Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Alvin and the Chipmunks.
I wrote this chapter with the inspiration of the rain and thunder that happened this past week. I hope you like this story. Enjoy!
Clouds started to form up in the sky and the white colour is slowly becoming darker every second; though it did not get unnoticed to a certain green-clad chipmunk known as Theodore who was closely examining it from the window.
"Simon, I think it's about to rain." He said worryingly hopping off the window and towards his older brother.
"Relax Theodore, everything's going to be fine." He said trying to comfort his younger brother.
"Listen to him Theo; I'm sure it's just going to be a light downpour." Alvin said trying to comfort his youngest brother as well.
Alvin then turned his attention back to the television in front of them.
"O-okay." Theodore stuttered.
"Why? What's wrong?" A girl chipmunk in green, know as Eleanor asked.
"He's just a little afraid of thunderstorms; you know the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder." He said not removing his gazed from the T.V.
Theodore cringed a bit as Alvin described his fear, but he shook it off and tried to distract himself with the movie they were watching.
"It's okay Theodore, remember that your brothers and me and my sisters are here for you." She said trying to make him feel better.
"Indeed." Simon said.
Theodore looked at her then at his brothers then smiled because she is right that his brothers and the Chipettes will look after him and take care of him. Then all four of them switched their attention to the T.V and they were shrouded with silence for a few moments, until Alvin decided to break it.
"Hey Eleanor, speaking of your sisters, where are they?" He asked finally realizing the lack of pink and purple in the room.
"They're in our room."
"Why?" Simon not satisfied with the answer.
"I don't know." She shrugged.
"They better get down here unless they want to miss out on watching Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen. They wanted to watch this movie." He said gazing back at the said movie.
"Then I'll get them." Eleanor suggested, then hopping off to go get her sisters.
"Hurry back!" Theodore said.
"Okay!" She answered back.
She jogged to their room, leaving the three brothers alone for the moment.
"What do you think they're doing?" Theodore asked to both his brothers.
"I don't know, but I wouldn't mind finding out." Alvin said.
"Of course you wouldn't." Simon teased.
"Like you wouldn't do the same to Jeanette." He teased back.
"Shut up!"
"Guys...I'm hungry." Theodore said to change the subject and he really was hungry.
"I am feeling kind a peckish as well." Simon agreed.
"Me too. I'll go and see if we have any cheese balls in the cabinet."
Alvin left the couch and went to the kitchen.
"Hurry Brittany, we're missing the movie." Jeanette said.
"Don't worry, I'm almost done Jeanette. Brittany said from the mirror.
She was fixing her look to impress someone she has her eye on. She didn't change her image, but only cleaned up like tidying her hair and clothes; nothing big.
"Finish." Taking one last look at herself in the mirror then went towards her sister.
"We're just going to watch a movie in the living room you know." She said.
"I just wanted to get cleaned up for someone."
"Then why did it take so long?"
"Who can blame me, if you're trying to impress someone who probably met tons of pretty girls." She said the last part with a slightly depressing tone.
"If it makes you feel any better, you look great plus it would be weird if he would date a human girl." She chuckled at the thought.
"Yeah, you're right." She said joining her.
Just then they heard the door open up and both of them turned around to see who it was. It was none other than the third Chipette, Eleanor.
"Girls, what are you doing? The movie already started."
"We know Eli, but Brittany here was getting cleaned up to you know who."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Right Brittany."
"Instead of talking about my life, let's go to the living room and watch the movie already." Brittany said to change the subject.
"Right. Forgot. Let's Go!"
The three scurried out of the room and went to the couch where The Chipmunks are waiting for them. As they we're nearing the couch they see only two chipmunks, a spectacled one and a chubby one. They hopped onto the couch and went to find a comfortable place to seat, except for Brittany who was searching the couch for a sign of the missing chipmunk.
"Simon, where's Alvin?" Brittany asked still looking around the room.
"He's getting some snacks from the kitchen." He answered trying to look behind Brittany, because she was blocking his view.
"I'll help him out."
She finally stopped blocking the T.V and headed to the kitchen to help Alvin.
"So Simon, what did we miss?" Jeanette asked trying to catch up on the movie.
"Oh, nothing much except when the main character made out with the enemy robot." He almost gagged at the thought.
"You okay?" Theodore looked at his brother.
"Yeah I'm fine; I just remembered something."
"You mean the time when you-"
"Shhhh!" Simon covered his little brother's mouth with one of his paws.
"Don't tell them the time when I accidently made out with a robot toy, Okay." He whispered to Theodore and he just nodded since his mouth was still covered.
"The time when he what?" Eleanor asked curiously.
"Uhm... the time when I ate Theodore's droppings." He realized what he just said and mentally slapped himself.
"You what!" Eleanor said shocked.
"Nice save." Theodore said chuckling.
"You still owe me for that one." Simon said menacingly.
"Did it taste anything like chocolates?" Jeanette said trying to hide her giggles.
"Can we just go back to watching the movie? Thank you." He huffed.
"Where are you, you ball of cheesy goodness." Alvin said still searching for the snack.
He was rummaging through the cabinet until he finally found their favourite junk food behind the cereal boxes.
"There you are!" he exclaimed as he hugged it affectionately.
"Am I interrupting something?" Brittany said grinning.
He turned around and saw the chipette standing there.
"Ah! Brittany I-I didn't see you there." He said embarrassed
"Should I leave you guys alone?" She exasperated now letting out a few giggles.
"N-no, we're just friends, I mean— I was just getting us some snacks."
"I noticed."
"So what are you doing here?"
"I was just going to help you get the snacks, but it looks like you've got it under control." She said giggling.
She twirled around and went back to couch with the others.
"How did I ever fall for her?" he asked himself.
Brittany was only a few feet away and overheard what he said.
"Did he just say he—no I must've heard it wrong." She thought, but she wishes she was wrong; she continued where she was going.
Alvin then grabbed the bag of cheese balls and followed Brittany to the couch. When he reached his brothers and the Chipettes the first thing he noticed is that all of them were snickering. He wondered why.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing... so are you two going steady." Simon said pointing to the junk food that Alvin was holding.
"Huh?"
"Brittany told us everything."
Alvin glared at the said chipette who was pretending that she wasn't involved.
"You two would make a good couple." Simon added.
"Shut up." Alvin said then opened the bag and started munching.
"What did I miss anyway?" Brittany asked, she wasn't here when Simon informed Jeanette and Eleanor.
"That dude made out with hot babe who actually happens to be an evil robot, then a car chase happened next." Simon informed.
"It kind a reminded me when Simon kissed our toy robot." Alvin said smirking.
Everyone laughed except Simon who was muttering something.
"Your... stories are... much better than the—the movie." Eleanor said between breaths.
"Can we please watch the dumb movie in peace now?" Simon said irritated.
"Sure, robot lover." Alvin said laughing harder.
Simon became even more irritated. The group then stopped their fun and did what Simon said.
"Finally! Some quiet." Simon rejoiced.
As he and everyone else focused on the remaining parts of the movie and began to relax raindrops started to fall, it can be heard hitting the windows and the roof. A flash of light then followed and after a few seconds a thunderous sound came.
"Eeeekkk" Theodore screamed.
"Theodore relax, remember we're here." Eleanor said calming him down.
"Yeah." He said trying to show a smile.
Another flash of light and thunder came, and it made Theodore yelped then burrowed his face in his sweater.
"Come here Theodore." Eleanor said with arms spread apart.
Theodore went towards her and accepted the hug. A louder crack of thunder came and everything became dark.
"A power outage." Simon observed.
"No? Really?" Alvin teased.
"I guess we won't be able to see the end of the movie." Brittany said sadly.
The raindrops began to fall harder and wind began to pick up, the lightning flashes more frequently and the noise of thunder began to get louder. After another loud bang of thunder they heard something crash. They all then huddled together with their counterparts.
Brittany looked at Alvin from the hug and nuzzled her head in his neck. Alvin was surprised from the affectionate contact and felt his face heat up, but he didn't complain one bit.
*BANG* SWOOSH*CRASH*
-Somewhere in a forest-
In an old pine tree lives three special and unique creatures, they are everything but known. They are in the tree this moment, because the thunderstorm is keeping them inside. The three are nuzzled together.
"Don't worry Angel." A chipmunk that was tall and thin, having two greyish-blue eyes that was covered with Ian like glasses, said with a squeaky voice.
"There is nothing to worry about especially when Eric and I are here." Another chipmunk that was short and chubby and having olive eyes said with the same high pitch voice as the first.
"I-I know Ivan." A girl chipmunk stuttered, she has her hair in a long ponytail and the bangs were covering her face, the colour of her eyes is a light shade of purple.
*BOOM*
The one named Angel hugged the other two creatures closer to her and buried her face deeper between them. She couldn't stand the loud sounds from around her.
*BOOM*
This one was a lot louder than the last ones and also when the lightning flashed, it hit a nearby tree. Now not only water is dropping from the sky but it is now dropping from her eyes, she knows it's not appropriate for her age to still be afraid, but she can't overcome it no matter how hard she tries. The other two chipmunks sensed their sister's emotion and looked at each other. They smiled at each other and started to hum while they backed away a bit.
[Eric]
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I...I will lift it for you
[Ivan]
Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I...I will break it for you
Angel loved this song and was wiping away the tears in her eyes. The two boys gestured her to continue the song; the boys was now just humming.
Everybody wants to be understood
Well, I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up because you are loved
[Eric]
Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside
I...I'll be there to find you
[Ivan]
Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you
I...I will shine to guide you
The three hugged each other again, but this time with smiles on their faces. The two boy chipmunks backed away again and kept humming giving their sister the spotlight.
[Angel]
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up because you are loved (you are loved)
You are loved (you are...loved)
Don't give up (don't give up)
It's just the weight of the world (you are loved)
Don't give up (don't give up)
Everyone needs to be heard (don't give up)
You are loved (you are loved...don't give up)
"Thank you." She said with a smile and tears in her eyes, but it was tears of joy not sadness.
"No Angel, thank you. You made us happy just by your singing." Eric said.
"Give your brothers a hug." Ivan said opening his arms.
After the hug, Angel let out a soft yawn then she rubbed her eyes signalling she was tired.
"I guess it's time to go to sleep." Ivan yawned as he said it.
The three slept peacefully not knowing that the storm, just awhile ago was at its climax, was finally settling down after hearing the angelic voice.
-Back at the Seville House-
"The storm seems to be going away." Simon said.
"Yay!" Theodore cheered.
"But I wish the electricity comes back." Alvin said pouting.
Just then the lights and the T.V turned on again and everyone cheered.
"Whoa! I wish I have a million dollars...I'm waiting!" Alvin said looking up in the ceiling with his hands spread waiting for it to fall.
"Alvin it won't come so sit down and watch the movie." Simon said pulling his sweater.
"Where's Dave?" Theodore asked.
"I think he went shopping or something, but I wish he would come back home; I'm getting hungry." Alvin said holding to his stomach.
"What? Cheese balls aren't enough for you?" Brittany teased.
"Drop it!" Alvin said sternly.
The front door swiftly opened and a human figure came in. It was Dave, he was carrying some groceries.
"Sorry I'm late, the rain slowed me down." Dave said putting down the bags on the table in the kitchen.
"Come on! Now where's the million dollars?" Alvin yelled at the ceiling.
"What's up with him?" Dave asked.
"Nothing." Simon said.
"Hey Dave, come watch with us." Eleanor said.
"Sure. What are you guys watching?" Dave asked, he went to sit beside the two groups.
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." Jeanette said.
"Cool! I wanted to watch this." Dave exclaimed.
"Still waiting!" Alvin yelled.
Everyone turned to him and shushed him up. They watched of what's left of the film peacefully and quietly; except for Alvin who was imitating the fighting moves in the movie which everyone got annoyed about. After the movie everyone yawned.
"Okay. Time for bed." Dave said standing up and waiting for everyone to move.
"Aww! But Dave-" Alvin complained.
"No buts."
"But-"
"Ah!"
"Bu-"
"Ah!"
"Daaave."
"I said no buts."
"What? I don't wanna get rid of my butt, I always use it!" Theodore said frightened holding his butt.
The chipmunks and chipettes looked at him weirdly.
"No Theo, I didn't mean it like that."
"Yes you were. You were going to chop of our butts and eat it." Alvin said trying to scare Theodore and it was working.
"Alvin!" Dave yelled.
"He's going to put ketchup on yours and mine mustard!"
"Alvin!"
"I bet yours is the main course, mine is the appetizer and Simon's is going to be the desert; I bet that's why he went out for shopping!"
"Aaaaalllviiiiin!" Dave finally screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Bed. Right." Alvin said and ran to his room.
The others followed knowing that Dave did his infamous yell. Everyone got ready for bed, changing to their sleeping clothes and got tucked in.
"Good night everyone." Dave said.
"Night Dave." All of them said in unison.
Dave left and went to his own room. The chipmunks and chipettes then said good night to each other then went to sleep, Alvin and Brittany was the last one.
"Good night Brittany!"
"Good night Alvin! I love you." She said the last part very low.
"What?" Alvin must have caught it.
"Uh. I said I love stars."
"O-kay?"
He then covered himself up with the cover so did Brittany. Brittany didn't go to sleep immediately, because she thought about how Alvin would react if he heard it clearly. Alvin wasn't asleep as well, because he actually heard it but wasn't sure how to react or was actually sure what she said, he just shrugged the idea of. When the two thought about it for a good two minutes they finally went to sleep, dreaming about each other.
Please review! I would like to read your thoughts and maybe your ideas on how to make the story to your liking! Read the next chapter.
Peace I'm out!
