Disclaimer: I don't own GorillaZ, the characters or any of their music. Although 2-D would be really fun to own .

A/N: Alright. I had this dream one night, and I had to write it down. It was just too good to let go. I don't know if anyone will really read this, but if you do, I REALLY would like to know if I should continue it Anyways, for all you GorillaZ fans, enjoy!

The MADNESS begins! Come one, COME ALL, to explore this controVERSIAL world created unto itself! Where human and homosapien co-exist and co-INTERact in the same places and environments! A world where real-life and aNiMaTiOn live together in harmony and mayhem! What will happen? Who knows; read and FiNd out!

It was a world not unlike our own. A parallel universe, if you will, with all our major continents, all our major cities, like New York City, London, Hong Kong, Paris, Tokyo. Only, a more futuristic version of our world, a more fantasy-based one, where anything that came to the imagination became real. There was much happiness, much humor, much laughter and joy, yet at the same time, a deep sadness that was rooted very deep in the fabric and core of this world. Misery was woven into its story, a misery that they could never escape. Much like our world….

Kate had found herself at the mall that day in Boston, Massachusetts. The Cape Cod Mall was a gigantic place filled with the most outlet stores in the city. But really, Kate just thought of it as a cattle ranch. Then again, everything felt like a cattle-ranch to her.

Kate was an eighteen year old girl; a loner who actually received much attention because she was absolutely gorgeous- black shoulder-length hair with blue braids, as blue as her piercing eyes. She was pale, but that didn't seem to faze her, because it looked good on her. She wore loose, green pinstripe cropped pants, old black converses and a long-sleeved black shirt that reached her knuckles. A long silver chain hung from her pockets, where she had stuffed her fists as she was caught in the flow of people and taken to some part of the mall where all the others were congregating to.

As she walked she noticed a huge CD store and the music playing over the speaker-system. It was the newest GorillaZ cd, Demon Days. Kate found herself smiling- GorillaZ was one of her favorite bands and had seen them many times in concert. Truthfully, they brought a smile to her face, though she was human and the music didn't appeal to many of her kind except the Animated. She looked into the store and spotted a few Animated bobbing their heads as they sampled a song from a cd they had clutched in their hands. She wondered if they were listening to GorillaZ; they were the most popular Animated band in the country- maybe the world- and they appealed to everyone, not just them. Kate smiled again and continued on to wherever the crowd was going.

It wasn't until she was standing outside a gallery, studying a painting behind glass when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She jumped and turned only to sigh as she stared into the face of her sister.

"What is it Audrey, what are you doing here?" She asked, her voice dripping in aggravation.

Audrey was older than Kate by five years, and she was just a pretty as Kate. She was wearing loose black jeans with boots that had pointed steel plates set at the tips, and fishnet- leather, straight-jacket top. Her hair was dark dreadlocked and her eyes green. Such a freak, Kate thought. But Audrey had a smile on her face.

"I'm glad I caught you here!" She said, "Mom said that you'd gone to the Mall, and I didn't think I'd be able to find you."

"Too bad…" Kate murmured, then coughed as Audrey threw her a piercing stare, "Um, anyway, so, what's wrong, what do you want?"

Audrey regained her smile, "Well, I've been in New York, and drove here to visit the Mall. A little trip me and some friends are taking.."

Kate threw her an odd look, "You? Friends? From New York? Weird. Who are they?"

Audrey smiled again in that strange way, like she was hiding a secret from Kate, and that made her even more annoyed.

"I actually wanted you to meet them…That is, if you don't mind. And to ask if you wanted to come along. Come on-"

She grabbed Kate by the wrist and led her off through the crowds, leading her toward the parking lot where a sea of cars were parked and the entrance to the monorail that lead around the city was located. They walked briskly toward what Kate noticed as an old black VW van that looked like it should have belonged in the 60's. The windows were tinted black and the doors and sides were decorated with worn graffiti. Kate's face became bewildered as she spotted the vehicle and realized that Audrey was leading her to it. Suddenly, her sister stopped and turned to stare right into Kate's face,

"Kate, before we meet my friends, you have to promise me something."

"Ok, whatever, what is it? Who are they?"

"First, promise not to scream- one of them gets really bad headaches all the time. Don't stare- one of them will get uncomfortable. Don't mention any anime or computer game or power puff girls stuff AT ALL, or you'll never hear the end of it. And whatever you do, don't mention or say 'God', even in passing, or else one of them will tear your head off. Got it?"

"Audrey, what's going on?"

She walked over, smiled at Kate before opening the door and looking inside, "Hey guys! I want you to meet my sister! She's a big fan and she's coming with us!"

Audrey beckoned for Kate to come over, who had a cautious, bewildered look about her,

"Audrey, this isn't funny, who are these gu-"

But Kate never finished her sentence, for her mouth had gone slack and she couldn't help but stare. She had poked her head inside the van and had seen her sisters "friends". Four pairs of eyes were looking at her- one dark and fathomless, one white and shy, one squinted and young, the other careless and hateful. Kate heard Audrey's voice, but only at a distance,

"Guys? This is my sister, Kate. Kate, these are my friends I met in New York. We're all taking a trip together. I think you know them..,"

Kate nodded but was only half-listening, for she couldn't tear her eyes away, for she was staring at the members of her favorite band in the world…

The GorillaZ.

This new journey is to be continued…
