Here's my 1st Gorillaz fanfic. :D It's basicaly a story of what it was like after Noodle joined the band. Before anyone says anything, no she doesn't fall in love with 2D. She merely see's him as a big brother figure. I'm sorry but as adorable as they both are i can't pair a girl up with a dude twice her age...

Anyways I hope you enjoy!

Please comment!

Be nice!

Chapter .1.

Before...

The sounds of screams filled 2D's room as he watched his favorite movie, Dawn of the Dead. He sat on his old, tattered bed with an emotionless look on his dented face as he mindlessly watched flesh being ripped of the bones of innocent people by rage-consummed zombies. He enjoyed hiding out in his room. It was the one place he could get peace and sanctuary from the never-ending torment he recieved from his bandmate, Murdoc.

He didn't mind Murdoc's taunts that much, afterall its all in good fun, but after being called "face-ache" fifty times a day it was too much to stand.

He layed his head down on his pillow, still gawking at the movie on-screen, and sighed. He hadn't got a lot of sleep the night before as he was going over the lyrics to a song he and the band had just finished. As he relaxed on his bed, he felt his black, bruised eyes close. Drifting off into a little nap, he allowed a wide smile to slowly creep across his face. He was at peace.

Well, at least untill...

"Oi! Wake up!" yelled a gruff voice.

2D felt something hit the top of his head. He opened his eyes and standing at the side of his bed was Murdoc, wearing nothing but a pair of tight, torn jeans and a pair of old, manky trainers.

"What do you want?" squeaked 2D in his usual cute, wimpy voice.

"Did you place the 'ad?"

"Ughn...what 'ad?" asked 2D as he scratched his face in confusion

"What 'ad?! What 'ad?!" barked Murdoc "for the new guitarist you messed-up mad-head!"

Then it finally hit him. Oh no! thought 2D I totally forgot about that! I'm in for it now...

"Um, sorry Murdoc." he said with a nervous smile on his face. "I-I was looking over the lyrics to our new song and-"

"YOU STUPID LITTLE WORM!" yelled Murdoc as he slapped 2D as hard as he could over the top of his head.

"Oww!" whined 2D "I'm sorry Murdoc! I-I thought it would be a good idea to learn the song before we preformed-"

"What's the point you dunce?!" yelled Murdoc, his face red with rage "we need another guitarist for this song so HOW CAN WE PREFORM IT?! YOU HAVEN'T PLACE THE BLOODY ADD IN THE PAPER YET!"

"Sorry..."

"Argh! Forget you!" spat Murdoc "I'll go and do it myself!"

On that note, the door slammed shut and 2D was alone once again...with one extra bruise on his head. He layed his head back down onto the pillow once more. He had a scary thought:

"My god." he said out loud to himself. "I hope whoever our new guitarist is...doesn't treat me like Murdoc does..."

He then closed his eyes and drifted slowly but surly, back into his nap.
