Ch.10 Practice makes Perfect
2D's voice sounded like that of a fallen angel to Noodle and though he never showed it he was actually quite proud of it. 2D was also very fond of Noodle's singing voice, he could hear singing coming from her room every now and again and sometimes he'd place his ear against the door just to listen. When she sang Dare he was practically ecstatic and whenever she sang duet with him in songs he felt as though he'd just melt away. When the reached the rehearsal room backstage the began to practice instantly. 2D sang a couple notes to make sure he sounded okay, Noodle fine tuned her guitar, Murdoc strummed a bit on his bass, and Russel played the beats of every song. When they had finished going over everything they had a little more than five minutes left. During a concert they would be playing a total of 5 songs not including encores. O Green World, Feel Good Inc., Slow Country, Clint Eastwood, and Dare. Their concert went on for a pretty long time including 3 encores and 2 song request. Throughout the concert all Murdoc and 2D could look at was their little Noodle. She, to them wasn't young at all anymore but indeed a woman whom they had fallen in love with. She had grown into a fine woman, the two men shared this thought as they made their beautiful songs.
…
After the concert everyone had gone out to eat at none other than Chilis. They had signed a couple of autographs and all the girls were going practically gaga over 2D and Murdoc. Noodle was slightly jealous...just slightly… A couple girls came up behind 2D and Murdoc and squealed while wrapping their arms around them. Noodle couldn't help but notice their giant breast press up against her love's backs… Noodle's face grew red and she stared down at her feet as the two girls sat down and made themselves comfortable. "I can't believe I'm actually meeting 2D! Your soooooo cute!" One girl cooed as she sat next to 2D. "Murdoc looks incredibly hot in person doesn't he?! So handsome!" Another girl squeaked sitting next to Murdoc. 2D blushed while Murdoc smirked evilly placing his arm around the girl. The girl next to 2D placed a finger on his lips. "I just love your voice. It's so sexy~" 2D laughed nervously his face growing incredibly red. "Th-thanks!" He stuttered not really knowing how to handle the situation. Russel simply scowled and ordered his food while Murdoc chatted up the other girl. It was about halfway through the meal when Noodle suddenly stood up jerking her chair backwards, causing everyone at the table to jump. "Noods what's wrong?" 2D asked concerned Murdoc switched his gaze away from the girl next to him and focused on Noodle. Noodle was quiet for a few moments staring down at her feet. "Toilet…" She spoke quietly before retreating quickly towards the girls restroom. Russel sighed sending a glare towards 2D and Murdoc who both looked very confused. Russel then stood up and wiped his mouth with a napkin and threw it towards the table. "I'm taking baby girl back to the hotel, I think she might be sick." 2D and Murdoc both stood up quickly. "She's sick what's wrong?" 2D asked very concerned towards his lil luv. "She seemed okay during the concert. Did she tell you something?" Murdoc chimed in also very concerned for his chiclet. Russel's stare turned very harsh and he sighed once more. "If you two really don't understand then I don't want to waste my time trying to explain it to you." Russel took his leave leaving the two confused men behind.
…
Meanwhile Noodle was in the bathroom rinsing her face with cold water for what had to be the hundredth time. She didn't know why she'd gotten so flustered, well she had an idea. "I must be jealous…" She whispered throwing some more water in her face. She heard a knock at the restroom door. "Hold on just a second!" She grabbed a handful of paper towels patting her face dry and took in a deep breath, letting it out as she opened the door. There stood Russel smiling down at her. "Hey baby girl, you wanna go blow this joint and have some fun?" Noodle smiled back up at him letting him rustle her hair. "Sure, but what about Toochi-San and Murdoc?" She inquired noticing they weren't behind him. Russel frowned and patted Noodle's head once more. "Those fools might take a while." Noodle looked down at her feet suddenly feeling cold. " Oh okay.." Russel felt bad for Noodle, his little girl was all grown up and even getting jealous over other girls. "Let's go baby girl." Russel spoke taking Noodle's hand in his and leading her out of the store.
…
"What the 'ells wrong wit' 'im?!" Murdoc yelled to no one in particular sitting back down in his chair. 2D grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair putting it on slowly. "I think we should go see Noodle Muds. There might be something really wrong." Murdoc sighed getting up once again and pouting at his lost chance to get some tail. "Aww you guys are leaving already?!" The girl next to 2D whined like a dog. "Why don't you guys stay a little longer? Leave that little brat to herself. I mean how rude of that bitch to ruin the whole evening." The girls both chimed in together completing each other sentences. Murdoc scowled and 2D's face got dark. "The only thing that ruined this evening was you two birds." Murdoc slid out from one of the girl's grasp and stood at the front of the table. "No one talks about lil Noods like that… You should watch your mouth." 2D left the girl at his side to stand next to Murdoc. "Be not seeing you two ladies for I fear my eyes might rot out." Murdoc snickered as he and 2D walked out of the restaurant. A waiter came up to the table tapping one of the girls on the shoulder. "Um M'am…" The girls turned violently almost smacking the waiter with her long earrings. "WHAT IS IT NOW?!" Her voice turned almost demonic and the other girl just stayed silent a look of rage on her face. "Uh.. well you see I need you two to pay the bill." The girls both gasped as the waiter handed them a check. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"
…
Russel and Noodle took the taxi around to many places. Stopping in a park to walk around a bit and enjoy the scenery. "Amazing Russel-San! Thank you for bringing me! I'm having so much fun!" Noodle was amazed at the beautiful lake that covered at least half of the park. "No problem baby girl." Russel smiled at Noodle who was thoroughly enjoying herself, forgetting almost all about the restaurant ordeal. Russel's phone started jingling and Noodle turned around to look at him pull it out of his pocket and sigh at the ID. He opened the phone and pressed answer placing the phone up to his ear. "What is it Muds?" Noodle felt her heart gain weight just from the name, it brought back everything at the restaurant. "What do you mean where are we? I took Noodle to get some air….I'll take her back when she damn well feels like coming back." Russel shut his phone signaling he'd just hung up on Murdoc and patted Noodle's shoulder. "I'm sorry sweet heart." Noodle shook her head and smiled up at Russel. "No need Russel-San. I think it's time we head back now. I need to face them eventually." Russel smiled sadly down at Noodle and nodded. "Alright baby girl, whatever you need."
…
"DAMN SLOG HUNG UP ON ME!" Murdoc yelled throughout Noodle's hotel room which he and 2D had invaded attempting to search for her and Russel. "Calm down Muds at least we know she's with Russel and safe." Murdoc slammed his fist down violently on the counter and turned towards 2D punching his arm. "Ow! Wha' was tha' fo'?" 2D rubbed the sore spot on his arm as it turned into a bruise. "You imbecile… I don't care if she's with that oversized asshole. I need to see her now!" Murdoc glared into the depths of the living room as he and 2D stood in Noodle's kitchen. 2D pouted and stared at Murdoc for a good long while. "You really love her don't you?" Murdoc turned towards 2D his face had gone blank while he was staring into 2D's orbs. "Of course. I thought you did too." He spoke matter-of-factly and 2D gasped his voice raising couple octaves. "Of course I do! I love her more than life!" Murdoc snickered which slowly turned into loud cackling and he smacked 2D on the back. "What kinda cheesy shit was that?!" 2D winced as Murdoc smacked his back and glared as the bowl hair-cut man laughed at him. "Wha's so funny abou' tha'?" 2D asked and Murdoc's laughs started to fade as he wiped tears from his eyes. "You're way more calm about it than I am…" Murdoc spoke as if in a whisper hoping 2D wouldn't hear him but of course he did. "Well that's just cus you're really possessive." Murdoc began laughing again, 2D joining him. Their laughter instantly ceased and they heard the door to the room open. "I'm back!" They heard Noodle's voice ring throughout the hotel room.
