Three new chipettes enter West Eastman with the other twenty-four chipmunks and chipettes. While Brittany worries about the relationships of her, her sisters, and the chipmunks, she doesn't realize that these new girls are keeping a dark secret…CGI! There will be OC's! They are about thirteen in this fanfic instead of the normal CGI age.

Chapter One: New Girls Means New Bullies

"Brittany!" a voice yelled from down the hallway.

Thirteen-year-old seventh-grader Brittany Wilson whirled around to see her best friend Nicki Wallington running to her.

"Hey Nicki, what's up?" Brittany asked. "Did you hear?" Nicki responded. "About what?" Brittany said. "Okay, so you didn't hear. There are three new girls and they're chipette triplets just like us!" Nicki said very quickly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Say that again, but ten times slower," Brittany said. "There are three new girls. They're triplets. And they're chipettes," Nicki said.

"Go on…," Brittany said. "Apparently they found out about the twelve of us girls and the twelve boys…you thinking what I am?" Nicki said.

"Twelve boys, three of them…and apparently all of you guys turned out to look like us, so they must…and four boys will be attracted to one of the girls," Brittany finished.

"YES!" Nicki said. She grabbed Brittany by the shoulders and shook her. "AND DON'T WE LIKE THEM?" she yelled. "Shut up! We don't want the whole school to know!" Brittany hissed.

The two made sure no one heard them.

"Look, I'm sure they're nice and would respect that we like our counterparts. I mean, THEY'RE OUR COUNTERPARTS!" Brittany said. She shut her locker. "Nicki, there is nothing to worry about."

At that moment Alvin and Jeff walked up to them.

"Have you guys met the new girls?" Jeff asked.

"We have," Alvin said before they could answer.

Nicki glanced at Brittany. "Nothing to worry about?"

"We should introduce you guys!" Jeff said, grabbing Nicki's wrist. Nicki pulled back.

"We'll meet them later," she said. "You girls think we like them?" Alvin asked.

"Yes," Brittany answered flatly.

"Well we'll prove you have nothing to worry about if you just come on!" Alvin said.

He and Jeff grabbed Brittany and Nicki's wrists and pulled them over to where the new girls were.

"The one in the center is Arabella, the one on the right is Sabrina, and the one on the left is Tabitha," Jeff explained.

Arabella had a jean skirt with a scarlet belt, along with black studs and a black oval buckle with little diamonds. Her shirt was a scarlet tank-top and a thin, silky white top that you could see the tank-top through, and a white leather jacket. She wore scarlet sandals with diamond accents. Her hair had a scarlet headband with a black bow on it and was let down. Her hair was blonde, and her eyes were aqua.

Sabrina wore a sea-green tennis skirt and a light-sea-green t-shirt with very short sleeves and a keyhole at the neckline. Then she had a black nylon warm-up jacket with light-sea-green double-stripes going down the sides and the sleeves. She wore black sneakers with light-sea-green double-stripes. Her laces on the sneakers are light-sea-green. Her hair was in a loose bun with three small strands of hair falling out, to make it look more stylish. She tied it with a black bow. Her hair was light brown and her eyes were brown. She wore light-sea-green-rimmed glasses.

Tabitha wore a light-neon-blue tank top with a bright, neon yellow unzipped hoodie over it. Her skirt was a white jean skirt with a light-neon-blue belt and a neon yellow oval belt buckle. She wore light-neon-blue ankle boots with a neon yellow layer of boot material overlapping the top of the boots. Her hair was in low pigtail braids, with hair hanging in her right eye. Her hair was chestnut/reddish and her eyes were hazel.

The new girls turned around to face the four.

"Oh, hi!" Arabella said to Alvin and Jeff. "Hey," Alvin and Jeff replied. Arabella looked past them.

Her smile faded just the tiniest bit. "Who are they?"

"That in pink is Brittany and the one in the lighter pink, or rose, is Nicki," Jeff said. "I can tell pink from rose," Arabella said with a smile.

She stuck out her hand to Brittany and Nicki.

"I'm Arabella," Arabella said.

"I'm Brittany and that's Nicki," Brittany said.

"What a pleasure to meet you…," Arabella said.

The bell rang.

"Well, gotta go!" Arabella said sweetly. She snapped her fingers and she and her sisters walked to their first class.

"I don't trust her," Nicki said to Jeff as soon as Arabella was out of earshot. "Or her sisters."

"Relax, Nicki," Jeff said. "I don't like her."

Alvin said nothing more and walked to class. Jeff, Brittany, and Nicki glanced at him.

"He likes her…," Brittany mumbled.

Jeff and Nicki glanced at each other. "Crud."

Simon, Jeanette, Max, and Leah walked into chemistry class that day to see three new girls.

Simon immediately noticed the tallest chipette, or in other words, Sabrina.

"What do you think about it?"

Simon snapped out of his daze to see Jeanette staring at him.

"Huh?" Jeanette rolled her eyes. "About the fact that the three new girls also happen to be chipettes."

"Well, uh…since eighteen of our friends are talking chipmunks, not too odd…"

"It's just really weird, I thought we were the last of our kind…," Leah said.

"No, no, no, no. It's much more complex than that," Max said. Leah stared at the floor.

"Oh."

Simon fell back into his daze, ignoring the conversation. He sighed at Sabrina's glasses.

They were gorgeous to him. Jeanette caught his gaze. "Simon?" she asked. Simon shook his head.

"Huh?"

Jeanette just sighed and took out her books.

"What's wrong Jean?" Simon asked. "Nothing…," Jeanette responded. She glanced at Sabrina, and her ears fell.

This time, Simon caught her glance. "Are you jealous of Sabrina?" Jeanette glanced at him. "How do you know her name?"

"Met her this morning…"

Jeanette sighed. "Maybe just a little."

"Jeanette, I don't like Sabrina. I never will! We'll always be with each other," Simon said.

But for some reason, Jeanette didn't trust his words for the first time in her life.

It was now lunch, and everyone was at the outdoor cafeteria tables.

Theodore was walking with Eleanor to a table when Tabitha approached them.

"Hey Theodore!" she said. She glanced at Eleanor. "Eleanor." Only Eleanor noticed a slight drop in pitch and her smile slightly fade.

"Hi Tabitha!" Theodore said.

"Wanna sit with me at lunch?" Tabitha asked. "I would appreciate it, and Simon and Alvin are."

Theodore looked at Eleanor. "Wanna come?"

Eleanor glanced at her sisters, Tammy, and her sisters desperately waving her over.

"Go on without me, Theodore." Eleanor ran over to her sisters and their best friends.

"What's going on guys? Why are Alvin, Simon, and Theodore with the new girls?" Eleanor asked.

"Because they like them…," Jeanette answered, harshly stabbing her fork into her salad.

"It's true," Jeff's voice came. The girls turned around to see Jeff, Max, and Scott.

"Why didn't they say no?" Eleanor asked.

"Because," Tammy began. "We didn't want to witness it from right there."

"Witness WHAT?" Eleanor asked. "Well, let ME explain like this," Brittany said. "Alvin, Arabella, and I ended up in the same class. Arabella and Alvin were just about oblivious to my presence. So, when I sat down, they sat right behind me," Brittany began.

"What's so bad about that?" Eleanor interrupted. "You didn't let me finish. When class began I was working silently to myself when a crumbled note landed on my desk. I opened it and found out it was from Arabella. Well, she told me to back off from Alvin. She said he was going to sit with her at lunch, and I better stay away…or there would be severe consequences," Brittany said.

"No way!" Eleanor gasped. "I got it even worse…," Jeanette said, glaring at Sabrina. She grabbed her fork and lifted her arm, and then, with her other arm, forced it back down.

"Easy Jeanette, bad thoughts lead to bad decisions…" (Did someone say iCarly line? Freddie's maybe?)

Everyone blinked at her slowly. Jeanette caught their stares. "Um…oh yeah. Well first, I caught Simon staring at Sabrina. I asked him a question, and his reply was 'huh?'. So, I repeated the question and he gave me the first thought that came to his head. Then he went back to staring at Sabrina. I got his attention, and he asked if I was jealous of Sabrina. I answered yes, and he said he would never like her. For the first time ever, I felt I couldn't trust him. So I went to the girls' bathroom. Sabrina followed me. She told me to back off and shoved me into a wall. I went to the nurse after that, and made up a lie so I wouldn't get her into trouble. That would just make her madder," Jeanette said.

"Tabitha ran up to Theodore while we were walking here and asked him, right in front of me, if he wanted to sit with her at lunch and that Alvin and Simon were. When she glanced at me, her smile slightly faded. I told him to go without me, and that's what led up to this," Eleanor said.

"The new girls are mean," Scott said. "We're dealing with some pretty tough chipettes," Jeff added.

"They're probably a little insecure," Max said. Everyone stared him down.

"IT'S A THEORY!"

So now that you've seen the new girls' personalities, let's get the EXACT personalities.

Arabella: Extremely smart, cunning, charming, and not at all a "blonde," so to speak.

Sabrina: Dangerous, smart, quick, sneaky, "vicious,"agressive (far more agressive than cartoon Brittany), and good at acting innocent.

Tabitha: Smart, clever, flexible, sporty, and "cute."

What do you think is the dark secret these girls are keeping? No, they're not evil and don't have magic. *cough* Vampmunk. Vampette. *cough*
