Based on characters from Alvin and the Chipmunks. Created and owned by Bagdasarian Productions Inc.
At the Seville home..
It has been a month since Harry discovered that: his brother's sons were The Chipmunks!
He was more surprised; when Vinny,( the beautiful chipmunk lady he rescued). Turned out to be their mother and his brother's widow.
Harry has had mixed feelings since that day.
He is happy that his brother cared for him so much. Alfie had set up a special fund for Harry; upon his return.
Yet the deep hurt he feels... At the loss of his only brother; still lingers in his heart.
His new found family now occupies his time.
Little Theodore joins him for walks in the park or to the ice cream parlor.
He sometimes helps Simon; by taking him to electronics surplus stores.
There he buys the necessary parts; for Simon 's science project.
Alvin is another story!
He often asks Harry about: His father - Alfie, Simon the ventriloquist, and Theodore the clown.
Recalling the life stories of his brother and friends; brought him the most joy.
This meant he was keeping his brother's wishes. Well.. Almost all of them.
There is the matter of Vinny.
When he first set eyes upon her; he was love struck.
Now after finding out that she was Alfie's widow; his feelings are really mixed up.
Harry sees to her comforts and visits her at the Miller's house daily.
He told Vinny that the Chipettes were better suited; in helping her adjust to city life.
He pays Miss Miller for her board and care.
As for her diet. Theodore and Eleanor found some store bought equivalents; to the food she normally found in the wild.
Harry would play a blindfold tasting game with Vinny. This was to see which items would appeal to her.
The foods that she couldn't get from the store; were grown in her own special garden.
He would often join her there every afternoon. They would sit on the porch swing.
He would bring her an edible arrangement of flowers; which they would share.
Vinny loved moments like this. To be with Harry!... It was pure joy for her.
Her eyes lit up when ever she heard his voice. Her rescuer, her hero, the apple of her eye.
"Oh Harry this is so beautiful and so delicious!", Vinny said while munching down on strawberry cut into the shape of a rosebud.
"I'm glad you like it. Soon I'll introduce you to seafood.", said Harry.
"Sea food? Like fish?", inquired Vinny.
"Were chipmunks Vinny. We are almost the same as humans in diet. We are omnivores.", answered Harry.
Vinny looked momentarily uneasy.
"I know that you have many animal friends; but do you personally know any fish, crab, shrimp, lobster,or oyster?", he asked.
Vinny thought about it. Then she said,"None that I know."
Harry smiled at her and said,"I'll set up an appointment with an allergist. We will see if you are allergic. If you aren't we're going to a restaurant."
Harry then kissed her cheek and said " It's getting late. I have to get going home now. I'll see you tomorrow."
He then waved at her as he started walking to the Seville home.
Her smile left her face,and a sad look took it's place.
In the Miller house..
Brittany was very attuned to Vinny's feelings.
This was after Alvin showed his feelings toward her.
She saw the longing in Vinny's eyes after Harry went back to the Seville house. She also heard her cry in her sleep.
" This can't go on much longer girls. It's going to kill her.", she told her sisters.
"What should we do.",said Eleanor; in a fretful voice.
"I think we should consult with our boyfriends.", answered Jeanette.
The Chipettes had made up their minds. They were going to find a way to bring Harry and Vinny together!
