Note: This is just based on a series of dreams I had. There will be no pairings unless a whole bunch of people ask for them. Also, I do not own Gorillaz. They belong to Jamie and Damon.

So, the girl was changing and cleaning herself off in the bathroom, leaving her and 2D to wonder how she got to the front door in the first place. 'Actually, it's not that hard to figure out,' she thought, glancing at the bat. "I wonder 'ow she got in 'ere in the first place," the singer mused, looking at Noodle with his eyebrows raised. Noodle smiled at 2D, nodding her head at the bat, "I'm guessing she used that bat to fend the zombies off until she got to the door."

2D nodded thoughtfully, "I don't fink anyone's tried 'at before." Noodle shook her head, "No, I don't think so." It was then that the girl walked in the room. "Your toilets have a very peculiar smell," she said, smiling a little. She had changed into a clean shirt that said 'I may be cute, but I still bite', and some jeans. Having washed the blood off of her, Noodle could now see that she had blonde hair.

"Thank you very much," the girl said pleasantly, smiling again. "Yo' very welcome," 2D replied. The girl was quiet for a bit, glancing around the room. It made Noodle feel a little awkward. What do you say to someone who was just almost eaten in your front?

The room was silent for a moment, before the girl finally coughed, "I guess you already knew about the hordes of undead in your front yard?" 2D nodded, "Yeah, 'ey are pretty restless, today. I guess ya just came on the wrong day." The girl nodded, thinking.

"I'm Anna, by the way," she said, shrugging.

"I'm 2D," the singer replied.

"Noodle," she added.

Their names seemed to make Anna think really hard, as if she'd heard of them, but couldn't remember where. She gave up on it, though, "Sorry for just showing up like that, but my phone died and I was lost, and about halfway up to your house, I was swarmed by some zombies. Umm, that reminds me, do you still have a phone I could use?"

Noodle nodded, pointing to the one at the front desk. The girl nodded, "Thanks." Then, she walked over to the phone and started to dial. "What are we going to do, now? We can't send her out in the dark, back to the zombies," she whispered to the singer, glancing at the girl as she did so."

"I dunno," he replied, looking at the girl, as well. "I guess it's up t' Muds and Russel, too."

Anna tapped her fingers on the desktop as she waited for her parents to pick up.

RING! RING! RING! RING!

Hey, you reached Mitch and Karen Wilkins. Sorry, but we're on a cruise around the world and we'll be gone for six months. That means no cell phones. Please leave a message, and we'll be sure to call you back when we get home.

"CRAP!!" She pounded on the table with a fist, causing the other two people in the room to look at her. She hung up angrily, tossing her balled-up, bloody clothes at her wagon and stomping back to 2D and Noodle. "What is it, Anna-San?"

She heaved a sigh, "I knew my parents would leave for something the second they put me on the plane, but this is ridiculous! They're on a six month cruises and they left their cell phones at home! I can't contact them at all!" She let out a sob. The guy, 2D, and the girl, Noodle, looked concerned, "Don't you have somewhere to go? "

Anna shook her head, still blinking back tears, "The dorm I was gonna stay in was shut down for renovations, and my parents wouldn't pay for the back-up dorm. I'd rent a place, or find a hotel or something, but I dropped my wallet when the cab drove away with my things, and someone took all my money and credit cards."

2D and Noodle cringed. THAT was the most unfortunate series of events they might have ever heard. "Well, then," Noodle began, glancing at 2D, who looked about ready to cry, himself, "You will be staying here for a bit." Both Anna and 2D's heads snapped up to look at her.

"WHOT?"

"WHAT?"

Noodle nodded, "You heard what I said." Anna shook her head, "I can't intrude like that. Really, I can't. I should seriously be on my way-"But the sounds of zombies interrupted her. In fact, the very idea of going out, in the slowly darkening atmosphere, and fighting against the undead stopped her cold. Even 2D cringed at the very thought.

"Luv," the singer whispered to Noodle, grabbing her arm lightly and leading her away from the other girl, "What about Russel…. And Murdoc?" Noodle shrugged, "Russel will undoubtedly agree with me, that this girl needs a home. And Murdoc… Well, I'll make sure he lets her stay." 2D glanced at the other girl, who was watching them intently, then back at Noodle, "I sho' 'ope so. Muds doesn't like su'prises."

Noodle nodded, knowing he was right. Hopefully, simply because it was her asking, he'd say it was okay. She looked back at Anna, who still seemed to be thinking pretty hard. "Well, Anna-san, after you meet the rest of our…. Housemates, we will maybe have a bite to eat before we find you a room. Maybe you will need to bunk in my room for tonight, since it's getting kind of late.."

Noodle looked at the clock; it was 7 o'clock. Where was Russel? Or Murdoc? As if on cue, the heavyset drummer came down on the lift. "Sorry I'm just showin' up, but I was workin' on this hog and I just lost track of time-" He stopped, looking at Anna, "Who's this? One a' your friends, Noodle? She's stying kinda late." Noodle gestured to Anna, "Russel, this is Anna. Anna, this is Russel."

"Hi," the girl said quietly, waving shyly.

"Hey," Russel replied, waving back.

"And, Russ?" Noodle added, suddenly feeling a lump in her throat. "Yeah?" He asked, making his way towards the kitchen. Noodle glanced at 2D, who shrugged, and took a deep breath.

"Anna needs a home. She's staying here for a while."

Author's note: I hope that this is getting better, as well as being as realistic and true to the character's personalities as possible.

Lots of Love,
