It's been at least two weeks since Noodle's arrival on the Plastic Beach. In that time period, the building was repaired from the last pirate attack. Murdoc still kept 2D locked in his bedroom for the times he wasn't needed, and Russel was still too big to even enter the building. The robot still hung around, playing secondary guitar in the studio and watching music videos on the big screen, while leaving the intruder lookout duties to Russel. Noodle didn't mind the robot, the fact that it was modeled after a younger Noodle didn't bother her. All that cared was that the robot finally met her 'Mommy': to Noodle, that's just downright cute. This really annoyed Murdoc, mainly because his own creation was switching sides, but also because he anticipated one of the Noodles' demise and was turned down. Otherwise, everything was back to normal, and the album's recording sessions went ahead as planned.
Noodle had her bedroom set up in the broom closet where Cyborg charges her batteries every night. It was conveniently a short eleva...ugh...lift ride away to 2D's bedroom, one floor below. Noodle felt a bit worried about 2D; even though the whale was gone, 2D believed that it was only a matter of time before Murdoc hired another whale to keep watch on him. So after finishing up her futon, Noodle set off for 2D's room to comfort him.
Just as she thought, 2D was found shivering with fear by the open window.
"Can yew luk owtsoide and see if he sent anover whale?" 2D said nervously.
Noodle looked through the window, into the ocean outside. It was empty. She shook her head 'no', and shut the blinds.
"Oh fank yew soo mach. I hate whales," 2D hates whales.
Noodle gave him a hug and a kiss.
"Do yew wanna watch a zumbee film wiff me?" he asked, "I juss gotta BLEWW RAYYYYY! of 'Nawt offa Wivvin Dead'."
"I'll watch anything with you, 'toochie'," said Noodle.
So they watched the movie on 2D's small portable TV (retrofitted for HD). Despite the cheap, obviously bad special effects, Noodle and 2D were genuinely scared. Noodle got closer to 2D and started cuddling with him (out of fear). Eventually the movie ended, and then came more cuddling... then kissing... then groping... then bouncing... and that's all she wrote.
Finally, amid relaxation, a noise sounded over a speaker. It was Murdoc. Who else?
"Oy, 'Faceache'! Go find Newdull and telluh dinnuh's ready," he yelled.
