As I said before, this is my first Alvin and The Chipmunks fanfic, and a prequel to my own version of Roadchip that is in the CGI world, and The Pet Rescuers with The Chipettes that is in the cartoon world since I really do love them both! So I hope you have a great Christmas and enjoy the story! Oh and I know that the chipmunks got a dog at the end of Cookie Chomper III, but I wanted it to be an alternate take on it since I can really identify with Alvin. LOL (I love cats too though)

Snow was falling from the sky while all three chipmunks were safe and snug inside their beds fast asleep. That's when suddenly Alvin woke up and slowly turned to look out of the bedroom window. He jumped up out of bed and started jumping up and down. "Simon! Theodore! Wake up!" he cried as Simon gave out a loud yawn and a groan before slowly opening his eyes. "Now what is it?" he asked him before he grabbed his glasses off of the nightstand and pushed them onto his face.

"Oh my gosh! It's nine-thirty! We're late for school!" he exclaimed as he quickly threw his covers off the bed and got up while Alvin simply just laughed at him. "No we're not!" he cried as he pointed out the window. "Look! We don't have any school today! It's a snow day!" he shouted excitedly. "Snow day!?" Theodore cried as he suddenly started to sit up in bed. "Come on guys," Alvin began as he threw off his pajamas and slid his shirt over the top of his head before placing his hat tightly on the top of his head.

"Let's go ask Dave if we can go sled riding." He said but Simon just simply folded his arms and shook his head at him. "I don't think Dave is going to let you leave the house looking like that. It's freezing cold outside." He said. "I just hope that we'll get enough snow for Santa in time for Christmas." Theodore said. "I just hope that Santa will get our letter in time!" Alvin cried. "So Alvin, what do you want for Christmas this year?" Theodore asked him. "Oh good lord here we go again." Simon muttered throwing his arms up into the air.

"Oh come on Theodore, shouldn't it be obvious? A puppy of course! We're about the only ones I know at our school that doesn't have one." He answered. "That is not true Alvin, The Chipettes don't have one." Simon told him. "I know but they don't count because Brittany wants a_" Alvin began. "a cat." He finished sadly as he remembered the kitten that they had once had that had been run over by a car and heaved a heavy sad sigh. "I miss Cookie Chomper." Theodore said as a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Look the truth is that I have to make up for what I did, and besides a puppy listens better than a kitten does." Alvin pointed out. "I miss the days of you wanting a hula hoop." Simon began. "You know that Dave is never going to give into you, you don't even clean your room or do your homework when you're supposed to." He told him. "Ha! We'll see about that!" Alvin snapped before he rushed out of the bedroom and ran downstairs. Dave was sitting in his favorite chair drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

"Oh hello there Alvin, I see you must have found out that there isn't any school today." He said as he turned to him with a grin. "Uh Dave, can I talk to you for a minute?" he began. "Sure, what is it Alvin?" Dave asked him as he ran up to him and jumped up onto his lap. "Well you see Dave, the thing is_" he began as Dave simply just groaned and rolled his eyes. "Oh no, this isn't about that dog thing again is it?" he asked him.

"Come on Dave! Please! I promise that'll I take good care of him,.. or her." He said. "Alvin listen to me, it isn't enough to say that you'll take care of it. You have to show me that you will by starting to act more responsible about your chores and schoolwork." He told his son. "So you mean that if I start showing you that I know how to act responsible then I can have a dog?" Alvin questioned him eagerly. "Then we'll see about it." Dave answered. "Gee thanks Dave! I'm going to go outside and play in the_" he began as he started to slide down off his lap before he turned to look back up at him and chuckled nervously at the expression on his face.

"Err, I mean, I'm going to go clean my room." He said as Dave smiled down at him. "Good, I'm proud of you Alvin. Maybe if you're lucky, Santa will bring you what you want for Christmas after all." He told him. As soon as Alvin had finished cleaning his room all three of the boys bundled up and went outside to play in the snow. Simon started to build a snowman while Theodore laid down on top of his back and started to make a snow angel while trying to catch snowflakes on his tongue.

A sly smirk grew onto Alvin's face as he bent down to make a snowball. He was attempting to hit Simon with it but instead he accidentally hit Brittany as she walked up the driveway wearing her brand new Christmas jacket. She simply placed her hands on her hips and scowled at him. "Oops, sorry." Alvin said quietly while the snow ran off her face. "Hi Brittany!" Theodore called as he sat up and waved at her. "Listen, I'll forget that ever happened because my sisters and I need your help with something." She said.

"Whoa, wait a minute! You're actually trusting Alvin with it?" Simon asked her as she breathed a heavy sigh and lowered her head. "Well yes, I don't have much of a choice. Holly needs us." She said. "Who's Holly?" Alvin asked her. "Follow me and I'll show you." Brittany told him as she led him and the other two chipmunks out into the woods. Sure enough Jeanette and Eleanor were there and a tiny baby reindeer was chewing on a carrot that they had given her. "We're guessing that she must have accidentally left here by Santa while doing his practice rounds." Brittany explained.

"So let me get this straight." Alvin began. "You want us to help you take care of a reindeer!?" he cried. "Well, yes." Brittany answered. "Now listen Brittany, I mean this in the nicest way, but I can't take care of a reindeer! I don't know how! Besides, I'm having enough trouble trying to convince Dave on letting me have a puppy, I don't think he'd be too happy to have a baby reindeer inside the house." He explained when suddenly an idea came to him. "Wait a minute," he began as he grew a thoughtful look onto his face and tapped a finger to his chin.

"maybe we can find her another place to stay before Santa comes back and gets her. Then Dave will see how truly responsible I am." He said. "Yes but there's only one problem with your plan." Simon began. "Where in the world could we hide a reindeer without anyone noticing that she's there?" he asked him. "We could always put her in the garage." Theodore suggested. "No we couldn't, Dave's car is in there." Simon pointed out. "Oh." Theodore simply answered. "I know! How about we put Holly in the shed and say that we're hiding his Christmas present in there?" Alvin questioned him.

"Alright fine, I know that I am going to regret this but fine. Holly can stay in the shed as long as you remember that this is your responsibility Alvin." Simon told him. "Don't worry Simon, I have it all under control." He assured him. "Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of." Simon said with a roll of his eyes.
