PS. thanks to BookwormKiwi for their wonderful suggestion! it is the PERFECT activity for house.

House cackled loudly before hobbling off, leaving Cuddy's face contorted in puzzlement.

"What was that all about?" She asked Cameron, who swallowed painfully.

"Nothing Bob" the younger doctor replied before hurrying out the door to warn Foreman and Chase.

She found Foreman talking with an intern, who was looking quite confused.

"So you see mon, patient history is important for those reasons, mon. If-"

Cameron stepped forward and interrupted, motioning for the intern to leave. He looked very relieved, and mouthed the words 'thank you'.

"Bob I need to talk to you, House-"

"What is it, mon?"

"He knows."

"Knows what, mon?"

"About the list!"

"What list, mon?"

"Foreman- I mean Bob! Stop being stupid!"

"Hey, I need some points, too! And what about the 'Bob' thing? MON,"

"What about the Bob thing, Bob?"

"You trying to tell me that wasn't stupid? You could have been fired!"

Cameron was interrupted before she could reply, by a commotion in the hallway a few feet from them. House was standing amongst the patients and doctors, tapping them on the shoulders as they passed. A middle-aged woman walked by, and he reached out to poke her.

"Excuse me, what sex are you?"

"I- I'm female"

"HA!"

Cameron and Foreman gasped in horror.

"What the hell, mon?"

"Told you!"

They rushed forward to try and stop him from distressing any more patients, but he saw them coming. He winked, and hobbled off before they could get any closer.

A little later Cuddy paged the ducklings, and told them to meet in her office.

When they arrived, she was massaging her brow and frowning slightly.

"Okay, you're all here. Good. Now, I want you to tell me what is going on."

The three doctors looked nervously at each other, none of them answering their boss.

"Okay, just start with why you called me 'Bob" Dr Cameron, or why Dr House has been insulting every patient and doctor that he can get his hands on?"

Still nothing.

"Look, House I will deal with. But I have noticed some very strange behaviour from you guys, and I want to get to the bottom of it!" There was a hint of impatience in her voice now. Suddenly her phone rang, and she picked it up.

"Dr Cuddy. Oh, really. No, no that's fine. Okay, see you in ten minutes." She hung up, and sighed.

"I'm sorry, but I need to meet with some people now. But we will be continuing this later, understand?"

The three Ducklings nodded, and went to leave. Chase threw his hands up and stopped them.

"Wait, wait, wait! Wouldn't it be nice if we sang the national anthem for once?" Without waiting for a response, he straightened his shoulders and placed a hand on his chest.

"Australians all let us rejoice, for we are young and free…"

He looked around and raised his eyebrows at the others, indicating for them to join in, even though he was singing his own country's anthem.

"We've golden soil and wealth for toil, our home is girt by sea…" he continued singing loudly and very off-key. Cameron and Foreman were struggling to keep a straight face, while Cuddy sat frozen to the spot.

"Our land abounds in nature's gifts of beauty rich and rare, in history's page let every stage, advance Australia fair…" Foreman and Cameron could no longer contain the fits of giggles that were taking over their bodies as they watched Chase standing with his chest puffed out, belting out his country's song. Cuddy was about three seconds away from calling the Psych ward.

"In joyful strains then let us sing, advance Australia fair" His voice cracked as he sang a painfully high note. Foreman shoved his hands to his ears, as did Cuddy, but Cameron braved the glass-shattering noise to run forward and pull him away.

"Beneath our radiant Southern Cross-" She grabbed his arm and yanked him out of Cuddy's office.

"Come on, we have a serious situation on our hands!" She scolded him just like in his 'naughty schoolboy' fantasies. He giggled quietly as the three of them hurried down to House's office, almost as if they believed he would be in there.

He wasn't, but he had been. They all gasped in horror as they saw the whiteboard. Foreman swore and Chase crossed himself.

There, scrawled in huge, obnoxious letters across the board was 'HOUSE – 10'
