Notes: Last chapter, I misspelled the drummer's name. Please ignore the last 'l' in his name when you read it Day I, and give me time to correct it. Your patience –and your reviews- are always much appreciated…I can't wait to get 20 reviews! Thank you for your R&R-ing, and enjoy this chapter! WHO IS Del?
Chapter Dedication: This chapter is dedicated to acid-dragon, my first reviewer! Thank you, acid-dragon, and keep on keeping on!

Day
II: To Sing Again
When the Geep pulled up to its designated spot (without losing lives, which was a miracle, seeing as the drummer's driving was terrible), 2-D got out and patted each one on the head as greeting. As Noodle was bringing out the keyboard equipment and setting it up, she gave several verbal salutations. Afterwards, she retreated to the Geep as the music started…after about ten seconds, 2-D began, the children, and a lost rapper all singing at different times, with the exception of the first verse began to sing.
"Uh uh uh... I need a gun to keep myself from harm
The poor people are burning in the sun
But they ain't got a chance
They ain't got a chance
I need a gun
Cause all I do is dance
Cause all I do is dance
I need a gun to keep myself from harm
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
Cause all I do is dance
Cause all I do is dance
In my backpack
I got my act right
In case you act quite difficult
And yo is so weakin'
With anger and discontent
Some are seeking and searching like me, moi
I'm a peace-loving decoy
Ready for retaliation
I change the whole occasion to a pine box six-under
Impulsive don't ask wild wonder
Orders given to me is:
strike and I'm thunder with lightning fast reflexes on constant alert
from the constant hurt that seems limitless with no dropping pressure
Seems like everybody's out to test ya
'til they see your brake
They can't conceal the hate
That consumes you
I'm the reason why you flipped your soosa
Chill with your old lady at the tilt
I got a 90 days digit
And I'm filled with guilt
From things that I've seen
Your water's from a bottle
mine's from a canteen
At night I hear the shots
Ring so I'm a light sleeper
The cost of life,
it seems to get cheaper
out in the desert
with my street sweeper
The war is over
So said the speaker with the flight suit on
Maybe to him I'm just a pawn
So he can advance
Remember when I used to dance
Man, all I want to do is dance
(Dance!)
(Dance!)
(Dance!)
I
need a gun to keep myself from harm…"
Then the music stopped and silence hit everyone present like ten tons of bricks. Noodle stepped into the desert, dismantled the equipment, and put it in the Geep. She then asked no one in particular if they knew the directions to the mansion the Gorillaz were to play in.
All present shook their heads, 2-D going back to the vehicle as he did so. The little children stood there as the band or rather, Murdoc's band loaded the Geep and left.
Noodle was staring out the window, the sand dunes passing her by. She was thinking of the upcoming gig and the money she could put toward her mother's surgery.
"Noodle, love?" the vocalist's voice rang through her mind. "You awright?"
The
guitarist's purple bangs covered her dark eyes as she answered with
a weak 'hai'. Noodle's voice was weak because as she looked out
at one dune, she could have sworn she saw the figure of her drunken
father.
