Today was just another stormy afternoon at kong, and 2D was sitting in his room watching the smoke from his mouth rise up to the ceiling. He stared at the fag between his fingers, than the various items on his floor. There was a slight but firm knock on the door. There was no way he was going to get up and walk over there and open the door,until he heard the sweet voice of his guitarist. "Come in"he called while putting out his fag. The bubbly japanese girl opened the door and hopped into his room. She really could brighten up anyones day. As she skiped over to his bed her violet locks moved with her. She had just gotten back from japan and they were all working on the album she had written. He was really impressed with her, she was only 13.
"Wuts up luv" he asked, now sitting on the side of his bed. "im bored" she said"sooo, i was thinking i could give you japanese lessons! You promised i could some day". She was right, he had promised her a while ago. "awright luv i'll do few you" The smile he just put on her face had made all this worth it. "Ok shall we go to my room?" Noodle asked"Only if yer room is clean" 2D eyes widened"Meet me in my room in five minutes" She said and frantically ran up the stairs to her room.
2D chuckled. She really was something else,not like he knew many 13 year old girls,but he imagined she must be different from others. She was very intelligent and had a certain optimistic view on life,while still realizing the problems of modern society. She looked at the world through unfazed eyes. And there probably isn't another 13 year old girl out there playing guitar for a world famous band. He lit another fag and began to puff out smoke like before,getting lost in his thoughts.
When five minutes have passed he put out his cigarette. 2D made his way to Noodles room. He knocked on her door "Come in" he heard the guitarist say. He opened the door to find his small japanese friend sitting on her large perfectly made bed, writing something on pieces of paper with a black pen. "Hello 2D-san. I was getting worried, it's been almost fifteen minutes" she said with a concerned look on her face. "Oh sorry luv guess i lost track of time" He said apologetically, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Its ok toochie, we can start down" she said motioning to the spot infront of her on the bed. He sat down cross legged on the bed facing noodle,who was holding a pile of flash cards" Now 2D,do you know any japanese at all" As a response she only got his vacant stare "Ok then, well just start at the beginning. Konichiwa" She said holding up a flash card with the meaning, japanese characters and how to pronounce it."Konichiwa" 2D
said" " Noodle said holding up another flash card. "Ha-shi m-me" 2D stumbled with the word
"Dont bother teachin em' japanese luv he barely knows english" 2D and Noodle flipped their heads toward the door to see murdoc leaning against the door frame, a fag dangling between his lips. 2D was oblivious to the comment though. Murdoc walked over to the bed, his cuban heels clicking with every step. "Murdoc-san please either join us or leave,i am trying to teach some things to 2D" Noodle said following Murdocs every move "Believe me i've tried luv and he doesn't seem to register. But i might as well join you seeing i got nuthin betta to do" Murdoc grinned as he sat down next to 2D on noodles bed.
"Fine but you must be respectful" Noodle said in an accusing tone. "Ok, ok luv i wont be any trouble at all" murdoc said with a smirk on his lips, the fag still in his mouth. She was still looking at him "wut ya waitin for" Murdoc asked. Noodle brought two fingers to her lips motioning to his cigarette. "Oh fine" murdoc said rolling his eyes. He put out his fag"Happy?"
"Now we can start again" Noodle said with a sigh of relief. She held up a flash card" ogenki desu ka. That means how are you" "Ogenki desu ka" Murdoc and 2D said in unison. "Jinx!" yelled 2D. Murdoc hit him across the face. "Murdoc! stop! Let me finish!" said the japanese girl guitarist. They both stared at noodle, 2D was rubbing the spot Murdoc hit. Noodle continued the lesson, trying to teach basic greetings and words to her bandmates. But it clearly wasn't going well. "Ok i belive that is enough language for today, but do either of you want to learn a specific word or phrase before we move on to etiquette" How about bastard" Murdoc asked. Noodle just gave him a disapproving look and said "Rokudenashi. Now shall we move to the kitchen to practice etiquette?"
They all left her room and went into the kitchen where noodle and russel set up a small japanese meal earlier that day. There were only two spots because she was expecting only 2D and not murdoc " I'll set up another place" Noodle sighed putting down another cup for tea,a small plate of sushi, chopsticks and a small bowl of soup. "Please sit" murdoc and 2D did as they were told and took their seats while noodle took a tea kettle from the stove.
She began to pour the tea into the small cups, steam rising from the green liquid. She finally sat down next to 2D "ok so this is green tea, which is extremely popular in japan" She took the cup in her hands and brought it to her lips to take a sip. 2D did the Murdoc took the tea and through it back in one second flat. "This is the weirdest shot ive eva had noods. what is up with japan seriously" Noodle facepalmed " Murdoc-san this is tea not alcohol!" She yelled ,and she wasn't one to lose her cool.
She took a deep breath and tried to compose herself. " Ok now lets just pick up the chopsticks and begin to eat, now i know i have taught you two to use chopsticks so please try to use them" She said picking up her pair of chopsticks and began to pick up a piece of sushi. Murdoc picked up his chopsticks and began to try and get one of the pieces of sushi. 2D tryed but his chopstick somehow ended up hitting Murdocs cheek "Rokudenashi!" murdoc yelled stabbing 2Ds hand with his chopsticks "Ow what was at fo?!" 2D yelled" What do you think faceache!" murdoc said holding on to the collar of 2Ds shirt.
"ENOUGH!" Noodle yelled gaining both of their attentions "I just wanted to teach you two about my culture, but no you have to act up like always!" she stormed out of the kitchen to her room across the hall mumbling things in her native tongue. "She just called us bastards didn't she" Asked 2D " Yep at least we learned one thing today" And with that murdoc hit 2D on the head, lit a fag and left the room.
2D felt bad,all Noodle wanted to do was share some of her culture with them. He decided to cheer her up. 2D gathered up what was left of the food and tea, two small cups and chopsticks. After putting them all on a tray he found lying around he went across the hall to noodles room being careful not to spill.
He knocked on her door with no response. "Noodle luv. Open the door"still no response. She wasn't going to open the door and he knew it. He tried to remember some japanese she taught him,just one simple word. "o-onegai shim-masu Noodle-chan?" He cautiously said. She opened the door for that. Apparently he had said the right thing. She was obviously trying to hide her smile,2D had actually learned something from her!
He had on that goofy grin which made her smile even eyed the tray of food. "Zombie movie marathon while eating japanese food and drinking tea?" Noodle asked. 2D noded. She brushed the hair out of her face "Arigato Gozaimasu 2D-kun, anata wa saikoda" He just smiled and nodded " Ave no idea wut you jus said love, but i'm hoping it was good" Noodle laughed" Hai, shall we go now"she said closing her bedroom door and heading down the hall. She really was the best 13 year old he knew.
