Kay, Chapter six...
Noodle stuck her head back in the hot water coming from the showerhead, rinsing her the shampoo out of her hair. "Get the cool...get the cool shoeshine," she sung to herself. It was two years later, 2-D and her were still going strong, he'd proposed to her a year ago. They weren't ready to marry yet, just seeing how being engaged went. Noodle turned the water off and stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel off the counter. Still signing to herself as she dried her hair. Noodle wiped the steam off the mirror and looked at her reflection. She had changed over the years, her hair was longer now, almost to the small of her back, but still choppy and it still stuck out in sections. She dressed a little more like a girl now, she bought a few dresses and skirts, though she refused to wear heels or makeup. 2-D walked in as she pulled one of his over-sized tee shirts over her head. "'Ey, love," he said, hugging her from behind. "Mmmm...you smell good," he said, kissing the top of her head.
She giggled, "2-D-san, you're weird," 2-D gave a hurt expression, "I'm weird? Well, fine then, guess ya better get a guy who isn'" he said playfully. Noodle smiled and turned around in his arms, kissing his cheek. "No, 2-D-san. I like your weird, it's nice" she said into his ear. "Fanks," he said pulling her out of the bathroom. Noodle walked over to 2-D's bed and grabbed her pajama pants on, "heheh, forgot those," she said, grinning sheepishly. "Sure ya did," 2-D said, rolling his eyes. Noodle gave him a push, and he fell back onto the bed. "Wot was that for?" he asked innocently. Noodle laughed and jumped on top of him, her elbow hitting his side. 2-D sucked in his breath.
"2-D-san! I'm so sorry, are you okay?" He nodded and gritted his teeth. Noodle leaned in and kissed him, breaking away before he could react. "Let's go, 2-D-san!!" She dragged him out of bed and to the door. Murdoc had invited them over to his place, he'd finally moved out of that filthy Winnebago and into an actual apartment. Although the apartment was across the street from KONG, it was still an acomplishment. Noodle knocked on his door and heard a 'come in' from inside. 2-D reached for the doorknob and pushed the door open, what he saw inside wasn't like the usual Murdoc. Everything was neat and tidy, there werent any nude pictures on the wall. "Wow, Murdoc, wha' happened? This isn' like you at all..." said a stunned 2-D. Murdoc smiled proudly, "Ma girlfriend did it. Ya like it?" Noodle looked around, nodding her head. 2-D copied her, still looking shocked. The two of them sat down on the floor and Murdoc walked into the kitchen, returning eith a bottle of whiskey and a botle of vodka. "Le's ge this party started," he smiled.
Two hours later the three of them were drunk, signing every song that came on the radio. Everytime a new one came on, they would all jump and down yelling, "I LOVE this song!!" They drank three bottles of vokda and a bottle of whiskey in an hour and a half, Noodle was starting to feel a little sick to her stomach, she quit drinking after that. They were sitting around talking about how they liked their pancakes, when Paula walked in. (Yep, 2-D's ex-girlfriend) "'Ey, love," Murdoc said, getting up and kissing her cheek.
2-D shot a hateful look at Murdoc and took a long swig off the bottle of vodka. Noodle jumped up, she had never met Paula before, "Hello, I'm Noodle. It's very nice to meet you." she said, holding her hand out. Paula looked over Noodle before saying, "Nice to meet you too," but she didn't return the handshake. All of a sudden, Noodle wished she hadn't been so eager to meet this woman. Paula took a seat on the couch next to 2-D, taking Noodle's spot, to be exact. She sat and turned to 2-D, giving him a seductive look, "How have you been?" she asked in a sugar coated voice, unlike the bitter tone she had used on Noodle.
Noodle sat down on the floor, sulking. She didn't like this woman, not the least bit. 2-D and Paula held a conversation for a while, talking and laughing like old friends. Noodle was jealous and hated herself for feeling this way. The sick feeling in her stomach returned, her head started to pound and she let out a moan. 2-D stood up suddenly, running straight towards the bathroom. Retching sounds could be heard through out the house. This only made Noodle feel worse, the feeling making it's way up her stomach, "Oooohh..." she moaned and ran for the kitchen, puking down the sink. "Noods, you okay?" Murdoc asked.
Noodle shook her head, "I think it's time to go home," she managed. Paula walked up to her, "No, hun, you should stay here tonight. You can sleep on the couch, you shouldn't go anywhere if you're sick," she said, using that sickly sweet tone again. "What...what about 2-D?" Noodle asked, more worried about hom than herself. Paula smirked and said, "I'll walk him back to his room, since I'm the only sober one here," Noodle nodded, Paula was trying to be polite, wasn't she? She helped Noodle back to the couch and got a pillow and a blanket for her, settling her in and then went to get 2-D. She returned a few seconds later, leading 2-D by the arm, "I'll be right back, you get some sleep," she said, heading out the door. Noodle yawned and feel asleep.
She woke up with a start. It was pitch black, she sighed and layed back down, rolling over to snuggle up to 2-D, but her arm just hit the back of the couch. Everything came back to her, the drinking, the getting sick, Paula taking 2-D home. Noodle got up and folded the blanket and set it on the couch and felt her way towards the door, letting herself out. The sharp glare from the street lights made her head hurt and she hurried up. She entered the carpark and headed to 2-D's room. Even though they had been together such a long time, they still had seperate rooms for privacy's sake. Noodle opened the door and slipped in, shutting it quietly behind her and made her way to the bed.
She felt around and climbed over 2-D, only to discover someone else in bed next to him. Noodle froze, then jumped and ran to the door, feeling for the light switch on the wall, flipping it and lighting up the room. She turned and gasped, 2-D was still sleeping, and next him was Paula. Noodle exploded, "What the FUCK?!" 2-D sat up, blinking his his eyes from the light. "Huh?" he mumbled, looking at Noodle, "Love, come back to bed," he said and got up, taking a hold of her arm and attempting to drag her back into bed. "Back to bed? HA! I never went to bed," said sarcasticly, making his jaw drop, "Then who...?" he asked himself and turned to the bed.
Paula was still sleeping, 2-D was shocked, "But how...I-I thought that was you" he stuttered. Walking over and hit Paula's shoulder, she awoke with a start and sat up. "What the hell's goin' on 'ere?" he asked her. She gave Noodle a viscious smile and turned to 2-D, "Well, I brought you back to your room, you were throwing up. And when I got you here, you kinda...put some moves on me...and well.." she waved her hand, gersturing to his bed. 2-D grabbed her arm and flung her out of his bed, "Get tha FUCK out, filthy fuckin' whore," he spat at her. She grabbed her shirt and flounced out of the room. 2-D sunk to the floor, putting his face in his hands, "Noodle, love, I'm so sorry. I honestly don' know what happened there..." Noodle was beyond angry, she wanted to hurt Paula as much as possible.
2-D got up and walked to the bed, sitting down, "I shoulda seen this comin'. She's done this once before...wif one a my last girlfriend's...dammit," he said, "I'm so sorry, i love yeh more than you can ever imagine," Tears started streaming dowm his face and Noodle insides twisted up, she knew he was truly sorry. Noodle walked over to him and sat down on the floor in front of him, "2-D-san, it's okay. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at her." she said, reassuring him. 2-D stopped crying and cupped her face in his hand, smiling at her, "Noodle, you're the mos' amazin' girl I've ever met," he said kissing her forehead. He looked around at his bed, "I'd understand, though, if ya wanted ta sleep in yer room tonight," Noodle's face scrunched into a puzzled look, but then nodded. Getting up she grabbed his hand and started back to the door.
"Wot are ya doin' love?" he asked. Noodle smiled at him, "I want to sleep in my room, but not by myself." 2-D got her hint and stood up, but then changed his mind, making Noodle wait while he showered and changed clothes. She smiled at his damp appearence, he smelled delicious. They walked into the lobby and took the lift up to Noodle's room, she hadn't slept in here in a long time. Mike was asleep on top of her wardrobe, his little fez askew. Noodle pulled the blankets back and got in, her matress was the softest she'd ever slept on in her life and the purple silk sheets made it all the more comfortable. 2-D had never actually slept in Noodle's bed before, he got in and sighed. It was a lot more comfortable than his, he hugged Noodle to his chest,"Yah don' know how much I love you," he whispered into her ear, and they fell asleep.
The next morning, shouting could be heard throughout KONG. Noodle woke up to find 2-D already gone, she sighed and got out of bed, making her way to the kitchen. She had a slight hangover, nothing serious, just a headache and still felt a bit sick to her stomach. Russel was alredy in the kitchen, fixing waffles and bacon. Noodel sat down, "Morning Russel-san," she said, "do we have any aspirin?" Russel opened a cupboard overhead and grabbed a bottle, tossing it Noodle before shutting the cupboard. "You okay?" he asked, a concerned look on his face. "Yes, just not feeling too good," She unscrewed the cap and shook some of the pills into her hand, dropping the extra back in. Russel set a glass of orange juice in front of her, along with a plate of waffles. "Thank you," she said, sticking the pills in her mouth and taking a drink of juice, swallowing the pills. The shouting went on around them. 2-D walked in a sat next to Noodle, "'Ey, love. Feelin' any better?" She nodded, her mouth full of waffle.
"What's going on outside?" she questioned, not directly asking either of them, but hoping for a response. 2-D laughed and said "Murdoc kicked Paula out. I would to after what she did. Turns out she slept with a few of Murdoc's other friends too," Noodle chocked on a piece of waffle, "What? Seriously?" she asked. 2-D nodded, thanking Ruessel for the plate of food he just sat down in front him. The yelling continued most of the day, stopping around dinnertime when Paula finally packed all of her things and called a cab.
Murdoc came over after Paula left, flopping down on the couch. He sighed and said "Sorry 'bout everything that happened last night, 'Specially you, Noodle," 2-D smiled, "S'okay Muds, I'm not mad atcha," Noodle hugged Murdoc, "I am not mad either Murdoc-san," Murdoc grinned, "Well, maybe I shoud jus' move back in here, my apartment seems kinda lonely," he said, but the looks on 2-D and Noodle's faces changed his mind. He laughed and said, "I was only jokin', calm down," A zombie flick came on and they spent the rest of the night watching movies and arguing over litle things. It seemed everything in KONG was back to normal...well, almost normal.
