The doorbell rang. "That must be Noodle's date," Russel said. He frowned as did Murdoc and 2d. Russel opened the door and sure enough, Johnny was standing outside. "Hello," he said to Russel. "Is Noodle ready to go?" "Noodle, Johnny is here." 2d yelled upstairs. "I'll be down in a minute." Noodle yelled back. "Why don't you come in?" Russel politely offered Johnny. "Thank you," Johnny said as he slowly walked in Kong Studios. "This place is real huge," he said while looking around. "Yeah it's pretty big," 2d said trying to make a conversation. "I've gotten lost in here once or twice." Johnny laughed a little and then there was an awkward silence. "Look Johnny," Murdoc said after staying quiet for a long time. "I just want to say, Noodle is a really nice girl so don't try anything funny with her," "Yes sir," Johnny said, obviously a little scared of Murdoc. "What Murdoc means is that this is the first time Noodle has been on a date so we don't want anything bad happening to her," Russel explained. "Don't worry, she's in good hands," Johnny said. "Those good hands better keep to themselves," Russel mumbled. "We just want Noodle to have a good time," 2d said. "But not too good." he quickly added. "Hello Johnny," Noodle's voice said from the stairs. Everyone turned and what they saw made them go, "Wow." Noodle looked so beautiful. She had her hair up in a cute little ponytail and everyone could see her wonderful emerald green eyes and her face was painted with makeup that brought out her natural beauty a little more. She wore a really pretty but casual black dress with a pair of black boots to match. Noodle wasn't much of a high heel person. "Do I look okay?" Noodle asked as she came downstairs. "You look amazing Noodle," Johnny told her. He then took her hand and gave it a small kiss. "Then again, you always do," Noodle just simply blushed and smile. "I hope you two have a good time tonight," Gwen said when she came downstairs. "I'm sure we will," Noodle said. Johnny opened the door for Noodle and then they were gone. "Noodle said I can spend the night here," Gwen told the remaining band members. "You guys don't mind do you?" "Not at all," Murdoc said smiling. "You can stay as long as you want," Russel told her also smiling. "You can even move here if you want," 2d said with a big grin. "Thanks for the offer 2d but I think I'll just stay here for tonight," Gwen told the singer who now looked disappointed. "How long do you think they'll be out?" Russel asked wondering about Noodle. "They're going out for pizza and a movie so maybe about more than two hours," Gwen said. The band looked a little worried. Gwen noticed and rolled her eyes. "Come on guys, I know you're worried about her but Noodle is with a nice guy. She'll be fine." "We're just not used to Noodle going out with guys," 2d said. "To me, Noodle is still that adorable little ten year old Japanes girl that came here in a FedEx crate," Murdoc said. "Guys I know you don't want to hear this but Noodle isn't ten years old anymore. And she isn't a little girl. She's becoming a beautiful young lady. And boys are starting to like her." Gwen explained. The three band members looked sad when Gwen said what she said. They didn't want to believe it, but they needed to realize that Gwen was right. Their little Noodle was growing up.
