Life with the Chipettes 1: Bespectacled Brunette
by ChipetteGirl10
Prologue

All too often in life had there been empty promises for a young chipette clad in purple. The thirteen-year-old girl was sitting at a miniature desk, just her size, in her bedroom, just for her. She was staring at a letter written to her by the boy she called her crush. He had earlier promised to go stargazing with her at the park that night when he suddenly cancelled without any explanations whatsoever. She was upset now and staring disappointedly with an averted gaze at the white 8 by 11 sheet of computer printer paper. Her emerald eyes scanned over the paper several times, reading it more carefully each time. Why, oh why, did he have to cancel their date? Was he not interested in her the way she was in him? Or was he, and just didn't want to let her know? Whatever the cause, it certainly did leave her heartbroken in some form.

The brunette suddenly heard a knock on her white door. She got up and opened it, and was surprised to see her crush's red-clad brother standing there with his hands jammed in his pockets, a forlorn expression worn across his face. The chipette matched his look with a concerned look of her own as the chipmunk in the red hat sat on the edge of her purple-sheeted bed. He cleared his throat, forcing his sapphire-blue eyes to gaze into her green ones.

"Jeanette, there's a specific reason Simon canceled your date," he said slowly. He sighed. "It's going to pain me to say it a lot less than it's going to pain you to hear it…but Simon canceled your date because…," the chipmunk trailed off. Jeanette gazed at Alvin for a long time.

"Why?" she asked. Her heart raced and her mind suddenly fled with images of her and Simon Seville. Alvin finally met her eyes once more as he barely managed to get out the words.

"You obviously know he's tutoring Brittany…"

"No, actually. Why didn't she ask me?"

"She didn't because secretly, she had a crush on Simon and was using that tutoring time to bond with him. Jeanette, what I'm trying to say is that Brittany and Simon are dating and are really in love with each other, like, crazy in love." Jeanette momentarily forgot how to breathe. She glanced at Alvin to make sure this wasn't some cruel prank the red-clad was trying to pull on her. But he seemed completely honest and sad about it. The chipette took a seat next to him and looked him in the eye.

"You like Brittany, don't you?" she asked. Alvin nodded. "Everyday I've thought about asking her out but I never had the courage to do so, and now I won't have the chance to, thanks to her dating my little brother. Do you know how much it sucks to know that the one you like is dating your SIBLING?" he responded, a fist curling. Jeanette nodded. "Tell me about it," the bespectacled purple-wearer replied.

Then a mischievous grin spread over the girl's face, while her eyes twinkled with deviousness. Alvin looked at her. "You know what this means, right?" she asked. Alvin shook his head. "I have no clue what you're getting at." Jeanette rolled her eyes and gave Alvin a punch in the shoulder. "It means, silly, that we have to break them up!" Alvin gasped. "No, a good girl like you wouldn't do such a thing!"

"I may not be as sweet as you think. A boring old caterpillar doesn't stay a caterpillar forever, does it?"

"…Yes?"
