Ummm I never really told ya how old the Gorillaz were in this, did I? Well….Noodle is 19, as you've heard, 2D is 25, Murdoc is 42, and Russel is 30. Yeah, I warped time! XD Yay! My powers! Zzzzzzt! But NO! THE SLEEZE IS BACK! (hisses) I haaaaaaate Paula! Grrrrr but I gotta write! XD And I needed a climax, so here it is! PAULA'S HERE! (Cough,cough,unfortunately,cough,cough)

-Chapter 15-

"Paula! Paula luv I missed ya!" 2D embraced Paula tightly and she did the same. "Noodle, I want ya ta meet my….friend, Paula!"

Noodle stared awkwardly at 'Paula' and reluctantly stuck out her hand. Paula shook it enthusiastically.

"It's a pleasure to meet you…." Noodle mumbled.

"And who's this nice person, 2D baby?" Paula looked up at 2D. He smiled lightly and placed one arm around Noodle. Noodle still looked slightly angry but she looked up at 2D.

"That's m' girlfriend, Noodle. We're engaged and she's pregnant wif my k-"

"PREGNANT!" Paula's eyes widened and she stepped back.

"Yeah, she is." 2D gazed at Paula confusedly. Paula pointed a shaking finger at Noodle.

"I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST FAT!"

"Nah, that's Russ's job." Murdoc received a glare from Russel, which caused the Satanist to burst out laughing, making Russel sigh in frustration.

"Aren't you going to say something 2D-san?" Noodle looked at 2D, who hadn't said a word.

"She….didn't…know?" 2D scratched the back of his neck nervously and Noodle let out an infuriated sigh.

"I need ta talk to the Dullard. Russel, you come too." There was still a five minute wait before they got on the plane, so Murdoc grabbed 2D's arm and jerked him aside. Russel scowled at Paula, then joined 2D and Murdoc in their furious conversation. Noodle and Paula stared in confusion. They could hear the three yelling, but couldn't tell what they were saying.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Paula faced Noodle.

"Probably about killing each other, basic stuff like that." Noodle sighed.

"Uhhhuhhhh……Do you hate me?" Paula questioned. Noodle's mind automatically was screaming 'YES! YES! YES!'

"Of course not!" Noodle lied, her mind shouting to her the truth.

"You kinda seem like you do. Is it because of what I did to him NINE years ago? Because trust me hun, I'm gonna do it again." Paula leered at Noodle and then they both noticed that Murdoc, 2D, and Russel were coming back. Paula smiled her cheap Barbie doll smile again. She hugged 2D once more and looked up at him. "So Stuart, what did you guys talk about?"

2D gulped as he noticed Murdoc scowling at him.

"Ummmm nothin. Murdoc jus' said some stuff." 2D glanced over at Murdoc again. He was still glaring at Paula and 2D.

"Come on, we're going ta miss our Bloody fuckin plane." Murdoc walked onto the platform leading to the plane and 2D looked down at Paula.

"Well luv. It's been nice seein' ya." 2D kissed Paula on the cheek and Noodle tightened her fists. She DEFINITELY needed to talk to 2D about this whole mess. Paula kissed 2D also, hers an unreturned kiss on the lips. "Bye Paula." 2D waved, then took Noodle's hand and walked onto the plane. They sat down in the seats that their tickets had placed them in. Noodle was seated in the isle seat, and 2D was in the middle. Beside him would be some random person that they'd probably never even met before, and probably never would meet again.

Almost at once, 2D noticed that something was wrong with Noodle.

"Awwww luv. Wot's wrong?" 2D kissed her and she turned away stubbornly. "Noodle….this isn't about Paula is it?"

"…just…leave me alone 2D….." Noodle muttered. 2D placed a hand on her face, and was surprised when she didn't push him away. He carefully made her face him and he kissed her lips. They both closed their eyes and when 2D finally pulled away, he moved her hair from in front of her eyes and smiled.

"Noodle, luv. You mean tha world ta me….no one else is better." He kissed her again and they kept it locked until a sudden voice made them look up.

"Hi 2D! What a coincidence! I have the seat right next to yours!" Paula took her seat next to 2D. And Noodle moved away from him instantly.

"You're on this plane!" Noodle asked, slightly showing her anger.

"Yes." Paula replied austerely, and then faced 2D again. Suddenly someone else came up to their seats.

"Ummmm miss? You're in my spot." A man with short brown hair wearing a suit pointed at Paula.

"GO SIT OVER THERE!" Paula shouted, pointing to a nearby seat beside some guy with freakishly wrinkled lips. The weirdly lipped man waved at the four and the other man shuddered.

"Ummm….this is MY seat. My ticket says so and I kinda just wanna sit down right now, in my seat, because I really don't wanna make anyone mad or ups-" he noticed Paula wasn't even listening anymore and sighed. He looked over at where she had instructed him to sit, and the man with the withered up lips pat the seat beside him. "great….." he finally gave up, and sat down.

"So….2D baby, what's been going on when I was gone?" Paula asked nervously. For all she knew, the child that that other girl was pregnant with could be the second, or third!

"Uhhhh….a couple of albums, a whole bunch of concerts, tours, me and Noodle bein' together…and….uhhh that's really it." 2D smiled lightly.

"And did you forget about me?" Paula stroked 2D's trailed her finger across 2D's chest and looked up at him.

"Of course not luv! I would never forget ya! But I can't be in love wif ya anymore…I mean, I'm engaged wif Noodle and all….and we're 'appy together….and-" 2D was interrupted as a loud speaker came on.

"Please buckle your seatbelts until we are safely in the air, and turn off all electrical devices including cell phones, pagers, portable game systems, and CD players until we tell you it is safe to do otherwise. And even when it is safe to turn all other items back on, we advise you to keep cell phones and pagers off. We ask you to refrain from getting up until we are firmly airborne and take notice of the fact that, incase of an emergency, there are guides nearby to instruct what to do. Thank you and we hope you have an enjoyable trip."

There were a few small beeps and clicks as people nearby turned off their cell phones and buckled their seatbelts, and 2D made sure that his Motorola phone was off. The plane jerked forward, and took started to move. 2D's grip tightened on Noodle's hand, since they both had their hands on the same armrest, and Noodle looked over at him. 2D's face was a bit pale, and he looked slightly scared. Just then, Noodle remembered that he really didn't like planes too much, or at least takeoff. 2D already had migraine problems, so the pain in his head didn't help right now. Noodle sighed reluctantly, and kissed 2D on the cheek.

"2D-san, it's okay." She smiled lightly and he nodded. She kissed him again, and then held his hand with the hand that wasn't trapped under his. 2D finally relaxed once more after the plane was off the ground and everyone clapped lightly. 2D never knew why exactly people clapped, there was still a whole flight that they had to sit through, but 2D never really cared to ask. But now after their clapping, there was bored silence.

The loud speaker came back on after a few minutes, and everyone started to move again. CD players and ipods were turned on and 2D could hear the faint beat of some song.

He could clearly pick out the trumpet to their song 'Rock the House' and smiled. Good to know that people still listened to their old songs. Oddly enough they'd been a band for nine years, and they still were performing live. Oh well, it made a good career. Music. Being a vocalist and keyboardist was nice. And if it wasn't for Gorillaz, he would probably never have met Noodle. And Noodle had lifted him out of that depression he'd had after he'd caught Paula cheating on him. With Murdoc. Thankfully he hadn't seen it. But Russel had told him, and had punched Murdoc in the nose HARD. Breaking it in eight places and who even knew a nose had eight places to break? But it did. And left what you see today. Now 2D was just rambling in his mind while Paula and Noodle secretly fought over him.

Paula would get up against 2D's chest and Noodle would take 2D's hand.

Murdoc stared in disbelief from his nearby seat and wondered how in the world 2D could not notice Noodle and Paula. Murdoc got up as a fair looking flight attendant walked by. He wasn't about to let this plane trip be a boring one.

Russel zoned out while listening to his CD player. Some old hip hop song. He sighed as he noticed Murdoc flirting with a flight attendant. Typical Murdoc. Speaking of 'typical Murdoc' Russel didn't even want to know what would happen when Noodle and 2D's kid came. Oh God! He knew that the ill-tempered Satanist would go back to his mean ways in an instant. Russel had already confronted him, saying that he'd better be nice to Noodle and not torture 2D too much. So far he'd done well on being nice to Noodle. But that would all go away after Noodle's kid came. The baby probably would be constantly waking EVERYONE up and Russel knew that the 'nice Murdoc' wouldn't last through two seconds of that. Or one.

2D had fallen asleep after only one hour of being in the plane. Noodle was leaning against him, her also sleeping, and Paula had given up on getting 2D to notice her. So she had occupied herself by reading some snooty magazine instead.

-Seven Hours Later-

Noodle woke up to someone shaking her lightly. She opened her eyes tiredly.

"…huh?" She looked up to see 2D.

"Ey luv, we kinda fell asleep. Tha plane landed. We're in LA." He smiled and Noodle could hear the excitement in his voice. She smiled and 2D helped her up. She'd put on twenty pounds in her pregnancy, and all that wasn't easy to stand up with! Noodle then noticed that Paula wasn't there anymore.

"Ummm What happened to that other girl?" Noodle asked, although relieved that she was gone.

"Oh, Paula? She's waiting in tha airport. Along wif Murdoc and Russel." 2D informed her. 'Damnit!' Noodle thought. She'd hoped that Paula had left for good

"Well, we better not keep Murdoc and Russel-san waiting." She took what little stuff she'd brought on the plane and took 2D's hand. They both walked out of the plane and into the terminal. Murdoc was waiting impatiently and Russel smiled as Noodle and 2D came.

"Well you two sure took your fuckin time." Murdoc growled. "We already have a cab waiting so let's hurry up and get our Bloody luggage."

The five (stinkin Paula) walked into the baggage claim and began a VERY difficult part in traveling. Getting your stuff back from the dreaded carousel of suitcases. Murdoc quickly found his luggage, as did Russel and Noodle. Paula hadn't brought much; all of it was carry on. 2D took about ten minutes, which would have been more if Murdoc hadn't ill-temperedly helped him, and soon they were heading for their cab. They would all need two cabs to carry all five of them. Paula, Murdoc, and Russel would be in one, while 2D and Noodle took another taxi together. When they would arrive at the hotel, they would each get their own separate rooms.

2D helped Noodle into the cab and got in as well. He sat down and kissed Noodle lightly. She smiled softly and did the same. She leaned her head against 2D's chest and he placed his hand on her stomach.

"Where to?" the cab driver asked, glancing back in the rearview mirror.

"Ummmm to tha…." 2D took out the hotel address that they'd been given. "Umm tha Bemount 'otel."

"You two not from here?" the cab driver turned to face them.

"Uhhuh We're from England." 2D replied, smiling his gapped smile.

"Yeah I could tell. Ya got that accent." He turned to face the steering wheel again. "Plus you two are a cute couple. Most couples round here are all grubby." He started up the cab and started driving.

"Ummm thank you sir?" Noodle didn't know if that was meaning to be a compliment or an insult to LA.

"Ya welcome. So, you two expectin a kid?" The taxi driver questioned, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Yup. In two months or less." 2D answered, moving his hand slightly. Noodle quickly kissed him again on the neck, since she was leaning against him.

"Well congrats. And good luck." He stopped the cab. "Well, we're here. Bemount hotel."

2D got out of the taxi and opened the cab door for Noodle. She thanked him and got out also. 2D payed the driver with a bit of the little amount of American dollars that he'd received and Noodle shivered slightly at how cold it was outside. It was early January, and the air outside was quite bitter. 2D noticed Noodle's trembling and took of his jacket. He draped it over her shoulders and she looked over at him.

"Aren't you cold, 2D-san?"

"Nah, it's colder in Essex anyway. I'm used ta it." 2D replied although he was actually FREEZING. "Besides, you have tha kid. You need ta stay warm." He took her hand and led her to the hotel entrance. On the door of the hotel was a sign that in big gold letters read 'The Bemount Hotel' in cursive. 2D opened the large door and Noodle walked inside. 2D shut the door behind him as he walked in also.

The lobby was beautifully furnished and decorated. It even had an elaborate fountain in the middle. The two couldn't help but be impressed.

Murdoc and Russel were already beside the front desk. Murdoc was talking to the receptionist and Russel waited beside him calmly. Noodle and 2D joined them and Murdoc handed them two separate keys.

"Ya rooms are rooms sixty-two and sixty-three. Russel, your room is room sixty-seven." He handed Russel a key also. "If any of you lot need me, I'll be in room sixty-six. We're all on the sixth floor. So get ya stuff and let's go." Murdoc trudged in the direction of the elevator and the three followed.

"Murdoc, wot 'appened to Paula?" 2D questioned, looking confusedly at Murdoc.

"She's stayin in some other room. FAR away." Murdoc could see Noodle smile slightly and he smirked also.

"Oh." 2D frowned a bit and Murdoc pressed the button for the elevator. The silvery doors opened to reveal a big area. Big enough to fit all four of them and standing inside was, you guessed it, Paula.

"I thought you got rid of her, Murdoc!" Noodle couldn't help but sound aggravated.

"Now, now Pasta, that wasn't very nice." Paula sneered.

"Her name's Noodle! And Paula, I told you ta GET LOST!" Murdoc snapped.

"I was heading down to the spa. Is it my fault that I happened to stumbled upon you four?" Paula leered at Murdoc and he glared at her fiercely. Paula stepped out of the elevator and around Murdoc, both still holding a furious stare. Paula finally walked away and Murdoc pressed the button to the next elevator.

"Murdoc, why aren't ya gonna take this elevator? It's already 'ere." 2D looked at Murdoc confusedly.

"Cause she was in it." Murdoc growled. He stepped into the new elevator and held it open. "Anyone else?"

Noodle stepped into the elevator beside Murdoc and Russel followed. Murdoc moved his hand from the door and pressed the button for the sixth floor. The silver doors closed, leaving 2D as the only one to take the elevator that Paula had been on.

Hehehe they all refused ta go on the CONTAMINATED elevator hehe. Well, that was chappie 15! WOOP! Hope ya review if ya liked it! Well, see ya'll soooooooon! (Flies off in self-made rocket) Wish me luck on my journey to Mars! WEEEEEEE! And hehehe Murdoc wanted the room 66 on the 6th floor. I did that on purpose! Hehe
