Explanation for why this chapter is so late at the bottom of the page. Thanks to all the people who are still reading my story. And to Punk13405, Glasscase of Emotions, and g.fortnods for reviewing.
Cortez awoke slowly. Every muscle burning feeling as if she was dying. She groaned and rolled over. She saw a blurry shape in front of her and tried to focus on it. It was colorful, small and had purple hair. She squinted again. Ah yes it was Noodle all right. Noodle was wearing rainbow rain boots, a blue shirt that said " Smile" in bright green letters and red basketball shorts. Cortez tried to speak but found she was as mute as if she was still a raven. Noodle looked up from the book she was reading and noticed Cortez was awake. She smiled at her. Noticing Cortez's odd expression. She cleared her thoart and said," Hi Cortez. You ran and we followed. We brought you back. You see Murdoc had no idea he hurt you. The baka(idiot) He thought that he had hit 2-D. He was very upset to learn he was wrong. I hope that you don't run away again. You are like a big sister and make Murdoc act more like a human. So will you stay?"
Cortez slowly moved her head up and down. Noodle squealed with glee. Cortez flinched. That noise was way to high. All she wanted to do was go back to sleep. Acuatully she had to rethink that. What she really wanted was food. So she dragged her body up and looked around. She was in Noodle's room. So let's see if she could remember where the cafe was. So with shuffling feet he got to the cafe. It was empty except for Murdoc who was sitting in the conner. Murdoc looked up and saw it was her. His face paled and he started stuttering. Cortez dragged her face into a smile and found her voice."It's fine. Noodle told me what happened. I overreacted also."
"Murdoc calmed down and simply grunted. Cortez found her smile more easily this time. Master never was good with the putting together of the apology and it coming out. She was fine with that grunt. She got some of the meat out of the fridge and sat down next to Murdoc and dug into it. Literally. She stuck her hand in the meat and pulled up a chunk and stuck it in her mouth. Once she was full she leaned on Murdoc's shoulder and fell asleep.
Murdoc looked over at the sleeping raven. Or was she still a raven was it possibly that she had transformed into a woman. But with any other woman he didn't ever care if he hurt them. Except Noodle but she was like his younger sister. But Cortez wasn't that but she also wasn't just another woman. All this thinking was hurting his brain. Oh well things in the Kong Studios were going to be even more interesting now that Cortez was here. And that was just the way he liked it.
Okay now for the explanation. I really have no heart for this story anymore. I usually don't do anything concerning the Gorrilazs nowadays but I don't want to be one of those people who stop their story midway because then I'd have no right to be annoyed with them. So I'll continue just a bit more slowly. Sorry bout this guys.
By the way. The next few chapters will be set in a half year time frame. Humor to thoughtful there isn't going to really be a plot until I've written maybe as much as five of these. But then it'd be the end of the story. So if you have any ideas for pieces you want to see now is the time to ask.
Bye for now
-Murdoca
