Time is an amazing thing. Sometimes it goes slow. Sometimes it goes fast. During time, you make mistakes that you can never fix because it already happened. It happened for a reason. You wish that you can go back in time and fix it. You wish that you can forward in time and see the outcom. Six chipmunks did it. They wanted to go on an adventure but changed everything by mistake.

"Hey Simon, are you coming to lunch? They're serving corn dogs." Alvin says slamming Simon's locker shut.

"Alvin, please. You can't just slam a locker like that. What if my head was in the locker?"

"Well then I would feel sorry but I didn't so get over it. Now let's go get some lunch. Brittany and her boyfriend went out for lunch so we can enjoy a nice meal without them kissing each other every 5 seconds." He said pulling Simon.

Simon struggles free from Alvin's grip. "I need to work on my blueprints."

"I get it. You just don't want to eat with Jeanette since that day."

"Oh, that day. Please don't remind me of that day."

"Simon, it's ok. You spilled fried bean on her while we helped the homeless people last year and she smelled like beans for a week. She forgave you after a month. We live together. You have to talk to her and make peace."

Simon walks toward the stairs. "That's not the reason why I'm not eating lunch. I just need to work."

"What is it Simon? The blueprints. Is it some sort of machine?"

"If I tell you, promise me you won't tell one." He throws out his hand for a shake.

Alvin shakes his hand. "Promise."

Simon leans in near Alvin's ear when they heard the doors down the hallway open with no one there. "Well that was weird. Anyways, I'm building a time machine. I want to travel in time and space. See what time before was like before us. Like 1776, the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Alvin leans back away from Simon and tries to understand. "And I will support you in anyway possible. I know a teacher who might be able to help with this. His name is Mr. Frank, my science teacher, he loves the thought of time travel.

Simon looks Alvin gives him a smile. "Thanks man. This means a lot to me. What's his room number?"

"213. It's right down the hall to your right.

"Thank you so much, Alvin." Simon said running down the hallway looking for room 213. He sees it at the end. He walks up to the door, which is open, and knocks twice.

"Come in." The teacher yells from his desk.

Simon walks in slowly and looks at the man. "Are you Mr. Frank

He spins in his chair and laughs. "The one and only. What can I help you with?

"My name is Simon Seville. My brother, Alvin, said that you could help me with something.

"Alvin? Alvin Seville is your brother? Oh no. You don't want me to kill a man, do you?

Simon chuckles. "No sir. I was wondering if you could help me change a man?"

"Now by change, what do you mean?"

"Changing history. Changing every, single man in time."

"What do you have in mind, Simon?"

Simon hands Mr. Frank the blue prints. "This is what I have so far. I need your opinion."

Mr. Frank revises the blue prints. Every word, and every equation. "Everything seems to be in the right order. What do you need from me again?"

Simon looks at Mr. Frank with hope banging on his chest. "I need your help."

2 years later

Simon sits in the schools basement. The lights flicker caused by old wires. His science teacher, Mr. Frank, sits in the back writing in his notebook. He looks up. "Simon, this can't be done. You can't just tear time apart and think that you can fix it. You can't travel in time and space."

Simon drops his screw driver and turns around. "You don't believe in me anymore, do you?"

"When you told me that you were going to build a time machine, I didn't really think a real one. I think you've been watching too much Doctor Who. He has a time machine called the TARDIS. It stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space. But it's a TV show but still, it can't happen."

"When I was a little kid, I always wish that I could change history and now that I have someone's support, their just going to stop believing in me when I finally have something that might work."

The teacher gets up and walks up the stairs and opens the door. "I'm sorry Simon. See you in class tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is Saturday." Simon yells out. "Whatever." He continues to work on his machine. "I'll prove them wrong. I'll prove all of them wrong."

The sun rises over the trees on the school court yard. Sun light shines through the basement window. Droll drops from Simons mouth as he sleeps on his notes. He opens his eyes slowly to his machine glowing with light. He lifts his head as it makes a loud noise. Simon gets up and walks toward the machine and gets in.

Dave walks into the kitchen and to the table where the kids are sitting. "Does anyone know where Simon is?"

Jeanette finishes chewing her eggs and looks at Dave. "He's still at school."

"Why is he at school on a Saturday?"

"He texted me at 3 in the morning saying that he had to finish his time machine." Alvin said throwing away his trash. "I told him that time traveling is impossible but he wouldn't listen. I promised him that I would never tell anyone but now is the time to tell."

"Why would Simon build a time machine?" Dave asked eating his toast.

Jeanette fixes her glass. "Time is an amazing thing. Simon might want to prove that time traveling was possible."

Brittany looks at Jeanette. "Well, is it possible?"

The time machine fades in and out making a loud noise as it lands in the school yard. Simon opens the door and steps out.

"Wait. I was just here. Why am I at school?" He turns towards the machine. "This thing isn't a time machine. I get knocked out for 2 days and someone carries me outside. What a sick joke." Simon says kicking his machine.

"Hey you, Stop that. That's school property." Yelled the principle as he walks across the courtyard.

Simon stands in shock. "Principle Smith. Umm well I was just kicking my umm project."

The principle looks at Simon with confusion. "That Statue is not your project, I can tell you that much. If I see you do it again, I will call your dad and we will have a long talk about respecting what isn't yours.

"Yes…yes sir." Simon said stuttering as the principle walks back to the school. He looks at his machine and studies it. "Must be a little cameo that I added. Interesting. Well I must go.

He runs through the doors leading to a long hallway crowded with students. He looks up at the clock and knows where he is going to go.

"Alright. Its 12:30. So that means that everyone is in the lunch room." Simon runs down the hallway and down the stairs. He walks slowly to the lunch room until he sees another chipmunk by the lockers and walks up until he notices something and hides. "It's...it's me."

"Hey Simon, are you coming to lunch? They're serving corn dogs." Alvin says slamming Simons locker shut.

"Alvin, please. You can't just slam a locker like that. What if my head was in the locker?"

"Well then I would feel sorry but I didn't so get over it. Now lets go get some lunch. Brittany and her boyfriend went out for lunch so we can enjoy a nice meal without them kissing each other every 5 seconds." He said pulling Simon.

Simon struggles free from Alvin's grip. "I need to work on my blueprints."

"I get it. You just don't want to eat with Jeanette since that day."

Simon continues to hide behind the locker as Past Simon and Alvin walk away. "Oh that day."

"Oh that day. Please don't remind me of that day."

"Simon, it's ok. You spilled fried bean on her while we helped the homeless people last year and she smelled like beans for a week. She forgave you after a month. We live together. You have to talk to her and make peace."

Simon walks toward the stairs. "That's not the reason why I'm not eating lunch. I just need to work."

"What is it Simon? The blueprints. Is it some sort of machine?"

"If I tell you, promise me you won't tell anyone." He throws out his hand for a shake.

Alvin shakes his hand. "I promise."

Simon runs back down the hallway smacking that doors leading to the outside and runs back to his machine and runs inside. He looks at his computer. "September 20, 2011. It can't be. I really went back in time. Today is the day I finally finished on my Blueprints for this beautiful time machine. I have to go and see myself finish it." Simon sets his time for August 20th 2013 and presses ENTER.

The time machine makes a loud noise and shakes as it takes off. Smoke comes out of the engine as he holds on to the railing. Simon looks up at the screen.

"Almost there. Just a few more days and...here" He says as the machine jerks and crashes down in the basement of the school. He opens the door to himself and the teacher sitting at the table.

"Simon, this can't be done. You can't just tear time apart and think that you can fix it. You can't travel in time and space." Mr. Frank said sitting in the chair.

Simon drops his screw driver and turns around. "You don't believe in me anymore, do you?"

"When you told me that you were going to build a time machine, I didn't really think a real one. I think you've been watching too much Doctor Who. He has a time machine called the TARDIS. It stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space. But it's a TV show, but still, it can't happen."

Simon closes his door slowly and hides behind a box. "Doctor Who is an amazing show."

"When I was a little kid, I always wish that I could change history and now that I have someone's support, their just going to stop believing in me when I finally have something that might work."

Mr. Frank gets up and walks up the stairs and opens the door. "I'm sorry Simon. See you in class tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is Saturday." Simon yells out. "Whatever." He continues to work on his machine. "I'll prove them wrong. I'll prove all of them wrong."

A few hours pass by. Past Simon continues to work as Simon sits in the corner. "No wonder I don't have a girlfriend, I'm boring." He said as he leans on the wall. 3 o'clock am and past Simon falls asleep. Simon gets up and walks over to himself and studies the machine. "How did I finish this if I don't know how to do it?" He continues to study and laughs to himself. "I better text Alvin and tell him that I have to finish my time machine. Where's my phone?" He reaches for past Simons pocket and gets his phone. "And now to text Alvin."

"He texted me at 3 in the morning saying that he had to finish his time machine." Alvin said throwing away his trash. "I told him that time traveling is impossible but he wouldn't listen. I promised him that I would never tell anyone but now is the time to tell."

"Why would Simon build a time machine?" Dave asked eating his toast.

Jeanette fixes her glass. "Time is an amazing thing. Simon might want to prove that time traveling was possible."

Brittany looks at Jeanette. "Well, is it possible?"

A loud noise comes from the living room followed by the sound of glass shattering. The family runs into the living room. Confused eyes face the machine as smoke surrounds the room like fog. Simon steps out from the machine with bruises on his face and arms.

"I really need to learn how to control this thing." Simon said walking along the glass. "I shattered the table. How do I explain this to Dave...and they are standing right behind me aren't they?" Simon guessed as he turned around seeing the family looking at him with confusion.

Dave walks over the kids to Simon and bends down. "Simon, what's going on?"

Jeanette walks up to explain. "Umm well Dave, Simon did the unthinkable. He created time traveling."

Alvin sneaks into the conversation. "I'm not a pro on this type of stuff but isn't time traveling like I, don't know, dangers? I know I supported you but still."

Simon answers his question. "It's only dangers if you change it. Going back in time and changing one little thing can cause a huge effect."

Brittany joins in. "Also, can you go to different universe of time and space?"

"Can you explain more for me Brittany?" Simon asked closing the door to the machine.

"Going to the same time, same year, but totally different. Like in one universe, I could be like a Queen or married to an actor.

Simon thinks to himself. "Umm well doing might be possible but I don't see any reason why we need to do that.

Brittany looks at Simon. "Can we at least try Simon? I want to see a world outside our own."

Alvin looks at Brittany with a confused look. "Are you stupid or something? Did you really just ask that? Going to a different universe and wanting to see a world outside our own IS OUR WORLD!"

Brittany cleans her eyes of tears and runs off. Jeanette and Eleanor look at Alvin and run off following Brittany. Dave picks up Alvin by the hoody and sets him on the couch.

"What was that about Alvin? Brittany asked a question and you blew up in her face."

Simon jumps on the couch and hit Alvin. "You are the biggest jerk I know. She tried to understand and you yell at her. I would say go say you're sorry what good will that do? We all know you'll just do it again." Simon jumps off the couch and walks towards to bedroom and turns around. "People make mistakes, Alvin. I've seen you at the best and at the worst time. Things get worst and you are never able to fix it." He looks at the bedroom door and takes a deep breath. "Let's just hope I'm wrong about this one."

Dave continues to stare down Alvin. "He is right, Alvin. What you just said to Brittany might as well change your future. We just talked about this too. Making one little mistake can change the future.

Alvin looks at the time machine and turns around looking at the bedroom hearing Brittany's voice. "I'm going to do something that will change everything that happened tonight

Later that night, Alvin sneaks out of his, climbing down the ladder and climbs up the girls bed up to the top. He sees Brittany sleeping at the end with her fur all messed up. He walks slowly towards her and grabs her. He jumps off the bed and runs towards the living room where the machine is while holding her on his shoulder. Brittany starts waking up while Alvin is still holding her and goes crazy.

"ALVIN! PUT ME DOWN NOW!" Brittany yelled out making sure she wakes up everyone in the house but Alvin covers her mouth.

"Please, Brittany, for the first time ever, just shut up." He whispered putting her down.

Brittany punches Alvin in the stomach. "I will not shut. You kidnaped me out of my own bed and carried me to the living room. I don't know what's up with you, Alvin Seville, but please just stop."

"This. What is this?"

"What do you mean what is this?" She asked not trying to be quite.

"This. You're standing up for yourself."

Brittany crosses her arms. "Your point here, Alvin, please tell me." She said punching him in the stomach again.

"I know what Drew does to you when you guys are alone. You think I haven't noticed your scars and bruises. Your make up doesn't help much. He beats you."

Brittany looks at Alvin. "You need to shut up Alvin."

"Your eyes are still red but those aren't the tears I caused. Are they?" Alvin said wiping away some left over tears. "When I called your stupid, all you could think of was Drew beating you after a stupid comment. All you could picture was Drew. You heard his voice.

Brittany forms a fist out of her right hand. "Please, Alvin, please just shut up. Is this why you got me out of bed? Just to remind me of what he does to people?

Alvin tries to get a word out. "I want to say sorry I haven't done anything to protect you."

Brittany breaks her fist and drops to her knees. "I'm sorry."

Alvin lifts her up. "Don't be sorry. I'm sorry about what I said earlier. Drew is the monster and you need to break up with him."

"I did last week. The scars are slowly going away but I still need make up to cover them."

Alvin hugs her and lets her go. "You dated him for 2 years. Why did you break up with him last week?

"He wouldn't let me and the police arrested him for having drugs in his house. His parents were pretty mad."

Alvin laughed. "I bet. That all I wanted to know. You can go back to bed."

"Alright. Good night, Alvin." Brittany whispered walking back to the bedroom.

"Good night, Brittany."

Brittany goes back to bed leaving Alvin alone in the living room next to the machine. He looks at it and smiles. "A life has just been spared tonight."

Something new I'm trying out. As a fan of Doctor Who, some stuff might sound like it's a TARDIS that Simon uses. I need ideas for future chapters. If you, the readers, have anything, please tell me. I want something that you, the readers, what to read. It's like a build your own story. Like The Powerful Chipmunks, I will add names (first names) of those who give ideas. Good or bad, you will be traveling with the chipmunks. Any mistakes you see while reading, please tell me. I want to make you guys happy with your reading.
