"WE'RE GOING ON A ROAD TRIP!" Murdoc announced to 2D, Russel, and Noodle, who were all sitting on the couch in the living room, Noodle stretched out on top of 2D and Russel. Russel was finally small enough to fit inside.

"Where to?" Noodle asked.

"To the magical city of New Orleans!" Murdoc said cheerily.

"New Orleans?! Murdoc, do you know where that is?" 2D asked, shocked.

"Of course I do, you dolt!" Murdoc snapped.

"Okay then, are you drunk?!" Russel asked.

"NO! I just thought we needed a little time away from Wobble Street. Now, if you don't wanna come, then we can cancel the trip then…" Murdoc said, knowing they would say they wanted to go.

"That isn't necessary. But New Orleans is in the States. That's a far way from here." Noodle reasoned.

"Yeah Murdoc, I agree." Russel said.

"Come on you guys! Stop being such fuddy-duddies and get packed and ready! We need to go and explore new places." 2D said. They finally let 2D and Murdoc talk them into going.

3 weeks later, the band was all packed and ready fly to the States. They were in the airport ready to board the plane. After being checked, they sat and waited for the plane to arrive. It finally arrived.

"Walk faster, Faceache!" Murdoc rushed 2D, who was struggling with his bags.

"Stop pushing me!" 2D whined after nearly falling from the impact of Murdoc pushing him for a third time.

"Maybe I'll stop pushing you when your sorry arse moves faster!" Murdoc hissed, He then got an idea. While 2D was walking surprisingly a little faster, Murdoc shot his foot out and tripped the poor singer. He erupted in laughter.

A strange woman peered at them. "Hmm, they seem to live with each other and not get along." She said only to herself. "They need to learn how it is to be in each other's shoes." She snickered. "Maybe I'll make that happen, then..."

2D plopped down in the available seat next to Noodle. He peered at what she was drawing in her sketch book. "Whatcha drawin' Noods?

"I'm drawing a random girl." Noodle replied. "I'm thinking about shading it when I am done."

2D got a closer look at the picture. "Wow, that's beautiful." The girl wore a kimono with detailed flower designs on it. She had long, flowing hair, and had the face of an anime character. "You've gotten really good."

Noodle blushed. "Thanks 2D, no one really told me I was that good. Then again, I never really let anyone see my drawings."

"I'm the first one?" 2D asked.

"Yeah." Noodle blushed a bit harder.

A big grin grew on 2D's face. "I feel honored."

"We're here." 2D said in relief.

"Yeah, it feels so nice here." Noodle said.

"I can't wait to learn how to cook all the seafood here!" Russel said.

"I can't wait to see how the booze is here." Murodc said.

They took a cab to the hotel they were going to be staying in. They each had their own master suit. "Our day has only begun. We're about to hit the pavement peeps!" Murdoc said. "So hurry and get settled." He announced, then everyone went their separate ways.

It didn't take long for Noodle to put her bags down and change clothes. She sat on her bed, bored, then got an idea. She got up and skipped towards the door and went to 2D's room. She knocked on the door. He was wearing everything but a shirt. "Hey luv, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just got bored and decided to come here to see what you were doing." Noodle said, smiling at the shirtless front man.

"Oh, well I'm still trying to get settled, and I'm trying to find a shirt." 2D laughed.

"How? You have like, 23 that you've packed up, and a thousand others at home…" Noodle said jokingly.

"Yeah, yeah. Can you help me?" 2D asked.

Once they found a shirt for him to wear and they settled him down, they sat down on his bed. "It's boring." Noodle sighed.

2D smiled. She still gets bored easily like she did when she was a teen he thought. "I would expect you to say that." 2D laughed. He looked her in her pretty emerald eyes, and he couldn't help but smile a big, goofy grin.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Noodle asked while cocking her head to the side in confusion.

"I'm just thinking about you when you were younger. I remember when we first got you. You instantly took to me."2D said, deep in thought. "You were so small for your age. I remember always picking you up and sitting you in my lap." He grabbed Noodle and pulled her in a hug. She nuzzled his chest. He let go and she pulled away.

"I remember how we used to play video games," Noodle said, dreamily. They looked each other in the eye. They scooted closer to each other. "2D, I love you."

"I love you too." They continued to stare into each other's eyes. Then, Noodle wrapped her arms around 2D and leaned in for a kiss. Just then, Murdoc burst in the door.

"Awww, well if it isn't our little Noodle and the DULLARD falling in love." Murdoc said. His voice raised in anger "DIDN'T I SAY TO BE READY SOON?!"

"S-sorry Murdoc. N-noods was helping me find a shirt because I couldn't decide on one and we started reminiscing on the past and-" 2D stuttered as his words became jumbled. He was cut off by Murdoc's yelling.

"SHUT UP!" He snapped. "Look, I don't care you all kiss. Hell, I don't care if you

shag each other's brains out. As long as you don't knock her up, I'm fine."

2D and Noodle blushed. Noodle spoke up. "Damn, do you have to be so vulgar?"

"Luv, you should be used to it by know." He replied. "Now, as I was saying, get off your arse and on come to the Mardi Gras Parade!" He said in a shockingly cheery way. He left out of the room, leaving the blushing love birds behind.

"Well, I guess I'll be on my way," Noodle said. "See ya in a bit."

"Yeah. See ya in a little while." 2D said, a little disapointed. He hugged Noodle and kissed her on the cheek.

Well, this is gonna be interesting the blue haired singer thought to himself. He pulled on a jaket and walked out of the suit, unaware of how his life is about to change.
