Well, here it is guys. The final chapter! Wow, can't believe it's the last one! This chapter is probably the sweetest of them all because it just sums up the whole story.

Thank you (times a million) to everyone who has read and reviewed this story! I really hoped you enjoyed it! Anyway, here's the final chapter of Reuniting Our Love


One month later, after the tour had wrapped...

"...And they all lived happily ever after. The end." Alvin said, as he put the fairy tale book away. He had just finished reading Melody her favorite bedtime story, Cinderella.

But Melody, being the curious little girl she is, asked, "Daddy, when the book says 'Happily Ever After', what does it mean?"

Alvin laughed. "Mel, you've heard this story so many times. Why are you asking this now?"

Melody shrugged as she hugged her teddy bear. "I don't know. All the other fairy tales you and Mommy read to me end off with 'Happily Ever After'. Why is that?"

Alvin smiled at his daughter, automatically thinking about how much his life has changed over the year, and the life he has shared with Brittany, all the way back when they were 8 years old. "Well, I guess it means that nothing will go wrong, life is at it's best, and that at the end, everyone is happy, and it stays that way."

"But why is it called 'Happily Ever After'?" Asked Melody. "After what?"

Alvin shrugged. "After the story, I guess."

Melody tilted her head. "So why did they add 'Happily Ever After' if they're not gonna tell us what's gonna happen next?" She asked, pointing to the book.

Alvin laughed and said, "You ask way too many confusing questions, Mel. You've been spending way too much time with your Uncle Simon and your Aunt Jeanette."

Melody looked puzzled. "But it's the book's fault, Daddy. It's-"

Alvin cut her off. He kissed the top of his daughter's head. " 'Night, Melody."

Melody pouted. "But Daddy!" She whined.

Alvin tucked her into bed. "Sleep early because your aunt Eleanor and aunt Jeanette are taking you to the park tomorrow. And if I were you, I'd ask your Aunt Jeanette for all these answers. She'll tell you."

Melody sighed, as she begined to yawn. "Okay, fine. I will." She said, snuggling into her bed. "Goodnight. I love you daddy."

Alvin smiled. "I love you too." He whispered. Alvin shut the door behind him, and walked downstairs to the living room to find Brittany on the couch, reading a book. She was so absorbed into the book, she didn't know Alvin was there until he sat beside her, putting an arm around her waist.

Brittany looked at him and said, "Oh, you're here. Is Melody asleep now?"

Alvin laughed. "Yeah, she is. But you won't believe the questions she asked me before she went to bed."

Brittany smiled. "Let me guess. What does 'Happily Ever After' mean, and all that stuff?"

Alvin smiled and nodded. Brittany sighed and rested her head on his shoulder. Alvin kissed the top of her head then said, "You know what I thought of when Mel said the words 'Happily Ever After'?" Brittany turned her head and looked at him. Alvin said, "I thought about us. The life we've been through. Looking back at the years. Everything."

Brittany smiled. "That's what I think of whenever she asks me the same thing." She said gently. Alvin smiled at her, hugging her closer to him. After 2 minutes of silence, Brittany sighed out loud, an turned her attention back to her book. "Well, it's getting late. I'm just gonna finish this book. You can go upstairs and get ready for bed. I'll be there in an hour or two." Said Brittany. Her eyes were glued onto the book she was reading.

Alvin rolled his eyes and stood up. He grabbed the book from her hands and set it aside. He pulled her up from the couch and held her hand.

Brittany looked at him. "Hey! I was reading that!"

Alvin ignored her. He just looked into her eyes and said, "I wanna show you something."

Brittany looked at him, confused. "Uh, okay."

Alvin led them into the backyard. Usually, their big backyard would be full of green grass, with the gazebo at the side, with their swimming pool and their jacuzzi in the middle of the yard. But tonight, all that was completely non-noticable. Because tonight, the backyard was decorated with beautiful vanilla scented candles. The lights shoned luminously in the night. There was soft music playing in the background. And there was a small table for two, with a bottle of wine on top of it. And to make it even better, the night sky was absolutely beautiful. There were no clouds in the sky. Just the bright moon, and the glimmering stars.

Brittany was speechless. She turned to Alvin. "Alvin, d-did you do this?"

Alvin flashed her a smile but shook his head. "No, it was my magical wizard friend." He joked, making Brittany laugh. Alvin smiled and kissed her lightly on the lips. "Of course I did this."

Brittany smiled. She turned around and wrapped her arms around Alvin's neck. "It's so beautiful, thank you." She kissed him lightly. After they broke off, Brittany asked. "When did this happen?"

Alvin laughed and shrugged. "When you were upstairs, helping Melody with her homework."

Brittany smiled. "You're amazing, you know that?"

Alvin smiled and shrugged again. "I try."

Brittany giggled, as she led her and Alvin to the table, and sat down. Alvin poured both of them a glass of wine. They had an amazing time being with each other under the moon and the stars. All they did was talk about life. They laughed every now and then. It was just like high school, except tonight was even better. After an hour, they left the table and the wine to go sit in the hammock.

Alvin had an arm around Brittany while she had her head on his shoulder. "Thank you for tonight Alvin. It was so romantic."

Alvin kissed the top of her head. "You're welcome." He murmured softly against her hair.

Brittany sighed and said, "Remember when we were about 8 years old, how we thought that we would give each other cooties if we got close to each other?"

Alvin laughed and nodded. "I remember."

"And now look at us. 15 years later." Sighed Brittany. "I can't believe we've made it this far."

"And you know that no matter what happened to us in the past, I will love you. I will always love you today, tomorrow, and the rest of eternity." Alvin said.

Brittany smiled and reached up to kiss him. "I will love you, forever and ever."

They swung in the hammock for at least 10 minutes. It was totally peaceful and quiet that none of them wanted the night to end. The quiet chrips of the crickets, the soft blows of the wind, and the quiet creaking of the hammock were the only sounds that were heard. After another 10 minutes or so, Alvin broke the silence. He unwrapped his arm from Brittany's shoulder and looked at her. "Brittany, sorry to break the silence, but do you have a minute to talk?"

Brittany looked at him in slight confusion but shrugged. "Yeah, sure."

Alvin smiled as he held her hands and stared into her eyes. "Brittany, you know I'm in love with you. I've always been in love with you for as long as I can remember. We've grown up together, we've knew each other all our lives. We've been though a LOT. We've had countless memories with each other, and I'm just so lucky to have you."

Brittany smiled at him, but didn't say anything.

"Melody is the greatest gift you've given me. She's the best daughter two parents can ever have, and despite the things that happened when we were teenagers, I will always be there for you two." Alvin said. He was getting more nervous as the seconds went by. "And you know that they will never happen again, because I learned a lot from it. I can't live without you."

Brittany smiled again. She touched the necklace that was around her neck. This necklace has been through everything in her life. Everything.

Alvin continued. "It's hard to imagine that one year ago...I was living in this house alone. And you and Melody were living in the old house alone. And the two of us hadn't seen each other for 5 years. And what happened a few months ago, when we saw each other again...I don't know what I'd do if that hadn't happened."

Brittany stayed silent, trying so hard not to remember the life she was living just a few months ago, before she and Alvin locked eyes again for the first time in 5 years.

He took a deep breath. "And it's hard to even think of the pain you've gone through, not knowing who Melody's father was, until I came by. And the day when we both realized that we were parents of that little girl...gosh, it changed my life forever. And you know that I am so grateful. And I will never regret anything."

Brittany smiled faintly, but again, remained quiet.

"I've...I've hurt you so much in the past, and I will never ever be able to forgive myself. I will never make those same mistakes I did in high school. But I am so grateful to have you back in my life. I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet." Said Alvin.

"And I feel like the luckiest girl on the planet." Said Brittany with a smile. Her voice was gentle.

"It's hard to believe that we've know each other since we were about 7 or 8 years old. And now look at us. In love, with a beautiful daughter of our own." Said Alvin. "The journey we've shared in our lifetime is one that I know I will remember for the rest of my life."

"It's one I will cherish forever." Brittany said, looking into his eyes.

"When I say I want to remember this for the rest of my life, I mean it." Alvin said softly.

Brittany smiled and nodded. "I know." She whispered.

"Britt, words can't describe how much I love you, and how much you mean to me. And...I wanna make it up to you." Said Alvin.

Brittany giggled. "Oh, Alvin. You don't have to do anything. You already do so much for me."

Alvin smiled and shook his head as let go of her hands, and hopped off the hammock. Brittany stood up as well. Alvin took a deep breath as he silently stood face to face with his girlfriend. Alvin's heart suddenly started to pound 100 times faster. He felt sweat running down the back of his neck. He was nervous about what he was gonna do next.

"Do you love me?" He asked quietly.

Brittany laughed and nodded. "Of course I do. So much." She said gently.

Alvin gulped. He waited a few seconds before continuing. "Then, will you do something for me?" He asked.

"Anything." Brittany whispered.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. The box looked exactly like the one he gave her when he gave her the necklace back in high school. He fiddled around with it in his fingers. Brittany looked at the thing that was in his hands, and her heart almost stopped when she saw what it was. Tears began to form. Alvin cleared his throat and knelt on one knee. Brittany cupped her hands over her mouth. Her heart just sped up like crazy. She couldn't believe what was happening.

Alvin looked up into his girlfriend's blue eyes and said those words. "Brittany Miller. Will you marry me?"

Brittany gasped. She felt so embarrassed that she was already crying. She was speechless. "Alvin...I-I don't know what to say." She stuttered between cries.

"Please say yes." Alvin said quietly, smiling up at her.

Brittany couldn't answer with words for that one moment, so she just nodded. "Yes! Oh, Alvin. Of course I will!" She said, tears running down her cheek.

Alvin laughed and got up to look at Brittany in the eyes. He smiled as he wiped her tears of happiness away with his finger. He pushed the hair covering her face to look into her ice blue eyes. "You're so beautiful." He whispered as he took the ring out of the box and placed it on her finger.

Brittany looked at the beautiful diamond, then looked at something more priceless than a diamond ring. She looked at Alvin in the eyes, telling herself that this is the boy she grew up with, fell in love with, and shared a heartful of memories with. And now, they belonged to each other. She squealed again as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Alvin smiled and wrapped his arms around the girl he loved more than life. "I love you Brittany." He whispered back. He pulled away, then leaned in to give his new fiancee a soft, sweet kiss. When they pulled away, Alvin looked deep into her eyes, also knowing that this girl was his best friend, ever since the beggining. And now, they were each others.

"I love you." Brittany whispered, tears running down her face.

Alvin smiled, touching the necklace on her neck, then gently holding her face between his hands. "Forever, and the rest of eternity."


EPILOGUE

So, a lot of things can happen in 5 years. Break ups, harsh memories, good memories, reunions and surprises. But know we know that they'll always be a family, because families stick together, right?

So this was the story of how the Chipmunks and the Chipettes grew apart from each other, then reuniting back to each other, and regaining their fame and their massive fan base. This was how a cruel and bitter break up could lead to heartbreaks, surprises and memories. How one fight could break up 6 best friends for a long time. This was how one unexpected thing in life, can lead to another, into another, until everything just made sense. This was how a simple day at the mall, could lead you into finding the answer to life. And turning it into the old times, where everyone was themselves, leaving all their problems behind them.

After Brittany and Alvin's wedding and the honeymoon, everyone got back down to business. Of course, the Chipmunks and Chipettes were right back on top. Their records were going triple platinum in a blink of an eye, and they were all booked like crazy for concerts, and interviews. They had 23 #1 hit records ever since their comeback tour, and they promised that there would be some more surprises along the way.

And one day, they had one of the biggest shock of their lives. After one of their concerts in New York, someone came up to them. It was a man. The man had a friendly smile, but he had teary eyes. It only took them a second to realize who it was. It was Dave. His black hair had a tint of grey, but he still looked much the same. Everyone got very emotional, especially the boys. It had been 5 years since the boys has seen their father. Dave said that he heard that they were having a concert here, and he just had to come and see his sons. And for the first time in 5 years, Alvin, Simon and Theodore cried, realizing how much they missed their dad. The girls got emotional too. Dave was like their father as well. When Dave first met his granddaughter, Melody, he was more happy than angry. He wasn't angry at all. Melody reached up, and hugged her grandpa Dave, automatically loving him, like how she loved her aunts and uncles.

When they all explained the life they had gone through just a few months ago, Dave was speechless, but he was just glad that everyone was back together. Yes, they all got teary eyed when Miss Miller was brought up, but Dave told them that she was looking down on them, in her space in Heaven. 2 months later, the 6 Chipmunks helped Dave move out of New York, and into Hollywood, where the rest of them lived. And Alvin, Simon and Theodore all pitched in to buy a new house for Dave. Dave now lived in a house, just a few minutes away from where his kids lived.

Jeanette and Simon got together, and lived in a place of their own, near Alvin and Brittany. While being rock stars, Jeanette and Simon fufilled their dreams. They both won the Noble Prize for the most best selling authors for the book they wrote together called, 'Life will go on'. The book was basically about the 6 of them, growing up with each other ever since they were 8 years old, going through fame together, school, mini bibliographies about each other, secrets that their fans may not know about them, pictures from when they were still 8 year old kids, to present day, and literally every single moment they shared with each other. 1 year later, Simon and Jeanette got engaged and were expecting their first child. Melody was so excited when she heard that she was going to have a cousin.

Eleanor and Theodore got back together as well. Eleanor and Theodore's dream came true as well. They opened a restaurant in Hollywood, calling it the Seville-Miller Buffet. The first restaurant they opened was such a huge sucess, few months later, they decided to take their restaurant internationally. And the two of them shared a house in Hollywood too, just about 5 minutes away from where Alvin and Brittany lived as well. And just 6 months after Jeanette and Simon made their announcement, Eleanor and Theodore announced that they were expecting their first child too. And they planned to get married after their child was born.

Looking back, it's hard to believe that these 6 chipmunks, who have known each other since their childhood, are all grown up, living their lives to the fullest.

It's amazing how one look at an album, a picture album full of memories, could lead you to where you are now.

This was how being at the right place at the right time could change your life forever. How one unexpected run-in would change your life. How two chipmunks, who were bound to be separated forever, fell in love all over again, and gluing their lives back to pieces. How a little girl was the reason why this family came back together.

This is how 6 best friends, who never thought in a million years would see each other again, reunited, becoming the family they were bound to be.

How one heart wrenching night 5 years ago, causing everyone to break apart, could lead to answers - the answers to life.

This was how one big mistake turned into one big misunderstanding, until everything just fell right back into place, where they should be.

It's hard to believe that every single worst thought had happened to the 6 chipmunks, just 5 years ago. But look. 5 years later, forgiveness did its job. And look at them now. Rock stars, parents, restaurant owners, successful authors...

This was how a girl, Brittany, who thought her life would never be mended, found the answer to her life; Who was the father of her daughter? And after finding the answer, all the tiny glass pieces of her life that shattered, finally fixed themselves up, until her life was where it belonged - with the family she loved, the daughter she loved, and the boy she loved.

This is no ordinary story. Stories like this doesn't happen to everyone. But it just so happened to happen to Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor. 5 years ago, all hell broke loose. But let's face it. If none of that had happened, this wouldn't be happening right now. So maybe, the worst of times could lead into something spectacular in the near future. And because they reunited their love for each other, this story ended with a happy ending.

This was how they reunited their love. Their love for each other, themselves, their band, their passion for music and their fans. How they reunited their family, how they reunited their lives...

And of course, none of this would be happening if Alvin and Brittany hadn't accidentally bumped into each other, a few months ago, that one cool Spring day...

And that was the story of how Alvin and Brittany reunited their love. Together for the rest of eternity.
