­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­I'm back with a story that came to me in a dream! The type of story that only bored high school students could come up with. The type of story that people who hate the Twilight series would write about. The type of story that you should start reading instead of reading this thing because it is no longer of any importance to you… it's really just wasting time now.

Zoinks! A Chipmunk Vampire Mystery!
Chapter 1

"…an iPod Touch, a new guitar, and a new pair of sneakers." Alvin thought aloud as he wrote. "Not those cheap ones you bought me last year either." He added.

"What are you doing?" Simon asked from the doorway.

Alvin looked up at him. "I'm making my Christmas list to Dave." He answered.

Simon rolled his eyes. "Aren't you a bit old to be making a Christmas list?"

"Aren't you a bit weak to be pissing me off?" Alvin responded as he continued writing his list.

Simon rolled his eyes again. Alvin was so immature. "Shouldn't be getting a costume ready for Brittany's party?" He asked coming in and sitting on Alvin's bed.

"…Party?" Alvin asked as if this was the first he'd heard of it.

"Her Hall…"

"Don't say that word!" Alvin said pointing at Simon as a warning.

"I was just going to say…"

"Don't do it!" Alvin warned again.

Simon put his hands up and remained silent. Alvin sighed in relief and turned back to his list. "…Halloween." Simon said suddenly. Alvin groaned in frustration, causing Simon to laugh.

"Hey guys," Came Theodore's muffled voice. They both looked up to see Theodore in a bear suit. "What do you think of my costume?" He asked.

Alvin and Simon stared in confusion. "What are you supposed to be?" Alvin asked.

"I'm a teddy bear!" Theodore said as if it were obvious.

Alvin twisted his face skeptically. "A teddy bear isn't exactly scary."

"It's not supposed to be scary; it's supposed to be cute." Theodore explained. "What are you going as Alvin?"

"I'm not going." Alvin answered.

"What?" Simon and Theodore asked in shock.

"Because…" Alvin started taking in a deep breath. "With monster parties, come monsters. And no one will believe me when I say there's a monster; then, in the end, we all find out I was right." Alvin explained all in one breath. "We might as well avoid that this year." He said.

Simon and Theodore (even though you couldn't see it) rolled their eyes. "No one believes you because you're like the boy who cried wolf." Simon said.

"Who said anything about a wolf?" Alvin asked turning pushing his desk chair over to his book shelf and flipping through a book. "We're in the age of vampires." He said flashing them a picture of a vampire.

Theodore and Simon stared in disinterest. "What are you going as Simon?" Theodore asked changing the subject.

Alvin glared at the both of them and rolled back over to his desk. "I'm not sure yet." Simon answered. "At school today, Brittany told me not to pick a costume until she called me."

"Why?" Theodore asked.

"I don't know; she hasn't called me!" Simon laughed.

"If the two of you are going to talk about Halloween, could you please leave my room?" Alvin asked, now frustrated with them both.

Simon and Theodore shrugged and stood to leave. "Theo, I can't take you seriously in that bear suit." Simon chuckled slightly as they walked into the hallway.

Theodore sighed and attempted to remove the bear head. "Simon, it's stuck!" He said tugging at it.

"Theodore," Simon groaned as he began tugging at it himself.

"Ow!" Theodore screamed as Simon's yanking got rougher.

"Just hold still!"

Alvin stood up and shut his door in order to drown out their antics. He sat back down at his desk and continued his list. As he was writing his eyes slowly started to drift towards this book of monster facts. He immediately drew them back toward his list, but they were soon drifting again. "No," Alvin said shaking his head. "Not again." He mumbled. For the next several minutes Alvin tried to keep his attention on his Christmas list instead of on the book. "Maybe I'll just skim for a while." Alvin said quickly grabbing the book and reading. Obviously, that didn't work.

"Alvin, dinner is ready." Simon said poking his head into Alvin's room.

"I'm not hungry." Alvin answered as he continued flipping through his book.

"You haven't eaten since breakfast; Dave isn't going to let you sit up here for the rest of the night."

"Okay, okay." Alvin looked up from his book. "What are you wearing?" He asked as he craned his neck to get a better look at Simon's attire.

Simon stepped forward to reveal his costume. Alvin suppressed a laugh when he saw that Simon was dressed as a prince. "Brittany called and asked me to be her date. She's going as Cinderella; so, guess who she wants me to go as?"

Alvin snickered. "…Her carriage driver?" He asked clearly amused.

Simon glared. "No; do I look like a carriage driver?"

"You're right," Alvin said with a nod. "You look more like a horse's ass!" He said as he finally burst into laughter.

Simon continued to glare as he walked over to Alvin's bed, grabbed a pillow, and beat Alvin with it repeatedly. "I'm Prince Charming, you jackass!" Simon said between strikes.

Alvin continued to laugh. "No, no, you're the jackass." He managed to get out between hysterical laughs. Simon threw down the pillow and stomped out of the room, no longer caring whether Alvin came downstairs or not. Alvin attempted to regain his composure but every time he came close he thought about Simon in that costume. It got funnier ever time he pictured it.

His laughter was finally seized when his book fell open. Alvin's brow wrinkled in interest. "Vampiric traits," He read aloud as he picked up the book and read.
