As Alicia was doing homework, she heard a crush downstairs and quickly stopped to look at her opened door. "Dad?" She called but there was no answer. She got up from her chair and walked down the stairs, "Dad?"

Alicia stopped at the last stairs and saw her father in the kitchen floor. "Dad?" She called as she ran toward him. She knelt next to him and shook him, "Dad?" Alvin, Simon and Theodore jumped down from the counter and stood next to the father and daughter. "Alvin," Simon scolded.

"Oops," Alvin said. Alicia listen to Dave's heart beat and sighed when she heard it, "He's still breathing. What happened?" She asked. "Well... uh, you said not to let your Dad see us, and when he heard us making noises, he tried to catch us and Alvin threw a glass on his head," Theodore explained.

"We're sorry, Alicia," Simon said. Alicia sighed and got up, "That's fine, let's wake him up." She grabbed a glass of water and splashed it on her father's face, which caused him to wake up immediately. "Whoa," Alvin said. "You okay, Dad?" Alicia asked as kneeled next to her father. Dave groaned, "I must hearing things."

Alvin, Simon and Theodore jumped on the girl's shoulders. "Sir, are you okay?" Theodore asked. Dave's eyes grew wide as he looked at him and yelled. Alicia jumped slightly as her father slid away. "Squirrels can't talk!" Her father said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, watch it, genius," Alvin told him, "We are chipmunks. Chipmunks." Dave stared in shock, "Chipmunks can't talk either."

"Well, our lips are moving, and words are coming out," Simon pointed out. "Your father isn't the smartest one, huh, Alicia?" Alvin whispered to the girl.

"To be fair, not everyday we hear chipmunks talking," Alicia said as she and her father stood up. Dave shook his head, "This is not happening. Ally, is this a prank? Is this your prank?"

"No," Alicia answered. "How - how did they get in?" Dave asked. Alicia hesitated, "I maybe let them into my bag and then let them out when we got inside."

"You what?" Dave asked. "You know, your daughter is much nicer to us, than you are, just saying," Alvin said. Dave let out a breath, "I am not talking to chipmunks. I am not talking to chipmunks."

"They really cute," Alicia said. "And they are not just chipmunks, they have names."

"Names? Wha -" Dave said. "This is Alvin, Simon and Theodore," His daughter introduced. "Okay, great, hey, now, uh, c-can all animals talk?" Dave asked. "Well, I believe fish have this type of sign language," Simon said before he and his brothers hopped to the counter.

Dave shook his head, "No - no, wait a minute, Alicia, why didn't you tell me from the start?" Alicia hesitated and tilted her head, "Because you would react that way?" Dave nodded, "You right." He looked at the brothers, "Now, get out of the house."

"But we talk," Theodore said. "Which makes me want you out of the house that much more," Dave said before pulling his daughter to his side. "But Dad -" Alicia started.

"No, Alicia. I know what you want to say, and they are not staying here, no mutter how much you already like them," Dave said. "They're talking, okay? It's creepy. Unnatural. Somewhat evil."

"I kind of liked him better when he was unconscious," Alvin whispered to his brothers. Dave grabbed a pot quickly and put it on the brothers. "Dad!" Alicia said. "Hey," Alvin said from inside the pot.

Alicia watched as her father threw the chipmunks out and closed the door. Alicia quickly went to the kitchen window to see the three brothers there and was about to open the window for them, but her father stopped her.

"Dad," the girl whined. "No," Dave said as he closed the blinds before starting to getting the kitchen clean. "It's starting to rain," Alicia pointed out sadly, "Are you really want to let them stay out there in the rain? In the cold?"

"They'll manage," Dave said. Alicia pouted before running out of the kitchen before after a few minutes of sitting in the couch, she heard something outside. She walked back into the kitchen as her father opened the window to see that the Chipmunks were singing.

"Oh, were we disturbing you?" Alvin asked. "You know how to sing?" Alicia asked an amazement. "That's not singing, this is singing," Alvin said before he and his brothers started to dance as they sung.

"Talk about it, talk about it, talk about it

(Oh yeah)

Won't you take me to

(Oh yeah) Funkytown.

(Oh yeah) Won't you take me to

(Oh yeah) Funkytown.

(Oh yeah) Won't you take me to

(Oh yeah) Funkytown."

They finished and bowed. "This is amazing," Dave said. Alicia looked at her father and grinned. Dave looked at her and then back at the chipmunks before back at her, "Okay, fine, you're win, they can stay."

Alicia shared a smile with the brothers. "Get inside," Dave said. "Yes!" Alicia said. The chipmunks get in and step on the table. Dave closed the window and turned to the brothers, "Okay, here's the deal. You guys sing my songs, you get to sleep here."

The three brothers thought about it as Alicia thought in a very cute way. "No," Alvin said, "Wait, is breakfast included?"

"I can live with that," Dave said with a nod. "What about TV privileges?" Simon asked before looking at Alicia, "Do you have that?"

"I can watch TV but not after 7," the girl answered. "Not after eight," Theodore said as he looked at Dave. "Yeah, nothings wrong with giving us and your kid a little more time then that," Alvin said, "Have a heart."

Dave rolled his eyes, "Okay, fine." Alicia and the chipmunks cheered. Dave looked at the brothers, "But don't tell your animal friends, because I don't wanna come home and find rabbits and skunks on my couch."

"Filthy creatures, Dave. Never associate with them," Simon said. "Yeah, you two are our only friends," Theodore said. "No, no, no," Dave said while Alicia smiled at the chipmunks. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Let's just start with me being your songwriter."

"Mmmm," Alvin hummed as he hopped over on Alicia's shoulder and looked at Dave, "Let me ask you. Have you ever written a song before?"

"Yep," Dave answered. "Huh, okay then," Alvin said with a shrug. "Okay, it's getting pretty late, Alicia, you have to get ready for bed, there's school tomorrow," Dave said and Alicia sighed sadly, which noticed by the three chipmunks.

Alicia walked away, "Good night," She muttered. "Hey, wait up," Alvin said before he and his brothers hopped off the table to ran after the girl. "Hey, Alicia, what's wrong?" Simon asked. Alicia and the brothers stopped at the stairs. The chipmunks hopped on the staircase and looked at Alicia.

"We only meet you today, but you can talk to us," Simon said. Alicia sighed and looked at her father in the kitchen before looking back at the chipmunks, "I don't want to go to school."

"How come?" Theodore asked. "Because kids are bullying me there, especially there a group of girls there that do that to me," Alicia answered. "What?! Tell me who those kids are, I'll take care of them," Alvin said, "I'll show them."

"Alvin, we can't do anything about that, Dave can," Simon said. "Does your Dad know about this?" Theodore asked. "He's got his own problems, I don't want to put this on him too," Alicia said. "But, Alicia, he has to know, he's your Dad," Simon said. "He could help."

"The only who could have help was my Mom, and she's dead," Alicia said and shrugged, "Dad and I aren't close like we used to be, it's better for me to keep this away from him." Alicia ran up the stairs before any of the brothers could have say anything else.
