The next few days were very strange.

2D had been released from the hospital, and since then, nothing went back to normal. He was in bed most of the time, and someone was always in his room with him.

Even his parents stayed at Kong Studio, just so they could keep an eye on him. Nobody really said much to each other, even though Russel said to try to continue on with their everyday routine like nothing happened. That was difficult when you were basically watching a potential time-bomb.

Murdoc would come in and out of his Winnebago and say short comments like "He still alive?" or something like that. He really could care less about 2D, but the band needed a singer, and Murdoc was hoping to keep the one he already had (auditions, they're too time-consuming).

Russel tried to act like nothing happened, and treat it more like a minor injury. He would go into 2D's room in the early evening, and stay there until it was Noodle's turn to keep watch.

2D's parents spent the most time in his room, and much to his annoyance, wouldn't let him even sit up, because they feared he'd be grabbing more pills. Not like he had any left, since the incident, 2D wasn't allowed anymore pills.

"I'm sorry, Stuart, we can't allow you to take anymore pills, this can't happen again!" Rachel said, digging through 2D's room to make sure she had gotten every last bottle of pills.

"Just shoot me already, I already feel like I have been." 2D mumbled weakly, earning him a very stern glare from his mother. Lucky for him, Russel finally walked in.

"Go take a break, Rach, I'll watch him." Russel smiled, trying to convince the woman.

With a sigh, Rachel gave in, and left. 2D looked up at Russel.

"Where's Noods?" he questioned.

Russel pulled up a computer chair, and took a seat.

"She's been in her bed all day..." Russel explained.

"Why won't she come in?"

"She's scared that if she comes into your room..." Russel couldn't finish, but 2D understood.

"I'm a pretty big dullard, aren't I?"

"No...You're just confused..."

"You make it sound like I'm coming out of the closet."

Russel laughed at this "Maybe you do have a secret thing for Murdoc."

"Shut up!"

Russel's next comment was cut off by a sudden clap of thunder.

"Damn storms...shit, I left Geep outside! Don't tell your mom I left!" Russel exclaimed, running from the room.

2D sighed heavily, when the door to his room opened just a little. Figuring he was finally free, the boy stood up and inched toward the door.

"Noods?" He looked down to see the girl, curled up in a ball, leaning against the door.

"Toochi?" She uncurled herself.

"Want to come in?" 2D asked, knowing that the girl probably didn't want to.

"No." She said slowly, but a sudden clap of thunder scared her enough to make her jump. She clung to 2D tightly.

Knowing the girl wouldn't want to be anywhere near his room for a while, the frontman pulled the girl into a hug, and sat in the hallway with her.

"Toochi, you no weave?" Noodle asked, rubbing her tired eyes.

"No, no I'm not leaving."

That was a lie.

Suddenly, Rachel was back beside them.

"STUART, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? WHERE'S RUSSEL!? GET BACK IN BED!" She screamed, grabbing the boy, and sending Noodle to the floor.

"Toochi!" Noodle screamed, but Rachel slammed the door behind her. Noodle began to cry.

"Babygirl, what's going on!?" Russel exclaimed, running back to the room.

"Toochi!" Noodle sobbed, pointing toward the boy's room.

Realizing that Rachel had returned, and that he would be screwed if she saw him, Russel let out a deep sigh.

"Come on, babygirl, let's go watch tv." He picked up the girl, who started kicking and screaming.

"TOOCHI!" She continued to call for the boy through her tears.

Little did she know, 2D was trying to get away from his mom. His little luv needed him.
