Chappie 2

I never knew 2D could drive so well. Sure, he had me thrown about a bit but he didn't drive too bad for a guy who was run over twice! He had the car's top down so the wind was whipping at our faces.

He was calmly lying back and driving with one hand "Ya don't mind if I smoke, do ya?"

"No, not at all."

He gave one of his goofy (but cute) smiles and reached into a compartment. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter "Could ya light it up fer me?" he asked. He had to put both hands on the wheel as we were now on the motorway.

"Sure." I flicked the lighter on and covered it up with my hand. 2D took two puffs and thanked me. I smiled. I didn't really mind people smoking. I just know it's something I would never do.

I had no idea why I liked him. Maybe it was the way he smiled and showed his missing front teeth. Or was it his deep, black eyes? I didn't know but I liked him nonetheless.

"So, 'ow old are ya?" he asked.

"Fourteen. On the verge of turning fifteen next week." I replied "What about you?" I already knew his age. I was always looking for news on the Gorillaz on the internet.

"Eigh'een. Ya know, you're not much older 'ven Noods."

Noodle, I knew, was thirteen.

"I saw Noodle in the park earlier." I said.

"Yeah, I f'ought she was about. She talk to ya?" I told him about the cross I found and how Noodle had asked for it.

"Murdoc must a left it 'vere yesterday. We all went to da park to relax nd 'e must a dropped somehow."

"But he never takes it off… Does he?"

"I dunno but 'e were real angry 'bout it so 'e told us to find it. Maybe 'e won't be so grumpy now…"

There was a small silence. Not an uncomfortable one, it was just… A silence.

We approached a graveyard like place with a few zombies lurking about. 2D didn't even go around them, he just ran them over! I had to admit, it was quite funny. In the middle of the graveyard was a small mountain where Kong Studios sat atop it.

"'ere we are!" 2D said as he swerved the car to a stop. I hopped out and followed him up the small mountain. It wasn't an exhausting climb but I was still a little tired so I was panting a little bit.

"Ya awright, Sam?" he asked as we reached the top. There was the "Geep" from 19/2000 video parked just outside.

"I'm fine."

The Sun had begun to rise. The sky started to turn pink and green. 2D was looking up at it "I love da sky. Especially clouds." I smiled. He was so cute when he was thoughtful!

"Konichiwa 2D-san!" Noodle's voice came from inside the studio. She came bouncing out the doors. I must have been asleep a long time for Noodle to walk here before 2D and I arrived.

"Heya Noods." He said bending down to her level. Noodle rammed into him, giving him a hug.

"Ogenki desu-ka?" she asked.

"Noods, remember ya said ya were gonna try ya best to speak English."

"Gomen." She then giggled "Sorry!"

"S'alright Noods." 2D stood up "Dis 'ere is Sam. I f'ink ya met 'er before in da park."

"Hai! I mean… Yes. You founded Murdoc's shiny cross."

"Yeah. Did you give it to him?" I asked.

Noodle nodded "I think him more happy now."

"Murdoc is never 'appy." 2D joked. We all laughed.

"C'mon in 'ven." 2D invited, I smiled and walked in. The walls of the lobby were white and clean. It smelt like that stuff that polishes floors.

We walked through some corridors. The corridor walls were yellow and the smell wasn't as clean.

"Oyasumi!… Good night!" Noodle waved as she left us so she could go to her room.

"Good night!" Shouted 2D and me simultaneously.

We entered the car park. This was where Murdoc's Winnebago was and where the entrance to 2D's room was. That's when the question dawned on me. Where was I going to sleep?

"Uh… 2D." I gulped. I didn't want to share Murdoc's Winnebago if that was 2D's plan. Murdoc snarls in his sleep and there is always stuff everywhere.

"Yeah." He turned around. His T Virus shirt had a bluish tinge to it in the light.

"Where do… I sleep?"

He grinned "In Murdoc's Winnebago." He laughed at the expression on my face "C'mon, I wouldn't do dat to anyone. It'd be worse 'ven hell. Ya be sleepin' in my room. Noodle offered but 'er room is cluttered wiv' God knows what. She's bin' tryin' to make a racecar. 'nd Russ is outta da question cuz' I dun' wanna wake 'im up 'nd 'vere is food all ov'a da place."

"Oh, O.K." We entered his room. I expected it to be messy but it was reasonably clean. Another problem rose up. 2D, being the bachelor he loves to be (I think) had only a single bed. Thoughts of sleeping next to him were wonderful… But I couldn't.

"I'll be sleepin' on da floor." 2D interrupted my thinking (I don't do that very often). He was laying out a mattress on the floor. He looked pretty tired, with heavy bags under his eyes.

"I don't want to invade your personal space. I don't mind sleeping on the floor. I do it most of the time anyway."

He smiled that oh so cute smile of his "Nah, I wanna sleep on da floor anyways." I shrugged; after all, it was his room.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had brought a bag with some of my stuff in it. I must of left it at the park!

"2D, I think I left my bag at the park."

"Nah, I picked it up but it's still in da car. I'll gets it for ya." He started to the door but I stopped him.

"No. I'll go."

"Ya sure ya won't gets lost?"

It felt so nice that he cared "I know this place like that back of my hand." I raised my hand. It had some writing on it that I didn't even know was there "What's that?" I murmured. 2D raised his eyebrow. It was sooooo cute! I could have died right there and then and not even cared!

"Awright, ya can go but be careful."

I smiled "Thanks." He turned around to continue fixing up the mattress on the floor. Then, I just caught a glimpse of him taking his shirt off (drool)…

I left the room, walked past Murdoc's Winnebago and up a flight of stairs.

Soon I reached the lobby and stepped outside. The Sun was even higher now and the sky was a lovely pink. I love pink shifty eyes. Once I managed to shift my view from the sky (PINK SKY), I opened 2D's car. My bag was in the backseat. I lifted it up, it wasn't that heavy, but since I was tired it seemed to be. I heaved it onto my shoulder and hurried back to 2D's room.

Being the stupid person I was, I started to run. And being the clumsy person I was, I didn't see where I was going. I rammed into someone and fell over, flat on my face.

I wiped my hair from my eyes "Oh, dude, I'm sorry…" I said. Then I looked up and gulped. I had run into Murdoc (he was wearing more than underwear since he usually walks around in them anyway… A good or bad thing? . . ). He had fallen over too and stared angrily at me.

"Who the F. are you?" he tried to say calmly, as he got up, although it was easy to hear the irritation in his voice.

"Um…" I stood up "I'm Samantha." I tried to sound polite, but it wasn't easy when you're the kind who, speaks sloppy like and curses a lot.

He grunted "Whatever. Just watch where you're goin'." He pushed past me. I honestly felt like smacking him one but… Hey, what can I say? I love the guy. I just wanna give him a back-breaking hug! Anyways, I gots myself up and picked up my bag. This time, I was smart enough to walk the rest of the way.

I opened 2D's door and the lights were off. I guessed he was tired. I crept into 2D's on suite bathroom (fancy) and closed the door. I switched the bathroom lights on and changed into my PJ's. They were sheepy ones with black and white sheep on a purple/pinky (PINK) background. Yes, I know, I'm sad.

I exited the bathroom and put my bag down somewhere. I didn't see where I put it because… It was dark (No! Really?) I had no idea where… Or what I was stepping on. I heard a soft squeak as I squished something… I looked down. I saw the outline of a soft squishy toy. I hopped over it and tripped. I landed hard on my knees making a loud thud. But why did it sound muffled? I had landed on a blanket. Phew, I thought… Then a lamp flickered on…

Ooh! Getting freaky! Dun dun duuun. OK please please please review. I don't usually leave notes on my stories but I wanted to show you my pet dragon, Bob…
