The Surprises after High School
Chapter 1: Happy Valentine's Day!
I'm baaaaaack! Yep yep, that's right and I am back with a brand new story! This is the sequel to "The Surprises of High School" so if you haven't read it, go read that before you read this one so you know what's going on! Just to fill you guys in, it has been a year since Kaitlin left for Cuba. Alvin and Simon are 19, Theodore is 17, Kaitlin is 18, Brittany and Jeanette are 19, and Eleanor is 17. They all have graduated except for Theodore and Eleanor who are seniors now. Ok, on to the FIRST chapter!
"Ok, you guys ready?" Brittany asked as they stopped in front on the hotel room that said 26 on the door. "Yeah!" Eleanor and Jeanette said excitedly in unison. "Ok." Brittany said as she knocked on the door. They heard some shuffling coming from inside the room and then they heard the door unlock. When it opened there stood Kaitlin. "KAITLIN!" The three girls yelled as they attacked Kaitlin in a hug. "Oh my god! I'm so glad that you girls are finally here!" Kaitlin said as she let the girls in and shut the door. "We got ready as soon as you called and asked us to stay." Eleanor said as she took a seat in one of the white chairs.
"I'm so glad to see you, it's been a year right?" Kaitlin asked. "Yeah." Jeanette said. "You girls look great by the way, and I see that you let your hair grow out Eleanor." Kaitlin said as she admired Eleanor's golden hair that came to the middle of her shoulder blades. "Thank you, your hair got longer to!" Eleanor said as she pointed out that Kaitlin's usually short hair was down just below her shoulder blades. "Thanks, I also got it dyed black underneath too!" Kaitlin said as she flipped her hair over to show off the black.
"So Kaitlin, have you seen Alvin since you got back?" Brittany asked as she flopped down on the bed. "Well, I just got in yesterday and he had a concert to do. He said he was going to come and see me either tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow tonight after he got everything done." Kaitlin explained as she sat on the bed next to Brittany. "I think that it is wonderful that you get to see him for the first time in a year on Valentine's Day tomorrow." Jeanette said. "I know!" Kaitlin squealed in excitement.
"So, what do you think he got you for Valentine's Day?" Eleanor asked. "I don't know, but I feel bad that I don't have anything to give him!" Kaitlin said. "What? Why?" Brittany asked. "Well, I wasn't supposed to come down here for another month so I went ahead and sent him his Valentine's Day present a week ago." Kaitlin laughed. "So I guess you're covered for tomorrow." Brittany said.
"Speaking of presents, I have something for you." Jeanette said as she walked over to her duffle bag. "Really? What is it?" Kaitlin asked excitedly as she waited on the bed. Jeanette pulled out a large box with holes punched in the top. "Here you go." Jeanette said as she placed the box in Kaitlin's lap. Kaitlin carefully removed the lid and to her surprise out popped a fluffy, white baby puppy. "OH MY GOD! Jeanette, he is soooo cute!" She said as she removed the puppy from the box and held it up to her face. The puppy started to lick her face. "I'm glad you like it. I know that you have to be alone on the road most of the time so I thought that he would help keep you happy." Jeanette said. "So what are you going to name him?" Brittany asked as she patted the puppy on the head. "Hmmm…I want it to be a Cuban name…….Javier!" Kaitlin said. "Thanks again Jeanette." She said as she hugged her friend.
"Oh, I like your cd Kaitlin's!" Eleanor said, changing the subject. "Thanks Eleanor, I'm really proud of how well it's selling. What song is your favorite?" Kaitlin asked. "Bleeding Love!" All three girls said in unison. "That tends to be the favorite." Kaitlin laughed. "I heard that there is actually a story behind the song." Jeanette said. "Yeah, I actually wrote the song when me and the boys were being held hostage last year about Alvin." Kaitlin told them. "Aww, that's sweet." Eleanor said.
"How did you manage to get signed on in Cuba anyways?" Brittany asked. "It was all because of Alvin" Kaitlin said happily. All the girls awed in unison. "I know! It was sweet, and I am very grateful to him for doing so." Kaitlin said as she walked over to a dresser located in the room. "It's so cool that you're both big singing sensations and you're dating!" Eleanor said romantically. "It is a weird coincidence, isn't it?" Kaitlin asked as she took some clothes into the bathroom to change. When she came back into the room she was wearing short, knee high yellow socks, and Alvin's hoodie.
"Hey, you're wearing one of Alvin's hoodies!" Brittany pointed out. "How did you get it? Did he send it to you or something?" Jeanette asked. "No, the day I left he gave it to me so I wouldn't forget him." Kaitlin said as she grabbed her brush off of the dresser and began to brush her hair. "Did you give him anything?" Eleanor asked. "Yep, I gave him a necklace with a key on it." Kaitlin said. "What did it go to?" Brittany asked curiously. "I told him it was to my heart." She said shyly. Once again the chipettes awed while Kaitlin just rolled her eyes and laughed. "Well, I don't know about you girls but I am ready for bed." Kaitlin said. "We are too. We've been up since seven this morning." Brittany said. "I'm going to bed now, feel free to go to bed whenever you want." Kaitlin said as she climbed into the king sized bed.
The Next Morning...
Kaitlin was awoken from her sleep when the sound of her song "Bleeding Love" started to play on her cell phone. She slowly crawled to the end of the bed, occasionally bumping one of the girls with hand or leg which they would let her know by saying "ouch", to get to her purse. She started to search through it until she found her phone. "Wow, you have an iPhone?" Brittany said as she sat up. "Yeah." Kaitlin said as a message flashed across the screen.
"Who is it?" Jeanette asked as she came out form under the covers. "It says that it is a video message from Alvin." Kaitlin said smiling. "Really? Let's watch it." Eleanor said as she quickly made her way to the end of the bed with her sisters and Kaitlin, with the puppy right behind her. "Ok." Kaitlin said as she selected accept on the screen and then turned the phone on its side to make the picture bigger, making sure she didn't hit the Javier in the head who was sitting right next to her. When the video came on it showed Alvin standing at a microphone stand with a guitar, Simon with a bass guitar, and Theodore sitting behind a drum set. "Just wanted to call and say Happy Valentine's Day babe." Alvin said into the mic before starting to play his guitar.
Alvin: "We're on this roller-coaster ride, hold on I'll stay here by your side
We head up to the sky and the slide back down.
Upside down trying to figure out, not sure if we could work it out
I wanna be alone but you feel like home"
Alvin, Simon, and Theodore: "Answer the phone; I know that you're home
I wanna get you alone, and do it again, do it again.
Answer the phone; I know that you're home
I wanna get you alone and does it again, do it again"
Alvin: "The signals are all flashing red, it doesn't matter what was said
This bed is much too big without me and you
This all seems so ridiculous, why can we both get over this?
Don't make me say the obvious without you."
Alvin, Simon, and Theodore: "Answer the phone; I know that you're home
I wanna get you alone and do it again, do it again
Answer the phone; I know that you're home
I wanna get you alone and do it again, do it again"
Simon and Theodore: "I practiced all my lines to a telephone while you were sleeping
I practiced all my lines to a telephone while you were sleeping
I practiced all my lines to a telephone while you were sleeping"
Alvin: "I remember the way you curled your toes
On the side of the stage at all our show
And the glow on your face just because of one blow
And I wake up in the morning and you're wearing my clothes"
Alvin, Simon, and Theodore: "Answer the phone; I know that you're home
I wanna get you alone and do it again, do it again
Answer the phone; I know that you're home
I wanna get you alone and do it again, do it again"
Alvin: "do it again, do it again
And do it again, do it again
I wanna do it again, do it again
And do it again, do it again."
When the song was done a message appeared on the screen that said "Save video? Yes or No?", which Kaitlin selected yes to. "That was so sweet!" Eleanor squealed as Kaitlin got up from the bed and put the phone back in her purse. "He does stuff like that all the time, he just usually doesn't get Simon or Theodore to help." Kaitlin said as she straightened her socks. "Well, it's Valentine's Day today. He has a reason to now." Brittany said as she got up from the bed. "I guess so." Kaitlin said as she brushed her hair.
"Umm, Kaitlin..." Jeanette said as she stood looking into the main room of her hotel room. "What Jeanette?" Kaitlin asked as she put the brush back on the dresser. "You better come see this." Jeanette said. Kaitlin walked over to where Jeanette was with Eleanor and Brittany right behind her. "Oh my god!" Kaitlin exclaimed as she looked into the main room. The whole room was filled with Valentine's Day balloons, stuffed teddy bears and red, pink, white, and yellow roses.
"This is soo pretty!" Brittany said as the girls made their way into the room. Kaitlin walked over to a vase of red roses and took the card out of it. "To Kaitlin, just wanted to show you how much I love you and missed you. Happy Valentine's Day, Love Alvin." Kaitlin read aloud. "Aww, he does actually care about someone other than himself." Brittany laughed.
"Hey guys, I have a question." Eleanor said. "What Ellie?" Brittany asked. "You know in the video that Alvin sent Kaitlin, did you pay attention to the room they were in?" She asked. "No, why?" Jeanette asked. "Well, I'm just now noticing it, but I think it looked like the lobby of the hotel downstairs."No way, it couldn't be." Jeanette said. "Or could it?" Kaitlin said before racing to the door.
The Chipettes quickly ran after her as she made her way down the stairs until they reached the lobby. When the reached the lobby Kaitlin began to frantically look around. "I don't see him." Brittany said. "See who?" A voice asked from behind them. "ALVIN!" Kaitlin screamed as she jumped on him.
Awwww, wasn't that a sweet chapter? Well, I thought it was. I really wanted to do a Valentine's Day chapter just because of the whole idea of Alvin sending her a video message that he was recording just downstairs in the lobby and then filling the main room of her room with Valentine's Day stuff would be really romantic. Alright I hope you enjoyed it, now go and review! P.S. The song is called "Answer the Phone" by Sugar Ray.
