    "Won't be long now peeps...2D uh....do you remember our talk from the other day? About what roooooms not to go in and such?" Murdoc was loading the last of his things on his boat.

"Ye-yeas sir." 2D was helping Murdoc with his things.

You sat on a rock nearby, skipping stones off into the sea. You were thinking about leaving the beach and going back home, but then you remembered there was really nothing to do back there. At least you had company here.

"Murdoc?" You called.

"Yes deary?" Murdoc walked over to you.

"How long will you be again...?" You asked not making eye contact.

"Oh I wont be long, maybe 2 weeks, 3 if there is a storm or something.....is something wrong luv?"

"I just..I don't know I'm gonna miss you and..I'm sorry for checking the room when you told me not to." You apologized.

Murdoc put a hand on your shoulder. "It's not a big deal, you were gonna find out eventually luv.." He looked out on the horizon. It had to be around 12o'clock pm. "I best be goin' now luv."

    You gave Murdoc a hug and you waved goodbye to him as he set off in his boat, away from the island and off on the sea.

"Oh what a softy dat codger could be." 2D sat on the rock next to you.

You looked over at 2D, looking at his eyes. "2D?" You asked.

"Yes?" He looked at you.

"Are you..blind?" You were wondering this for quite some time now.

"Ah not really.. Me vision is a lil' bit funny in dis' eye." He pointed to his right eye. "Dis' eye was the first one fhat' gowt' messed up by yer' uncle."

"I see. So uhh.. Do you want to go inside? Grab a-a drink or two maybe ?" You asked him.

"I'd like tha'." The twiggy man stood up and extended out his hand. You grabbed his had and he lifted you off the rock you were sitting on. The both of you walked side by side towards the entrance of the beach mansion.

2D decided to break the awkward silence, "So..has the old goth shown you Melancholy Hill yet? Et's a lovely place really."

"Melancholy Hill?"

2D pointed out to the sea, "Et's just off the island over there. I'll bring ya there one day if ya like."

You smiled at him "How about we go grab our drinks and head over?" You suggested.

He thought for a second and agreed. "If  ya don' mind... May I use your shower before we go? I only get to take one of Murdoc let's me out of me room, and et has been a long time I hate to say." 2D asked bashfully.

"Sure! I'll bring you to my room, there's a bathroom in there you can use. My uncle will never know...sorry about him by the way." You felt bad for the guy. He only joined the band to make music, not to be kidnapped.

"Th-thank yeuw luv."

You brought the man to your room and handed him some towels. "There's the bathroom, sorry it might be a mess in there." You showed him the bathroom.

"Fhat's alrigh' luv it will be fine, I ain't the cleanest person in da world eitha..." He then awkwardly closed the bathroom door and started running the water.

You grabbed a cooler and threw a few bottles of alcohol in there from the storage room. You didn't really know what you were tossing in, just kinda throwing a variety of bottles in there. Beer, wine, rum, champagne, gin, you didn't know what the guy liked. You thought headed back up into the kitchen. On your way there you saw Cyborg Noodle. She waved hello, but kinda made a sudden movement like she glitched when she did.

"Hello Noodle 2.0...Don't worry, my uncle will have ya fixed in no time."

You felt bad for her, though she didn't have feelings really, it felt like she did. Who knows, maybe she does have feelings? Who knows what voodoo black magic satanist witch craft Murdoc used on her. You set the cooler down on the kitchen floor and filled it with some ice. Boy it was hot on this island. You put an ice cube in your mouth and walked up to your room to check on 2D.

By the time you got to your room, the ice in your mouth already melted...or you just ate it. 2D had just gotten out of the shower when you walked in. He had a grey towel around his waist and a smaller blue one he was drying his hair with. The sight of him made your face turn slightly red.

"Hello, I see yeuw are back in here. I seem to have forgotten to bring a new set of clothing to change into, I'll be right back..heh.." The lanky half naked man walked out of your room and headed to his little bunker area in the basement. After he left, you quietly whistled at him. He's pretty fuckin' attractive.You thought. At least for someone with not front teeth and two eyeballs that seemingly look like they are missing at first glance.

Soon enough 2-D returned. He was wearing a normal pair of jeans with a brown leather belt,  a black tank top with a little red scarf around his slightly scrawny neck, and a cute white sailor hat with a little golden anchor on it.

"Ready to go?" He asked.
You nodded. He grabbed the cooler.

You paused before heading out the door. "2D... What about the whale?" You looked up at him. He shivered when he heard the word "whale". "Melancholy hill is in bounds of were I'm allowed to be, I've been there a few times when Murdoc lets me out, we should be fine." He reassured you. He opened the door and let you out, and you thanked him. Of course you thanked him, you hated when you held a door open for someone and they didn't thank you. It pissed you off actually. Never mind that now.
2D got into a little white row boat with the cooler, and helped you in. The boat was covered with random objects. Pictures, instruments, empty bottles, kitchen utensils, and other items. "Told ya I'm not very clean." He chuckled. "I guess not." You said. Half way to the hill, 2D stopped  rowing the boat. "I need to take a break I'm sorreh." He placed the ores in the boat. "That's fine." You replied. "Would ya like to hear me play the melodica? Et's a beautiful instrument really." He offered holing up his green keyboard-like instrument. You nodded and he began to play. It had a beautiful sound, it was like a completely upgraded harmonica mixed with a piano or something. He played and sang "Tomorrow Comes Today" an older song of their's, back when young Noodle was 10 years old.
    Right after he finished, he asked "Did ya like et? It's a song on our first album, Tomorrow Comes today!" You smiled at him, damn he was cute, "I loved it. Your singing  is so unbelievably beautiful."
"Ah, thank yeuw very much, really I'm flattered." He replied with a short of cute, goofy smile on his face. "Guess I should get this boat along again, we are half way there." He said. The hill looked closer to the island then it really was, but you were grateful for that. You enjoyed hearing 2D sing and play his melodica.
