Chapter One- Are We There Yet?
A/N: Hey! Thanks for selecting "Gorillaz Go To the Beach." This is my first Gorillaz story, so please excuse my bad writing. But, who knows! You could like it. I want to thank my sister (blue-eyed-cow) for ideas on this story =) Please read some of her Gorillaz stories, they're a lot better than mine and I think any Gorillaz fan would really like it. This story takes place during the second phase. Noodle is 13, and can speak English.
This chapter is from third person's view. I like to switch views throughout the story, because I think everyone in a band is equally important. If you like this chapter (or any others) please give me a review, and tell me what I need to work on, or any comments you have.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gorillaz.
"Murdoc, where are we going?" Noodle asked confused. The band sat in the Gorillaz van, Murdoc driving recklessly. 2D had his hands over his eyes, moaning from his migraine and Murdoc's sharp turns. Murdoc grunted in the front seat, turning back towards noodle.
"I already told you Noodle, we're going to the beach." He grunted. "We need a break." He added in. Crash, he hit someone's bumper, throwing all of them forward. Murdoc yelled swears as 2D held his head in his palms.
"Murdoc, you better be more careful or your gunna hurt my lil girl and the van, too!" Russel scolded, pushing his head from behind.
"The damn car hit ME." Murdoc protested, swinging his dirty head back towards Russel, sending out one of his evil glares. Noodle got out her Nintendo DS and played her anime games, ignoring dirty words being sent out by both men. 2D was moaning in the front passengers set, throwing handfuls of pills at a time into his mouth.
"Murdoc are we there yet?" Noodle groaned throwing her DS at his seat. Murdoc groaned, trying not to yell at her, because Russel would probably beat him.
"Yes Noodle. 10 minutes." Murdoc grumbled. Russel glared at him, once again, keeping a close eye on him. 2D was now leaning against the seat rubbing his temples.
They passed by towns, with high towers and tall green trees, and lakes that were shining blue. Seagulls flew by overhead, the street was bumpy, and Murdoc was turning out of his way to hit animals.
"Hey look Noods." He smiled. "Whenever I run over an animal, the wheels leave a trail of blood!"
Noodle laughed. "You're silly, Murdoc!" She smiled, looking out the back window at the trails of blood coming from the car.
They arrived just as Murdoc said, about 10 minutes later, to the sandy, sunny beach. Murdoc got out of the car, and him and Russel carried the cooler filled with drinks to the beach, while 2D and Noodle got the towels and buckets.
"Can we set up here?" Noodle cheerfully asked, pointing to a sunny spot on the beach. The beach was really crowded: from girls in bikinis, to boys and men in trunks. Paparazzi were following the band, (they were really used to it by now) like screaming girls, flirting with 2D.
"Sure, luv." Murdoc said, taking out a towel. Noodle was pretty surprised to see that Murdoc was wearing trunks instead of a Speedo. The beach was pretty well planned out. It had a bar, also selling coconut juice and ice cream, the ocean of course, followed up by the sand, and there was a karaoke contest going on in the corner of the beach.
"Hey 2D, wanna go swim with me?" Noodle asked, smiling and showing her yellow teeth.
"Erm, I was actually going to do the karaoke contest first… but sure, Noods." 2D smiled.
"Where's Russel?" Noodle asked, looking around the beach. She saw Russel sitting in the sand quietly, building a sand castle, which was just a small lump and sticking a twig on top for the flag.
Murdoc was flirting with some girls on the beach, you could tell he was most attracted to the blonde lifeguard, and she was moving uncomfortably close to him. 2D covered Noodles eyes, and held her hand, leading to the water.
