Okay! 2nd chapter! Yay! :D Please read, enjoy, review!
2-D walked over to the lift, a confused expression written on his face. "Poor Noodle," he thought. "She must have had a nightmare or somefink. But, why wouldn't she tell me what it was?" As he stepped into the elevator, Tomorrow Comes Today started to play.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll pay
When tomorrow, tomorrow comes today
The skinny singer leaned against the wall. "But, before I woke her up, she seemed so peaceful. She was smiling." He kept thinking as he walked into the kitchen for lunch. Russel had prepared sandwiches and chips.
"Yo 'D, did you get Noodle up?"
"Yeah, I t'ink she might 'ave been 'aving a nightmare or somefink. Russel stopped pouring soda into his cup and turned to the blue-haired singer.
"What makes you think that?" 2-D frowned.
"Well, I woke 'er up, and she started crying, I asked 'er wot was wrong, and she muttered 'It was a dream?' then she just kept crying." Russel's face puzzled as did 2-D's.
"Is she okay?" 2-D shook his head.
"When I left, she had stopped crying, but, I don't know."
As the two Gorillaz continued their conversation, Noodle was getting dressed. Her eyes were still red from crying.
"I...I love him." She said with disbelief. "I'm 12 years younger than him, and I love him." She sniffled and picked out a plain white tee, with pink-and-red hearted short-shorts, and blue bunny slippers. She covered her red eyes with her bangs, sniffled some more, then headed downstairs to the kitchen. 2-D and Russel both looked up when she entered the room.
"Konichiwa, Russel-san, 2-D." 2-D smiled a little, barely showing his crroked teeth.
"'ey Noods, feelin' better?" She sniffled again, also blushing.
"Yeah, I'm better." She sat down next to 2-D and Russel handed her her favorite sandwich, PB&J. She bit into it, not realizing until then how hungry she was. 2-D stared admireringly at her.
"That outfit," he thought to himself "That's the same outfit she wore when..." he paused and relived a dream he had the other night. In the dream, Noodle was wearing that same outfit, he had a fuzzy memory of the dream, but he remembered it ended with the two of them kissing. When he awoke, he sighed and thought "God, she's so beautiful, and I'm such a dirty pervert!"
"2D-san? 2-D!" Noodle noticed that he had been staring off into space. He snapped out of it.
"Hm? Oh, i'm awright, love, just t'inkin'." Russel chuckled.
"Ya do that a lot, 'D?" 2-D blushed a little at that comment. He did, about that 1 particular thing.
He stood up. "I'll be right back." He walked out of the kitchen and into the bathroom. As soon as he left the room, Noodle groaned and dropped her head on the counter, not caring about the loud BANG it made when she hit it.
"Hey, Noods, are you okay?" Russel patted her head. She lifted her head, more tears starting to try to escape her eyes.
"Russel-san, I... I" She inhaled. "I think I'm in love with him, Russel!" She banged her head against the table again. Russel's expression shifted, he lowered his head.
"With 'D?" He whispered. She sniffled.
"Yes." His expression was shock, and failure to try to understand. She lifted her head. "And I don't know what to do! He's like, 12 years older than me! I'm 16! I don't even know if it's legal! Maybe... I don't know!" She once again banged her head. Russel lifted her head gently.
"Well, baby girl, I really don't know what to say. I don't know what to tell you, I'm not experienced in this, cooking is my love." He teased. She smiled while sniffling, then her smile disappeared again.
"I want to tell him, so bad. But, what if he doesn't feel the same? I doubt he does! What if it makes things awkward?" She buried her face in her arms, continuing to sniffle, fighting against the tears that were forcing themselves out of her tired, red eyes.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know Noodle-girl. Maybe, you could, give him hints?" She sat in silence for a moment. When she lifted her head again, her tears had dryed.
"Maybe, okay Russel-san. But, please, don't tell Murdoc-san about this." He shook his head and chuckled.
"You know I'm not stupid, I'm not telling that drunken idiot." She smiled.
2-D walked back into the room. "'ello, wot were you two talking about?" Noodle thought fast, then turned a little too fast towards him, nearly falling, but she caught herself.
"Um, we were gonna go see that new zombie movie tonight, the three of us." She smiled and turned her head towards Russel, who winked. 2-D cocked his head to the side.
"Three of us? What about Muds?" Noodle gulped and tried to think of an excuse. She couldn't go alone to the theaters, but she could NOT let Murdoc come. He would ruin everything, probably beat 2-D.
"Um... er... Murdoc..." At that moment, Murdoc walked in, unsuprisingly in his underwear, and his head sore from another hangover. "Murdoc has a date tonight!" She turned to Murdoc. "Right Murdoc-san?" He grabbed a beer and rubbed his neck, realizing that there was a red scratch, he didn't remember where he got that from.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Noodle glared at him.
"You remember, that girl from the other night, Amanda?"
Murdoc smiled. "Oh, yeah. She's a beauty. I guess I should call her." With that, he chugged his beer, and headed upstairs to call her. Russel knew what Noodle was doing, but he rolled his eyes at Murdoc. He then turned toward Noodle.
"Hey, 'D, why don't you and Noodle head upstairs, I think you'll find a new game up there." He smiled and winked at Noodle again. Noodle smiled big and ran over to hug Russel.
"Thank you Russel-san!" She then ran over to 2-D and tugged on his arm. "C'mon! Let's go!" He smiled and stood up, Noodle blushed when she realized she was holding his hand, then pulled away. 2-D blushed too. They then ran upstairs to 2-D's room, and found a copy of Left4Dead 3. Noodle squealed and grabbed the box, almost ripping it open, she popped the disk into the Playstation 3.
The hours flew by as did the brains of many virtual zombies. "You think you can take me? I'll crush you!" Noodle shouted as she used her virtual gun to blow the brains out of a zombie who had tried to bite her, his brains went flying! 2-D smiled as he adored her. He noticed her bangs were out of her eyes, something she rarely did. After hours of zombie-killing, Noodle walked over to the station and turned the game off.
"ey! Wor did ya do t'at for!" Noodle laughed.
"2-D! It's 8:00! We've been playing for over 6 hours straight! It's time for the movies!" 2-D looked away, nlushing.
"Oh. Awright, let's go, then."
They headed downstairs and out the doors of Kong, meeting Russel by the Jeep parked outside. Russel drove up front, leaving the giggling Noodle and blushing 2-D to talk in the backseat anout who killed more zombies.
Well, that chapter's done! Hope ya liked it! Wonder what's gonna happen at the movies? Wait-and-see! Reviews please!
