MOVIE VERSION OF THE CHIPMUNKS. The first one-shot is called 'missing Jeanette and Simon romantic scene from The Squeakquel." This is my thought about what would have happened between those two.
It was of those lazy morning between classes at West Eastman High School. Packs of students were babbling the warmth away. Some were shooting hoops at the basketball field. Others again were watching one particular student from a distance. This student was playing chess by himself, trying to beat himself. But it wasn't the fact that this student was playing chess by himself that drew some attention to him. It was the fact that he was Simon Seville, a member of the popular band The Chipmunks. They left him alone thou, he seemed a bit irritated. And some knew why. The other day he was thrown in in the trashcan and then, unknowingly by the janitor, thrown in the garbage container. He also had a fight with his brother not much later, so he was …pretty edgy that day.
Simon moved a black chess piece, looked at the board for a moment and moved to the side where the white pieces were and looked at the board for a moment. He sighed.
"I'm Simon Seville, member of The chipmunks, one of the smartest kids that walk around here and still I have trouble making a friend to play chess with." He said to himself. "Sometimes it hard to be the only smart brother of three."
"Tell me about it." A voice behind him said. He froze when he recognized the voice. It was one of the Chipettes, the female Chipmunks that started school her a few days ago and who were also a band of singing chipmunks. He turned around and saw her. The Chipette with the glasses that immediately had caught his eye that day at the lockers. She was appearently a bit uncomfortable, if she was trying to decide that talking to him was such a good idea as she first thought. "H-hi." She said.
"H-hi." Simon stuttered back. "Y-you're …Jeanette, right?"
Jeanette giggled nervously. "Yeah. And you're Simon." She said, her pupils dilated a bit, as if she just realized she was talking to him.
"I know that." Simon chuckled, which made her giggle a bit more.
"Yeah, but I'm still kinda trying to figure out if I'm not dreaming this." She said.
"Well, you're not dreaming, Jeanette." Simon said. "I think that we'll talk easier if you came a bit closer."
Jeanette did a few shy steps in Simon's direction and then hesitated. It was after a smile of Simon that she took the courage to stand beside him.
"Sooo, you're also the smartest of the three?" Simon asked, not knowing what to say to this angel of the trees. "Also having trouble encouraging your siblings to play chess with you,"
"Yes on the first question and 'not really' on the second" Jeanette said, looking at the chess board. "Brittany doesn't want to play, but I play a lot with Eleanor, my younger sister. But she isn't really good at it and I beat her every time. But she enjoys playing."
"Then you have more luck than me on that one." Simon said. "I can't get Alvin, nor Theodore to play it, or even try it."
"W-will you play a game with me?" Jeanette asked shyly.
Simon was thrown off guard by the question. "W-w-would you? I mean, will you?" Simon asked. "I mean, off course. We'll just have to arrange the pieces again."
"Okay." Jeanette said, walking over to one side of the board. "I want to be white."
The two Chipmunks played their first game. It didn't take Simon very long to beat her.
"Checkmate." He said.
Jeanette stared at the board. Simon was afraid that he had hurt her feelings and just wanted to say something when she looked up and smiled brightly.
"Wanna play again?" She asked eagerly, already 'resetting' the pieces on the board.. "That was just a warm-up."
Simon smiled. "Really?" he asked, while he moved the pieces to their start position.L. "Try to beat me this time, okay."
"You're on." Jeanette said.
They played again and this time Jeanette won.
"Checkmate, Simon." She said, smiling the biggest smile she ever smiled.
Simon tried to figure out if he could make one more move. "If I …no …maybe that pawn …no …you win, Jeanette." He said, smiling at her.
The bell rang for the restart of the classes.
Jeanette waved at Simon and skipped of the table. Simon ran after her and stopped her.
"Jeanette, care to join me in another game of chess during the break in the afternoon?" He asked. "And this time we'll make it a real battle. Whaddaya say?"
"I say …okay." Jeanette said. "See you in the afternoon!" She skipped through the hall to the class, where her sister were waiting.
"C'mon, Jean." Eleanor said. "It's not like to be almost too late for class."
"Yeah, where were you?" Brittany asked.
"Playing chess …with Simon." Jeanette shyly said.
"YOU DID?" Brittany yelled. "Ahem, I mean …you did?"
"Yeah, he beat me the first time." Jeanette said dreamly.
"You don't seem to be too upset about it." Eleanor smiled, giving her sister a soft push with her elbow.
"It was …fun to be beaten for once, instead of beating you all the time, Eleanor." Jeanette smiled, walking with her sister over to their table. "Besides, I beat him the game after that."
"You go girl." Brittany said, first jumping on the chair and then on the table.
"I saw that he had fun too." Jeanette said. "We'll play again this afternoon."
"Jean, don't forget what Ian said about them." Brittany said.
"I know, but …" she said.
"But what?" Eleanor asked.
"I find it very hard to keep believing the things Ian told us." Jeanette said. "They don't seem that bad and you must know that best of all, Brittany."
"How's that?" Brittany asked.
"Well, you told us that Alvin spoke to you and tried to warn you about Ian." Eleanor said.
"When are you girls going to learn?" Brittany said. "Ian helped them to the top and they left him."
"But what if they had a good reason?" Jeanette asked.
"Please, Alvin can 'tell' that Ian put them in a cage, but can we check if that is true?" Brittany said. "It's not like that Ian is going to put US in a cage."
The teacher came in and the girls dropped their conversation.
"Oh, I will stay a bit longer at school this evening." Eleanor whispered to her sisters.
"Why's that?" Jeanette asked.
"I'm going to help miss Julie with Toys for Tods." Eleanor said. "And I heard that Theodore is going to help too."
The girls became quiet again and listened to the lesson. But Jeanette's thoughts kept drifting to Simon and their game of chess they would have later that day. She couldn't wait to see him again.
