So, I am officially 16 now. Yay.
I also have another chapter for you. Yay.
Much love to everyone who's been reviewing.
The next week went past quickly. Lena spent her days at the hospital, managing to restrain herself reasonably well from causing too much trouble. So far, all she had done was post sticky note memos around 'from Dr Cuddy' instructing doctors to attend meetings or page other doctors. It had caused a little bit of confusion but Cuddy had managed to send a memo saying 'ignore all previous memos'. Oh, and she also set the fire alarm off once. Cuddy had yelled at her for about thirty minutes.
She had also decided to go through House's duckling's lockers. She had discovered Chase used Sunsilk Cashmere Shine Shampoo, which had confirmed her initial suspicions. She had taken the liberty of switching the shampoo with a more masculine one, he had bitched about it for a few days.
In a fit of boredom, Lena had 'decorated' Cameron's locker with some pictures of vests. She thought it was a nice touch, maybe Cameron would get the hint about the vests. She hadn't. She had whined to House before he had become annoyed at her and sent her to the clinic.
Other than that, the week had been pretty uneventful.
Jordan had updated her on what was going on at school. Lena had the suspicion that Mr Wilkerson missed the chaos she had caused at school. It was probably getting too quiet for his liking, though he would never admit it. She never thought she would be happy to go back to school.
Cuddy had been over to House's apartment a few more times, though they were attempting to be discreet. Lena had even visited Cuddy's house, which she found she liked a lot, and had made herself comfortable.
House and Cuddy had decided to go on a date on Saturday night. Lena had thought it sweet they were trying to do something a normal couple would. House had claimed it was to keep in Cuddy's good books so he could get some. Being around those two was like being around horny teenagers.
It was Saturday now and Lena was at Cuddy's house. She had given herself the job of helping Cuddy get ready. Lena sat on the bed contemplating jewellery while Cuddy was changing.
"How about this one?" Cuddy asked, coming out of her walk-in wardrobe.
"Hmm," Lena said, "Put that in the 'maybe' pile."
"Lena," Cuddy said exasperatedly, "There are about seven dresses in that pile. I'll never be ready in time if you keep doing this!"
"Hey," Lena said, "I'm just making sure you look perfect. This is your first date after all."
"It sounds so odd when you say that," Cuddy commented, going back into the wardrobe to change again.
"Well, you two may be going at it like rabbits," Lena said, Cuddy threw a pillow at her, "But you haven't actually had a date yet."
"Thank you for that," Cuddy said rolling her eyes.
"Hey," Lena shrugged, "Look at it this way, he must really really like you. I mean, he's already getting some, he'd only bother with the wining and dining stuff if he was serious."
"You've been spending too much time around Wilson," Cuddy grinned.
"Ah," Lena sighed dramatically, "I just can't resist listening to the gossip-queen himself."
Cuddy laughed as she re-emerged, dressed in a figure-hugging black dress. It clung to her figure in all the right places and showed some cleavage, not so much as to make it look slutty though.
"Wow," Lena said, "That is the dress! You look amazing! Wait until your hair and make-up is done, you'll blow him away."
Cuddy waved off Lena's compliments and began on her hair and make-up. Lena chose a simple necklace for her to wear and some heels. Half an hour later she was ready.
House arrived at seven to pick her up, not with the motorbike though as Cuddy had refused to ride it. Lena grinned as she answered the door.
"Hello father," she said.
"Oh, it's you," he said.
"I'm hurt," she said, "Deeply hurt."
"Build a bridge, get over it," House said, "Where's Cuddy?"
"Your date is just getting her purse," Lena said, stressing the word date. House rolled his eyes.
"Right," House said, "Why are you here again?"
"Because Cuddy needed a female perspective to help her get ready," Lena rolled her eyes, as though it were obvious, "I mean Wilson was going to do it but he couldn't make it."
At that moment, Cuddy appeared in the hallway. House's eyes widened, Lena thought he looked speechless so of course she was beaming. He opened his mouth to say something but then closed it again. Cuddy grinned, knowing that his speechlessness was better than any compliment House could have given.
"Shall we go?" Cuddy asked, coming to stand next to him, "Or are you too busy enjoying the view?"
"I think I like the view even more from this angle," House said, leaning over to stare rather blatantly at Cuddy's chest.
She rolled her eyes but smiled, knowing this was House's way of saying she looked good.
"Bye," Lena said waving, "Now remember your curfew, and hands to yourselves!"

Lena flopped down onto Cuddy's couch and flipped on the TV. She flicked through some channels before sighing, there was nothing good on. She was contemplating whether to snoop or eat when her phone rang.
"Hey L," Jordan's voice said. "Jason knows this guy who's throwing a party; his parents are out of town or something. You're coming whether you like it or not."
"Hello to you too," Lena said, "And do you think I would ever turn down the opportunity to party?"
"We'll come and pick you up then?" Jordan asked.
"Yeah," Lena said, "Oh, no wait, I'm at Cuddy's."
"Okay…" Jordan said. "Where is it?"
Fifteen minutes later Lena was getting into the car with Jordan, Jason and another guy.
"Hi Lena," Jason said.
"Hey Jason," Lena said, getting in the back next to Jordan.
"This is Kyle," Jason said.
"He's on the lacrosse team with Jase," Jordan added.
"Kyle, Lena," Jason said.
"I've heard about you," Kyle said. "At school. Were you the one who blew an apple up in Mr Collins' face?"
"Yep," Lena said.
"He so had it coming," Kyle said. "Although, no one's had the guts to do anything."
"Well, that has changed, my friend, because I have a lot more where that came from." Lena said, "It did get me suspended. It was so worth it though." Kyle chuckled.
Jason pulled up near the house which the party was obviously happening in, based on the blaring music and congregation of teens. They all got out and walked to the house, Jordan and Lena separating from the guys as they talked.
"That's Jordan's friend?" Kyle said, "The one you like? She is hot."
"Shut up," Jason said.
"Just ask her out already, man," Kyle said.
So, what did you think?
OMG I'm dying without the new House ep this week. The promo looked so good. Argh.
