Cameron enjoyed the drive in the car House called Vampire Jane. The classic

convertible was a gift from the brother of a mafia head. There had been a lot of

controversy over the car, but then again, when had House not been controversial. The top

down on the car and the music flowing made

life seem great. Every now and again she'd glance over to see House sleeping soundly.

So much for her idea of breaking him on the drive up. When she'd gone about forty five

minutes, he sat up suddenly and fiercely. Despite the fact that the top had been down the

entire time, he was sweating. She nearly forgot the bet.

"Hard to have wet dreams in a moving vehicle, huh?"

"I was afraid for your safety. I didn't want to put an eye out."

"This bet is really killing you isn't it?"

"I bet it's worse for you, since you enjoy being nice."

"Yeah well from the looks of it, your dreams are taking advantage of your

niceness."

"I need some coffee. Judging by the look of it, you should be getting close to a Sunoco station in about two miles."

At the station, Cameron grabbed a bottle of water and an orange juice. House to

her amazement bought not only coffee, but at least five Milky Way Darks, three packs of

Spearmint gum, and a bottle of water also.

"Are you afraid they'll ban the sale of chocolate and bubblegum in Jersey?"

"Ah well that all depends on who runs for mayor next term. Until then I need smore food."

"Hate to tell you this House, but you make smores with Hershey bars, not Milky Ways."

"And next you'll proceed to tell me that you pour Hershey's syrup on pancakes. I'll teach you how to make a real smore."

They left the station after House took Lusha to a small grassy area. He then

insisted upon driving, and Cameron thought she'd won the bet when he tried to get his

point across. He stunned her by telling her that he appreciated the driving she'd done and

he would not let even Wilson drive Vampire Jane.

"You wanna play a little game?" He asked her once they were back on the road.

"Like what?"

"We'll play, What's your favorite? We can take turns asking favorite things. No questions are out. Are you game?"

"Ok let's do it. Who asks first?"

"Paper, rock, scissors."

Cameron won with rock over scissors. She chose to ask him the question first.

"Favorite Jimmy Buffett song?"

"Toss up between Steamer and Pirates Life at 40. I guess I'll go with Steamer. Who's your favorite General Hospital character?"

"Luke of course. He's in his 50's and still gorgeous."

"Funny, I pegged you for an Edward Quartermaine fan."

"He's old!"

"And I can't comment till tomorrow."

"Ok hot shot who's your favorite actress?"

"Gates McFadden on Star Trek TNG. Killer thighs, wild red hair, and she digs guys that have no hair, so no hair plugs for me. Favorite cartoon character?"

"Pepe Le Pew. Very romantic, very misunderstood. Favorite movie?"

"The Lost Boys. Keifer Sutherland's a kick-ass actor and the music rocks."

"What's with your obsession with vampires?"

"I am one. Better guard your neck, I go straight for the jugular. Favorite place to be kissed?"

Cameron couldn't help but shoot him a look. The question surprised her.

"Don't tell me you're getting shy? Not the same woman I found passionately kissing her peer in a hospital room."

"My lips naturally."

"Too obvious an answer; besides there are at least ten erogenous spots on a

woman. So let's see, I would guess your neck is one, behind the ears is another, the inside

of your thighs are three, your wrists are another, and your ultra sensitive place is the nape

of your neck. I take that from the fact that you like to pull your hair back. That gives two

signals either your hair tickles your neck and you just can't stand it or you use it as a

mating call."

"I think you almost came close to losing the bet, but since you're pathetically easy

right now, I'm turning your question back on you. Where's your favorite place to be

kissed?"

"Las Vegas."

"Oh that was a cheap shot."

"It's what I meant all along. You twisted it around and I just played with it.

Again, a comment saved on my mental white board for tomorrow."

"Now getting back to our game, favorite ice cream flavor?"

"Rocky Road. Favorite drug in college?"

"Oh we were naughty in college, sorry to disappoint your need for………Never mind…..my only addiction in college was the legs on Professor Crandall. Favorite candy?"

"Oh you aren't going to be able to handle this much longer. You're slipping." She said laughing. I like Tootsie Pops. What's yours?"

"Reese's Pieces. It's an E.T thing. And don't be so sure I'm slipping. Your halo is starting to peak. Favorite song ever?"

"I don't care what you say; red leather or a halo, I'm still not playing into your fantasies. My favorite song is "Baby Love" by The Supremes. What's yours?"

"No sorry, red leather fantasy is on Thursday's. Today is Friday. And Friday fantasy day is purple latex. If you care to indulge, there is an adult novelty store not too far from here. My favorite song ever is Rocket Man by Elton John. Favorite hotel in Vegas?"

"The day I wear purple latex is the day you start running down Grand Ave in your boxer shorts. Rocket Man fits you perfectly and I like Elton John. My favorite hotel in Vegas is the MGM Grand because I love lions, which is a free one because they are my favorite animals. Favorite place for a romantic date?"

"You only say that now because my leg's on the injured list again, but it's only a matter of time. And I'm a boxer-brief kinda guy. Can't afford to have Seymour hanging loose when I go get the paper in the morning. Mrs. Murphy may be 73 but she's still hot rod for my bod, Al. And my house is as romantic as it gets. Favorite-."

He stopped short when his cell phone began to ring. His ringer of choice was AC/DC's Hell's Bells. He glanced at his phone and pressed the mute key on the side.

"Lucky number thirteen. The poodles never stop barking when the big dog isn't around to satisfy. Where were we? Oh yeah favorite movie line?"

Cameron was still very much intrigued who was calling, but she didn't question it. She did, however pick up on him calling her Al.

"I've reordered time, turned the world upside down, and I've done it all for you. I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. That's from Labyrinth. I was so in love with David Bowie."

"Yeah till you decided you wanted to climb Mt. Gregory, that is."

"Oh but you rejected that theory and Mt. Chase is just as good."

"You have just sealed your doom. I can't believe you'd give me that much ammo. I just hope when I break the seal, the jalapenos still have their kick. This game isn't over by far. This mountain makes Everest look like Amarillo."

"Take your best shot House. I leap mountains like Superman leaps tall buildings."

"Oh that's why purple latex doesn't appeal to you, you're a blue spandex kinda girl."

"Let me guess. Wednesday is blue spandex night."

With an overly attempted wink he said. "It is now!"
