Seras came to in a hospital. She was, to say the least, rather disoriented, as one would be after having something like what she had. Beside her was Walter.

"Walter, what's going on? Where am I?"

"You've suffered a seizure, I believe. I had you brought here, the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. They have the best diagnostic team in the world. They'll figure out what's wrong in no time."

"Where are the others?"

"Well, I'm afraid Sir Integra couldn't make it, and Alucard would have just stood out too much. So it's just me for now."

Meanwhile, at the other end of the hallway, Dr. House and Dr. Cuddy were talking about their newest patient.

"So" House began "We have a 20 year old female. Brought in with seizures and hallucinations." He popped a vicodin into his mouth.

"Yes, but that's not all. The person that brought her in said that… well, I'm still not sure what to make of it… He said she was a vampire."

"Hey, I have an idea. Why don't you stop jerking me around."

"That's what he said."

"And how sure are you that he wasn't jerking you around?"

"House, I don't think a 69 year old man would get his jollies from jerking people around."

"Hey, stranger things have happened. Plus, people lie. I know it's a relatively new concept for you but it happens."

He hobbled into Seras' room,and looked at his new patient. Sears eyed him curiously, not quite expecting what she saw.

"Are you ..."

"Yes. I'm Dr. House. I'll be making sure you get better, so that I won't have to deal with you anymore."

"But we've only just met. Howt can you tell if you can't deal with me yet?"

"Trust me, I just know these , All my patients piss me off, why should you be any different?" He popped another vicodin. Finally, Walter spoke up.

"That pill you're taking, it's vicodin, if I'm not mistaken."

"Yea, and your point is?"

"Vicodin is an made with an opilate extract. Are you sure you should be taking them while at work?"

"Yes. First, they help me with the constant pain I'm in, second, they don't interfere with my job, and third, it's really none of your business, now is it? In fact, why don't you just scram so that I have one less person to talk to, okay?"

With that, Walter left, not wanting to be insuted anymore.

"So…" He looks at her chart "Seras, you were brought in with seizures and hallucinations, or so I'm told." She nodded her head. "I'm also told you're a vampire, is this true, or is my leg getting pulled again. Because if it's the latter, I'm going to need some more vicodin."

"No, it's true. Walter wouldn't lie about something like that."

"Walter… is he the old chap I told to scram?"

"Yes, and be nicer to Walter. He's a good person."

"I'll tell you what. Let's play a game. It's a favorite of mine. I call it "Breaking the 4th wall" Here's the way it works. I'm a character on a TV show, and, as there are no vampires in my show's reality, that must mean you're from a different show. So, here's what I'm going to do. Normally, I'd use my team of diagnosticians to solve cases like yours, but, since you're from a different show, I'm going to get some friends from different shows to act in their place."

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Never mind then." He snapped his fingers, and three doctors appeared by his side. He pointed to the first one, who was wearing a grey zip-up belly shirt under his lab coat. "This is Dr. Avondale Napyeer, although for some reason he wants to be called "Herr Doktor". Now, I'm not going to call him this, because I just wouldn't be me if I didn't try to make my friends miserable." He then pointed to the next one. "This is Dr. Cox. He and I go way back, all the way to cynical doctor's school." He then pointed to the 3rd doctor. "And this one, who, although not a real doctor, I brought him along for the pop culture reference."

"Is that Dr. Who?"

"Yes it is. My god, brains, body, and youth. Now, if we can only make you healthy, you'll be a perfect four out of four."

"Um, thank you, I guess."

"It wasn't really meant as a compliment. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and solve this. See you in whenever I feel like it." He snapped his fingers, and the other doctors followed him out.
