A/N: Well here it is! The winner of Preview 2, Fairytales Aren't Real! Please R&R!
"Goodnight sweetheart." Twenty-three year old Brittany Miller said to her five year old daughter Amber as she kissed her cheek.
"Mama, can you tell me a story?" Amber asked sweetly as she looked up at her mother innocently.
Brittany gazed into her daughter's big blue eyes. "Just like her father's," She thought to herself as she felt her heart melt. "Of course darling. Which one do you want to hear?"
"The one about the two bands." Amber requested.
Brittany climbed into bed next to her daughter and Amber snuggled up next to her mother.
"Once upon a time," Brittany began the story, "there was a chipette who was in a band with her two sisters and one day she met a chipmunk who was in a band with his two brothers. Now this chipette's name was Brittany Miller and her sisters were Jeanette and Eleanor. The chipmunk's name was Alvin Seville and his brothers were Simon and Theodore. At first the two groups hated each other but over time the groups grew to like each other and then eventually they all fell in love."
"Who loved who Mama?" Amber asked.
Her mother smiled as she thought about her past. "Theodore and Eleanor fell in love, as did Simon and Jeanette, and eventually Alvin and Brittany."
"What happened to them?" The little chipette asked again.
"I've told you this story a million times. I don't see why you are so curious every time I tell it." Brittany exclaimed.
Amber giggled. "If I don't, you'll forget to tell me some things."
Her mother shook her head in response before she continued. "The two groups became closer than close. But then," Amber noticed how her mother stopped. She always did that when she got to this part of the story. It always made the little chipette worry even though she knew why it made her upset. Amber reached over and placed her tiny paw on her mother's larger one. Brittany smiled and gave her daughter's paw a squeeze before she continued in a strained voice, "the boys' band was offered a chance to go singing around the world while the girls' band was forced to stop preforming and soon forgotten."
"How old were they?"
"Eighteen." Her mother replied. "Can I continue now?"
"Wait!" Amber shouted before she began counting her fingers. "So they were twelve more years than me?"
"Thirteen years older than you." Her mother corrected.
"That's what I said." She protested stubbornly.
Brittany shook her head. "Of course you did sweetie."
Amber smiled smugly as she leaned back. "You may continue."
"Well the boys asked the girls if they should leave or not and the girls told them to go, even though they really didn't want them to. Unfortunately, the boys didn't know that the girls wanted them to stay so they left. Nine months after the boys left, Brittany gave birth to a beautiful baby girl that wasn't only hers but was also Alvin's."
"Mama, if Alvin and Brittany weren't married how come they had a baby?" Amber questioned.
Brittany smiled. She had told this story so many times she had the answer to this question down pact. "God saw that Alvin and Brittany loved each other so much that he decided they were ready for a baby even though they weren't married."
Her daughter nodded as a signal to continue the story.
"Brittany decided keep her precious gift from God instead of letting another family raise it since it reminded her so much of the munk she loved. She named the little girl Amber. Not just because the name was beautiful but also because she knew how Alvin always said he wanted his kid's names to start with "As"." Her mother continued.
"I like that name." Amber told her.
"I do too." Brittany agreed with a smile.
"So what happened to Brittany and Amber?"
"Well Brittany's mother grew very ill so she had to leave her hometown of Los Angeles and move to a small town in New York so she could get better. That's actually where Amber was born. After Brittany's mother died she moved in with her two sisters who help her raise her daughter."
"And her daughter?" Amber asked.
"Her daughter is beautiful and is the most wonderful daughter Brittany could have ever hoped for." Her mother replied before she kissed her forehead. "Goodnight Amber, sweet dreams."
"Night Mama."
Brittany walked over to the doorway but before she could turn off the lights Amber asked, "Mama, will Daddy come back for us?"
"I know he will sweetheart." Her mother told her confidently before she turned off the lights and left her daughter to sleep in peace.
"She's finally asleep." Brittany sighed as she joined her sisters on the living room couch.
"Did she ask to hear the story again?" Jeanette asked.
Her older sister nodded. "I don't see why she wants to hear that story every night."
"C'mon Britt, it's the story of her dad, how she came to the world, and all that other crap. If you had a story about our parents wouldn't you want to hear it all the time?" Eleanor asked.
Brittany shrugged. "I guess I would."
"And wouldn't you want your two favorite aunts to turn it into story?"
Brittany looked at her surprised. "You didn't."
Eleanor jumped up from her seat. "I'll go get it."
Jeanette rolled her eyes. "It was supposed to be a sixth birthday present for Amber, but El couldn't wait."
"It's fine." Brittany reassured her younger sister as she hugged her tightly.
"Here it is!" Eleanor said in a sing-song type voice as she came back clutching the book to her chest.
"Keep it down you'll wake Amber." Jeanette scolded.
The blonde chipette ignored her older sister and presented the book to Brittany. "Happy early birthday to Amber."
Brittany accepted the gift. "Thanks guys."
She flipped through the book and felt tears come to her eyes as she saw the bedtime story she told her daughter every night in a book with illustrations to match. "When did you do this?"
"That one night Amber came in after you had already tucked her in and asked to hear this story, I wrote it all down as you told her. I was working out all the details when Eleanor caught me asked me if she could do the pictures."
"You drew these?" Brittany asked Eleanor surprised.
She nodded. "Yeah, you like them?"
"I love them. You even drew Alvin with that stupid cap!"
Eleanor giggled. "Yeah, like someone could draw the Alvin Seville without his famous cap."
"True," Brittany agreed. "But how did you guys turn it into a book."
"Well I have a friend who's a publisher and she promised to turn this one into a book as long as I wrote another children's book that she could actually present to her boss and possible sell."
"That's incredible Netta." Brittany said as she flipped through the book some more.
"Do you guys mind if we watch "Red Carpet News" now? I really want to see who was on the worst and best dressed list?" Eleanor asked.
Brittany nodded. "Sure, go ahead."
"Is that why you recorded it?" Jeanette asked.
The youngest chipette nodded. "Yep!"
"Welcome to Red Carpet News. Coming up is our picks of the Best and Worst Dressed picks from the red carpet, does Alvin Seville lead singer of The Chipmunks have a new lady, and how do some of the top celebrities remove years off of their faces? Stayed tune to find out."
Brittany stared at the woman on TV when she heard the story on Alvin. "Fast forward to the story on Alvin."
"On it," Eleanor replied as she fast forward until Alvin's picture came on the screen.
"Rewind a bit." Brittany ordered. "Now stop!"
The three girls listened intently as the woman on the TV said, "Alvin Seville leader of the famous band The Chipmunks was seen last night having dinner with his co-star Anna-Marie Roberts. The two starred in the movie, 'Dinner For Two,' which premiers this summer. Alvin Seville says "It's nothing serious, at least not yet." Back to you George."
Brittany stared at the TV in shock. She only knew a couple of things about Anna-Marie Roberts. She was beautiful, she used to be a model for a clothing line before she starred in one of her favorite movies, and did she mention she was beautiful?
"Britt," Jeanette began.
"No, I don't want to hear it." Brittany said as she grabbed the book.
"What are you doing?" Jeanette asked as she watched her sister lower the ladder that led to the attic.
Brittany stormed up the ladder not responding.
Jeanette and Eleanor quickly followed their sister up the ladder and into their small attic. "What are you doing Britt?" Jeanette asked concerned as they watched Brittany throw the book into one of the boxes.
"I don't want my daughter to know anything about her jackass father." Brittany told them, a couple of tears running down her cheeks as she quickly turned back to them. "And you aren't going to tell her anything."
"Britt, why don't you come downstairs and we'll watch the worst and best dressed people." Eleanor said.
"Promise me," Brittany demanded, her voice rising.
"We promise." Jeanette said for the both of them.
Brittany nodded content before she wiped her eyes with her sleeves and headed down the ladder.
Eleanor and Jeanette exchanged concerned looks before they followed their elder sister downstairs.
The three sisters sat back down on the couch and after watching all of the worst dressed and most of the best dressed, Brittany seemed to have calmed down. Although it was still obvious she was upset about Alvin.
"Alright here's the best dressed." Eleanor said. "Who do we think it's going to be?"
"So many women rocked red on the carpet last night but without a doubt Anna-Marie Roberts nailed it. Her dress looked so elegant and she wore just the right jewelry to go with it. That's why without a doubt she's number on the best dressed list,"
"She wore red since it's Alvin's color." Brittany said trying not to cry.
"You don't know that Britt." Jeanette began but Brittany stood up before she could finish.
"I'm going to bed. Thank you for the book, it's too bad Amber won't be able to read it." She said obviously close to tears before she turned around and raced to her bedroom.
Jeanette stood up to go after her when Eleanor grabbed her arm to stop her. "Jeanette, you don't really think Brittany's not going to tell Amber anything about her dad, do you?"
The bespectacled chipette shook her head. "I have no idea Ellie. I honestly have no idea."
