"You lie!" A man in a long cloak yelled. "No, I'm not lying, master. You know that I would never lie to you. I only tell you the truth about what I see." A gypsy like woman responded. "Then you misinterpreted what you saw." "No master. I assure you. I didn't misinterpret what I saw." "But…I just can't accept this. Me? Destroyed?" "Yes, unfortunately, master. That's what I saw in my vision. But, it's not too late, master. Remember, the future isn't set in stone. You can still take out your slayer and prevent your destruction." "Yes, your right. And that is exactly what I will do. I will never allow myself to be defeated by some….some…what was it again?" "Chipmunk, master." 'Chipmunk?" "Yes master. A chipmunk. One of THE chipmunks. You know, the ones that are human sized and talk?" "Ah, yes. I've heard of them. So, it's one of them?" "Yes sir. One of the six of them is the one who I saw destroy you. Although, the face was sort of blurry, so I couldn't tell which one it was." "Well, no matter. I'll just go to America and find out who it is." "Um, please don't take this the wrong way master, but, wouldn't it be easier to just lure them hear and take them all out on your home ground?" "Yes, but I do not take the easy way out. I enjoy the challenge. I shall test my powers of deduction and figure out who is the would be slayer." "very well, master. But, before you go, I must tell you one last thing." "What is it?" "I saw a calendar in my vision. I saw that it said that the day of your slaying is the eighteenth. Which means you have ten days to find your slayer." "Plenty of time. Well, I'd best go get ready." The man in the cloak began to walk off. "Master…" "Don't tell me your worried about me. Your lack of faith is disturbing." "I'm sorry, master. It's just that.." The man walked back over and placed his hand under the woman's chin. "I'm coming back. Have faith in me." The man said, his eyes beginning to glow red. The woman's eyes temporarily glowed red as well and then she nodded in agreement. "Good girl. Now, I must be off." The man then walked off. "Happy hunting! Come back soon!" The woman yelled. The man gave a slight wave back in response. "Come back soon, master Dracula."

Location: Seville house, Los Angles, California
"Come on! Let's go, Alvin" Dave yelled up the stairs. Alvin, who was in his room playing guitar, sighed and stopped what he was doing. The fifteen year old then slowly made his way to the stairs. He then descended the stairs as slowly as possible. "Come on, Alvin! We don't have all day!" 'That's right. So get yourself in gear, Alvin. So help me, if they sell out of the new neo brand calculators before we get there, I'll…" "Oh, put a sock in it, Simon." "Now, Alvin, just because you don't like going back to school shopping doesn't give you the right to be rude." Dave said. "Oh, I'm fine with shopping. I like shopping as much as the average should. It's the back to school part I hate." "Well, that's too bad, cause your going back to school. And that means we have to go back to school shopping." " 'Don't suppose I can talk you out of it?" "Not a chance." Alvin snapped his fingers in frustration. "Dang it." He said. Seeing his red clad son's lack of enthusiasm, Dave came up with an idea. "You know, Alvin. Miss Miller and the girls are planning on meeting us at store." "Wait, Britt's at the store?" "By now? Probably." "Well, it would be rude of us as boyfriends to keep the ladies waiting, so let's go." Alvin then darted out the door. "I figured that would get him moving. Thank you, Brittany." Dave thought. 'Alright, boys. Let's go." The rest of the Seville quickly joined Alvin in the car. "Alright, boys. Next stop, the school supply store." Dave then hit the gas and they were off. As they drove, Alvin thought only of Brittany. He thought back to their first beside the campfire in Japan. He then realized how fast time had gone by since then. It had been several weeks since he and the rest of the chipmunks defeated the Vorsteins once again. "Man, time's been flying. Can't believe it's been three weeks since we clobbered the Vorsteins." He said out loud. "I'm just glad all that chaos is over with." Simon said. "Me too. I'm also glad that I'm going to be in the tenth grade this year. That means I'm not a freshman anymore and the seniors should leave me alone." Theodore said. 'I here you, Theo. Man, last year was awful. Of course, Alvin doesn't know what we're talking about cause the seniors all liked him." Simon said. "Hey, when your cool, your cool. And don't give me any flack, Simon. Remember, I tried my best to protect you from those stupid seniors." "Yes, I remember Alvin and I'm grateful for it. Hopefully, you won't have to do it again." "I wouldn't have to do it at all if you guys would just take some martial arts classes like I did. You know, if you'd learn how to defend yourselves." "Alvin, I'm a scientist and Theodore's an aspiring chef. Scientists and chefs don't do martial arts." "Fine, get your butts kicked." "Now, Alvin, you and both know that you wouldn't let that happen. You love your brothers too much to let anyone hurt them. Your fight with the Vorsteins proves that much." Dave said. "Yeah, whatever. I still say they should at least take karate, cause I can't always be around to save the day." "What if we say we'll think about it, Al?" Theodore asked. "That's all I'm asking, Theo. That's all I'm asking." "Alright then, we'll think about it. Right, Simon? We'll think about it?" "Yeah, okay. We'll think about it." "Then that settles that." Shortly after their conversation ended, the munks arrived at the store. After finding a parking space, Alvin bolted to the stores entrance. "Boy, he's in a hurry to see Brittany, isn't he?" Theodore said. "Well, what do you expect? He hasn't seen her in three days." Simon said sarcastically. Meanwhile, Alvin neared the entrance. When he got close enough, he could see Brittany and the rest of the miller family standing by the door. "Brittany!" He yelled. Brittany turned and waved at him. Alvin finally stopped running when he got within a foot of Brittany. He then bent over, with his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. "You okay, Al?" Eleanor asked. "Yeah. Just give a sec…Okay. I'm good." "Say, Alvin, where are the others?' Jeanette asked. "Back there." Alvin said, pointing behind himself. He then turned and yelled to his family. "Come on, hurry up, you slowpokes!" he then turned back to the millers. "So, how is everyone today?" "Good." "Just fine." "Never better." Eleanor, Jeanette and Miss Miller answered in sequence. "And Britt, how are you?" Brittany leaned in and kissed Alvin's cheek. "I'm just fine. Thanks for asking." "So, Alvin, are you excited about going into the tenth grade?" Miss Miller asked. "Not really. I mean, it's hard to get excited over small stuff like this after you've had an adventure like we did this summer." "Good point, Alvin. Good point." At this time, the rest of the Seville's caught up. "Alright. Now that everyone's here, let's go."
