hehe. seems like someone else thought that the 24 hour thing was a good idea. what if we tried to help you come up with titles? like the missing hour (no idea what the plot to that one would be) or the twenty fifth hour (as in the non existant hour... dunno) dinner hour (darn! forgot.) shady hour (I'm trying!) lunch hour (fries anyone?) shew. give me a while. I'll come up with something for you!

Great job, I loved the whole bike story. Looks like Wilson's finally learning about his bestfriend...

already did 'lunch hour' too. and... i can't even come up with twenty-four, and you suggest twenty-five??? i, uh... think not. ;)

[fyre_rayne]

no no i didn't mean that that would be the 25th... like the thirteenth hour... non existant... I'm confusing myself now...

Yay for five more of these! :D
I loved the story of Wilson and his brother and how you explained House's moral code. That's definitely how he is, and nothing from him ever comes in a traditional package.

[kidsnurse]

i am so glad that you kids are liking this one; 'twas a thorn in my side for days.....

[arhh]

And then he realizes that maybe he’s been wrong to feel that way; maybe Wilson simply didn’t recognize the concern. Nothing from House ever comes wrapped in the traditional package.

Just perfect, my favorite line in this one, sums House and, in a way, House's feelings for Wilson up perfectly. *hugs Wilson*, glad he finally gets it.

[kidsnurse]

glad he finally gets it

me too; took him long enough! (and by that, i mean the hell he put me through writing this one!!) ;)

[axistentialism]

Jeez. I cried. AGAIN. Maybe I'm just a sissy?

But Wilson's memory seriously brought me to tears. So sweet. A situation played out (though under different circumstances) by my sister and I several times. ::sigh::

House calls it an evolutionary incentive. Wilson calls it a moral imperative. But, Wilson realizes, it all comes down to his own words- the words House had echoed back to him when he’d visited House in rehab: That’s what friends do.

Yes! YES! That's all I can think of to say. I, as always, sing your praises. I'll be sad to see this series end.

I'll be sad to see this series end.

but i think you'll really like the ones coming up--and the way it ends! :)

Still reading and loving!

You might want to change the phrasing in "what he’d forgotten is that his unique friend tends to cloak it well." Maybe: 'tended to cloak' or just: 'cloaked it well.'

[kidsnurse]

not seeing the problem with the phrase? he had forgotten (and is now remembering) that house (still) cloaks it well. am i missing something? just as i had forgotten that my son has a dental appt next week! :)

and glad you're still reading, as i think i must've rambled on too long! ;)

English classes were a l-o-n-g time ago, but what I think is bothering me is the disagreement in tenses re 'had' and 'tends.'

[blackmare]

Hm. Um ... I really, really don't mean to be a twit, Starhanyou ... but by that logic you ought not have written:

English classes were a l-o-n-g time ago, but what I think is bothering me is the disagreement in tenses re 'had' and 'tends.'

You will note that "were" is past tense, whereas "think is" is in the present; a clear disagreement, no? :-) These things happen all the time in English, and while I'm very sensitive to most gaffes, the sentence that's bothering you did not bother me in the slightest. I believe it's perfectly correct and conveys its meaning quite well.
