Chapter 3:
HIYA PEOPLES! Didn't many reviews for the last chappy...wots going on here! But those who did review, arigato! Well yea, yea, yea anyway let's continue...shall we?


"Mmm..." Lenne woke up on Saturday morning. It took her awhile to realize it was Saturday, but when she did she jolted up to see her clock. "10:30"

She sank back into her spot in bed before she heard the doorbell ring. Slowly getting to her feet, she ran down stairs and opened the door. To her surprise, it was 2-D staring back at her.

"Oh...Hiya ..." she smiled, rubbing her eyes.

"Um can I come in?"

"Yea." She opened the door more so he was able the step inside. "Oh! Take off your shoes." she told him.

"Why?"

"It's a custom."

"Oh..."

"Just leave them by the door." she said, pointing to the front of the door. There was lump in the floor like a step in a stairwell. Below it were all kinds of shoes and sneakers lined up in place. He slipped off his sneakers and put them at the end of the line.

2-D walked deeper into the house. It was beautiful—like nothing he had ever seen before. There were Japanese paintings on the walls as well as pictures on a shelf near the stairs. There was also a fireplace and a huge television. He hopped on the couch next to Lenne. She snuggled up to him and yawned.

"Oh, I'm so tired." she yawned again. He put an arm around her.

"Anything on telly then, love?"

"Umm not sure." She leaned in forward to pick up the remote control and clicked on the on the television.

"Cartoons... I guess." she said snuggling into him again.

"Wots there to eat?"

"Mmmm...cereal."

"You want some?"

"No, help yourself."

"Okay."

They both just sat on the couch, laying on each other, watching cartoons. They had both ate breakfast before watching "Finding Nemo."

"I love this movie," sighed 2-D.

"Me too…" replied Lenne. They were on the floor, laid out on the (1) tatami mat. 2-D laid on his stomach while Lenne's lower-half laid on the ground her upper body was resting on 2-D's back.

Just then, they heard a noise come from upstairs.

"Is that your mum?" he asked.

"No, my mum's not here She's working on Saturdays. So that's just my sister, Miho."
"Oh."
Miho walked down stairs, rubbing her eyes. "G'morning, Lenne."

"G'morning." answered Lenne; sitting up from 2-D's back.

Miho walked over to the couch, close enough to see 2-D, who had his eyes glued to the T.V.

"Hiya, Lenne who's this?"

"Oh umm this is 2-D. 2-D this is my sister, Miho."

"Hi." said 2-D waving.

Miho waved back. Lenne stood up and carried the cereal bowls to the kitchen, followed by Miho. "He's not a new boyfriend, is he?" asked her very excited sister. Lenne shugged.

"I don't know...maybe."

"Wot about Charlie?"

Lenne put the dirty dishes in the sink and began wash them. "You know I hate Charlie."

"Okay, wot bout mum then? You know she doesn't like you picking boyfriends."

Lenne was silent for a moment. "Yeah I know..."

"AH-HA! Gotcha!" shouted her sister. "So he is your boyfriend!"

Lenne rolled her eyes and giggled. "I guess so!" Lenne managed to say in between giggles. She looked up to find the time. "1:30" "Oh crap!" she shouted.

"(2)Nani?" she asked, startled.

"I've got to go! 2-D, stay right here, I'll be right with you, hun, okay?" He nodded as she ran upstairs to the take a shower and get dressed.


2-D and Lenne ran to Murdoc's house. They got there around 2:15.
"Sorry, sorry" said 2-D. Murdoc walked up to him and punched him in the arm. "OW! Wots that for!"
"For being late, you dullard." "Lenne was late, too!"
"Stu!..."
"Sorry love, we can't all win," he said hiding behind her from Murdoc's punches

"Wha?" she gasped as she turned to Murdoc. "I wanna' help," she said, raising her hand. She ran behind 2-D and, slipping her arms under his, he was locked in her grip just waiting to be hit by Murdoc. 2-D clapped his hands together as if he were praying.

"No, please I wanna' live."

Murdoc threw a fake punch, which made 2-D close his eyes and yell.

"He didn't even hit you!" giggled Lenne.

2-D opened his eyes. "He didn't?"

Murdoc put a cigarette in his mouth. "You Muppet..."

"Oh...umm Lenne lemme go." She shook her head and began to tickle him. "HEHEHEEHEEHEHE STOP. LENNE PLEASE! HEHEHEEHEHE!"

As soon as Russel and Noodle arrived the group began to set up their instruments and began to play for Lenne.
"Ok, love just in case you wanted to know I came up with this entire idea and this entire song. This was my vision, got it?" said Murdoc.

Lenne sighed and nodded.

"Aww shut up man," said Russel in back.

"Yea well all right, all right I just want things to be clear, that's all."

The group began to warm up and played a ruddy version of "Tomorrow comes today."
"What do you think? It's good, no?" asked Noodle.

Lenne nodded. "It's wicked. I love it."
"Really?" asked Russel.

She nodded again. "I think it'll make the top 20!"
Murdoc took off his bass. "We could make the top 20. We're better than those other bands out there. Complete rubbish that's wot they are!"
"Yea!" Noodle and Lenne jumped in unison.
"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..." sang 2-D.


Soon after, Murdoc's dad walked in to see what the noise was about.

"Wot's going on here-" he was interrupted by the sight of Lenne. "Well, well wot have we here? Jacob Niccals at your service, darling…" he said, kissing Lenne's hand.

She laughed nervously. "Haha...like father like son, huh?"
He chucked. "Yea well I taught this mop-top everything he knows." said Jacob, hooking a thumb in his son's direction.

"Yeah, yeah, umm dad, shouldn't you be leaving now?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm going. Lemme' get a drag first." Murdoc passed his father the cigarette that was in his mouth.

"A bit strange ain't they?" whispered 2-D to Lenne. She giggled.
"Cheers, I'm off," said Jacob, walking towards the door when he stopped and snapped his fingers. "Just a minute. Muds, I've got something for you." He walked out and returned with a box in his hands.

"Wots that?" asked Murdoc. Jacob opened the box; there laid a golden upside-down cross. Murdoc smiled. "This is for me?" Jacob nodded. Moments passed before Murdoc gave his father a 2 second hug.

"Thanks." He grabbed the cross and put it on his neck.

His father smiled and walked out. "I'm off to the pub!" shouted his dad. "Lock up. I'm not coming home tonight."

Murdoc sighed. "Now there is a great old fart. So now wot?" 2-D checked his watch.

"Lenne, love, wot time is it?" he asked. "I've got 5:86"
Lenne sighed and checked his watch for him. "It's 5:30. Stu why do you keep a watch if you can't tell time?"
2-D thought for a bit. "Umm…well...you know..." Lenne sighed.
