It is Spring Break week here in Kansas. I graduated last year from college, so this makes me really miss school because I have to work all this week. I also miss not having to get up until 9:00. At least it is supposed to be warm this week so I do not have to worry about ice on the car.

Warning

10:00am

Cuddy and House were sitting in the auditorium listening to the latest speaker. Cuddy was happy that she had been able to keep House pretty much under control the whole day. Cuddy looked over at House and then reached up to grab the pencils he had stuck up his nose.

"Didn't your mom ever teach you not to stick things up your nose?" Cuddy whispered to House.

"I only remember her telling me to stop sticking the Legos up my nose," House whispered back. "That was about the time she told me to stop eating the Play-Doh."

"It is amazing that you turned out smart," Cuddy said. Cuddy and House turned their attention back to the stage when they heard the audience clapping.

"I think I am going to literally die of bored here," House said to Cuddy.

"If you look like you are starting to die, I'll slap you in the face," Cuddy said.

"Thanks," House said. House lets out a giant sigh as the next speaker starts to talk. House turned and stared at Cuddy.

Cuddy felt the eyes on her and turned and looked at him. "Stop staring at me," Cuddy said.

"You're pretty," House said.

"We are not leaving early," Cuddy said.

"Damn it," House said as he stared back at the boring man on stage. House spent the rest of that guy's speech counting the bald people in the audience.

When that guy was done, instead of the next speaker taking the stage, another man took the stage. "Can I have everyone's attention?" He said to the audience. "Due to the threat of severe weather in the area, the rest of today's conference has been canceled. Please drive back to your hotels carefully."

"So what do you want to do back at the hotel?" House asked Cuddy. "I am thinking having a lot of sex."

"I am thinking that sounds like a plan," Cuddy said to House with a smile as she got up from her seat.

House and Cuddy headed to the exit of the building.

"Spooky," House said when they saw the sky that had turned pretty dark.

"I hope they have the power back on at the hotel," Cuddy said as they headed out to the car. Even though the sky was dark, it was no longer raining.

"We do not need power for what I am planning on doing to you," House said. House and Cuddy got into their car and started heading back to their hotel.

"Do you want to stop and get some lunch?" Cuddy asked House.

"I saw a sign for a Burger King at the next exit," House said. "I am in the mood for a bacon cheeseburger." Cuddy pulled off at the next exit and went to Burger King. In the restaurant, House and Cuddy sat by the waterfall where you were supposed to throw a coin in for the children's hospital."

"We need to get one of these at the hospital," House said.

"So you can sit in front of it all day instead of doing your clinic duty?" Cuddy asked.

"It will help me think," House said. "It is very soothing. You can have it so that people throw money in it too so that the hospital gets something out of it."

"I will remember to mention this to the board," Cuddy said.

"I have a feeling you are lying," House said.

"That's because eating Play-Doh apparently makes it so that you are good at reading people," Cuddy said.

"I think that is from me eating Elmer's glue," House said.

"You were one stupid kid," Cuddy said laughing.

"I know," House said. "I used to suck on the rubber tires of my model cars. I blame all of this on the beatings to the head." Cuddy knew that House was talking about his father, but she also knew that if he ever did want to talk abut it, it would not be in a busy restaurant.

"Can I have one of your fries?" Cuddy asked.

"You should have ordered your own," House said.

"Please?" Cuddy asked as she pouted her lips and batted her eyes.

"Fine," House said. "You should save some of your begging for later, though."

After House and Cuddy were finished eating, they head back to their car and Cuddy headed them back to the hotel. A light drizzle had started to fall down.

When they were a few miles from the hotel, House suddenly turned off the radio.

"Why did you turn the radio off?" Cuddy asked House as he rolled down his window.

"I wanted to see if the tornado sirens were going off," House said. They listened and they did not hear anything.

"We're fine," Cuddy said.

"As long as you drive faster," House said pointing out the driver's side window. Cuddy's heart started beating a mile a minute when she saw the tornado a few miles from them. Cuddy immediately accelerated. House and Cuddy then heard the sirens go off.

"Aren't the sirens supposed to go off before you see the tornado?" Cuddy asked. House was looking at the tornado mesmerized.

"Haven't you ever seen the movie Twister?" House asked. "They can't always predict a tornado. That reminds me that you need to watch out for flying cows."

"This is not funny House," Cuddy said.

"We are almost back to the hotel," House said. "Just keep driving the way you are." Cuddy kept glancing up at the tornado. She had seen the movie Twister and it had scared the crap out of her. It didn't help that in the very first scene of the movie Helen Hunt's dad died in a tornado.

The rain started pouring down a lot harder. The hail started up soon after that.

"Those are about the size of softballs," House said as the hail beat down on the car. "I hope you got insurance when you rented this car." Both House and Cuddy jumped when a giant flash of lightening came down.

"Good thing we had sex in the rain last night because after this I am going to hate the rain forever," Cuddy said.

"That is so cool," House said as the tornado split into two smaller tornados.

"I am glad that you are enjoying this," Cuddy said.

"Did you want me to curl up in the backseat and cry?" House asked.

"Maybe we should pull over somewhere House," Cuddy said. "There is an underpass coming up."

"Don't do that," House said. "People who tell you to go under a bridge in a tornado are idiots. The tornado will suck you right out. I heard about it on the weather channel."

"What are you supposed to do when you are driving and a tornado comes?" Cuddy asked.

"Try to find shelter or get into a ditch," House said. Cuddy pulled onto their exit and sped up the ramp. Other cars on the highway followed her. Cuddy quickly got onto the main road and headed to their hotel. House and Cuddy saw the wind pick up all of a sudden. Cuddy was happy when she could see their hotel. Cuddy ran a red light and pulled into the hotel's parking lot. House and Cuddy saw a few of the other guests running towards the hotel with leaves and debris flying all around.

I know I am evil for ending here.
