I'm sorry if there are errors in my stories but honestly its been 6 years since I graduated and my mind doesn't work like it used to. I try to catch them all but still may miss some. Sorry! My hands don't always type what my mind is thinking
Chapter 1 Tokyo Drifter
I had met Noodle while on vacation in Japan. She was standing at a food stand ordering some strange type of green tea soup with rice in it. I sat down next to her just asking if it was any good but she quickly kept up the conversation. I never expected that one question to turn in to such a great friend ship but I couldn't help but love Noodle. We quickly became like best friends hanging out every day while she told me stories of her band mates as she showed me around her home land. Honestly I had never really had a friend like her before. Sure I had a ton of friends back in high school but after graduation everyone seemed to go there own ways. My group of friends were not the normal type, some ended up stocking shelves at the local convenience stores, some passed way before there time, and to be honest some are probably standing on the corner right now trying to make enough money to pay rent. It made me sad to think that none of us have really done anything with our lives, but when I met Noodle, well she made me feel that you don't always have to go to collage or work on wall street to be successful all you really need is the right group of friends to push you along in the right direction and she sure thought she had the right group of friends for me.
I had always played the bass ever since I was young. My father had taught me how to play before he took off, and I just always continued to learn after that. I didn't know much about him, all I knew was that He was in and out of my life until I was about 6 then I never heard from him again. My mom always told me it was better that I didn't know him. She always referred to him as the bastard spawn of Satan. The thought of that always made me laugh. It had been almost 2 years sense my mother passed, I haven't been home to England sense then. I'd been traveling the world, I playing in a going no where band in America for a few months before coming to Japan where I met my new best friend.
"I'm going to take you to Kong" Noodle told me handing me a plane ticket.
"But I...wait...why...I thought you were staying here for a while." I asked confused
"I miss them and I really think they would like you we can definitely use talent like you around too." She replied starting to pack her bag
We had been staying in a hotel together in Tokyo. We have been traveling around Japan together for about 4 months now. It was always a fun interesting time with her.
"What if they don't like me?"
"I know they will don't worry about it, well at least most of them, Murdoc may just try hitting on you. He likes the young ones." She said laughing as she continued packing her bag
I wasnt that young. I had just turned 25 in June but I guess for an older man like Noodle had described I was young. She had shown me photos of them before, telling me a little about each one. Russel was there drummer who was also possessed by his dead friend Del. 2D was the super cute black eyed blue haired singer, I always found myself smiling when she talked about him, and Murdoc well...he was the boss, the self proclaimed leader, or horny satanic bass slaying bastard as Noodle liked to call him. I was very nervous to meet them, especially 2D sense I found myself thinking about him a lot when Noodle would mention his name in a random conversation.
"Hello hello anyone home" Noodle said snapping her fingers in front of my face bringing me out of another day dream about the cute singer of her band.
"pack up we gotta leave in 20 minutes" she said throwing me my duffel bag.
We landed at the Stanstead airport in Essex and were greeted by the black haired green skinned bassist that noodle had showed me in the pictures. Seeing him in person was odd, he reminded me of someone but couldn't quite put my finger on it. He greeted Noodle with a hug then turned to me, cocking his head as he looked me up and down for a moment like he may have know me from somewhere.
"Very nice to meet you miss Nicole Ive heard a lot abou' you from our Noodle here" He said reaching for my hand, kissing it.
Murdoc drove us home in a little green camo car he called the Geep. I'd never seen one before and honestly I never want to again. At least not while Murdoc is driving. Murdoc pulled in to the car park quickly excusing himself as he headed in to a shabby Winnebago parked next to us.
"This way Nikki hurry hurry" Noodle said pulling me by the arm in to the huge dark house.
We entered the living room where 2D and Russel were sitting watching t.v.
"Noodle!" 2D yelled as he jumped of the couch greeting her with a big hug, Russel following behind doing the same.
"Guys this is Nicole" she said introducing me.
"Nice ta mee' ya Nicole" 2D said hugging me.
"Nikki " I simply said returning the hug.
"Kay Nikki" he said laughing, giving me a small peck on the cheek.
Russel followed also giving me a hug "Nice to meet you" he said
"Hows abou' I show ya yo' room" 2D said grabbing my arm where Noodle had, pulling me along down the long dark hall way.
"thas' mah room there" He said pointing to a door as we passed it
"thas Russels" pointing to the next door.
"an 'ere is yours" He said opening the door to the room, flicking on the light.
It big with plane white walls a small dresser with a t.v. on it and a very large bed with pink sheets.
"Noodle is jus one door tha' way" he said pointing down the hall.
"Thank you" I said as I threw my bag on the bed plopping down on the side.
"I'll le' ya ge' unpacked" 2D said once again hugging me then leaving the room closing the door behind him.
I fell back on to the bed trying to control my smile as I thought about finally meeting the black eyed blue hairs singer that I secretly had been crushing on after Noodle told me so much about him.
