100fandoms thing. I'm actually having great fun. Today's challenge: tackling the ridiculously difficult #50, 'koala'. Now, this is unashameably BAD. It really, really is. If you want good House fic, go on over to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
monanotlisa, who is writing some cracking House/Wilson stuff. This is neither cracking nor House/Wilson. Nope. But at least the dreaded 'koala' prompt is gone.

House thinks that Chase probably named his surfboard. (That Chase has a surfboard at all is not really in question.) If he tips his head to one side, the sitting Chase, arms crossed over his white lab coat, is magically in the correct position for riding a wave, and House laughs at how stupid he looks. The ducklings pause in whatever meaningless noises they were making and look at him, before turning back to attempting to diagnose the patient with something other than the blindingly obvious. The window is wide open, because even New Jersey gets piping hot in the summer and the breeze catches Chase's surfer-boy hair and flicks it up, so it's sticking out in odd angles. House amuses himself by thinking that it probably looks even more stupid when Chase is on a surfboard - a surfboard with a name, he reminds himself, probably something wildly British or Kiwi-inspired like 'Bethany', or 'Evilest Koala in the World' - and he doesn't actually hear Cameron come out with something not terribly stupid.
" - stop speaking." She looked at him. "And say it again. What?"
She hesitated, looking unsure suddenly. "I mean, it would account for the elevated blood pressure -"
Nonsense. He went back to ignoring the slow of gurgle brain-death that came tumbling out of the ducklings' mouths. Maybe not 'Evilest Koala', although that definitely had something to it. Chase had grabbed on the moment he'd arrived and had refused to let go, even when threatened with extreme sarcasm. Frankly, House was getting a little tired of it all. He wished that Chase would hurry up with this protracted 'spying' business.
"What did you name your surfboard?" He asked abruptly.
Chase blinked. "What?"
"Your surfboard. I'm assuming that you're still a rad surfer, man." He did a little wiggle with his hand, middle fingers folded under and thumb and pinky sticking out.
Chase followed the motion with his eyes, a slow flush spreading across his cheekbones. "I never surfed," he said defensively.
"Huh."
"I think the patient surfed," Foreman said slowly.
"What you mean to say is, the patient has a tattoo of a surfer and why would anyone have that stuck on their ass unless they held it near and dear to their heart?" House caught Cameron's expression. "Ah, someone has done their quota of espionage for the week." Smiling suddenly, House nodded. "Off you go."
Chase was still looking bewildered while a slow smile stretched across Cameron's face and she snatched up the patient's folder.
"What's going on?" Foreman asked, confused, as they headed out.
"He does surf - and the tattoo included the surfboard's name."
"So?"
"It's 'Mary Jane'!"
"Stop a second," Chase pushed the door open, "isn't that his dog's name?"
The door closed behind them, and their voices abruptly faded. "Would you call your surfboard after your dog?"
"I never surfed!"
House snorted, and surveyed his kingdom once again. "Methinks the surfer-boy doth protest too much," he murmured, and promptly lost interest as he caught sight of the clock on the far wall. General Hospital would be on any minute, and a man had to have priorities.

Hey, blame the person who suggested it. I just decided to leave it in ...

I think the 'koala' prompt could inspire people to write in all kinds of weird Australian-type fandoms.
