Chapter 1. What the-?

"What the bloody hell are we doing down town when there is nothing but old pipes, hags, idiots, and drunks?" Murdoc yelled as Noodle, Russel, 2D, and himself walked down the side-walk.

"Speak for your OWN self about being drunk." Russel mumbled with solemn eyes.

"Besides, mate. Noodle needs a new guitar." 2D carried her on his back.

"Well what the heck is wrong with her old one!" Murdoc glared.

"Besides you breaking it?" Russel cocked an eye brow at him.

"It's not my fault the little stink made me break it. She yelled Japanese crap at me then mooned me!" Murdoc slapped his forehead.

Noodle stuck her tongue out at him then smiled evilly.

The Gorillaz walked 1 mile to the music shop, Atlas. The slogan on the door said, "The finest work of art you play." Murdoc took a permanent marker to it.

"There! The crappiest store on the long side of town that works has ever stunk on!"

Russel shook his head down and sighed as they entered. 2D crouched to the ground as Noodle jumped off lightly. She smiled and ran up to the clerk who also could speak her language. Murdoc grumbled and kicked 2D in the rear end for him to finally get up. "OW! What was that for?"

"For being a kind lazy butt, that's what." Murdoc laughed. 2D shook off the frustration to the music writings. He looked through the books with his black lonesome eyes to see what was interesting. Murdoc stepped outside to take a smoke. Russel tried out most of the drum sets.

2D looked at his side and noticed their own little book was there. He smiled a bit. He noticed a girl was pushed out of one of the rooms on the side of the wall. Up top a sign said workers only. He soon heard the boss yelling out the door at the clerk then back at the other clerk, which was the girl. He ran back into his office and slammed the door knocking a CD collection over.

"Oh crud!" She moaned then sighed, she started to pick up the CD's one by one and put them back into their racks. As she bent over more to get some CD's out from behind the cupboards by her, her red hair got into her face. She sat up and tied it into a pony tail then crouched over again. She couldn't reach it. She snapped and called for help. She saw that she and the Japanese clerk were the only ones working today. The Japanese clerk didn't know much English so she reached back again. Besides she did not notice that he was helping a popular band with a guitar. She soon accidentally cut herself on a nail in the back. "CRAP!" She didn't want to go get the boss for that he was too angry with her already. She sighed as she was about to get up, but noticed someone crouched by her with a helping hand. 2D reached and grabbed the CD's. He pulled them out and scanned through them.

"Not very good taste for this store, ay?" 2D spoke up to her.

She grabbed them politely. "Thank You. Yeah, sorry if it was not what you were looking for, were getting new CD's next month, "she started to breathe under her lips," in this old dump of the most "excellent" store." They both got up to their feet.

"Why don't you get a new job? Your boss isn't very friendly…" The girl spoke up, "I do not know where else to go. I am stuck, but I do like to do some hobbies."

"Tell me."

"No, they're not that important… But you see you look like you've got a good job and…" She looked over out the door at murdoc screaming at a squirrel, "room mates?"

"I wish. They're all good but the stubborn one."

"I know how you feel. My name is Lone, and it is great to meet you-" she was cut off.

"2D, Lone is a very lovely name."

She laughed, "I think I have seen you before, maybe walking around, chilling, or maybe… even on the- TV?"

"Yep, I am the lead singer of The Gorillaz."

"That's right! Oh wow, I really love your singing, it sounds coolio, and even though it is odd you do not have an accent with it."

He laughed a bit. Lone nodded and smiled, "Well I better get back to WORK, and probably screw the whole place up… again."

"Hey, just follow what you want to do." She nodded and walked off behind a door. 2D just smiled, until he got another kick in the rear end.

"What the bloody hell are you doing? Just standing here all gilly-dally? Noodle chose her stupid guitar, my shoe got eaten by a squirrel, and Russel fell asleep!" Murdoc got into 2D's face.

2D shoved past him and out of the way, but Murdoc grabbed his arm tight. They both stopped when they heard Noodle get on the little stage in front of them and start playing her new guitar. She stopped soon… with a pause… "I LOVE IT!" Russel soon woke up from his snoring.

"Good now let's go." Murdoc pushed 2D into the bottom of the stage by the lights. He glared and brushed himself again, and started to follow, until he froze dead again in his tracts. The other three opened the door and froze too. They all except 2D turned their heads towards the stage.

The red haired, blue eyed clerk had a microphone and was singing beautifully and loudly it seemed the whole world froze. 2D's head turned around to her, "Lone…"

She soon stopped. "You wanted to know my hobbies, right?" She crouched by him on her knees. They all turned their heads to a door that has been slammed open, and found a red faced man with steam coming out of his ears.

"This is PROPOSTERIOUS! You're not supposed to be singing and enjoying yourself with your retched voice! You're supposed to be making me money! You over slouched lazy butt girl you are!-" He was cut off by 2D. "Do you want to come with us?" Everybody but Lone and 2D froze with eyes wide. She jumped off the stage, "Sure."

The boss started to yell again, swearing all ways.

Murdoc smiled, "Now that's my type of friend!" He pointed out. Russel grabbed him by the shoulder and tugged him out with the others. Noodle jumped on 2D's back as they all started to walk.

"Now I am sure you have seen all of my band mates on the telly, but I am sure you did not meet them right?" 2D looked at Lone. "Right."

Murdoc however did not pay attention for that he was running ahead screaming, "There's that stupid squirrel again! I am gonna hunt you down for nobbin' at my shoe you shmunck!" His voice faded the farther he ran down.
