…~|AATC: Double Trouble|…

…~|Prologue|…

"For the last time, we are going to watch America's Next Top Model!"

"No, we are going to watch the big football game!"

Jeanette chipette sighed aloud. They have been arguing about this 2 hours before the two shows actually aired that night!

Her brunette hair was pulled up into her usual ponytail, which was slightly messy. On this particular day, being the first day of summer and all, she wasn't wearing her regular outfit. Instead she wore a Dark purple vest over top a sky blue and white striped t-shirt along with a skirt matching her vest. Not forgetting her purple glasses, of course.

"But I absolutely need to know who wins!" The auburn-furred chipette shrieked in the others face.

"Well so do I!" The russet–furred chipmunk shouted right back at her.

Alvin and Brittany.

Brittany's hair was pulled up into her usual ponytail, with her fringe the way she liked it. Like Jeanette, her outfit was different from what she regularly wore. A pink tank top with white rhinestones decorating the front of it along with a pair of white short shorts with a belt matching her top is what she chose to wear instead.

Alvin went the "natural" way and stuck with a simple red t-shirt, along with his yellow "A", and his cap.

Simon heard Jeanette sigh, and pricked up his ears. "I bet your enjoying this as much as I am." He said, smirking at the purple-clad chipette.

He was wearing a simple blue t-shirt, just like Alvin was. Along, with his glasses of course.

Jeanette snorted in response. "It used to be entertaining. Now it's just annoying." She said, wrinkling her nose.

Simon laughed lightly. "You couldn't possibly get any truer than that."

"Top Model!"

"Football Game!"

"Could you guys just pick one already! ?" The two arguing chipmunks stopped abruptly and turned towards the spring-clad chipette. Her eye was twitching in both annoyance and a little anger.

Eleanor. Just like her sisters, Eleanor's outfit was different from what she regularly wore. Hair up in their usual pigtails, headband placed firmly on her head, she was dressed in a simple spring-green floral dress, which came to rest above her knees.

"Seriously, guys. You've been arguing about this forever!" Another chipmunk dressed in green, agreed with Eleanor.

Theodore. Just like his brothers, he wore a plain green t-shirt.

Brittany just shook her head at them, "It's not as easy as it seems guys…" She said calmly.

Alvin nodded his head, finally agreeing with her on something, "If you were in this situation you'd understand…"

"But..y-y..al…not easy as it seems? !" Eleanor sputtered, "You're kidding right?"

The previously arguing duo just shook their heads. Before Eleanor could speak another word, Dave, their guardian, walked into the room.

"You guys done now?" He asked, the question obviously directed at Alvin and Brittany.

The two shrugged in response.

Dave put on a small smile. "Well good, because we need to talk…" He said, plopping onto the couch.

Alvin was the first to react. "I swear I didn't do anything! I've been good ALL DAY! And…"

"Calm down, Alvin." Dave said, putting his hands up in a 'chill out' gesture, "This isn't about you…"

"Phew…"

"It's about all of you…"

"Say what?" The six chipmunks chorused.

Dave sighed. "I've got, some very important news for you…"

Simon held up a paw. "Dave. If it's about your emotional backstory again, please go talk to a shrink."

"No…" Dave rolled his eyes. "It's about this summer…"

"What about it?" Eleanor asked, looking up at him.

Deciding not to beat around the bush, Dave blurted out "I'm going on a business trip for the whole summer!"

"WHAT? !" The 6 chipmunks shoot up off their rumps, shocked by the announcement.

"B-but Dave! We were going to go to Hawaii!" Jeanette threw her arms to the side.

"You're just gonna cancel our vacation just like that?" Brittany threw her arms in the air in frustration.

"No, No, No, guys!" Dave said, "You're still gonna go on the vacation. Just…not with me…"

They all tilted their heads as if they were lost puppies. "How?"

"I'll explain the rest tomorrow. But I have to finish packing." The guardian pushed on the coach for assistance to stand up. He looked down at their faces, which had passed the "extremely sad" stage and went into the "mildly depressed" stage, and sighed. "Guys, please bear with me. I have no choice!"

The chipmunks sighed and casted their eyes towards the coach, "Okay, Dave" They said, voices monotone style.

Afraid of making things worse, Dave simply walked away.

"I can't believe he can't come with us…" Theodore commented sadly, dropping onto the couch with the others.

Simon pulled Theodore into a hug. "Sometimes things come up…" He said sadly.

"Well did it have to come up now!" Theodore pulled himself from Simon and started pouting.

Jeanette placed a paw on his shoulder. "It's not like we could do anything to change it…"

"I know…"

Alvin jumped up, drawing everyone's attention. "Now, come on guys. Don't be that way!" He said, "J-just think about. 3 months without Dave! Isn't that great?" He received 5 "Don't even…" looks in response.

The red-clad chipmunk sighed. "Who am I kidding? This is TERRIBLE!" He face-planted onto a nearby pillow.

Nobody argued with him, for they knew it was true. It had remained silent for a few more moments.

Then Brittany spoke. "What did he mean by "just not with me"? Everyone put on their "I'm thinking" faces and started at a random object.

Before anyone could speak, the opening for America's Next Top Model began to play.

"Yes, Yes, YES!" Brittany bounced excitedly in her spot, but then stopped when the channel was suddenly changed. She turned and glared at Alvin, who was standing near the remote.

"Didn't I just say we were watching the football game?" He said is his best "Dave voice".

The others sighed. Some things will never change…

Brittany, dressed and ready for dreamland, was pouting on her bed, refusing to look or speak at anyone.

Alvin, who was also in his bed, chuckled at her behavior. "Sorry Britt. But you know the man of the house always gets what he wants…" He said, triumphantly.

Simon smirked at him. "Could you care to explain why the "man of the house" is 6 inches tall?"

"…Shut up Simon…"

"Come on guys…" Dave had waltzed into the room, "You have a busy day tomorrow. Get some sleep…"

At the sight of his face, a wave of sadness swept over the 6 chipmunks. "Okay…"

Dave sighed for about the 5th time that night. "Good night, guys…" He whispered sadly.

"Good night, Dave…"

The dark-haired man shut the door, standing in the silence.

'I hope Destiny is able to watch all of them and keep them happy…' He thought, trudging to his bedroom.
