I hope you enjoy this chapter!

--------------------------------------------------

Cameron took a deep breath and marched bravely from the conference room.

"Wait, don't you want some form of protection? A battle helmet? Mouthguard? Emergency flare?" Wilson trailed off as the immunologist approached House.

"How 'bout a condom?" Chase sniggered, earning himself another slap, this time from Foreman. Through the open door the three doctors heard Cameron's bold announcement.

"I really, really have to do a number two, mon." And with that, she walked away. Cuddy looked on the verge of a nervous breakdown and wobbled off in the opposite direction. House stared after Cameron, clearly impressed. He noticed the other doctors watching him from the conference room.

"Silly girl," he said fondly, indicating Cameron, "She has no idea what she's getting herself into!" He exclaimed. Then, with a startled expression, he remembered his current 'mission' and raced after Cuddy.

Foreman, Chase and Wilson heard Cuddy's protests echo down the hall.

"PISS OFF!" She screamed.

"What?" House replied, matching her volume.

The doctors could have sworn they heard Cuddy's head explode. House came hobbling past a few seconds later.

"Might want to give her some space." He said wisely, jerking his head in Cuddy's direction.

--------------------------------------------------

House was right. Cameron didn't have any idea what she was getting herself into when she agreed to take on the diagnostician. All hell broke loose following the scene outside the conference room that afternoon.

It began after House pushed Cuddy over the edge, and proceeded to hobble off in Cameron's direction. He found her outside the elevator, shouting "What, mon?" repeatedly to a very disgruntled Nurse Brenda.

House, as his way of saying 'Count me in', snuck up behind his employee and promptly pinched her butt. She gasped in surprise and spun around to find House's rapidly disappearing back in her line of sight. She wrung her hands excitedly.

"I can't believe you people!" Nurse Brenda was saying. "I am so going to report you!"

Cameron winked and shot at Nurse Brenda with her fingers in the form of a gun. "I like your style, mon." She grinned, skipping off happily towards the lab.

Meanwhile Foreman was redrawing the tally on their whiteboard. Now, in large letters across the top, it said "House vs. Cameron" and underneath were their points. They were able to keep track of what activities the two competitors were engaged in by listening intently to all the frightened screams and pages echoing down the hallways. Both Chase and Wilson were situated at various locations around the hospital, paging Foreman regularly for updates So far Cameron had managed to catch up to their boss, and was actually beating him by five points. Foreman knew better than to get his hopes up, however. Who knew what House was doing at that very moment?

One very scared intern knew. House had cornered her outside the ICU and, blocking her means of escape with his body and outstretched cane, was whining "Shut uuuup! Make them stop, please! Shut UP" while slapping his forehead desperately. The intern whimpered and crossed herself.

Cameron strolled into the lab casually. Another doctor was in there, running some tests. He greeted Cameron, but stopped mid-sentence to glance down at her feet. No wonder she looks odd, he realised. She'd tucked her pants into the knee-length stockings she was wearing underneath, and, more surprisingly, didn't appear to have noticed.

"Um… Dr Cameron, your pants?" He said tentatively.

"Not now." She said haughtily, marching back out again.

And so, like a warped tennis match, the two of them bounded back and forth, each claiming the lead temporarily, until the other stepped further outside the boundaries of their sanity and gained more points.

House matched Cameron's 'pant-leg' incident by referring to everyone he came into contact with as 'Bob.'

Cameron, although unaware House was beating her by two points, managed to tie with him once more after running sideways around the third floor. She got away with it, too, seeing as that was the Psych ward and people running sideways down the hall was a regular occurrence.

Then House began speaking in tongues to patients in the clinic, saying in between incoherent babbles 'Did you get that?'

So Cameron shouted random numbers while patients underwent eye-tests in Ophthalmology.

House vacuumed his desk, much to the surprise of the cleaning staff.

Cameron ignored everyone to spoke to her.

House sang the national anthem. Okay, so he sang his own version, which included some graphic words and situations, but the activity was still valid.

Cameron questioned people about their sex, and snorted when they replied.

House began wheeling people's chairs out to the elevator, gasping every time the door opened.

Finally Cameron ran into her boss in a corridor. Literally. He was slightly out of breath, having successfully disposed of all the office chairs on the floor.

"I'm onto you Allison." He sneered, despite looking quite impressed with her efforts.

"Bring it on Greg." She retorted, grinning evilly at him. He raised an eyebrow.

"Oh I will, Allison." He said slyly.

"You do that, Greg." She replied.

House blinked. "I will," he said blankly.

Cameron drew back, her face also void of expression. "Okay," She said blandly.

The two of them were silent.

"I'm just going to go this way…now" House said quickly, hobbling away.

"Okay" Cameron said with relief, running in the opposite direction to where House was heading.

She found herself in the conference room, and noticed both she and House were tied for points. She consulted the Boredom Battle list once more, raising her eyebrows when she saw how limited their options were. Between them they'd done the majority of the activities, but she was in no mind to stop. This was way too much fun. Besides, she had to beat House. She had to prove herself to him.

She had to pinch his butt again.
