One-Shot #6: Weird Winter Fluff (OC x Noodle)

(Phase 2)

HEEEY guys! I hope that you enjoyed my last chapter! I had a lot of fun writing it. Anyway, I really like writing about this Sydney character. She's so strong, but she breaks. She is a flawed human. Thank you to Dee-Dee Zednem for reviewing my story, I love having feedback. (Please note: I am going to start a ship in this chapter. EEEEEEEEEEEE!) Alright, let's go!

Cars zipped past each other. The tires squeaked as they zoomed and drifted down the corners of streets. One of the car's tires caught on fire. It smashed into a pile of oil barrels and exploded into a tall flower of red and yellow. Sparks flew. The other car kept zipping on, even though their team member had just exploded. They kept moving on, determined on avenging their friend, and winning this race. The soon caught up with their opponent, and passed them just slightly. They were so close to the finish line. They could smell the 2000 dollar prize, as they were just inches away.

Suddenly, the TV turned off. 11 year old Sydney Tusspot and 14 year old Noodle turned around to see what the interruption was. They only saw Russel, who had a remote control pointed at the game device. The girls groaned in unison. "COME OOOOON!" Whined Noodle. "We were about to win!" Sydney nodded her head with Noodle. Russel only threw the remote back onto the couch and folded his arms.

"You guys have to eat lunch," he said sternly. "So come to the kitchen." He strode out of the room, and the girls followed him, still irritated. Seeing their sulking faces, he added, "You can finish the game after lunch." They were used to their games being interrupted, as Sydney had been living with them for about 2 months. They complied reluctantly, and sat down at the table while Russel brought them their food. It was a turkey and cheese sandwich, with a side of grapes. They ate for a bit in silence, until there was no longer food on their plates. They brought them to the sink, and raced each other back downstairs. However, they no longer felt like playing the video game.

"Whaddya wanna do?" Said Sydney. Noodle shrugged. They sat there in thought for a bit, until Sydney had an idea. "How about we walk to the park? It's just a few minutes away," Noodle nodded her head in agreement, and the girls started their journey. They said goodbye to Russel, and set off. The walk was short, but beautiful. It was late winter, and snow blanketed the ground. Their winter boots and jackets were layered on top of each other, as it was very cold out.

The snow glistened in the sun, as their feet left prints in the snow. While Sydney was admiring the trees, Noodle got a very sneaky idea. She scooped up some snow in her hands, and patted it together. When Sydney felt a cold object hit her shoulder and explode, she knew that this meant war. She whipped her head around, and formed a snowball in her hands. She had very good aim, and it hit Noodle directly in the face. Noodle laughed, and Sydney thought that it sounded like a bell. 'Noodle is really pretty when she smiles,' Sydney thought. 'Wait, WHAT?' Sydney was confused about these strange feelings she was suddenly having about her friend. She imagined kissing her under the moon, and the feeling of her soft lips…

She was brought out of her fantasy by another cold shot, and turned around to see Noodle fleeing for her life while laughing hysterically. Sydney smiled, trying to follow her. They twisted along the white pathways, until Noodle suddenly disappeared. Sydney looked around. "Where did you go?"

Noodle smiled softly as she caught her breath. She admired Sydney's pretty face and beautiful hair. She was so amazing… but Sydney probably didn't feel the same about her. 'She probably only thinks of me as a friend.'

"There you are!" She heard a high-pitched voice say as she saw Sydney's hand reach out to help her up. She took it, and pulled herself to her feet. Awkwardly, she found her face only inches away from Sydneys. They looked at each other in silence. Both could see longing, and passion in the other's eyes. They brushed it off, continuing to walk to the park.

When they reached it, both were silent. They were thinking about each other, and why their look seemed so… longing. Both thought, however, that the other did not like them back. They kept walking along the pathways, the dead trees lining them like frozen hands reaching from the grounds below. Suddenly, Noodle stopped as she felt a smaller hand slip into her's. She smiled at Sydney, who had a spacey grin on her face.

Noodle chuckled. She was a spinning image of her father. The same wide smile, the same azure hair, the same button nose, she was so beautiful… shit. 'Stop thinking like that, she's just your friend, and she probably only thinks of you the same way. But damn, she's hot…' That thought was broken when she saw Sydney fall. Her foot caught on a crack in the pavement, and it sent her face-first into the snow.

Noodle quickly bent down and pulled her up, thought it was difficult. It seemed that every time she tried to grasp Sydney's hand, she fell deeper into the snow. She finally got her out, but she was shaking. Her entire outfit was wet, and she had snow on her face and in her hair. She was shaking like a leaf, she was so cold. She looked on the verge of passing out. Noodle helped support her as they trudged back from the park. Clearly, they were in no mood to play in the snow anymore.

Sydney felt completely numb as they stepped through the door of the house. "F-f-f-f-fuck," Sydney whispered weakly, still shaking. Noodle helped her to the couch, handing her a few blankets. Then, she ran up the stairs to get Russel.

"Rasseru! Shidonī wa yuki no naka ni ochite, kanojo wa hijō ni samui desu! Tasuketekudasai!" She screamed at his door. A confused looking Russel emerged, and she realized that he couldn't understand her. Sighing, she said urgently, "Sydney fell in the snow at the park, and now she's super cold! We need you." Russel walked down the stairs to see a freezing Sydney sitting on the couch, too numb to speak. Russel picked her up, and carried her to her room. Noodle followed in close pursuit of his long strides, with a worried look on her face.

He placed her gently on her bed, and brought her some dry pajamas. She accepted them gratefully and shakily went to change. "I'm gonna make some hot chocolate, you two can play a video game." Noodle nodded as Russel left the room. Sydney returned, her hair still wet. She plugged in a blow dryer next to her bed, while Noodle set up the game console. Sydney was still shaking, she was very cold. She turned on the blow dryer and started to dry her hair. She held it up like a gun and pretended to blast it at Noodle, who had retreated to the bed next to her.

"Hey!" Noodle said in mock hurt. She clutched her chest like she had been shot. "How could you do this to me?" She fake-wailed. The girls giggled as the game started. Sydney still shook, and Noodle noticed this. She didn't like seeing her friend so cold. Unconsciously, she felt her arm wrap around Sydney's torso. Sydney froze for a moment, but then relaxed. It felt right.

Sydney nuzzled into Noodle's neck as their fingers moved skillfully over the buttons. Noodle, however, wasn't paying much attention to the game. Neither was Sydney. They could only think about how magical this moment was. They both wanted it to last forever.

As the "Game Over" sign flashed across the screen in red letters, the girls separated. They looked into each other's eyes, both getting lost and mesmerized. Their faces inched closer to each other's, until the spark in between them finally lit into a glorious flame.

Their lips crashed together as Noodle placed a hand on the back of Sydney's neck. She pulled herself closer until Sydney was sitting on her lap. They kissed more deeply (not a French kiss, they're kids for cryin' out loud), until they gradually separated. They breathed heavily and smiled at one another. They pulled themselves together again, and kissed once more, in such a trance that they didn't notice Russel walk in the door.

MEANWHILE….

Russel pushed the door open a crack, only to see… well… an interesting sight. He smiled to himself as the quietly placed the hot cocoa on the table next to the door. The girls didn't even see him, their eyes were closed. He quietly left, hoping that he could get 2D and Murdoc to see them. He walked into the living room and beckoned silently for 2D to come. 2D looked back, confused, but nevertheless followed. Murdoc, interested, followed them close behind, rum bottle still in hand.

Russel pressed a finger to his lips as he quietly opened the creaky door so that they could get a look. The girl's backs were turned, so they didn't see them. 2D gasped and Murdoc looked upset. Not because he didn't want the girls together, but because Russel bet him a month ago that the two girls would kiss. Russel looked at Murdoc smugly, and Murdoc reluctantly reached into his pocket and pulled out a 20 dollar bill. Russel took it, and shoved it into his pocket. They closed the door, 2D still looking dumbstruck. Russel chuckled at his face, he looked super confused.

"Come on, D, they were bound to get together at some point. Have you even seen the ways that they look at each other?" Russel said. 2D just shrugged, trying to accept it.

'It's fine', he told himself in his head. 'Those girls are cute together,' he thought. He smiled slightly at Russel, who only looked at him knowingly. They just stood in the hallway for a bit, trying to take it in. Murdoc just looked surprised, instead of angry like they thought he would be. "Hey Muds," 2D piped up. "What do you think about all this?" Murdoc just shrugged.

"Dunno, those girls are very young, but I feel like it was bound to happen at some point." Russel was surprised by how okay Murdoc was with this. However, he just shrugged it off. Perhaps he just didn't really care.

The days following were… well… interesting. They were all anticipating for Sydney and Noodle to speak up about their relationship. However, the day finally arrived when they were eating dinner one Friday night. The two girls were whispering to each other while they ate, clearly nervous about something. When everyone was finished, the two girls stood up. "We have something to say," said Sydney. She fumbled with her hands. She looked pale and sickly, with sweat leaking from her forehead. Noodle held on to her arm, keeping her from falling over.

Noodle decided that she would hold the conversation. "Well… um… me and Sydney have been spending a lot of time together, and, you know…" Russel, seeing the terrified and worried looks on the girls faces, nodded in understanding.

"We saw you. We just want to let you know that we fully support you two, and that no matter what, we will never do anything to hurt your relationship." 2D looked on the verge of joyful tears when he saw the two girls smile and kiss each other. He was just so happy to see his little girl finally finding her love. After all of those years of abuse and anger, she finally had something to hold onto. To keep in her heart and give her purpose.

AND THAT WAS IT! I hope that you guys enjoyed, it was a lot of fun. Honestly, I think that these two girls are amazing together. SPOILER ALERT! The next two chapters are going to be pretty heartbreaking, in both sorrow and joy. So please stay tuned, and review.
