I DO NOT OWN GORILLAZ

Hello there, I know I haven't really kept to my schedule of updating everyday but I never said I would XD I found this fun to write, adding a bit Moore childishness into Noodle. Lemme know what you think.

Phase 1

It was that time. The time that every parent (and the like) dreaded. But it happens every single time with every single child. And this time it had happened to a certain Asian guitarist we all know. This time usually came around the time they start learning. For Noodle, she was 12. Leaning broken english from Russel and her daily dose of swears from Murdoc kept her at a strange mental state but they were all fine. The thing that none of the boys would think would happen was that on one dreary morning, filled with an unusual amount of zombies around Kong, noodle stood on the table and demanded their attention.

"I want pet!" She yelled and 2D laughed a bit.

"No problem love," he said and started patting her head. Noodle swatted him away with her hands and repeated herself.

"That's not wot she means, face ache. She wantsa pet," Murdoc said whacking 2D over the head.

Russel spoke up from the kitchen, "she's not ready for a pet."

Noodle pouted, "want pet!"

Russel came up to her, "Noodle not ready for pet." He had her repeat it him between them both before she got annoyed.

"Want pet!"

"Wot kinda pet, love?" The singer asked.

Noodle twiddled her fingers together, "don't know."

"Jus' get 'er a zombie. Lotsa 'em 'angin around," Murdoc commented.

"We can't get her a zombie, Mudz. It would eat her whole." Russel argued.

"I fink it'd be cewl," 2d said but no one payed any attention. He turned to Noodle who was also left out of the conversation/argument. "Let's go to te pet store." He gave her a toothy grin and they ran to the car park unnoticed.

They arrived at the mall moments later and headed straight to the store of their desire. In the window were various types of dogs and on the other side, cats. Further in the store were birds and reptiles and more dogs. Noodle stared at each and every single animal, getting 2D to lift her so she could see the higher ones.

"Down," she ordered half heartedly. It was the last hamster and the last pet in the entire store. She didn't find a single one that she liked enough to get. "Not cool." He seemed to not hear the tiny girl. "Pets not cool." She said again.

"Te pets aren't cewl enough?" He said confused.

"Hai, no cool pets."

2D stared sympathetically at her. "Dun worry, love. Yew'll find one yew love soon enough." It raised her sprites a little as they left the store.

When they reached Kong again Noodle waked straight to her room and the blue haired man went to the kitchen where Russel and Murdoc had taken to watching tv.

"Yo 'D, where've you been?" Russel said upon noticing him.

"I tewk Noodle to te pet store."

"Yew didn't get 'er a pet, did ya face ache?" Murdoc said spinning to face him.

2D shook his head, "she looked at awl of 'em but didn't like any. She said t'ey aren't cewl enough."

Russel went back to his 'she's not ready for a pet' speech while Murdoc seemed to be actually thinking.

"Wot abou' the store we went ta for the giant moose in 19-2000?"

"We can't get 'er a giant moose." 2D stated.

"I know tha', dullard! But they could have something for Noodle," Murdoc yelled.

"Oh, tha' makes sense." 2D said and Murdoc punched his arm in a not so loving way.

The next day Noodle noticed the rest of her band mates were slightly more giddy than usual. She ignored it for the most part but her curiosity was strong. Russel was taking her out because 2D and Murdoc claimed to be busy with something. The walked to her favourite ramen place where she happily ate 2 bowls of soup. They did a few other things before returning back to Kong.

She walked into her room and became a bit annoyed that 2D and Murdoc were in it without her permission, Russel came in after her and they all had big smiles on their faces so Noodle let it go.

"What doing?"

"We 'ave a surprise for yew, love." 2D said and grinned wider, showing his toothless smile. She smiled in return and they opened her sliding doors to the storage place in her bedroom. Instead of the few boxes she had put in there before though, the was a board with hundreds of buttons and levers on it. But the most prominent change was the giant head in the middle of it. Her eyes grew wide and for a second the band thought she was going to cry but the smile changed their thoughts.

"Pet!" She yelled and went over to it. Murdoc showed her how to wake him up and she sat in front of him teaching him how to speak.

"Wot yew goin' ta name it?" 2D asked.

Noodle thought for less that half a second before spitting out, "Shaun."

They looked confused but shook it off and laughed a bit as Noodle bonded with her new 'cool' pet.

So? What do you think? By the way, I've got a few chapters that I'm writing and I just wanted to know if you had any suggestions or requests for one, cause you guys are the ones who read it
