"Alvin…" Simon sighed, "how did you lose your job AGAIN?" he emphasised.

"I… err… crashed the company van…" Alvin answered, hugging his sleeping bag. "It doesn't matter, Si… were only asking to stay in your spare room for a little while." He smiled. Brittany gently rocked the four baby chipmunks witch didn't want to stop crying.

"you're my brother." Simon answered, "and I'm not letting a lady and four children out on the street." Brittany smiled as Simon invited them inside.

"Awe Brittany you had a fourth?" exclaimed Jeanette.

"Yes Jean we did!" she smiled, "Alvin junior, Brittany junior, Jeanette junior and Simon junior!" she giggled, "the next two are going to be called Theodore and Eleanor junior!" Jeanette sighed and handed her sister a cup of tea.

"that's… nice…" she smiled.

"How's my little bro doing?" patronised Alvin, slinging his arm round Simons shoulder and smiling like an idiot. Alvin was an idiot, though Simon.

"Your only five minutes older than me, Al." he pushed Alvin's arm off him. "and at least I have a job… and only one kid." Simons house was spacious and posh. The walls were pale blue and he had a lounge/kitchen area. Theodore was visiting this week, and was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

"Theo?" Simon yelled. "make dinner for two more…" he sighed. "our jerk brother and his girlfriend just showed up."

"its great to see you guys!" gasped Eleanor as she ran down the stairs, almost knocking over a pot plant. "oops!"

"How's things with Theo..?" giggled Brittany as Jeanette jr. started to cry again.

"I saw the most amazing green bridal dress today!" Eleanor beamed.

"Dad?" asked a little boy, looking at Simon.

"Yes Michael?"

"do you think I should do the quantum theory of the universe or the scientific explanation of evolution for my class science project?"

"Its your choice, son." Smiled Simon.

"Dinners ready!" smiled Theodore. He served Eleanor first, then Brittany and Jeanette. Finally Simon, Alvin and then poured a huge scoop of chicken and gravy onto his own plate. "dig in! its Theodore's special Sunday dinner!" announced Simon.

"cheers!" they all said with their glasses of wine, and Michael with his orange juice.

"Nice to see you Alvin, Brittany." Theodore asked politely. "I hope you heard we are getting married!" he hugged Eleanor.

"yeah… sure we did…" said Brittany, pouring herself another glass of wine.

After dinner, Brittany and Alvin were talking nonsense and laughing like crazy.

Simon snatched the bottle away before Alvin could have another glass.

"Hey… wha-what was that f..f…for…?" grumbled Brittany.

"you two have had enough for tonight."

Jeanette picked up the four baby chipmunks as Simon led Alvin and Brittany into the rather crowded spare room. Alvin protested, but of course collapsed straight on the bed. Simon realised they had only had two or three glasses. Alcohol affected chipmunks very quickly.
