A.N: Aww…you guys are so sweet…I nearly died when I read the reviews!

TYTYTYTY!

2D insisted that Noodle had a bandanna tied around her eyes as he drove her out to this 'party.' She, of course, agreed. 2D was being so…himself, and she loved it. The drive took a while…Noodle guessed about 45 minutes. The whole time 2D was singing songs from their Gorillaz album. She soaked up and savored every second of it. Finally, the jeep came to a smooth stop. 2D leaned over and untied the blindfold and Noodle saw herself look at an…arcade.

"An arcade?" asked Noodle.

"You'll luv it!" cried 2D jumping out of the vehicle, "really, I promise ya!"

Noodle got out and walked in stride with 2D into the arcade. It was scarcely filled with a few random games, most of them driving games.

"2D?" asked Noodle, "is that correct?"

2D nodded as he went up to the counter. He talked to the manager, signed an autograph for him, and turned back to Noodle.

"Noodle," he said, taking her hand and leading her to the far left of the room, "since it's yer birthday, I wanna treat you to something special."

Noodle nodded, a bit confused.

"I come 'ere almost e'ery weekend," he explained, "and they luv me to death…ya know why?"

"Because you're 2D?"

He chuckled, "because I tell 'em, I tell 'em, that one day, I'm gonna bring along the prettiest girl that they e'er seen! They play along wit' it e'ery week. An' today is that day. They said, when I did, I'd get in fer free. They ne'er believed me, but I proved 'em wrong. When the manager saw you, 'e knew."

Noodle blushed.

"I been bragging 'bout you for ages now. An' I want to share one of my passions wit' ya."

He opened up a door on the far side of the arcade and pushed her in and followed her close behind. The room was black with black lights hanging from the ceiling and glow in the dark paint splattered on the walls. Along with it came two vest packs, phasers, and another door.

"Laser tag?" asked Noodle.

2D grinned, Noodle could tell from seeing a few of his white teeth glow in the black light, and nodded. "E'er done it before?"

"No…"

"Great!" cried 2D grabbing a vest pack and handing it to Noodle, "you're gonna luv it!"

They were on opposite sides of the eerie room, vest packs charging, phasers in hand. They smoke came around them and the clock started. Noodle ducked behind one of the rock polls in the room and slowly inched her way forward to 2D's base. All she had to do was break into it, score, and go back to her base, and she won. It sounded so easy for a martial arts master. However, she was wrong. She inched closer and closer, seeing 2D with his back turned to her, facing the base. Damn. She couldn't get in without passing by him.

"Oh…2D…." whispered Noodle.

He looked the other way. Noodle giggled. Silly 2D. Quickly she dashed past him and scored in his base…hitting the target first shot.

"Not so fast!" exclaimed 2D, aiming at the sensor on her back. "Move, and I'll shoot!"

"2D-kun," said Noodle, "You'd shoot me?"

2D smiled, "Ok, lil' luv. If that's wot you fink, I'm startin' a new game."

He went over to the main control panel and pressed a few buttons.

"Now," he said, "firs' to fifteen kills wins."

Noodle jumped up and booked it back to her side of the room. Panting from the smoke, she ducked behind a wall structure and looked around. Man, this was intense….her adrenaline was pumping, she could feel her heart in her throat. And then…. A red laser beam…came close to her head. Quickly she crawled back and to another section of the large room.

The game went on for a good half an hour. They were, remarkably, a good match. Returning blows, slowly taking their 'lives' from each other. Ironically, it was a dead tie. Noodle was panting, her side aching, sweat was dripping down her back, and 'survival' was all that was on her mind.

"Come out…come out…wherever you are…" whispered Noodle.

"'Ell, I would," said 2D from behind.

She whipped around.

"But then, I'd hav' to win," he grinned holding his phaser up to her front senor.

"But it's my birthday!" protested Noodle, trying to act innocent, when she had her phaser aimed at the front sensor at 2D.

"I tell ya wot," said 2D cautiously approaching her, "les' make a deal."

Noodle hesitated…she was so into the game…she could see how 2D would love it so much too…so…addicting.

He came closer, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, gun pointed right to front sensor.

"We can both win," he whispered in her ear right before he kissed her smack dab on the lips.

Noodle was caught up with surprise and bliss. She kissed back, unleashing every emotion she had held in for three years.

…and then..

BLEEP!

"Game over, 2D wins."

"I gotcha," whispered 2D.

A.N: FINISHED! Thank you to all of those who read. I really think this didn't turn out half bad for my first FF ever…well, it's addicting, so I shall be starting a new one, very shortly.
