It was a lovely Spring day as the long, dull winter was ending and it was now about time for Spring.

Cherry woke up with a sigh before sniffing the air and looking around. "Hey... No allergies!" she then smiled. "No Spring allergies! I AM UNSTOPPABLE!"

Lionel and Furrball yawned at the same time.

"Morning, Cherry," Lionel waved. "Someone's in a good mood today. Someone you hate fall in a mud puddle?"

"I don't have spring allergies anymore!" Cherry said to them. "Wow... Drell must've really meant it after our adventure in Narnia."

"Lemme guess, another long story that I wasn't there for?" Lionel replied.

Cherry grinned sheepishly to him. "The point is, one of the things I hate most about Spring is no longer a pain in the nose!"

"Alrighty then!" Lionel grinned. "Congratulations!"

Cherry soon went downstairs to celebrate her cure for seasonal allergies as she felt positive about a spring morning for the first time in... Probably ever. Lionel and Furrball followed her downstairs.

"So we got a brand new Spring day," Lionel said. "How are we gonna spend it?" he then asked.

"Hmm... I dunno..." Cherry said as she began to cook breakfast. "I haven't checked my phone today."

Furrball found Cherry's phone and swatted it over with his paw.

"Hey!" Cherry said. "Careful!"

Suddenly Lionel's pocket began to vibrate. He took out his phone. "It's Atticus, AKA Nancy, AKA Big Head."

Cherry soon picked up her phone and wiped the screen since some cat hair got on it. "What's up with him?" she then asked.

"Says he wants to bring us to meet the Chipmunks for Easter..." Lionel read. "Another group I don't know anything about, right?"

"Well, look at it this way," Cherry said. "You can get to know them. They're a nice little trio who have musical talent. We sometimes have misadventures with them like meeting Frankenstein or the Wolfman."

"Cool!" Lionel replied. "I bet those were fun..."

"Oh, they were," Cherry said. "Atticus's parents are good friends with their father, Dave Seville. The Chipettes also used to live here with me for a while until they decided they would be happier with Ms. Miller."

"Ohh..." Lionel nodded.

"Feels like a long time ago," Cherry said. "Also feels weird to think of there being a time before we met each other. I mean, before I met Atticus, I was kind of alone all the time."

"Well, that era is over," Lionel replied. "You're not alone anymore!"

"Yes... That's true..." Cherry said softly. "Okay, we'll go after breakfast. How do you want your eggs?"

"Scrambled with ketchup, and a little black pepper!" Lionel replied.

"All right!" Cherry told him as she soon cooked them some breakfast before they would go out to see Atticus and the Chipmunks.

After breakfast was done, the pair and Furrball headed out to Atticus' house. Atticus waited for them on his front porch, keeping up with his exercises. Cherry snuck up behind Atticus with a smirk and tried to step on his back.

Atticus sighed. "Morning, guys. I can sense your energy signals."

"You can do that?" Cherry asked before coming off of his back.

"Learned it from Goku!" Atticus replied.

"Hmm..." Cherry replied.

They soon went to the Seville house as the boys were outside together, about to go somewhere.

"You guys running away from home again?" Cherry asked.

"We gotta visit our grandpa." Simon said.

"...You have a grandfather?" Cherry asked in surprise.

"Well, we DO have a mom." Theodore replied.

"Well... Yeah, that's true..." Cherry said. "All right, let's go see the old geezer."

Atticus nudged Cherry slightly from that.

They soon began to leave and came to a retirement home that seemed to be for woodland animals.

"Well...not the strangest thing I've seen." Lionel replied.

"We've seen a lot." Atticus and Cherry added.

"Boys? Is that really you?" A voice asked.

"Grandpa!" Alvin, Simon, and Theodore beamed, running to the elderly chipmunk and hugging him.

"Oh, you boys have gotten so big." The elderly chipmunk smiled and hugged them back.

Lionel stared in curiosity. "So these are grandparents...fascinating." he remarked.

"I know what you mean." Cherry said to him softly.

Lionel nodded.

"You kids being good for Easter?" Grandpa smiled.

"Yeah!" Theodore smiled back. "We just love Easter!"

"Erm... Love is a strong word, but yes, we're excited." Simon replied.

"Never had an Easter before, but yeah!" Lionel nodded.

Grandpa gasped to him. "You've never had an Easter before?"

"Yeah! What's wrong with you?" Alvin added.

"Well, where I came from, there was no such thing as Easter." explained Lionel.

"Curious... Where are you from?" Simon asked Lionel.

"The 5th Dimension," Lionel replied. "Long story."

"Interesting..." Simon replied as he examined Lionel.

"Let's have some fun, kiddos!" Grandpa suggested.

"Um... Sure." Cherry said politely.

"Well, I'm always up for fun!" Lionel replied.

They all soon began to have fun together with the other elderly animals.

"Now, I just wonder who the Chipmunks' father is?" Atticus commented.

"Maybe he's in NIMH or the Dapplewood Forest." Cherry muttered.

"I doubt we'll find the answer to that for a long while." replied Lionel.

They soon had fun, such as playing Checkers, croquet, and Bingo as they did what they could to have fun at the retirement home.

"Nice to see even Cherry is having fun with the elderly." Lionel said.

"Yeah, Cherry's pretty close with elderly people," Atticus replied. "It's like a second chance for her since she never really knew her grandparents."

"Small universe," nodded Lionel. "I never had parents, let alone grand-ones!"

"So, were you just born... Or... Um... How do your people work?" Cherry asked curiously.

"Honestly, I was just willed into existence, like everyone else in my dimension," replied Lionel. "After that I was basically on my own."

"So, basically, you just come into existence?" Cherry asked.

Lionel nodded.

"Hmm... Interesting..." Cherry replied.

"Granted, we reproduce like mammals do," Lionel explained. "But other than that, we don't really have parents or families beforehand."

"That kinda sounds sad." Atticus frowned.

"I guess," replied Lionel. "But I never really thought much about it before cuz I didn't want to annoy anyone with my problems."

"You kids like Easter?" Grandpa asked.

"I mostly like the egg salad sandwiches my mother makes." Cherry said bashfully.

"It does sound fun." Lionel agreed.

"Well, it's so nice to see the boys having good friends like you." Grandpa smiled to them.

"Aw, shucks," Atticus beamed. "It's no problem, sir. Really!"

"As long as you're here, you're my honorary grandchildren." Grandpa allowed.

"Wow! Thanks." Cherry said.

"Sure thing, especially with you folks helping keep an eye on Vinny's boys." Grandpa smiled to them.

"Um...Vinny?" Lionel asked, confused.

"Our mother." Alvin, Simon, and Theodore told Lionel.

"Ohhhh!" Lionel replied, nodding in response.

Eventually, the boys had their own Easter basket.

"Well, boys, these early Easter goodies are mighty thoughtful." Grandpa smiled.

"Yeah, Grandpa!" Theodore smiled, taking out a green egg. "This one's really neat! It's got chocolate on the outside," he then picked up a blue egg, putting that one in his pocket. "And this gooey yellow stuff on the inside! Oh, oh, and this one-"

"Point is, there are a lot of them." Patch replied.

"Uh... Yeah..." Theodore smiled bashfully.

A giant egg soon rolled down the path.

"It's Baby Huey! RUN!" Cherry called out.

"Wrong cartoon," Lionel stated. "Besides, I wonder what could be inside that thing?"

The egg kept on rolling until a young male rabbit came out beside an elderly female rabbit who was painting a picture.

"Oh, my darling nephew!" The female rabbit smiled and hugged him. "Aren't you sweet?"

"It's Mr. Hoppity!" Alvin gasped once he recognized the male rabbit.

"I take it that's the Easter Bunny?" asked Lionel.

"Yep," Grandpa chuckled. "He loves to surprise his Aunt Bunnie."

"I thought the Easter Bunny's name was Peter Cottontail?" Cherry commented.

"Unless there's more than one Easter Bunny like when Darla's friend Annabelle told us there was more than one Tooth Fairy." Atticus shrugged.

"Maybe it's like a generational sort of thing?" Lionel suggested. "Like maybe each Easter Bunny goes by a different name every generation?"

"Honestly, I don't know, but I guess that would make sense." Simon replied.

Theodore soon ran over to talk to and meet Mr. Hoppity in person as he was with his aunt.

"Looks like Theo wants to say hi." Atticus noted.

The others came after him to make sure Theodore would be alright.

"Uh, excuse me!" Theodore piped up. "Excuse me! Excuse me!"

"Yes...?" Mr. Hoppity replied to the young chipmunk.

"Uh... Well... You know..." Theodore smiled cutely. "I really, really like the chocolate, but I'm really not a big fan of the purple ones with the gushy stuff inside."

"Gushy...stuff?" Lionel asked, confused.

"Ah... Theodore..." Alvin chuckled nervously.

"He's not here to take our order." Simon scolded his younger brother.

"I just thought he'd want to know!" Theodore scoffed.

"Maybe, but this is his downtime," replied Atticus. "So let's not bother him."

"Well, maybe I could make it up to you guys." Mr. Hoppity said.

"Uh, that's okay, sir." Cherry replied.

"No, no, I insist..." Mr. Hoppity said before magicking up colorful eggs in his paw for each of them.

Lionel blinked in surprise. "...unbelievable..." he exclaimed.

"Um... Thanks..." Cherry said to Mr. Hoppity.

"Hey, no problem, little lady!" Mr. Hoppity smiled. "It's the least I could do!"

"I touched the actual Easter Bunny..." Alvin whispered in astonishment before walking into a tree.

Theodore took the egg basket until Simon took it from him, giving it to their grandfather.

"Watch your step, Alvin." Lionel advised.

Alvin shook his head and still smiled. "The girls are never gonna believe this!"

"That and Brittany will probably accuse you of lying." Patch added.

"Oh, big time." Cherry rolled her eyes.

"Hmph." Alvin pouted.

"Oh, these eggs look delicious," Grandpa smiled, picking up the basket. "Oh, but I can't eat these. I gotta stay in shape for delivering these baskets for Easter. You know, I was the original Easter Chipmunk!"

"Easter Chipmunk?" Lionel asked. "Elaborate."

Atticus and Cherry shrugged to each other as not even they knew.

"Oh, you don't know the Easter Chipmunk?" Grandpa smiled to them. "He helps out the Easter Bunny delivering eggs to all the good little children!"

"So, like his partner?" Lionel replied.

"Oh, yes," Grandpa smiled before sighing softly. "It's a shame no one really remembers him though..."

"Uh, well, good luck with that, sir." Patch said to the elderly chipmunk.

"Aye." Lionel nodded.

"Well, kids, gotta run," Grandpa smiled as he walked off. "Thanks for visiting!"

"Bye, Grandpa!" The Chipmunks smiled back, waving to him.

"You don't really think he believes he's the Easter Chipmunk..." Alvin said to the others.

"At this point, I guess so." Atticus replied.

"As long as it makes him happy," Simon shrugged. "What's the difference?"

"What's the difference?!" Alvin glared. "We may have nuts in our family tree!"

"Oh, just let him have his dream," Lionel replied. "It's not harming anyone."

"Yes, it's good to have dreams to vent on," Cherry added. "Other than being crushed by others."

"Besides, is an Easter Chipmunk SO unbelievable here?" asked Atticus. "We've seen much weirder things."

"I got a whole book of 'em." Cherry smirked.

"And another already in the planning stages!" Lionel added.

"You guys wanna come over?" Alvin asked.

"Sure, I'd like that," Atticus smiled. "Oh, do you guys wanna come too?"

"I have nothing else going on." Cherry said.

"Sounds like a blast." Lionel replied.

"All right, let's go visit the Seville house," Atticus smiled. "Feels like it's been a while since I last hung out there."

"Yeah, me too," Cherry had to agree. "Other than offering to walk them to and from school with the Chipettes."

And so they headed to the Seville house.

"So...anyone see that new Addams Family teaser trailer they put out yesterday?" asked Lionel.

"You know I did." Cherry smirked.

"Guess we know what we're gonna go see in October." Lionel replied.

"As long as we don't forget another certain day in October." Atticus added.

Lionel nodded. "As if I'd even DREAM of forgetting that other, extra-special day, besides Halloween!"

"I might check it out sometime," Atticus said about the Addams Family trailer. "I like the animation."

Everyone murmured in agreement as they arrived at the Seville house.
