(A/N: I'm back bitches! :D The beach was actually pretty fun. The whole way there I was listening to "Plastic Beach" of course! Not just the song but the whole album. :P Let me just tell you I don't tan well. D: My legs got burnt but my back and stomach are pretty tan. So are my arms and shoulders. Didn't find as many sharks teeth as I normally do though. Wah! My brother just turned 2 yesterday! :D That's kind of why we went to the beach, for his birthday. We stayed at my grand parents beach house. Bleh. The beach waters nasty though 'cause two years ago when we went for the summer a turd floated up beside me in the water. I'm not even shitting you! And that wasn't suposed to be a pun. lol. We also went to go see "How to Train your Dragon". It was really good. But enought of my chit-chat. About this chapter, I'm getting back to the main story of Gorillaz. There'll probably be about 2 to 4 chapters left of this and I'll most likely get it done within the week. Because honestly I'm itching to start posting "All we are is Stars"! I think it'll be better than "It's the Dawn, you'll see". Le Gasp. Yeah, I know. Bold statement. Well enjoy this chapter! Oh and that whole, "this will get posted within the week thing" isn't certain beacuse I might be going to spend sometime with my friends. :P SORRY!)
Chapter Twelve
March turned to April and April turned to May.
Life was great.
It honestly and truly was.
I had 2-D and Noodle and Russel and, yes, even Murdoc. I had Bailey too.
Life couldn't get any better.
Maybe for someone else but not me because my life was already as great as it could get.
"Alrigh' you lot. The CD's comin' out today an' we 'ave to go down to that Aqua Music Shop an' do autograph's. SO NO SCREWIN' AROUN'!" Murdoc was saying to the band. He looks over at me and scowls. "You' comin' too." He says.
"Me?" I ask, pointing to myself.
He does that old face-palm thing and growls. "Noooooo. The otha' idiot behind you." He replies sarcasticaly, rolling his eyes.
" 'Ey. I fought the CD wosn' comin out fo' anotha' month anyways." I say.
"It wasn't but Murdoc made some arangements so that it came out earlier." Noodle put in.
I oooh'd and noded my head. "Okay. I gotcha'."
Murdoc hearded us out the door to the car park as we walked 2-D grabed my hand and gave it a squeeze.
"You can sit beside me when we sign autographs." He says, giving me a cheesy smile. "I don' care what Mudds has ta say abou' it." He adds.
I smile back. "You shua'? " I ask.
"Shua' as eva'." He replies, giving me a kiss.
Noodle gags playfully behind us and Russel chuckles.
"Oh you two fink you' sooooo funny." I laugh.
2-D gives me another kiss and looks back at them and smiles.
"We only do it 'cause we love you." Noodle says.
I smile and look down embarresed. "I love you guys too. You' my family." I say.
2-D makes that 'awwww' sound and hugs me, sticking his head in the nape of my neck.
Russel and Noodle make that 'aaaaw' sound too and join in on the hug.
" 'Ey. This wosn' supposed ta be a group hug!" 2-D laughs.
They laugh too.
When they let go of me I suck in a deep breath. "Couldn'.....breath." I explain when they give me a strange look.
Russel pats my back and laughs. "Sorry 'bout that." He says.
Noodle wraps her arm around mine and grins. "So in the family what am I?" She asks.
2-D grins too and wraps his arm around my waist. "An' me. Wot am I?" He asks.
I look at the both of them evenly and smile. "Well, Noodle, you'd be my little sister and 2-D.....hmmmm, I guess you'd be.........the dog?" I shrug my shoulders.
"Tha dog?! 'Ow am I tha dog?!" He asks with a dramatic swish of his wrist.
I shrug again and ignore Noodle's insane laughing. "Well, to Russel and Murdoc you'd be tha lil' brotha' an' ta Nood's you'd be tha big brotha' bu' ta me.......you' the one I love mos' in tha worl'. No.....I don' love a dog tha' mos......it's jus' I don' believe in tha whole marrying thing so I wouldn' say you'd be like my husban'. Marriage ruines relationships. Tha's wot I fink anyways." I say.
2-D nods and smiles. "Yeah. Tha's wot I fink to. My mum an' dad ah still togeth'a bu' mos' married couples don' last. Ya' know, 'cause of cheatin' an' stuff. I don' ge' tha'." He says.
"Get wot?" I ask.
"Cheatin'. I mean, if you don' wanna' be with the same pe'son anymo'e than why no' jus' break up wif 'em or somfink." He replies as we get into the Geep.
Murdoc sat in the drivers seat and Russel in the passenger seat. I sat in the middle in the back seat and 2-D and Noodle sat on either side of me.
"It'd be a lo' easie'a tha' way. Instead of sneakin' off ta go see someone else, ya know?" He adds.
"You' righ' thea." I say, leaning into him as we drive to the music shop.
When we got there the place was packed. People were standing outside waiting to get in. Some had even brough lawn chairs with them to sit in.
"Wow. This is crazy." I say looking around as we get out of the Geep.
2-D holds my hand and looks around too.
"Jus' wait until we get inside." Murdoc says from behind us and gives out a laugh. "An' you migh' wanna keep a tight 'old on Sky. Jus' in case those fans of yours try ta get 'er." He adds.
I let out a wimper and grab onto 2-D with both arms. He holds me against him as we walk.
"Don' worry. No ones gonna' get ya. I'll make shua of tha'. Mudd's is jus' bein' mean." He says.
"M'kay." I mumble.
Noodle holds onto my other arm as we walk in and Russel walks behind us, looking menacing.
People gasp and point and clear a path as we walk in.
Roderick was working today and he looked stressed.
"Azura?! Is that you! By gosh it is! It's been forever! How have you been?!" He smiles widely at me as we walk up to the counter.
I smile and look at my family. "I've been fantastic." I reply.
He looks at them too and then at me and 2-D and his friendly smile turns into a sly one. "Ah. I see. Well, you four are signing autographs, right? The signing table's over there.'' He says pointing to the back of the store where all the people are leading to.
2-D smiles and waves to him as we walk towards the table. "Fanks mate." He yells over his shoulder.
Getting to the table 2-D pulls out my chair for me and I sit down in between him and Noodle.
I pull out my mp3 player and stick my headphones in my ears and turn it on, letting Gorillaz do what they do.
I flip through the artist to Royksopp and turn on 'Remind Me'.
For some reason I could imagine 2-D singing this.
"It's only been a week,
The rush of being home in rapid fading.
Failing to recall,
What I was spending all my time in England.''
Just as it gets past the first two verses a girl with long, waist length, blond hair stops in front of me and smiles.
I take out a earbud and smile back.
"Hello." She says, an American accent leaves her lips.
" 'Ello." I reply, realizing how dreadful my accent is compared to hers. My smile lessen's and I look down embarreseed for the second time today.
"I was just wondering who you are." She says, still smiling.
I look back up and focus on Murdoc.
He gives me that, "Don't you dare" look which I know means don't tell her I'm 2-D's girlfirend, more than that really but still.
"Uuuuh, well you see, I'm....ummm the bands.....uhhhhhh......eeerrrr....-" I'm lost for words and in the corner of my eye I see Murdoc face-palm again.
2-D places his hand on my thigh and smiles at me in that don't worry way.
The song on my player changes to 'Only this Moment' and my heart soars. I smile back at him and now that I think about it my accent isn't all that bad.
He looks at the girl and says politely, "This is Sky. She's the one I love mo'e than anyone o' anyfing. Technically she's my girlfrien' bu' she's definatly mo'e than a frien'." He smiles cheesely at me.
Crap. I can feel my face turning red again and the biggest shit eater grin is on my face.
I look back at the girl and suprisingly she still has a smile on.
"That's sweet. You two are really lucky to have eachother. I'm still looking for that someone though. Bleh. Like anyone would want this though." She says, sticking her tounge out at the last part.
I laugh playfuly and shake my head. "You' really pretty so I don' fink you 'ave anyfing ta worry abou'. You'll fin' someone. You jus' 'ave ta keep lookin'." I say.
She gives me a wide smile and nods. "Thank you. That's really nice of you to say. Uhm, do you think you could sign my CD too? Ah, and make it out to Julia?" She asks nervously.
I look at the rest of the band and they shrug.
Taking Julia's pen I sign the cover and hand it back to and smile.
She smiles back and shakes my hand. "Thank you very much. It was great meeting you all." She says as Noodle signs it.
"Nice meeting you too." I wave.
After she leaves I look over at 2-D and say, "Tha' wos kinda' weird. I fought she's be mad I'm wif you."
"Well tha' world's weird like tha'." He laughs.
Exactly two hours and three minutes later the band was finished signing CD's.
I had ate a whole bag of cheese dorito's and listened to almost all of 'As tall as Lions' songs, even signed a few more autographs which was a surprise.
Getting up from the table 2-D kisses me out of the blue.
"See, wot'd I tell you? Noone wos gonna get you while I wos aroun'. No' on my watch!" He says produdly.
I laugh and shake my head. "You' such a goof bu' I love ya." I smile.
Noodle does that fake gaging thing again and laughs.
I roll my eyes and chase after her, acidently knocking over the table which luckly only had pens on it.
" 'EY! WATCH IT!" Murdoc yells.
"Chill out Mudd's it was only a table." Russel says, putting it up right again.
I catch Noodle and sit on her, tickling her with no mercy.
She squeals and laughs loudly and pleads for me to stop.
Getting off her smile with triumph.
"Cheater." She says.
"Cheata'?! 'Ow am I a cheata'?" I laugh.
"Your bigger than I am!" She pouts.
"Well you we'a pickin' on me!" I poke her in the forehead and laugh.
She lets out a giggle. "Like I said, I do it 'cause I love you!" She says.
I grab her in a head lock and give her a noggy. "Love ya too." I laugh.
I let go of her and we walk over to the boys.
"So wot's the plan?" I ask.
Murdoc shrugs and replies, "We could go out to eat."
A giant smile apears on Russel's face. "That sounds good." He says.
"Of cou'se it sounds good to you lard ass." Murdoc remarks with a grin.
"Oy Mudds, shut tha' hell up before I bust you in the face again." Russel replies.
2-D snickers at this and Murdoc punches him in the arm.
He groans and rubs the spot where'd he'd been punched.
"Well come on then! Le's go! I'm no' waitin' all day fo' you all!" Murdoc barks storming out the door.
We follow behind him.
I grab 2-D's arm and smile.
"You gonna be alrigh'?" I ask.
He smiles back and nods. "Yeah, I fink so. Don' fink I'm gonna need it took off." He jokes.
Getting into the Geep, Murdoc starts it up and drives down the road to the resturaunt.
Violent, Sarcastic, Big, Small, Goofy, Mindless, and Musical.
That's how you'd describe my family.
