Angel woke up the next morning to screaming. " What's going on?" Angel said sleepily. " You are in MY room" said a voice with an accent. " wait a minute, Noodle?" " You know my name?" the voice said. Angel sat up and saw Noodle, alive, but bruised badly. Her black and white stripped shirt was torn in many places, her brown shorts had ten holes in them, and her shoes, were missing. " WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DI D YOU GET HERE!" " I guess I should tell you then" "TELL ME WHAT? THAT YOU HAVE INTRUDED INTO MY ROOM, THAT YOU'VE SNUCK INTO KONG, AND THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY ONE OF MURDOC'S GROUPIES WHO HAS NO RIGHT IN MY ROOM!" " calm down, I'm not here to cause a fight, I promise. Give me a chance to prove it too you, and keep your voice down, the guys are sleeping because they're extremely tired." Noodle just stared at me like I was Cerberus. " How about you sit down and I'll tell you the reason I am here. My name is Angel, but I prefer to be called Angie. The band decided that you were dead, and wouldn't come back so after 4 months they decided to replace you in the band. They chose me and let me have your room, but seeing as you are here, you can have your place back in the band and you can have your room back. I felt really guilty about taking your place" Angel said. Noodle just smiled and hugged her. " How about you stay in my room with me? You are more then welcome here, seeing as you told me the whole story , and I know when people are lying and you weren't lying." Noodle said smiling. " They never forgot you , you know" Angel said " They told me that nothing and no one could take your place in their hearts". Noodle smiled but winced in pain. " Let me help you Noodle" Angel said. " How do you expect to do that?" " I have these powers, I am a vampire and I can heal you if you want me to" " could you?" " yes, now lay down" Angel healed Noodle's wounds and then helped her up. " Now why don't you go alert the band that your back and I'll put your stuff back the way you had it in your room" " Thank you, Angie-san". With that Noodle ran out of the room and went to each of the band member's rooms. Angel went out of the room to hear all the members yell in delight to have their little sister back. Angel went into the kitchen to see Russel, 2D and even Murdoc smiling. Noodle just felt happy to be back with her family. "Angie-san, I've spoke with the band, they told me the same story you told me, and Murdoc has decided to let you stay and to let you do back-up guitar for the band!" " Really?" " Yes" " Thank you, all of you." " Don't mention it Angie-san, Murdoc-san said it would be a pleasure to have you here" Noodle said smiling. " Noodle told us that you are a vampire?" " Yes, I am. I don't remember my parents, and I've gone from foster family to foster family. All I know, is that I have these psychic and healing powers" Angie said truthfully. " There's no way you're a vampire" Murdoc said " Yea and there's no way you could have created a band with both hands behind your back" Angie said with so much venom in her words, that the others felt like flinching. Before Murdoc could make a come back, Angel left the kitchen with Noodle following her. " Hey Angie-san, don't take Murdoc seriously" " Don't worry, I won't. Hey you want to play a video game?" " yes what video game?" " do you mind if we play Pokemon Stadium 2? I'm kinda in the mood to play that game to numb my mind" " Yes, sure, I love that game!" Angel just smiled and went into Noodle and her room.
5 Hours later
" Hey no fair Angie-san, you know my Houndoom is weak against water!" Noodle said laughing. " Tough luck Noodle, its not my fault Murdoc is stronger" Angel said. At that moment Murdoc, Russel , and 2D came in to see what was going on. " You named a poke- whatever its called, after me?" Murdoc said annoyed. Angel turned around and said simply " Yes" and then faced the television again. "Hey Noodle, do you mind if we play The Sims, that way we all can play?" " no not at all" Noodle said getting up and taking the three extra controllers and plugged them in and changed the game. Everyone made up their own characters and then started the game. Angel had her character constantly flirt with Murdoc's just to annoy him, which she had succeeded. " WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT!" " No because its annoying you". Murdoc just growled and then went to 2D's character and intimidated him to no end. Angel made her character sneak into Murdoc's character's room and had changed the inverted cross to a regular cross and had alternated everything while Murdoc left the room to use the bathroom. " What's his problem? Did he not get laid yet this week?" " Try him not getting laid for 4 months" " Damn, that's a long time" " Yea tell me about it". Both Angel and Russel had shut up because Murdoc came back in. After a few more hours of playing games, Angel decided to treat the band to some pizza. " It's my way of thanking you, for letting me into the band, for giving me a place to stay, for being my friends even thought I've known you for a day, and to celebrate Noodle's return" Angel said smiling while Noodle laughed. " You don't have to do this Angie- san" " I know, but I WANT to" Angel said smiling. Everyone ordered everything they wanted and Angel couldn't help but notice Murdoc staring at her constantly. " What is your problem Murdoc? Can't you leave me alone so that I don't have to look at your ugly green face again?" Angel said spitting so much venom in her words, that she could've sworn that Murdoc flinched. "Good job Angie, you told Murdoc off, its good to know that someone can hold their own against him" Russel said smiling. " I don't take crap from anyone, especially the supposed 'leader' of the Gorillaz" Angel said nicely. " So do you have a religion Angie-san?" Noodle asked. " Actually, no I don't. I'm an Atheist." "So you don't believe in God or Satan?" " No Noodle, I don't, but apparently Murdoc worships Satan" " How'd you figure that one out?" Murdoc interrupted. " By the inverted cross on your shirt that's how." Angie said apparently getting angrier by the second at Murdoc. " Well if you guys don't mind, I'm going to go to bed now, Noodle, seeing as it is your room, you can play video games all you want, I'm a heavy sleeper so don't worry about waking me up" Angel said watching Noodle's face light up at the mention of video games. Angel laughed and walked to Noodle's room with Noodle on her trail. Angel opened the door to Noodle's room when a monkey ran out of the room. " MIKE!" Noodle exclaimed happily. " I take it he's yours?" Angel said laughing. " Yep, he's mine, he says you're cool and that he thanks you for healing me" " Tell him no problem" Angel said walking into the room and getting changed in black pajama pants and a black tank top. " Good night Noodle" " Good night Angie-san". Angel went to bed and fell into a dreamless sleep until Noodle started screaming at 3:30 in the morning.
"Noodle, wake up Noodle" Angel said trying her best to wake up a screaming Noodle. After 20 minutes of trying Noodle woke up. " Noodle, what's wrong?" " I saw that day, the day I got shot out of the sky on my floating windmill island. It was so horrible, I thought I was going to die." " It's ok Noodle, you're safe now, don't worry, the guys won't let anything happen to you, and neither will I." Angel said comforting Noodle. " Thank you Angie-san" " Anytime Noodle, now go back to sleep." " I can't, I'm to scared" "I'll sing you a song that my mother used to sing to me as a child, it's the only song I can remember her singing to me" " ok thank you". Angel started singing 'Once Upon A December' to Noodle :
Dancing
bears, painted wings, things I almost remember
And a song ,
someone sings, once upon December
Someone holds me safe and
warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing
gracefully across my memory
Far away , long ago
Glowing dim
as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon a
December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses
prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully across my
memory
Far away , long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things
my heart used to know
Things it used to remember
And a song,
someone sings
Once upon a December
Angel stopped singing to see that Noodle was asleep peacefully. Angel smiled and tucked her in and walked to the kitchen. " I heard you singing to Noodle". Angel turned to see 2D sitting there with a smile on his face. " It was a song that my mother sung to me so that I could sleep at night" " It's very pretty" " yes I know" " you sing beautifully" " thank you. Why, might I ask, are you up so early?" " I heard Noodle screaming" " Oh, well, no worries, she's calm now" " That's good". Angel nodded and walked out onto the balcony to watch the sun rise. " I thought vampires hated the sunlight?" " I've learned to manipulate the light so that I don't burn" Angel said smiling. At that moment Russel walked in to get food. " D, I hope you told Angie that she's staying here with Murdoc all day" " I fo'got". Russ just laughed and explained to Angie the plan. " Look I'm sorry we're sticking you here with Murdoc all day, but D and I want to hang out with Noodle without Murdoc making rude comments and stuff like that" " Hey its no big deal, I can deal with him" Angel said. Sadly though, Murdoc did NOT like that idea one bit. " THERE IS NO WAY IN SATAN'S HELL I'M STAYING HERE WITH THAT THING!" Murdoc's screams could be heard from the carpark. Murdoc and Russel walked in. " Murdoc, I just want to let you know, that I'm not looking forward to this one bit, so how about we stay out of each other's way, ok?" " sounds good to me" Murdoc said. Angel just sighed and went into the living room to play Devil May Cry 3, to her, it was a way to relive stress. After 20 minutes of playing, Murdoc came into the room to find out what she was doing. " I thought we agreed to leave each other alone?" " we did, but I wanted to see what it is that you are playing" "well in that case, sit down and watch me play Devil May Cry 3" Angel said never taking her eyes off the television. Angel could tell Murdoc was enjoying watching the game, so she decided to let him play. " All you need to do, is kill the demons and get those red things, they help you increase abilities and buy items" Angel said making sure Murdoc was paying attention. " Angie-san, we're leaving. Will you be alright here with Murdoc-san?" " Yes Noodle, I'll be fine, don't worry, now go have fun with the 2D and Russel." Angel said smiling. Noodle just nodded and ran to 2D and Russel, who smiled and waved good-bye to Angel and Murdoc. Angel sat and watched Murdoc play, he was really good, considering he just played it today. " I'm going to go get something to drink, you want anything?" " no ". Angel just smiled and walked into the kitchen and got something to drink for her and Murdoc. They seemed to be getting along when 2D, Russel, and Noodle came back, which was good because it assured them that the place hadn't been blown up or that one of them hadn't been killed. " No Murdoc don't use Cerberus on this thing!" " will ya shut the 'ell up? I know what I'm doing!" Noodle laughed at the scene before her. "You know, you remind me of a mix of Dante and his brother Vergil" " Oh really now?" " yes, you're a cocky, arrogant , man and your also very cold and distant to people!" . Noodle just burst out laughing and agreed with what Angel had told Murdoc. " Ah, to 'ell with ya Angel" " I told you not to call me that". 2D and Russ just grabbed Noodle and took her to 2D's room so that she didn't have to witness the fight that would evidently take place. Angel just decided it was best that she left, seeing as she had enough with Murdoc's hostile attitude , so she left Kong in her hummer, but leaving her stuff at Kong and her cell number, so that they thought she would come back or call her. The truth was, she didn't know if she was going to come back, but she wouldn't mind talking to them again.
