A/N: This story is kinda just for kicks until I can get a new story flowing. I got the idea while writing "My Valentine" and thought it would be really fun to write it. This story is based on the movie Piranha 3D and will feature the characters of Alvin and the Chipmunks as the protagonists.
This story is rated M for some intense blood and gore and some sexual themes. I've also screwed around with universe a little just so things make sense. And lastly, the 'Munks are envisioned like anthropomorphic forms of the CGI version.
So please read and review and enjoy the story!
Chapter 1
Something in the Water
"Nothing like fishing on clear day." David Seville sighed as he sat in his boat that was floating on the water. He cast his fishing lure into the shining blue water, whistling to himself as he waited patiently for a bite. To pass the time, Dave opened a glass bottle of beer and took a quick drink before placing it on the edge of the boat.
He didn't have to wait long however as the lure sunk into to the water after a few minutes. Reacting quickly, Dave reeled in the hook and lifted his prize out of the water, unintentionally knocking his drink into the lake. He smiled as he examined the nice sized bass had captured. His happiness wouldn't last very long however, as he felt a sudden jolt of the earth that shook everything in the area, though only for a few seconds.
Deep beneath the water, the violent shake had a very large impact. The once flat lake floor split into two, creating a deep fissure that began to suck in the water from above. In the darkness, thousands of pairs of glowing red eyes swam out into the light, following the spiral of water to the surface.
On the surface, Dave began to panic as he saw a large whirlpool form and begin to draw in his boat. He soon lost balance as the watercraft spun around and fell into the water. His eyes widened with fear hundreds of creatures swam against the swirling current and straight towards him. They began to swarm him, using razor-sharp teeth to tear his flesh apart bit by bit. The bloodshed only attracted more as the monsters feasted upon the hapless fisherman.
Soon, the whirlpool disappeared as fast as it had been created, leaving the lake calm again. Dave's boat began floating towards the shore, the bass desperate for water as it flopped and flounced inside. Out of the scarlet pool of blood, Dave's skeletal hand shot out of the water one last time before sinking back again.

Good Morning Lake Aldeso! The radio host cheered on his station for all listeners to hear. And is it beautiful morning for the first day of Spring Break! Yes folks it's that time of year again. The time of year when our humble population of 2,000 people rockets to 20,000 for a week of sun, fun, and beautiful women! You local kids better join too, cause it's gonna be party city all week long! And speaking of the lake, some of y'all may have felt a slight bump this morning. No it wasn't the party starting early, but a rare earth tremor that don't happen to often in these parts. So if you see some scientists checkin' it out today on the lake, pass 'em a cold one!
Theodore Ross sighed as he walked through Simon's Pet Emporium, the location of his part-time job. His everyday task at the pet store was to make sure the animals were fed, their cages were clean, and the store itself was tidy buy fmthe end of the day. It was his way of getting out of the spring break craze.
The nineteen year old chipmunk hated this time of year. His mother Vinny Ross was the local town sheriff and normally didn't do much since the town is so small, but during spring break the older female chipmunk was hardly if ever home. This left him to take care of his younger twin siblings, Jeanette and Brittany. The pudgy chipmunk quickly changed out of his uniform in the back room, putting on his normal green hoodie and blue jeans.
"My day is done." Theodore said as he passed the front desk where his boss, Simon Chance, was sitting. He spun around and used his tail as a duster as if to clean one final spot on his employer's desk.
"Gotta go pick up the twins?" The older bispecalded chipmunk chuckled. "You're not ever gonna enjoy spring break are ya?"
"That's what happens when your mom's the town sheriff and a bunch of partying teens invade." Theodore shrugged and sighed. "I don't like spring break here anyways."
"You're the only teenager I know that doesn't like spring break." Simon frowned. "I'd thought you'd be excited enough to even try to convince your mom to let you go out for a day."
"No, I don't like spring break here." Theodore elaborated. "Love having a week off of school, but I hate how hectic it gets here."
"Hey, it makes our town a bunch of cash." Simon smiled. "People have more money to spend here which in turn gives me more money to pay my favorite employee."
"Si, I'm your only employee." Theodore giggled as he opened the entrance of the store.
"Touché." Simon sighed as the door closed.

Meanwhile, on another side of the town Vinny Ross was writing a citation for an illegally parked truck. The vehicles owner quickly dashed out of the building he was in, in complete disbelief of what was going on.
"Hey!" The teenager shouted. "What do think your doing?"
"My job." Vinny stuck the citation onto his windsheild and began walking away. "Your truck is double parked kid. That's gonna be a $500 fine on your part."
"Wait a sec." The boy grabbed the chipmunk officer's arm before she could walk any further.
"Touching an officer's uniform is considered assault, do you know that?" Vinny snapped as she pulled her arm free.
"No, but I do know you and I can work something out back at my place." The boy smirked as he touched her again, examining her body.
Without a word, Vinny turned the boy around and slammed him onto the hood of his own truck. She recited his Miranda Rights as she bounded his arms with handcuffs. His friends around him came close to the law enforcer in an attempt to help him, but quickly backed away as Vinny pulled out her tazer and pointed it menacingly at them.
"One more step you'll be fucking tasting lightning for a week!" Vinny cursed at them as she flicked the non-leathal weapon on. The other teens turned tail and walked away as Vinny shoved the arrested boy into her police vehicle. She sighed as she drove off to the jail house. "I'm so glad Theodore isn't one of these kids."

Theodore had difficulty weaving though the massive crowd. Another thing he hated about spring break was massive amount of people that came into town. He cursed as he was bumped and crashed into another person, bringing both of them down. As he quickly stood up, Theodore immediately recognized who he had knocked down.
"Is that you Alvin?" Theodore asked as he helped the fellow chipmunk stand up.
"Alvin Miller in the flesh." The male chuckled as he stood up, corrected his head cap, and dusted off his red hoodie. "How are you doing Teddy?"
Alvin had been one of the more popular kids at the high school before moving away for college. During high school, he and Theodore had been close friends, though most of the other popular kids didn't care for the chubby chipmunk. Little known to Alvin however, Theodore had seen him as more than a good friend. The green-clad chipmunk in fact had a crush on Alvin, though he had never told anyone. Obviously, Alvin was still oblivious to this day, which was a good thing.
"I'm doing good." Theodore blushed. "Just stayed around town. You?"
"I'm still good." Alvin shrugged. "Just came back to good ol' Aldeso for spring break."
"You and 20,000 other people." Theodore smiled as he looked at the crowd.
As the two chipmunks conversed about their lives after high school, a Jeep full of football players pulled up. Theodore groaned in annoyance as he saw who was driving the vehicle. His high school bully, Owen Fuller. The athlete always used to taunt and tease the chipmunk for his weight, and would always torment Theodore by throwing things at him or spitting in his food. Things got worse during Senior year when Owen figured out Theodore's sexuality, and revealed it to the entire school. Theodore didn't exactly remember how Owen came across such private information, but he recalled that soon almost the entire student body of the school knew he was homosexual, and almost no one would interact with him after the fact. Alvin however never shunned Theodore when he knew. They had stayed good friends up until graduation.
"Hey fag!" Owen called out. "Still like sucking cock?"
"Leave him alone Owen." Alvin rolled his eyes at the laughing group in the car. "High school's been over for two years now."
"It's still funny as hell." One of the others said.
"I have to go." Theodore sighed as he began to walk away from the bullies. "I have things to do and these guys aren't worth my time."
"Yo!" Owen shouted as he threw his drink at the chipmunk. "Catch!"
Theodore squeaked in surprise as he felt the ice cold beverage splash his back and soak his clothes. He could hear the group laughing like hyenas as they zoomed past him.
"Nice sweater fairy!" Owen taunted as they drove into the distance.
Theodore huffed as he resumed walking. He didn't have time to worry about his hoodie, he just needed to pick up his little sister so that he could finally go home.

Brittany Ross waited patiently for her older brother to pick her up from her band class. In her paws she held her instrument, the trumpet. She looked over as she saw an older female chipmunk sit on the bench next to her. The woman was dressed simply in a red two-peice bathing suit, nothing more.
"Hey." Brittany nodded to the chipette.
"Hello." The female politely responded as she looked up. "You waiting on someone?"
"Yea, my big brother." Brittany sighed as she looked down the road.
"Oh. You guys locals?" The female asked curiously.
"Yep, born and raised." Brittany smiled. "I'm Brittany Ross."
"Charlene, no last name." The female shook Brittany's paw. "I like your trumpet. I used to play one myself when I was your age."
"Thanks. I like your boobs." Brittany complemented Charlene's large breasts. "I hope mine are that big when I'm your age."
"Thanks." Charlene giggled at the small child. "But listen, you're a long way from worrying about breast size."
"I know. My brother Theodore would like them, but he doesn't seem to like girls." Brittany shrugged and then whispered. "He's gay."
Charlene couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you talking about me again Britt?" Theodore sighed in an irritated tone. Brittany yelped as she turned around to face her older brother. "Who's your friend?"
"Charlene." The older chipette stood and shook his paw. "You must be Theodore."
"Yea that's me." Theodore sighed. "I hope my sister didn't cause you too much trouble."
"No not at all." Charlene smiled. "She's cute."
"Charlene!" A voice called out. Charlene turned to see a a second female chipmunk and a male human walk in her direction. "Charlene let's go! Who are you talking to over there?"
"Some locals." Charlene said as the two walked up to her.
"Locals?" The human asked with interest as he turned to Theodore. "You must know the lake really well."
"Well yea, I kinda live here but-" Theodore was interrupted when the human began shaking his paw.
"Ryan. Ryan Clark." The human introduced himself.
"Um... Theodore Ross." Theodore said, slightly surprised at Ryan's sudden friendliness.
"You see, we need a local around here to show us around." Ryan explained. "We need to see all the sweet spots of the lake for our film."
"What kind of movie are you guys making?" Brittany asked innocently.
"The kind that only grown-ups are allowed to watch." Ryan smiled at the little chipette. "They're not appropriate for you."
"Oh!" Brittany exclaimed with that realization. "That's like those things on the internet my brother watches. Except his are with all-"
"Shut up." Theodore blushed as he covered his little sister's mouth. She had a tendency to blurt things out, even if she didn't understand what she was saying. Theodore attempted to change the subject as he turned to Charlene. "So you're an actress?"
"Yes I am." Charlene giggled. "And yes that kind of actress."
"So what do ya say?" Ryan asked Theodore, ignoring the females. "I can pay ya quite handsomely."
"I would, but I have to babysit." Theodore motioned to Brittany.
"Well that's too bad. But if you change your mind..." Ryan smiled as he handed a card to Theodore. "Give me a call and meet me and my girls at the docks tomorrow morning. We'll be on the Barracuda. Hope to see ya there."
Before Theodore could respond to Ryan, the human had already walked off with Charlene and the other female.
"He's weird." Brittany said to her older brother.
"Let's go Britt." Theodore sighed as he and his little sister turned around. "Jeanette's probably still waiting for us at home."
With that, Theodore and Brittany walked back into the crowd as the sun began to set. It was going to be a very long spring break. But unbeknownst to any of them, including the 20,000 partying visitors, it was going to get a whole lot worse.

Standing atop of the cliffs overlooking the lake, a young college boy looked into the sunset. He then looked down into the water many feet below him. This would be his first experience cliff diving.
"Looks safe enough." The boy gulped as he set his cell phone down and prepared to jump. "It's just water."
The boy stood at the ledge of the cliff, still fearful of the height. Pushing all doubt out of his mind, the boy catapulted himself off the edge, screaming in excitement as he freely fell into the clear blue water. If only he had known what was below the surface at that moment.
Colliding with the water, the boy quickly sunk deep into the lake. He soon swam to the surface, looking around himself to find a shore to swim to. In that instant however, the boy yelped in pain as he felt something bite his ankle and cause him to bleed. He didn't have time to react as he felt dozens of bites puncture his body from underwater. He began flailing in panic as he felt his flesh being devoured. With one final scream, the boy sunk into the water, his only remains being the red fog of blood floating on the lake.
On the cliff, the cell phone began vibrating, indicating a caller. The shaking caused the device to slip off and fall, hitting a jagged rock the waited beneath. The boy hadn't told anyone of his whereabouts, and that cell phone may have been the only way to locate him.
The shadowed predators under the water swam away from the flesh ridden skeleton, their menacing eyes searching for new prey.
For the plentiful humans, this spring break meant fun and relaxation on the lake. To the piranha beneath the waves, this spring break meant an endless and bountiful feast of flesh and blood.
A/N: Chapter 1 is complete. Who will live? Who will meet their watery demise? Where did this underwater menace come from? Find out in the next chapters.
I know this is another Alvidore, but I just couldn't resist. I'm the only writer for this couple, so I like to put them in as much as I can. I can tell you right now though that there will not be a lemon between the two chipmunks. My main focus is the piranhas, not Alvin and Theodore's relationship.
So please review and tell me whatcha think! See ya next time!
