Buffy toyed with the knife that was hidden in her coat pocket. The elevator ride seemed like forever. House was tapping his cane against his leg to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star, making Buffy giggle.
When the doors finally opened, Buffy followed House out, and to several glass rooms, Buffy stared at the structures, "Don't you ever feel like you're in zoo?"
House shrugged, "I like to think of the rest of the hospital as an ant farm. I even named some of them. My favorites are Busty, and Flinchy."
Buffy nodded her head, "Do they call you Master? Or are you their queen?"
House narrowed his eyes, "I'm the one with the whip," he said it hoping to make her squirm, but all she did was smile a secret smile.
"Hope you know how to use it."
House made a huffing noise before pushing the door open and intruding on his three subordinates, "I swear, you people are like babies, I can't leave you alone for even a second!"
House had taken her jacket, and he hung it up next to his, ready to have a little chaos. Buffy had followed him in, enjoying the show, until the blonde one spotted her, he cocked his head ever so slightly.
"Miss, this is a private office, the waiting room is just down the hall," his accent was clear as day.
Buffy strangled the cooing sound rising in her throat, "How long did it take you to find an Australian?"
House shrugged his shoulders and hobbled over to a white board, "Three and a half weeks."
Buffy pointed to Foreman, "Him?"
House let out a breath as he thought, "Two weeks."
"The girl?"
House smirked, "Three days, besides, it was between her and an overly sentimental man, I thought I would go with the lesser of two evils."
Cameron moved towards the younger woman, "Why don't I show you to the waiting room, maybe get someone to help you."
House rolled his eyes and lifted his hands up to the sky, "Leave her alone!"
Foreman stood up and walked towards the newcomer, "Why?"
House sighed with a hint of annoyance, "Stop circling like hyenas, she may bite, I haven't had her checked for rabies yet. Chase, go down to the local pet store and get her a collar and a tag, make sure it says Princess, and my information. Black collar, black leash, got it?"
Chase's mouth was open in astonishment, "She's a human being!"
House gave him a 'well-duh!' look before turning back to the white board, "Of course she's human, they frown upon actual animals being in the hospital. If you don't want to be fired, go do what I said!"
Chase sighed, "Whatever!"
Cameron and Foreman smothered their laughter, "Foreman, you take Princess there on a tour of the hospital. Make sure she knows where the pharmacy, Cuddy's office, The Clinic, and Wilson's office is."
Foreman looked at him like he was crazy, which he probably was.
Cameron's eyes were wide, "What about me?"
House put his chin in his hand as he settled into a chair, "I thought that would have been obvious," she just stared blankly at him, "Go take care of the patient."
She hurried out of her boss's sight, following Chase. Foreman just stood there, not wanting to do as he was told.
House shooed him with his hand, "Go! We still have a patient to cure, and I can't do that until all my people are back. Take care of my puppy, she means the world to me…really."
Foreman grabbed the girl by the wrist and stalked out of the office, dragging Princess, completely missing the smirks that Buffy and House exchanged.

Thank you for all your support, I hope you enjoyed this, and more will come soon. I will tell you, that while Buffy is the slayer, vampires will not really have a big part with House and the gang. Spike and Angel will show up later in the story…just for a chapter or three. Hehe.
Hope you like it so far!
