        2D huffed in annoyance. He was so eager to go for a walk that he forgot to bring a light. He brought his cigarettes and his wallet but not his light. He stuffed his cigarette back in its' box and placed it hastily back in his pocket. He had been walking for about 15 minutes now and he saw it as pointless to go back to Kong to go search for one. It was a chilly autumn night which 2D thought was a perfect night for a walk.

     He usually smoked during said walk but without his lighter it was less pleasant now. 2D gained hope again when he saw a dark silhouette leaning against a store wall. In it's mouth was a stick with a glowing, bright orange tip. 2D grinned and quickly walked over to the person. He slowed down as he approached the silhouette as not to scare them.

     "'ey. Could I borrow a ligh'?"

The figure turned their head and took a puff of their cigarette. It illuminated their face for a short second. 2D could make out a pair of (e/c) eyes and just an all around feminine face.

     "Sure." the figure replied. 2D was 100% sure that who he was talking to was a woman. The woman reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a blue lighter.

     "Fanks." 2D said, reaching for his cigarettes.

     "No problem, 2D."

2D paused and stared at the woman who was staring right back at him.

     "'ow do you know me name?"

     "It's hard to not recognize your face in England. You're the lead singer of Gorillaz."

     "Are ya a fan, then?'

     "Damn right I am."

2D huffed in amusement and reached for his smokes again. He opened the pack, took out a cigarette and placed it in his mouth. 2D lit it and drew in a long breath.

     "Wha's your name, then?" 2D asked as he handed back the lighter.

     "Wouldn' be righ' if ya knew mine an' I didn' know yours, would i'?"

The woman chuckled and flicked the ashes off of the end of her smoke.

     "My name's (_____)."

     "Ya sound American..."

     "I am American."

     "Oh. Sorry if tha' sounded rude."

     "It's fine. It's just a question."

2D smiled. This woman was so polite and she sounded like she didn't have a care in the world. He felt a gentleness almost when she spoke. He was very glad she didn't jump him when he confirmed he was who she said he was. His fans were very scary sometimes.

     "Do ya wanna come walk wif me?" 2D asked (_____) as he puffed on his cigarette, taking a few steps away from the wall you two were leaning against. He watched as (_____) took a final drag of her smoke and snuffed it our against the wall.

     "Sure." she replied. 2D smiled and waited for her to walk beside him before he continued to stride along.

     "So," 2D began.

     "When did ya move t'England?"

     "About a year or two ago."

     "Why did ya come 'ere?"

     "I needed a change of scenery, I guess. America is kind of a piece of shit anyways."

2D chuckled and took a final puff of his cigarette before dropping it on the sidewalk and stomping on it to snuff it out.

     "So ya fink i's a betta place?"

     "Yeah."

     "So... if you're a fan then wha's your favorite song?"

     "Rock the House by far is my favorite. It's very catchy."

2D paused and kept silent for a while.

     "...Wha's your opinion on the otha's?"

     "The others?"

     "Ya know, Murdoc, Noodle, Russel? Whad'ya fink of 'em?"

     "Well Murdoc I think is decent enough. He's got an okay sense of humor. Noodle is adorable and a really great musician. I'm not too sure about Russel, though. He's a damn good drummer. He seems like a cool guy."

     "'e would love if you said that to 'im. 'e don' get too much appreciation."

(_____) smiled at the mental image of Russel smiling. She thought it would be pretty damn adorable.

     "'ho's your favorite?"

     "Hm? Oh, I don't know. Probably you, to be honest."

     "Really?"

2D felt his ego climb higher as he smiled at the woman. She smiled back and let out a small hum of confirmation. The two smiled at each other until a loud ringing startled them both. 2D fumbled for his phone and quickly turned the ringer volume down before answering it.

     "'ello?"

(_____) watched as 2D turned away from her.

     "I'm out walkin'... I'll be back soon, don' worry!... Alrigh', alrigh', I'm comin'. Bye, Murdoc."

2D sighed and turned back to face her, smiling apologetically. He ended the call.

     "You've got to go, don't you?"

     "Yeah. Murdoc wan's me back at the studio. Sorry..."

     "It's alright."

2D suddenly fished for something in his pocket again. He pulled out a stick of gum, opened it, and put the gum in his mouth. He handed her the wrapper and fished around in his pocket again.

     "What are you doing?" (_____) as 2D handed her a pen.

     "I wan' you to write down your numba' so I can call ya' sometime!"

     "Oh. Um. Alright, then."

(_____) took the pen and scribbled down her phone number and handed it back to 2D. 2D smiled and folded it in a small square.

     "Fanks for lettin' me borrow your ligh'a. I owe ya one."

2D began to walk past her.

     "Well, I'm off. I'll call ya when I can!"

2D waved and began walking towards the way he came. (_____) waved back and began walking towards the direction of her apartment. Tonight was a good night.
