CHAPTER 4

A few weeks went by, and the two members got more and more comfortable with each other. But if they were left alone in a room, they would immediately disperse. They wanted to be friends again, because "V-Day," as 2D called it, was coming up soon.

As the day came even closer, Noodle was hanging around the guys more and more.

One day, Murdoc was walking around Kong, seeing if Noodle was near. Then again, she started following him. "Oy!" he yelled, "what in bloody hell are you doing?"

"I just want to spend some times with you guys…"

"And, the next 40 years are exactly what, luv?"

Noodle came over and hugged Murdoc. "I'm scared."

Murdoc, a little surprised by Noodle's behavior, put his arms around her. "About what, luv?"

"I might die…"

He squeezed her. "Hey… you're not gonna die… and believe me, luv, if you got even a step near harm, one of us is gonna save you. Believe me."

Noodle nodded and wiped a little tear from her eyes. "Thanks, Murdoc-san."

"Come on… stop crying… you're 18, luv, no need for tears!"

Noodle smiled and walked out of the room.

--------------------------------------- - Big bold line OF DOOM

The day before the big day, Noodle decided to face her fears and talk to 2D… alone.

She wasn't surprised to hear the music blasting in his room. He always had something on that would block out hearing. This time it was El Manana. Odd, she thought, he's always avoiding out music… what's the occasion? She went up to the door and knocked as loud as she could. Her knuckles were starting to turn red when finally the door opened, and a shirtless, smoking 2D was staring at her with his blank eyes.

"What d'ya wan- Noods!" he replied, startled.

"Hi, 2D… can we have a chat?"

"Uh, yeah! Come on inside, luv!" he said moving out of the way.

She stepped inside and looked around. It had been a few weeks since she had been in here, and that was the day things had gotten a little out of hand. But she had been thinking about it, and honestly, she wished that she could re-live that moment again.

"So, uh, wot did ya want ta talk 'bout, luv?" 2D asked as he looked for a shirt around his room.

"Well, I mean, I thought we should just… talk, alone…"

2D sat down on his bed. "Is this 'bout tomorrow?"

Noodle sat down next to him and crossed her arms across her chest. She nodded slowly and looked at the ground. Tears started coming to her eyes, and her loud sniffles caused 2D to wince. He put his arm around her shoulder and rubbed her arms. "'ey… it's okay! No need t'cry! Come on, luv."

"I'm just so scared."

2D rested his head on hers and sighed. "For a while there, I wos, too."

Noodle looked up. "You were?"

"Yep. I kept on coming up wit' thoughts that you would die, and I wos scaring myself."

Noodle hugged 2D around the middle. "You are my best friend, 2D-san, and I don't want to be away from you."

He continued rubbing her arm and kissed the top of her head. "You won' 'ave to worry 'bout that. Just know I'll always be right outside, lookin' out for ya, luv. And you always got my voice near, if ya ever need to 'ear that."

Noodle smiled and snuggled into his ribs. "Please don't leave me on the windmill island alone… please!"

2D pet her head and watched the purple tint move like a wave as his hand struck it. "I can' do that, but I will be close. You'll be okay, as long as Muds and Russ and I are there. You're gonna be okay." She started crying again. "'ey… come on… Noods, please stop cryin' like that. It makes me sad."

Noodle laughed and wiped her tears away and sat up a bit. "Sorry, 2D-san." She continually mopped up the tears from her eyes, trying to stop crying, but failing.

2D stood up and smiled. He leaned towards her and said, "I know somefin' that will cheer ya up!" He walked around and looked
around the floors, picking up dirty shirts and pants and occasionally mumbling a "where is it?" Finally, he yelled, "Aha!" and hid something behind his back. "When I feel sad, I always bring out, Mr. Fluffybuns!" He pulled out a blue stuffed rabbit, almost half ripped open, with only one eye. It was a scary doll, but you could tell that it was loved, and loved a lot.

"So, 2D-san, this is your therapist through your life?"

"'ey! Don' make fun o' Mr. Fluffybuns! 'e's helped me through a lot of 'ard times! I've 'ad him since I was a wee boy."

Noodle held it in her arms and smiled. "It is quite cute, but I didn't think you liked bunnies."

"I do, luv! I really do!"

She laughed. "You're funny, 2D-san."

He walked over and embraced her in a hug. "You take good care o' 'im, okay? 'e's my only childhood remains… but I think ya need 'im more."

Noodle began to cry again. "Please don't let go," she whispered as she fell into the hug.

"I'll never leggo."

And with that, she fell asleep.

-------------------------------------------------- - 2nd bold line... OF DOOM!

When she woke up, she didn't know where she was. There was an alarm clock next to her, and it read 3:oo am. Where am I? She thought. Then she remembered the night before, her heartfelt talk with 2D and Mr. Fluffybuns, and she realized that she was still in 2D's room. She was lying on his bed, and next to her there was a big imprint of where he had been sitting and an empty bottle of pills. 2D was nowhere to be found.

She shook her head and got out of the bed. Her shoes were placed silently next to the door, so she slipped them on and walked outside. It was eerie at this time in the morning. Even Murdoc's Winni was silent and dark. It was a lot colder outside 2D's room, so she bundled herself up into her jacket and continued to walk up to the top of Kong. When she arrived at the elevator, she decided to go to the top floor, seeing as the roof was the most peaceful place to be at the time.

When she arrived at the roof, there was a familiar smell of cigarettes and a blue-haired figure looking over the side. Silently she walked up and stood next to him.

"Sorry I fell asleep," she replied softly.

2D took a drift off his cigarette and blew out the smoke, making a small ring. "Ya must be cold, luv. It's under 10 degrees out 'ere." He began to take off his jacket and slowly placed it over her shoulders.

Noodle smiled and watched as the dark critters scurried around on the ground, scouraging up some food before dawn. "You are too kind, 2D-san."

He bent over and put his head on the ledge as he looked out. "Wanna know a secret?"

She turned around and leaned her back against the ledge, resting her elbows on the small wall. "What is it?"

He leaned in closer. "I love ya."

"What?"

He shrugged. "Sorry, luv… I didn't mean ta bother ya."

"No," she replied, "you weren't… I was just trying to get what you just said through my mind. What did you say?"

"I love ya, Noodle. I always 'ave."

She gazed into his dark eyes and even though she couldn't see anything, she knew he wasn't lying. He pulled her head towards him and they kissed, under the moonlight, with his cigarette still burning in his right fingers.

AWWWWWWW! SO CUTE! a little sick, but STILL SO CUTE!!!!! okay... R&R please and thanks!
