Theodore was sitting at the table, surprised at what he just heard. "What do you mean you, Simon, and Alvin are going to be gone all night?" he asked.
"Exactly what I just said, the record company wants to interview Alvin and Simon tonight, and you tomorrow." His adoptive father, Dave Seville, said.
"Great, now I'm going to be bored!" Theodore complained.
"You can invite Eleanor over if you want, just as long as you two don't get carried away." Dave said.
Theodore blushed at the thought of his counterpart. "Don't worry about that Dave! I wouldn't dream of doing that!" he said.
"Good to hear. Anyway, we're leaving now, only Eleanor is allowed at the house, alright?" Dave said.
"Yes Dave." Theodore answered, waving as Dave, along with his brothers, left out.
The moment the car was gone, Theodore grabbed the phone and began dialing. He waited a while, then the voice of an angel answered the phone.
Eleanor: Hello?
Theodore: Hi Eleanor!
Eleanor: Hello Theodore! How are you?
Theodore: I'm doing alright! So get this, Dave, Alvin, and Simon are gone for the night! Do you want to come over?
Eleanor: I'll come as soon as I get my stuff ready!
Theodore: Awesome! See you soon! *hangs up*
Eleanor smiled as she hung up her phone. She had a special surprise planned for Theodore. She went to her room with a plastic bag and placed something inside it. 'Tonight is going to be awesome!' she thought.
As she headed for the door, Brittany walked in her way. "And where are you going?" She asked.
"I'm going to Theodore's house; can you get out the way?" Eleanor replied.
"After you tell me why you're leaving with that plastic bag." Brittany said. Groaning, Eleanor leaned forward and whispered something into Brittany's ear. "Oh… that's why… well, alright then!" Brittany said, stepping out of the way. "You have fun now, you hear?" she said, winking.
"Oh hush you!" Eleanor said, closing the door.
A few minutes later, she knocked on the Seville's door. Theodore opened it quickly. "Hi Eleanor! Glad you came!" he said.
"I'm glad you invited me Theodore! I brought several things we could do while Dave's away!" Eleanor said.
"Well, what do you want to do first?" Theodore asked.
"How about we make a cake? I hear Carey is sick, and we could send it to her house!" Eleanor answered. So they went to the kitchen and got to work, washing their hands first of course. Theodore was stirring the mix as Eleanor was adding ingredients inside.
"Hmm… It's missing something…" Theodore said after tasting the batter. Eleanor tasted it too. "You're right… It needs more vanilla." She said. She poured a little bit of vanilla into the batter and tasted it. "Yes! This is perfect!" she said. Theodore placed the batter into the mold and put it into the oven.
"Well that was a good way to spend a few hours! What should we do next?" Theodore asked. Eleanor thought for a while, and an idea came to her mind.
"Hey, do you guys still have Guitar Hero?" she asked. "Yeah, you wanna play?" Theodore said. Eleanor nodded. The two entered the living room.
"Just so you know, I've been practicing, and I'm gonna win!" Theodore said, picking up a guitar.
"Sure, just because I've never played before!" Eleanor replied, turning on the TV. The two played several rounds, and Eleanor won each one.
"Hold up! I thought you never played before!" Theodore said.
"Oops, did I say that? I meant to say 'I've never played here before!'" Eleanor replied. "You sneaky Chipette!" Theodore said. Eleanor laughed as they continued playing.
Theodore eventually began sniffing, his sensitive nose picking up a new scent. "Oh my God! The cake is burning!" he shouted. He and Eleanor dropped the guitars and headed for the kitchen. Eleanor yanked the oven open and pulled out the cake, shaking her paws from the heat. "Oh no… It's ruined!" she shouted.
Theodore stared at the cake; it was only a little charred around the sides. "Ellie, its fine, only a tad bit burnt." He said.
"No Theo, it isn't fine! This was a get well cake, it needed to be perfect!" Eleanor complained.
Theodore placed a paw on his girlfriend's shoulder. "Don't worry Eleanor, we can always make another! Or we can add on to this one, to equal out the burned taste." He offered.
Eleanor nodded slowly, placing the cake onto the counter. "So, if it's burned, it's going to have some sour to it, so we should add some sweet!" Theodore said.
"I'll get the icing!" Eleanor said, reaching for the icing. They decorated the cake with icing, using a plethora of colors. In the end, the cake looked like a rainbow.
Theodore yawned, glancing at the clock. It was a little after 11. "Well, I'm not sure about you, but I'm going to take a shower and go to bed." He said.
"I'll come with you!" Eleanor said.
Theodore stared at her in surprise, did he just hear correctly? "I'm sorry, I think my ears are messing with me, did you just say that you were gonna shower with me?" Theodore asked.
"Yes, yes I did, and I'm serious." Eleanor answered. "Look Theo, we've been together for almost a year, and we're both 17, there's nothing wrong with us showering together." She said.
Theodore thought it over for a while, before finally agreeing.
The two entered the bathroom and climbed into the shower. Theodore tried his best to not stare at Eleanor's exposed body. He was more focused in concealing his 'friend' from Eleanor's sight.
They got out and quickly dried their fur. Theodore couldn't help but laugh as Eleanor's fur puffed up, making her look like she was hit by lightning. "And what's so funny?" she asked, smoothing her fur down.
Theodore blushed as he accidentally looked at her. "Uh… n-nothing!" he answered.
Eleanor smiled and quickly got dressed. "Meet me in the bedroom, I have a surprise for you." She said, winking.
Theodore blushed so much; he began to look like a tomato. 'Oh God…' he thought.
*Three Hours Later*
Theodore laid next to Eleanor, panting. "I… I can't believe we just did that…" he said.
"Well, we did, and that's all there is to it." Eleanor said, cuddling closer to the chipmunk.
"Well, just as long as you had fun, it's all alright with me." Theodore replied, burying his nose into Eleanor's hair, breathing in her scent.
She didn't answer him, but she snored lightly. She had fallen asleep. Theodore smiled as he closed his eyes too, giving in to sleep's alluring voice.
As the two slept, Dave, Alvin, and Simon reentered the house. "I can't believe we had to do that! That was the most boring time I've ever experienced in my life!" Alvin complained.
"Then next time, how about you don't say things that don't matter?" Simon shouted.
"Alright boys, you've been arguing since we got back in the car." Dave sighed. "Theodore!" he called. No answer.
The three began to search the house. They eventually went to the boys' bedroom, finding the two chipmunks in the bed.
"You don't think that they…" Dave began.
"Oh come on Dave, Theodore would never consider doing that!" Simon said.
Oh if only he knew!
