(Disclaimer: Same as before)

Murdoc spun the Geep in a 360' turn, managing not to fling 2D out of the car, and stopped about 12 meters from the most run down building they'd seen yet.

Corrugated iron blocked the door, with a slight gap only a child or skinny teenager could slip through, with only minor cuts. None of the 3 could fit in and have a look around, with 2D being so tall, Murdoc's ego being so large (and the slight problem of him refusing to search any areas), and Russel being slightly bigger than them both.

2D and Russel called Noodle's name whilst wandering up and down the street, searching down any alleyways and looking in buildings, whilst Murdoc sat in the Geep and 'kept an eye out for that lil'love.'

Murdoc took the opportunity to have a quick kip, and was soon dozing off in the weak light of the setting sun.

2D and Russel came back to the Geep about half an hour later, tired from wandering all over town, to find Murdoc curled up in the back seats. 2D went to wake him, but Russel thought wiser and dragged 2D back, waking him up himself.

Murdoc's fist automatically launched at Russel's face, a normal good morning reaction from Murdoc, and missed as Russel ducked.

'Muds… YOU COULD HAVE MISSED HER, YOU FOOL!' Russel shouted in his face, 2D cowering as Russel blew off some steam.

'What?! SO COULD YOU, YOU LARD ARSE!' Murdoc replied, stretching and eyeing 2D up, wondering what to do to him.

Russel noticed the look on Murdoc's face and turned to 2D.

'Go fo' a walk, me and Mud's need to talk…' Russel said, pushing 2D towards the derelict building.

2D decided to sit on the steps leading up to the building, a safe distance away from the two squabbling and looked around. He soon became bored and his thoughts wandered back to Noodle.

He began to sing softly, just like he did whenever he sung Noodle to sleep.

Dreams aren't bad, I had turned back
I love the girl
But God only knows it's
Getting hard to see the sun coming through
I love you...
But what are we going to do?

2D stared at his feet as he sung, his cheeks burning as if Noodle could hear him.

'If yo' are actually up in 'eavan, girlie… that was for you…' he muttered, eventually joining Russel and Murdoc as their 'heated' discussion came to an abrupt end… Russel jabbed Murdoc in the nose with his fist… again.

Noodle slept restlessly, the building creaking noisily every few minutes or so, and some debris falling in the silence, echoing around her little enclosure. Noodle fell back asleep shortly after each disturbance, needing to build up all the energy she needed to get back to Kong.

A few hours later, Noodle was again woken up by the roar of an engine. Alarmed, she huddled up in the corner behind the makeshift iron cover, shrouded in the darkness.

Noodle suspected it was Police or the media, so she huddled up into a tight ball, closing her eyes tightly.

Noodle soon fell asleep again, unaware of how tired her body and mind actually were.

Whilst she slept, she'd dreamt of hearing her name being called by two familiar voices, and hearing two people having an argument… it wasn't very clear on who it was about, as most of the discussion consisted of threats and swearing.

She'd also heard someone singing in her dream, just like 2D did when he sung her to sleep occasionally. The singing sounded an awful lot like 2D's voice, and it was so close. The singing calmed Noodle, and she fell deeper into sleep, not hearing the Geep roar way with a screech of tyres and a smell of burning rubber.

Murdoc swung the Geep into the car park of Kong, stemmed the blood flow from his nose with the cuff of his shirt, and slammed off to his Winnebago, cursing Russel under his breath.

Russel shrugged and ambled off to the kitchen, to make himself a comforting snack.

2D on the other hand, wandered off to Noodles room.

He slunk in and sat down on Noodles bed staring at the wall.

'I wish you were 'ere, Noods… I miss yeh a lot… too much infact…' 2D sighed, mumbling to himself.

He lay back on her bed, holding one of her pillows close to himself, smelling her faint scent, and remembering all the times when he would lie next to her in thunderstorms, so she wouldn't be afraid.

He pictured the way she lay, always on her side, purple hair falling into her face and spreading out over her pillow, always huddling up under her duvet.

More memories came back to him as he lay there, remembering when he used to chase her to her room to get her to go to sleep, holding her at 3 am when she'd had a nightmare and didn't want to be alone, being her shoulder to cry on when her first boyfriend had split up with her… 2D smiled weakly when Noodle had told him she'd been dumped, he'd been longing for an excuse to spend time cuddled up with her. He'd hidden his smile from Noodle though, incase he'd upset her.

2D lay on her bed for about an hour, in a trance as the memories played in his head, working his brain too hard, giving him a painful migraine.

2D knew thinking about things too hard would give him a migraine, and he knew he'd always taken too many pills to accommodate the pain, but in the situation he was in… it felt… right.

Maybe if he took a few more than usual… he'd slip away… and join Noodle in heaven, where they could be together forever.

He thought this over and imagined what he'd be asked when he'd reached those pearly gates.

'What ever happened, Stuart Tusspot…' an angel would ask

'She made me kill myself…' 2D would sing with a satisfied smirk on his face, passing through the gates into Noodles arms.

2D suddenly snapped out of the thoughts in his head, cursing himself for thinking of such dire actions. Noodle was still alive. Being dead wouldn't find her.

'God damn you Noodle. I love you' he sighed, slouching out of her room and heading towards the kitchen.
