As it turns out, Vinnie wasn't responsible for the bar in my house - that was just some strange happenstance of the space-time continuum. He did try to steal my biology paper though, but, as it turns out, he learned his lesson and ended up writing the paper himself. Sometimes those life lessons do get through.

"And sometimes I end up walking into a bar instead of a patient's room. What is with this place?"

Seventeen year old doctor wearing his lab coat and carrying a clipboard looking mildly annoyed at his re-entry to Milliways.

"Hey, it's a magic bar. One never knows what might come in handy."

"Good point. But I'm not magic, and there's no car dealers around that I know of."

"Damn. You mean, you can't just ask the bar? Like when you dropped the 'script and got your pills..."

Pause dramatically...

"Hey! How'd you do that anyway?"

"Car's a bit bigger than a bottle of pills, son." House laughs. "You said yourself, it's a magic bar. Sentient."

"I said the place was magic. I didn't know that the bar itself was magic."

He narrows his eyes. "Sentient? It's alive?"

"More or less. And trust me, you don't want to pissher off. She'll take care of you, if you take care of her. No sex, no violence, no business in the bar. Whatever happened outside stays outside." He realises he sounds a little bit paternal, and clears his throat.

"Yeah, heard that part already. The rules. The bar thing's still kind of weird."

"You get used to it, after a while."

"Take your word for it."

He flips the chart closed. "I'm kinda beat - long day at work - think I'm gonna turn in for the night. Don't forget about that car."

He grins and starts for the door.

House shakes the bottle of pills. "I won't."

"And please - always medicate responsibly."

He waves back and tugs the door open - he'll walk back into the hospital, but he might be able to sneak out early.

House just shakes his head and stashes the pills in his pocket.
