Ah, summer, the time when school lets out, hair gets lighter, skin gets burned, and vacation time begins!
Unless you are a twenty-four year old, blue haired singer for the band Gorillaz. Then summer was a time for new music, staying in doors, and going to concerts.
Not that it was any fun or anything.
You had Noodle to run around with, not that Kong was really a place for water balloon fights or eating ice-cream on the curb, but you two still had videogames.
Well, that didn't sound fun at all.
Stuart '2D' Pot stared out the window as the sun rose of the first day of summer. The glowing orb cast eerie shadows across the lawn of Kong studio, filling the dirtied kitchen with golden light. The last of spring was finally being chased away as the heat of summer began to set in. 2D groaned along with the zombies outside, wanting nothing more than to leave this place and go to the beach.
Yes, the beach sounded great right about now.
However, Murdoc said going out and spending money was not his idea of a good day, whacked 2D upside the head, then retreated to his Winnebago to get drunk off his ass. Russel would simply shake his head, taking another sip of his coffee,
"Honestly, I just wish Baby girl could enjoy the summer without havin' to worry bout concerts or nothin'."
"Hones'ly, I wish I coul' ge' away for the summah." 2D put his head down on the table. As if on cue, the little girl ran in, clutching 2D's cell phone.
"Toochi-san, phone for you!" She cheered happily, racing around the room.
"Noods, give me meh phone." 2D looked up, reaching for the child.
"Catch Noodle!" She giggled loudly, skipping about the room. She accidently pressed the wrong button and the speaker phone came on.
"Stuart? Stuart! I need to ask ye somethin'!" The shrill voice of 2D's own mother filled the room, making anyone within a five mile distance cringe in fear.
"Sorry, mum, Noods woul'n't give me back meh phone." 2D called as the girl continued to prance about the room.
"For God's sake, Stuart, you are twenty-four years old and can' even get yer ph- that's not the point."
"What is the point then, Rachel." Russel set his coffee down, feeling it was much to early for the woman's voice.
"Well, I wanted to know if miss Noodle wanted ta spend the summah a' my and David's house."
The child stopped her prancing when she heard this news. Her entire face lit up as she flung herself at Russel.
"Please, Russel- san, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!" The girl tugged on the hem of the man's shirt, switching between asking in her native language and in English.
"Well, I um, I don't see why not." He picked the girl up and set her on his lap.
"YAY! Toochi-san come too?" Noodle asked, holding the phone to her ear again.
"Well, of course he's gonna come to visit his parents! Right, Stuart?" Rachel asked.
"Um, yeah sure." And with that, 2D's wish to get away for the summer came true. However, an entire month with his mother wasn't really his idea of summer.
