A week has now passed since Brittany died due to blows on her organs such as her liver, her intestines and her kidneys received by Sam who claimed to be the chipette's father and everyone believed his little story, however Alvin didn't fully believed him. A day later after Brittany died, a test was performed on Sam's and Brittany's body and their DNA did not match therefore he couldn't be the father of the girls. That was great news to everyone even for Alvin because he believed that Brittany and her sisters did not deserve a murderer as their father. The Seville family were still suffering that Brittany wasn't with them anymore and Dave had tried to cheer them all up by telling them that they were going on tour the upcoming summer however, this did not cheer them up, it only made their pain get worse because they knew that if they were going on tour, it would remind them of Brittany who always talked about being in the spotlight however, the one who was suffering the most was Alvin. He wouldn't eat, he would stay in bed all day crying and would look at pictures of Brittany. He even kept Brittany's pink vest and treasured it. Eleanor and Jeanette were concerned for Alvin's health so they told him that Brittany wouldn't like that he was suffering and locked in his room 24/7, she would like for him to move on but, Alvin couldn't. Dave had let Alvin stay home from school for a few days now because he knew that Alvin wouldn't concentrate on his classes.
Alvin blamed himself for Brittany's death, he felt that the most important piece of him was missing.
Tuesday morning 7:23am
The chipmunks and the two female chipmunks, we're downstairs early, eating because it was a school day. However one of them was missing and that was Alvin.
Dave glances at his watch and says "I'll be back you guys" he gets up from his chair and leaves the dinning room to the chipmunks room. He opens the door and sees Alvin under the covers. He approaches him before shaking him gently. "Alvin, Alvin wake up" after waiting a few seconds to get a response, Dave takes the covers off his head and is heartbroken by what he sees. Alvin was sleeping peacefully while he had dried tears and was hugging Brittany's pink vest. Dave didn't want to wake up his son however, he knew that Alvin couldn't miss anymore days of school.
"Alvin please wake up" Dave shook him a bit harder which works. Alvin stirs and opens his eyes which had eye bags. "Uh wha, what is it Dave?"he questions before rubbing his eyes. "It's time to get ready for school, please get dressed and go downstairs to eat because it's almost time for y'all to leave" Dave said as he checked Alvin's forehead to see if he had a fever. "Dave I don't want to go to school" Alvin groans as he puts the covers over his face. Dave glances at his watch and sees that they had five minutes left to go. "Alvin come on, you can't miss anymore days so, it's time to get up and get ready quickly or y'all will be late" Dave said as he lifts the covers completely off his son. "Ugh fine" responded Alvin hopping off his bed and makes his way to the bathroom. Dave noticed that Alvin smelled funny because he hasn't showered for a week. "Alvin, before you brush your teeth, I want you to take a shower okay" Alvin who was about to enter the bathroom, turns to face Dave and says "but I thought you wanted me to get dressed quickly so we can get to school on time?" Dave approaches him and pets his head before saying "I changed my mind, so I'll go drop off your brothers first and then I'll come back for you. I'm sure that your teacher will understand for you being late" Alvin doesn't say anything and goes in the bathroom.
Dave looks as his son walks away before looking at his bed to see the pink vest. He walks to it and picks it up before hugging it. A tear ran down his cheek as flashbacks came to his mind. Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Alvin decides to brush his teeth first instead of taking a shower because he always forgets to brush his teeth when he takes a shower first. As he's looking for the small tooth paste, he caught a glimpse of something pink in the mirror so, he looks at it but sees nothing but his reflection. he finally he finds the tooth paste and as he was pouring some on his tooth brush, he hears "Alvin" which makes him look around the bathroom.
"That's funny, I thought I heard my name being called" he whispered and started to brush his teeth. "Alvin" he hears it again so he pauses and questions loudly "Dave is that you? Simon are you calling me? Anyone?" he doesn't get a response so he resumes brushing his teeth. After getting rid of the remaining tooth paste in his mouth, he decided to wash his face. As he's doing that, he hears "Alvin" again but more loudly. Alvin turns around but sees no one. "Okay Simon, I know that's yo so stop it" he says but still doesn't receive an answer. Alvin glances at his reflection and his heart skipped a beep, his blood felt cold and he couldn't breath. He wasn't looking at his reflection anymore, instead it was Brittany's. Her reflection kept staring at him for and after a minute, she says "Alvin" which makes him drop his tooth brush. "Br, Br, Br, Brittany?" the name escaped his mouth as he takes a some steps back. "Alvin? It's... you, It's really you" said her reflection with those blue eyes that Alvin missed looking at. Meanwhile he couldn't speak, it was like he lost his tongue as he saw someone who he thought wouldn't see again. "No no this can't be real, no I must be dreaming or I'm going crazy" mumbled Alvin as his back reached the wall.
"Alvin, what has happened? It's really me and I'm still dead but, my spirit is still here" said the reflection. Alvin takes a deep breath before saying "Br, Brittany are you sure it's you?" he takes a step forward. The reflection smiles and says "yes it's me and I have been with you this whole time since I was killed by my dad... Or should I say Sam who lied about being my dad" Alvin wasn't that afraid anymore and questions her "Really? How can you have been with me this whole time if you didn't appear sooner?" Brittany puts her hand on the other side of the mirror and says "it's because I was very devastated to know that Sam wasn't my dad, so I needed some time alone in your body" Alvin look at her both shocked and confused. "What? Why did it devastate you that you to know Sam wasn't your dad? A murderer who took you away from us. Also, what do you mean that you needed some time alone in my body?" he questions her as he approached the mirror even more.
Brittany frowns and looks down and says "Alvin, even though Sam killed me, I was devastated to know that he wasn't my dad because I realized that I never got to know anything about my real dad. It made me feel lonely, my sisters and I don't know anything about our real father. Even if Sam was my dad which he isn't, I would still love him no matter what kind of monster he was. I would prefer him to be my dad instead of him not being my dad and not knowing who my real dad is. By the way, when I said that I needed some time alone in your body, I meant that I was in your body, in your heart crying. Your love for me is what made me feel better and it gave me the energy to show my self and speak to you so, here I am right now in front of you" Alvin's mind processed what she just said which took him a few seconds.
After a few seconds of silence, Alvin begins cry softly which concerns Brittany. "Alvin what's wrong?" he wipes his tears and says "nothing, it's just that I thought that I would never see you again and I'm crying of happiness that I was wrong" Brittany smiles a bit before saying "I'm so happy to see you again as well Alvin" Both of them wanted embrace each other but, they knew it was impossible. "I wish I could have you in my arms right now" said Alvin as he touched the mirror. "Me to but, I'm inside your remember? So I'm with you" replied the reflection. Suddenly Alvin wants to know something, "wait, when someone dies, don't their spirit go to heaven or something?" the reflection replies "yes some do but others who were evil don't however, my spirit has remained here because, i think it has to do when we fused our spirits and our love for each other remember? My spirit must've adapted it self with yours so, it's like I'm still alive except, I don't have my body anymore" Alvin looks at her happy and then sad. "I'm so glad that you're still with us but I'm sad that you don't have your body anymore. I won't get to hug or kiss you anymore" said Alvin as he tries not to blush.
Brittany giggles before saying "well, I'm sure that the problem of me not having hug a body will be fixed soon, I have faith that I will have flesh and blood again" Alvin looks at her with hope and questions her "you mean, it's possible that you can have your body back even though it can't be used anymore?" Brittany nods and says "yeah something like that" now Alvin feels even more hopeful and happy which he hasn't felt in a week. "By the way, how did you know that Sam isn't your dad when you were dead?" Alvin asked her wanting to know more. "Uh hello, I was in your body, so I was able to read your mind" the reflection replied making Alvin feel stupid for asking that. "Oh right sorry" he replied before chuckling. Brittany smiles and says "well I'll talk to you later after you're done showering alright" Said the reflection and Alvin quickly questions her "wait, how come I can't feel that you're in my body?" the reflection replies "because I'm in your heart asleep and I stay still however, I can take over if I want to but, it's your body so, I don't have any right to take control of it" Alvin turns on the shower before replying "Britt, my body is your body as well, and you can use it whenever you want but, you might feel a bit different when you take control because, this is a guys body. Do you get what I'm trying say?" questioned Alvin as he felt bit awkward.
Brittany rolls her eyes and says "yeah I know" Alvin was about to undress himself but, quickly remembers that he wasn't alone. Brittany notices this and winks at him before saying "well, I talk to you later then, love you Alvin" she blew a kiss at him before disappearing from the mirror and Alvin's reflection was back. He kept staring at his reflection for a few more seconds before hopping in the shower and happily singing witch doctor as he showers since he knew that Brittany was still with them.
Half an hour later, Alvin finished showering and was now getting dressed for school. As he's putting on some cologne, he hears footsteps approaching the room. "Knock, knock Alvin, are you ready to go?" a voice came from the door. "Yes Dave" Alvin puts on his backpack and opens the door. Dave sees something on Alvin which surprises him. "Well, i guess taking a shower must've cheered you up huh" Dave said as he began to walk the stairs with the chipmunk. Alvin wanted to tell Dave the good news however, he figured that Dave would think he was just hallucinating that he saw and talked to Brittany. "Yep it sure did" replied Alvin as they reached the got to the first floor.
They got to school and Alvin went to his class. The teacher didn't ask for an excuse note for being late since she knew that Alvin and his family are going trough a lot of pain. The teacher who's name is Mrs. Anderson gave Alvin the assignment and he made his way to his seat.
Five minutes later, Alvin was having a hard time trying to figure out the answer to a question. "10x-20=40, ugh this is to hard" Alvin mumbled to himself as he scratched his head with his pencil. "The answer is B" a voice said which got Alvin's attention. He looks around trying to find who was the one who said that. "It's B, Alvin" he heard the voice again then realizes where it was coming from. "Brittany?" he mumbles. "Yes, and don't tell me you forgot that I'm inside of you" said Brittany in Alvin's mind. "No I didn't forgot, it's just that I'm not used to-" "Mr. Seville who are you talking to" Alvin was interrupted by a the teacher who standing next to his desk. "Oh uh no one" replied Alvin putting a nervous smile. "Hmm Oh alright" the teacher walks to her desk.
Alvin looks back at his paper and circles the answer Brittany told him. "Sorry about that Alvin, I forgot that no one can talk during a when doing an assignment in Mr. Anderson's class. I'll talk to you during lunch, later" said Brittany and Alvin replies "wait I need the answer for number the the last two questions" however he doesn't receive a response and had to do the rest of the questions on his own.
Later at lunch, Alvin had gotten his tray and was heading to the table where his brothers and the chipettes were but, when Brittany sees one of her girlfriends she tells him "Alvin, can you go sit with my bestie?" Alvin looks to his right to see Brittany's best friend and says "uh i don't know Britt, because I don't know what to talk about with her" Brittany replies "just ask her how's she's doing and does she miss-" she was cut off by Alvin "wait, I have a better idea, just take over my body and you can go spend some time with her" Brittany didn't want Alvin to feel like she's taking advantage of using him as her host so she tells him "are you sure, I mean I don't want to seem like-" "Yeah it's cool baby, just make sure to eat the food that I'm carrying because I'm hungry" Brittany giggles before saying "oh alright, thanks Alvin" Brittany slowly starts to control his body as he feels his spirit leaving it.
"Whoa, so this is what it feels like not having a body" said Alvin as he tried to move. "Wow, i feel like I'm in my body again" Brittany as she stared at her new paws. "Well, you can use my body as long as you want Britt, meanwhile I'm going to try to take a nap since it feels cozy inside your heart. "Thanks Alvin and I'll wake you up when I'm done using it" replied Brittany as she approached her best friend.
Meanwhile at with the rest of the chipmunks, they noticed who they thought, was Alvin approaching Brittany's best friend. "That's odd, why is Alvin sitting with her today?" questioned Theodore before biting in to his sandwich. "Maybe Laura, invited him to sit next to her" replied Simon as he took his gaze off Brittany.
meanwhile with Brittany, "Heyy girlfriend" she said before taking a seat next to Laura. She mentally slaps her forehead for saying that because she quickly forgot she's in Alvin's body and can't talk like she used to in her original body. Laura looks at Brittany and says "uh hi Alvin, what can I do for you?" Brittany replies "I just wanted to know how are you?" Laura begins to play with her food and says "I'm okay I guess, just a little sad" Brittany puts a paw on hers which surprises. Laura slowly takes her hand back. "Sorry, I just wanted to comfort you and please tell me why you're sad" Laura sighs before saying "I'm surprised that you don't know why I'm sad since you were Brittany's boyfriend" Brittany looks at her confused but that's when it hits her.
"Oh yeah of course I'm devastated as well that Brittany is gone, and I know that you are as well" said Brittany as she tried hard not to tell her best friend that she was actually talking to her not Alvin, right then and there. "I sure am and I miss her a lot" Laura begins to cry before standing up. "Hey Bestie wait, I mean Laura" Brittany manages to stop her and she turns around. "Please, cheer up, I know how much you miss Brittany and I miss her a lot to, and I'm sure Brittany is in heaven looking down and heard everything you just said. Also, if you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on, I'm here for you" Laura smiles and says "thanks Alvin, I needed that" she then hugs Brittany and sits back down.
"By the way, would it bother you if I stay seated here for the rest of lunch time?" Brittany questions her. Laura's shakes head and says "of course not, and I'm glad that you came here because I used to eat lunch with Brittany here but, when she died I always come to this table and eat my lunch alone" Brittany smiles sympathetically and begins to dig in her food.
During the remaining time of lunch, the two talked about a cute dress that they saw on a commercial and they talked about shopping. Laura was shocked to know that Alvin, or should I say Brittany enjoyed going to malls to shop for new clothes.
The bell for the end of lunch rang so, the two went to dump their trays. "Thanks again for eating with me Alvin, see you tomorrow" said Laura as she walked in another direction. Brittany was about to go to one of her classes that she had when she was in her old body but then she quickly remembers that she's using Alvin's body. "Alvin, Alvin" ALVIN" she calls him. "Huh what oh hey Britt, did you enjoy your spending time with your friend?" Alvin questions in her mind before yawning loudly. "Yep, and we can switch now" replied Brittany as she looked around trying to see if anyone was looking at her. "Alrighty then here I go" Alvin starts to gain control and Brittany leaves the host and back to his heart. "Boy I had a great nap" said Alvin as he began to make his way to his last class. "Oh well, that's good and thanks again for letting me borrow your body" Brittany said in his mind. "No problem baby and remember, you can use my body whenever you want" replied Alvin.
"Thanks and I'll take a nap as well" she said as she made her way to the deepest part of his heart that was filled with the love he had for her. Alvin got to his last class which was art and he had it with Ryan. He made it to the room and went to his assigned seat. Suddenly someone approaches Alvin which gets his attention. As soon as Alvin sees who it is, his blood boils. "Hey Alvin, I know that you hate me my right now and you want to claw my eyes out but, I wanted to let you know that I'm sorry about your loss and also sorry and I've been regretting for bullying Brittany when she was alive so much that I feel like the guilt is eating me from inside out" Alvin was stunned to hear the tough Ryan say that. He kept staring at Ryan and could see tell that he had been crying as well "Ryan, I'm glad that you now know that what you did to Brittany was wrong but, if she were still here, I'm sure she would have forgive you" Ryan smiles a bit and says "thanks man and I'll leave you alone now" Ryan walks away to where the rest of his jock friends were. Alvin watched him leave and then looks at his arms that were in his desk. "I think you heard him as well" said Alvin as he places a hand on his heart. "Britt, are you there?" No answer. Alvin closes his ears to stop hearing the class talking loudly and waits for a minute. He then hears soft snoring in his mind which makes him chuckle.
Later...
The chipmunks and the chipettes were back home. Theodore and Eleanor were helping Dave make dinner, Simon was doing some research on his laptop, Jeanette was reading a book, and Alvin was in his shared room laying in bed and staring at the ceiling. All of a sudden he hears someone yawn which puts a smile on his face. "Well hello sleepy head, you sure took a long nap" he says and Brittany responds in his mind "hey baby, and yeah I know" Alvin hops out of bed and gets something under it. "Ugh I so bored" said Brittany before noticing Alvin holding something. "What's that?" she questions. Alvin decides not to answer her yet and was holding red steal box which had a lock. He pulls something behind the night stand next to him and it was a golden key. He opens the box and Brittany is touched by the sight. "Alvin, you didn't have to do that" she says with both amazement and with love. In the box was a similar sweater to Alvin's but, this one was pink and it had a white A instead of a Yellow A. (The sweater looks just like the one in my profile picture)"GUYS, DINNER IS READY" Dave shouted from the kitchen.
However Alvin nor Brittany weren't paying attention that Dave had called them. "I made it my self three days after you died and from now one, I'll always wear pink for you and it's my second favorite color" Alvin takes off his sweater without warning Brittany who quickly covers her eyes. he then puts on the new sweater and heads to the bathroom to look at his reflection reflection. He hopped on the sink and loves what he sees. "Wow, I don't look that bad" he says as he posses. "Are you kidding? it looks great on you" replied Brittany as her reflection replaces Alvin's. "Oops sorry" she says before removing her reflection. Alvin chuckles and says "you know, I bet this would look better on your original body" Brittany smiles but then it quickly goes away. "I wish I could have my body back I don't like being in here" she said which worries Alvin. "Wait, then you don't like being in my body?" He questions feeling a bit offended. Brittany read Alvin's mind and could tell that he took it the wrong way. "Wait no it's not like that, it's just that I miss doing girly things, moving around freely and having girl talks with my sisters" replied Brittany. "Oh okay, but like you said, let's have faith that you'll get your body back or you'll get a body alright" Alvin replies which makes Brittany's sadness go away "thanks, and you're right lets believe that I'll be happy again with my own body" she said cheerfully as she stared at Alvin's reflection.
Meanwhile in the dinning room, Dave started to wonder why Alvin wasn't downstairs yet so, he goes to his son's room. Dave knocks on the room but doesn't receive an answer so, he enters the room and saw Alvin's phone on the nightstand but, he wasn't there. Suddenly Dave hears someone talking from the bathroom so, he approaches the door and listens. "Yeah that would be so great" "aww thanks Britt, I know I like my new look to" Dave gets creeped out a bit and slowly opens the door. He looks inside to see Alvin talking as he stares in the mirror. "Alvin, who are you talking to?" Questions Dave as he goes in. Alvin was startled to see his father and says "oh hi Dave, I was talking to my self" Dave, raises an eyebrow as he notices Alvin's outfit "oh okay, dinner is ready and by the way, what's with the new look?" Questions Dave as he approaches his son. "Oh um I decided that from now on I'm wearing pink only" Alvin responded. Dave starts to get worried about Alvin and says "oh alright, anyway the others or waiting now for you for dinner" Dave kisses Alvin's forehead before heading out the door. "Okay Dave, I'll be there in a minute" Alvin said as he closes the door.
He goes back to the mirror to see Brittany's reflection giggling. "What's so funny baby?" Brittany says "the look on your face when you saw Dave standing by the doorway" Alvin couldn't help but laugh as well before saying "I know, anyway I'm going downstairs to eat. I'll talk to you after" Brittany holds her right elbow and rests her chin and says "okey dokey" and disappears.
