AN: I'm glad SOME BODY liked it! And just so you know I did know Murdoc stays in his Winnebago, I was just unsure how to convey it :P by the way…to any one reading and NOT reviewing….I hope tiny orange monkeys gnaw your ankles off in your sleep.
Murdoc choked down Noodles 'special breakfast', which turned out to be scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. Only Noodle didn't seem to know you had to cook the bacon and that toast isn't toast unless you toast it. Murdoc had the worse time with the eggs, which were unnervingly crunchy. He was picking bits of shell out of his pointy teeth when Noodle walked back in, "you like breakfast?" she said happily and Murdoc grunted a yes, "good! Now where you want to go first?"
"Go? First?" He asked with a sinking feeling, "yes! I plan out all day! Just you and me!" The chipper oriental girl said, "You want go to zoo or park?"
"This is a nightmare…I must still be sleeping…" he said under his breath, "C'mon Muds wake up…wake up…" then he shut his eyes tight for a moment and slowly reopened one. There was Noodle, watching him curiously and waiting for him to answer. Murdoc sighed and rubbed his sore eyes, "I dunno…the zoo?"
Twenty minuets later Murdoc was holding Noodles hand and grumbling about the sunshine and how bloody much it was to get into the zoo, "We go see monkeys!" The girl said tugging at Murdocs arm, "and lions and tigers and bears!"
"Oh my…" the greasy guy grumbled. After that Noodle led him around the zoo, squealing about the penguins, gawking at the 'gators and swing off Murdoc arm till it almost fell off, "eeee! Murdoc! Murdoc look!" she squeaked practically ripping his arm off, "Go…rill…az…let's go there!" struggling to keep Russels threats in his head Murdoc walked over and looked down into the Gorilla pit. The big hairy beasts sat their scratching themselves and gazing up at them, "Looks like Russ, it does…" Murdoc said grinning down at a particularly large ape. It looked up at him and grunted, "yeah, I'm talking 'bout you, ya bleedin' ugly ape" The gorilla glared at him and stood up, "oooh scary monkey…naaaaah!" Murdoc stuck his oddly long tongue out at the gorillas, who were getting very angry. "Murdoc-san, I can't see!" Noodle said pulling at him, "fine…'ang on…" Murdoc reached down to pick her up when suddenly a passer by ran into him. Being unstable as he always was and holding the small girl, Murdoc fell over the edge, dropping Noodle and falling down to the planet of the apes, "ooo…this not good…" Noodle said watching the big monkeys advance on Murdoc, "he not like this…Murdoc not like this at all…" She winced as a crowd started to gather and said, "oh…that hurt bad when he conscious again…"
Noodle sat outside Murdocs hospital room and scratched 'fun at the zoo' off her list, "This harder than I thought…" she said to herself, "Murdoc almost seem happy at zoo…If only big mad gorillas not beat him up…" She then stood up and walked over to his door, "I not give up…Murdoc will be happy and not sad any more…" Noodle opened the door a little and said softly, "uh…I come in?" there was a muffled answer she took to be a yes. There was murdoc, almost completely covered in bandages and glaring at her with the eye that wasn't swollen shut, "uh…I sorry gorillas do bad things to you…" Noodle said, watching Murdoc shudder, "yeah well…lets just never go to th' zoo again…and uh…Noodle?"
"Yes?"
"Let's not tell the others, k?"
"Ok! Next we go to park and have ice-cream!" Murdoc looked at the small girl for a long time. Finally he sighed, causing another rib to pop and said, "Fine…as soon as I stop bleeding we'll go to the park…"
Yaaaay! Poor Murdoc….No animals or scary demon-guys were harmed in the making of this fic. Please R&R!
