    "Russel!" 2-D yelled, hugging him as quickly as possible, squeezing him tightly.

"Aww, hey D. Oh, you look terrible!"

"Wow, fhanks Russ." He let go and crossed his arms. 2-D caught on to what Russel meant in seconds and apologized.

    You felt an arm around your shoulder which startled you.
"Aye, kid. I'm so glad you're safe I'm so sorry that I-"

"Uncle Mudz!" You nearly screamed, putting your arms around him tightly.

Murdoc sniffled a bit, obviously trying not to cry, "I thought I-I-I lost you. I hated myself even more for that. I can't believe you're okay, I haven't been this happy in-in-in years..."  You had no response. You just let yourself keep your face buried in his chest. His harms slowly moved up to hug you back and did so with a strong grip.

    "Please tell meh Nooble' is safe." 2-D looked down at Russel with a look of hope.
    A girl, well, a woman, stepped out from behind Russel. She was only a little over five feet tall. Her hair was dark and long and she wore some glasses with the lenses shaped as hearts.
"Nooble'....?" 2-D stared down at the short female. She took off her red heart sunglasses and placed them in her pocket to reveal her slightly squinted dark-green eyes. 2-D froze. "Oh. My. Gawd."

"Com'er, Toochie!" Her arms spread out wide showing off her entire, small wing span.

2-D was in tears of joy. "Yer' alive! Oh my gawd yer' aol' grown up and beautiful I can't handle it."

Russel smiled and pointed at the two, "Heh, those were the same exact words I said when I saw her again. She's strong and still very intelligent and confident."

You smiled, "You must be Russel? Right?"

He nodded, "Who are you?" He tilted his head slightly.

Murdoc cut you off before you could even speak, "Ah! This gal' is my niece. Isn't she luvly?"

"You're being oddly affectionate... and I didn't know Hannible had any kids...? She looks nothin' like either of you!" Russel pointed out.

"Oh, heh, we aren't blood related. He's kind of a family friend, ya know? But to me he's still my uncle. And, uhm, I'm also 2-D's girlfriend." You raised a single eyebrow to see 2-D still showering Noodle with affection.

"Don't worry about D' and Noodle. He's a really emotional guy and he hasn't seen her in years. Noodle is like his sister, just look at it that way." Russel smiled.

You smiled back, "That's nice to hear, I wasn't worried though. I love your guy's relationships so far, all of you together. But Uncle Mudz?"

"Yeah?"

"Please try to get along with my boyfriend..." you gave him your little puppy dog eye look. He couldn't say no to that.

He sighed, the air blowing through his half-rotted sharp teeth, "I guess I'll give it a try."

"Your hair is so long!" 2-D pet her hair which Noodle didn't appreciate and pushed his hand away from her head.

"I don't really like it. I'm going to cut it when we are all settled down for sure. Looks like you got a little new hair do yourself."

"Heh, I was trapped on ah' few islands n' fha' past few years. I could neva' get a clean cut when I was trapped at dat' horrid wasteland fhat' Murdok likes to col' The Plastic Beach. Eht' just completely grew out when I was trapped on fha' island by Mexico. Dat' place by America, yeuw' know?"

Noodle nodded as you stepped closer to Noodle and 2-D, "Yeah, we had to cut his hair with sharp stones."

2-D put his arm around you, "Yeah, dat' reallay' did hurt. Yeuw' started to pull me' hair righ' out ratha' den' cut et'."
