Chapter 7
"Ya okay, love?" 2-D asked. Noodle looked a bit pale, she'd been complaing of stomachaches for the past week. She gave 2-D a weak smile, "Yes. The flu is going around, I must have gotten it," 2-D pulled her closer and hugged her. Noodle sighed and rested her head on his shoulder, wishing the feeling in her stomach would go away. 2-D stood up and pulled Noodle up with him, "C'mon, the pizza'll be here any minute now," he said. It was Wednesday, a while back, Noodle suggested they have a 'family night' once a week. Tonight they'd picked out a movie and ordered pizza. They walked out to 2-D's room to find Murdoc waiting impatiently, he had already paid for the pizza and was holding the stack of pizza boxes uncomfortably to his chest. 2-D laughed, "Fanks, Muds. Hang on.." he dug around in his pocket for his keys. He unlocked the door and they made their way inside, 2-D flipped the light switch and the room light up. Noodle hopped on the bed, watching Murdoc set the pizza down. 2-D tossed his keys on a chair and walked over to put the movie in, turning off his pong game so they could use the middle screen to watch the movie on.
Murdoc grabbed a slice of pizza and ate most of it in one bite. Noodle laughed at him as he chewed, his mouth full of pizza. He chewed and swallowed as fast as he could, he had forgotten about the pizza being hot. Noodle got up and walked out to the carpark and back inside, going up to the kitchen to get some sodas. Russel was already in the kitchen, making some popcorn and melting caramel in a double boiler on the stove. "Mmmm...that smells good, Russel-san." She said lingering over stove, the smell from the caramel was making her mouth water. Russel smiled and turned the popcorn maker off, pouring the contents into a large bowl and turning the stove off. Noodle opened the fridge and grabbed two six-packs of soda from the bottom shelf. She stayed behind for a few minutes, waiting for Russel, watching as poured the pan of caramel over the popcorn. The two headed back to 2-D's room, Noodle tossed Murdoc a soda. He gave her a scowl and said "About time," Noodle took a slice of pizza, eating it slowly so she wouldn't upset her stomach anymore than it already was.
Halfway through the movie, Noodle started to feel nauseous. 2-D looked over at her hunched up figure,"Ya sure you're okay?" he asked. "Yeah, I think I need some fresh air, though. I'll be back in a couple minutes," Noodle got up and walked out of 2-D's room and into the the lobby, calling the lift. She rode all the way to the top of Kong, stepping out in the corridoor, she found the door that led to the roof. She stepped out into the cool air, feeling somewhat better. Walking to the edge, she sat down and dangled her legs over the side, watching stray cars roam up and down the deserted streets. Noodle looked up to the stars, they twinkled brightly, speckling the sky. She felt better now, she stood up to leave, not noticing the shadowy figure behind her. Noodle gave a last look at the sleepy city before turning, before coming face to face with Paula. Noodle gasped, "P-Paula. What are you doing here?"
Paula smiled,"Well, I was waiting for 2-D to come up here, but this is much, much better," Noodle was a little scared, and it was showing. There was a noise behind Paula and both turned to look. The polar bear stood in the doorway,"Hey, wha's goin' on?" he asked, looking surprised. Paula turned back to Noodle,"You really shouldn't have fucked with me," she said, giving her the most hateful look before shoving her off the egde of Kong. Noodle didn't have time to think as she fell backwards, screaming at the top of her lungs,"Twooo-deeee," She landed with a sickining splat on the ground below. The bolar bear ran foward, shoving Paula to the ground, growling in her face. "You bitch," he said. And that was the last thing Paula knew, the polar bear raised his gigantic paw and smacked her in the side of her head, knocking her out.
2-D was just starting to worry about Noodle, she'd been gone an awful long time. He got up and walked ouside, looking around the carpark for her. He had no luck with this and walked inside into the lobby calling her name. He heard a sound outside and walked back out, not expecting the sight before him. "Oh..oh my GOD!!" 2-D ran forward, kneeling over Noodle's lifeless body, cradling her head in his arms. "Love, please, please...wake up, oh God.." he sobbed into her hair, not caring that he was getting blood on himself. Murdoc followed 2-D out, he could've sworn he heard 2-D yelling. "2-D, where are ya..?" he stopped dead in his tracks. Was that Noodle? No..it couldn't be...could it? "2-D? Oh God, tha's not...Noodle is it?" Murdoc's head swam and he fell to his knees, what the hell was going on?
Ten minutes later the house was swarming with ambulances and police cars. 2-D was in shock, hitting and kicking any paramedics that tried to pull him away from Noodle's body. It took Murdoc and Russel to coax him away. Sure they had to lie to him to do so, but they couldn't let him stay out all night with a dead body. The police arrested Paula after the polar bear had dragged her unconcious form down to them. The rest of the night was a blur, everything went by so fast, yet time seemed to pass by terribly slow. Murdoc and Russel stayed up with 2-D through the night comforting him, telling him everything was going to be okay, though they knew it wasn't. 2-D finally fell asleep, they left him in Noodle's room, not wanting to disturb him anymore. Before Murdoc left the room, he pulled something out of his pocket and placed it in 2-D's open plam, hoping this would somehow comfort him and pulled the covers up over him.
I'm mean, huh? But don't worry, everything will get better. I'll have the next chapter up later tonight
