(Disclaimer; same)
(I've done my exam, so now more time to do this, yay :D sorry for keeping you hanging for a day or twoooo. r+r:) )
Noodle carried on up the steep slope of a road, panting as she slumped down by a wall for a quick breather.
She'd been staring at a tree for a few minutes when a weird feeling erupted in her tummy
'I'm… 16…' Noodle said aloud, realizing she'd been 16 for almost a day now. As she rested, she thought of all the exciting things being 16 could bring…. College, even though she didn't need it, new found independence, some other useless junk that she wasn't really fussed about… and then her mind found what she'd been looking for.
A smirk played across her face as she thought of the torture she'd be able to put boys through, although Noodle wasn't dumb enough to climb into bed with any old boy, she'd have fun playing them along.
Noodle only wanted one person. The one she needed to get back to soon or risk loosing him. That lanky, slightly dumb looking, blue haired… God.
A new found strength surged through Noodle as she thought of 2D; she leapt up and sprinted up the road, dark gloomy building of Kong slowly getting bigger as she neared her home.

2D slowly opened the door, took a deep breath and peered inside.
…Noodle's room had been turned upside down. Not literally. Her chest of drawers had been thrown across the room, clothes strewn all across the floor, photos thrown everywhere, guitar smashed on top of her wardrobe, and her bed was all messed up too.
2D's anger boiled up as he lunged at the culprit.
'YOU WANNA FUCKIN' MESS WIT' NOODLE'S ROOM, YOU GONNA MESS WIT' ME FIRST, YA SCABBY DEMON TWAT' 2D roared, shaking the brown creature violently.
The creature fell limp as 2D throttled it, slowly dying of lack of oxygen.
'Good… ya little vermin lungs don't deserve Th' air Noodle once breathed' 2D mumbled, throwing the dead demon out into the hall and slamming the door.
'OI DULLARD, WHA' THE FUCK!' moaned a voice from outside the door
2D, startled, threw open the door to see a very disgruntled Murdoc cradling his nose.
'Ya twat… oh… demons been messing up Nood's room again?' Murdoc enquired, lighting a cigarette up and blowing the smoke into 2D's face.
'Yeh, taught' the lil' fucker a lesson or two…' 2D mumbled, shoving his hands in his pockets. Murdoc laughed loudly before choking on the smoke he'd inhaled.
'Me and Russ are poppin' down to th' pub, heard some stories about our Nood's and we wanna see what's goin' on. Back in a few hours, face ache' Murdoc said, turning around and sauntering down the corridor.
2D stood at the door until he heard the Geep screech out of the car park.
Slowly, 2D shut the door and surveyed the mess.
His onyx eyes scoured the room, until they fell on a black covered velvet book, with 'Photo Album' written in silver italics spiralled across the front cover. It was a present 2D had given Noodle on her 15th birthday, with 3 pages of photo's with just them two in, and a little paragraph written to Noodle.
Smiling, 2D reached for the book and gently opened it. On the 4th page, Noodle had stuck a photo of her and 2D on Valentines Day, when 2D was upset because of the whole Paula fiasco… yes; it still upsets him to this day. Noodle had her arms around 2D's neck and she was kissing his cheek, laughing, as 2D was held a fluffy brown bear holding a heart, beaming to the camera, a slight red tinge to his cheeks.
Underneath the photo' Noodle had scribbled, 'Valentines Day, 2005. 2D+ Me. He'll be mine… one day. Best day of my life No.3 :) xxx'
2D grinned at the page and closed the book, holding it close to his chest. Noodle had never let anyone look at her photo album, with good reason… 2D thought.
He sunk down on her bed and just stared at the photo album, minutes crawling past as he stared at the velvety cover.

Noodle ran and ran, not pausing for a minute as the Kong building steadily grew larger.
Her purple hair flew wildly behind her as she sprinted up the steep hill, tripping every so often over her own feet, guitar banging the back of her knees.
No one stopped and took notice of Noodle; most people were drunk or didn't recognise her under the orangey glow of the lampposts.
As Noodle passed 'The Black Crow Pub' she paused for breath, knowing she was only 10 minutes away from Kong now.
She slumped outside the pub, against a wall, just away from the light from the lamppost, hidden in the shadows.
Noodle looked around in curiosity, laughing quietly at the drunken people stumble and fall down curbs and manholes when she heard two familiar voices.
'Whad'ya reckon they've been sayin', Russ? Reckon they've seen 'er?' a deep voice mumbled, in a distinctive English accent.
'Not a clue Muds, not a clue.' A New Yorker replied.
Noodle's eyes widened as she heard the voices grow quieter. They'd obviously entered the pub.
'Russel and Murdoc…' she breathed 'they haven't forgotten about me!'
Noodle smiled into her knees and suddenly thought. '2D must still be in Kong…'
Her face set with determination, Noodle took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes.
'Right… only 10 more minutes Noodle… 10…more…minutes'
Noodle waved at the backs of Murdoc and Russel before getting up and sprinting up the final bit of the hill.

Russel glanced behind him and Murdoc as they entered the pub. Russel knew Murdoc had a nice little gang of haters here, and they probably won't give tonight amiss.
As Russel glanced back, he saw a flash of purple and black round the corner towards the long sloping drive of Kong.
His white eyes grew wide as he recalled the scene in his head.
'No… it can't be…' he thought to himself, blinking rapidly before following Murdoc into the pub.
Russel was quiet for a few moments as they sat down at a shady table in the corner of the pub.
Murdoc was shiftily glancing about, obviously looking for someone or something, when he noticed the lack of speech from the giant hulk of a New Yorker.
'Russ, what's up? Whatcha heard?' he growled, eyeing the drummer.
Russel looked out the window and back at Murdoc, leaning forwards to block out any eavesdroppers.
'Y'know Muds… I swear I just saw Noodle…'
