Chapter 2: 2D
"Yes! I finally finished the lyrics!" 2D screamed with delight. "It's taken me forever to finish it!" He beamed. "Well, maybe if you weren't so busy with your nails you would have finished it a long time ago." Murdoc teased. "Well, maybe if you didn't screw people all day then maybe you wouldn't be accused of rape!" 2D shot back. "Piss off!" Murdoc yelled, punching 2D hard in the temple. "Wot the hell?" 2D screeched. "Oh, and I'm not accused of rape, I'm accused of intense stripping." Murdoc said, posing in a rather provocative form in the doorway. "Not much better…" 2D moaned.
The next day, 2D went for a walk. "Finally, someone let me outta my cage, now time for me is nuffin 'cos I'm countin' no age…" 2D mumbled. A perfect day; his iPod hanging from his pocket, seventy degrees outside, Gorillaz music blaring through the earphones… It didn't get any better than this. Unless Noodle came to walk with him. But the day could come beck to bite him in the arse if Murdoc decided to come and walk with him. 2D looked up; dark clouds. Great. Rain. He turned and started home.
The music was blaring (as usual), Murdoc was stripping and Russel was singing "Barbie Girl" at the top of his lungs. "Wot the hell are you singing?" 2D asked in utter shock. "Barbie Girl." Murdoc said, positively elated. "I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world! My life's fantastic 'cause my boobs are plastic!" Russel boomed. "Wot the bloody hell." 2D said slowly. "You can brush my hair! And touch me anywhere! Imagination, life is you creation!" Russel finished. "Shut up, shut up, shut up!" 2D screamed, grabbing at his ears. "Nah. Havin' too much fun." Murdoc said, as if he were a five year old visiting Chuck-E-Cheese's for the first time. 2D had just about enough of the horrific sight before him in the last three minutes and flicked the boom box off. "Hey, man! I was listenin' to that!" Russel protested. "Well, too bad!" 2D yelled. As 2D attempted to escape, Murdoc's shirt hit him. "Okay, I'm leavin' before any more of his clothes come off. I wont his pants to stay on." He hurried out of the room. "Russel's prob'ly drunk, he would never sing 'Barbie Girl'…" 2D mumbled to himself.
As 2D readied to leave the house once more, he ran into Noodle in the hallway. "'Ello, Noodle" he said awkwardly. "Oh. Hi, 2D-kun." She responded. A vague memory resurfaced in 2D's mind. Him and Noodle… "2D please, don't stop… Ohhhh…" A laugh. "I won't… Ah…" The rest of the memory was blurred. He really couldn't remember the rest. "2D-kun? Are you okay?" Noodle asked, sounding distant. "Yeah, luv. I'm fine." He said, managing a small smile. "2D, you don't look good. Maybe you should sit down." Noodle suggested worriedly. "No. no. I'm fine Noods, really, I am." He assured her. "Okay." She said, giving his hand a light squeeze, leaving him alone in the hallway again.
2D finally left the house, off to the store for some essential band needs; new drumsticks for Russel mainly. He walked to the car, only t find it locked. "Crap…" He mumbled. He dug around in his pockets, found the key, and headed off to the store. He ended up getting a small box of condoms for Murdoc and a pastry for Noodle. He got in the car and tried to start it, but it wouldn't. A metallic click sounded from behind. He turned to see a man walking closer, wrapped in a dark trench coat and a hat. "Hey, can you 'elp me? My car won't start, I got jumper cables." The man remained silent, walking closer to 2D. "Hello?" 2D asked again. The man reached out a hand from his pocket, revealing a knife. Before 2D could protest, the knife was dug into his chest, twisted and deep. The man dropped the weapon and ran, leaving the singer on the parking lot ground. Left for dead. 2D.
