Authors Note: This Story is a sequel to my story "Cold in This Place: A Bat's Tale" and I'm writing it due to questions I was asked about my OC, Nathan Seville (1. How did Nathan get captured? and 2. Why was he in North America?). As with my previous story, this is an AATC fanfic based in the CGI universe. Read and review if you wish, and I hope you like it. Also, if there are any words like this this time it's a flashback scene.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Alvin and the Chipmunks in any way at all, they belong to Ross B. (Too lazy to type his last name :P) and Fox Studios.

Where I'm From: A Bat's Tale 2.

It was late at night in the Seville household, and everyone was sleeping soundly in their beds. Well, almost everyone was asleep that night, as a certain female chipmunk was tossing and turning in her bed, unable to sleep for some odd reason, so rather than staying in her bed, she reached for her glasses and got up for a drink of water. After she returned with her drink, Jeanette looked up and smiled at the black and orange mass hanging upside-down from the ceiling.

About six months earlier Nathan, a talking Madagascan Flying Fox, had literally flown into their lives (more specifically, their house window), and although he seemed hesitant to warm up to anyone then, he now treated Jeanette and the five other chipmunks as his brothers and sisters, and he even treated Dave like his father now. Something that confused the purple clad Chipette a lot though was how Nathan, a tropical flying rodent from halfway across the world, had ended up at their doorstep? And why did he flip out at Dave when he woke up at first?

Jeanette shook her head a little, having zoned out a bit from her first memories of the huge bat…

"How come I always end up doing the heavy lifting?" Jeanette asked herself, pulling on the string of Christmas lights to go onto the tree. About five minuets later, the purple Chipette was finishing up with the lights, when she was knocked into the branches of the tree by something 'Probably Alvin, being stupid,' she thought, as she turned to face her assailant, "Hey, watch it…WHAA!" Jeanette screamed, finding herself face to furry face with a giant bat!

Her screaming must've been hard on the bat's sensitive ears, 'cause no sooner did she scream did he cover his ears with what could've been hands, and covered the frightened chipmunk's mouth with a foot, which wasn't as dirty as it should've been, "Don't do that, it hurts," Jeanette heard the bat say, his voice somehow calming to her as he rubbed his poor ears "Okay," she replied, her voice muffled by the bat's foot, which was removed soon after.

"Sorry about that," Jeanette said, as she tried to approach the timid bat…

"Jeanette? What are you doing up?" a familiar voice asked, the source being Nathan himself still hanging from his sleeping perch on the ceiling, causing Jeanette to jump slightly in surprise "Oh, umm…I-I couldn't sleep, so I got up for some water," she replied, as Nathan opened his wings to their full length and dropping from his perch, his wings acting like a parachute and making his landing on the floor almost silent. He was still wearing his usual orange security coat that Dave had made him, and his patch of orange fur on his head was messed up from his just recently waking up (how you mess your hair up when hanging upside-down, I don't know).

"You okay Netta? You look like something's bothering you?" Nathan asked, as Jeanette shook her head in response "No, it's just…" she replied, as her loving brother rolled his eyes. There was something about the bat that Jeanette honestly did not like, and that was how he was somehow aware of everything around him including how other people around him were feeling "Jeanette, it's okay to tell me what's bothering you, I mean, it's not like I'm gonna bite you or something," Nathan said, getting a giggle from the purple clad Chipette.

"Well, I just can't figure out why you were flying outside that night when you first arrived…" Jeanette's question faded away as she noticed the look on Nathan's face, a mix of anger, sadness and fear which caused the female chipmunk to start tearing up a little, "Do you really want to know how I got here?" Nathan asked, as he wiped a tear away from her furry face with one of his long fingers. All Jeanette did was nod slowly, looking up at her brother's dark eyes as he held out his large tridactyle hand for her, which she used to climb onto his back as he climbed up to her bunk.

"It started like this…" Nathan said, as he sat Jeanette down onto her pillow as he climbed up onto the bottom of the bunk above them and hung from the support beams, telling his story to her…

To Be Continued…

Well, if you're reading this then it means you liked my story (either that or you just scrolled down to the bottom :P). I ask that you don't flame this, again I'm not fire proof and I burn easily.

But, if you did enjoy the story, then stay tuned for the rest of Nathan's story.

I'm not going to give specific details, but I will say this much… We're going to Madagascar next time.

Review if you want, and if you don't want to review it, then just leave a comment, again I do accept constructive criticism, and really enjoy your comments/reviews.
