Hey guys! I actually wrote this story about a year ago and then got side-tracked and didn't finish it so. Here it is now. I'm going to try to put up the 1 chapter each day since this whole thing is pre-written.
CGI Chipmunks!
Chapter 1
Dave Seville pulled into his driveway anxious to tell his boys about the excellent news on the new record deal. He was also anxious just to see them. It was the first time he had left them home alone and he had been nervous, but hopeful as to how they would do. He nodded his head as he examined the house from the outside.
The whole house was still there. No smoke, no fires, no explosions. All good. However, what would be inside was probably a whole other story.
Dave opened the front door and walked in. He called, "Fellas! I'm home!" He looked around. He was surprised. Normally he would see his youngest come running towards him ready to climb up his jacket and give him a hug with the other two right behind him.
"Guys?" Dave said a little softer this time. It was noon. What was going on? Dave continued his way into the house. He stepped into the living room; it was moderately messy, but not too bad. The kitchen on the other hand was a complete wreck. There were pots, pans, bowls, mugs, and spilled milk everywhere. Not to mention all the empty bags of cheese balls scattered across the dining table.
Dave was even more surprised to find his chipmunks asleep on the couch. They never took naps. They would usually be wide-awake at this hour. Dave smiled at the cute sight. The Chipmunks were all cuddled together in the middle of the sofa. Light snores leaving their mouths. The four of them looked quite content and peaceful. Wait! Four!?
What was this? Alvin on the left, Simon on the right, Theodore in between them, but what was this laying curled up in Theodore's lap?
Dave was starting to feel a little sweaty as he took a better look at this thing. It was small and furry- a chipmunk. Yep. A baby chipmunk. A huge wave of confusion and worry swept over Dave. He didn't know what to think of this. Before he could do anything else he said in a loud voice, "Alvin! Simon! Theodore!"
The three chipmunks' heads shot up, startled at the sound of Dave's booming voice. They looked around, eyes wide and alert. They then all looked up and smiled. He then noticed that the four of them were covered in a black dust. It was pretty obvious, but he had been so transfixed on the baby, he didn't notice. There were even a few black tracks all across the floor coming from the fireplace.
"Dave! You're home!" Alvin cried.
"We missed you, Dave!" Theodore exclaimed cheerfully. Dave kind of choked on his words as he tried to greet them warmly for having been gone for about four days.
"I missed you guys too! But…" The three chipmunks' smiles faded immediately as Dave's tone changed. Dave tried to sound calm, but he seemed kind of uneasy as he continued, "Uh… what's that you got there?" he pointed to the bundle in Theodore's lap. The chipmunks' ears all went back. Theodore picked up the bundle and dropped it into Simon's arms who then quickly reached over and dropped it into Alvin's arms.
Alvin bit his lip and said, "Uh… Dave? Meet the newest Seville." Dave's eyes widened a bit, still as confused as ever.
Simon jumped up and cried, "Dave! I can- we can explain everything!"
"Please do! So whose baby is this?" Dave said.
Each chipmunk looked at one another.
"We-" Alvin started, but Dave interrupted him, "Look! Just please start explaining."
Dave put his face in his hand as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead.
Simon began, "Okay. I guess we might as well start on the night where it all began."
Dave felt more sweat forming. He was going to say something, but didn't.
"Get comfy, Dave. It's kind of a long story," Theodore said patting Dave's knee delicately with his paw.
