Russel's P.O.V:

'D managed to knock himself into a nice two-week coma. We figure it'd be easier for Babygirl to leave for Japan while he was still out of it, guess it's harder to say goodbye than never getting the chance. Well, actually, I think it's harder knowing you'd never got the chance to say it, but whatever. It was kinda hard to watch Babygirl go though.

Flashback:

Noodle's flight to Japan was schedualed to depart in two hours. She had already said her goodbyes to Rachel, David, Murdoc, and I, but she was forgetting someone. Noodle asked me to pick her up so she could climb on to 'D's bed. I shrugged and helped her up.

"Hurry up, babygirl," I looked at the clock, "You'll miss your flight."

Noodle huffed, as if I was rushing her or somethin'. She put her tiny arms around 'D's neck and kissed his cheek.

"You here when I get back." Her broken english usually made it hard to understand her, but it was pretty clear that she was telling 'D to still be there when she returned.

'Where else would he be?' I thought.

Noodle continued by picking up 'D's hand and locking pinkies with him. I was really confused on what she was doing until she whispered, "Toochi promise Noodle."

I shifted awkwardly in the doorway when she did that, then finally spoke up "Time to go, Noodle."

She turned to face me and nodded sadly. She kissed 'D's cheek one last time, then hopped off the bed. I dropped her off at the airport, then headed back to the hospital. Murdoc was leaving 'D's room when I got there.

"Where the hell are you goin'?" I asked, Murdoc snorted.

"Wha's it loo' loike, lards, I'm leavin', Noodle's gone, and Face ache is good as dead, let's face it, Gorillaz is over." He pushed past me, and kept on walking. There was no point in trying to convince him to stay, so I walked back into the hospital room.

The only people in there were 'D and I. The last two members left of the Gorillaz.

End Flashback.

When 'D came to again, I decided to tell him what happened while he was out.

I said, "'D, Noodle left for Japan las' night, and Murdoc quit the band."

He looked kinda shocked at first, then a little mad, so I went to explain myself, "We thought it'd be hard for you to say good-bye..."

He really didn't say much, but for the record, I've never seen him so damn upset before, he just put his hands over his face and cried hysterically. Honestly, I don't understand how he cries, his eyes are all jacked up, I guess it don't matter though. I'm straying off topic now. He got so depressed, Rachel kept tellin' the doctor to knock him out.

"Rach," I argued, "That ain't gonna solve anything."

She really didn't care though, just as long as she didn't have ta see 'D all depressed.

So everyday just as he woke up, if Rachel was in the room, he'd be sedated again. There were a few cases where 'D would wake up, not completely, but still. I'd start up little conversations with him, and usually get a small nod or groan in response to anything I said.

"You know Noodle did say goodbye to you."

"Mhm."

"She said she couldn't wait to see you again, and she'd write soon."

A nod.

"She said she couldn't wait to see you happy again."

Silence.

I looked over at the bed. There were those unexplained tears again.

"Why did we have to put her through so much?" 'D's lip trembled as he talked.

"She's a strong girl, 'D."

"But she is still a kid..."

"I know 'D."

"...I saw Del when I...ya know."

"You did?" It almost hurt to hear my friend's name brought up in such a conversation, but I was also pretty interested.

"Yep, he told me to say 'hey' to you, he said you guys need me." 2D's voice began to trail off.

"Yeah...yeah, we do." I sat up a little in my chair. 2D was smiling at me.

"Did Noodle say when she'd write back?"

"She said as soon as she can."

'D nodded, "Looks like I got something to look forward to."

There was a shriek from the doorway that caused both of us to jump.

"HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN AWAKE?!" Rachel yelped.

"Ten minutes..." I admitted.

"Ten min- Stuart, how are you?" Rachel tried to play it cool, knowing now that 2D was completely awake.

"Fine, just tired." He smiled sleepily, sounding like his old self again.

"Good, Good..."

There was an awkward pause before I decided to say something "So, 'D, what are you gonna do when you get back to Kong?"

Rahcel looked at me like I had gone completely stupid "Going back to Kong!? There's no way in hell he's going back! He's coming home with David and me!"

'D didn't put up much of a protest, was probably still trying to accept the whole Noodle and Murdoc being gone thing.

So it was settled, 2D would be going home with his parents. It made sence though, he really didn't have anything left in Kong Studio.
