This is my first AATC story, so I hope you enjoy.

Summary: When the Chipmunks and Chipettes travel around the world in one balloon, anything is possible. With Dave at home, two villains on the loose, and the whole world to see, excitement is everywhere. This story includes: romance, adventure, comedy, action, and everything but the kitchen sink. My notes will be in bold; enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own AATC, or its characters. I do own this plot line.

Chapter 1

Scene opens to an empty chair and table. On the table lies an open book with few writing inside. The pages become clear as you edge closer. You see it's a sketch book filled with beautiful animation drawings inside. Whoosh! All the sudden the pages turn quickly and you feel yourself falling – but falling where? Why, into the book of course. You see pictures and drawings of famous places around the world. You're fascinated, when suddenly you hear a squeaky voice.

"Stop!"

You stop abruptly and gasp at the sight. You're standing in front of a grand stage- but how did you get here? Your eyes zoom in onto a tiny figure standing on the stage. It's a chipmunk! You come closer as you watch its tiny body, the fancy tux over that long red sweater with the big yellow letter A. Your eyes meet his dark blue eyes and you spot a familiar red cap. Wait- you know this chipmunk! "I know you! You're Al-"

"Yes, my name is Alvin Seville, of course you know me. I'm here to tell a story, an adventure. The greatest adventure ever told since the first adventure; and that was 6 months ago. Starting the biggest things in the music biz since Michael Jackson! The Chipmunks and Chipettes! The movie that will end all movies-"

"Alvin get on with it! This tux is itchy!"

"I think you look great." The third voice sounded a bit timid & shy.

"See Simon, Jeanette thinks you look great- now shut up." Alvin said.

"You said the S word!"

"Quiet Theodore!" Five high pitch voices rang out.

"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted." Alvin said," Welcome to the Chipmunk Adventure 2."

Cue music- opening to Chipmunk Adventure. I will be using most of the songs from the first movie soundtrack along with other songs. If you don't know the songs, go to YouTube and listen to Chipmunk Adventure soundtrack. It will be easier to understand a passage while listening to the song it referrers to.

-The Chipmunk Adventure Theme (Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)

As the music begins, the curtains open. Alvin faces the stage, a baton in his hand. You can see Simon strumming a guitar, a bored expression played on his face. He lights up as he sees Jeanette in a sparkly purple dress, playing the violin. Instruments are flying everywhere as Alvin directs the music. Theodore is trying to play five different instruments at once. Brittany comes to the stage in a pink tutu dancing ballet while Eleanor plays the harp behind her. The music reaches its' climax; Alvin's arms rising higher and higher. Brittany dances faster while Jeanette plays faster. Suddenly the music becomes slower and Theodore plays the trumpet. On the last notes there is a scramble as everyone joins the center steps. The last thing you see is the six chipmunks bunched together, smiling. (Use your imagination)

Cue to Seville Resident

"Hello Ms. Miller?" Dave Seville was standing in his kitchen with his ear on the phone, but his eyes were locked onto his eldest son. Alvin was definitely getting an ear full this time. What was he thinking playing-

'Hello- David?" An aged voice called out into the receiver. "Is that you?"

"Dave sign, "Yes it's me. I called to apologize."

"For what dear?"

"For Alvin-"

"Alvin? What did he do?"

"He accidently smashed your window."

"He what?"

"Your window!"

"WHAT!"

"Alvin smashed your window!"

"Well you don't have to yell David; I can hear you just fine. Does Alvin want his baseball back?"

He signed again for what felt like the fifth time that day. "Goodbye Ms. Miller." He hanged up and faced his son, "Alright Alvin you're off the hook, but next time play ball in the park."

"Okay Dave." Alvin got up just as his brothers came in.

'Alvin," Theodore said,"We finally got all of the supplies for the trip-"he was silenced with both Alvin and Simon's hands covering his mouth. They began to drag him out the door while Dave watched, a bit suspicious of their sudden action.

"Bye Dave." Alvin said pulling Theodore down the steps.

"Wait!" Dave called out in surprise, "Where are you guys going?"

"To the ice cream shop, don't wait up!"

'We'll be back in time for dinner!" Simon yelled as all three of them turned the corner, disappearing from Dave's' sight. What going on with those three?

"Go Alvin! Go Brittany!"

"We're tied Brittany, can't you give in?"

"Never! I'll lose you in China; you won't get far." Brittany frown in concentration as she moved her joystick around. As you can see Alvin and Brittany were once again playing Around the World in 30 Days. Both have gotten better since their balloon race six months ago. Speaking of that race…

"Can you believe around this time 6 months ago, we would have been in a balloon race around the world?" Alvin stated just as he passed Egypt.

"Can you believe Theodore almost told Dave we are going on another trip?" Simon said from the back.

"I'm sorry you guys, I'm just so excited! The 6 of us are going around the world in just three days!" Theodore gushed.

"Yeah!" Jeanette smiled. "Traveling to our entire drop off spots, exploring the world, trying new things."

"Taking pictures," Brittany added.

"With no race or urgently or diamonds!" Jeanette finished with a flourished.

"But we haven't told Dave or Ms. Miller about this trip, Eleanor said. "What are we going to say in 3 days, "Bye Dave, we'll see you in 30 days?"

"It doesn't matter!" Alvin shouted sending his balloon to crash into Brittany's'. The game abruptly ended.

"Hey!" Brittany yelled, "I was winning!"

Alvin ignored her and faced the group. "Don't forget the promise we made on that balloon…"

**Flashback to 1st movie**

Cue to the Chipettes rescuing the Chipmunks after Wooly Bully

"Shouldn't I thank them; they were very sweet to me." Theodore said, drifting in the open air.

"Send them a postcard Theodore." Simon responded, "Pull us up girls!" Once they were up into the basket, Jeanette untied the boys with the dagger she saved. "Where did you get that?"

"You don't want to know." Jeanette responded

"What have you guys been doing tied to a stake, let me guess, Alvin!" Brittany yelled.

"Hey!" Alvin responded, "Why is it always me!"

"Because!" Brittany retort.

"Hey!" Eleanor said as she stepped in between the two. "We just saw each other; let's not throw the kitchen sink at each other!"

"Oh, all right." Both said and everyone became comfortable, laying blankets onto the basket floor.

"How about you guys tell us why you were tied to stakes and we'll tell you our story." Eleanor began.

"Wait," Brittany cut in. "Why do they go first?"

"Because you offered, "Alvin stated, "Now it all began…"

"The girls listened to their tale, gasping at all the right parts. When they finished, Brittany got up and scoffed. "Of course it's Alvin who gets you three tied to a stake." She turns to him, his face filled with anger. "It's your entire fault!"

"My fault!" Alvin yelled, "My fault!"

"Yeah, your fault!" she retorted.

The next few passages came from Leigh Aviator and her story, Back Home. It's not completely the same, because I changed it a bit. I try not to copy others, but this went really well with the plot line. Thanks for your permission, and this goes out to you Leigh Aviator.

"Well, what about you? Who have you been hanging out with, Aladdin or Abu?"

"I'll have you know I was engaged to a prince-!" Brittany stopped abruptly, her eyebrows bunched together in her angry expression. She leaned forward toward Alvin as they took their normal stance; nose to nose. Brittany's lips were pursed together tightly, yet she still had said nothing, as if she was trying to hold something back. Finally, it exploded out of her.

"Oh Alvin, it was terrible! I was almost eaten by a shark and poisoned by snakes. Some guys took us captive and tried to tear down our balloon. I was almost married, and I'm so glad we found you guys!" She almost instantly launched herself into Alvin's arms, much to his surprise. It didn't take long for him to tighten his grip around her fiercely, burying his face into her hair. He began to coo soft words to her while Simon & Theodore comforted the others as they were crying. All 6 of them sat in a circle, still clutching their counterpart.

"Now," Alvin whispered. "It's your turn…"

Once the Chipettes' story was told, Alvin calmed down Brittany by promising that she never had to marry that prince again; he'll make sure of it. The boys got over the fact that the race was a diamond scheme. Everyone was just happy that they had each other.

"You know, "Alvin said as he polished off one of Eleanor's sandwiches. "We should do this again."

"Do what Alvin, go around the world again?"

"That's exactly what I mean Simon."

"What are you, crazy!?" Brittany yelled. The other four nod in agreement.

"No, listen you guys!" Alvin got up and stood on one of the crates, facing the chipmunks. "What if we did this all over again, only different?"

"I'd say you were crazy," Brittany stated.

'Listen! Next time, it wouldn't be a race. It would be a vacation, the six of us together in one balloon. We would travel all over the world." He pointed to Brittany," We would go to the places you've been." He pointed to himself, "The places we've been, even places we haven't been." Alvin looked so animated and happy talking; it was hard to stop him. Besides, the idea sounded appealing. "The 6 of us are an unstoppable force together, we'll be fine."

"But what about Claudia and Klaus?" Theodore asked

"As soon as we get to L.A., we'll tell Dave and the police. We have the dolls as evident. On our next world trip, we don't have to worry about diamond dolls. On our next trip, we can spend more than 20 minutes at a location."

"Sounds crazy, but appealing," Simon stated. "But what about money, and Dave and Ms. Miller?"

"We can raise the money." Alvin said. "The trip doesn't have to be now; it can be in 6 months or so. We can get a job, save our allowance, sell a few things. We all have to make sacrifices so we can go. Dave and Ms. Miller doesn't have to know until a few days before we leave." He ignored the livid expressions on the chipmunk's faces.

"And you think Dave isn't going to notice us saving wads of cash and collecting supplies?" Simon asked.

Alvin shrugged his shoulders. "We've been sneaky before."

"We're going to have to raise about two to three thousand dollars," Jeanette noted. "That's a lot of money we don't have."

"Think about how it will be all worth it in the end. Think of all the excitement and no drama."

"There will always be drama Alvin, "Brittany interrupted. "But I do like the sound of this trip."

"Even if it does sound impossible," Theodore added.

"Nothing is impossible for us!" Alvin yelled. "We're rock stars at the age of 8. We've meet Frankenstein and werewolves. We're on an around the trip right now, so we can surely go on another one-"

"Alright Alvin!" Simon shouted, covering his mouth. "You don't have to rant, we already agree with you." He took away his hand, stepped back, and smiled. "As you can see, we're hitched to your wagon."

Alvin stuck his hand out into the middle. "Are you in?"

"I'm in." Brittany said, placing her hand on top of his."

"Me too," Eleanor and Theodore announced; following Brittany's procedure.

"I'm game," Jeanette said, following the others. All five of them glanced toward Simon expectedly. He rolled his eyes.

"I guess I'm in as well," he said. He placed his hand at the top.

"Now this is a promise," Alvin said. "In about 6 months, more or less, the six of us will take another around the world balloon trip. A vacation." He emphasized the word 'vacation.'

"I promise!" the 6 yelled and they began to laugh. Just an hour ago they were crying and escaping giant alligators. Now they were planning another trip.

"Set a course for home Simon." Alvin announced. With that, they began the long trek home.

**End Flashback**

"We promised that we were going on this trip. Dave or Ms. Miller is going to stop us- Mmm!" Alvin was silenced by Brittany's hand.

"Calm down Casanova, I gave up too many allowances for this trip- we're going." She removed her hand. "But how are we going to tell Dave and Ms. Miller?"

"Also, we have a problem," Eleanor added. "I was counting our piggy-cash last night and we only have 15 hundred dollars." She was referring to the money for the trip. It was held in a little square tin box, complete with a padlock. "We need at least 5 to 10 hundred dollar for the trip. What are we going to do?" She gazed up with fear and wonder written on her face.

"Don't worry," Alvin said. He had a laid back attitude and it was getting on Brittany's nerves. "We'll tell Dave and Ms. Miller tonight during dinner. I'll get the rest of the cash by tomorrow."

"But how?" Jeanette cried out in surprise.

"Don't worry about it," Alvin said. Unfortunately, Brittany was tired of the secrets. She pulled him by his sweater neck, their noses touching. He could see that she was angry and annoyed.

"How?" she whispered.

He put his hands up in surrendered and backed up. "Okay, I'll show you." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a…

"A diamond." Brittany whispered. The five crowded around Alvin for a better look.

"I don't believe it," Simon said. He took the diamond from Alvin and studied it up close. "How did you get this?"

"From the diamond doll Brittany ripped. Right before we landed in the airport, I put all the dolls in my back pack. I only swiped one."

"But where did you hide it?" Brittany asked. She remembered the loincloth that day.

"In one of your belt loops from your Egyptian outfit." She gave him an insidious look. "Don't ask."

"If we sell this diamond at a local jewelry store…" Simon started.

"We would have enough money to go on the trip!" Jeanette finished.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Brittany said. "Let's go!" With that, the chipmunks ran out of the ice cream shop.

This is the plot. The Chipmunks and Chipettes are going on an around the world trip. No Dave, no Ms. Miller. They are in search for adventure and excitement. They get more than what they bargain for. And what's this about old foes. If you want me to continue, please review. See you next time…
