Summer Fun

Ch. 1

"Kickoff"

Brittany sat in class in deep thought thinking about how long it took her to finally land Alvin in her arms after being his best friend for so long. This would be her first summer as his girl and not just his best friend. She knew that his many fan girls hated her, but she tried not to let it get to her. All she knew was that she would never hurt Alvin like his past girlfriends did. She had Janet asking her why all of a sudden she was hanging around Alvin so much? She wondered if she should tell her or keep it to herself since they would be entering Middle School next year. She thought to herself

'I'll ask Alvin at lunchtime. '

She continued doing her work and thinking. Janet wasn't talking to Brittany at the moment because she was hiding something from her. Janet just kept glaring at Brittany because they were supposed to be best friends forever since Australia.

Vanessa smiled slyly and whispered in Lisa's ear.

'I have an idea, that lil pop tart's best friend is not talking to her right now. Maybe we can get her to become our friend so we can start off Middle School and destroy Brittany for taking Alvin from me.'

Lisa laughed trying not to get caught by the teacher.

"Yea right, you will never get her to turn against Brittany. You'll end up getting hurt if you even try. But you can try that's your problem. Now finish your test before you get put back in the fifth grade."

Finally Brittany finished her test and handed it into the teacher. Then she read her fashion magazine in silence as she waited for class to end. The teacher looked up looking at Vanessa.

"You better not be talking with the test on your desk Vanessa. I will give you an F and make you fail the fifth grade. This test in %80 of your grade young lady! Now no talking!"

Vanessa sighed and went back to her test in silence. Lisa just read her book in silence shaking her head. She finally finished her test and took it to the teacher. She read an article in a teen magazine getting excited about the upcoming concert. She had front seat and back stage passes also. She was so sure that after the concert she would have Alvin back. She smiled slyly flashing the passes in Brittany's face while she was reading her magazine. Brittany looked up at her and said.

"So what you have front row seat and backstage passes. Do you really think that I care? I happen to be in the group too so big whoop you're so lucky. Get over yourself you Alvin groupie."

Finally the bell rang and Brittany met up with her sisters by the lockers. Then the three sisters made their way to the cafeteria where Alvin and his brothers were already sitting with their friends. Alvin noticed Brittany was upset and tapped her lightly.

"Britt babe what's the matter? Do you have something on your mind that you want to talk about? Why is Janet not talking to you, I thought she was your best friend?"

Brittany sighed as she responded to her concerned boyfriend.

"I haven't told Janet that we are together yet and she has been avoiding me since."

Alvin looked at her.

"Britt if you think she can be trusted with knowing that we're together then tell her. Don't keep it from your best friend that has been with you through so much. I told Mike and Jake and they are happy for us. They actually asked me what took so long. She's over by the salad bar Britt go tell her or have her eat lunch with us?"

As Alvin sat back down Vanessa walked over to him flashing her passes and tickets in his face.

"I'll see you at the concert, and we'll see how long you stay with that lil pop tart you call your girl."

Alvin laughed and glared at her.

"Obviously you weren't paying attention to the concert were you? I sang Cry Me a River, so that is my answer to you Vanessa. You will never get me back understood. Now go by your little boy toy and leave me alone. I am with Brittany and that's final now bye."

Alvin's brothers laughed as they ate their lunch in silence. Jake and Mike high fived Alvin and also laughed.

"Wow bro that was cold! We never knew you had that side in you. So glad you are not with that lil groupie anymore. These two months you have been so happy being with Brittany or so it seems?"

Alvin bit his sandwich and smiled.

"Yes I am actually happy that Brittany is finally with me. We do have our disagreements but they rarely last long."

Simon also smiled as Jeanette sat next to him and ate her lunch in silence after he greeted her with a kiss. Theodore and Eleanor sat down and smiled at everyone. I think Janet is joining us? Si can you please pull up another chair so she can join us?"

Alvin was the one on the end and pulled up another chair to let Janet join them for lunch. Janet smiled as she sat down.

"Wow Alvin it took you long enough to ask the girl who was always right for you to be your girl. It was horrible how upset Britt was when you had that lil blonde in your arms instead of her. She was calling me every night asking about you because she missed you so much."

Brittany's cheeks turned bright red and Alvin laughed.

"Really Britt you missed me that much? You should've told me that when we talked on the phone. But no not you pretending you were so happy being with that jock strap Reuben."

Brittany fired back.

"Oh really you were telling me how great Vanessa was and happy she made you feel Alvin. So don't you dare start on me? You were just as bad as me so stop denying it!"

Simon buried his head in his book and sighed drowning out Alvin and Brittany arguing again. Theodore and Eleanor just ate their lunch not paying attention to their siblings arguing. Mike and Jake just sighed.

"Here we go again. You know you two we are going to start our summer vacation with a headache."

Alvin looked up and swallowed his pride.

"Ok Britt you made your point can we please not start our summer vacation arguing? Brittany?"

Brittany looked and smiled.

"Thank you Alvin and deal. We don't start our summer vacation arguing."

Simon and Jeanette sighed with relief and finished their lunch. The nine friends just continued talking amongst themselves. The bell rang and Alvin took the trash and threw it away in the compactor. Then he grabbed Brittany's hand as they made their way to their final class of the day along with his brothers and her sisters. After Alvin finished his exam he opened his comic book and read it in silence as everyone else finished their tests. Simon was the next one to finish and just sat and read his book. Jeanette was next and also read a book as she waited for the whole class to finish the test. Brittany was the next one to finish her test and read a teen magazine about the upcoming summer tour thinking if she and Alvin would have anytime together to spend during their tour.

Jeanette was just happy that Simon was finally holding her in his arms instead of Gillian. Eleanor was just relieved that she finally had Theodore in her arms. When everyone finished their tests the teacher took out the things for the end of school year party. The Chipmunks and Chipettes chose a table in the back to sit at during the party. Brittany sighed and sipped her iced tea. Alvin turned to her.

"Britt we have days off during our tour. We will spend time together stop worrying please. I think Dave is letting us share hotel rooms like he did in Switzerland."

At that she looked at him.

"Alvin we were just friends back then, we are a couple now it's completely different."

Alvin responded after he sipped his Gatorade.

"What is so different Britt? Exactly what are you worried about anyway? Nothing is going to happen between us. You listen to the cheerleaders too much I swear. We are only eleven. Besides all six of us are going to share the hotel room. We aren't going to be alone."

At that she sighed with relief and ate her food and smiled after she swallowed. Finally the report cards were issued and Alvin opened his carefully hoping he made it to the sixth grade and not stuck back in the fifth. He smiled when he saw promoted. He was going to sixth grade with his brothers, his girl and his brothers' girls. Simon looked at his brother.

"What were you worried about Alvin? You were doing fine this year. How could you even think you would be left back? You would've been told if you were getting left back. At least we will be home for a month of our summer vacation or is it only two weeks?"

Alvin read the tour schedule.

"Si we have two weeks until we leave for our tour, I wish it was a month. That's just the life of rock stars it's the curse of stardom I suppose. I wouldn't it trade it for anything and neither would you, Theodore, or the girls we love our fans."

Brittany rang in.

"Yes we surely do love our fans Alvin. At least we have two weeks before we go on tour. What are we going to do for two weeks any ideas?"

Alvin smiled at her.

"We will figure something out Britt. We always do. I know I am sleeping in till like noon. Even if you are my girl do not wake me up. Trust me you will hate me if you do. Just warning you babe."

At that Simon laughed.

"Yes Britt it's true you will definitely hate him if you wake him up. As for me and Teddy we are early risers unlike Mr. Popularity over there."

Alvin glared at his brother.

"You are looking to get pounded Brainiac."

Simon laughed.

"I am younger than you my job is to make your life miserable big brother."

Theodore ate and said nothing as Brittany watched the clock hoping school would end soon. Jeanette rang in.

"Brittany also sleeps until noon when we have no school. She will kill anyone that wakes her from her beauty sleep. At least the six of us are now together after so long."

Simon nodded his head in agreement.

"Yes indeed Jeanette. Two more minutes and summer break officially begins."

The bell rang and they all exited the school Brittany looked for Janet and scratched her head.

"Alvin didn't Janet say she will walk home with us after school today? Where is she?"

Alvin looked around.

"Maybe she decided to walk home alone? Britt here she comes will you please calm down. You are driving me nuts I swear."

Janet caught up with them.

"Sorry it took me so long my teacher had to fix a grade of mine she forgot to add in my extra credit work. I am joining you all in sixth grade next year. Brittany why were you worried? I told you I would walk home with you all today? Why don't we all meet up at the park in a few hours? Maybe for a friendly game of ball? You all are welcome to come in for a drink you know?"

Alvin looked as he responded.

"No it's okay Janet, we will see you and the others at the park in a few hours. I am going home to take a nap."

Mike laughed.

"Wow somebody is starting his summer break early? Okay Janet we will see you at the park in a couple of hours. Hey are your sisters coming in this summer?"

She laughed.

"They live with me silly. They just didn't feel like going to school today they already know they made it to the sixth grade they are both A students."

At that her sisters came out and looked at him shaking their heads.

"Wow Mike how long have you known us? We'll see you at the park in a few hours."

He walked with Alvin and the others until they came to his house.

"Okay Al see you all in a few hours. Jake left early because he had a doctor's appointment because he wants to try out for basketball in the sixth grade and needed a physical."

Alvin looked.

"Oh okay see you at the park in a few hours Mike. Don't forget to tell Trevor we are playing a ball game against you and the others bye Mike."

Mike smiled.

"No problem Al I'll call him see you in a bit."

As they walked home Brittany asked.

"Alvin are you really going to take a nap when we get back to your house? You don't seem sleepy."

He smiled at her.

"Yes Britt I am, why are you asking? Did you want to come over after school?"

She responded.

"Yea I was going to ask you, but if you're going to take a nap I'll go over to Ms. Miller's until we go to the park later."

He just looked at her.

"Britt you are allowed in our room while I sleep. Simon and the others will probably watch a movie until we go to the park anyway. I just have a headache that will not go away that is why I am taking a nap."

She looked at her boyfriend.

"Okay Alvin I'll join them and watch a movie while you sleep but I am sitting on your bed."

He shook his head as he used his key and unlocked the door.

"Okay Britt that's fine with me. Come on then."

They all entered the house and Alvin unarmed the house alarm. Then he made his way upstairs after he took an aspirin for his headache. Simon checked the answering machine and the five of them went up the stairs into the boys' room. Then Simon put a movie on as Alvin drifted off to sleep. Brittany took off her shoes and sat at the end of Alvin's bed watching the movie as her sisters cuddled up to his brothers and watched. Then she sighed as she watched his brothers holding her sisters and shook her head. All she could do was watch her boyfriend sleep as her sisters were being held by Simon and Theodore. She watched as the four of them drifted off to sleep in each other's' arms and sighed. Alvin woke up and saw how upset Brittany was and asked.

"Babe what is the matter? Come up here and lay by me, you are my girl now. Why didn't you just ask if you can lay next to me? You know I wouldn't mind. We aren't meeting our friends until six by the park. Come and take a nap with me Britt?"

She went up to the top of the bed and rested her head on Alvin drifting off to sleep soundly. As she slept he brushed her hair back and kissed her forehead as he held her close and then he drifted back off to sleep. Dave came home and checked on his boys and saw them holding the girls and covered all six of them after he turned off the movie. Then he lightly tapped Alvin.

"What time are you all getting up? Aren't you going to spend your first day of summer vacation with your friends?"

Alvin opened his eyes and responded as he yawned.

"We are getting up at six to meet our friends at the park. I had a really bad headache when I got out of school today and decided to take a nap for a few hours. See you at six Dave. Yes I know the door stays open."

He drifted back off to sleep. Then Dave went downstairs and started working on songs for their upcoming summer tour. Around six o'clock Dave woke them up to meet their friends at the park. Brittany woke up and entered the bathroom to wash her face and get ready for the ball game against their friends. When everyone was ready they all walked toward the park.

In the meantime Janet and her sisters arrived at the park around six after six and were approached by Vanessa and her posse. Vanessa looked at Janet and glared.

"Some best friend that lil pop tart is to you. She won't even tell you who her new boyfriend is. Why don't you join us and we will all take her down in Middle School. Then her new boyfriend will dump her and we can all watch her cry her eyes out in front of the entire student body."

Janet glared at her and yelled.

"I already know who Brittany's new boyfriend is and refuse to join your little posse! Now either get out of my face or I swear you will see my Australian temper you blonde pig! I am the one who told Alvin you were cheating on him with Brittany's ex. That is how you two got caught and you are just mad because Alvin told you to Cry Him a River he's with Brittany now deal with it and grow up you Groupie! I would never turn against my best friend. She is finally with the one she belongs with! Now get out of my face!"

Vanessa went to punch Janet and she grabbed her fist and knocked her on the floor breaking her nose and getting the blood on her shirt. Her sister Beth tried to get Janet off of Vanessa and got knocked into the tree. Then Elsa also tried to get Janet off of Vanessa and failed once again. Brittany heard screaming and ran letting go of Alvin's hand. The others ran after her. Brittany saw Janet beating up on Vanessa and was able to pull her off of her. Vanessa got up and glared at Brittany.

"I'll get you in Middle School you lil pop tart! Don't think I will stop at nothing to get Alvin back in my arms. You better watch your back I will make your life miserable!"

Brittany looked at her and grabbed her shirt glaring dead in her eyes.

"I dare you to try and make my life miserable! You think Janet damaged you, try and come after me and you will see exactly how much of a pop tart I am! Now get out of my face and get to the doctor and get your nose checked! Did I stutter! Now get lost Vanessa you aren't wanted here!"

Vanessa and her posse ran off as she held her nose still bleeding from Janet punching her. Jeanette helped up Beth and Eleanor helped Elsa up. Brittany looked at Janet.

"Come with me to my house and I will get you a shirt to wear while I wash your bloody one. Alvin I'll be right back don't start without us. "

Alvin nodded.

"No problem babe we'll be at the field waiting for you two to come back. Come on everyone the others are already at the field."

After about fifteen minutes Brittany returned with Janet and they played their game until it was time for them to go home when it got dark. Throughout the entire game Mike stared at Beth and almost got hit in the head with the ball because he wasn't paying attention to the game. Jake ran in and caught the ball looking at him laughing.

"Man bro you really got it bad! Why don't you ask her out on a date if you like her so much? You are hopeless I swear! Well we lost against the Chipmunks and Chipettes. It will feel so good to sleep in this week coming up no school for two months."

Beth saw Mike staring at her and walked over by him smiling.

"Mike if you like me then ask me out. Why don't we go on a date with Alvin, his brothers, and Brittany and her sisters? My sister Elsa was already asked out by Trevor not too long ago. My sister Janet will probably end up with Jake."

Janet overheard and crossed her arms.

"Really now, how do you even know that Jake likes me."

Alvin laughed.

"Hmm why don't you see where his eyes are if you don't think he likes you Janet. Its fine with us for you all to join us we are just going to a movie no big deal really. Besides he told me that he has liked you as long as I liked Brittany and was in denial like I was."

Brittany laughed as she grabbed Alvin's waist and he held her hands by his waist.

"I can't believe you just admitted it Alvin. I am so glad I have you now. Your phone is ringing Alvin I think dinner is ready let's get home. There goes my phone too. Come on Jean and Ellie we have to head home dinner is ready."

Brittany answered her phone.

"Yes Ms. Miller we are on our way home, we just have to drop off our friends at home and we will be home see you in a bit."

She hung up her phone and they all headed down the street toward their houses. After they dropped off Mike, Jake, Trevor, Janet, Beth, and her sisters Alvin and his brothers walked the girls to their door and kissed them goodnight. Then they all headed home to eat their dinner and stay up and watch a movie with Dave before they headed to bed.
