2-D: It's been cool, how are you?
Noods: Where were you? Why did this chapter take so long?
Shadz: I don't know… I uh… I-I had a… nervous breakdown or something, I just… felt scared of checking the fiction… or writing incase… incase… I don't know really. I just feel… light headed-
Muds: And you say I'm a drug addict
Shadz: I dun never say that!
Muds: Yeah, you were too scared to 'cos you knew I would throttle ya with me bare hands. You should have seen the look on your face when I last insulted ya! You were probably crying like a wuss all night!
Russ: Muds, can we just read the fic?
Shadz: Yes… let's
Muds: Wanker
Disclaimer: If I actually did own Gorillaz then why would I bother with this stupid story instead of just making a movie or a long Gorilla bite? Hm? Think about that…
Chapter 2: The car talks! Oh no it's just Noodle
-------
Noodle's Asian emerald eyes flicked open alarmingly along with a sudden small jerk that made her awake from her restless slumber. Her mind instantly erasing dreams into forgotten thoughts that she would never remember ever again. Noodle lifted her head forward from the seat, a sharp aching sensation dominating the back of her slender neck during every move it made. Noodle stared out through the windshield of the Geep into a dark blue night. A bright white moon glowing in front of them, guiding their way through the darkness. Small sparkling diamonds glittered in the sky alongside. Not a cloud in the sky. So quiet.
The Japanese Guitarist shifted her head to the driver. 2-D. He looked so tired. Dark blue bags already sagging underneath his slowly blinking black eyes. His pale hands steadily in control of the wheel. Noodle wondered weather she should talk to him or if she should just go back to sleep. 2-D didn't even look the slightest bit angry though. Maybe he was overreacting. Despite possible more yellings, she smiled warmly at him. He was her brother. She should do that everyday.
"…Hello"
Noodle spoke softly after finding something to say. The distraction caused 2-D to mindlessly turn his head away from the road to Noodle, which she feared might have been a bad thing. He saw her lovely face with barely opened eyes and smiled tiredly back.
"'Ey little love. Yer sleep awright?"
"Yeah. How are you coping? You look sleepy"
"Just bored"
Noodle nodded slowly trying to show distinct understanding. 2-D looked back at the road still with a smile. The frosty wind from acceleration blew lightly in Noodle's hair, brushing her bangs away from her eyes so she could get a clear view. There was a pause then Noodle sighed depressingly and turned back to look at a side view of the deserted desert. He obviously wasn't going to talk to her. But wanted to know why he snapped at her before, she did nothing. Noodle set her eyes on the clock in front of her. 6:47pm. they had an hour at the most to get there. Still so far away. Still much further to go yet.
"… 2-D?"
"Yea' love?"
"I was just wondering… if you had any food?"
"Are yer 'ungry?"
"Yeah"
"Um sorry love I don't 'ave any with me now… don't think there is anythin' in 'ere either"
"Oh. Ok then. Thanks anyway"
Noodle gritted her teeth feeling pain and hunger mixing and mingling inside her stomach. Hot boil mixture rising in her throat, after been swallowed leaving a terrible taste inside her mouth. No food. And she was starving.
"Russ would 'ave somethin' for yer when we get to the concert"
"If we make it on time"
"Well by the looks of it, we might be a bit late"
"Could not we postpone the concert?"
"Murdoc would 'ang us"
"Right…"
"Don't worry love, we'll just go there and get it over and done with, then after we'll 'ave to 'ave a long drive 'ome and then you and Sammy can do whatever for the rest of the weekend ok?"
Noodle's face brightened. She was glad that her friend was coming over and she loved spending time with her. They were the best of friends. It didn't matter what they did as long as they had each other, it would be a good time. Always.
"Ok Stu"
2-D grinned and then focused once again on the road. The sky falling even deeper into pitch black darkness as every second ticked by. 2-D opened his mouth and yawned loudly. Sleep about to weigh heavily on him. But not now. Not now. They needed to keep going till the end. They had a concert to go to.
Suddenly a loud beeping noise was heard from 2-D's jean pocket. The electronic ring tone for DARE. 2-D's cell phone. The alerted blue-haired singer dug in his pocket and took out a shiny dark blue flip top phone. He opened the top out and the ring tone came to a halt. He flipped the phone to his left hand and jammed against his ear, pressing it on his face.
"'Ello?"
2-D seemed like he liked getting phone calls. Noodle waited patiently in her seat to find out who it was. She didn't need an answer from 2-D for that question. The loud enraged dirty mouthed voice was a dead giveaway. Not to mention the look on 2-D's face. Like he's seen a ghost. Noodle gulped nervously and watched 2-D flinch from the swearing on the other end of the line. Poor 2-D. It was Murdoc.
"…In the Geep now, won't be too long…. I don't think it's quite that far yet…. Uh…. About just outside London? …. Don't yell at me! It wasn't my fault! It was the Geep! It was hard- …. Yeah she's here"
Noodle leaned in closer eagerly to hear what Murdoc had to say. But she couldn't hear anymore than muffled yells from the satanic bassist. 2-D quickly looked at Noodle pityingly for about 2 seconds before his eyes meet the road again. The young Jap quirked and eyebrow confusingly. She would just have to wait.
"…No Muds… It's not 'er-…. I don't know, I- MAYBE I don't know! I don't know! …. Fine. See ya"
2-D sighed hopelessly and took his phone away from his ear and snapped it shut. He slipped it back into his pocket with a bit of difficultly from such tight jeans but it got in, in the end. Noodle blinked cutely waiting for a fill-in on the conversation.
"What did Murdoc want?"
"Muds just wanted ter know where we were is all"
"What did he say about me?"
"Um… he said hi"
Noodle shook her head unconvincingly and shifted into a more comfortable position to relax in so her head wouldn't get so sore. She still had another half an hour at least before she needed to think about the performance. Couldn't a girl get some rest otherwise? Noodle let her eyelids drop over her green pupils, covering them in darkness once again. Leading her deeper into the dangerous depths of the mind.
"Wake me when we are near the concert so I can get ready please?"
"You can count on me love"
Noodle smiled gladly to herself, knowing she was in good hands.
