Author's Note: This is a continuation of of my previous fanfics, it all started with my first, "A Jeiel Among Gorillaz", so its best to read that first. (Just a suggestion in order to avoid confusion)
Disclaimer: I don't own Gorillaz.
Everybody makes mistakes. Mistakes are inevitable, but what if you could change these mistakes? Alter reality in order to make a better future, the ability to right past wrongs? Well you can't change the past, or can you...
"C'mon we're going to be late, what's taking so bloody long?" I yelled from behind the bathroom door.
"Hey, calm down, Mudz." Russel said to me. I crossed my arms and glared at the locked door.
"I'm almost ready..." Came from Jeiel on the other side of the door.
"What are you doing in there, love?" 2D asked, looking nervously around the room.
"It's a secret." Jeiel responded.
I sighed even louder.
"Okay, you blokes go to the Winnie, I'll wait for Jeiel." I told them. 2D tried to protest but I quickly said, "Get your fucking ass to the goddamn Winnie!" When I said this, 2D instantly turned around and quickly went to the Winnebago.
"I'm coming in there!" I bellowed and tried opening the locked door.
"No!" Jeiel protested.
"Then what's so important that you can't open the fucking door?" I asked, irritation in my voice.
"Can you keep a secret?" Jeiel whispered barely audible through the door.
"Yes, mate." I said calmly.
I heard the door unlock as she slowly began opening the door. Please don't tell me you're pregnant. Please don't be holding a pregnancy strip in your hands reading positive! I thought dreadfully to myself. When I saw her, I sighed a breath of relief that she wasn't holding a pregnancy tester in her hands. Instead she had strange goop on the roots of her hair.
"I'm not a natural blonde." Jeiel whispered to me as she closed the door behind me. I was kind of shocked, I never saw Jeiel's dark roots.
"My real hair color is light brown." She explained. Suddenly a loud ringing came from her phone.
"Ohh, its done!" She said as she bent over the bathtub to rinse her hair.
"Uh, do... you need help?" I asked but felt silly as soon as the words came out of my mouth.
"Yes, please." I then began rinsing her hair for her but not before spraying myself with the water. Water soaked my shirt.
"Mother fucking water..." I mumbled to myself as I continued to rinse Jeiel's hair. When I finished I got Jeiel a towel. She looked at me with pitiful eyes, this unsettled me a little.
"Our little secret." I said reassuringly to Jeiel. She smiled and gave me a hug.
"Thank you! It's just so embarrassing that I have to do this, I'm sorry I held everybody up." I softened my gaze.
"It's fine, now lets go, love, before we miss the cruise!" I said hurrying the re-dyed blondie out of the bathroom.
On the Winnebago, Darla began driving to our destination. We had just successfully finished our exhausting world tour and earned a lot of money. As a reward, the Gorillaz were going on a luxury cruise on the North Atlantic Ocean.
"What took so long?" 2D asked concerned. Jeiel flashed me a worried glance.
I couldn't resist being an ass as I answered, "Oi, I was helping Jeiel read a pregnancy tester."
I smiled evilly as I watched 2D's black eyes go huge and his breath quicken. Jeiel sighed in irritation and glared at me. I began chuckling to myself. 2D quickly grabbed Jeiel's hands before she had a chance to dismiss my lie.
"Are you preg'ant, Jeiel?" 2D asked, a look of wonder on his face and urgency edging in his voice. Jeiel was speechless for a moment trying to think of an explanation to my lie. 2D took this silence as a yes. His eyes got even bigger as he let go of Jeiel's hands and gently placed one hand on Jeiel's stomach with awe at the expectancy of new life. Everyone on the bus was now looking intently at Jeiel, thinking that she was pregnant. Aw, this is too fucking hilarious! I thought to myself, stifling my uncontrollable desire to burst out laughing.
"I-I'm not pregnant. Murdoc wasn't helping me read a pregnancy tester." Jeiel said hesitantly. 2D quickly took his hand off her stomach in embarrassment.
2D then looked back at me, his eyes like daggers as he pinched his lips together and said, "You almost gave me a fucking heart-attack, Murdoc!" I just couldn't contain it anymore as I began laughing hysterically.
2D sighed loudly and put one hand on his chest, trying to breath normally from my little heart-attack.
"Then what were you doing?" 2D asked Jeiel.
"Just primping." Jeiel responded. Which was true, but vague. 2D decided not to question it anymore, probably afraid of what my next answer would be.
We finally made it to the boarding dock as all of us carried large luggage for the cruise. Noodle had a purple snake-skin suitcase. Russel a dark green one, and Darla a light orange one. I carried a black suitcase. Jeiel held a hot pink suitcase. 2D walked next to her, he had his own suitcase (blue) and three others, all some different shade of pink.
"Thanks for carrying some of my luggage." Jeiel said to 2D and gave him a peck on the cheek as he struggled to carry the large supply of suitcases.
"Ticket?" A ship attendant asked us. I growled then pulled out my ticket. She took it, stamped it, then cautiously gave it back to me like I was going to bite her or some shit like that. …Well, maybe I was going to, but still... Everyone else did the same, 2D taking the longest because of his over-abundance of luggage. We all comfortably went to our rooms. 2D and Jeiel shared a room, Darla and Russel shared a room as well. Noodle had a room to herself and so did I.
After settling, I went to the deck and looked as the horizon began getting larger and the docking port got smaller as the ship glided along the waves increasing distance from any land. Jeiel and 2D were on the deck too, Jeiel sunbathing in a pink bikini with floral designs. Russel and Darla enjoying the buffet. Noodle soon came up to me and looked to the horizon.
"You know, I hear we're going to be crossing into the Bermuda Triangle." Noodle said, not taking her eyes off the horizon.
"Yep, aka Devil's Triangle. My kind of place." I said while winking to her.
"Most ships and planes get lost in the Bermuda Triangle. Is anybody here the least bit worried about that?" Noodle exclaimed making eye contact with me.
"Do you not remember my plastic beach? The Bermuda's nothin' compared to that horror." I said jokingly.
Thoughts about the Bermuda soon exited my mind as I watched the teal waves collapse on each other in perfect harmony, a certain pattern to it. A relaxing feeling passed inside me, ignorance was my bliss. My ignorance kept me calm, because if I had known what was about to happen, calm would no longer have been an option...
