Boredom: A word used a lot around KONG studios, but mostly by 2D or Murdoc. Today was different, though. Today it was Noodle who threw the word around.

"Bored!" She whined, attempting to crawl up 2D's leg the second he walked out of his room.

"Wan' ta watch a zombie movie?" 2D asked, putting his hand on the child's head so she couldn't climb up any further.

"No!" The girl squeaked, giving the front man a quick kick to the shin. Before he had time to yell at her, the guitarist was already half way down the hall, looking for her next victim.

Not even an hour later, and 2D had at least two more bruises, Murdoc had syrup in his hair, and Russel now had marks on his arms from where Noodle was clinging to.

"Guys, Noods is ou' o' control!" 2D exclaimed, downing about three migraine pills.

"She kee's sayin' shes bored!" Murdoc smacked the back of 2D's head.

"Well, maybe we should do something with her, she's always cooped up in the house."

"Well, wha' a'e we goin' ta do wiff her?" 2D asked, leaning against one of the kitchen chairs.

"We cou-"

"TOOCHI-SAN! MURDOC-SAN! RUSSEl-SAN! COME PLAY HOUSE!"

And as our brave heros fled to their new hiding places like the pansies they are, an idea struck them all.

Rachel didn't even have time to say hello, the boys had already began their usually screaming.

"Stuart, why dun ya take 'er ta the roller rink? Ya use' ta love roller bladin', 'member, ya and yer friends use' ta go all the time, you loo'd loike a lil-"

"Mum, NO!"

"-angel ou' there on the rink."

"Okay, goo' bye, mum, goo' bye!" 2D said, quickly hanging up the phone and putting his head in his hands.

"A' angel, ay?"

"SHU' UP!"

The roller rink was your typical rink, one that still looked like it was from the seventies despite all then teenagers hanging out there. The funny thing is, people actually recognized 2D as Stuart, a lot of them being old friends who couldn't find a job elsewhere.

"Pot, haven't seen you in forever." A brown-haired man walked over to the singer.

"Jude, 'ow longs it been?"

"Too long, so, you here with the band?"

"Yup."

"Awesome," Jude looked at the mismatched bunch, "Blades or skates?"

"Blades, duh." 2D folded his arms and pretended to look mad.

"What about the big guy?" Jude looked passed him, Russel looked up.

"Skates."

"That dude?" Jude nodded toward Murdoc.

"I dun skate." Murdoc stated, well, until he saw a hot blonde roll on by, "Skates..."

"Toochi-san, Toochi-san!" Noodle ran over to the blunette and hugged his leg as groups of children ran past them.

"What about the little one?" The singer's friend bent over in order to be at eye level with her.

"Skates." 2D picked the child up.

"Thought so."

Now, mind you, it had been years since 2D last bladed, so it made sense that everyone kept teasing that he was going to fall on his stupid face. But, then again, when does anything for the Gorillaz make sense?

After everyone had their roller skates (or blades) on, they made their way (slowly) to the rink. 2D was the first to get on and began skating circles around his band mates.

So Rachel was right, 2D was pretty good at skating. He stumbled once or twice in the beginning, but after that, continued flawlessly. Russel inched against the wall, having not skated since he was Noodle's age, and Murdoc just leaned against the wall, waiting for some attractive woman to skate by.

This experience was totally new to Noodle. She had never done this before and couldn't get the movement down. Every time she let go of the wall, she would begin stumbling uncontrollably and fall down. On a positive note, the girl was doing way better than Russel.

After a few minutes of stumbling and falling, Noodle gave up and sat on the floor.

"Noods, wha's wrong?" 2D bladed next to her and sat beside her.

"I no skate." Noodle was trying to get her skates off, but Russel had tied them tight.

2D said nothing and stood up. He held out a hand for Noodle to take and helped her up.

"Toochi-san? We go now?" Noodle asked.

"Nope." 2D began to drag her away from the wall.

"Toochi-san, no!" Noodle cried as the wall got further and further away.

"Noods, yer doin' it!" 2D smiled brightly. Noodle gasped in excitement as she skated next to her best friend. A couple more stumbles later and she had the hang of it and could let go of 2D's hand.

The child was having so much fun, she hardly noticed the others leave the rink until the DJ made an announcement.

"Couple Skating only now, grab your other half or take a break."

Noodle fell down again and tried getting off of the rink, she knew what a couple was and she knew what only meant. The girl frowned and tried getting off the rink when a hand rested on her shoulder.

"Who?" The girl turned around quickly, only to fall down again. 2D smirked a bit and helped her up.

"It's couple skatin', luv, if ya wanna keep skatin', I coul' go wiff ya." He offered.

"Toochi-san be Noodle's boyf'iend?"

"Um...I guess tha's wha' a couple i', so yeah, fer tonight." 2D smiled yet again and took the girl's hand.

The two skated for the next two hours, the horrible regretted that for the next two days. Skating can really do a number on your ankles!

A/N: I loooooooooooooove skating even though it hurts my ankles. I wrote this at my cousin's skating party. 2D is based around me, my two cousins, and my sis who are amazing at blading. Russel is based after my dad, he was on skates and had to inch along the wall with my stepma cause they couldn't figure it out XD there was a little girl who was better than them. Noodle is based off of my little sis and all the other little ones that my cousin and I had to help skate. Over all, it was fun, until the next day when I was in gym class and noticed a huge bruise on my ankle XD oh man, we were even dancing on blades, it was crazy.
