Chapter Two- Ice Cream Party!
Noodle screamed gleefully, grasped Lira's hand tighter, and skipped over to the lift and punched '1' when Murdoc and 2-D came in. Russel took the stairs since everyone was in the lift and it couldn't possibly fit him.
When the lift came to their stop, Noodle grabbed Lira's hand and sped off to the kitchen.
"Noodle-chan! NOODLE-CHAN! Yame! YAME!" Lira yelled and Noodle stopped suddenly and sent Lira unwillingly into the door. (Stop! STOP!) Murdoc and 2-D stared stunned at the impact and surprised that they didn't hear any cracking.
Noodle gasped and helped Lira up. Lira was grasping her forehead and groaning, "Noodle-chan…baka, kime." (Noodle, focus idiot…)
2-D ran over and opened the door, "Sorry Lira-love, Noodle's a bit…uhh…ene'getic."
Lira blushed slightly at the sound of, 'Lira-love.' It sounded so…so…so…Lira snapped back to reality, what was she thinking? She probably looks scary to him! Mismatched eyes, long tongue, Satanist! What would HE find in HER? But she could dream right?
Lira and the Gorillaz filed into the kitchen and sat down around the table, except Russel. He smiled as Lira came in and said, "You like Neapolitan Lira?" She nodded. 2-D looked at Russel and asked, "Bu' how did you get in 'ere an' we-" Russel shook his head, "I'll tell ya later 'D." Russel scooped out Neapolitan ice cream into some lavender bowls. (AN: Don't ask…) Noodle bowed and snatched a spoon and dug in.
"So..." 2-D said trying to bring up conversation, " 'ow old are you?"
"Uuuuhh… aroun' twenty-two or sumthin' I don' know," Lira replied and ate some ice cream.
She saw Rus and 'D staring at her and decided to clear it up after a big gulp, "We're not real-REAL brother n' sister, we're 'alf siblin's. We gots'a same father." She closed her eyes; she was getting a brain freeze, isn't THAT special? (XD)
Noodle looked outside at the landfill and said, "Hoshi ga pika pika hikatte iru."
Murdoc dropped his spoon unexpectingly and said, "Wot tha' bloo'y 'ell did she say?"
2-D nodded, "She like Poke'mon on sum'thin?"
"She said, ' The stars are twinkling,' ya know… and I have like a question or sumthin', where am I gonna go t' sleep?" Lira looked at Murdoc and 2-D for guidance.
Murdoc glanced at Noodle and said, "Since YOU know blo'y Japanese, you can stay wit' Noodle."
"NUDORU-DA!" Noodle screamed and grabbed Lira's arm and rushed her out of the kitchen. Faint screams and groans could be heard and were obviously Lira's.
"Noodle's really gotta control tha' sugar rush," Russel said and shook his head. 2-D just dropped his spoon and stared as the kitchen door swung back and forth and finally shut.
After a few turns, they came to a door marked with the number: '17' in red. Noodle pushed the door open and revealed a room with a nice window, Japanese lanterns hanging from the ceiling, samurai armor, a few posters, and a small bamboo mat with a pillow on the ground. (AN: Sorry if this wasn't what it looked like in phase 1, I didn't learn about the Gorillaz until phase 2…so bare with me! .;;; I'm using her phase 2 room as a reference.)
Lira looked around and sat on the floor and rubbed her arm, she swore under her breath. Noodle looked at Lira and frowned, "Gomen nasai, Lira-sama, gomen." (Sorry Lira, sorry!) She smiled and waltzed over to her closet and pulled out another mat and pillow and threw it to the ground three centimeters next to Lira. Lira looked at it closely and chuckled. The pillow had 2-D's face on it and was surrounded in pink. She pointed to the pillow and looked at Noodle questionably, "2-D-kun, nani?" (2-D? What?)
Noodle laughed and ran out of the door and into the first floor lobby. Lira sighed and shook her head.
"She's a strange one all righ'," and smoothed out the pillow. "Wonder why she chose this…"
She heard a knock at the door and looked up. She turned the pillow facedown and asked, "Wot?"
"Uhh Lira-love, it's 2-D…you need anytink?" 2-D opened the door and looked at her.
Lira shook her head, "Nah, I'm fine…but you could do one thing…" She smiled evilly.
2-D looked at her nervously, 'I know tha' look,' he thought. 'Looks jus' like Murdoc, she does. I hope SHE don't kill me, she's pretty too.' "Wha'?" he asked cautiously and prepared to back away.
"You can give me a tour 'D, startin' now!"
