Disclaimers: I own nothing.

2D, Murdoc, and Russel were boys, Noodle knew this very well. And, like most boys, these boys will be boys. Noodle knew this well, too. She also knew that she was a girl as well as a child, and being so, she would take on many qualities that most young girls had. The one quality she possessed would soon drive her boys absolutley crazy.

Jelousy.

It made sense, though. These boys were her's and only her's. She wouldn't share them with anyone! Apparently, they didn't understand that because they were always bringing women home! Mostly Murdoc, but Russel and 2D had their fair share as well. No matter, it's still bugged Noodle to no end when something would get in between her and her boys.

This little feeling began one day when the boys decided to take the ten-year-old down to the park.

Flashback:

Ah, summer time, the only time when it wasn't okay to have nothing to do. Russel occupied himself by working on his taxodermy, 2D was usually drugged and asleep most of the day, and Murdoc, well, he did what most Murdocs did during the summer. Noodle, however, had nothing to do. The poor girl's only friends where the boys. This is why the guitarist devised a well thought out plan. A plan so good, it just had to work. It was pure genious! She'd throw herself on the floor and scream. Brilliant!

"RUSSEL-SAN, TOOCHI-SAN, MURDOC-SAN!" She screamed.

Instantly, 2D was awoken from his nap, Russel had forgotten all about his taxodermy, and Murdoc actually took the time to find a pair of pants before running to the girl.

"Noodle, what's wrong!?"

"Ya alrigh', luv?"

"What is all the damn racket!" Murdoc argued.

"Now got all here, Noodle bored." Noodle stated.

"We ca' play vi'eo games lateh." 2D promiced, already heading back to his room.

"No, sun out!" Noodle pointed to that glowing orb in the sky.

"Noodle, 'ow many times mus' we tell ewe, we can' really go to the sun!" Murdoc yelled. Noodle stomped her foot and marched over to the front door and flung it open, letting sun light fill the room. THe boys hissed as the light burned their eyes, rendering them powerless.

"We go to park now!" Noodle commanded.

"Fine, we'll go ta the park, now close the damn door!"

Ah, the park, the only place where you could take the child you considered a little sister to and yet still look crazy.

"I 'ate it 'ere." 2D commented, trying to pretend like all the staring people weren't there.

"Shut up, 'D, atleast Noodle is getting some fresh air." Russel shot.

"An' atleas' Mur'oc can hit on some birds tha' ain't from the pub." 2D smirked at his own joke when the little jappense girl came running up to him.

"Toochi-san, come play Noodle and friends." She grabbed the man's hand and began tugging on his arm.

"Noodle, no' now, I 'ave a migraine." 2D pulled his hand away.

Again with those dang migraines. 2D was always complaining about them, Noodle still had no idea what they were, but they seemed to hurt his head a lot.

"Noodle help." The guitarist hoped onto the bench and began rubbing the bluenette's temple.

"Than's, Noods." 2D smiled.

"Play now?"

"Sure."

And it was from that day on that Noodle vowed to never let anything come between her and her boys.
