Authors Note
okay so this is what I'm going to count as my first attempt at a story as my last one kinda flopped and was never finished. This story won't be abandoned ever but I will make no promises about uploading regularly as I know I won't, although reviews will encourage me doesn't mean you shouldn't read it though please please do.
disclaimer- I most defiantly do...not own Alvin and the chipmunks or the chippetts
Alvin yawned and sat up stretching his arms slowly he opened his eyes and looked around, noticing that there was no one in the small room that the chipmunks shared with the chippettes he jumped of his bunk and strolled out the door.
"Simon? Theo? Brit? Jannette? Elanore?" He called wandering down the staircase looking for the others. It was then he caught sight of the clock, 8:30! Oh no thought the chipmunk he must of over slept again, the others threatened to just leave him the next time he ignored the alarm but he never thought they'ed actually do it.
"breath Alvin" he muttered to himself, "8:30 means you have 20 minutes to get dressed and get to school that's plenty of time", he couldn't afford another detention for tardiness, not on the last day of term. it was the start of the summer holidays tomorrow and one more detention would result in a precious week of his holiday spent at summer Alvin turned and scampered up the stairs and was about to start desperately searching for a clean hoodie, when he noticed Simon sitting on his bunk with Alvin's hoodie laid out beside him.
"Looking for something?" Asked the bespectacled chipmunk.
"Simon you are a life saver" declared Alvin, jumping up on his bed to hug his brother to which Simon promptly ducked and backed away from him.
"Alvin you know I don't like people in my personal space" he warned. Alvin dropped his arms and stopped trying to hug his brother, despite popular belief Simon was a lot tougher than Alvin, he was the one Alvin from, and although was generally a lot calmer and therefore less likely to start it there were certain things that he could not stand and one of those was, people being in his personal space (with the exception of Theo on some occasions). Although Simon hid this traight well with every one else through his awkwardness and mask of helplessness Alvin had known him far to long and knew him well enough to know what he was really capable of, what he hated, and when not to push his brothers limits.
Alvin turned and pulled on his jumper "so why did you wait for me?" He questioned, smiling as he saw his brother relax like he always did when they were on their own.
"I felt like being nice" Simon answered.
"And..." Questioned Alvin knowing that his brother wouldn't have done that, it wasn't that he didn't care it was that Simon was a very firm believer of if it was your action you had to live with the consequences.
"And? I don't know what your talking about" said Simon putting on his most innocent face.
Alvin rolled his eyes and looked away for a moment trying to think why he'd wait for him. Simon quietly jumped up and off the bed heading to the door knowing his brother would soon work out his true motive, he'd taught him how to think through that sort of thing himself after all. He smiled as he sensed Alvin spin back round to face him, Simon turned and began to walk backwards to see his brothers wide eyes.
"Is the only reason your doing this so I owe you?" Alvin questioned amazed that Simon would go to such an extent.
"Well done " complemented Simon as he spun back round and hopped down the stairs Alvin running to catch up, "but you don't just owe me, think of it like this, if I hadn't been here to give you your clothes and offer you a lift on my bike since you broke yours, you would have been late to school and consequently would have spent a week at summer school. Therefore you don't just owe me, you owe me a week" Simon finished grinning triumphantly at Alvin before jumping up on the window ledge and doing a gracious triple flip to land next to his bike, doing one more flip to end up on is bike, all without loosing his glasses. Alvin attempted to copy this move but only succeeded in a double flip and stumbled on his landing causing him to almost fall into the bike.
Simon started pedalling and his brother ran and jumped on the back quickly wrapping his arms around the other chipmunk. It was only when he was firmly in place that Alvin asked his next question "so why do you want a week of my holiday anyway?" He asked now honestly curious of his brothers motives.
"Oh no reason I just thought is would be a useful bargaining chip at some-point" came the reply confusing Alvin even more.
Alvin shook his head in disbelief and people reckoned he was the scheming and chaotic one, why did they never wonder who he learnt it from? It was at that point they began to draw near school (five minutes early) that Alvin remembered exactly why no one ever questioned Simon, his brother attempted to get of the bike and stumbled falling on his hands and knees, all his earlier grace and confidence gone, causing a wave of laughter among the students surrounding the blue and red hooded chipmunks.
Alvin picked the furiously blushing Simon up off the floor and smiled, Simon returned the smile and, almost whispering, asked " see you at lunch then?" .
"Sure" answered Alvin still smiling at his suddenly awkward brother, Simon nodded turned and rushed of stammering apologies to everyone he bumped into on the way through.
Alvin shook his head and began walking into school thinking about his brother. This was what always happened, Simon was this cool person who Alvin admired and learnt everything off, he was the person who taught Alvin to be the 'cool one', but in truth he was still better than Alvin at most things miles better even. Unfortunately Simons problem was as soon as he was around anyone, but Alvin he freaked and became this nervous wreck who everyone laughed at. Last year when they were shipwrecked and Simon got bitten by a spider his behaviour then was almost exactly what he was like around Alvin, without the stupid French accent and with a little more responsibility and a lot more intelligent. Maybe Alvin could help with that, maybe that could be how he could repay him.
Alvin smiled at is plan but shook himself as he realised he was still outside school with only a minute to get to form, he raced through the doors and headed to class.
well that was the first chapter I hoped you liked it. Oh and for those couple lovers and chippette lovers there will be some of both in the next chapter. Please please review otherwise I just know i'll forget, thanks :D
