Can I talk to you?

"H-hey... Noodle..."
"Yes, 2D-san?"
"I... Um... Want to talk to you."
"Okay... What about?"
"Remember... When I told you... About how... I... Uh... Erm... Kinda like... Ah...

Murdoc...?"
She smiled and nodded, "Yes."
"Wol... I fink he likes me back."
"Whaaat?!"
"Yes." he grinned.
"That's great, 2D!"
"He's beink shy, fough..."
"Oh, I'm sure that'll pass." she smiled again.
2D kind of giggled.
Noodle giggled along with him.
Murdoc walked by.
They stopped as he passed the doorway, but bust out in a fit of laughter when he

was gone.
Murdoc stopped. What was that damn 2D up to this time? He peered into the room

listening closely.
"So, what happened?"
"Wol... I was playink my keyboard... And..." -Giggle-, "He came in..."
They both giggled some more.
"And I stopped playink, right? And he's all, 'No need to stop... That was nice.' and

I'm like 'Oh my god!'"
"He said that to you?"
"Yes! And then he said, 'That was lovely.' and I'm finkink... 'He likes it!'"
"He actually gave you a complement! I'm surprised!"
"So I played some more... And he..." 2D blushed.
"He what? HE WHAT?"
More giggles.
"He put his arm around me..."
She gasped.
"We kissed!"
"Oh my gosh!"
...GiggleGiggle...
Murdoc's eyes were wide and filled with anger. What the fuck was 2D saying?!

Didn't he... And... Murdoc sighed. It's that dumb brain of his... That stupid,

dumb-ass, annoying little brain of his. Almost non-exsistant. Damn. He actually

thinks... Murdoc could actually like him. Psh. Yeah, right.
Back to 2D... "And he's all sayink that he wa'n't serious... That he just wanted to

see how I'd react... But I really fink 'e really likes me!"
"Aww..."
"Noodle...?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you fink... What you fink I should do... Ta... Ya know... Maybe get 'im ta

not be so shy...?"
Murdoc tensed up.
"Hmm... Maybe... Well, it might take time... You might want to wait and see what

he does..."
Murdoc breathed a sigh of relief.
"On the other hand..." she said, "Murdoc's always been the physical type... Maybe

you should try kissing him again."
2D smiled, "Do ya fink that would work?"
"I sure do hope so, 2D-san."
Murdoc looked like his brain snapped. The only thing in his head was as follows,

and I quote: $#%$#!%^#$%%^$%#^&%^%^*&(*($^^%%#$#@!!!
To add insult to injury, the following sentance spun 'round Murdoc's head for what

seemed like forever after it was said: "We should tell Russel!"
"OK!" said 2D.
Murdoc stood there, not sure whether to scream, faint or run for his life. And at the

last moment, he really couldn't choose. He fell to the floor with a loud WHUMP.
Noodle and 2D's laughter suddenly stopped as they walked out and saw the heap of

what used to be their bassist.
