Chapter 4
The next Morning The Gorillaz woke up to get ready for band Practice. Noodle went upstairs to wake Alphonce up.
She knocked on his door. "Alphonce-san, Time to wake up." There was no answer. Noodle opened the door to find Murdoc's room demolished and Alphonce missing. Looked around and found a note on the destroyed bed.
I Promise I'll be back with that money,
I've left for a couple months but I'll be back.
Wait for me, Alphonce.
Noodle felt tears stream down her face. She knew that this was Gregory's fault. If he had just been more nicer to the boy, Alphonce probably wouldn't have ran away.
She rushed down stairs to tell the other's. "You guy's! Alphonce is Gone!"
"WHAT?" The other three Band members exclaimed in unison.
Meanwhile
Alphonce was at the train station waiting for the train that would take him to Stoke-On-Trent.
Once the train Arrived he handed the engineer his train ticket. The engineer took it. Then he stared at Alphonce for a minute.
Alphonce got up off the bench and climbed onto the train and found himself a seat and sat down. The train started to move and eventually Alphonce was on his way to Stoke-On-Trent.
A couple hours later The train arrived at it's destination. Alphonce Handed the engineer a tip.
The five year old then slipped his Backpack on his back and got off the train with Cortez perched on his shoulder.
He then looked at the city he was now in. Stoke-On-Trent.
A few minutes later Alphonce was walking through the city on his way to the local pub. Once he arrived at the pub, he went inside and saw where he could sign himself up. There was a man at the desk who spotted Alphonce.
"Hey there little boy!" They man greeted politely. "Would You like to sign yourself up for A chance to win The upcoming 'Are-You-A-Star Talent contest'?" The man handed Alphonce a clip board and a pen.
Alphonce read the Paper and saw that there were different options. One of the options read that you could have more than one person performing with you, depending on the song that you were going to sing.
Alphonce put a check mark next to the option and signed his name on the dotted line.
He handed the man back the clip board and pen. The man took it and read it.
Name: Alphonce Niccals
Age: 5 Years old
Gender: Male
The Song I will be singing: "I've Got No String's! (Extended Version)"
Who I Will Be Dressed Up As: The Small wooden boy Pinocchio.
Will there be anyone singing with me?: Yes.
The man looked at the clipboard and back down at Alphonce. He read the boy's Name again and was surprised at what the boy's name was.
"Alphonce Niccals." The man smiled.
"You know there was once a young boy named Murdoc Niccals." He smiled at Alphonce.
"He once sang the song that you plan on singing." The man told Alphonce.
Alphonce was surprised at this. His father once sang "I've Got No Strings!"?
The man stared at Alphonce for a minute. "Ya' know, you look alot like him."
"I'm his son." Alphonce answered.
The man's eye's widened at hearing this. "You're his son?"
Alphonce nodded.
"What a surprise." The man exclaimed.
A couple hours later
Alphonce was looking for a place to stay. He continued to search until eventually he found an old house that looked like it was once an orphanage.
He walked up the stairs to find that the door was unlocked. He opened the door and stepped inside. and closed the door behind him.
It was dark inside Making it hard for Alphonce to see for. Cortez suddenly flew off of Alphonce's shoulder and found a light switch.
He flicked the lights on using his beak and flew back onto Alphonce's shoulder.
Suddenly Alphonce heard what sounded like small footsteps. Several of them. The sounds were coming from the floor above him. He walked up the stairs and saw what looked like an old play room.
Alphonce opened the door an saw a whole bunch of kids singing.
I need a gun to keep myself among
The poor people are burning in the sun
No, they ain't got a chance
They ain't got a chance
I need a gun
Cos all I do is dance
Cos all I do is dance
"Hello?" Alphonce spoke.
Suddenly the kids all stopped singing and turned there heads to see Little Alphonce standing in the door way.
Alphonce became scared and began to stutter and apology. "S-sorry I-I didn't mean to.."
"'Ello there!" Once of the kids brightly chirped at Alphonce.
"Come on in!" One of the other kids spoke.
Alphonce stepped into the play room. Alphonce looked at the group of kids. There had to be atleast 10 or 15 of them, and they all looked to be a couple years older than Alphonce. Upon closer inspection Alphonce noticed that all of there clothes were tattered and torn.
"My name is Alphonce." Alphonce introduced himself. "Who a'e you guy's?" He asked.
"We're 'The Children's Choir of San Fernandez'." A young girl spoke. "And this is the Stoke Orphanage" She explained.
"Orphanage?" Alphonce exclaimed. "Yew mean yo' guy's a'e all orphans?" He asked them.
They all nodded at him.
"Well, I need a place to stay an I wos wonde'ing if maybe I could stay he'e."
"Su'e! yew can say wif us!" A boy with blue hair popped out from the group of kids and he looked to be about seven years old.
"This is Stewart he's our leader." One of the other boy's stated.
"Nice to meet yew." Stewart held his hand out to Alphonce. Alphonce smiled and shook his hand.
Once Alphonce got himself settled in. The other kids invited him to play with them welcoming him into their family.
Meanwhile back with The Gorillaz
It was late and dark out, as well as, it was raining outside and thundering. The four Band members (Noodle, Cyborg Noodle, Russel, And 2D) Were all sitting at the table Staring at the note Alphonce had left them.
They all had became worried after Alphonce had left. But they had no choice but to wait and see. After all he was there leader.
"Wot a'e we going to do?" 2D Asked.
"All we can do is wait, like he told us to." Noodle answered sounding pitiful.
"Aw man, I wish Murdoc wos he'e." 2D said.
"Well he's not, and wishing that he was ain't gonna bring him back man." Russel replied.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. 2D went to answer it. He was surprised that someone would come especially at this time of night especially in this kind of weather.
When 2D Opened the door, his eye's widened, and his mouth fell open at who it was standing in the doorway.
The man was leaning against the door frame and he looked weak.
His clothes were torn and his raven black hair was hanging over his eye's wet from the rain.
His green skin was slightly a lesser shade of green then what it was three years ago. He looked at 2D and spoke.
"Hey Face-Ache, are ya' gonna let me in, Or are ya' gonna stand there like an idiot?" He asked
He's baaack! I bet you can guess who it is in the door way! Leave your reviews and I'll continue!
