Beat 'Em Up!
A rare day off at Kong Studios, and surprisingly, nothing explodes! Russel, 2D, and Noodle have a boxing match instead.
The sun was shining brightly through the windows of Kong Studios, and for once, the members of Gorillaz had a rare day off. Russel and 2D lounged in the living room, trying to decide how to spend their free time.
"Oi, Russel, ya ever tried boxing?" 2D asked, looking intrigued.
Russel raised an eyebrow, his large frame taking up a significant portion of the couch. "Boxing? Yeah, I've done a bit of that in the past. Why do ya ask, Stu?"
"I've always wanted to learn, ya know," 2D replied, his lanky figure shifting nervously. "I mean, I ain't exactly the toughest bloke around, but I think it could be fun."
Russel chuckled, giving 2D an encouraging pat on the back. "Alright then, I can show ya some basics. Just remember, it's all about technique, not just brute strength."
As they were about to start, Noodle walked into the room, her eyes bright with curiosity. "What are you guys up to?"
"2D wants to learn some boxing moves," Russel explained, nodding towards the blue-haired singer.
Noodle grinned and joined in, "Sounds like fun! Can I watch?"
"Sure, Noodle," 2D replied, relieved that she didn't laugh at his request.
Russel showed 2D some basic stances and punches, and the singer tried his best to follow along. He looked a bit awkward, throwing punches with his skinny arms, but he was determined to learn.
Noodle couldn't help but giggle, "You look cute, 2D! Like a little boxer!"
2D smiled, "Thanks, Noodle. I'm trying my best here."
Russel decided to make it more enjoyable for everyone, "Alright, let's turn this into a friendly match! Noodle, you be the referee."
Noodle excitedly agreed and got into position. "Ready, set, go!"
The trio began play-wrestling, and it quickly turned into a playful boxing match. 2D tried to land punches on Russel, but the drummer easily dodged them with his agility.
"You gotta be quicker, ‘D!" Russel advised, showing 2D how to improve his footwork.
Noodle jumped in, pretending to throw some jabs, but 2D managed to block a few with a huge grin on his face. "I'm gettin' the hang of it!"
The match continued, with laughter and cheers filling the air. 2D wasn't exactly the most skilled fighter, but he was having a blast. Suddenly, he got an idea, "Hey, how 'bout we have a 'winner takes all' round?"
Russel and Noodle exchanged amused glances, playing along. "Alright, 2D, let's see what ya got!" Russel said, letting 2D pin him to the ground as if he had won.
Noodle followed suit, pretending to be pinned by 2D. "You're the champ, 2D!"
2D's face lit up with joy, feeling triumphant, "I knew I had it in me!"
Russel and Noodle both laughed heartily, patting 2D on the back. "You did great, man!" Russel said.
"Yeah, I had fun," Noodle added.
With a newfound sense of accomplishment, 2D beamed, "Thanks, guys! This was the best day off ever!"
They spent the rest of their day relaxing and enjoying each other's company. Even though 2D didn't become a boxing champ, he cherished the memory of that playful match and the joy it brought to everyone.
