The Runaway
Chapter One
"Guys, fair is fair. The girls won so they get to go on vacation for the weekend."
"Dave! That's not fair! Why do we have to stay home?"
"Because you're just a bunch of smelly boys. The beautiful girls shouldn't have to deal with you while on vacation, Alvin." Brittney commented.
"Brittney, be nice. Does everyone have their things packed?"
The chipettes all agreed and headed for the back door. Theodore waved goodbye to Eleanor, while Simon blew Jeanette a kiss. Alvin stuck his tongue out at Brittney and walked away. Simon and Theodore watched Dave and the girls get into the car and drive away, while Alvin was busy pouting in the corner.
"Stupid Dave and his rules. It's not fair. We work five times harder than them and yet they are the ones going away for the weekend."
"Alvin, I know you're mad but listen to me. The girls work just as hard as us and like he said, the losers had to stay home. This time, we were the losers."
Alvin calmed down slightly and backed out of the corner. He hugged Simon and the trio crept back toward the bedroom. While Alvin went in, Theodore grabbed hold of Simon's hand and pulled him in close. With a small kiss on the lips, Theodore whispered to his brother.
"Remember what you promised me the other night? Just you and I together?"
"I do remember that. Tell you what. I promise that after Alvin falls asleep you and I can sneak out onto the couch and go wild with each other. How does that sound?"
"I like it! I can't wait for tonight to get here. I'm going to go and watch tv until we can be alone!"
Alvin emerged from the bedroom with a red crayon and a piece of paper. Confused, Simon asked what he was doing.
"I'm drawing a picture for Dave to convince him that we're better than the girls!"
"Are you still on that? Look, the girls are just as good as us. Especially in the bed, if you know what I mean…"
"Well, you got me there, bro. I still love it when you and I get the chance to… you know, go at it."
Simon sighed and stared at Alvin.
"Ah yes. I love those days too."
"Speaking of which, you didn't forget about what you promised me tonight, right? After Theodore goes to bed?"
Simon's eyes grew big in surprise. He had totally forgot about the promise he made to Alvin.
"Crud… Alvin, I promised Theo that him and I would do it tonight."
"What? Why? You know you love me more, right?"
"I do love you, but I also love Theo. Oh… what do I do? I can't satisfy both of you in one night. I'm not a superhero."
"Then you have a decision to make. It's either him or your true love. Me."
Alvin took his crayon and paper and ran back into the bedroom. Scratching his head, Simon went to join Theo. Seeing that something was wrong, Theodore approached his brother and hugged him.
"Theo, I don't know what to do. I promised you a night of romance, but I also promised Alvin one tonight too."
"You did? Oh… I was really looking forward to tonight, Simon. You disappointed me again." Theodore let a few tears fall onto the cushions of the couch. Seeing this, Simon quickly pulled his brother in close and gave him a kiss.
"Now Theo, I never said that you and I are not going to have fun tonight. We can still do it. I can do it with Alvin another night. Tonight should be about you, and you alone."
"Thanks, Simon. You're the best bro ever."
Simon excused himself and went into the bedroom where Alvin was still drawing. Simon grabbed a blue crayon and joined him.
"You know, I can't wait until tonight."
"Neither can I, Simon. I'm going to make this the best night you and I have ever had together in the bed."
Simon purred at his brother.
"Sounds like fun. Excuse me, would you? I have to use the bathroom."
Simon put down his crayon and ran into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. He climbed in front of the mirror and started talking to himself.
"Oh, Simon. What have you done? There is no way you can make love to both of them in one night. I'm going to have to break someone's heart, as much as I may not want to. The only question is, who's heart do I break? Alvin's or Theodore's?"
