Survive

Chapter 1

XOXOXOXOXO

Author's Note: Okay... I know I have about three stories that are ongoing, but this one just kept nagging at me until I decided to write it out.

Now, actually, this storyline is original. Meaning, the setting, plot and many of the characters seen are unique to my OWN original story, and has nothing to do with AATC.

However, I wondered what it would be like to cross them over, and see what I get if I add the Chipmunks and Chipettes in. I thought it'd be a fun crossover.

In this story, they're kind of like a mix of CGI and Cartoons. Think of it as the CGI versions, only anthro.

This IS an alternate universe, so don't be surprised if a lot of things aren't the same. However, a lot of things will remain true to the cartoons and movies as well.

XOXOXOXOXO

BRITTANY

The world was ending.

I turned away from my suitcases, peering out of the rain-battered window. The sky was a depressing mix of grays and blacks. The rains were soon to come, I could feel it. Obviously, I wasn't the only one who sensed it. My auburn fur stood on end.

I heard footsteps just outside my bedroom door. I turned to see my baby sister, Eleanor, open the door. Her usually neat, golden pigtails were loose and messy. Her ticket, the one that would likely save her from her death, was clutched tightly in her left hand. Couldn't blame her. If she lost that, there was nothing we could do to help her. Besides, there were many rightfully desperate people that would kill for that ticket of life.

"Britt, are you almost done packing?" she panted, looking over my two suitcases. I wanted to take a lot more, originally, but what was the point? All of my favorite outfits, from the top designers all over the world, wouldn't do me any good where I was going. In the end, I decided to take a few of my favorites, along with my most valuable possessions.

"Yeah, I'm done," I said softly, sitting up from my chair. "I just can't believe this is happening, Ellie. Why is this happening?"

Eleanor walked over, giving me a big hug. I struggled to keep back the tears that had threatened to fall. I had cried so many times in the past few months. I still wanted this to all be a bad dream...

"Britt, it's going to be okay. It's not the end of the world," Eleanor said soothingly, slowly releasing me. "It's big, but I'm not convinced this is the end. As long as there is still hope, it's never the end."

Eleanor, always the optimist. She wasn't the only one who thought this wasn't what the news claimed. I guess, if you really look at it, it wasn't the end. It sure seemed that way from where I'm standing, though. The world would be flooded. I had read about this in Scriptures, and believed that it had happened in the past. But why was it happening again? Would it be as bad as it was all those years ago? Where would we go? Would we really be okay?

More importantly... why was it, out of all the people in the world, we were chosen, but our parents had to stay behind to suffer?

XOXOXOXOXO

Author's Note: Don't worry, this is just an introductory chapter. That's why it's so short!

So, a global flood, huh? Believe me, that's not the only thing they'll have to worry about. The flood's the least of their worries.

Next chapter will be up today, I think.
