Enjoy si' vous plait (please)
Violet was standing at the front of the office waiting for Dr. Cameron to get of work when her Dad swaggered by, followed by a thoroughly irritated Wilson. Upon seeing Wilson she let out a near hysterical squeak and overtook James just about knocking both of then down. Wilson hugged her back and let out a robust chuckle at her display of affection.
"Uncle Jimmy!" she began in happy, sort of frenzied way, "I haven't seen you at all today, where have you been? I wanted to thank you for helping me get an A on the bio test. The teacher was freaking out; she said I got the best score of the class." She then calmed down some, or at least enough in order for James to get a word in.
"Well, you're welcome Violet, anything for you." At this House scoffed noticeably and twisted his face in a very obnoxious way. "Greg, what is up with you," James asked aggressively.
"Well, for your information St. Jimmy, this fiendish…thing," House shifted his hand ungracefully towards the stubbornly positioned Violet, "that I call my daughter is setting me up on a date without my conformation. And she gets away with it too because she's a cute little kid who people assume is 'nicer' than me, even though she does have my genes, and my,"-he paused with a debonair flick of hair that left Violet rolling her eyes and fake gagging-," dashing charm that seems to get me so many women."
"Women my ass," Violet scornfully spat, "and how do you know that I'm setting up a date for you, it could be for Wilson or Foreman or somebody else."
"Well let's say a little birdie told me that you were talking to Dr. Alison Cameron about going shopping so that someone would take her on a date."
"Suppose its true then daddy dearest, who told you? If it was Case, I wouldn't believe him. He's a real dodgy character, though he does remind me of you in your prime…" Violet thoughtfully told him.
"I resent that," boomed House," I'm nothing like that Englishman! I am better looking and he is bleach city."
"Um Dad? He's Australian, he is on a totally different continent than England, and I think its annoying him that you always refer to him as the 'grab able Brit.'"
House opened his mouth about to say how it did not matter when Cameron excitedly walked up to the group already dressing in a think fleece to combat winter (A/N I don't think I made it clear what season it was). She gave an odd look to House whose cane was suspended in midair and looked ready to throttle the teenage girl next to him.
"Did I interrupt something," she asked the trio before her.
"Oh no," said Violet, "I was simply teaching dad the art of political correctness, a subject he is quite unwilling to grasp. Anyway let's go. Hopefully we can make it to the mall before closing; I don't feel like going to the place when it isn't open or when the vicious crowds get there, I almost was attacked once." And sparing a glance at her father and James she said," Bye-bye I'll see you at home!"
Greg turned to Wilson after watching them walk off and said, "Would you ever know she was related to me, she's setting me up on a date, I should've asked mom to not let her watch those matchmaker/dating show things." House sighed and cast an unreadable look towards Wilson and added, "You need to help me look for a bigger apartment by the way."
James looked at him oddly and began, "You mean-?" and was interrupted by House saying, "Yeah she's going to stay permanently and my current 'crib' isn't big enough Vi says she doesn't like sleeping on the couch, but don't tell her yet 'cause I haven't."
"Why isn't your mom taking her anymore? I thought that was the agreement since you couldn't take care of her…" Wilson asked.
"Well we both sort of decided that I should take her, I mean when she lived with mom I still talked to her on the phone everyday and saw her for a week every few months, so I just wanted her to be closer I guess, plus after the whole leg thing she was here with my parents and she keeps badgering me to live here because she likes it in New Jersey." House ended dully. "I also have to deal with Veronica's sister who has been giving me a hard time about the custody thing; did you know she called me 45 times in one night? The woman is relentless; I don't know why she wants to see Violet. Veronica and her sister didn't like each other much so I don't know why she's so steadfast to see Veronica's daughter. Well, whatever I'm going to the pharmacy for my meds I'll meet at the bar in an hour. See you." House finished and walked off leaving Wilson standing there silently checking out the nurse's aid who was bending over to retrieve something.

Violet and Cameron walked out to the car and got in quickly in order to avoid the harsh wind outside. Cameron started the engine and rubbed her hands together to generate warmth in her body. Meanwhile Violet pulled out a magazine and turned to Cameron as they started to back up, "Ok what, stores do you frequent at?" she inquired. Cameron took a few seconds to answer:
"Well, Wal-Mart and Old Navy and the Gap, those types of places. I don't really have a lot of money so I can't go to really expensive stores…"
"Don't worry," Violet answered," You don't have to go to really pricey shops, places like Forever 21, H&W, and Hollister aren't ludicrously costly. You just need to get an idea of how much you plan to spend and look for really good sales and shit, but is you see something you really like, just splurge 'cause it might not be there next time."
Violet continually flicked through her fashion magazine dog-earing pages where she saw something she liked.
Cameron fiddled with the radio and turned to look at Violet who was quietly reading, "Has your Dad always been-," she initiated before being interrupted by Violet, "Oh yeah, as long as I've known him, so since I was born and probably before," she said looking up and looking at Cameron. Suddenly her eyes became huge and she let out a bloodcurdling scream, Cameron followed her eyes, and gasped as she saw headlights hurdling toward her.
