Yeah, I was reading another fic and finally came up with an idea that I like! This will eventually be a 2DxNoodle fic, but Ame is in it [[if you recall the end of All In Your Head, if you lived that long...Ame was there and revealed as Noodle's sister.]] however, Noni and Jenna aren't [[Duuhh, it's a 2DxNoodle fic. If Noni was in it 2D would be hung and fed to the whales]]. And I'm thinking about pulling Ame from stories containing the other two main OC's, but that would totally defeat it, lol. Anyways, this story is actually taken bit-by-bit from two fics that are in process. So...here's mah fic! In Noodle's POV...? Yay...?

I don't own Gorillaz or the guy who wrote the song, who I'll reveal at the end of this fic just to make you guys hate me later:D

Chapter 1

I don't know how long I was down there, or what happened to the others, but I'm back. Back from where, you ask? I was in Hell. But I made it out alive.

As I looked around, I knew I was in the basement of Kong, but there was an eerie feeling in the air. I crept towards the stairs and made my way up there, slowly but surely, and gasped. "What happened?!" I said aloud. Kong had been burnt down, there was nothing left of it. My home, destroyed. 2D, Murdoc, Russel, they could have burned with it! "Have to try and call someone-" I said, but then I realized I had no phone. I rushed to the corner store- They had a payphone. I got lucky and had leftover change in the pocket of my shorts, and called. The first person I called was 2D. Right away, the voice on the phone told me to leave a message. I left a message, but sighed knowing he wasn't going to call back. I have a secret- I love 2D more than just a friend or even a brother. It's been a secret for a long time, and I just don't have the guts to tell him, or anyone for that matter. Frantically, I tried Murdoc's phone. He didn't pick up either, and with all hope left in Russel, I called him. I suddenly grew very excited when he picked up.

"Hello? Who...is this...?"
"Russel-kun! It's Noodle!"

"You're alive?!"
"I'm alive, but not well. Where are you?"
"I'm in Seattle, Noodle-girl."

"Seattle? What year is it now?"
"2010."

"I...need a place to live. Kong burnt down, and I'm cold."
"Noodle, listen, I have to tell ya this quick, I'm at a red light. But find a taxi, tell him what happened-the driver that is- and then go to the airport. Tell one of the ticket ladies you have a family emergency and you need to catch the next flight out here. Light's green, call me back when you get to the airport, okay?"
"Hai. I will."

I was having so much trouble trying to hold back tears. Russel was alive and well, but I still didn't know about the others. A taxi passed and I jumped in front of it, which was a stupid move. But he stopped.

"Excuse me?" I asked.
"What?"

"I need to get to the airport."
"Get in kid."
"I have no money, do you mind?" I asked as I crawled into the taxi.
"I'll let you off the hook, but- hey, aren't you that girl from Gorillaz? I thought you were dead!"
"No, I'm not. And I need to get to the airport."

The driver sped off with me in the backseat. I watched the scenery go by for what seemed like hours until I closed my eyes, only for a few seconds-

"We're here," the driver told me.
"Thank you so much," I said a bit spastically as I was jerked out of my doze.
"No problem," he replied, winking. I got out of the taxi and entered the airport. Inside, lines of travellers with rolling suitcases moved from the ticket lines to the security lines. I pulled out more change from my pocket, went to a payphone, and called Russel again.

"Hello?"
"I'm at the airport. Now what should I do?"
"Go to- hold on a second." The sound of a girl in the background asked a question. Russel said, "It's in the refigerator next to the mayonnaise," then returned to me. "Sorry about that. Now, go to one of the service desks and tell them you have a family emergency and have no money. Tell them it's urgent."
"O-okay."

"You're doing great, Noodle. Just go tell them."

"Okay. Bye..."

I hung up the phone and slumped over to a service desk. I rung the bell. The lady turned around. "Hm?" she asked.

"I...have a family emergency in Seattle. I have no money, and I need to catch a plane. Please, it's urgent."
"I know who you are, and I'll be happy to place you on the next available flights over there."
"Flights?"
"Well, you need to fly into New York, then Chicago, then Seattle. It takes a while."
"Okay..."
I watched the lady click on flights and some boarding passes printed from the small printer. "Okay, your flight number is 2323 and it's at Gate 23, concourse D." I could not help but smirk at the irony of this. "Arigato," I said, then went through security very quickly. I then found the train and hopped on it. After I sat down, a small girl no more than five or six years old sat down next to me. She looked at me and smiled and waved. I waved back and smiled as well, then looked back out the window. They called my concourse and I got up. Gate 23 was right there, and my flight was boarding already. I hopped in line. After about 5 minutes, I was in a seat towards the front. The sun was setting. A man in a business suit sat down next to me. He was on his phone, and as he sat down, he said "I love you," and hung up. I used the opprotunity to ask to borrow his phone. "Excuse me," I said quietly. He didn't respond. "Excuse me, sir?" I asked.
"Yes?"
"May I borrow your cell phone? I don't have one and I need to call my guardian."

"You'll give it back, right?"
"Of course."
"Well, make it quick."
"Okay."

He handed the device to me. I called Russel again.

"Noodle?"
"Russel!"
"Did you make it?"
"I'm fine! I used someone's phone, I'm on a plane now. I will call you when I get there."
"Okay, glad you got on. Have a safe trip. I'll see you soon."

"Goodbye."
"Bye, Noodle-girl."
I closed the phone and handed it back to the man. "Thank you, kind sir."
"No problem."
I looked out the window at the passing planes, then we started moving. After the safety instructions, I simply laid back and slept. The sleeping felt good, I hadn't slept in a very long time.

When I woke up, we had touched down in New York. I still had my boarding passes in hand, and so I ran to the other side of the airport to get on my next flight. Once again, same thing. I slept the whole way to Chicago.

In Chicago, I cried on the plane. The woman asked me why I was crying, and I said, "I'm just so happy to be alive!"
"Well, I bet we all are," she replied.

"No, it's much more than that."
"As in...?"
"I've had a rough four years. I almost died in a crash, then I was in Hell-"
"You were in Hell?"
"I was."
"You got out?"
"Hai."

"Well, hang in there. You're, how old?"
"Nineteen, I think..."
"Well, you've got a long way to go there."
I felt better, and this time I didn't sleep. I was too excited to see Russel again to sleep. It had been so long, he probably missed me so much! The flight seemed to drag on. I smiled when the plane bounced down the runway. I exited the plane first, then tried a payphone. It didn't work with the coins I had in my pocket, so I asked a cashier at a nearby shop to exchange. I got lucky, and then went to go call Russel again.
"I'm here," I said excitedly.
"I know, I'm right behind you."

I hung up and turned around. My face lit up. "Russel-kun!"

I flung myself into his belly and sobbed. It felt great to see Russel again.

"You done?" he asked about a minute later.
"I am."
"Well, I'm takin ya home."
I followed Russel to his car. It reminded me of him, smelled like him too, and the dice hanging from the rearview mirror were just a bonus, I suppose. The drive to his house from the airport wasn't very long. Where he lived wasn't half bad, it wasn't a huge mansion but it wasn't a shack. I was curious as to why it appeared to have three bedrooms, when only he lived there. His response? "You'll see."

When I got inside, I slid off my boots and then went to go explore the house. It was unusually clean, which made me wonder. Russel had gotten me new clothes, which made me pretty happy. I even looked at the bedrooms. Russel's was easy to pick out, but I was really curious about the one across the hall. I opened the door, and a small purple-haired girl with chunky black-and-white checkered headphones on her head was laying on her stomach in the center of the room writing in a notebook. She popped her gum then looked back. "Noodle...?" she said.
"Who...are you?"
"Noodle, don't you know me?"
"Actually, no, I don't."
"I'm Ame. I'm your sister."
"I have a sister?"
"You had a brother too. He died."
Brother? Sister? Suddenly, the tragic flashback started. I remember it, he was one of the other 22 supersoldiers. I watched him die. I remember Kyuzo telling me about my sister before wiping my memory. I snapped back to reality.

"Ame...Oshan..."

"I am Ame. Your younger sister."
"I can't believe this...! I-"
"Oshan is dead."
"I know."

I talked more with Ame and found out that she was adopted by Russel because he thought she was me. I also found out Russel put her in gymnastics because she was severely uncoordinated and it would help her. I also found out she is 15, and has a fear of windmills. She too was in a supersoldier project, which also failed but she fell ill before it was over and was placed in an orphanage because our parents died in an earthquake. I also found out my real name is Bureizu Akuma. Apparently our parents were nature freaks and wanted to do something different. They even changed our last name to Mizo. Just when I thought our family wasn't any weirder, Ame showed me her cartilage piercing and said she got it when she was four.

That night I slept peacefully, until I woke up late at night to the sound of Russel spazzing out downstairs. "F--KIN' MURDOC!" I grabbed the jacket Ame lent me and put it on. When I went out to the hallway, I saw Ame trotting down the stairs and the glow of a TV downstairs. When I got down there, I asked Russel, "What's wrong?"
"Murdoc left us off his new album. Ame, Noodle, get dressed and pack your things. We're going to Plastic Beach."

A/N: Ahah, Russel isn't too happy. Wait till Noodle finds out about the android :3 And the arrival at Plastic Beach is going to differ majorly, Noodle doesn't meet the android for a few days. ;D One more chapter for today? Ooookayyy:D!
