I woke up early this morning, cold and lonely. I looked at my bedside, to find Cyborg Noodle there making sure I wouldn't leave.

"Isn't there anything else you want to do besides staring at me all night?" I asked her. She didn't move for the longest time so I thought her batteries died or shorted out again. She then jerked her head and I heard what seemed like a human moan, but it was more just her endoskeleton creaking.

"I have to listen to what Master Murdoc says do I not?" She replied. I suppose that could be true if Murdoc wasn't insane! Though I don't blame her, he built her so she knows him as either a master or a father. I just looked and shrugged at her. I wanted to say something, but fearing she'd hit me I didn't say anything.

"I suppose you're right Cyborg, I mean I would run if I had the chance." She looked at me and laughed, though it sounded so animatronic like that I couldn't picture her as the real deal Noodle, just a replica. She then pointed to my table and kinda looked back at me puzzled.

"Who's that 2-D? She looks a lot like me." She was looking at this photo that was taking almost twenty years ago on the filming of "Tomorrow Comes Today" but this photo was never released cause I suppose at that time I thought it was embarrassing. Then again Noodle was eleven or twelve and new to the England territory so I guess I couldn't blame her for not knowing what to do about what happened. So there it was her looking at a video camera as I'm pinned under it cause Murdoc pushed it over on top of me. In that picture I was pleading for help but Noodle spoke three words of English and help was not one of those words.

"That Cyborg is the real Noodle" I replied. She deeply stared at the photo like the photo was going to look back at her. "Cyborg, you ok love?"

"I guess, but does this mean I'm just a cheap piece of broken scrap?" You could tell she wanted to cry, but she didn't have a power to do that. I don't know what would she have cried, oil? Oh no no no that's a terrible thing for me to think about.

"No love, you're just like her, you don't need to be her." I don't know if that sounded selfish or not, though I guess I took a big plunge to say that. She looked at me though, and smiled. "You right 2-D, I agree with those facts."

We moved up to the dock where we saw something moving steadily fast towards us.

"Please don't be a whale...please don't be a whale." I was pleading and crying right next to her. Any man would be embarrassed about that, but I wasn't. I guess it's cause I've cried in front of the real Noodle before and I'm just use to it. She laughed and said "Giant head." Giant head?

Looking and squinting trying to make this out indeed she was right, there was a significant image of a head, though I couldn't make it out. All of sudden a telescope whipped out next to me. "God bloody darn it Murdoc, can't you be careful with that, you're gonna hurt someo-"

"Shut up face ache." He replied. Of course I'm use to this, being called face ache. He's called me that for twenty years. He expanded the telescope to look farther in the direction we were staring at. "Holy god it's... Russell?" I was so confused, I thought he died after the El Mañana incident.

"Oh my god..." Was my response. It was so unreal, I couldn't even imagine him coming up to the surface like that, but he did.

"Yo." He said, his mouth gaping with water falling out, as something more insane floated out on a little raft strumming guitar.

"Russell where the fuck have you been?!" Murdoc never ceased to be vulgar as he was. Though cyborg walked up to the woman that came outta his mouth and looked at her.

"Hi." She said to her. The woman lifted up her mask.

"How many years have I been away from that asshole and my love?" She replied. The voice sounded so familiar but I couldn't place it.

"You like master Murdoc?" She asked.

"No dear, 2-D is my love." The woman said.

"I'm Cyborg Noodle, Murdoc is my master."

"How selfish and wrong!" The woman exclaimed.

"Why? I don't like him, I just listen to him."

"Well I did the same thing and I'm the same way cause I'm the REAL Noodle."
