Oh and Noodle's speaking Japanese in the beginning but here it's translated so you can understand her

"Die Godzilla!" Noodle cried as her dinosaur toy collided with a pterodactyl. "Ach you got me!" she made the Godzilla talk in a big deep growling voice, "You big meanie!"

"I'm not the one who keeps coming back to destroy Tokyo 50 million times!" She made the pterodactyl retort in a high squeaky voice. "That's it you're hot wings!" she growled and made her Godzilla bite the flying reptile's wing.

Young Noodle was out in the corridor, i.e. hallway, playing with her dinosaur toys making crashing and airplane noises, she smiled as she picked up her Godzilla toy from a humiliating defeat. "That's okay", she hugged her inanimate object. "I still love you". She picked up her pterodactyl and hugged it too carrying it in her other arm. "I'm hungry", she patted her stomach. "And nothing says hungry like good dumpling for snack".

Noodle tucked her violet hair behind her ear while straightening her radio helmet as she was on her way to the kitchen with her dinosaur toys when her ears picked up a strange sound. It sounded muffled and silent but Noodle knew right away where it was coming from.

She walked the other way till her feet led her to a closet. The strange noise was coming from there, she thought and carrying her toys in her right arm she used the other one to slowly turn the knob and open it silently finding coats, coat hangers and below them a tall person with blue hair sitting down hunched over making strange breathing noises. He looked up startled when the door opened and quickly relaxed when he saw Noodle in front of him.

He hastily wiped his eyes with his sleeve, "Oh hey there little love". He sniffed trying to sound cheerful. "I didn't, hear you coming I…was just looking for my jacket".

Noodle just stared at him blankly in silence till he slumped down with a sigh while his eyes started to water again. "I guess you didn't believe that did you?" he croaked hoarsely starting to break down again.

"Why…2D sad?" the Japanese girl asked coming towards him. He choked back a sob while trying to put on a smile, "It's nothing Noodle I just…" he tried to find an excuse while hiding his more bruised up eyes than usual.

"Murdoc hurt you?" she asked noticing new burns on his arms. He slowly nodded while trying to contain it, "Y-yes but…I'm more hurt…here". He pointed at his chest meaning his heart. Noodle nodded in understanding and took a step towards him till she cupped his face in her hands. 2D was a bit surprised at her action but was entranced at her eyes while she raked her fingers through his hair. Somehow the way she was touching him seemed to calm him down, and had no reason to cry anymore.

After a few minutes of light caressing from the ten year old she stopped. "2D better?" she asked softly. The singer nodded. "Yes, I think I am", he sniffed wiping a stray tear from his dark eyes. "Thanks Noodle".

The girl smiled and handed him her Godzilla toy. "Hug 2D", she offered. 2D chuckled which sounded a little like a sob while rubbing his drippy nose, "It's okay love, I'm all right". Noodle shrugged and took his hand to help him up and out of the dark closet hiding place.

"Why 2D's heart hurt?" she asked him as they were on their way to the kitchen. The singer's eyes showed pain and looked down at the girl wondering what to say. "I…was just…it's complicated Noodle I don't know if I should…tell you", he dropped his voice to a whisper.

"Tell me please", she took his hand like a little girl sticking to her big brother and swinging their arms back and forth like on a play date. 2D gave a slow sad sigh closing his eyes, then after a few seconds opened them and kneeled down to her eye length while taking out something from his shirt pocket. It was a little golden locket that glimmered in the light as he opened it showing a picture of a girl that looked about a few years older than Noodle.

The girl squinted at the picture. "Who that?" she pointed. 2D's eyes smiled at her. "Someone I knew a long time ago…" he told her while licking his gums where his front teeth should've been. "I just found it this morning and…it brought back a few memories". His lip started to tremble like he was going to cry again but managed to steady himself. "But she was beautiful and unique, just like her mum and reminds me a bit of you when I think about her". He bumped her chin with his knuckles playfully.

"What her name?" She asked looking up at him. "Sarah", he sniffed with trembling eyes then took her hands in his and brought her a little bit closer. "In fact can you keep a secret love?" Noodle blinked at him curiously wondering why he was asking her this but slowly nodded and said, "Why?"

"Because…" he hesitated and brought his voice down a little lower, "There's more to the story and…I never told anyone this before". "You can trust Noodle", she promised with an honest smile that made 2D laugh and smile for the first time.

"Okay little love", he squeezed her hands gently and standing up he took her for a walk while beginning his story. "It happened about year ago before I met Murdoc…"

I was going to make this a one shot too, but oh its chapter version again I hate myself! I was going to wait until Christmas to put this up but I decided to write it now...review please
