Book of Noodle

Chapter 3

"So...where did yew come from? An' how old are yew? Do yew know 'ow to speak English?"

So many questions and i didn't know how to answer...the only English word i knew how to say was Noodle. I knew what they were saying i just didn't know how to say it.

" 'D give the kid some space"
the big man said just before setting down a sandwich that i immediate begin eating. Ham...it tasted so good. I cant even remember the last time I've eaten food.

"So kid ya got a name?"
Asked the ugly man as he sat down next to me.

"You smell bad."
I told him taking another bite of my sandwich.

"Ok...i caught none of that..."
he gave me a confused look.

"The name's Murdoc..."
he held out his hand as if wanting to shake mine.

I continue to eat my sandwich, there's no way im touching his hand.

"Mai name's Stuart...bu' yew can call meh 2D..."
said the blue haired man sat next to me giving me a nearly toothless smile.

Cute...but why 2D?

"An' dat big guy ovah dare is Russel...togeva we make up a band, Gorilla..."

Gorilla? But there's more than one of you...shouldn't it be called Gorillas?

"Wha's your name kid..."

Im not sure...what do or say. I only knew one word in English and it wasn't going to help me...

"Noodle..."
i replied awkwardly

"Well ehhh Noo'le...its vereh nice to meet yew..."

2D said petting my head.
I gave him a bright smile.

"Right..."
Murdoc said trying to get everyone's attention.

"Now that we got everything settled...we need to record a new song..."

"A new one? Bu' we jus' spent de last five weeks recordin' Ghost Train..."
2D didn't seem to like that very much.

"Yeah but do yew realleh wanna listen to a song with your ex's shitty guitar skills..."

"Don't talk about 'er!"
He shouted scarring me half to death with his loud squeaky voice.

Poor guy something must have happened...i wish i could help.

"Hey kid...come with me. You don't need to listen to them, they don't normally get along that well and i don't need them rubbing off habits on ya...no offense..."
Russel shrugged

"Hai..."
i smiled at him.

"Hey this is yours isn't it..."
he handed my yellow and white Les Paul back to me.
I nodded, taking the guitar into my hands. Russel seemed really nice.
"Why don't you play me something?"
He insisted

I smiled and nodded happily sitting on the sofa and began to play...whatever was on my mind at the time.

I must have done a good job because when i was done every body was in the living room looking at me as if i just created a something magical.

"Dat was brilliant!"
2D looked at me in awe.
I blushed a little bit at his amazement.

Murdoc sits next to me and wraps an arm around me giving me a side hug.
Ewww he smells even worse up close.

"Damn kid...you've got some skill. How would you like to be our newest member of our band...we can be call the...ummm..."

"Gorillazu?" I asked about the band name...it was Gorillaz right? Or something else.

"I love it!" Murdoc picked me up and spun me around in his arms.

"So, we 'ave a bassist...we 'ave a drummer...a singeh...an' now we 'ave a guitarist!!!"
2D cheered with everyone
"BRILLIANT!!!"

"Buririanto!"
I repeated happily. I know it had only been at least an hour since i met these guys and i already feel like i belong here. This is going to be so much fun!
