Noodle screamed when she heard the thunder. She wanted 2D to wake up and tell her it would be okay, but no matter what Noodle did, the man's eyes stayed shut.

"Toochi!" She began to cry as the storm got closer.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He didn't even twitch.

The storm was getting worse when 2D's parents arrived and ushered the already hysterical Noodle out of the room.

It was terrible, almost losing your best friend and having to wait out a storm on your own.

Russel held the girl's hand.

"It'll be okay, Noods, trust me." he said, when suddenly, it was his turn to visit with 2D, leaving Noodle all alone again.

She put her head in her hands, and tried to think of happy thoughts. One thought made her happy, yet sad all at once.

It was her first day in Kong studio, and she was pretty scared. It was late, and Russel and Murdoc decided to go to the pub. 2D stayed behind because of a migraine, and well, some one had to look after Noodle. It was about 11pm when a terrible storm began. Noodle, terribly frightened, was hiding in the lift, she was just headed to her room, but the storm scared her too much to leave. 2D heard her cry, and stepped out of his room.

"Noods?" he asked, following the sounds of the crying.

Finally, he found the girl, curled up in the corner of the lift, crying and trembling.

"Noodle?" The frontman asked, kneeling next to the girl. There was another clap of thunder, and the girl screamed out in terror.

"Noodle, it's alright, it's just a storm." 2D said, pulling Noodle into a hug. The girl hugged back, but was still very scared.

"It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be alright." he kept repeating, until Noodle calmed down and had fallen asleep.

That night, the two spent the night in the lift, hiding from the storm.

Noodle must have been so wrapped up in her thoughts, she didn't notice Russel picking her up and carrying her into 2D's room. It wasn't until a think hand, with rather long fingers reached out and held the girl's hand tightly.

"It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be alright."

That night, Noodle and 2D spent the night in 2D's hospital room, hiding from the storm.
