Alvin and the Chipmunks

Vinny Reurns

"Hey, Noah, our mom wants to come for a visit. Would you mind?" my brother Simon asked. "Of course not, Simon I've always wanted to meet your mom." I said. "FYI, she's a country munk, so she may ask us to roll in dirt, sleep in a tree, things of that nature." Simon said.

I chuckled. "Simon, I lived in a tree for seven years. I think I can comply with your mother's wishes." I said. Ms. Vinny, my step-brothers' mom, arrived one week later. Her hair was brown, she had glasses, a blue dress with an apron, and her voice was like honey, sweet, and smooth.

"Mom, this is our step-brother, Noah. We adopted him after he escaped from a psyco Orphanage in Ireland." Simon said. Ms. Vinny hugged me. "Are my babies treating you right?" she asked. "Yes, Ma'am. I'm really happy with Alvin, Simon, and Theodore." I said.

Later that day, Theodore offered to make lunch. "Please, Theo, let me." I said. For Simon, Alvin and Theodore, I made toaster waffles, for Ms. Vinny, I made acorn soup, and for myself, I made my father's special Hazelnut soup with a little bit of my mother's speacial hot sauce.

"Wow, Noah, you really know how to make acorn soup." Ms. Vinny said. "Well, the boys told me the recipe, I practiced making it until I could do it in 2 seconds flat." I said. "Noah, can I ask why you are eating Hazelnut soup?" Alvin asked. "Alvin! Everyone has there own tastes! It isn't nice to poke fun!" Ms. Vinny scolded. "It's alright, Ms. Vinny. Alvin, like my occasional knitting, I eat my father's Hazelnut soup with my mother's special sauce as a reminder of them." I said.

That day, as I did pull-ups from tthe highest branch of the oak tree in our backyard, I heard Ms. Vinny talking to Simon. "Why does Noah do pull-ups at such a high altitude? Won't he hurt himself?" she asked. "No, Mom, Noah's just improving his physique. He trains in between meals so he can be in top shape in case he's called to action." Simon exclaimed. "Called to what action?" Ms. Vinny asked. I let go of the branch, fell to the ground and landed on my feet. "Heroic actions." I said. Suddenly, my Green Lantern power ring started glowing.

"Like this action. Simon, Alvin, Theodore, Ms. Vinny, I must do my duty as a Green Lantern. Sinestro, wielder of the ring of Fear, is nearby." I said. Suddenly,Sinestro, a pink skinned alien with black hair and a thin mustache, and eyes as yellow as his power ring, picked Vinny up. "Let go of Ms. Vinny, Sinestro, or so help me, I'll..." I said.

"You'll what, Lantern? She's not your mother." Sinestro said. My ring glowed and pulsated. "Maybe not, but as Green Lantern of sector 2814, it's my duty to protect it all. That includes The mother of my step-brothers!" I blasted Sinestro out of my sector and caught Ms. Vinny as she fell.

That night, as we went to bed, I heard Ms. Vinny sing her special Lullaby.

Hush a bye, little one

Close your eyes, little one

Dream time is near, you needn't fear

And when you wake, I will be here

Rest your head, little one

Dream sweet dreams, little one

The stars say "Good night", I say "Sleep tight"

And when you wake, I will be here

I yawned. "Now I know why you guys have amazing singing voices." I said. Then I passed out. When I awoke, the next morning, Ms. Vinny was gone. "Guys, you seen your mother?" I asked. "Yeah, she left early this morning, but she left this letter for you." Theodore said. I opened the letter. Inside, it said, Dearest Noah, I am sorry I left so soon, but I am a forest chipmunk, and the forest is my home. But I couldn't leave without telling you that I love you like you were my own son. Which is why I adopted you. I don't know if you would agree with that, but I've what I've done. Hopefully, you are okay with my deed. Hope to see you and the boys soon. love,

Mom
