Later on, 2D and Noodle were at the local café eating and talking.

"You know, I feel closer to you than I did before." She said.

"Really?" 2D asked, interested in what she had to say.

"Yeah. Almost like we have a Zen bond. It seems like 2D and I have lost ours…" Noodle said sounding a bit sad.

"Well Noodle, don't think about too much. He's probably not himself." 2D explained.

"I guess so. So, what's been going on with you?" Noodle asked. "You haven't been drinking a lot, and you hang around me and Russel a lot. It's almost like you and 'D have switched personalities." Noodle said, jokingly.

"We've switched more than that…" 2D mumbled.

"What was that? I didn't quite hear you."

"N-NOTHING!" 2D said nervously.

Noodle changed the subject. "I never got the chance to ask you; how did you enjoy New Orleans?"

"It was nice. Despite all of the embarrassing moments." 2D laughed.

"Yeah. It would have been much more relaxing without those, I'm sure." Noodle laughed, her emerald eyes sparkling.

2D could feel heat rise to his face. "S-so, how did you like it?"

"It was wonderful. I enjoyed the suite very much." Noodle said.

The waitress came and handed them their bill, which 2D paid in full. He also left enough money to cover his tip and Noodle's. "Now that we're done, what do you want to do now?" he asked Noodle.

"The movies?" Noodle suggested.

"Sure. Why not?" 2D grinned.

The couple went to see the scariest movies that was showing, which really wasn't that scary. Once it was over, they came walking out of the theater.

"Well, that sucked." Noodle huffed.

"I fell asleep!" 2D said.

"Yeah, the whole row was complaining about how loud your snoring was." Noodle giggled.

"We should make our own movie." 2D suggested.

"You DO remember what happened the last time we did that, right? You strangled 2D and left us."

2D shuttered at the thought.

"Murdoc, the directors keep changing our scripts. And it ain't helpin' nothin' with you constantly bein' high, man." Russel scolded Murdoc.

"Shut it, Fatass! This is my band, and I do whatever the Hell I please!" Murdoc argued back.

"You know, it's no wonder why none of your previous bands never succeeded. You're an asshole, and assholes don't succeed in life!" Russel shot back.

"It's no wonder why you're so fat. All you do is bitch, and people that bitch stress and eat until they get fat!" Murdoc shouted, his voice steadily getting louder.

"All you do is make fat jokes! Is that all you can come up with?!" Russel's booming voice screamed.

Meanwhile, 2D sat in the corner curled up with Noodle in his lap. He hugged her tighter to keep him calm. He felt himself coming to his wit's end fast.

"OKAY! YOU WANT ME TO SAY OTHER SHIT?!" Murdoc screamed.

Before he could say anything else, 2D intervened. "STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!" 2D screamed. "Murdoc, you're being ridiculous! Whenever someone tries to tell you something for your own good, you fucking insult them. Shut the fuck up and listen sometime! Russel has a good point." He shouted.

"NO! How about you shut the fuck up for once, huh!" Murdoc said as he walked over to 2D and punched him in the face. Noodle screamed and jumped out of his lap. Murdoc grabbed him by the neck and stood 2D on his feet. Murdoc wrapped him hands tightly around 2D's neck and shook him frantically. He could hear Noodle screaming in gibberish and Russel swearing in the background.

"Get the hell off of 'D!" Russel shouted as he quickly made his way towards them. He tried and tried to pry Murdoc off of him. He finally succeeded and he slammed Murdoc against the wall to scream in his face. Noodle quickly ran to 2D's side to see if he was okay. "YOU FUCKIN' ASSHOLE! THAT BOY WAS TURNING BLUE! WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IF I WASN'T HERE?!"

Murdoc pushed Russel out of his way and started packing. Before they knew it, he was all packed up and was out the door.

"Murdoc? Are you listening?" Noodle said as she touched 2D's arm, which snapped him out of the flashback.

"Er, what were you saying?" 2D asked.

"I was telling you that we were home." Noodle said as she got her keys out and unlocked the door. They walked in together to see Russel and Murdoc sitting on the couch watching whatever was on television. Their attentions immediately snapped towards Noodle and 2D.

"How was your time out?" Russel asked.

"It was fun." Noodle replied. She went upstairs to her room.

"You didn't try to make a move on her, did you?" Russel asked threateningly.

"NO!" 2D said.


Later that night, 2D and Murdoc were in 2D's room having another 'meeting'

"So, what is she thinking so far?" Murdoc asked.

"Well, she said she feels like you and her have lost the Zen bond."

"Really? So wherever your, like soul is, you guys still share that bond?" Murdoc asked.

"I guess. Hey, if our souls have switched bodies, why did you switch? I thought you sold your soul a longtime ago." 2D said.

"I did. Remember, Camellia talked to Satan and he agreed to all of this."

"Oh yeah. How was she able to do all of this if she's a voodoo witch? I thought they worked with herbs and black magic. Not the devil himself."

"I don't know. She's an odd one. I'm starting think she's more than just a voodoo witch…" Murdoc said.

"I don't know. Right about now, I don't even care. Next week we'll be in our own bodies again." 2D said with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Yeah." Murdoc said, smiling a bit. "I'm not really feeling the masturbating thing. I can't wait until next week.

"Yeah. You get to be a man whore again." 2D said half joking.

"Yeah. And you can be a pansy in your body." Murdoc laughed.

"You think we'll still get along after all of this?" 2D asked.

"Probably. It's like it was before the band started."

"Yeah. Good times, good times." 2D sighed.

"I remember how I used to perform rituals on your body while you were sleep." Murdoc laughed.

"I know. I woke up one night while you were cutting the devil star into my chest…" 2D said while glaring at Murdoc.

"One week while you were in your coma, you got possessed by a demon and started walking around. At first I thought you woke up, until I saw you eat a rat that you that was crawling around. Then I had to draw the demon out of you." Murdoc chuckled, earning him a terrified look from 2D.

"…How did you get it out?" 2D asked, a bit terrified to hear the answer.

"I simply took your blood and mixed it with this bird's blood. I had to convince her to worship Satan. 'Course that only sent the demon to her body, but I didn't care. I beheaded her and took her body to the gates of Hell were all of the beasts fed on her body. I had to ask Satan to make sure I didn't get caught by the police. And that no more demons bothered you." Murdoc said as if it were nothing.

2D's irises got small. He was petrified. "…"

"Aww, don't be scared. Unless you have a seizure or you go into a coma again, you won't run the risk of getting possessed." Murdoc tried to reassure 2D.

"…I think I need to go to sleep…" 2D said blankly as he got up and headed out of Murdoc's room.

"Don't let the demons get ya if you sleep too hard!" Murdoc laughed. "Dumbass. They only come for you if your soul is in the correct body. He shouldn't worry until next week. Plus, I was just kidding about the beheading part." He said to himself.


The rest of the remaining week was filled with Murdoc and 2D forming a bond, and of course getting along. With each passing day, they became more and more excited. Then, their very last day creeped up on them.

"Tomorrow is the day." Murdoc said to 2D.

"Yeah. Today is the last day."

"I think I might miss being in your body." Murdoc said.

The boys were quiet for a minute. They both spoke up at the same time. "A lie." They burst into laughter.

"This was one hell of an experience, huh?" 2D asked.

"Yeah it was. I don't think I'll ever forget this."

"I don't think I will, either." 2D said.

"So, you're excited to finally get to be a couple with Noodle?" Murdoc asked.

"Yeah. I miss her a lot."

"How cute." Murdoc said with a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You wouldn't be able to understand. You don't have a heart."

"Ouch. That hurt." Murdoc said with sarcasm.

2D glared at Murdoc. "I still hate you, asshole." He said with a smile.

"And I still hate you, brain dead freak." Murdoc said with a smirk.

2D pulled Murdoc into a tight hug.

Murdoc raised an eyebrow. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because I know that starting tomorrow you're gonna kick my ass again." 2D said.

"Yeah. You're right." Murdoc said as he hugged 2D back.
