Chapter 1: Catching Up
A/N: Hey guys. So, this is my first time ever typing a fanfiction and if you enjoy it then favorite and follow. My goal is to try to create a fan story after the fourth movie, although I might consider reposting this if the fifth movie rolls around depending on what is in the movie. So I am here to create a story that replicates what I love of the movies as well as being as accurate as possible to them. Being a family friendly with humour and mischievous or with tons of fun as well as sticking to certain theme/ideas with great character development. So here it goes.
I will be answering review questions as many as I can necessary in these author notes. Try to keep the questions as general as possible; don't be afraid to ask. Like what is my favourite movie, video game, food, how I came up with the idea of this fanfiction and who is my favourite author. You can ask mostly any question you can think about. Also maybe you guys can tell me a bit about yourselves and I can respective fully comment about it. You can do it if you want to or if you don't want to then that is fine.
Universe: 3rd generation live action movies/films 2007-2015.
Warning: To understand the context or mention of pass events you have to watch or know the four Alvin and Chipmunks movies from original to Roadchip. These movies are really good great humor, tons of fun and great to sing a long so I would recommend watching them.
Disclaimer: I do not own Alvin and the Chipmunks series, The Chipettes or any of their fandom's supporting characters. The Chipmunks and Dave were created by Ross Bagdasarian Senior, and the Chipettes were created by Janice Karman who is Ross Bagdasarian Junior's wife with the entire company being Bagdasarian Productions. I only own the plot and the themes I came up with. I did not write this song that I'm about to use; it's made by a musical group called 'Weezer', though I did edit it slightly.
Credits: I would like to thank MRAY 4TW for helping me edit this first chapter. Go check out his stories that he wrote himself.

It is completely pitch black for a couple of seconds before we get a close up bird's eye view of the 20th century fox monument. It was accompanied by the brothers who were vocalizing and beatboxing the companies intro song while our view shifts outward and orbits to a lower side angle as we see it tower over a dark suburban town. There are red carpet lights that send beams up into the heaven which moves past our view and we see Alvin standing on one of them with his arms outstretched as well as his mouth wide open to hum. His brothers were across from him on a platform doing the same thing except Simon had one paw on his chest. During the time where only Simon and Theodore were visible, the red clad chipmunks leaped in the background to the platform that they stood on then shoved them apart to be in the frame. Causing Theodore to topple off but Simon quickly reacts to catch him by the tail so they continue to harmonize the song without any quarrels or drama. The horizon has a golden sunset with clouds of an equivalent colour that transition into a violet then a night-blue when you look higher up.
The view fades into complete darkness once again but out of nowhere a blue and white light piercing the void like a crack in a shape of a jagged two or 's' with the word 'Regency' underneath appeared in an identical colour. In addition, there was a blue aurora coming out of it. This whiteness started to disappear, leaving it in a carolina blue. A gleam of light runs across it to finish it off before it was nowhere to be seen.
Blackness falls upon our view. The words '2000 century fox, Regency Enterprises and Bagdasarian Productions presents' appear in the middle in a vibrant rainbow colors that change and moved horizontally. The sentence seems as if it got closer, then zooms right past us and so did this wall of nothingness; behind it all was a clear blue sky with some fluffy clouds.
A blue and red circus tent got slapped on top of this blue sky with a wooden plank sign on the top of it that spelled 'Carnivol'. It disintegrates into nothing, leaving only the sky. As we slowly pan down, the roof of several random neighboring homes rise from the bottom then we could see a road, and standing on the sidewalk were three chipmunks in hoodies and a man who looked to be in his forties, both standing there as they wait peacefully for three sisters near a bus sign. This suburban road seemed to be pretty busy with noisy cars racing by every second of the day without stopping.
As we cut closer in some text appeared: 'Based off Alvin and the Chipmunks by Ross Bagdasarian Senior and the Chipettes by Janice Karman' Which looked the same as the other text from before then it soon vanished before another one appeared saying: 'Written by TheSteelMushroom and edited by MRAY 4TW' (Of course that it, what did you expect? It's not like I made an entire movie by myself and I'm trying to accurate here)
These were no ordinary chipmunks wearing cloths and not only could they speak English but were the world famous celebrity performing chipmunks. They're also the most adorable things you'll ever see with their dog-like nose, a muzzle, fur and chubby cheeks. You just can't resist the urge to pick them up and embrace them so intensely that you ignored the fact that they're going to choke to death so probablllyyy best not to do that.
The hoodies that they wore were almost identical in style but not in size and none of them had any pants. No one really cared due to them being chipmunks; they never had clothes in the first place and the fur covered every part of their entire body so nothing was even noticeable or eye more unusual, their body posture was straight unlike others of the corresponding species that stood hunched over.
Though being chipmunks, they had anthropomorphic features and anatomy such as their front paws having similar structure to human hands allowing them to bend their fingers, or eyes like humans with pupils, colourful irises and sclera instead of black orbs. Their eyes were at the front of their head instead of being on the sides of the head like the majority of small furry creatures' anatomy that are designed to help those type of creatures with survival. Yet another wonder of their anatomy, but not the most interesting thing about them.
One of the three chipmunks was Alvin Seville who stood 8 inches tall and wore a cherry red fluffy hoodie with pockets on the front. Above this pocket was his signature sans serif yellow capital 'A' which was the only hoodie of these singers to bear a letter. He also had a notch on his left ear, which help framed his eager amber eyes. But a common trait the trio had was from the top of the eyebrows to his lower abdomen was a wheat brown fur but the rest was a chestnut brown and he had two streaks of wheat brown fur along his spine.
He was kicking around a super bouncy ball by hitting it from one paw to another without this ball touching anything else or was either balancing the spherical toy on his toes and its size was a chipmunk's equivalent of a soccer ball. Even its appearance was similar to one with the same coloring design. From his skill, one could tell that Alvin was obviously athletic, and probably the most inclined to physical activity.
Alvin ceased kicking the ball and put one of his hind paws on top of it to interrupt its movement. Turning his head up to look at Dave who was looking across the road as he contemplates, he posed a question. "Hey Dad, how much longer do we have to wait here for the Chipettes to get back? Please tell me it's not much longer, 'cause I can't stand waiting any more," he groaned.
"Like ten minutes," Dave responded. "This is the only stop that's is the closest one to our house and we promise the girls that we would be here to pick them up. Also, let me remind you that it was your idea for the Chipettes to stay with us which I didn't agree to at first but they grew on me."
"Ahhh, nuts! Well, I'm going to be bored out of my mind trying to wait here," he complained as his ear droop to the sides; while lowering his head and rolling his eyes to show how annoyed he was at the idea of waiting any longer for them.
"You know Alvin, we did promise the Chipettes that we would be here to pick them up since they still need somewhere to stay. Besides, they only left just to try out being the judges of American Idol. So, just be patience." Simon stated
This particular chipmunk of the three brothers was Simon Seville who's is slightly taller than Alvin by two inches. His hoodie was a royal blue and had round eyeglasses that fit on his head perfectly. His spectacle was entirely black and it didn't have nose pads but that didn't bother Simon at all or irritate his skin under his fur though they did show off his intelligent-looking ice-blue irises. Simon had the same similar physical characteristics to his brothers such as their pupils covering three quarters of their irises and their eyes being proportionally larger to their heads compared to humans. Except he had chestnuts brown part fur was darker then Alvin's, more like a chocolate brown.
Alvin continued to bounce the ball by kicking the ball back into the air, but then suddenly missed a kick which caused it to slowly roll into the middle of the road, though he was the only who saw it. A ringing noise accompanied by constant vibration could be heard from the pockets in Dave's pants. He looked down then reached into his pocket to pick up his phone with the caller ID being Jeanette's.
"Sorry boys, I've got to take this, I'll be over there. So wait here and don't go anywhere." The road with was too noisy for him to make the phone call so he had to leave for a more serene area. Dave glared at Alvin knowing that he especially should heed his words. Dave turned around and held his phone next to his ear as he began walking off. "Hey Jeanette what is it?"
Sitting there on the bus seat with her seat belt on. Jeanette looked similar to Simon except for the fact that her glasses had retro squared frames and were violet. The fur on top of her head came out like human hair which the top was tied in a short curved ponytail with a purple hair tie. She had a jam-purple long sleeve t-shirt with an amethyst purple tank top over that then, all compiled with a blue denim jacket that reached down to her upper waist on top of all that. Also she had a plaid skirt that was violet with lavender and dark blue lines. She had her arm wrapped around the back of the phone and the other tucked under the phone since it about half of her height. "Hey Dave, is Simon there? I want to speak to him."
Dave stopped suddenly and turned around and moved his phone further away from him and covered it with his other hand. "Simon! Jeanette is calling. She wants to speak with you."
Simon came running after Dave on all fours. Dave spoke to his other two sons "Theodore you're in charge while we're gone." Then he and Simon went to somewhere quieter close by so Simon can comfortably answer the phone
Alvin put on a cheeky smile and turned his head slightly, just so that the chipmunk next to him was at the corner of his eye who was eating a small snack size pack of chips which were the only kind he could carry around without any trouble.
This was their youngest brother Theodore Seville reached up to 6 and half inches tall and wore a green hoodie that was the similar to his brothers' except that it was slightly wider in size to fit his body. He was chubbier then his older brothers even though being shortest of the three, his weight was equal to Alvin's and fur was softer than the others. The irises was a bottle-green color and had practically the same fur colour as Alvin's.
Theodore saw from the edge of his vision that Alvin had a smug grin. From that, he could tell that he was up to no good because for as long as he had known his red clad brother for mostly his entire life, that he was always hatching something irresponsible to do just for the fun,thrills and excitement of it all. He looked up from his bag of chips to see that there was a ball in the middle of the road right in front of him.
"Alvin, please don't go after that ball. Dave left me in charge and I don't want you to get hurt like I almost did trying to get that ball."
Alvin began whining with his body bent back slightly, arms outstretched and paws open. "Oooohhh, come on Theo!" Then kneeled closer to Theodore with is paws clasped. "Dave won't know and he won't see me and it is not that hard to get a ball in the middle of the road."
Alvin began running but then Theodore grab Alvin's wrist from behind. He gripped it tight but got pulled in a bit though he managed to pulled him back in before he could set a single paw on the road. "No Alvin I'm not letting you risk your life for just some minor ball."
Alvin groaned in an annoyed tone and drooped his ears, heads and eyes but then had a light bulb moment happen causing his ears to perk back up and raise his head again with a delighted smile.
"Theodore look! It's Eleanor and the other Chipettes coming!" He screamed out while pointing his index finger past Theodore's face.
"Where?" Theodore snapped his head around to look where Alvin was pointing and he let go of his wrist to put his paw over his eyes to prevent the sun from messing with his vision while still holding the bag of chips with the other paw. Alvin then ran off snickering to himself while he stepped on the road. He scurried along the road while cars were rushing by with the wheels barely grazing against Alvin's face as he narrowly dodged between them. The cars rushing by also created wind which gusted right into his face. His heart was beating unbearably fast, his mind was on high alert and his entire body was hyperactive as he was trying to keep from getting run over.
Theo looked thoroughly about "I don't see anyone coming." He turned around with a very confused look but in a split-second, noticed Alvin wasn't there standing next to him. Snapping his view to the road to see Alvin still going for the ball which created complete shock on his face with his jaw dropped.
Dave came back with Simon looking at Theodore and noticed Alvin wasn't there standing next to him "Hey Theo where is Al…." but abruptly stopped in a sudden realization from the look on Theo's face, he turned his view to where he was looking.
"AAAALLLLVVVVIIIINNNN!" he screamed out with his mouth gaping open as big as he could make it while his scream echoed across the neighborhood. There are things about Alvin that will never change and one of those being that he can't keep himself out of trouble even if his life depended on it but that was Alvin for you. If you took care of Alvin for as long as he has then you probably wouldn't survive or might end up in an insane asylum driven past the brink of insanity by him even if you're that deep in the rabbit hole already.
But Dave still cared for Alvin no matter how many times he annoyed him, the amount of times he told him off, how much of a struggle it was for him to found on the island, yet he still cared for him and his other children with their friends the same way. They changed his life for the better from the irresponsible man incapable of surviving to a loving and caring father who could handle himself. In a sense, he owed his life to these little guys and he did that by trying to being the best father he could be since they were still teenagers. To some, it might not be enough but being a father is like giving most of your life to your children because you're committed to a marriage though of course he wasn't married, he just owed it to them for immensely improving his life. Not only that, but they've had spectacular times enjoying what they do best, making music, dancing and concerts which were some of the most memorable times of his life and he wouldn't ever want that to end.
Even with all the frustration Alvin brought, Dave was still always proud of his involvement at their concert and how much they achieved together as well as the entertainment, and stepping up when the situation calls for it. Without the group, none of that would've happened or will even continue to occur and he wouldn't know what to do if any of them were gone.
Alvin grabbed the ball and held it underneath his armpit then hurrying back going through the same experience he previously had when going towards the ball. Luckily, he made it back to the sidewalk without sustaining any damage at all, although he was panting constantly from the stress of trying to stay alive.
Theo had the bag of chips sitting next to him on the ground and he sighed in relief that caused his chest to deflate but his paw still remains over his heart. "Alvin, please don't do that ever again; I don't want you to get hurt like I did and I almost had a heart attack."
Dave's arms were crossed around his chest while tapping his foot with a very upset look on his face. "You know you could have gotten turned into roadkill over there. The least you could have done was wait 'till there was no cars passing by."
Alvin looked up at Dave with a very nervous look rubbing the back of his head chuckling a little to himself "Well at least I didn't and I would have died of boredom if the cars didn't get me," he said trying to exaggerate the dying in an unserious tone.
He still stared down his son still then yelled "Not funny, you're grounded for a week!" Dave said very angrily.
"Ok fine." he answered glumily, the chipmunk in red was not happy but accepted it anyways, knowing exactly that this was going to happen, as it always does all the time and there was no point fighting back.
Everyone went back to what they were doing while they were waiting and after several minutes, a tour bus arrived. The doors of the front bus opened and three female chipmunks came out going on all three paws while pulling their lunch box sized suitcases behind them with their last paw. The boys waved at them as they got off the bus.
The three female chipmunks were sisters, known together as The Chipettes. They looked so much like the Chipmunks that you could consider them to be three sets of twins except being the opposite gender though they weren't related to the Chipmunks at all.
"Hey boys, great to see you guys again. It's been quite a while." This was Brittany who was the same height as Alvin but had auburn fur. The fur on the back of her head was in a ponytail with a hot pink hair tie with the bangs of her fur sheltering over her forehead. She wore a loose plaid tie that consist of different shades of hot pinks, lighter purples and darker purple lines. To compliment this girly look was a hot pink skirt that had a silver square on the left with a light lavender shirt and a pink leather biker jacket on top to toughen up the appearance which had a zipper and a belt. Plus she had the most appropriate iris colour to boot for this kind of outfit being a watery blue.
They gave each other a warm embracing hug; Simon however, was a little reluctant on the hug as he begins stiffing like a wooden board when Brittany tried hugging him but then reciprocated by leaning forward and embracing his arms around her and gave the other girls a hug as well.
"And I thought you said you weren't much of a hugger." Alvin stated with a very sarcastic tone.
"Well times have changed and ever since you forced me to take a hug because you were going to kiss me I've gotten pretty use to it." Exaggerating his voice on the part about the kissing.
The girls burst out laughing which caused their body to shake up and down slightly while they hugging their stomach with their arms.
"When was that?" Eleanor asked. Eleanor had the same body type as Theodore except she had blonde fur and had pigtails behind her ears which were tied with a green hair ties. She wore a mint colored dress with a curly hem and a emerald sweater over it making the top of the dress visible at the bottom of her neck.
"Well, that was during the time you guys were still with Ian but long story short I forgave Alvin for being such a jerk during that time and not coming to perform with us so then we hugged it out." he concluded the subject
"So girls, how did being the judges for a season of American Idol go?" Simon asked out of curiosity.
The chipette in pink replied, "It was amazing! Come on, let's get in the car first. We'll tell you more about it on the way home."
"We've missed you and there has been a lot going on since you left. We'll fill you on that as well on the way." Theodore responded with excitement.
They all walked to the car while the girls pulled their lunch-box sized suitcases behind them. "Here girls, let me help you with that." Dave kneeled down to grab the girl's suitcases to stack them lying down on top of each other. Each having their corresponding color to the chipette and emblazoned with a san-serif first letter of their names on the front and back of them. Dave opened the boot of his car to place the suitcases standing closest to the walls of the boot then closed it.
Dave open the driver seat door and hopped into the car. Their dad opened the passenger's door window so they could easily get in. The Chipette hopped in the passenger seat first. Simon bowed in front of Alvin and moved his out arm out towards the door signaling for him to go before him while saying "Lady first." He raised his head to smile knowing how his sibling would respond and how much Alvin cared about his own pride. "Yeah, yar-di-har-har very funny." Alvin remarked with an unamused look with a similar tone at his brother's attempt to make fun of his masculinity then when it was over, he jumps onto the seat next to the Chipettes. Theodore followed his sibling getting in the same way, sitting next to Alvin and soon Simon followed suit. The car drove off after everyone was settled with the seatbelt on.
The girls started talking about their experiences as there was nothing else to do in the car. "We did get to judge a lot of people. Some of them did really well and got through and I'm so glad we gave them the chance to follow their dreams." The tallest Chipette said. "Even the ones who didn't make it through, they took it pretty well but we gave them a few pointers and encourage them to keep trying." Brittany told them. "A small amount of them didn't take it well and got really emotional," the pigtailed chipette stated. "Being the judges of American Idol was cool but we miss performing because it was so much fun and we are starting to get a little rusty as you guys could tell when we help you perform for Dave."
"Yeah, us too, but do you remember Dave's new girlfriend, Samantha" Though of course he didn't want an answer as it was more of a statement to refer to Samantha. Then he continued with "Well, we thought that they were getting married in Miami and she had a son named Miles who we hated at first." Alvin said. "So we followed Dave to stop the marriage while causing trouble along the way but we learned that Miles wasn't so bad." The Chipmunk with black glasses commented. "Yeah, it turned out that Dave wasn't getting married and that why we had to make it up to him because he was very upset at us for following him without telling him." Theo finished. "Now Dave has officially adopted us and we can perform locally," they spoke in unison.
"Yeah and that was the greatest day of my life," Dave said while still paying attention to the road.
"Well, congrats! You deserve it since you care for each other so much" the purple clad chipette replied.
Dave decided to pass the time by turning the knob of the radio. Channel changed one after another with abrupt sounds then Dave paused his fingers once he heard a rhythmic guitar playing mixed with drums beats. "Let try practice singing along to this song while we wait to get home." Simon suggested. So together they sang the song in unison. Jeanette was grooving and shaking her body to the music while sitting down with her paws cupped in fist. Alvin was clicking his fingers to the beat.
When I look in the mirror, I can't believe what I see. Tell me, who's that funky dude staring back at me. Broken, beaten down can't even get around without an old-man cane I fall and hit the ground, shivering in the cold. I'm really bitter and alone. Excuse the complaining, I shouldn't complain. I should have no feeling 'cause feeling is pain. As everything I need is denied me and everything I want is taken away from me but who do I got to blame-... nobody but me. I don't wanna to be an old man anymore, it's been a year or two since I was on the stage, shaking booty and singing all the day and night, it's time I got back to good life. It's time I got back, it's time I got back and I don't even know how I got off the track I WANNA BE BACK, YEAH!
As that finished up they arrived home on the driveway towards the Seville's house.
A/N So I hope you enjoyed and if you enjoy it please share it with a family member, friend or anyone you know who enjoys reading. I didn't write the song. The song is called "The Good Life" by Weezer go look it up and sing along if you like. Just a quick thought that always pops up in my mind, I always found it weird how ALVINNN! and the Chipmunks the 2015 cartoon is considered the 4th generation even though the first episode was before the fourth movie of 3rd generation which is the movie/film series so 4th gen started even before the 3rd gen might have ended and if the fifth movie comes out then the generation are intertwining. Also I did assume that the Chipettes knew about Samantha since it was stated that Dave and Samantha were dating for a couple of months before the events of Roadchip so the girls must have known due to the fact they live with the boys and the boys knew because they said Dave been talking about her. If there are any mistakes in any chapter then let me know and I'll look into it.
