Chapter 2! Have fun! OC is Shrimp
Chapter 2: Reunion and Heart to Heart
Shrimp sat in the recording studio near her drums. 2D walked in smiled at Shrimp, his response from her was a flick of the head like when a snooty person stares away from an ex-boyfriend. He stared at her confused.
"Oy, Dullard! Wake up from your daydreaming and get to your keyboards! We're startin' in 2!" Murdoc shouted through the microphone. 2D snapped out of his trance and went to sit near his keyboards.
After recording the songs the band started to pack up. Shrimp lifted one side of her drums onto a rolling cart to put away in the instruments cupboard. 2D stayed behind and wanted to know what Shrimp was so upset about. Lucky for him she couldn't push the cart into the cupboard. He walked over and pushed hard with his skinny arms.
"So, is there a reason why ya not talkin' to me?" He asked. Shrimp slammed the door and stomped away not answering his question... Yet. She stood in the middle of the doorway and looked at him with her jealous eyes.
"No there isn't, Why would there be?" She answered giving him a sarcastic smile and stomped away to the lift. 2D just stood in the middle of the room gazing at where Shrimp just stood. He sighed and looked down at the floor.
2D walked off to check on Noodle who was lying on his bed with the curtains open. 2D froze in his place as he saw the whale's eye. 2D rushed to the curtains and closed them at once. Noodle sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"What's wrong 2D-san?" Noodle asked a little sleepily. 2D sighed in relief and sat next to her resting his head against the wall. Noodle sat where she was. Noodle was 20 now and started to have... Sensual feelings for 2D. "I just don't like whales that's all." He said letting her rest her head in his lap. 2D patted her hair as she started to fall asleep again. "I missed you Noods..." He whispered in her ear. Noodle whispered something back in Japanese but 2D couldn't understand it but somehow he knew what she said.
Me too. Then Noodle drifted off to sleep.
Shrimp was on her belly kicking her legs in the air and snuggling a teddy bear while lying on her bed. She kept humming the song On Melancholy Hill.
"With the manatee... Are you here with me?" She kept singing and humming the tune not even bothering if it's in the right order.
"Eh Shrimp, whoa you okay?" Murdoc boomed then went silent when he saw Shrimp.
Shrimp gave a heavy sigh then started to answer Murdoc's question. "I'm miserable... Who knew having a crush on someone could make you feel like shit."
"I should scold ya for cursin' but since you're 13 now, ya've gotta licence to curse now." Murdoc commented.
"That's not very much of a curse word since people are creating worse ones," Shrimp retorted.
"Well, anyways... Why are ya miserable?" Murdoc asked.
Shrimp turned her head like an owl and stared at him like he was an idiot.
"Wow, you haven't been listening to a word I have said have you?" Shrimp said.
"Sorry doll guess I'll leave now..." Murdoc walked out the door while leaving a key on her table.
Shrimp's curiosity was killing her. She rolled off the bed and onto the floor while crawling towards where the key was. She looked at it very carefully. It was the key to the lighthouse. But Murdoc never gave that to anyone. 2D knocked on the door, Shrimp not knowing who it was grabbed some string and wove it through the key.
"Come in!" She yelled while tying the key around her neck and not succeeding well at it. 2D walked in and leaned against the doorway. "Ya're talkin' to me now?" He said with a little bit of sarcasm in his voice. "Now that you mention it... Get Out!" She screamed racing over and trying to push him out the door, but instead get another response. 2D picked Shrimp up and carried her over to her bed. She was breathing very hard. Wow, this chick must've been using a lot of strength there. "What da fuck is up with ya, Shrimp? What hav I done ta make ya hate me?" He yelled at her. She looked down letting her fringe cover the tears in her eyes. "Just go... Please?" She said quietly while getting up and pushing him out the door.
2D was standing in the short hallway which was linked to the lift and Shrimp's bedroom.
'Ask her to the lighthouse... Ask her to see you at the lighthouse...' 2D exhaled then knocked on the door. "Shrimp? Can ya meet me at the lighthouse?" He asked, when he got no answer 2D looked down at his feet with sad eyes then walked away.
"Hey, Face Ache! I wanna talk to ya," Murdoc said from the darkness.
"You just appear out of nowhere!" 2D shouted at him. Murdoc shrugged.
"It's a thing I do 'round here, c'mon I let's talk..." He waved his hand in an urge to get 2D to follow him. 2D and Murdoc went to the lighthouse to talk since it was the only place people wouldn't go.
"Dullard you hav ta understand dat... Shrimp's just a kid but she does hav feelings... Look, what I'm sayin' is that Shrimp cares for ya and she doesn't want to see ya get hurt... And she does know more 'bout you than Noodle 'member dat..." Murdoc kept pausing his sentences to fit the right words in. He was having a heart to heart 2D but right now Murdoc felt like he was killing himself doing this. Shrimp didn't know Android Noodle for a good reason and yet right now it sounded like a crappy one. 2D walked back to the lift only to find Shrimp standing inside of it. She looked at him with casual eyes acting like nothing happened at all. 2D stared at her for a short moment then stepped in the lift. It was a quiet ride but the lift was going up not down.
"Where are we going?" He asked confused.
"I um... I need to see Murdoc about my Drums." She answered.
"What did he do?" 2D asked again.
"He broke them." Shrimp answered again.
Another long moment.
"Paula called." Shrimp finally blurted out.
2D froze as anger started to build up throughout his entire body.
"Who called?"
End of Chapter 2! Ooh, Paula called, suspension! Chapter 3 will be coming soon.
