Chapter 23

Months went by since the dream and Paula and still 2D found no sign of a young girl or anything. He became more and more depressed and didn't want to do anything. Russel felt so bad for him. He tried everything to get him to get is ass off the couch. A day out looking for a girl, going to the mall, out on the town, clubbing, video games, zombie movies, and Russel still never heard 2D sing yet and asked him to sing but still nothing. Russel finally gave up and if 2D wanted to do something, he'd tell him. Murdoc on the other hand didn't care the least bit about poor 2D. His main concern was finding a new guitarist for their unknown band.

RRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG

"Hello, hehe, is-is this Murdoc Niccals?"

"Ello? Yes this is Murdoc Niccals, who is this?"

Murdoc raised and eyebrow in suspicion from the soft laughter coming from the other line of the phone.

"H-ha-Hi, this-this is Joe Sampson, I'm calling about the band. Hehe"

Murdoc raised his eyebrow higher. "Ah, yes, can u play guitar?"

"Psh! Aw, dude I can't do this anymore, HEY NICALLS! YEA GOOD LUCK CUS YOUR STUPID BAND WILL NEVER MAKE IT BIG! HA!"

SLAM!

Murdoc slammed down the phone in anger over what he just heard.

"Dammit! A fucking prankster just called. Jesus the man is probably right! We'll never make it big! Especially with face-ach over here sitting 'round doing nothing!"

Russel threw him a look.

"Hey man, leave D alone alright! He's been through a rough time alright!"

Murdoc's anger only grew. "IT'S BEEN 3 BLOODY MONTHS ALREADY! HOW COULD HE NOT BE OVER IT! JESUS! I COULD GET OVER IT IN A DAY!"

"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU"VE NEVER BEEN HEARTBROKEN OR BEEN IN LOVE!" 2D defended. He stood up walking over to Murdoc.

"I'VE HAVE HAD A LOT OF SHIT 'APPEN TO ME! I CANT REMEMBER HALF OF MY CHILDHOOD, AND THE ONLY PARTS I REMEMBER ARE MEEING JADE, SPENCER, AND JOY AND THEIR DEATHS! I WAS IN TWO CAR ACCIDENTS NO THANKS TO YOU! AND BECAUSE OF THOSE ACCIDENTS I COULD HAVE HAD BOTH MY EYES AND THE WOMAN WHO I TRULY LOVE! NOW I WAS JUST HEARTBROKEN BY PAULA AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO GET OVER IT!"

Now Murdoc wasn't the one to get all touchy-feely but this time he actually felt bad for the guy. He sighed, put his gritty hand on 2D's shoulder and said,

"You're right. I-I-I'm sorry." And with that he walked away saying to himself, "I wonder what happened to that guitarist I called about."

Russel turned to 2D who made his way back to the couch with the TV remote in his hand.

"Hey man, I'm gunna go upstairs alright?"

"K"

Russel walked away leaving the depressed young man behind to watch his show. An hour passed by and 2D was still awake. He looked at his watch, 11:37 pm. He sighed and thought to himself,

"Maybe I should get some sleep. I haven't slept in a while."

He got up off the couch and started to head for his room, when all of a sudden there was a knock at the door. 2D was surprised wondering who it was since it was so late. He walked up to the door and opened it, finding a mailman holding a heavy Fed-Ex package.

"Package for Mr. Niccals?" he asked

2D scratched his head. "Uhhh…he's not available right now, can I take that for him?"

"Sure, just sign here." He pointed to a spot on his chart.

Once 2D finished, the man handed him the package and left.

"Oi, this is a heavy package it is. Wonder what's in it."

Since the package was heavy, before he placed it down, he thought he might crush his fingers so he just dropped it about an inch away from the ground. Once it was dropped, he heard a "AH!" sound coming from the box. Once he heard this, he stopped. He examined the box, and he found holes in the sides of them.

"Air holes? For what?" he said to himself.

He was a little afraid not knowing what was in it, but he decided it was probably a new pet Murdoc wanted, so he looked into the air hole. Just as he looked in he noticed a small figure in the corner. It turned and looked at him with its big emerald eyes. He jumped back from being surprised.

"Was that a-a little girl?"

He quickly looked back in the hole, looking more closely at the girl. He saw she was afraid.

"Awww….it's aright little one, I'll 'ave you out in a jiffy, don't be scared, I aint gunna 'urt you love."

He looked around for a pair of scissors to cut the heavily taped box with. Once he found those, he started to slowly cut open the box. Once he was finished, he sat back a little bit.

"Come on out little one. Is aw'rite."

Slowly the little girl came out. First he noticed part of huge Japanese headset coming slowly out of the box, but as she moved up, he saw her pretty Asian eyes and her black hair that stuck out of her helmet. She was wearing a cute Japanese outfit and shoes. Once she was standing, he picked her up from under her shoulders and placed her on the ground. He got a real good look at her.

"What an adorable little girl!"

"'Ello there love. My name is 2D. What's yours?"

She tilted her head in confusion and said, "Konbanwa" ((good evening))

2D knew it. She was completely Jap. Has no idea what she's saying. He shook his head. Then he had an idea. The pointed "1 minute" to her and ran off to find a Japanese to English dictionary. He found one and ran back to her. he flipped through a couple of times and found what phrase he was looking for.

"Anata wa eigo o hanashimasu ka?" ((Do you speak English?)) He asked her.

"No" she answered.

"As, soo desu ka" ((oh I see)) "Watashi no namae wa 2D desu" ((My name is 2D)) "Anata-no namae wa?" ((what is your name?))

"Dozo yoroshik!" ((pleased to meet you!))

She looked down, and then looked at 2D.

He tilted his head in confusion. "No name?"

She shook her head.

"So, you understand a little English huh?"

"Hai." She pointed to the box.

"She must have learned on the way here! Smart kid" he thought to himself.

"Well, I'm going to speak English from now on so you can get used to it ok?"

She shook her head.

"Ok. Hey, you want to watch TV?" he pointed to the TV.

She nodded. He patted the spot next to him indicating to sit next to her. she did as she was told and sat with him. They were watching a concert by the old band Blur. A guitar solo started to play and the little girl jumped out of her seat and ran to the TV. She started to point wildly at the guitarist on the TV, trying to tell 2D something. He didn't understand.

"What is it little girl?" he asked her.

She ran to her box and pulled something out. A small electric guitar that was just below her height. She started to play it wildly and just as wonderful as the guitar player on the TV. 2D was blow away.

"Wow" was the only word that escaped his mouth. Footsteps were heard coming from the stairs. Murdoc came bursting in with anger.

"2D! TURN DOWN THAT BLOODY TV-" he stopped himself and noticed the little girl standing with the guitar.

"Who the bloody hell I this?" he asked pointing to her.

"She just came in a package from Japan. She was the one playing the guitar." He told him.

Murdoc's jaw dropped.

"HER! SHE DID THAT! OH MY GOD! KID THAT WAS AMAZING! Wait, did you say Japan?" he asked

"Yea."

"Oh. I know why this little girl came. I needed a guitarist, so I called these people from Japan who said that they had the perfect person to do the job and that they would send her over soon, but I neva thought she would come in a bloody crate!"

"Did the people you were talking to one the phone say who she was?"

He shook his head. "No."

2D sighed. "Well, we'll just have to teach her everything we know. She barley speaks English but she's pretty good, and she can understand us a little bit, so talk in smaller words."

"Oh, come on man, she must know something in English. Do you?" Murdoc asked her.

She browsed her mind for a minute and remembered one word.

"NOODLE!"

Murdoc frowned.

"That's it?"

She nodded.

"Ok whatever. Well, she still has no name, what can we call you?"

The 2 men thought, then all of a sudden, 2D came up with something.

"Lets just call her Noodle!" he exclaimed.

Murdoc gave him a look.

"Name her Noodle?"

"YEA! It's perfect! Think about it. It's the only word she knows in English, and she'll remember it. It's perfect!"

Murdoc thought for a minute and then gave a smile.

"Yea, I like it. Nice job face-ach."

"You hear that? Your name is Noodle. Noodle. Understand?" 2D asked.

She nodded her head happily.

"Alright then! So it's Murdoc Niccals, Russel Hobbs, 2D, and Noodle! Then next #1 band in America!" 2D exclaimed, hugging Noodle. She blushed, hugged back and gave him a soft kiss on his cheek. 2D was surprised and just remembered something. A dream he once had, not to long ago. The 10 year old! He finally figured it out. He looked at her. There she was. The girl that completed many gaps. The girl that will steal the hearts of many future fans, including, 2D's.

"Thank you Jade." 2D thought "No matter how close I will get to Noodle, I will always love you. You were my first best friend and my first girlfriend. I will never forget you, Jade Tusspot."
