It was unusually cold at Kong Studios. Noodle was in her room strumming notes on her guitar when she heard something tap on the window. He looked at the window and saw nothing so she went back to her strumming. Then, she heard another tap.
"What the heck?" he walked to the window, opened it and looked down. Beneath her was Murdoc. He was getting ready to throw another pebble when he saw her.
"Murdoc-san? What are you doing down there. I thought you were in the kitchen?" she yelled down.
"Shut up and get down here." he loudly whispered back.
"Why?" she yelled back down.
"Just shut up and get down here. It's a secret."
Noodle closed her window and quickly put on her shoes.
She quickly walked past 2D who was holding a bucket of landry.
"So, where you goin' in a big hurry?" he asked. Noodle stopped dead in her tracks and turned slowy around.
"No where. Just going for a walk"
"In tis cold. I don't tink it's a good idea."
"Well, i'm going. Bye" she said as she dashed for the door.
"OKay. Have fun on your walk."
Noodle ran outside. Murdoc was waiting for her impatiently.
"Took you long enough?"
"Sorry. 2D-san was asking me all these questions."
They got into the Geep and Murdoc started the car.
"Hold on." he pulled out a hankerchief from his pocket and tied it in front of Noodle's eyes.
"Whats this for?" she asked giggling.
"You'll see" he put the car into drive and they drove off.

An hour past and they were still driving.
"Murdoc-san? We have been driving for a long time. Are we almost at where you are taking me?" she asked.
"Almost there."
Suddenly, they both heard a loud pop come from behind them.
"HOLY CRAP! What was that?" exclaimed Murdoc. They pulled over and Murdoc got out.
"Shit!"
"What? What happened?" she asked. Murdoc chuckled alittle because he thought she looked like a blind old woman trying to figure out where she was. He leaned over and untied the blindfold and threw it in the back seat. She climbed out and stood beside Murdoc.
"Dammit! A flat." complained Murdoc.
"Do you have a spare?" Noodle asked.
"Yea maybe." Murdoc looked under the back of the Geep.
"Shit. No spare. I guess faceache still has it from his photoshoot a couple weeks ago."
"Why did he have to use it for a photoshoot?" asked Noodle.
"Don't ask." Murdoc sat on the back bumper and put his face in his hands. Then, he heard a horn from a distance. He saw a big brown truck drive and up and stop infront of him. Then, a man stepped out of the truck. He was wearing suspenders and an old flannel shirt and a old cap. He wasn't the slimmest man in the world.
"Eh. It looks like you're havin' a bit of trouble, huh?" sadi the man.
"Yep. Flat tyre." said Murdoc.
"Need some help there?" The man walked bac to his truck a grabbed a tyre from the back of it. He brought it back over and leaned it up against the flat one.
"That'll fit let me just go and get my tools."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome. My names Earl."
"Murdoc and this is Noodle." Noodle was hiding behind him. He pushed her towards Earl.
"Why, hello there litle lady. Noodle is it? Well, that s beauteyful name."
"Thank you." she replied in a quiet voice and she ran back behind Murdoc.
"Aw, she's shy." Earl walked away and he brought back a metal tool box.
In minutes, the tire was changed.
"Thanks Earl for changing the tyre." said Murdoc, leaning out of the car.
"You are very welcome" sadi Earl. They shook hands, "Well, buh bye now." he waved inside the car to Noodle and she smiled back, "You folks have a nice drive now."
Murdoc started the car and pulled from the side.
"Thanks again!" he yelled again. Earl waved to them as they drove away.
"What a lovely father he is to that little girl." sadi Earl. He got into his truck and drove away.
