Round Robin fic, part five

Apologies for taking so long. This is a bit short of the 300 word guideline, but then, I'm a bit short on time lately, so it is what it is.

Next up is blueheronz.

I just realized the first three parts of this are in present tense. I guess I should change mine too. But doudoute's part is also in past tense. Maybe each person should remind the next person of the present tense. (I just let blueheronz know.)

I noticed that the tense changes (changed, lol) based on who was writing. I already started my part, and it is in present tense. There should be some uniformity in the story and it would have been nice to have a single story beta to oversee it -- but I'm new to this ball game so I'm just going with the flow.

Tagged, I'm it.

Love the snarky last line, Athousandsmiles.

I have to admit, after reading this so far, I'm still clueless: what was the bet???? Do I even need to know to write my part of the story? If anyone can clarify the basic plot, I'd appreciate it. House tries to get Cameron to do clinic duty. She asks him to bet "on her." Agrees to do some clinic duty for him. Tricks House into seeing a patient?

*Is confused*

If I understand correctly, House tried to order Cameron to do his clinic duty, accusing her of being a pushover. She insisted she's not a pushover and is capable of breaking rules and/or saying no/manipulating. She made a bet that if she proves this to him, he has to spend five hours with her. If she loses, she has to do five hours of his clinic duty.

And then, despite all that she still agreed to do his current clinic duty. The next sequence of events is where I get a bit lost, but a clinic patient gives House monster truck tickets because he saved her child, or something. Cameron pages him down to see the woman, and Cuddy is there and somehow this is supposed to be embarrassing for House. I don't know exactly. And Cameron had something to do with it. My brain is not firing on all cylinders lately, but that's the gist of it I think.

Then I jumped to House in Wilson's office telling him about all this.

*nods* Yeah, I believe that is the gist of it.

*phew* Thanks.

PS: Thanks for your other comment too. :D

Sqeee! Classic Wilson/House banter. Thanks for the addition.

"By the way, hope you've insured what's left of your testicles. Cuddy the she-devil demands a sacrifice after mating."

LMAO

I SO heart you for this chapter!
