Is she a angel ?
Dave and Claire Seville we're standing on the pavement outside their house along with their three young sons Alvin, Simon and Theodore, they was all waving off their long time friends and neighbours the Swann family, who we're moving out to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to be closer to a older relative, Dave walked over to Jasper Swann
"goodbye Jasper and good luck for the future my friend" Dave said as he shook hands with Jasper while Claire moved to say goodbye to his wife and her friend Stephanie
"all the best for the future, its been great knowing you, keep it contact" Claire said giving her friend a hug, while Dave and Claire we're saying their goodbyes, Alvin, Simon and Theodore were saying their own goodbyes to the Swann sisters
"goodbye Isabella, goodbye Alice, goodbye Victoria" the boys said as they gave a hug to each sister, five minutes later the children we're all seated in the back of Jasper's 7-seater car, Alvin stepped forward and placed his hand on the window while Isabella did the same on the other side of the window, they stayed like this until Jasper pulled away and began the journey to a new life, Alvin just stood there with his arm raised in the same position for another minute with tears in his eyes until Claire called out to him to come back in, Alvin made his way back inside where he made his way up to his bedroom, once inside he climbed on to his bed and buried his face in his pillow and started crying.
"ALVIN, SIMON, THEODORE LUNCH TIME" Claire called out into the garden where she saw Simon and Theodore playing out on the plastic swing set,
"Simon, where's Alvin" Dave asked when only he and Theodore came into the kitchen "he's up in his room crying" Simon answered,
"I'll go and check on him" Claire said making her way up to Alvin's bedroom, she knocked on his door lightly before coming in "Alvin sweetie, what's wrong" Claire asked, sitting on the edge of his bed
"m-my b-best f-friend is g-gone and I-I-I'll n-never s-see her a-again" Alvin sobbed, Claire pulled the six year old chipmunk into her arms and began to comfort him "I know your upset now…but you will find a new best friend" Claire told him
"b-b-but I s-still w-want Isabella around" Alvin continued to sob, Claire continued to comfort Alvin for the next ten minutes until Alvin felt calm enough to come downstairs for lunch, when they got downstairs Claire gave Simon and Theodore a look telling them not to tease Alvin about him crying, "what happened" Dave asked, looking over at Claire "Isabella" Claire mouthed to him, Dave just nodded and looked over at Alvin who was just eating without talking with his brothers with a sad expression painted on his face
A few days later, Dave and Claire noticed that somebody was around to view the house, so in good spirit they went out to welcome their prospective new neighbours, Dave and Claire caught the viewer as she was leaving, "hi there…what did you think of the house" Dave asked the old lady who had come out of the house
"oh hello…the house is totally lovely…I'm Beatrice Miller" Ms Miller said as she shook hands with Dave and Claire "and we are Dave and Claire Seville" Dave replied shaking hands with her, Alvin had just noticed that Ms Miller had a auburn haired little girl with her
"and this is my eldest daughter Brittany Miller" she added placing her hands on Brittany's shoulders Dave and Claire both than greeted Brittany and started to make small talk with Ms Miller, Alvin started tugging on Claire's sleeve "yes Alvin"? she asked looking down at her son "is she an angel"? he asked indicating Brittany, who heard this and blushed
"hi I'm Alvin" Alvin said shyly as he went over to talk to Brittany "I'm Brittany" the auburn haired girl replied, but before Alvin and Brittany could get talking properly Ms Miller called her over to leave
"sorry Alvin but I got to go…it was nice meeting you…I hope we buy this house so I can see you again" Brittany said apologetically as she got back into her mothers car, Alvin stood out and watched the car get smaller and smaller as it drove further into the distance, he then walked back into the house in a much happier mood than before
Over the next week and a half four more people came by to visit the property but the only person Alvin was interested in seeing again was Brittany Miller, a few more weeks went by and Alvin got a little more upset at the thought that he may never see her again, which he thought was odd as he had only met her for five minutes, but he had liked her instantly from her cute button nose to her long auburn hair tied back into a ponytail, he was to young to understand but Dave and Claire could tell that Alvin had a crush on Brittany, yet more time went by and Alvin became more and more desperate about Brittany, "I really want her to move in…I feel like she could be my new best friend…I just felt there was a special…um, errr…something between us" Alvin told Claire for the millionth time while she was tucking him into bed and picking out a bedtime story to read to him
"she seems like a really sweet girl" Claire said carefully choosing her words as not to give the young chipmunk any false hope "goodnight superstar" Claire said as she gave Alvin a kiss goodnight before turning out his main light and switching on his nightlight "goodnight mum" Alvin yawned as Claire left his room. One month after their initial meeting Alvin and Brittany crossed paths once again as Ms Miller decided to view the house one more time before deciding whether or not to put in a bid on the house, when she had finished the viewing Dave and Claire once again came out to see how she was doing, Alvin followed them out just in time to hear Brittany begging Ms Miller to buy the house "Brittany…behave yourself" Ms Miller reprimanded
"sorry about that David…I think I will actually put a offer in on this house" Ms Miller told Dave and Claire going back to the original conversation topic, Alvin and Brittany, who we're listening carefully both looked at each other and their eyes lit up, "does this mean that we can be friends when I move in"? Brittany asked "we're already friends now" Alvin told her "oh…maybe we could be best friends…if you want to" Brittany said "I would like that a lot" Alvin replied.
A short while later Ms Miller and Brittany left to go and speak to the estate agents before returning back home to start preparing for their move, a week before Ms Miller and her daughters we're due to move in, Alvin started working on a welcoming present for Brittany, it was a homemade card saying
To my new best friend
I am so glad you moved next door to me
Love from Alvin
the day when Brittany was moving in had finally arrived and Alvin had done nothing but sit down looking outside of the living room window all morning just waiting for her car to come along and park up.
a few hours later Alvin saw the Miller's mini van pull up outside the now abandoned house and he saw a young girl dressed entirely in pink stepped out of the car and looked up at her new house "BRITTANY" Alvin called out as he ran out and threw his arms around her "hi Alvin" she giggled as she hugged him back
