Okay... I figured I'd might as well post another chapter. I've been getting some great feedback from you all (which I really appreciate).

I'm having a little case of writer's block right now. I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with classes starting back up again here. I know what I want to write, but I'm not sure how to go about it. That being said, I don't know when I'll post the chapter after this... I want to get my next chapter done first. I like to have at least two complete ahead of schedule...

Ha. Sidenote: In one of my classes yesterday we took a little survey to find out what kind of teacher we'll be. I got Gold... aka the anal retentive one. Not surpised... I'm the girl who has to have chapters written ahead of time for her Huddy Fic! lol.

Anywho, this is once again, another filler chapter; it's just getting things set up for the next couple of chapters. Let me know what you think! Happy Huddy reading :)

Chapter 6: The Nice List

Recap: "This just turned into the biggest game of foreplay ever. Okay, well we know she likes your naughty side, so let's focus on your nice side for the time being."

It was a little after 8pm and the long corridors at PPTH had silenced. House, who had just finished his four hour stint of clinic duty, made his way up to the third floor. Exhausted and sleep deprived, as always, the journey took some time. When he finally reached Kelsey's room, he was relieved to find her sitting in the chair reading to herself, leaving the bed unoccupied and wide open for House to collapse on it, if he so chose… which of course he did.

--"So, how much hell did you cause in the clinic today?"

House muttered his answer into the pillow, making it completely impossible for Kelsey to know what he'd said. She assumed the reason he was mumbling was because he knew she wouldn't like his answer. Turns out, she was wrong.

--"Seriously?! Come on House, I can't undo everything! I'm not magic, I don't have a time-machine or the ability to erase someone's mind! If you want this to work, you're going to have to put forth some effort. I know you have the ability to be nice, I've seen it!"

"Hey, Emily Rose! Why don't you stop projectile vomiting your reprimands at me? In case you didn't hear me, Grandma, I said that I actually didn't cause any trouble down in the clinic today at all. Take a pill…"

Oh… Good grief, he was only mumbling because he's embarrassed that he didn't cause any trouble. Didn't take him for a mumbler. He's almost kind of sweet when he's like this… but in a childish kind of way. I wonder if Cuddy likes that about him… Anyway, back on track, Kels.

--"Oh… well good. Sorry I went off on you. Okay, now for the reason you're here. You're going to be nice, House. Well, nicer than usual and don't worry, it's all just little things. We don't want people to freak out and make them think that the apocalypse is upon us. I'm going to give you a small list of things that I want you to do over the next two days. You can add things to it if you like, and you are certainly free to improvise. These are just things to help make Cuddy's life a little easier in the House department and to help her see that you have the ability to do so."

With that, Kelsey got up and retrieved a piece of paper from her book-bag and handed it to House, which he took and read almost immediately. To his surprise and relief, the list was quite short.

1. Wear your lab coat (for at least an hour… long enough to actually be seen).

2. Open the door for her at least once.

3. Get through an entire DAY of clinic duty without getting into trouble.

4. Smile at her.

He rolled his eyes at the fourth item on the list, annoyed most by it.

"Smile at her? I smile at her all the time…"

--"No. You give her wiry grins to let her know that you're picturing her naked or about ready to do something you're not supposed to. I mean a genuine smile. One without any negative thought behind it… and save me your deflections. This will all be easier if I just give you the list and set you free. I don't care how you do it, I don't need to see it, you don't even have to discuss it with me later, just get it done, House. You have two days… Oh, one more thing! Try to keep it G-rated, I mean, don't do that thing where you shove everything into overdrive. Be subtle, use tact. I know you have the ability to, so don't even try to contest it with me. Now get."

House slowly made his way back to the door, ready to finally go home and get some sleep. He stopped in his tracks, a little unsure of his new assignment, popped a vicodin, and turned back to Kelsey.

"What about everyone else? Wilson… my team? I don't want…" But before he could finish his musings of uncertainty, Kelsey cut him off.

--"I told you I wasn't a moron. I knew that would bother you and I've already taken care of it. I told Chase that we had a bet going. He's the one with the big mouth right? Needless to say, the people you're worried about will not be a problem. Good luck, House; I'll see you on Thursday. I have made a lovely little plan for lunch… for all three of us."

House rolled his eyes and exited the room before he could really process what she had just said. The three of us? He threw his head back to signify his reluctant submission to this crazy girl's plan. The next two days were going to be very interesting, to say the least… then it would be Thursday.
