It was Saturday, and still no case, so the Ace, Wolf, and Cameron got to go shopping. Meanwhile, the men began to move furniture.

The Mall

"So Ace, where do you want to go?"

"Macy's, Hot Topic, and PacSun."

"I have to go to Lord & Taylor to return something," Cameron said.

"And I wanted to get that iPod today, so we can also go to the Apple store."

Ace's Room

"Come on, work," House said angrily, "Get of your lazy arses and—"

"Leave them alone, House," came Cuddy's voice. They turned around to see her standing in the door.

"Cuddy, what the… Why are you here?"

"You have a case," she said and handed him a file.

"Let's see. 16 year old girl with heart problem, and she was premature. Could it be, PDA?"

"Oh… it could be House, but don't you think we would've checked," Cuddy said. She had no clue what kind of act she was trying to pull, they didn't check for PDA. House solved the case without looking at the patient.

"No, cause then you would be at the hospital scheduling a surgery. Call them I'll pretend not to notice," he said very matter-of-factly.

Cuddy came back, and House asked her to stay.

"You can help mean whip the slaves, I mean they are terrified of you." Cuddy just rolled her eyes, but decided to hang out for a bit. It was Saturday and she didn't have to work. She didn't, but she always did. She would take a Sunday off once in a blue moon, but that was it.

The Mall

The girls went into Macy's. Ace was looking for sweatpants. She found a pair of black ones that fire prints at the very bottom. They said 'hott' on the butt, and it had a matching hoodie.

Wolf bought a few t-shirts and a pair of running shoes.

"You don't run," Cameron pointed out.

"They were on sale," she said defensively.

Cameron didn't buy anything. She claimed all the shirts were to revealing. Wolf and Ace half believed this until they showed her one that was tight collared.

"What are you afraid of revealing, your arms," Ace asked. Cameron just smiled.

Ace's House

Foreman and Chase were working while Cuddy and House were talking in another room.

"What do you think they're doing? I agree with Ace. They have something going on," Foreman said.

"Yea, they have been twice as nasty to each other. It's weird," Chase replied.

"Not to mention, Cuddy has been hanging out around the conference room a lot lately, and she took two days off a while back. That is a bit…"

"Out of character," Chase supplied.

"Yea."

House walked in, hence ending the conversation.

"Okay boys, what do you want for lunch? Pizza, or Chinese?"

"Pizza," they both said at the same time.

"Chinese it is then," House said. Forman rolled his eyes.

"What was the point of asking us," Chase asked.

"To be polite. Besides, I'm the one picking the food up." He looked at the two ducklings, "Don't worry. I'll take Cuddy," he added seeing their faces. He left. Foreman and Chase began to work again.

The Mall

The girls were at PacSun, and Wolf and Ace were browsing. They both fit in perfectly with the scene and the crowd. Cameron stuck out like a sore thumb.

Ace bought some bracelets; pink, black, and green rubbery ones. She picked up a necklace. It had mock brown leather 'chain' and a metal guitar pick charm. The picks had different pictures on them, such as peace signs.

Ace looked around for Cameron. Some Goth kid was glaring at her through the glass wall between PacSun and Hot Topic. She nudged Wolf and pointed it out. Wolf smiled and walked over to the wall. She knocked on the wall which seemed to scare the kid.

After PacSun, They decided to go out to eat. They chose a Friendly's. They all ordered the same kind of salads which their waiter found humorous.

"Hello ladies, what would you like today?" He was adorable! He had curly brown hair, a round face, and warm, brown eyes.

"He is endearing," Wolf said.

"Never use the word endearing again, Wolf," Ace said. "But yes, he is gorgeous."

"Hey, stick to one guy," Cameron said. Ace blushed a bit.

"Oh, busted! Who is it?" Wolf looked curious. Cameron smiled.

"Justin," she said.

"Oh, more people you have to share the broom closet with. You should make a schedule. Work some time in for House and Cuddy," Wolf answered with a confident smile.

"God, you are annoying," the three said at the same time, only Wolf said it in a voice that was mocking the other two.

"We are horrible atheists/deists you know. We use 'God' expressions way too much," Ace said.

House's Car

"So, Lisa, would you like to come over to my place tonight?"

"Sure," she smiled a bit, "What time?"

"Around eight, I guess," House said. His phone began to ring...

"House… Done already… Okay, we'll meet you at my place…" He hung up.

"Who was that," Cuddy asked.

"Foreman, they are done already. We are going to my place."

"Oh… Okay…"

"Something wrong?"

"I just…"

The Mall

Wolf had bought her new iPod, and they were getting ready to leave. Suddenly a girl ran up to Ace and hugged her.

"Hi Krissy," Ace said unenthusiastically.

"Oh my God, Julia, I heard! I'm so sorry," she said a little to happily.

"Thanks Krissy. Well we got to go."

"Hi people taking Julia to the mall," she said waving her hands overly enthusiastically.

"Um… Call me Ace. And these are Wolf and Cameron."

"How do ya know them?"

"I just do."

"Okay, well I'm gonna call you tonight!"

"Um… No because… … I have that internship thing," Ace said lamely.

"Awe… to bad, well call me when you are done with that."

"Yea, okay." Krissy walked away.

"Who was that," Wolf asked as they made their way to her car.

"Krissy, leader of the popular group."

"Oh, I'm guessing you two don't get along."

"Not really. Right now she either feels really bad for me, or owes me a lot of money."

"Why would she owe you money?"

"I run a gambling service, remember?"

"Oh, yea… Why wouldn't she feel bad for you?"

"Umm… When she lost her mom, I tried to be nice, but she told me I have no clue what she is going through, that I live a 'charmed life', I have no problems, and that if my mother died she wouldn't be talking to me so I shouldn't be talking to her."

"That's horrible," Cameron said. "What did you say?"

"Nothing, I just apologized for being the better person."

House's Place

House and Cuddy walked in with the food, not planning to tell anyone what had just happened. 'It was just a kiss,' they kept thinking to themselves. Of course this meant it was much, much, more. There was passion that neither House nor Cuddy ever felt before. And while they have both been in love before this was different.

Ace, Wolf, and Cameron walked in the door and put their bags on the couch. Chase kissed Cameron. House snickered, causing Ace and Cuddy to glare at House.

"Yum! Chinese," Ace said. She grabbed a carton of white rice and added a bunch of different sauces.

"I was gonna eat that," Foreman said. He grabbed a different, slightly smaller box of white rice.

"I hungry too," Wolf said and grabbed some lo mein from House.

"Wolf, give it back…"

"No, I'm hungry!" Chase looked at Cameron and handed his food over.

They were all laughing until the beepers went off.

Beepbeep Beepbeep

Beeeeeeep Beeeeeeep

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beeeeeeeee

Beeeep beepbeep Beeeep beepbeep

Beeeeeep beep Beeeeeep beep

"Cuddy, why do we have a patient?" House asked.

"You shouldn't," she said, "You were right about the PDA girl."

"Come on, let's go," Ace said grabbing the box of food. "Shotgun," she called as all the doctors just sat there. "Hellooooo…….. Yes we are having fun but if you wanted to dump work every time a little thing came up, you shouldn't have become doctors." They all got up to leave. "F is for friends who do stuff together, U is if for you and me, N is for any where at any time at all, DOWN HERE IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA. F is for fire that burns down the whole town, U is for uranium… bombs, N is for is for no survivors…'NO PLANKTON' F is for Frolic through all the flowers, U is for Ukulele, N is for Nose picking, chewing gum, and sand licking, Here with my best buddy."

"That was the most obnoxious thing I've ever…."

"I'm not done yet," Ace said wrinkling up her nose, and began the obnoxious laugh part.

"You are the most obnoxious—"

"Then you have to get out more often." House looked at Ace. She began to sing again.

"Ace, shut up," Wolf said.

"Okay dokay."

The Hospital

"34 year old male. Low BP, then had a heart attack," Wilson told House as they walked down the hall.

"Why are you telling me?"

"I couldn't find Cuddy," he said.

"What up, Wilson," came the cheery voice of Ace as he walked in the door conference room. She, the ducklings, Cuddy, Justin, and Jackie were eating on the couch, watching House's portable T.V.

"You got more food," House asked.

"Shhh… No TeVo," Wolf said.

"Cuddy, what are you doing here," Wilson asked.

"It's Saturday, I don't have to be here," she said she got up and left towards to her office. House followed.

"Whipped," Ace whispered to Wolf. She smiled.

"Is it just me, or has Cuddy been acting weird lately," Wilson asked.

"Who wants to guess why," Ace said, barely audible. The duckling smiled.
