Chapter 4: Not good
The red digits of the clock showed it was 6 in the morning. It was second time the Romanian girl looked at clock with boredom. 'That's it! I can't even sleep! What's the matter with me! I never had sleeping problems!' thought Maya, staring at the Japanese-styled ceiling. After a few more minutes of meditating over the sleep problem, she stood up from her bed and went to the door, gently watching her movements, not to wake the sleepy axe princess.
As she went down the hall, in her red nightdress, she pondered.
'I hate night like these, when everything's peaceful, but I can't get any shut-eye.'
She said to herself while entering the kitchen. Closing the door, she sat herself on a chair and stared at the clock, hanging from a wall. 'Six in the morning. Not cool. Noodle said something about that interview starting real early, can't remember..' she thought, scratching her head.
Just then, the door opened, revealing a thin figure that was approaching Maya fast. Scared, Maya turned around to see a cute, blue-haired boy that was smiling at her, but looked in pain.
"'Ello, Maya-luv, wot are you doing 'ere" said 2D, with his long arm on Maya's shoulder.
Maya first blushed, but came into her senses "I couldn't sleep." She said, smiling back at the black-eyed boy. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I woke up with a bit of a headache and my pills where missing." He said, rubbing the back oh his head.
"Oh, I think I saw some pills around here somewhere.." said Maya, searching in the upper cupboard. "And here they are. Extra strong, yeah?"
"Yeah, thanks Maya." Said 2D, reaching for the pain pills. "So, why couldn't you sleep?" he asked, filling a glass with water.
"Dunno. I'm awake from 4. It really sucks." Said Maya, sitting down again.
"Mhmh" said 2D, emptying his glass. "I know the feeling."
"So you got an interview coming up today. I forgot the time." Said Maya staring at the window.
"I think we should be there at 9 a.m. dunno why so early, but I know that we're gonna be back at around 4 p.m.. It's going to be very boring, and I heard that there's gonna be some fan girls there, posing with us."
Maya blinked, and thought about the fan girls. Her thought were interrupted by 2D's voice.
"You could come too if you want. You could help Noodle with her makeup. What do you say, luv?" said 2D with a charming smile.
Maya wondered. 'Yeah I could go, I mean it could be fun. I'll just call Mat tomorrow. It will be fun.'
Maya smiled at the singer. "Yeah, I want to. But i think you'll have to talk it over with the others."
"Others meaning Murdoc. I don't know how he'll react, but the others are just cool." Said 2D, sitting himself next to Maya.
"Ok, so that means you outta wake up at 7, right?" smiled Maya at the vocalist.
"Yeah I guess, why?" said a confused 2D
Maya stood up, excited by the news. "Well I better get started on breakfast!" she practically screamed it out.
"Wow, Maya you don't have to cook for us, luv. You're already helping us with the instruments, supplies, schedules and mail. And you only have to take care of the mail.
Said a grinning 2D.
"Well I'm enjoying it! I never felt happier in my life!" said Maya, grabbing a pan out of the cupboard. "So, pancakes?"
2D smiled at the cheerful Romanian girl "Sure."
After an hour or so, the other band members started to show up. To their surprise, they found their breakfast already made by their sweet Romanian girl, and their band mate eating away one pancake after the other.
"Good morning, Maya-san! 2D-san!" said the cheerful axe princess, staring at her friends.
"Good morning, Noodle. Have a seat, I made pancakes. Hope you like 'em!" said Maya, trying to flip a pancake in the air.
"Good morning Noodle-luv. The pancakes are great. We should pay Maya extra for this." Said 2D swallowing the last peace of pancake. "Another round, please."
Maya smiled at the childishly vocalist and served him another plate.
"Here you go Noodle, eat away." Said Maya giving a plate to Noodle. "Tea?"
"Green, please!" said the excited guitarist while slicing her pancakes.
"Where are the others? They should come down for breakfast. Their gonna be late for their interview." Said Maya with a worried expression.
Noodle giggled "We are always late, but they always forgive us."
Finally, the other band members appeared.
"Morning guys." Said a sleepy Russel "Wow, Maya, you made this, girl?" Maya nodded "Man, we sure are lucky"
"Good morning, Murdoc!" said 2D.
Murdoc only turned his face to look at the happy vocalist, but instead of a 'good morning', he let out, as usual, a grumble.
Maya handed them their plates and served them some coffee. "Boy you guys look tired." Said Maya looking at Russel, who was yawning.
"No, luv, that's just our style. We don't get up at freakin' 7:30 in the morning, unless there's money involved, or breakfast." Said Murdoc, grinning at Maya, who made a teasing face in exchange.
"Ok, guys but we better eat and then you should get ready for the interview." Said Maya, blowing into her tea.
"Oy, guys, can Maya come with us?" said a grinning 2D.
At that moments the others stopped eating. Russel would look up at 2D, Murdoc would look at Maya, and Noodle started to giggle at the expressions on their faces.
"Yay! Maya's coming with us!" said Noodle excited of the news.
"Well, it's ok with me." Said Russel, finishing his pancakes quickly "Maya, you wanna come with us?" he asked the dark eyed girl.
Maya smirked gently and looked at the bassist, who was caught up in his thoughts.
"Only if Murdoc will let me." Said Maya, staring at the bassist, who woke up from his daydreaming and intercepted Russel's serious glare.
He started to stare at the sweet girl. His eyes widened. Suddenly he started to smirk.
"Well, it's fine by me, luv." he said, reaching for his pack of cigarettes. He lit one, and stood up, walking toward the kitchen door. "See you losers later." And with that, he exited the kitchen, leaving behind the blushed Romanian girl.
"Well, we better get ready." Said Russel, standing up "we should stop being late all the time." He said, smiling at the others "see ya in a few" he said, exiting the kitchen.
" Well, I better get ready too. See ya girls later." Said 2D, walking towards the door.
Left alone, the two girls started smiling at each other.
"Well, that was strange." Said Maya, picking the plates and putting them in the dishwasher.
"Not really, Maya-san. They are always like this in the morning. But today was a little different."
"Why's that?" asked Maya, curiously.
"Murdoc-san smiled." Giggled the axe princess.
Maya smiled "Well we better get dressed. Coming?"
"Yes" said Noodle, grabbing Maya's hand.
After awhile, the girls were waiting for the others in the carpark, right next to their car.
Noodle was dressed in a Pikachu T-shirt and pink skirt. Maya was dressed in some hip-huggers black jeans, a black tank-top with a an angel on it and a black leather jacket. Her hair was in a ponytail, revealing her long golden earrings.
"I wonder what's keeping 'em." Said Maya, looking at her wrist watch.
"I don't know." Said Noodle at 2D's door. "I'll see if 2D-san is ready." Said Noodle heading to 2D's room.
'Then I guess, I'll go and see what Murdoc's up to" thought Maya, heading to the bassists Winnebago.
She started to knock on the door. No one answered. She knocked again. Still nothing.
"God, what's keeping that man!" she said.
After a few minutes of waiting for an answer, she entered the Winnebago.
"Hello? Murdoc?" she yelled, but no one answered. She started looking around. She searched in the front and kitchen. No Murdoc.
'I guess he's in his bedroom' she thought, heading into his room. She saw Murdoc, in front of his mirror. Maya smiled gently, seeing the bassist admiring himself. He was wearing a black shirt, with the usual black jeans and black high-heeled shoes. 'Always a charmer.' Maya thought, seeing the bassist reaching for a fag and lighting it. After a while, she finally spoke.
"Lookin' sharp." Said Maya, looking at the bassist and smiling teasingly.
The bassist turned around, surprised by the female voice. He saw a sexy little girl, dressed like for a rock concert. He smirked, his cigar still in his mouth.
"You look lovely." He said, walking around Maya, examining every part of her body.
"Thanks, Muds." She said, walking towards Murdoc, pulling his cigar out of his mouth and putting it into hers. She smiled while inhaling the smoke.
The bassist, smiled devilishly at the girl. "So, you smoke." He said, reaching for his leather jacket.
"Not really, it just calms me down." Inhaling once more.
"Hm . Calming yourself? Why, if I may ask, luv? Asked Murdoc, reaching for another cigar and lighting it up.
"To prepare me for your driving." She said, putting out the cigar. "You didn't think I missed 19/2000, did you now?" she said smirking at the bassist. "Coming?" she continued.
"After you, luv." He said opening the door for Maya.
"Thank you." Said the girl, trying to hide her blushed face.
In the carpark, the others were waiting in the car.
"Finally, you showed up." Said Russel, with a worried voice.
"Oh, keep your pants on. We're going." Said Murdoc opening the front door. "Oy, dullard, you're sitting in the back!" he shouted.
" Aww, Muds!Why?" said the vocalist, disappointed.
"Because I said so. Now move yer arse!" the bassist continued.
Maya sat next to Murdoc, and the others sat in the back.
"Ok, everyone here? Great, let's go!" the bassist said, starting the engine.
In the back, Russel yawned, Noodle secured her seatbelt and 2D was playing with his hair. Maya gulped. Murdoc looked at the terrified girl and smirked.
"Don't worry, luv I'll try not to kill you, this time" he said smiling at the girl.
They left the carpark. On the road, Murdoc tried to reach for a cigar, but had to keep his eye on the road. Maya, observing the scene, reached for a cig and placed it in his mouth, lighting it.
"Thanks, luv." He said smiling at the Romanian girl.
Russel, observing the scene, gave Murdoc a death glare that could be seen clearly.
'Sweet Satan, this is going to be a hell of a day. Good thing this angel's here to keep me company.' He grinned thinking about the lovely girl sitting next to him.
