Author's Note: Hey guys what's up? I've been a major Chipmunk fan since the Squeakquel and I've been so excited for the new movie but I just couldn't wait forever so I just started searching the internet for anything Chipmunks to keep me occupied. And I accidently stumbled upon this site :) I've been reading stories for a while and have loved it but I decided it's time I write some.

So yea this is my first story.

This takes place a couple weeks after the Squeakquel.

...

"Come on! Get up!" yelled a distant sounding voice.

"Go away," Brittany grumbled without opening her eyes.

"Come on, you've gotta get up already! Do you even know what time it is?"

Brittany slowly peeled one of her eyes open and peered at Alvin as he shook her shoulder. "Who cares? It's Saturday, isn't it?" She groaned as she rolled over on her belly and tried to go back to sleep.

"Saturday means sleeping in, not slipping into a coma," Alvin chuckled as he hopped of her bed and walked over to the door. "Besides, everybody else has been awake for almost two hours now."

"Ugh, you guys are crazy," Brittany mumbled as she slowly sat up.

"Or maybe you're turning into a zombie!" Alvin laughed as he hopped out of the room.

Haha, very funny, Brittany thought as she hopped out of bed and walked over to the bathroom. She hopped up onto the sink and looked into the mirror.

"Ugh, my hairs a mess," she complained to herself, grabbing a nearby brush to comb through her messy auburn hair. After a couple minutes of working with it, she finally got her hair fixed into her usual style: tied back with one bang hanging near her left eye. Satisfied, she brushed her teeth and went back to her room and opened her dresser.

Hmm, what should I wear today? She wondered, thinking of Alvin. Taking a quick inventory of her multitude of clothes, she finally decided on a light teal long-sleeved shirt with a jean jacket and a light pink skirt with a glimmering purple stripe across the middle along with her usual pink and purple striped tie.

After getting dressed, she headed downstairs to the mouth watering smell of cooking food. Mmm, smells tasty, she thought to herself, noticing how hungry she was.

"What's for breakfast?" she asked as she walked into the kitchen where everybody was hanging out.

"You mean lunch?" Theodore corrected, busy retrieving a package of cheese from the fridge.

Lunch? Brittany thought, alarmed, as she looked over at the clock.

3:12 PM.

Whoa! I did sleep too long! She thought to herself, blinking owlishly in surprise.

"Uh yeah," she said, "what's for lunch?"

"We're having grilled cheese sandwiches!" Eleanor replied excitedly from her place watching over the toaster.

"Sounds great," Brittany said with a smile as she watched Theodore help Eleanor place individual slices of cheese on perfectly crisp, brown pieces of toast.

"Hey," Brittany paused in her appreciation of the food, just noticing her red-clad crush was not present. "Where's Alvin?"

"Oh, he went outside to help Dave with Claire's party preparations," Simon said without looking up from the chess game he was playing with Jeanette.

"Oh that's right! I totally forgot today's Claire's birthday!" Brittany exclaimed.

"Yeah, that's expected," said a voice from behind. Alvin and Dave had just walked into the kitchen.

"Hehe, yeah, I guess so. Sorry Dave," Brittany said as she rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment.

"It's okay Brittany, Alvin here forgot too," Dave said, motioning to Alvin with a smirk.

"Also expected," Alvin replied with a sheepish grin.

Everyone laughed lightly at this, knowing full well of Alvin's notorious memory when it came to birthdays and all other things not relating directly back to the crimson clad chipmunk in question.

"Anyway, lunch is ready!" Eleanor said as she and Theodore carried everyone's plates to the table.

"Oh good, getting my butt whooped is making me hungry," Jeanette said, laughing good naturedly at her opponent.

"Oh you were doing fine," Simon said with an encouraging grin as he helped Jeanette carry the board off the table.

"You sure about that Simon?" Alvin asked, sneaking a quick peek at the board before grimacing.

Simon shot him a glare.

"Anyway, how do you think Claire will like her presents?" Dave asked, cutting the minor argument short as he bit into his sandwich.

"Oh, I think she'll love me and Ellie's!" Theodore said happily with his mouth half-full of food. "We worked real hard on it!"

Eleanor watched him and grinned to herself.

"Yeah! We drew her a big family picture poster," she said, laughing a little as Theodore smiled even bigger, some of the food spilling from his cheeks as Brittany made a 'yuck' noise.

"Well that's good, I'm sure she'll think it's really thoughtful," Dave nodded to Eleanor.

"So, what did you get her Alvin?" Dave turned to the chipmunk across the table, who was busy trying to shove a half of his sandwich in his mouth and only slightly succeeding.

Alvin paused, feeling everyone's eyes suddenly shift to him as they all watched to see how he was going to handle the piece of food half his size. As the silence stretched on, Dave finally lost his patience.

"Alvin!" Dave yelled, before choking on a bite of food himself.

Alvin finally spit the now slimy piece of sandwich back onto his plate, panting. "Oh, me and Britt worked together too, but we wanted to keep it a surprise," Alvin said, nonchalant and slightly annoyed at his interrupted sandwich swallowing.

"Okay..." Dave said, slowly and not without a suspiciously raised eyebrow. "What about you Simon? What did you and Jeanette get?"

"Well, we thought it would be nice to make her a necklace and sweater," he said, giving Jeanette a smile as she nodded.

"Sounds nice," Dave said, impressed. Standing from the table Dave ran a hand through his hair. "Well, anyway, I gotta go to the store to pick up a few things for later. Toby's gone, so can I trust you guys to handle the house yourselves for a while?" Dave questioned as he gathered everybody's plates and put them into the sink. He turned back around to see all six chipmunks with their mouths hanging open, staring at him in unabashed shock.

"What?" he asked confused.

"You... are gonna leave us alone? With nobody to watch us?" Alvin asked, clear surprise on his face.

"Well yeah, I have no choice. Besides, you guys have been left alone before."

"Yeah, like once, for like three minutes as you walked across the street," Simon said, also in shock.

"Well, if you'd rather have someone watch-"

"NO!" Alvin and Brittany yelled at the same time.

Dave smirked, clearly unsurprised.

Brittany was quick to right any damage. "Well, we mean that it's fine, we can take care of ourselves for a while," she assured, trying not to sound too excited.

"Good, cause I need to trust you guys," Dave said, looking at them seriously.

"Oh Dave, you can count on us!" Alvin almost yelled as he hopped over onto Dave's shoulder trying to kiss him on the cheek.

"Okay, okay, I get it," he said, pushing the chipmunk from his shoulder. Alvin spun mid-air, landing on the ground with a flourish. Dave rolled his eyes. "Alright, I'm going to go get ready. Eleanor, do you think you can fix me another sandwich to go?" Dave asked as walked out of the kitchen.

"Sure Dave! No problem!" Eleanor said, shooting him a thumbs-up before going to get the bread.

"Thanks," he said as he walked up the stairs.

All was silent as the five remaining chipmunks wondered at the fact that Dave was finally starting to trust them.

"This is so cool," Jeanette said, clasping her hands together happily.

"I gotta agree with you on that one Jean," Simon said, "I never thought this day would come."

"Come on guys, face it, Dave is starting to trust us!" Alvin said, smirking.

"Yeah, and knowing you Alvin, that's pretty surprising," Theodore chuckled as a million and one "Alvin antics" flashed through his mind.

"I know right?" Alvin agreed, laughing along with his brother.

"So, what are we gonna do while he's gone?" Eleanor asked, excited, as she popped her head in from the kitchen.

Alvin rubbed his paws together, eyes glinting mischievously. "Oh, I can think of a few things."

"Alvin..." Brittany warned.

"Oh don't worry Britt, I'm not gonna get us in trouble the very first time Dave decides to trust us," Alvin assured her, looking at her as if she were crazy.

But she didn't buy it. Jeanette rolled her eyes.

...

"Alright guys, I'm leaving now!" Dave yelled from the living room and all six chipmunks hopped down from the counter to say their goodbyes.

"Here you go Dave," Eleanor said as she handed him a grilled cheese sandwich neatly packaged in plastic wrap.

"Thanks Ellie," Dave said, smiling. "Alright guys, I'll be back around 6:30," he added with a glance at his watch.

"Okay, bye Dave!" they all chorused.

"Bye guys," he said as he walked out, shutting the door behind him.

"So, what do you guys wanna do now?" Jeanette asked, smiling.

Alvin looked at them all, a devilish grin working its way onto his furry face.

"Let's have some fun."

...

So what did you guys think? I think I did a pretty good job. But it did take me a little while coming up with dialogue...not really skilled in carrying conversations on. And yea I know this may not be the most interesting of stories considering all the others out there but I'm just starting off. It'll get better and this'll help with future stories so give plenty reviews please.

Also I might need a couple ideas on what they should do. Give me some ideas!
