Hoodie Problems Chapter 1

“Momo!”, shouted a young lad as he walked out of a cave. Covering his torso was a white hoodie and protecting his legs was a pair of light blue pants. On his feet he wore a pair or white sneakers along with white shoe laces. His eyes were a light grey and his hair a brilliant silver. In his right hand was a torn shirt with the words Number One written on it. Anger could be seen in his eyes, but there was a lack of malice.

“Oh Nood…., why are you so pale”, asked a young blonde as she stared at the nearly completely white boy?

“Never mind that Momo”, shouted the boy! “What have you done to my favorite Shirt? Do you not realize that this shirt was given to me by my little sister before she left for stonewall. It is the last momentum I have of her.”

“Never mind that Noodle!”, shouted Momo as she rushed forward and grabbed Noodle’s face. Quick to change the subject she started back on Noodle’s appearance. “Noodle you are as pale as the color white! What have you done to yourself? I leave for two years and come back to find you as pale as a ghost. Wait is this another side effect of the Angelic Fist Formation. I told you not to go through that training twice, but no you had to gain the extra power.”

“Don’t worry about it Momo”, spoke Noodle as he removed Momo’s hands from his face. “I am a member of the royal family of Ramen. Noble blood runs through my veins. No commoner martial arts technique is going to kill me.”

“Common”, spoke a young man as he walked out the cave. Behind him was a few more people all of them had flawless skin and seemed to radiate an aura of elegance. “Noodle you do know that the Angelic Fist Formation was a martial arts technique passed down through the Aozaru court right. It was a martial arts made for nobles and members of high class society.”

“As I said commoners”, spoke Noodle as he gave Jex a sly smile. The smuggler simply sighed and began to walk away from the cave.

“See Ya whenever”, spoke Jex as he waved good bye to Noodle. The long goodbyes were already spoken earlier so no one really hung around. They were tired of seeing each other after two years of training with one another.

“See ya Jex, you are the second most Noble commoner I have ever meet”, spoke Noodle.

Jex could not help, but chuckle at what Noodle said. “This guy”, he spoke as he walked off into the setting sun.

“Second”, spoke Momo as she stared at Jex leaving. “Here I thought you really like Jex. So if Jex is the second then who is the first”, asked Momo.

“Who do you think”, spoke Jex as he looked at Momo. “That would be you Lady Momo. I can imagine no more noble commoner than you”, spoke Noodle. As the words left Noodles mouth a bright blush crossed Momo face. This was the highest comment one could ever get from noodle. Well a person who was not a royal. Noodle had a way of giving out his complements sparingly. This applied to both nobles and common people. Though Noodle did consider nobles to be better than commoners there was a very thin line between them. Royalty was the big respect factor for Noodle. Being a royal himself he was taught that they were beyond both the commoners and the nobles.

   As Noodle finished speaking his eyes wondered back down to his shirt in his right hand. He stared at if for a moment and then turned back to Momo. “I take back what I said”, spoke Noodle.

“No way”, spoke Momo as she grabbed Noodle from the back. “You can’t take it back after you said it”, spoke Momo as she attempted to squeeze noodles neck. The girl was not strong, but Noodle did not want to hurt her. Momo had been his friend since he was a baby. In truth he respected and valued her as much as his own royal family, but he would never say that out loud. His pride was too great and his noble blood too thick.

“Alright, alright”, spoke Noodle. “I take back my take back. You are still the most noble commoner”.

Momo let go of Noodles neck and took a pose of triumph. “That is what I thought”, spoke Momo as her fist rested on her hips. “Momo the Greater”, spoke the maiden.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Keep dreaming”, spoke Noodle as he began to walk away.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hay where are you going”, asked Momo as she followed behind.

<p class="MsoNormal">“First off Hay is for horses Momo”, spoke Noodle. “I am going to my ship. I have been away from her for too long and wish to sail again. Well that is if you don’t have any more surprises for me like my favorite shirt.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hey”, shouted Momo! “I will have you know I took good care of the ship while you were away. It is in the same condition that you left it. No, it is in even better condition. “

<p class="MsoNormal">“Right”, spoke Noodle. The lad half expected to walk up and see the ship in pieces. To his great surprise the ship was in good condition. Not only did she keep the wood from rooting, but she also changed the sails. It was a big deal for Noodle as the new sails bore his new insignia he chooses as he sailed. Noodle took a moment to admire Momo’s work.

<p class="MsoNormal">“See, see,”, spoke Momo as she was almost bouncing around. “It told you I did a good job.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes you did”, spoke Noodle as he began to rub his hand on Momo’s hair. He took in another breath of the sea air and stared at his ship. “I am back Royal Acorn”, spoke Noodle as he placed his hand on the ship.

<p class="MsoNormal">Suddenly and without any warning a furry creature erupted from a nearby crate and rushed toward Noodle. The trained Martial artist did not even flinch as the furry creature lunged forward and stabbed a blade into the railing. There stood a squirrel in plate armor. It took knee and began to bow to the young Noodle.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I missed you as well Sir Squirrel”, spoke Noodle. He reached into his pocket and gave him an acorn. The squirrel   withdrew his blade from the railing and resheathed his sword. He then took the acorn and rushed off. “Ok”, shouted Noodle as he walked up to the mass. “It is time to set sail.” Momo removed the cord from the dock and the ship began to float out toward sea. Lord Noodles’s adventures were about to begin.
