There were a few things Noodle managed to learn simply by watching the boys in action. She learned that swearing, and drinking too much, and passing out on the kitchen table was unacceptable. She learned that staying up past her bed time was not allowed too. She learned english, and manners, and not to bug 2D when he had a migraine. Speaking of 2D, she learned something very interesting from him.
Whenever the girl hugged the singer right after he showered, he usually smelled like butterscotch. Actually, that's how he normally smelled. The only time he didn't was when he'd spray himself with something. Noodle watched carefully as this action took place.
It was right before the concert, and the Japanese girl was already ready to go. She skipped down the hallways, calling to all the band members, "We go now!"
She sprinted to Russel's room, and flung the door open "RUSSEL-SAN! LET'S GO!" She giggled as the man fumbled around, trying to get his shoe on. She slammed the door, and ran to the lift, pressing the button for the basement. She ran to the Winnebago, and pounded on the door.
" MURDOC!" She cheered happily, making sure to hold out each sylibol.
"WHAT!?" The bassist yelled back, flinging open the door of the love-shack-on-wheels.
"We go now?"
"Not yet" Murdoc growled before slamming the door shut again. Noodle shrugged, then skipped happily to 2D's room.
Another thing she learned, always knock quietly before entering 2D's room. If he's taking a nap, or well, doing anything really, knocking too loudly will cause the poor boy to either freak out, get a migraine, forget what he was originally doing, well, you get the picture.
"Toochi?" Noodle peeked her head into the door. There was a banging sound, causing her to open the door completely.
"Almost ready." 2D sat on his heels and rubbed the back of his head. Noodle figured he was probably looking for something under his bed.
"Toochi hurt?" The child asked, climbing onto the singer's bed.
"I'm fine, just can't find my- oh there it is!" The blue-haired man hopped to his feet and walked to his nightstand. He picked up a can and started spraying himself with it.
Noodle watched in pure awe. The room went from smelling like cigarettes and butterscotch, to something cool and musky.
"What that?" The girl pointed to the can.
"Body spray."
"What?"
"Cologne."
"Colon?"
2D opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by Russel.
"TIME TO GO YOU GUYS!" Russel called. 2D and Noodle raced each other to the steps, and nothing more was said about it until after the concert. Noodle was feeling sleepy and 2D offered to carry her. The second Noodle was in his arms, she nuzzled her head against his neck. He still smelled like musk and ice.
"What colon?" Noodle asked sleepily.
"Cologne?"
"Hai!"
"Well, it just makes you smell good, girls have perfume for that, though."
"Perfume?"
"I'll buy you some, you can figure it out from there." 2D rubbed her back. Noodle yawned, rested her head on her best friend's shoulder again, and finally fell asleep.
The next day:
2D had kept his promise. He had gone out to the mall and returned with some perfume for Noodle.
"Here ya go." He handed her a purple bottle with 'Love Spell' written on it.
Noodle bounced around her room excitedly, hugging the bottle close to her. 2D laughed, patted the child's head, then left the room.
Two seconds, that's all it took! A horrible smell filled the halls of Kong studio.
"Sweet Satan! What the hell is that!?" Murdoc staggered into the kitchen, covering his nose.
"Oh God, it smells like my grandmother." Russel was trying to open a window. 2D immediately leaned out the window the second Russel had it open, he was gagging and his eyes were watering.
Noodle skipped happily into the room. The sight before her was pretty curious, so she walked up to 2D and tugged on his shirt. 2D turned his head and hit it against the window pane before climbing back into the house.
"Toochi, what go on?" Noodle asked. 2D's eyes widened when he finally figure it out. Noodle was what smelled horrible!
"Noodle, did you put on that perfume I gave you?"
"Hai." Noodle smiled happily, holding up the already half empty bottle.
2D looked up just in time to see Russel and Murdoc motioning for him to join them. The boy nodded, then ran like hell.
Now, safely hidden in Murdoc's Winnebago, which was now parked in a near-by church parking lot, the boys paced the floor.
"'ow do we tell 'er tha' 'er perfume smells loike crap?" 2D thought out loud.
"We jus' come righ' out and tell 'er." Murdoc stated.
"That's a horrible idea! Little girls are sensitive!" Russel exclaimed, "We should just tell her gently."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"HOW THE HELL DO WE DO THAT!?" Murdoc exploded.
"SHH!" 2D and Russel exclaimed, both crowded around 2D's phone.
"Right! Fach-ache's mum!" Murdoc joined the boys as they waited desperately for Rachel to pick up.
"What is it this time boys?"
"HELP!"
20 Minutes later:
The three men occupied themselves with opening every window in Kong Studio while Rachel explained to Noodle how to put perfume on.
"Just a few sprays on your arms will do it." Rachel demonstrated with her own bottle on perfume, Noodle nodding as she wanted. Rachel paused, now that the cloud of perfume was lifted, the true aroma of the scent was revealed. It actually didn't smell too bad, it was like berries and ice or something.
"Noodle, did you pick out this scent?" Rachel asked.
"Nuh huh, Toochi did." Noodle explained.
All eyes landed on 2D. Everyone watched as his manhood, pride, and ability to show his face in public flew right out the open windows of Kong Studio.
A/N: I wrote this on the way to one of my classes. This chick in front of me sprayed perfume, and as I fell to the ground, my eyes and nose burning (okay, maybe it wasn't that bad) I came up with this idea. That and my sisters, and cousin spray perfume without caution, so yeah XD Oh and The class I was typing this in, some girl put perfume on. Exact same scent 2D got for Noodle. Crazy, right XD
