had been a long day and the four chipmunks were living in their hollow tree in the forest, Theodore got into his bed and then shot out again as he saw what was outside

"Ok is everyone ready for bed?" a girl chipmunk asked. She was the same height as Alvin, her favourite colour was orange, she had ice blue eyes, she was slim and very pretty, her fur was very fair and a light brown colour, and her hair was in a long plat

"I can't sleep, look outside, it's snowing" Theodore said cheerfully.

"I'm going outside" Alvin said excited.

"No you're not, its dark and very thick" the girl said.

"You can't tell me what to do, I'm the oldest" Alvin replied

"Yeah, well you don't act like it" she added

"Oh really?" he asked sarcastically. Alvin tightened his fists like he was about to fight

"Yeah, this is just so typical of you" she said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Alvin asked.

"Do you really want to be beaten at an arm wrestle?" she asked, tightening her fists

"Stop arguing you two" Simon said then they both calmed down, the girl looked over her shoulder and saw Theodore huddled up in the corner; she walked over to him and knelt beside him

"Are you ok Theo?" she asked, a tear went down Theodore's face

"I don't like it when you fight" he said in a small voice

"Sorry Theo, we'll stop" she said.

"Things have become so much more complicated since mum and dad left" Alvin said

"Well they wouldn't if you just behaved" the girl replied

"Ugh... you sound like them" Alvin said

"Well at least there's some good news" she replied.

"Come on guys, its late" Simon said.

"Simons right" she said, Alvin groaned.

"You are all so boring, it's just a bit of snow and the dark, and it's not going to hurt you" Alvin complained.

"Alvin, it's not safe to be out there in those conditions, dad told me that" Theodore said, everyone but Alvin sighed, Alvin turned to face the girl and they started whispering to each other.

"Alvin, you are the oldest, and everyone, even me believe it or not is counting on you, to look after us" the girl said. Alvin ignored her and turned the other way

"Alvin!" she whispered loudly, he still ignored her and then she grabbed his arm and pulled him out of bed.

"Oww, what was that for?" Alvin asked rubbing his head. The girl raised an eyebrow at him, Alvin sighed

"Fine" he said, the girl smiled and they soon fell asleep.

Just then Alvin's eyes fluttered open; he had tears in his eyes.

"few, just a dream, sort of anyway" Alvin said, at least he didn't get too far into the dream, he already had to live it once, the dream brought back awful memories but Alvin tried to forget, he sat up in his bed and looked at the calendar on the desk, when he saw the date he felt tears come to his eyes.

"1st December" he said, one of the tears rolled down his cheek, he saw Brittany waking up and he quickly wiped his tears away, Brittany stretched and then saw Alvin.

"Morning" she said, Alvin didn't reply Brittany raised her eyebrow and then shook her head, she knew he was never a morning person anyway, soon enough he will be creating trouble for everyone. Simon then also woke up and saw the date, he felt a shiver go down his spine and jumped onto Alvin's top bunk, he knew Alvin would be just as depressed as he was or even worse, it was he fault after all, Brittany stared at them both, okay Alvin was cranky in the mornings but Simon?

"Okay what's going on you two, since when do you sit together and not start arguing?" Brittany asked, they both ignored her and tears filled Alvin's eyes, Brittany decided to just forget about it. Brittany hopped down from her bunk and woke Eleanor up and then Jeanette. Brittany was going to wake Theodore up but if he was going to act strange like Alvin and Simon she didn't really want to, Theodore started to wake up and Brittany sighed.

"Oh great" she mumbled, Eleanor hit her on her elbow.

"Brittany, that's mean" Jeanette said.

"No, you don't understand" Brittany tried to explain, but just then a huge yawn came from Theodore and a huge smile came onto his face.

"Morning" he said cheerfully.

"Morning" Eleanor replied, Theodore sniffed and his smile grew.

"TOASTER WAFFLES!" he screamed, Eleanor then smelt it and they both ran downstairs together hand in hand, Brittany sighed in relief.

"I guess he's not as cranky as his brothers" Brittany mumbled.

"What?" Jeanette asked, Brittany rolled her eyes and pointed at the boys showing absolutely no expression at all, when Jeanette saw she actually felt quite concerned.

"s-Simon?" she asked Simons head then quickly flicked up and looked at Jeanette.

"Are you coming?" she asked.

"Oh erm... you go, I'll catch up" Simon replied, Jeanette nodded and left the room with Brittany. Once they were gone Simon looked at Alvin beside him.

"A-Alvin, are you okay?" Simon asked, Alvin shook his head and sniffed.

"Simon?" Alvin asked, Simon looked at him again.

"Its 7 years today" Alvin said, Simon frowned.

"I know" Simon replied, Alvin felt tears go down his face again.

"I really miss her" Alvin said, Simon hugged Alvin and sighed.

"Me too" Simon replied, by now Simon thought that everyone would be suspecting something.

"Are you coming?" Simon asked.

"No, I need to be alone" Alvin replied, Simon understood completely and started walking down stairs.

I would be like that... if it was me. Simon thought. Simon walked into the front room and sat at his usual chair at the table.

"Morning Simon" Dave said, Simon looked up and smiled a little.

"Simon, is everything okay?" Jeanette asked, Simons head shot up and sniffed his tears away nodding. Dave walked over and handed Simon a plate with two toaster waffles on, Dave looked around the room and thought that is was too quiet, then he realised.

"Where's Alvin?" Dave asked, Simon gulped, it went quiet and everyone's eyes were on him, he had to think of something quick, he couldn't say the real reason, he couldn't ever say it, Simon knew he was a bad liar which was why he didn't do it but this was serious, he had to.

"He's still sleeping" Simon replied quite pleased he actually thought of something believable, but then of course, Brittany had something to say.

"That's a lie, I said good morning to him, and he completely blanked me" Brittany said annoyed, Simon gulped and had to think of another excuse, this was not going to go well.

"Y-yes of course you did but then h-he erm... he fell back to sleep" Simon lied, Brittany half believed him but was still a bit suspicious.

"Oh dear, is he okay?" Dave asked, Simon only nodded.

"well okay, I believe you Simon, but if he's not up by 1pm could you wake him up, because we have a photo shoot for your new CD at 2:45"dave said, Simon again only nodded and started picking at his toaster waffle, it was quiet at breakfast, no one really knew what was happening apart from Simon.
