Alvin was on fire! The crowd was on its feet, roaring; screaming his name! And the other team… they didn't stand a chance! No way could they break his tight defenses! Not to mention the goalie, who he'd already scored on, not once, but TWICE! There was no doubting it now! Alvin Seville… was the GREATEST!
OK, so the "crowd" only consisted of; one Jeremiah Jenkins, the most uncoordinated guy in the 8th grade class, and Rena Petra who everyone knew had a thing for Simon. And the only ones on the other team were Simon and Rebecca Chandler; Theodore had left awhile ago to raid the concession stand. Oh and there was no goalie… But it's not like those little details even mattered!! They didn't change a thing, Alvin thought with a slick grin.
"Alvin!!!" Simon suddenly called out.
Alvin's thoughts vanished in a puff of smoke. He blinked and looked up, across the field at his older brother.
"It's getting late." Simon reminded him.
"Yeah, can we wrap this up?" Rebecca asked, wrapping one frail hand around her long bleached, blonde hair. She quickly tied it up in a messy bun.
"Fine" Alvin agreed.
He took a deep breath and ran forward, the black and white checkered ball dribbling at his side. Rebecca lunged at him, attempting to steal the ball but Alvin easily avoided her, his baby blue eyes focused one thing. AN EMPTY GOAL
"Simon!!" Rebecca shouted. "Guard the net!!"
The blue clad chipmunk sighed. He hadn't even wanted to play. He'd rather have been at the library, studying with Jeanette…
Alvin grinned as he effortlessly dodged his brother. It was like he wasn't even trying, Alvin thought as he raced towards the goal. "Alvin dips right!" The red clad chipmunk called, commentating to himself. "He slides left!!! Alvin carefully lines up his shot! It's gonna be a good one!!! He aims! AND SHOOTS!" Alvin cried releasing a fiery kick.
The ball soared through the air, heading straight for the net. There was no way he was going to miss this one! It slowly lost its speed and began to fall downwards towards the ground. Just as the soccer ball was about to enter the net…
"INTERCEPTION!!!!" Brittany suddenly roared, kicking the ball out of the way.
Alvin's mouth dropped as he watched the ball gradually slide across the field… before coming to an utter stop just out of bounds.
"What you do that for!?" Alvin demanded.
"Nice try, Alvin!" Rebecca cried.
Brittany Miller's eyes snapped at attention at the sound of her voice. "Who's your new…FRIEND" she inquired.
"Oh, hi" Rebecca said, bolding sticking out her hand to shake. "I'm Rebecca and you are…"
Brittany turned and looked down at the girl's hand with absolute disgust. "Brittany" she answered.
"Hmmm…" Rebecca said nodding, slowly taking her hand away. "You Alvin's friend right?"
"BEST friend" Brittany corrected. "We've known each other for YEARS"
"Oh, um… cool" Rebecca said, quickly recovering from Brittany's diss.
"Yeah… And where did … you two meet?" Brittany asked, first pointing at Alvin and then Rebecca.
"Rebecca's in my science class" Alvin explained. "And… we were just playing a little soccer…" He nodded at the net.
"Alvin's really good" Rebecca said with a smile causing Alvin to blush.
"Yeah, I know" Brittany snapped. "I've known him for years. REMEMBER?"
Rebecca nodded slowly, unsure of what to say.
"Rebecca's pretty good too" Alvin commented. "She's thinking about trying out for the team."
"Oh, is she now?" Brittany asked, narrowing her eyes at the girl.
"Yup, but I probably won't make it." Rebecca said quickly looking down.
"Don't be so modest" said Brittany. "If the boy said you were good, then you must be… good. My sister's the team captain. I'm sure you'll have loads of fun."
Rebecca nodded again as the group slipped into an awkward silence.
"So… um… Brittany…" Alvin finally said. "What are you… um… doing here."
Brittany's gaze instantly softened as she turned to look at Alvin. "I stayed after school and I was wondering if you wanted to walk me home" Brittany explained.
"Yeah, sure" Alvin answered with a wide grin.
They smiled and slowly began walking off the field together. Alvin turned back for a moment. "I'll see you later, Rebecca!" He called over his shoulder.
Rebecca smiled and waved, grinning brightly. "Hey, Simon." she called back, behind her.
The blue clad chipmunk, straightened at the sound of his name. "Hmm… What?" he asked.
"Alvin and Brittany… are they going out?" the girl asked, turning to face him.
"Uh… no. Not really." Simon answered. "I mean they do walk home from school together every day and they hang out a lot in-between class and-"
"So Alvin doesn't have a … girlfriend?" Rebecca asked, cutting him off.
"No, I guess not." Simon answered. "Not officially. Why?"
"Oh, just wondering." Rebecca answered, tapping her index finger against her chin mischievously.

Ok… so what do you think? This is just a story to keep me thinking about the chipmunks until I'm ready to finish another fanfic but I like it! How about you guys? Do you think I should continue? Make changes? Any suggestions would be great. And please be honest! But not HARSH! FLAMES ARE A BIG NO! NO!
btw. how was that soccer action because if you couldn't tell the closest I've come to a soccer game was watching the movie, 'Gracie' last year.
