A/N: Thanks for the reviews this is actually turning into something intresting. I am still not sure where this is headed. But being sick right now myself ceretaintly hasn't limited my creativity.
Oh Doctor Who and Doctor House are not mine. But I sure wish I could have David Tennet and Hugh Laurie

Chapter 3
House entered the room and scanned around looking at all the doctors that were gathered. Foreman, sat down waiting, Cuddy sure had made a mistake putting him in charge lately. Chase and Cameron were talking amongst themselves, smiles on both their faces and House shook his head, "Get a room…."
He then turned his focus on his whiteboard and frowned, in black marker was written:
A banana a day keeps Doctor House away
He frowned and then began to look for the guilty party. He turned his gaze at Forman who had a slight smile on his face. "Forman is this your idea of a joke."
Forman replied calmly, "House I don't pretend to understand you so why would I write something like that ?"
Chase and Cameron were smirking lightly to themselves and House turned to find the Doctor sitting down very calmly eating a banana and a slight grin on his face.
"Orphan would you refrain from writing comments on my board."
The doctor got up and placed the peel on the edge of the white board, "Why?"
House looked at the Doctor, debating on whether to take his cane and do something violent with it or see if he could match wits with this new guy. He then wacked his cane on a table nearby. "Well for starters it's an apple a day."
The Doctor smirked,"Oh but apples are so boring and ordinary. Bananas, on the other hand are a good source of postassium, not to mention a wonderful conversation piece. And if you can pleae call me John Smith or Doctor, not necessarily in that order, then maybe I'll actually consider not writing on your stark white and very ordinary board."
House cleaned the board. Meanwhile the other doctors were snickering lightly, had House actually met his match. Maybe this new doctor could actually handle House better than they could.
House paused for a moment, "Fine, Doctor Smith. But I did so much like calling you Orphan."
"Why?"
"Because everyone knows that orphans are not wanted by their parents."
Cameron finally spoke up,"House, you know that's not true. There are so many orphans out there that have either lost their parents or other parents out there through no fault of their own can not keep their children. That doesn't mean that they are not wanted or loved by them."
She placed a hand on the Doctor's sholder and he smiled lightly at her, he had intended a snappy compback at this arrogant human, but she spoke up in his defense.
"Cameron, always coming to the defense of the weak and little puppy dogs. Name one parent who gave up their child who actually wanted them?"
Cameron could not come up with an answer and House smiled, "I rest my case."
He twirlled his cane and the Doctor rolled his eyes a bit. This human really needed to be taken down a peg or two, maybe even three.
House then turned towards Foreman, "Forman, what have we got?"
Foreman looked at the file he had pulled up and he read the case,"Fifteen year old adolscent, name: Julie Williams. She was biking with her friends on the outskirts of town by an old woods. Julie and her friends believed they heard something in the woods and they left there bikes by the edge of the road and went exploring after it. They accidently got split up but later on they found Julie with a rash on her body, passed out, and not breathing. One of the girls knew CPR and was able to keep her going till the abulance arrived. She has been put on Epinephrine but that has seemed to make the problem worse. She's gone into a coma and has been unresponsive."
Chase spoke,"It's a classive allergic reaction. Probably from stinging nettles, Posion Ivy, Sumack or even Oak."
Cameron suddenly spoke up, "But she should be responding to Epinephrine, she should be awake and not in a Coma.."
Forman quickly added,"But the report states that Juile was nowhere near any plants that would have caused her to have an allergic reaction."
The Doctor smiled lightly, humans were so brilliant at times, although even they could be stumped by even the smallest thing. "What about spores? They are airborn and can cause allergic reactions and cause respitory problems."
Cameron looked at the Doctor and then added."But spores are generally active only during certain times of the year, usually during the spring or early to late fall. It's summer And it doesn't explain why her friends haven't been affected as well."
The Doctor was about to add, maybe on this planet, but he decided not to add that possibility just yet, he didn't want to alarm the humans. Maybe just maybe, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary. The Doctor then said, "Who said they haven't? Has anyone checked to see if they have?"
Meanwhile House was writing on his board.
Allergies.- Allergic reaction
Spores??
House then turned to his group, "Okay so Julie has an allergic reaction to something in the woods that causes her to pass out and have a rash. She's not responding to the standard treatment, in fact she's gotten worse. So now we have to determine if it's…."
He turned and wrote on the board.
Animal
Vegtable
Mineral
The Doctor looked on at House, this guy was not bad. Despite the fact he was an arrogant as….well he couldn't think of what he was as arrogant as, maybe this guy thought he was so brilliant that he defied even his own idea of what arrogant could be. But at least he was wittling down the possibilities.
"Animal. That means anything out there in the woods, to Juile's parents, and even her friends."
"Cameron, Chase you go talk to the parents and her friends. Test them even to see if they might have something that might be causeing the problem."
"Doctor Smith, you seem like a nature lover to me. Go out in the woods and look for any green stuff or ground stuff that might be causing the problem, as well as any forest life."
"Foreman run some tests on that girl from top to bottom. Take skin samples, hair samples, blood samples. And see if we can find any foreign matter that may be causing this girl problems."
House then added,"Have fun…." The doctors then got up and went off to preform their established tasks.
The Doctor still hung around and House frowned,"So Doctor Smith is still around to bug me. Why don't you take your banana peel and split?" House reached into his pocket and took out a pill bottle filled with Vicodin and opened it and put a few pills into his hand and began to crunch down on them.
The Doctor frowned and looked breifly at his leg. Clearly what ever this guy's problem was he was clearly in a lot of pain. That might explain his acidic nature towards everyone. He then added,"House, I think we are dealing with a problem that's more than an allergic reaction."
House nodded,"Really? And what would that be Sherlock?"
The Doctor sighed, this guy was really getting on his nerves ever time he tried to talk seriously with him, he added a sarcastic and acidic comment. "Never mind…"
The Doctor turned and walked off and House caught up with him, "No, wait…what do you think the problem is?"
The Doctor looked at House, he doubted that this guy would believe him and he said,"Aliens."
House threw up his head and laughed,"Oh that's great. Cuddy has hired a nut case. Honestly, you're just as bad as Chase at times. That's all I need another doctor who believes in little green men. Go on Doctor smith, go find little green plants, maybe they'll explain why our patient is comatose and not responding to normal treatment."
The Doctor sighed, he figured that this arrogant pompous windbag wouldn't believe him and he shook his head and wandered off.

A/N so what do you think?
And for those that don't know Chase believes in aliens, or at least did at some point in time, so I am so going to exploit that fact in later chapters.
