Hello! So, this is my first 'official' fanfic, so please be gentle. I know i'm not that good at spelling, but whatever, i'm not english or something like that. Again, please be gentle!
As allways, it rained outside Kong Studios. The zombies tryed to escape Cortez, as usual. Even though they where dead, they still didn't want to get their eyes chopped out.
Murdoc was in his winnebago. He always was. Well, not allways, but most of the time. Russel was in the kitchen and readed the paper. That wasn't unusual either.2D and Noodle sat in 2D's room, doing nothing in paticular.
This evening, everything was as normal as it could be at Kongs.
Stuart Tusspot sat on his bedroom floor with his computer in front of him. It wouldn't start, which pissed him off. After trying almost everything, he gave up. If Noodle had been awake, he would just have asked her, but as she layed on his bed with her eyes closed, she looked pretty much like she was asleep. Which she, in fact, was.
Noodle was a computer-geek, she couldn't lie. It was actually quite usefull sometimes...
The fact that she was sleeping in 2D's bed, gave him a serious problem: Should he wake her up, so that she could go to her own room, or should he let her sleep? (Not that it would be a huge problem for anyone else, but if you only knew how 2D thank, you would also be in trouble!).
Finally, after he had thought it all through several times, he crawled over to his bed, and shook her arm. "Noods? ... Noodle, wake up.." he whispered. After a few seconds, the japanese girl stirred, yawned, and sat up in the bed. "Um, hi..." she said with a tired voice. "Noodle, you took my bed." he chuckled. "Hai, sumimasen.." she whispered with a smile on her face. She was tired, and she was absolutly not in the mood to talk english right now.
"Do you want to sleep here, or in your own room?" 2D asked and scratched the carpet with his nails. Noodle gazed at him, but ignored the question. She remembered something. Something she had thought about. Something she wanted to talk about.
She pulled herself together, and started to mumble something. In english! (That meant, that she was awake now.) "2D-sama, i want to talk with you.."
She yawned again before 2D answered her. "About what?"
She knew it wasn't good to bring it on, but she had to know some things. ".. Paula." she answered, and could almost feel the nervousness in 2D. She knew he didn't like to talk about her. But she needed to know...
He nodded slowly, and crawled up in the bed.
"When were the last time you saw her?", Noodle asked.
"Five years ago.. In 2001. Just after Clint Eastwood, you know.."
"Oh. I thought you've talked with her since then?"
2D smiled at her. "Yeah, talked. Not seen."
Noodle giggled and reached down to the floor, and took up a knife.
Flashback
"Aw, c'mon Noods, it'll just take a few minutes!" Russel begged outside Burger King.
After a few seconds, she gave up. "Okay, okay, but i'm freezing, so you better hurry! And, nothing for me. I'm not hungry."
"O'course, o'course!" he said and stepped into the building.
Noodle leaned herself up against the wall, and tryed to warm her hands in her jacket. God, she thought to herself, the English winther is cold.
She glanced at all the people on the street. She didn't really pay much attention to them, to be honest.
Sometimes somebody looked at her with big eyes; They did probably regonize her. She hated it when they did. She liked it when people talked to her, showed some intrest, instead of just stare.
In the middle of the crowd, Noodle saw a tall, blackhaired woman. Noodle stared at her - She looked like.. Paula? But, it couldn't be her, could it? If it was, then what did she do in the middle of Essex?
The woman turned her head, and looked at Noodle. She stopped, and after a few seconds of awkwardness, she walked over to Noodle.
"Hi." the woman said, and gave Noodle her hand. "Hello..." Noodle whispered. She really didn't like that she was talking with Paula. If it was her. She was pretty sure that it was. No, she didn't like to talk with the woman, who had allmost destroyed her best friend. All his feelings, all his dreams, and his trust. She hated her.
Russel stepped out of Burger King with a burger in his hand. He starred at the two girls, before he said: "Paula, why in the hell are you here?"
"Oh, hi Russ! Good to see you!" Paula said with sarcasm in her voice.
"Hmm, sure.. Shouldn't you be in London?"
"Yes is should, but i don't want to." Paula answered and faked a friendly smile.
"What do you want?" Russel did suddenly look serious.
"I don't want anything. What makes you think that? How are, you know, the others?"
"They're great. And me too, thanks for asking."
"And you still live in Kongs, right? With the girl." she said and glanced at Noodle.
"Yeah, me, 2D, Murdoc and the girl. Noodle." he answered and took a bite of his burger.
"I see.. Nice too meet you. I hope to see you again soon. You see, i'm busy, so i have to say goodbye."
"Yeah, yeah. You know, i don't wish for you that your dreams will come true. I really never had. Bye, Paula." Russel said and pushed Noodle gently with him, and leaved an angry Paula in the middle of Essex. Great!
End of flashback
Noodle had thought of their meeting ever since it had happened. Russel hadn't said a word about it, after they entered Kongs again that evening.
She had a strange feeling, that Paula's wish might come true pretty soon. She just didn't know when and how.
"We don't have to talk about her, 'D." Noodle said and hugged him. He didn't look to happy.
He smiled and shook his head. "No, i know." he whispered into her hair and layed his arms around her shoulders.
They sat like that for a couple of minutes, untill Noodle yawned loudly.
"Can i please sleep in here tonight? I don't have energy enough to go back to my own room." she asked trough a cute, yet tired smile.
"Of course. But i'll go to sleep now. And don't kick me again!" he laughed. Last time Noodle had slept in his room, she had waked him up in the middle of the night, because she had kicked him.
She smiled and layed down on the bed again. "Oyasumi.."
"Yeah, goodnight." 2D said and turned off the light.
Hai Yes
Sumimasen Sorry
Oyasumi Goodnight
Please correct me, if i'm wrong.
