Hi, everyone! Awesomo3000 here! This is my second AATC story! I thought, with all the hype going around about Chip-Wrecked coming out soon, I should write my own version of it. Here's the first chapter. Hope you like it! R&R!

Chapter 1: Exhaustion

In the city of Los Angeles, California, the bright multi-coloured stagelights flashed in the dark night, as millions of fangirls screamed and cheered in excitement around the humungous stage. Some of the fangirls had red sweaters with a big yellow A on them, some wore green T-shirts with "ROCK ON, THEO!" on them, and the rest had white shirts saying "I'm nuts for Simon!" Other fangirls were dressed up in pink, purple, and light green outfits. They excitedly tried to push through the metal barriers surrounding the stage, as loads of police officers struggled to keep the rabid fangirls back.

Suddenly, the wild cheering died down as the stagelights abruptly shut off. The stage went pitch black, and cloudy steam started to rise out of the floor.

Then, the rock piano began to play, slowly performing four low notes on F, before going down to four low Ds. This was repeated twice as the lights slowly came on again. The cheering rapidly increased as the bright spotlights shone down on six figures looking down at the stage… but they were not people. They were the Chipmunks and the Chipettes.

Alvin, the lead singer of the boys, stepped forward, his black sequin suit and red tie shining in the spotlight. His eyes filled with determination, he lifted his head up towards the spotlight as the steam swirled all around him like mist. All the fans squealed and desperately reached out towards him. Then, his brothers Simon and Theodore singing in harmony, the chipmunk opened his little mouth and began to gently sing:

You were standing in the wake of devastation,
You were waiting on the edge of the unknown,
With the cataclysm raining down,
Insides crying "Save me now",
You were there impossibly alone.

Alvin then got down on his knees and opened his mouth, singing his little heart out into his mouthpiece, as the drummer added a drumbeat into the song:

Do you feel coooold, and lost in desperation,
You build up hooope, but failure's all you've known,
Remember aaaall the sadness and frustration,
And let it goooooooooo,
Let it goooooo.

The millions of people in the crowd cheered at the sound of Alvin's voice. Then, he stepped back into his previous position and Brittany, the leader of the Chipettes, took his place. The fans went silent as she shook her fringe out of her face and began to sing the second verse, Jeanette and Eleanor backing her up:

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel,
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars,
You felt the gravity of tempered grace,
Falling into empty space,
No one there to catch you in their arms.

Do you feel coooold, and lost in desperation,
You build up hooope, but failure's all you've known,
Remember aaaall the sadness and frustration,
And let it goooooooooo,
Let it goooooo.

Then, the electric guitar player participated in the song, accompanying the drumbeat as the fangirls at the front of the crowd screamed in delight. Brittany stepped back to where she was, the lights reflecting off her black leather jacket. Then, all the Chipmunks and Chipettes looked up towards the spotlights shining down on them. Then, spreading their arms out, they all sang the chorus in unison:

Do you feel coooold, and lost in desperation,
You build up hooope, but failure's all you've known,
Remember aaaall the sadness and frustration,
And let it goooooooooo…

Then, Alvin quickly scurried off stage for two seconds. He then leapt back on stage, and skidded across the stage on his knees. The red clad chipmunk strummed away at his red electric guitar, his eyes clenched shut. The sound of the guitar blared out over the sounds of the other instruments as the others sang:

Let it goooooooooo,
Let it goooooooooo,
Let it goooooooooo,
Let it goooooooooo.

Then, Alvin and Brittany stepped forward and sang the last chorus together, as their younger siblings sang in harmony:

Do you feel coooold, and lost in desperation,
You build up hooope, but failure's all you've known,
Remember aaaall the sadness and frustration,
And let it goooooooooo,
Let it gooooooooo.

Then the deafening electric guitar and drum music suddenly stopped, and the quiet, tranquil piano took over. Then the Chipmunks and Chipettes finally concluded their performance, slowly bowing their heads as the piano music faded away.

All the fans roared and screamed so loud, it would have burst their tiny little eardrums. The little chipmunks smiled at each other, and took a bow, causing the fans to cheer even louder. The huge dark blue curtains drew across the stage, ending the concert. The six furry singers then made their way off the stage and back to their dressing rooms to get changed.

"Another great concert, right, guys?" asked Theodore, eagerly in the boy's dressing room, as he took off his miniscule earpiece.

"Absolutely, Theo. That was amazing." Replied Simon, straightening his glasses, "And I have to admit, that was a pretty good song choice, Alvin." He looked at his brother, who was taking off his performance outfit and slipping into his red jumper.

"Yeah. It was fun." Sighed Alvin unenthusiastically, putting on a fake smile. Simon stared at his brother and then at Theodore; he knew how he felt. He and Theodore felt the same way too.

In the girl's dressing room, the Chipettes all sat at their small mirrors, putting on makeup, lipstick, eyeliner, and lip gloss. They were having the same kind of conversation at the boys.

"I have to admit, that was a great performance." Said Jeanette, as she straightened her purple glasses.

"Yeah, you were great, girls." Replied Brittany half-heartedly, taking off her black diamond-covered skirt and replacing it with her pink one. She then went to the mirror to put on her black eyeliner.

"Brittany, are you okay?" asked Eleanor in concern, brushing her blonde hair.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Came the muttered reply. Jeanette and Eleanor looked at their sister. They knew how she was feeling, and they felt the same way as her.

OoOoOoO

Finally, both the Chipmunks and the Chipettes were changed into their normal clothes. But as soon as they exited their dressing rooms, they were blinded by the repetitive flashes of cameras. They sighed and tried to smile as hundreds of fans screamed in excitement and shoved tons of autograph books and cameras in their faces.

"Oh, my God! It's the Chipmunks and the Chipettes!"

"I love you, Theodore!"

"Hey, Jeanette, can I get a picture with you?"

"Alvin, over here!"

"Brittany, you're so hot!"

"Can I have your autograph, Simon?"

"Eleanor, we love you!"

Extremely tired but not wanting to leave their fans disappointed, the six chipmunks reluctantly went around signing autographs, posing for photographs, and being interviewed by the press. A reporter shoved his microphone in Simon's face as he was posing for a picture.

"I'm live from Los Angeles, California, with Simon Seville, a member of the Chipmunks," he said into the camera, before turning to the blue clad chipmunk, "Simon, how well do you think you, your brothers and the Chipettes performed?" Trying to hide his frustration, Simon quickly posed for the fangirl's photo, and then went on to answer the reporter's question.

"Well, in my opinion, I think that we all performed outstandingly well." He replied, speaking clearly into the microphone, "It was excellent. We sang loud and clear, and worked well together to make tonight a concert to remember." Theodore scampered up to Simon and joined in the interview.

"Yeah, Simon's right. And I admit, we all were a little nervous at the beginning, even Alvin," said the chubby little chipmunk, "but we didn't let that stop us. We just carried on, and forgot all about the tension."

"Well put, Theodore. Very well put." Agreed Simon, ruffling his little brother's hair. Meanwhile, Alvin was surrounded by rabid fangirls, busy posing for pictures and signing autographs. A fangirl with long blonde hair ran up to him, excitedly clutching an autograph book and a pen in her hands.

"Alvin, I am such a huge fan of yours!" she cried, kneeling down, "Can I get your autograph?" Alvin grinned at her and took the pen and autograph book from her.

"Yeah, anything for a huge Alvin fan." He responded, signing his name one of the pages. He then gave the book back to her, winking at her as he did so. The fangirl squealed and almost fainted in delight.

"Hey, Alvin. Can I ask you a question?" asked a brunette fangirl from the mob, "What made you decide to sing "Iridescent?"

"Well, I've always been a fan of Linkin Park," replied Alvin, "It's one of my favourite songs by them, and in my opinion, it's quite a touching song that has emotion and soul."

"Alvin, you're so great! You're, like, my favourite singer in the world!" cried a fangirl with red hair, interrupting him. Alvin smiled at her coolly.

"Ah, you have good taste." said Alvin, flexing his little muscles, making her swoon. Brittany looked over at her counterpart and rolled her blue eyes.

Oh, my God, he is so cocky. She thought, Doesn't he think of anyone but himself? Suddenly, the voice of an eager fangirl snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Hey, Brittany! Can I get a photo with you and your sisters?" she asked. Brittany sighed quietly to herself and then smiled at her adoring fan.

"Sure, anything for a fan." She answered kindly. She scurried over to her sisters, trying not to get stepped on by the thousands of fans. Jeanette and Eleanor were surrounded by lots of enthusiastic fangirls, simultaneously asking for autographs and photos. They were both struggling to answer all the tons of questions being thrown at them.

"Er, could you repeat the question? Wait, sorry, what was that? Okay, alright, one at a time." said Jeanette, feeling stressed and frantically trying hard to keep up with the different questions from her fans. Finally, Brittany came pushing through the tall jungle of legs, much to their relief.

"Come on, girls." Said Brittany, "Group photo!" So, all the Chipettes gathered together for the photo as the fangirl held up her camera. Brittany put her arms on his sisters' shoulders. The purple and green clad Chipettes then gave thumbs up and they all smiled as the girl took the picture. She stopped to look at the photograph and smiled with satisfaction.

"Cool! Thanks!" she said, pleased. The fangirl then turned around and disappeared into the crowd to take a photo of the Chipmunks. The three Chipettes were then surrounded by fangirls, eager to ask questions about them.

"So, Ellie, what's it like living with your idols, the Chipmunks?" asked a black fangirl with a ponytail. Eleanor beamed as she remembered Alvin asking her sisters to come and live with them.

"Oh, it's amazing!" she said excitedly, "It's such an honour to live with them! Their house is nice, and their manager Dave is very kind to us."

"And how would you describe the Chipmunks, in your opinion?" asked the fangirl. Eleanor blushed slightly at her question.

"Well… Alvin is quite a good singer, though he is kinda boastful." She said, "Simon is smart and tall, and Theodore is so…" She paused, trying to find the right descriptive words to say to her fan.

"…He's sweet, kind, and really cute too." She said at last. Brittany looked at her younger sister and grinned, as did the black fangirl. Then, a blonde fangirl with a fringe pushed through the crowd and walked up to Jeanette.

"Jeanette," she asked, "Have you asked Simon out on a date yet?" Jeanette's little cheeks burned bright red at the sound of this. She sweated like mad and struggled to find the right answer.

"Er… urm, erm… well, err…" she stuttered nervously. Embarrassed, he scratched the back of her head uneasily, striving to find the right thing to say.

"…That's need-to-know business." She said at last, before sighing in relief.

God, some fans are so nosy. She thought to herself crossly. She didn't like fans who constantly asked about her relationship with Simon, like whether they were going to get married. Then, a fangirl with curly chestnut hair pushed through the crowd of fans and knelt down in front of Brittany.

"Hey, Brittany, can I ask you a question?" she asked. Brittany nodded at her.

"Sure, go ahead." The pink clad Chipette replied.

"Okay, ever since Alvin saved you and your sisters from that pathetic loser, Ian Hawke, are you two… a couple?" Brittany's eyes widened slightly. Jeanette, Eleanor, and the fangirls stared at her, waiting for her answer. Finally, Brittany spoke up.

"No. We're not a couple." She answered, "We're just good friends. I mean, he was brave, coming to rescue us like that. But he's cocky, arrogant, and sometimes rude. He's just not… my type." The chestnut-haired fangirl nodded in gratitude, and then walked away into the crowd. Relieved, Brittany exhaled. It was true; even though she and Alvin were good friends, he wasn't exactly the perfect guy for her.

However, she didn't realise that Alvin had been eavesdropping on Brittany and the fan's question. And he looked deeply hurt at her response. Did Brittany really see him that way? Even after saving her from Ian, she still didn't love him back. She only saw him as conceited and rude. Dejected, and head hung, he wandered sadly away into the crowd of adoring fans.

OoOoOoO

At last, after almost two hours of signing autographs and posing for photos for the fans, Dave finally came to their rescue. He managed to squeeze his way through the sea of fangirls and he walked up to the six chipmunks. And they all looked extremely relieved to see him.

"Dave, thank God, you're here!" cried Brittany.

"It's been incredibly busy here tonight." Said Simon, sounding very worn-out.

"Yeah, I saw the whole thing. That was an excellent concert tonight, guys. Well done to all of you." said Dave proudly. Alvin, instead of boasting about how awesome he had performed like he always did, cut him off.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, great. Now, Dave, can we please go now?" he asked, sleepily. The others nodded in agreement. Dave looked surprised at this.

"What? You don't wanna stay for the interview?" he asked, confusion clearly present in his voice.

"No, thank you." Replied Eleanor, "Can we go home, please?" Dave was surprised but he didn't stop to argue. So he, the Chipmunks, and the Chipettes quickly made their way to the car, trying to avoid the fans and press. Finally, they managed to drive away from the rabid fangirls that chased after the car. They finally gave up and let them drive away into the distance.

The Chipmunks and Chipettes sighed deeply in great relief as the car drove. Dave finally spoke after a minute of silence.

"Guys, what's up?" he asked.

"Nothing. Nothing's wrong, Dave." Replied Brittany defensively, "Why would anything be wrong?" Dave obviously wasn't fooled; he knew something was wrong. He tried again.

"Guys, just tell me, why didn't you wanna stay for the interview?" he asked. The six small singers sighed in exhaustion.

"Because we're tired." Replied Jeanette.

"And exhausted." Added Theodore.

"And worn-out." Said Eleanor.

"In other words, we need a break." Interrupted Alvin. Brittany grinned at her counterpart.

"Funny, I thought you liked having all the attention, Alvin." She joked. Alvin scowled angrily at her, clearly not amused.

"Brittany, this is the first time I don't want attention." He said angrily, "And besides, you're the one who's strutting around through the crowds, saying "Oh, look at me! Look at me, I'm a star!" He was still hurt from her answer to the fan's question. Brittany looked offended by this comment.

"That's not true!" she snapped, giving Alvin a shove.

"Riiiight. Sure it isn't." Replied Alvin, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Before the two could get into another argument, Simon quickly cut in.

"What Alvin means to say is, being a world famous rock star is hard work." He said.

"Yeah, it's concerts, autographs, interviews, 24/7. It's just so tiring." Complained Theodore.

"Yeah, I think that we all deserve a rest." Added Jeanette.

"Absolutely, Jeanette." Agreed Eleanor, "We need a vacation or something like that. We just need to get away from it all." Both the Chipmunks and Chipettes all nodded in agreement. As Dave drove, the six little chipmunks all fell asleep on the way home.

OoOoOoO

It was 10.45pm when they finally arrived home after a long drive. Then Dave gently picked the Chipmunks and Chipettes up in his hands and carefully carried them inside up to their bedroom. He carefully tucked them into their beds, whispered goodnight to each of them, and slowly shut the bedroom door.

He then went downstairs to count all the money they had earned in one year. He got out all the money from each concert and tour, and he added it together. It took him over half an hour, but he finally managed to count it all. He had counted a total amount of eighty thousand, four hundred and seventy three dollars and fifty cents. He slumped back on the couch and sighed deeply.

Now that they mention it, I could do with a vacation too. He thought to himself. With that, he heaved his exhausted body to his feet and made his way to his bedroom for a nice relaxing sleep. His feet felt like weights as he walked. Finally, he slumped down on his cosy bed and fell into a deep sleep.
