Hello everyone! OK, this is my first story that has Charlene in it. They're 16 in this story and Alvin and Charlene have still been together for two years. This will be their third year if someone didn't come into the picture. Can you guess who that someone will be? CGI version btw. And told in Alvin and Brittany's point of view only.
Chapter 1: Planning for the Concert
Alvin's POV
I was sitting on the couch with Charlene sitting next to me with my arm wrapped around her as we discussed the concert that was happening in a week.
"I think we should have it The Chipmunks performing along with a guest act that could perform alone like you and your brothers. And then all of you can perform a song together as the final performance for the concert."
I looked at her. "But it's supposed to be The Chipmunks concert only. We can't have another act performing! Let alone with us!" I told her completely shocked at her idea.
"Oh Alvin, it will be fun! I mean, that's how we met each other right? Think about it, you could make friends with them! And who knows, if they were girls then we can hook the up with your brothers!" She smiled at me.
I sighed. "OK fine. I'll have a talk with Dave about that idea. But if he does agree to it then we'll need to find a group that can perform on the day." But I noticed her expression hasn't changed. It still had a smile on her face.
"Which is why I've got the perfect act for you! Mu cousins are like the best singers you can get and it'll be for free! You won't have to pay them for that day! Think of it like this, you'll be saving a lot of money. Not just earning them."
I smiled at the thought. "You know what baby, you are really smart you know that?" I smirked at her.
" Well, it can happen! I'm sure it was going to happen someday!" She rolled her eyes at me.
"Well then, I guess I better go tell Dave about this before the night of the concert" I said as I turned to leave the room and go upstairs.
I knocked on Dave's bedroom door and opened it to find Dave sorting out the tickets for the concert. He turned to me and smiled.
"Hey Alvin. I'm just sorting out the tickets for your concert. What is it?" He asked me.
I cleared my throat. "Well Dave. You see Charlene had a thought.."
I was cut off by Dave. "Charlene had a thought? This should be good." He turned his attention to me as if waiting for me to make him laugh.
"Well Dave. You see, Charlene thought maybe there could be a guest act to perform on stage. And then at the end of the concert for our final performance have them sing with us?" I doubt he would say yes but I had to tell him before saying no to Charlene.
But instead Dave smiled at the idea. "I think that's a great idea Alvin. For once she came up with a good idea. I better get to work then find a group to perform..."
I cut him off. "Dave, she has that part covered too. She thought maybe her cousins could perform. She claims they're really good singers." I told him.
"Charlene has cousins? I never knew that." He muttered the last part.
"Yeah she does. So can they?" I asked him putting my right hand in my jean pocket.
"Well, if she says they're good then I guess we could trust her. I just want to meet them first." He told me.
"Alright Dave I'll tell her to call them and have them come over. Oh! And Dave, when would you like them over?" I asked him still not knowing when they would be coming.
He thought. "How about on Thursday? Next week on Tuesday is the night of the concert." He looked over his papers.
I nodded. "Isn't that in like, two days?" I asked him raising an eyebrow.
"Yep." He simply said not bothering to look up from his papers.
I closed the door and made my way back downstairs where Charlene was waiting for me in the living room watching TV. As I made my way back in the room she turned her attention to me.
"Hey, so did Dave say yes?" She asked me with a smile as I sat down next to her.
"Yep." I put my arm over her head.
She jumped on me and hugged me tight squealing. "Yes! You are going to love them! I know I do!" She told me happily.
I smiled at her happy to know she is excited about it. But then I remembered something.
"Oh yeah. And Dave also said that he would like them to come over in two days." I told her.
Her expression changed to a look of surprisement. "What?" She almost screamed in panic.
I tried calming her down. "Char, what's wrong?" I asked her stroking her back.
"Alvin. My cousins don't live in California!" She exclaimed to me.
My eyes widened. "What do you mean?" Afraid of what the answer will be.
She started to panic even more. "I mean, they used to live in Australia before they moved to New York! How are they going to get over to L.A. in two days?" She asked me.
I was shocked and annoyed. "Char, why didn't you tell me this before you got me to tell Dave?" I asked her.
"Well, I didn't exactly know he was going to say yes! Now did I?" She was going crazy.
I tried to calm her down again. "OK. You know what. I'm going to tell Dave that and maybe he can rearrange some things. In the mean time relax. OK?" I told her smiling a bit at her before I kissed her on the lips.
I went back upstairs to Dave's bedroom again. I knocked the door and came in. He didn't even have to look at me.
"What is it this time Alvin?" Looking over his planner.
"Well, funny story. When Charlene told me that her cousins could perform on the night of the concert she didn't exactly know you were going to say yes. And speaking of that, she forgot to mention her cousins live in New York so..." I laughed a bit trying to hide my obvious nerves.
He looked at me in anger and frustration. "WHAT? Do you know what I had just done? I called the concert organizers and told them that the show is going to have a guest starring act and that they will be coming over in two days! How could this happen now?" He screamed in anger and panic as he started thinking of a plan.
"OK. Um, how about you get Charlene to call her cousins and tell them that they are coming over in two days to L.A. to meet her because they are going to be the guest starring act in your concert on Thursday. And I'll get to work sorting out the tickets for them all. Wait, how many of them are there?" He asked me.
"Well, I don't know. I'll go ask her." I told him as I rushed out to see her outside looking right at me.
"How did he take it?" She asked me nervously.
"Well, he's sorting out tickets for them right now. But he needs to know how many people are coming." I told her.
"Oh. Well there's my three cousins and aunt. So four tickets." She told me smiling.
"OK. And while he's doing that you need to call them and tell them everything." I told her.
She nodded. "Alright Alvin." She went back downstairs to call on the phone.
I went into Dave's room again. "Dave. There are four people coming." I told him.
He nodded. "Alright. Thanks Alvin. I better get to work then." As he got onto the travel booking website.
I went downstairs to see Charlene almost done with the phone call.
"OK I can't wait...Bye" She put the phone down and smiled at me. "They're coming."
I smiled at her. "That's great. Now I have to wait for Simon and Theodore to get back from the grocery store to tell them"
At that moment they saw a car pull up. It was Simon and Theodore back from the grocery store.
They went in and made their way straight to the kitchen.
Charlene and I went inside to tell them the news.
"Hey Alvin. Hey Charlene." Theodore greeted them both.
"Hey Theo. Listen, I got something to tell you that's really important. Simon, you listen too." I told them both.
"What it is it Alvin?" Theodore asked.
"Yeah. What's so important for you to tell us?" Simon asked me.
I looked at Charlene and she looked at me with a look to tell them. I looked back at them.
"Well, plans changed for the concert-" I was cut off by my brothers.
"WHAT?" They both exclaimed with a look of disbelief.
"Don't worry guys. Your concert wasn't cancelled. Just changed a bit." Charlene told them.
"What do you mean changed?" Simon told us.
"She means that Dave had our plans changed thanks to Charlene. Don't worry it's not for a bad reason it's actually for a good one. Anyway, there's this guest act performing on the day who are coming over in two days. Not only that, they're her cousins. Oh, and they live in New York." I purposely said that last.
"WHAT?" They exclaimed again.
"Relax guys! Dave is organizing everything. He knows what he's doing and her cousins will be over in two days along with their mum. Calm down."
"You're telling us that Dave is going to have the guest act and their mum come all the way from New York in two days?" He looked at me with doubt written all over his face.
"Yeah. And you know Dave. He canmake it happen." I told them.
They both sighed. "Alright Alvin. I guess you're right." Theodore told me.
I smiled at them happily. "Of course I'm right! I'm always right!" I told them cooly.
Simon only rolled his eyes at me. "Uh huh"
Charlene giggled a bit and I glared at her as she tried to put on an innocent act.
I wonder what will happen with Charlene's cousins. Will they like us? Will they want us to be our friend? So many questions popped into my head but shrugged them. I guess I'm going to have to wait to find out.
How was that for a start of how they meet? What will happen when they do meet? What will Alvin think? Review!
