After an hour of deciding what to wear her first day of school. Eventually she decided on a pink and black zebra print mini skirt, thick grey tights, black over the knee fishnet socks, her thick soled combat boots, a black shirt with a neon Hello Kitty print, and a grey and purple rose print hoodie. She threw on various accessories and put on her winter gear before grabbing her bag and heading out the door with a goodbye to her parents.

Madison parked her car in the student parking lot and walked to the building where her locker was. She could feel eyes following her down the hall that made her feel a little uncomfortable. She sighed and put her coat, scarf, gloves, and hat in her locker. Walking to her math class, with the aid of a map, she bumped into Brad.

"Hey Madison! What's up?" He greeted her with a smile. "Ready for your first class?"

"Not really. I've never been in a new school with no friends around. Do you know where room 435 is?" Madison asked him.

"Oh, one of the smart kids! I knew you were the moment I saw you!" Brad couldn't stop smiling and it unnerved her a little. "I'll show you. Come on."

"I wonder if Madison's first day at school went well." Wilson wondered aloud when he was loitering around House's office between appointments and House was avoiding his clinic duties.

"Don't worry about it." House said, distracted by something on the computer. "You can ask her when she gets here." The team chose that moment to walk through the door with the results of the latest test on their patient.

"Why would she be coming to the hospital?" Wilson asked. House shrugged and turned his attention to his team.

"The test came back negative." Thirteen told them. "It could be radiation poisoning."

"And where would a housewife come into contact with radiation?" Foreman asked her. Behind them, Madison watched the group of doctors crowding the room.

"She's not a housewife then. Or she's from Chernobyl." Madison said. The team turned to look at the teenager. She went up on her tiptoes to look her father in the eyes.

"Hey Maddie." House greeted her.

"Hey dad." At the two simple words the team's jaws dropped and gawked at the punky teenager standing innocently in front of them. Like she was oblivious to the bomb shell she just dropped. "I hope you don't mind doing this physical for me. Coach Gibson was adamant that I get this done soon."

"No problem to me since I'm not doing it. Chase is." House told her.

"Wait, what?" Chase did a double take after the realization set in. "You have a daughter and you never cared to mention it before? How can you have a daughter?"

"Well, Chase...when a man and woman love each other very much-" House began.

"That's not what I meant." Chase stopped him.

"You, go do Maddie's physical." House ordered him. "You three, go figure out what wrong with the patient." And the last three went off in a gossipy flutter.

"Do you really want her playing hockey? She could get seriously hurt." Wilson asked House.

"Madison? She's a great hockey player." House told her.

"How would you know?" Wilson asked him.

"She's been all over the internet." House replied. "She has a great record."

"You've been internet stalking your own daughter?" Wilson asked as he went around the desk to get a look at the computer screen to see her facebook page open and House had been watching a video of Madison's last hockey practice at Fuller Academy. "Wow, she has great control on the ice and she's really fast."

"I told you she's good." House replied. "She's also a good musician." He clicked on a video of Madison playing scales and then starting to play a song and began singing.

"I'm the lucky one, always having fun.

I tie back my hair. I sit and watch TV.

I see only me. Though I look for you there."

"Madison, who is that?" The girl filming asked her.

"It's 'Watch TV' by Rasputina." She told her. House turned off the video.

"She's really talented." House told him.

"She gets that from you." Wilson said with a smile. For the next ten minutes they watched her YouTube channel before Wilson had to go. Not too far behind him Chase and Madison came back.

"She has a clean bill of health." Chase told House. Madison sat down in the chair in her father's office and waved bye to Chase as he left the room, no doubt to tell the other team members everything little bit of information he had gotten from the girl.

"Clean bill of health?" House asked her.

"Yeah..." She replied, texting on her phone. She stopped, it beeped and House sighed at the girl's texting conversation. For forty minutes she sat on his chair, eavesdropping on her father and his team, and texted.

"Hey Madison." Wilson said when he came back into the office. "How was your first day at school?" Madison put her phone in her hoodie pocket.

"It was good, I got a little lost a few times. Ruffled the feathers on the social food chain by eating lunch with the quarterback. Planning to de-thrown the reigning queen of the cello section and challenge her next week. The football coach also drafted me into tutoring the previously mentioned quarterback when he saw my SAT scores from earlier this year." Madison reported.

"You already took the SAT?" Wilson asked her.

"Yep."

"What was your score?" He asked.

"You'll have to find that out yourself." She told him.

"So it was a good day?" He asked her.

"Yeah, it was cool. I've established a place as the alternative, punkish, emoy girl from the city. I think I'll make a few friends and enemies during the week." She told him. "Oh, I also joined the photography club." She told him.

"That's cool, I guess." He replied. Madison took her Canon Rebel out of her bag and took a picture of Wilson.

"That turned out good." She said, looking at the picture. "Cool." She turned to her father and took a picture of him too. "Cool...that was a funny picture." She put her camera down to look at her father and step-father. "I have some stuff in Manhattan I need to get and sell. Can one of you help me? No one wants to buy a car from a 16-year-old." She told them.

"Yeah, sure." House said. Wilson was happy that the two would be spending some quality time together. "You're going too Wilson." He told him. Well, now the three of them would be spending quality time together.
