Hey! This is my first story, I'm really excited, but also really inexperienced. Please don't send hate! Tell me what you think about this. WARNING: frightening/gruesome images in this chapter, I will warn you when it is gonna start and when its gonna end. Thanks for reading this!

2D was stumbling into his room, having been completely wasted. How he got home, he had no idea. But whatever happened, his head was throbbing and he noticed what appeared to be a temporary tattoo of a peace sign on his forearm.

"Huh," he mumbled,"What th' hell happened last night?" He tripped over his own feet attempting to get onto his bed.

"I guess something really weird happened, I would never have gotten a tattoo, 'specially of a peace sign. Murdoc'll have me head for that one."

He fell onto the bed, not feeling tired, but he instantly feel into a deep, dreamless sleep.

The next morning, 2D, as expected, threw up a large amount. He stumbled into the kitchen, tripping over almost anything. No one was there. Weird, he thought. He got himself some bread, toasted it, and smeared a large amount of jam on it.

He ran into Murdoc. 2D flinched. Murdoc, as expected, was not happy about the tattoo. "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU GOIN' AROUND WEARIN' A PEACE SIGN FOR?!"

"I-I dunno. It was there ever since last night. Dunno what happened then," 2D replied.

"Oh. Ya just got drunk, thats all. Alroight, I'll handle it, as long as you keep it covered up."

He ran into Russel, too. "Hey 'D, have you seen Noodle-girl? I haven't seen her since last night."

2D groggily shook his head no.

He walked with uncertainty into the living room, collapsing onto the couch. He turned on the TV to see the news, seeing that a gruesome murder had happened. It just so happened to be right down the street from them. I guess I'll check it out, then, He thought.

He put on his coat, slipped on some shoes, and headed out. He walked down to see police tape, covering the area, as expected. A crowd was gathered around the crime scene. 2D wasn't really phased by dead bodies, maybe from seeing too many zombie movies. He walked over, his head towering over everyone. He thought this was lucky, as he could see it without anyone blocking him.

WARNING: GRUESOME IMAGES START HERE. IF YOU ARE FRIGHTENED BY THESE, SKIP AHEAD UNTIL YOU SEE IT STOP, WHICH WILL BE INDICATED.

The body was horribly mangled, blood spilling everywhere. It was completely disemboweled, with the eyes gouged out. There were multiple stab wounds, all over the back. The blood seemed fresh. He tried to see closer, trying to see what they looked like.

GRUESOME IMAGES STOP HERE. I KNOW, THAT WAS SHORT, BUT WHATEVER.

2D saw closer, getting some extra details. Suddenly, his stomach twisted in a knot. His eyes frozen in fear and despair, he realized who the body was.

It was Noodle.

Tears welled up in his eyes, as he charged through the crowd and through the police tape. Sobbing, he cradled what was left of Noodle in his arms. He ran back to the house, bursting through the door, exclaiming, "N-noodle! I-I don't-I don't..."

Russel barreled down the hall not bothering to put on a jacket or shoes. Murdoc followed suite. They raced down the street. As Russel and Murdoc charged through the crowd, they had similar reactions. The police approached them, and Murdoc yelled, "GET THE FUCK AWAY, OR I SWEAR TO SWEET SATAN I'LL-I'LL..."

Murdoc collapsed onto his knees, sobbing. Russel was just standing there dumbfounded. How could this have happened? How?

The EMT arrived, taking Noodle away on a stretcher.

They got in their car, back at home. They were going to the Morgue, first thing. They drove down the street, going as fast as possible. Murdoc wanted to break the speed limit, but Russel, who was still in shock, abided the law.

They arrived at the morgue. They asked for her, but the lady at the desk seemed confused. They just rushed in and tried to find Noodle. They eventually found her, the autopsy being complete. 2D, was completely horrified. He got on his knees, put his head in his hands, and sobbed. Russel joined him. Murdoc... well Murdoc didn't really react.

Russel gave 2D a big, crushing hug. "I love you 'D, no matter what I say. I just hope this won't tear us apart."

2D returned the hug, crying all over Russel. "I love you too, Russ. You're one of the best friends I've had."

Hi again! I feel like this chapter moved too fast. Let me know, and I'll try to fix that in the future. See you next time!

(Btw, I do not support any ships. None of that is gonna happen here.)
