like it, and as always please read and review.

Chapter 1- Liftoff!

"I can't believe it. A $900 cane and they take it away from me." Dr. Gregory House grumbled as an air stewardess pushed him in a wheelchair onto the airplane. His boss, Dr. Lisa Cuddy, walking beside him rolled her eyes as he complained for the twentieth time about it in only ten minutes.

"You'll get it back. They're just afraid you'll use it as a weapon." She said diplomatically.

"I wouldn't hurt anyone, well except maybe the pilot, then I can fly the plane myself." House smiled gleefully at that thought.

"Yeah, and give everyone a ride they'll never forget." Cuddy said absently.

"That's what all the ladies say about me." House said in a lustful voice, while staring up at Cuddy. She closed her eyes in frustration, she had walked right into that one.

They reached the plane and House hopped off the wheelchair and was guided to his seat in first class. He was happy to see he had been given the window seat while Cuddy would have to put up with people passing her in the aisle and knocking her elbow as she slept. House smiled at that thought.

Still in first class, they had some pretty sweet seats, that could recline all the way back, they had personal TVs, varieties on the menu and plenty of leg room, something House thrived upon. Being in Economy would have surely killed his leg.

"Will you stop fidgeting!" Cuddy cried as House moved about to get comfortable in his seat.

"Just need to find the right spot." House said. "What's got you so cranky?"

"I don't know how about having to go on an 18 hour flight. Stuck in small tin can with a few thousand people." Cuddy grumbled. She honestly wasn't scared of flying, she just found it boring.

"Well at least you have me for company." House said winking at her. "And I've even got toys." He pulled his knapsack open to reveal a few books, his Nintendo and games, his iPod and even a couple of juggling balls.

"Fantastic." Cuddy groused. "Meanwhile back in the land of grown-ups, I'll be doing something productive." She did have some papers to look over, all pertaining to the conference they had just come from in Singapore. She knew she would have to do some damage control since House, world renowned Diagnostician contributed with only a three minute speech.

So as the only adult and sensible one between them, she pulled out some papers making House groan. "Please we just escaped, can't you give work a rest, just for once."

"If you don't want me to work, here's an idea, don't cause trouble for me." Cuddy snapped.

"Where is the fun in that?" House murmured as he opened up a James Bond book. Acting so nonchalant about the whole affair made Cuddy even more irritable. Perfect, House was already too close and getting on her nerves and they hadn't even taken off yet. Maybe if she made her escape now, she could get off the plane and get a later more peaceful flight.

But her theory was shot down when the pilot's voice came on the tannoy to let them know they were just heading down the runway. Cuddy made sure her seatbelt was on and noticed amongst the hideousness of House's yellow and black shirt that he hadn't even attempted to put his on. 'Fine if he wants to go rolling about the aisle or knocking his head on the ceiling, let him.' Cuddy's mind said.

They took off into the air without any problems, and after Cuddy took off her seatbelt she saw House smirk at her in the way that made her heart flutter. "No escaping me now."
