Here's another chipmunk story for ya. I thought since the chipmunks are an actual music group they should actually do some singing so TA DA! I came up with this. Hope you guys like it!! :) Ps. I refer to at least three different songs sung by the chipmunks/chipettes.
"Students" Principal Burn's voice called out through the loud speaker. "I am pleased to announce that the talent show has been scheduled for May 8th. So pull out your mics and try out those dancing shoes! Tryouts will take place in two weeks!"
By the time recess started everyone was talking about the talent show. Kevin was convinced he could be the next Eminem. Keisha was telling anyone who would listen or even happen to walk by that she had taken gymnastics since preschool. And to prove it she leaped onto the balance beam and performed three cartwheels. But our squeaky voiced munks had other plans.
"Let's sing a song!" Theodor exclaimed to the group.
"What a great idea!" Eleanor agreed. "Let's sing 'Everything's Gonna Be Alright'! It's my favorite!!"
N/A: That's actually my favorite. it's from 'Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman' it's the song they sing at the end.
"Oh, Ellie… That song is so… last year…" Brittany said with a sigh. "Let's sing 'Only You'…"
N/A: Love that one too. It's from the Live Action Movie when Dave sees them singing in the rain.
"No!" Alvin declared. "We're not singing any of your GIRLY songs! Let's do 'Witch Doctor'. It's a classic."
N/A: The orginal one not the one heard in the Live Action Movie. Ok. I'm shutting up now. :)
"Uh… Alvin? We…" Brittany said gesturing to her and her sisters. "Don't know that one"
"That's not my problem. You could always sing backup." Alvin stated crossing his arms.
"BACKUP!!" Brittany roared angrily.
"We could edit the song a bit to include two parts" Simon offered.
"YEAH!" Jeanette agreed. "Dave can do that right?"
"I'm sure he can!" Theodore cried, delighted.
"Then we'll practice today, after school. Got a problem with that, Alvin?" Brittany asked, turning to her opposite.
"No. Why would I? You got a problem with it?" he asked, turning to her in a face off.
"No." Brittany answered.
"Fine" Alvin growled.
"Good" Brittany snapped.
"Great" Alvin countered.
"Fantastic." Brittany snarled.
"So after school it is!" Theodor cried happily.

"It's an 'A' note, Alvin. A high 'A'! Can't you get anything right?!" Brittany exclaimed flinging her music sheet at the young munk.
The Chipmunks and Chipettes had been practicing for an hour now and had yet to make it completely through the song. In fact the only progress they seemed to be making was shown in their anger. Brittany was still fuming that she had given in to Alvin's choice in song. She was constantly interrupting his solos to point out what he had done wrong.
Jeanette sighed wearily. "Let's just run it again." she was saying.
Simon hit the 'play' button on the stereo and the chipmunks burst into song. Their voices blending together to make a sound melody as they belted out "I told the witch doctor I was in love with you!" Dave, who was hiding in his study cringed as the music started again. The same song that had been sung over and over, in between the yelling and screaming was getting quiet annoying. He leaped from the chair and walked into the living room where the children had been working.
"Hey guys" he said placing his hand on the overworked stereo. "Let's take a break."
"We can't 'take a break'" Brittany mimicked. "Until HE gets it right!!" she exclaimed jabbing her finger at Alvin.
"Me?!" Alvin yelled. "If you weren't so picky about everything!!"
"I said a break." Dave repeated. "Come on, they're snacks in the kitchen."
"SNACKS!?" Theodor exclaimed rushing past him. He stopped and called back to the group. "Guys!? Snacks!!" then he took off running again.
Dave quickly ushered the children into the kitchen where Theodor was already halfway into a plate of chocolate chip cookies. He turned to his brothers as they took a seat next him, crumbles and bits of chocolate covering his face. "They're really good, Dave!" he cried, spraying specks of food everywhere.

"A ONE, A ONE, A ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!" Alvin yelled tapping his foot, sending the Chipmunks into OOOOOH's.
"You told the Witch Doctor you were in love with me! You told the Witch Doctor you were in love with me!" the Chipette's sang.
"AAH!" Eleanor cried suddenly.
Jeanette cringed as her sister hit the ground for the 4th time that day. "Its step, step, and then bolt-change" she whispered to Theodore. He nodded before bending down to help the fallen Chipette up.
"Sorry, Eleanor." he whispered.
Eleanor just sighed. She was tired. It was the 6th day of rehearsals and they still couldn't get everything right. If it wasn't Theodor tripping then it was Jeanette. And Alvin was consistently holding out notes even after everyone else had stopped singing. He loved the attention.
"Maybe we should work on the dancing a little more." she suggested dusting off her skirt.
"Fine with me" Brittany said, stepping to the front of the room. She was wearing a brand new pink vest sweat suit and rose tinted sunglasses. Brittany turned her back to the group and quickly went over the steps again.
"It's one- two- three-and- four- shoulder roll- back in place." Brittany said calling out the steps.
Alvin halted to a sudden stop, causing the entire line to run smack into him. "Why did you get to make the steps?" he asked.
Brittany rolled her eyes and turned to face him. "Because you got to pick the song." she said firmly placing her hands on her hips.
"Only because all the songs you wanted were STUPID!" Alvin protested.
"Please, let's just get back to rehearsal." Jeanette suggested.
"Yeah, we've got enough to do as it is. There's no sense in arguing." Simon agreed.
"Fine. Let's try it again. From the top." Brittany was saying as she took her place on the left side of the room.
The chipettes and munks swept into a echo of OOHs and AAHs as they continued with their song. One week till tryouts, Eleanor thought. And we still can't get a thing right!
"Five-Six-Seven-Eight" came Brittany's whispered call.
The Chipette's immediately burst into "OO EE OO AH AH TING TANG WALLA WALLA BING BANG".
Jeanette looked down at her feet. "Step, step, bounce, step, kick, side, roll, shake, shake" she whispered to herself. She looked up from her feet just as she shook right into Alvin.
"Would you watch where you're going?!" Alvin yelled angrily.
Brittany quickly ran in front of Jeanette, blocking her from Alvin's path. "Don't talk to her like that! Only I get to talk to her like that!" she cried crossing her arms. "Who do you think you are!?"
"I think I'm fed up!" Alvin roared. "You GIRLS keep messing everything up!"
"US!?" Brittany screeched. "You're the one with two left feet and a voice that makes dogs howl!!"
"If that's what you think then why don't you just leave?" Alvin yelled.
"We will!!" Brittany shouted. "Come on girls, we don't have to take this." she called already halfway out the door.
The entire house shook as the door slammed behind them. Theodor watched from the window as the chipettes disappeared around the corner.
"Don't worry guys, we don't need them" Alvin remarked crossing his arms as he pouted.
