Chapter 1: We want to do something else
A/N Ok I might get reviews along the lines of: "Hey you stole alvinnascar5's story". Well no I haven't; I got his permission to use a similar plot before writing this. The chapter will be similar to his as I need something to lead into the main part of the story. I am a big fan of Formula 1 and the Chipmunks so why not combine them into a story. This might become a series if I get enough interest. You might find that the Chipettes become anchors throughout this is because no female drivers have competed in F1 in its 59 year history (yeah I decided to start with 2009 season).
In the huge city of Los Angeles, the home of the Chipmunks and the Chipettes, millions of fans were gathered around the stage, cheering like crazy with the bright multi-coloured stage lights moving around, as the fans were all waiting for the six chipmunks to appear. They were all wearing their usual attire for the concert. Some wore red, blue, and green sweaters/shirts to show they were fans of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. While others wore pink, purple, and green shirts/dresses to show that they were fans of Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor. The six chipmunks were getting ready backstage.
"Well, you guys, this is it. This is our last show of the year. We are going to give those fans a show they won't forget. How's the crowd, Simon?" asked Alvin as he put on his red sequin suit and black tie. Simon went and peeked out for a second then came back in.
"Standing room only." said Simon.
"Great!" Alvin said with excitement in his voice.
Simon then finished putting on his blue suit and black tie. Theodore wore the same type of suit, only his was green. The girls were dressed in their sparkling dresses. Brittany was dressed in her pink dress, Jeanette was in her purple dress, and Eleanor was in her green dress.
"Okay, guys, you all ready to do this?" asked Dave.
"You bet we are, Dave!" said Alvin.
One of the announcers for Fox came out onto the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen are you ready to have some fun tonight?" the announcer asked the huge crowd. The crowd responded by cheering as loud as they could.
"Everyone, the Chipmunks and the Chipettes are all backstage. Let them know you are ready to see them and that you're all ready to have some fun tonight!" shouted the announcer. The crowd cheered loud enough for all six chipmunks to hear them.
"Well then, allow me to introduce to you for the last time this year: Alvin,
Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor!" shouted the announcer as he walked off the stage.
The crowd cheered loud and the six chipmunks heard them.
The stage went pitch-black and that was their cue.
"Go get 'em, guys." said Dave with a smile. The six chipmunks ran onto the stage as steam rose.
The music started and Alvin began to sing into his chipmunk-sized microphone he and the others wore as the lights came back on:
Chipmunks:
[Chorus:]
Holiday
Far away, to stay
On a Holiday, far away
Let's go today
In a heartbeat!
Heartbeat, heartbeat
Chipettes:
Don't bother to pack your bags
Or your map
We won't need them where we're goin'
We're goin' where the wind is blowin'
Not knowin' where we're gonna stay
[Chorus]
Simon:
We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
Alvin:
(On the road with Kerouac)
(Sheltered in Bivouac)
In free verse
(On this road we'll never die...)
Chipmunks and Chipettes:
Let's go away for a while
You and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
[Chorus]
Simon and Jeanette:
We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
Alvin:
(On the road with Kerouac)
(Sheltered in Bivouac)
Simon and Jeanette:
In free verse
Alvin:
(On this road we'll never die...)
Alvin then strummed his guitar and then the drummer hit the cymbal one last time, ending the song. The six chipmunks then ended by doing an exciting pose after the song ended as the pyros went off signalling the end of the tour. The crowd cheered louder than they ever cheered before when all six chipmunks took a bow before the curtain closed. The curtain closed ending the show. The fans then headed to the entrance of the building the six chipmunks would exit from so they could take photos and get autographs. The six chipmunks headed backstage to get changed.
"Alright, girls, we will meet back in the lobby in 15 minutes." said Alvin.
"You got it." said Brittany.
After 15 minutes the Chipmunks were in the lobby ready to give autographs to the fans as they exit the arena.
"Another tour done, you guys performed very well." said Alvin, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice.
"Yep, that was great; I'm surprised you aren't being as boastful like you always are after each show." said Simon.
"I know that, Simon. Okay? Look Simon. I'm tired, worn out, and want to go to bed!" said Alvin, a little bit more sternly.
"Okay, okay, calm down. Once we finish with the photos, autographs, and interviews, we can go home." said Simon.
"I'm with Alvin. I want to sleep too."
With that, the boys finished putting on their trademark sweaters and went to meet the girls.
The girls were doing the same thing as the boys. They were getting changed and getting ready for the autograph, interview and photo sessions.
"That was a great show we all did, wasn't it? Those fans loved it! Now I'm tired and ready to crash on my bed." said Brittany sounding exhausted.
"I see." said Jeanette, a little suspicious of how Brittany talked when she mentioned going to bed.
"I'm with Brittany. I'm tired too." said Eleanor.
With that, the girls finished getting changed and went to meet up with the boys.
The six chipmunks met in the lobby and then headed towards the front door, where a bunch of fans were excitedly waiting. The six chipmunks then opened the front door, and when they did, they were met with repetitive flashes from the cameras, and lots of fans held out autograph books and pictures they wanted to get signed. Tired, but not wanting to leave the fans empty-handed, the six chipmunks happily went around signing autographs and taking photos with the fans a for nearly about 2 hours.
2 hours later, Dave finally showed up and came to pick up the six chipmunks.
"Great job, you guys. Way to keep yourselves up for the fans. I'm proud of you." said Dave.
"Thanks Dave." said Theodore.
"You guys ready to head home?" asked Dave.
Without saying a word, the six chipmunks immediately headed towards the car and got in.
"I'll take that as a yes." Dave said to himself as he walked back to the car. The six extremely tired chipmunks got buckled in as Dave got into the driver's seat, buckled in, and started the car. Alvin yawned as he rubbed his eyes to try and stay awake. Dave heard him.
"You alright back there, Alvin?" asked Dave, keeping his eyes on the road in front of him.
"Tired." said Alvin.
"I know. Good thing it was our last show of the year. You guys deserve a long rest. You all earned it." said Dave.
"Thanks Dave." said Simon as he yawned quietly.
Then, after an hour and a half drive home, Dave, the Chipmunks and the Chipettes all finally walked into the comfort of their house at 10:45pm and the boys went upstairs to their bedroom to get changed into their pyjamas while the girls went into the bathroom to get changed. Alvin then went down to get a cup of ice-cold water to drink because he was feeling warm after the show and needed to cool down.
"Dave?" asked Alvin as he got a few ice cubes from the freezer and put them in his cup.
"Yes, Alvin?" asked Dave.
"We've been thinking about this, and we want to do something else for a year." said Alvin as he finished filling his cup with water. He then sat on the couch and took a sip of water.
"Aaaaah, much better" The other five chipmunks nodded in agreement to what Alvin said about wanting to do something else.
"Really, like what?" asked Dave.
"I don't know. But we just want to do something else for a change that can make us even more popular." said Alvin.
"He's right, Dave. I want a break from this too", said Theodore as he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
"Don't worry, you guys. I'm sure something will come up, now you all need to get to bed. Alvin, finish your water and then head to bed. It's late and you all have school tomorrow." said Dave.
"Yes, Dave", said Alvin.
Alvin finished drinking his water, put the empty cup in the dishwasher, went upstairs to the bathroom to brush his teeth, and then went to bed. The six chipmunks said goodnight to each other, and then peacefully fell asleep. Dave peeked in and smiled at the sight before him. He turned out the lights and went into the living room.
"Alvin's right." Dave said to himself quietly.
"It would be nice to do something else for once, but what can we do?" said Dave.
He then closed his tired eyes and he fell asleep on the couch, exhausted.
The song was 'Holiday' originally by Weezer, rewritten for Chipwrecked.
Alvin actually wants to do something else for a change? Wow. I wonder what it will be. That is for me to know and for you to find out. Read and review!
