Instead of another oneshot, this is my first chapter story. Pairing is Alvin/Brittany (majority poll vote). Not necessarily planning on any descriptive war scenes unless they're requested in the reviews. Anyway, enjoy! :)

I will always

LOVE YOU,

Because no matter what happens

Today or tomorrow,

You'll always be MY hero.

He smiled sadly. "Brittany, just because I'll be away for a while doesn't mean we'll never see each other again…" Brittany sat up straight as she looked at Alvin, "Do you know how long 6 years is?! 6 WHOLE years, maybe even longer! I won't know what to do with myself while you're gone…" Tears filled her eyes yet again as she put her head in her hands. Alvin sighed, gently embracing the sobbing chipette. Both chipmunks were silent for a time, watching the sun as it slowly disappeared behind the mountains, casting shadows on everything around them.

The sound of Brittany's sweet voice soon broke the comfortable silence between the two. "Alvin?" Alvin looked over at her, his honey golden eyes sparkling in the setting sunlight. "Yeah, Britt?" "Can we do this again when you…when you come back?" Alvin chuckled. "If I'm still in one piece, then sure!" Brittany playfully punched his arm, though shortly after, her expression grew serious. "I-I mean it, Alvin…what if you get hurt? What if you don't come back at all? Then what? Do I just move on with my life? Find someone else to love? I-"

"Wait, what do you mean find someone else to love?" Alvin interrupted, his brow furrowed in slight disbelief. "No, no, no! That's not what I meant to say!" Brittany quickly corrected. Her voice softened as she looked down at her hands. "I've never loved anyone as much as I love you, Alvin…" Alvin gently lifted her chin and looked into her glassy blue eyes. "Brittany, you know you're the only girl I could ever love…as much as I do."

Brittany contentedly smiled as she leaned her head against Alvin's chest, savoring his sweet scent. "I love you, Alvin…"

Alvin and several others groaned as they heard the Sergeants' booming voice pierce through their somewhat peaceful slumber. The day before had been nothing but strenuous training and harsh commands, despite the fact that Alvin wasn't exactly one of the most submissive soldiers in the junior rank. Desperately trying to ignore the intense aching in his muscles, Alvin pulled on his boots, ran a hand through his messy brown tuft of hair, and trudged outside, only to meet the Sergeant with a large list of the day's activities. He inwardly groaned at the thought of further bodily exertion, seeing as he hadn't gotten much sleep recently, and was already sore. "This is gonna be a long day…"

First chapter is done! Leave me a review, let me know what you think of it so far, and please feel free to add your ideas! Oh yeah , and to prevent any flames, yes, the short quote at the top is mine, I thought of it on my own. :)
