A/N: here is a new story that has developed nicely over the last few days, so I decided to through in the last few details and posted it, hope you enjoy it. Sorry for any grammar or spelling errors. Please R&R.
Chapter 1- The Escape
"Can't you two work any faster?" questioned a rather irritated pink-clad chipmunk. She wore a pink shirt with a white B on it. Her auburn brown hair was stylized into ponytail.
"We are trying to Britt this isn't easy." Jeanette replied not taking her green eyes off the computer screen in front of her, her fingers constantly moving on her keyboard, occasionally one hand would adjust her purple rimmed glasses that she wore. She wore a purple shirt with a blue J on it. Her dark brown hair was pulled into a messy bun by a purple ribbon that hung down to the mild of her back. Next to her was her mate Simon. He has light blue eyes that are behind blue rimmed glasses. He wore a blue shirt with a white S on it. His eyes haven't left his screen since he sat down at the computer and his fingers were moving faster than Jeanette's (if that was even possible).
"Is it really that hard to drain Alvin's chamber thing?"asked Brittany who was rather shocked that they are having so much trouble with it. She would have bet almost anything that these two would make quick work of this.
"Draining it, no, that's rather easy, in fact we can do that at any time. It's the alarm that is the problem." Simon replied "It takes three minutes and thirty-seven seconds to drain it and fifty-eight seconds to lower the glass. That's four minutes and thirty-five seconds before we can leave the room. An unauthorized drain would set off the alarm and guards would be here in less than two minutes."
"Oh, so you're trying to turn off the alarm?" Brittany asked
"You can't disable the alarm without turning off the power to the facility Britt, so we have to delay the alarm for at least ten minutes." Jeanette answered "And we are up to four and a half minutes now."
"Make that an even five Jeanette." Simon stated. Brittany signed and turned to the chamber that they have been talking about. The chamber was like a big clear glass tube that was about four feet wide and about six feet tall. Inside it there was what looked like green water. Bubbles constantly flowing from the bottom to the top. Inside the liquid was her mate Alvin.
Oh how she has missed him ever since he was put in there (6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 9 hours, and 14 minutes, oh yeah she's been counting). She missed his soft lips pressing onto hers when they kissed. She missed how he would softly caress her back when they were pressed against each other. The way he told her that he loved her. His eyes staring into hers, those blue orbs that lit up whenever he looked at her and made her melt when she looked into them. She missed everything about him, even their arguing, as strange as it sounds. A loud clank followed by the sound of draining water brought her out of her thoughts.
"We did it!" Simon and Jeanette cried out in unison jumping out of their chairs, giving each other a hug while jumping up and down in joy. Brittany looked up to the top and saw it was true, the liquid was slowing going down. She let out a squeal of joy as the liquid went down. Those were the longest four minutes of her life. After the fluid was gone there was another clank sound followed by a hissing sound as the glass separating them from Alvin lowered.
Before it was all the way down Brittany jumped over it and tackled Alvin knocking him over, planting a very passionate kiss on his lips. Which he returned without hesitation.
"I missed you" Brittany whispered after she broke the kiss.
"I missed you too." He replied then kissed her again.
Simon cleared his throat "I hate to break up your reunion but we have about five minutes to leave before everyone find out what we did. Alvin can you run?" he questioned his older brother.
Alvin smirked "You bet your ass I can."
"Then let's go." Jeanette said egger to leave. They all left running down the corridors with Simon in the lead for he had memorized the layout of the facility so they could get out as quickly as possible. Surprising enough they never ran into anyone, guards or workers, after several lefts and rights they came to a door with a key code on it. Simon punched in a series of numbers and the door opened to the outside. No sooner than they all went through the door an alarm went off and they door slammed shut.
"That was close, let's keep moving" Simon said with relief that they were able to get out in time. Now that the hardest part of their mission was now done. They all nodded and jumped into the nearest tree leaving the building behind. After a few minutes of jumping from tree to tree with Simon and Jeanette in front, Alvin noticed a problem with his escape.
"So exactly where are we going?" Alvin asked hoping Simon has a plan.
"We are leaving." Simon replied simply getting a groan from Alvin and a giggle from Brittany.
"I figured that Si, but I mean where can we go? They will probably have they whole planet looking for me by tomorrow. Do you guys have a really cool super secret hideout or something for me?" Alvin questioned trying to imagine place where no one could find him.
"No Alvin, we are leaving as leaving Aurora." Simon replied shaking his head.
"Oh." Alvin said plainly. Is that his only option? To leave forever? It has to be if that's Simon's solution.
"Hey what a second, what do you mean we?" Alvin questioned
"We are going with you." Brittany replied with a tone that broke no argument.
"You guys can't be serious." Alvin said in disbelief
"You really don't think that I would let you go around space without me to keep you out of trouble do you?" Simon smiled "Plus we can't leave Theodore here by himself."
"And your brain dead if you think I would let you go without me." Brittany said sweetly
"And if Simon and Brittany are going so am I." Jeanette continued
"And Eleanor wouldn't let us or Theodore go without her, so we are all going so your deal with it." Brittany finished
Alvin was speechless he really didn't know what to say so he said the only thing he could think of at the moment "Thanks guys."
"No need to thank us Alvin we are all family, it's what we do." Simon stated Alvin just smiled
A short distance ahead of them in the middle of a small clearing sat their means of departure. A brown color spaceship that resembled a small tree trunk but with windows and a door. In the door way stood a slightly chubby chipmunk named Theodore. He wore a green shirt with a white T on it. He was starting to get worried 'should they be here by now? Oh I hope they didn't get caught' he thought to himself. His green eyes once again searches the tree line for any sign of them.
"Ellie! Ellie! I see them! I see them! And they got Alvin!" Theodore yelled out before running towards his oldest brother. As soon as he reached them, he gave Alvin a big hug.
Alvin smiled and returned the hug "I missed you too Theo." He said and ruffled Theo's hair.
Eleanor was sitting inside the ship at the console waiting for Theodore to shout for when he saw his brothers and her sisters. She wore a light green shirt with a white E on it. Worry was evident in her brown eyes as she too was starting to worry a little bit, but smiled when she heard Theodore. 'Way to go guys' she thought happily. She then started to push buttons in the order that Simon told her to. Almost immediately she heard the ship start powering up.
As everyone entered the ship, they all took one last look to their old home and boarded. After the door was closed Simon and Jeanette started to get everything ready to launch.
"Thing just wasn't the same without you Alvin." Eleanor said as she too gave Alvin a hug which Alvin of course returned. Man did he miss them all. The launch went smoothly and in no time they were speeding away from their planet. Everyone took one last look out of the window before it was out of sight.
After a short time Brittany handed Alvin a bundle of red clothes that Alvin accepted with a smile and quickly put them on (that's right Alvin was naked up to this point)
"So where are we going?" Alvin asked he was now wearing his red shirt with a big yellow A on it. He put on his red cap, oh how he missed it.
"The third planet in solar system 37195 in sector 5. It is the closest planet that is similar to Aurora. It's a little bigger with more water than land instead. It has been colonized by a species called humans, who call it Earth." Simon replied with a quick summary of the planet. He hit several buttons and a blue and green sphere appeared on the screen as everyone gathered around him. A large number of photos started to come and go showing all the life on the planet. Different animals and plant life most of which none of them have ever seen before.
Eleanor and Theodore wrapped their arms around each other as Eleanor rested her head on Theodore's chest. Both thinking about all the different foods that they will get to try and the people that they will meet. Jeanette stood next to Simon fascinated with all the pictures. Simon was still sitting in the pilots chair also intrigued about the planet. There wasn't much information other than the pictures and some details about the planet itself, so he was a little excited about how much he will learn when they get there. Alvin stood behind Brittany with his arms wrapped around her stomach, both watching the screen.
"Our new home" Alvin whispered while looking at the blue and green planet and the pictures that Simon had brought up on the screen. Alvin felt many different things. In a way he was a little sad to be leaving the only place he knew. He also felt guilty for what everyone else has done for him. They all broke a lot of laws that will never let any of them to return to their home world without severe punishment. He also felt a lot of anger towards the rest of his race, for what they did to him and for they put his family through.
"Yes, in ten months, it will be." Simon stated interrupting Alvin's thoughts. Alvin looked over to his younger brother with a small smile. Simon was right, they are family, no matter happens, as long as they have each other they can do anything. That even means starting over in a new planet with a new life.
A/N: well there it is I hope you enjoyed as I enjoyed writing it. I don't know if this story will stay rated T or not, you'll see what I mean. My next update should be in a few days and it should be to my story The Munk Warriors, but don't hold me to that
