Prologue

Hey everybody! I'm back. So sorry for the wait. Got so busy with school and stuff. So here it is the first chapter of the second story in my Simonette saga, with a "little" twist later on…any way, on with the show…

High school, senior year, Christmas break…

With Jeanette

"Yeah…I know…I'm so sorry…But I…I just…please…try to understand…I just thought…It wasn't going to work…You're there, and I'm here…they never do…I'm sorry…I have to go."

The blue and purple clad chipette hung up her phone and started crying. She was about seven months into her pregnancy, and just the hardest thing she had ever done so far…

"Why?…Why?…Why?…" she cried between sobs.

Then there was a knock at her room door.

"Jeanie? Are you okay in there?" an elderly woman's voice came.

Jeanette wiped her eyes and sniffled. "Yeah, Grandma, everything's fine."

She slid down to the floor and hugged her knees. She felt around her neck for a certain item. When she found it, she held it tight, then took a look at it. It was the locket she got from a very special someone. She read the 'SS' on it and began crying again.

"Why did it have to come to this." she asked herself. "I love him, but…"

She sat there for what seemed like forever.

"It's for the best. It has to be." she stood up. "for us."

"I never thought I had to break up with him…Simon…"

At home…

A chipmunk wearing a blue shirt with khakis sat in a classroom staring into a blank paper. He got a phone call earlier that morning. That's where everything changed.

'Why?' he thought.

A month later…

Jeanette was sitting in the kitchen finishing up some work, when she heard the doorbell ring. She lifted herself up, then waddled to the door. When she got there, she opened and found a chipmunk about the same age as her.

"Oh, hey Robby. What brings you by?" she asked.

"Well, you know Ms. Helen, she told me to keep checking on you while she's out of the house."

"Yeah, I guess." she chuckled. "Come in."

She let him in and they sat down at the table.

"So how have you been?" he asked.

"Fine. Just the normal pregnant life." they laughed together.

Then there was a quiet moment.

"So, uh, Jean…I promised I'd never ask this, but, how did you…"

"Get pregnant?" she finished for him.

"Well, um…yeah." he blushed.

She just looked at the ground.

"Oh, I didn't mean to upset you or anything. Just a stupid question…"

"No, I knew this day would come."

They spent the whole afternoon talking about what happened. Then she got done with how she got pregnant.

"And that was that." she finished.

"Wow." was all he said.

"I know. You probably think I'm a slut or something."

"No, no, no, not at all. Well maybe a little crazy, but not a slut." he managed to say.

"Thanks." she said with a hint of sarcasm.

"So why dump him?" he asked again.

"I didn't want him to worry. He got what he wanted. And I didn't want to ruin that." she frowned.

"Well, he's stupid."

Jeanette looked up and gave him a confused look.

"You showed signs, but he didn't get it."

"No, he's not. I am."

"No, he was clueless. And he was the smart one, as you tell me."

"No, but…" she was cut off.

She wondered what was happening, but she felt his lips to hers, then she knew, it was a kiss.

After they parted, they stared at each other. Robby saw a gleam in Jeanette's eyes that he never saw since she arrived.

"I…um…yeah… I think I'm going to go ahead and…" but this time he was cut off by her.

When they parted, there was silence again.

"I'm sorry, something…just came over me." She turned around.

"Jeanette."

"Please, I just got out of a relationship not too long ago. I'd very much like it if we were just friends. Please."

"Of course."

Then he left and Jeanette held tightly to her locket. Then let out a sigh.

"What am I getting myself into?"

Five years later…

"Carmen Mills."

There was an applause.

"Jeanette Miller."

The dean named her and she walked up and received her diploma. She shook hands and looked out in the crowd. Then she saw them. Her grandmother Helen, with Miss Miller, Brittany, Eleanor, Alvin, Theodore, and Dave. But no Simon.

She managed to keep her smile. Through the whole graduation ceremony.

Afterwards, she was looking for them, she zipped past so many people but couldn't find any of them. Until…

"Mommy!"

She turned to see a young chipette with auburn hair tied and a single ponytail, grey-bluish eyes, and glasses running towards her.

"Hey sweetie." she picked her up.

"Well, look at you." she heard a familiar voice.

"BRITTANY!" Jean squealed and gave her a big hug.

"Uhg…cant…breathe." the little four year old said stuck between them.

"Oh sorry honey." and put her down.

"Congratulations Jeanette!" Eleanor came up with balloons.

"Oh Ellie." and they shared a hug as well.

"What are we, meat?" Alvin and Theodore said walking up with young one of their own.

"OMG! Brit, Ellie, you two had babies?" Jeanette said.

"Hold on there, its baby. And yeah, little AJ. And we're expecting another." Brittany said.

"Us too." Eleanor said leaning on Theo.

"Wow! I really happy for you guys. Honestly."

They shared some hugs.

"Well, you made it." Alvin said.

"What are you talking about? She had this in the bag from day one." Brittany said.

"I know, but with a K-I-D." Alvin spelled out.

"Alvin!" Dave scolded.

"What? Sorry."

"Don't worry. I had a little help." she began looking around. "Where's Simon?"

"He really wanted to come, but he had some things he needed to take care of." Theodore explained with a baby in his arms.

"Oh, I see." she hung her head. "So what's he up to?"

"Oh he's fine. But Don't worry about it. Today's your day." Alvin said.

"Hey Jean!" they all saw a chipmunk running their way.

"Robby!" she gave him a big hug.

"Hi Robby." Lilly said hugging him too.

"We did it! I cant believe it." he said.

"I know. Me too." then she noticed Alvin giving a glare, "Oh this in my family."

"Hi there."

"Hey. Hi. Hello." they said.

"Everyone, this is Robert, aka Robby. He helped me with Lilly." She said looking at her four year old daughter.

"Robby eh?" Alvin said

"Alvin." Theodore said in a warning tone.

"What?"

"Wait, Alvin? As in Alvin and the Chipmunks?" Robby asked.

"Yeah." Alvin said arms crossed.

"This is so cool. My little sisters love you guys. Hey, where's the other.."

"Chipmunk? He was busy." Alvin cut him off.

"Alvin…" Brittany nudged him.

"Oh. Well gotta go. See ya!" he hugged Jeanette, "And see you later Lilly pad." and walked in the opposite direction.

"Bye Robby!" Lilly shouted.

"So what have you been doing?" Alvin asked not taking his eyes off Robby.

"Alvin!" they all said this time.

"What?"

"Don't listen to him Jean, he's still his normal self." Brittany said locking arms with him.

"And I'm not sure if that's a good thing." Theodore said and everyone started laughing.

"Hey!"

"Well, we should get going. We have some celebrating to do." Dave said.

They all walked out, side by side. And headed for Helen's house.

Later on, at Helen's house…

"Man, that was some good eating." Alvin said slouched on the couch.

"You can say that again." Theo said from the other couch.

"Will you two sit up right for crying out loud." Brit said holding AJ.

"So Jean, have you told Simon yet?" Eleanor asked.

She just sat in silence.

"Jean?"

"NO."

"After all these years, and you never told him?" Miss Miller asked.

"Well, I thought today would be good, but he didn't come." Jeanette said.

Alvin and Theodore exchanged looks, suspicious looks. But Dave knew those very looks well.

"Alvin, Theodore, do you know something?" he asked.

"No!" they said in unison.

"Hey, Alvin, you do know something." Brittany said.

"H-h-Why w-w-would you s-say that?" he asked.

"Because you stutter when you lie."

'Crap' he thought.

"Now spill." she demanded.

He looked at Theodore, but he was already caught by Eleanor. Then back to Brittany.

"Talk…" she glared.

"Well, Simon wasn't actually busy…he just didn't want to come." he said.

This was a shock to everyone, even Dave.

"Why?"

"Well, sometimes back, he said you broke up with him, and he couldn't bear to face you, yet. At least that's what he said." Alvin said. "Theo, did I leave anything out?"

"Nope, you pretty much got it."

"You broke up with him?" Brittany asked.

"Well, yeah, but I had to. I couldn't worry about Lilly, school, or him all at the same time." Jeanette explained and saw Lilly asleep on another couch.

"I know that's a lot, but why didn't you tell us?" Eleanor asked.

"It wasn't your place to deal with it."

"Well, now that you got school out of the way, you can get back with him, right?" Alvin said hopeful.

"I don't know. I mean, its been a long time. And what if he hates me." she said.

"Jean, he doesn't hate you." Alvin said.

"How do you know that?"

"Because he still talks about you. He's blaming himself for losing you. He even changed. Literally. And how do I know, because Theo was abroad studying cooking and Dave was on trips, and when he comes home for breaks, I was the one that HAD to listen to him. And man, can he talk."

"So, he still…"

"He still loves you." Theodore finished for her.

"Yeah, but that was before…"

"Before what?"

"Before me and Theo kind of…hooked him up with someone else…" he said with his arm behind his neck.

"YOU WHAT?" all the ladies said.

"Shhh…they're falling asleep." Dave said holding the two-year olds.

"Well, he was hurt, and we didn't like to see him like that. So, we sort of told him to…move on." Alvin gave a nervous chuckle.

"Men." Brittany said.

"How long?" Jeanette asked.

"For like two mouths maybe." Theodore guessed.

"Its not too late." Alvin tried to reassure her.

"I don't know. I think I might have moved on too." she said scared.

"What? With who?"

"Robby"

Tada! Here's the first chapter, or epilogue . So what do you think. Too much, too little? Review please.
