Hmmmm..not too deep. No stitches.

What about rabies?

From a bunny?

Rabbits can have rabies.

Bunnies at a petting zoo do not carry rabies.

They could.

If they did, all four year olds would be rabid. Hmmm… maybe you’re on to something there.

Are you done wrapping it?

Almost. Why did Cujo bite you?

I don't know, I was just stroking his ears.

Should have petted the goats instead.

They always try to eat my shirt.

Like I said, you should have petted the goats.

Very funny, House.

All done. Can we leave the kiddie area now and go on the rides?

I want to go home.

No way, I’m not leaving until I ride every rickety death trap at this carnival. And eaten every fried thing that’s not supposed to be fried.

Fine. But no upside-down rides.

You feeling sick?

I just don’t want fried Oreo vomit all over my car.

Fine. How about bumper cars?

Okay, go buy us tickets.

Why should I buy your tickets?

I'm injured.

It's a bunny bite!

Fine, I'll just wave at you from the sidelines with my injured finger.

It’s your middle finger.

Yep.

I'll go by the tickets, Dr. Doolittle.

LOL! Great dialogue, I love it :) Poor Wilson, bitten by a bunny, he'll never live that down. Personally I never did trust those petting zoos my sister's kids were always dragging me too, especially the goats.

I agree about the goats. They're cute, but they always try to eat my shirt because I don't usually tuck it in; I thought that would work with Wilson as well.

Glad you liked it. :)

OMG! I love this. Your dialogue is always spot-on and IC. And my favorite summer fics are always House and Wilson going to carnivals.

I can defintely see Wilson being concerned over a rabbit bite and the potential for rabies, and House waving it off. I also can imagine House wanting to ride all of the rides, and Wilson worrying about the cleanliness of his car.

Perfect ending, complete with a movie reference. :D

I used to love Dr. Doolittle (the Rex Harrison one, not Eddie Murphy). I think House throws in movie references from time to time because he loves pop culture and it amuses Wilson.

I am pleased you liked the drabble.

I definitely think that House loves pop culture references and uses them to amuse Wilson. Case and point, this quote from "Needle in a Haystack," courtesy of

clinic_duty:

Wilson: Ah yes, if it isn’t Dr. Ironside.

House: (removing gloves) Ah, if it isn’t Dr. I-Had-No-Friends-When-I-Was-Growing-Up-So-All-I-Did-Was-Watch-TV-By-Myself-Which-Is-Why-I-Can-Now-Make-Constant-Pop-Culture-References-Which-No-One-Understands-But-Me.

Wilson: That’s my name. Don’t wear it out.

I loved that exchange. Thanks for reminding me of it. They did so many older pop culture references in the show that I am sure anyone under 30 missed half of them.

LOL - lovely banter. *hee*

(Although I'm with Wilson - bunnies scare the crap out of me.)

Bunnies scare you? Any particular reason why? To me they just seem boring, though I always wonder if they sit there frozen in place letting kids pet them because they are terrified.

I am glad you liked the banter.

When I was a kid, my friend had an albino rabbit, who didn't like being handled. I remember her kitchen being kind of dark and these bright red eyes staring at me from under the sofa. It spooked me.

There are wild rabbits living in the park near me - and they are kind of cute from a distance. Wouldn't want them getting too close though!

And eaten every fried thing that’s not supposed to be fried.
Great line and great banter throughout the story. :)

You just know House would try the fried butter. Yuck!

I'm glad you liked the banter. :)

Hee! So cute, and perfectly IC. :)

Thank you. I think it is in IC because we did see House go to two carnival type things in canon. I am sure he dragged Wilson to many of them.

Hee! I also wonder if House will try the "cabbage and noodles"...which is a huge bowl of noodles covered in some vague buttery substance and a few strips of cabbage. Probably not, if it's not deep-fried.

I bet he did eat that. He seems to love exotic foods of all kinds as well as soup from a can.

I have visions of Monty Python and the killer bunny.

Great banter, and very cheery. :) Thanks for posting!!

I have visions of Monty Python and the killer bunny.

LOL. It might not have been that bad for Wilson, but I hear you.

I am glad you enjoyed it. I wanted to do something light.

Very cute. :-)

Thank you. I am happy you liked it. :)

Hee. Bitten by Cujo the Bunny. (OK, Cujo was one scary dog, though.)

The banter was perfect - Great job!

Yeah, Cujo was one scary dog, but I think this was just a wee exaggeration on House's part. House loves his pop culture references.

I'm glad you like the banter. :)

Awk! Haha love the ending, and the fact that Wilson somehow manages to get one-up on House here.

Glad you liked it. Wilson always gets something up on House eventually.
