Well, my computer's been acting up, so I won't be able to post for a while. Like a week. But then my laptop battery problems will besolced, so I can write a lot more! Thanx my loyal fans :) And to the flame I got... If you don't like it, don't read it, lol... I actually just made Ace a female House, a bit smaller. Or was House bad in school... w/e

"Cuddy," Ace called. "Here's your kid. It's seven o'clock, I figured you would be looking for him." Cuddy smiled. She was just leaving to look for him.

"Aunt Lisa, guess what? You know Ace's daddy! You are dating him."

"Yep, I know," she said, casting an angry glance at Ace.

"Yep, Darren and I had a really cool day. We swapped some stories about you and House!" Cuddy's glare continued.

"How many people did you tell these stories to?"

"Oh, just each other. But we found one really good one about both of you we told all the ducklings. Don't worry," she added seeing the look on Cuddy's face, "We aren't about to tell any one else."

"Thanks for watching him Ace," she said.

"Can I come back one day," Darren asked.

"We will see," Cuddy said.

"Well, bye Darren, I got to go find my daddy." Darren gave Ace a hug.

"I'm gonna miss you," he said.

"Awww…. I'll miss you too." Cuddy picked him up and walked down the hall. Ace went the other way. She walked up to the conference room. House was play with his tennis ball, Chase was doing a cross word puzzle, Cameron a sudoku puzzle, and Wolf was reading. Jackie was asleep on the couch and Justin was drawing. Foreman went home early

"Why are we still here," House asked.

"You and Cuddy have a story to tell us," Chase said.

"Oh, and what's that?"

"Exactly why you broke you broke up the first time."

"Why would we tell you?"

"Because we will tell everyone you were engaged," Wolf said.

"Wolf, you told them?"

"No."

"Then who told?"

"Cuddy's nephew," Cameron informed him.

"Great. More teens I must worry about," he grumbled.

"No, he was like four."

"Joy, even better," He caught the tennis ball.

"Cuddy isn't gonna be back for a while…"

"Where did she go?"

"She brought Darren, her nephew, home."

"When will she back?"

"I don't know." She sat next to Justin. "Whoa…"

"What," he asked.

"That is… You are an amazing drawer."

"Um… Thanks," he said. He was drawing what seemed to be a dragon. It looked ready to jump out of the page.

"What else did you draw?"

"Nothing," he answered to quickly.

"Please lemme see!"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Just… No."

"Fine, I'll steal it later."

"No, you won't."

"Please?"

"Julia, stop." He looked at her, and she smiled.

"Please?"

"No."

"You aren't any fun."

"Too bad."

"Just one?"

"Fine one." He flipped a page behind. There was a picture of a winged wolf. It was howling at the moon.

"How the hell did you do that?"

"Practice."

"Lemme try." He pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to her. She drew a few lines, but it didn't really make anything.

"I have no talent…"

"It's not that bad," Justin said. House began to mock them.

"Oh Justin, Oh Julia." Ace glared, then crumpled up her paper and threw it at him.

"That's no way to treat your father," he said throwing the paper back at her. He missed, and hit Jackie. She woke up, looked around, then threw the paper at Cameron, who was now sitting at the table. She tossed it at Chase who tossed it back at Ace. He missed, and hit Justin, who chucked it lightly at Wolf. Wolf tossed it Ace, who tossed it at Chase, who tossed it at Cameron, who tossed it at House. This continued for a while. Ace tossed it at House, then Cuddy walked in. House chucked it at her.

"Why are we throwing papers," she asked, annoyed. She threw it back at House.

"Chill Cuddy," Ace grinned.

"What do you guys want?"

"I told you before, we want to know what happened between you two. We aren't asking one without the other."

House threw the paper at Jackie, who woke up again.

"Get up, sis, House and Cuddy sit there."

"What, why is Dr. Cuddy here."

"Dude, you can call her Cuddy," Ace laughed.

"That would be rude."

"Whatever, move."

"I… Okay." She got up. Cuddy came over and sat down. House stood up and stood next to the couch.

"House, sit."

"I'm fine," he grumbled.

"Sit," Ace demanded.

"Fine," he said in mock offense.

"Now you are going to tell us what happened?"

"No," they said at the same time.

"Okay, slow questions Cameron." She rolled her eyes.

"Does Wilson even know?"

"No."

"What?"

"No, I didn't tell Wilson. He knows we were dating, but not that we were engaged."

"When did you start going out," Jackie asked.

"14 years ago? Around then I suppose." Cuddy frowned.

"So you didn't know my mom, did you," Ace asked.

"No. I didn't."

"When did you get engaged," Wolf asked.

"Two years later… Why are we telling you this?"

"Cause we are the closest you two got to friends," Cameron said.

"Right," said House, shaking his head. He leaned back.

"Okay, here's the big one. Why did you brake up?"

"We… umm… We don't have to tell you this," Cuddy said.

"We worked at different hospitals," House said looking down. "I umm… I was fired, and went to another hospital, only hospital that would take me. I already had a reputation. So we worked together. Not in the same department or anything. Just the same hospital."

"And you two fought too much? Got sick of each other," Justin asked. Cuddy just shook her head.

"No, nothing like that," she said. "We were getting along great. I mean sure, we would have a fight or two, but nothing major."

"One day, the dean accused her of sleeping around. She was quickly traveling to the top. He said a lot of crap about her. One day he was pissing me off, so I punched him."

"Shit House," Chase said.

"Oh please, I've seen the way you eye him when he says something about Cameron," Ace replied to Chase's stare.

"He knew he had it coming, so he moved me to another hospital. Here, actually. House resigned. Two weeks later, he had a job again. A different hospital. But this made rumors worse. We knew we were bringing each other down, so we decided to take a break. Just to get out careers up."

"I met Stacy, and she met Joe."

"We somehow remained friends."

"I got transferred here. Five years later…" He didn't have to say anything else. Cuddy's look at his cane was enough.

"I had just become the dean, and then House came in with his leg. Well, you all know that story."

They all looked at them. No one seemed that surprised, except Jackie.

"But true love conquers all," she said.

"Yea, right," Ace began. "Some how I think money is a bit more important."

"You sound like a greedy little brat right now!"

"You know, this is what bugs me. Everyone says money isn't important. You know what? It is. It's a bit hard to eat without money. If money wasn't important, there wouldn't be homeless people. If money wasn't important, then wars would be cheaper, and there would be more. Money is most defiantly important."

"I've never met any with such strange views on the world."

"Yea, I'm sure you have, you just don't talk to them."

"So you don't think you are original?"

"Original is just a concept. If you are Goth, you are original, even though there are a ton of other Goth kids in this world. If you are rebellious, you are original, even though everyone thinks they are a rebel right now. People always say the world thinks one way, but 'I'm original, so I think the other.'"

"What do you mean?"

"One day in class we were asked who do people feel sorrier for, the mentally or physically challenged? Everyone said people felt sorrier for the mentally, but they personally felt worse for the physically. When it got to me, I said everyone felt the worst for the physically, and that I did too. Everyone was like 'do you not pay attention to society' or something. I was like 'the entire class said physically. More people feel sorrier for the physically.'"

"I guess that makes sense," Jackie replied.

"You have no clue what I'm talking about."

"No, I don't. I'm good with love affairs, and that's it."

"Well then, Dr. Phil, what do you recommend for these two?" Jackie looked up at the two doctors.

"Umm… Go home… and have sex?"

"Words well spoken, Jackie. Your right, I'm sure sex solves all problems." Ace looked annoyed.

"How would you know," Jackie asked, "You're a virgin."

"That's a bad thing?" Jackie couldn't answer. She said more then she meant to.

"Okay, we are leaving," Cameron said. She kissed Chase on the cheek. "I'll meet you at your place," she whispered. She walked out, and Justin and Jackie followed her.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep," Ace said and walked out. She walked down the hall to where all the Platy's Plan kids were hanging out. Chase gathered his stuff and left too. Cuddy stood up.

"Not yet," House said.

"What?"

"Wait for Chase to leave, so we can go home."

"Oh, sure," she said sitting back down. House put his arm around her, and she rested her head on his shoulder.

They talked about stupid things for about ten minutes. Cuddy's watch beeped.

"Oh, it's nine already. Come on, let's go."

"Yea." And they headed down to his car.
