A/N: If you are British ignore the first asterisk

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"Oi kid, dinner's ready." Murdoc says impatiently while knocking on the divider. "Yeaahh, I'm coming." You reply struggling to put the guitar back on its stand.

When you got out you saw everyone in a different place of their own. They don't really eat on the table altogether, but you don't really care. "We've got Steak and Chips on the table, Y/N. I'll get a plate for you." Russel said politely and got you a plate "Thanks, man." You said to him smiling. The Steak and Chips dish was actually Steak and Fries *,but you forgot that in England they call it Chips. You felt like you needed to improve your British vocabulary after that. You got your food and looked for a place to sit. It's pretty much like 1/4 of the apartment is a member's territory. It's pretty hard to own a space yourself, so you decided to share with one person. Russel looked busy, though while you didn't want to bother 2-D with your sob stories another time, and Murdoc, you're sure he's had enough of you and who KNOWS what he's doing in his corner where the room divides. Not just eating that's for sure.

You decided to stay with Noodle for a change. You haven't really payed attention to each other since you came in. She was sitting on the floor for some reason. Which was weird since the apartment they rented was huge. You approached her as soon as you saw her.

"Hey Noods." You said to her as you sat down. She didn't really notice you were there until you spoke up. "Huh? Oh, hello Y/N-San." She said gladly in her little Japanese accent. "Atleast I've got someone who isn't in an argument talking to me." Noodle said which made you come to a shock "But aren't you their princess?" You questioned. "It's not like that, Y/N. They're fighting because of each other. Murdoc-San gets mad at me sometimes, but very seldomly." She continues "It's either him or 2-D starting it and Russel tries to beak them up and it all goes down." Noodle takes a deep sigh. You really felt bad for Noodle because it seems to be the people she considers family were always on each other's throats 98% of the time. Even Russel didn't want to share an apartment room with Murdoc. "I know how it feels, Noodle. Sometimes stuff aren't the way you want it to be, but there's times where you've got more than you wanted, ya know what I'm saying, kid?" Those words you said made Noodle think more on the bright side. And after hearing those come out of your mouth, you did too.

You realized you were being too emo on your first day meeting your favourite band. Now you know why Murdoc isn't on your good side. You wanted to make the biggest facepalm ever.

The day wasn't over yet. You thought you could gain atleast two of the members' trust. It looks like Noodle could be one. You changed the subject immediately. "So Noodle, what do you do for fun?" You ask. She said she doesn't really do much other than playing the guitar, video games and Martial Arts. "Heyyy that's nice! I actually practiced Karate before but I failed/forgot about it. I play guitar and was the best at video games in my school's batch." You said to her in excitement. Noodle seemed surprised "Why don't you post gaming videos on the internet then?" "No screen recorder?" Noodle laughed. "Yea. Pretty much." You replied.

You told her that you were just gonna return the plate to the sink for Russel to wash (poor him). After that you and Noodle were talking for hours. She seemed fun to talk to for a little girl. But somewhere in your conversation Noodle changed the subject.

"Oh yeah, you said you've learned Karate before?" Noodle asks. "Uh... Yes. Why? I kinda still/already suck at it, okay?" You said shaking. "She's not gonna ask me to have a match with her, is she?" You thought to yourself. That kid could literally beat Russel in seconds.

"You like video games?"

"Yes. I'd like to be in one if I could."

"Good. Tomorrow, we'll be playing in a game."

You were kinda scared on what was gonna happen, but thought it'd fun anyway.

Noodle yawns "I'm tired." "Yeah, same." "I'll be off to my room with 2-D-san. Oyasumi, Y/N-san!" She waves as she went to the other part of the room that has a divider. "Well, 'Night Noodle." You said back.

It's just you and Russel awake for the evening, you thought of staying on the couch, but you knew that's where Russel stayed. It's either that or Murdoc. Both of you didn't want to choose."

"Russ, stay on the couch, I'll find a different place to sleep." You offered. "Huh? Oh, nah, nah it's all good." He declined politely but you insisted. "Alright. Just make sure you've got a comfortable place to sleep in, mkay?" Russel said. You nod after.

You then headed to the bathroom, it's kinda quiet there. No Murdoc snores or anything. You sat on the floor and got on your phone and texted your friends in the chat group.

***************

After that you called your parents but spoke softly to not disturb the others. It was just a call to make sure you were OK. It ended shortly with a 'goodnight' from your mom and dad. After you ended it you felt really sleepy. You slept on the bathroom floor.
