The Chipmunks Journey
Chapter 1 – Old faces
"Another boring day at school" Alvin yelled as he walked out his front door with Simon and Theodore right behind him. "Come on Alvin its only one more week before summer holidays" Simon replied with a grin. "Yeah and then its 2 months of doing anything we want" Theodore chimed in as they neared the Chipettes house. Alvin smiled back at his brothers and sighed, a lot had happened since they started high school with the Chipettes 4 years ago, puberty, exams, dating, bullies and everything else that is associated with going to high school, heck Alvin couldn't believe that he was turning 17 in a couple of weeks. The boys were surprised that the Chipettes weren't waiting for them outside as usual. "I wonder where they are." Theodore asked with concern in his voice "Brittany's probably still trying to decide what to wear; she's such a drama queen!" Alvin yelled loud enough for anyone inside the house to hear. "Strange you think one of them would come out after hearing Alvin, something's not right" Simon said as headed for the front door. It was unlocked as Simon pushed it open. "Hello anyone home?" Theodore yelled. The boys took a few steps further when they heard what sounded like a feminine voice with a eastern European accent say "Come into the lounge boys" The boys exchanged confused looks before entering into the lounge to the right of the entrance. They saw a man and a woman sitting on the couch with a small dog in the woman's purse. All three gasped in horror and yelled at the same time "Klaus and Claudia!" "It's been a long time chipmunks" Klaus said as he lit a cigarette. The boys couldn't believe that the two people who had sent them around the world in a race with the Chipettes just to smuggle diamonds were now in the Chipettes living room. "How did you bastards get out of jail" Alvin snarled ready to knock them both out and drop kick their mutt Sophie in the process. "Darling we have connections all over the world, all it took was a bit of money and a corrupt Judge" Claudia laughed as she hopped off the couch and walked over to them. "Leave now before I beat the crap out of you both" Alvin threatened as he rolled up his sleeves. "Alvin wait" Simon said as he put a hand on his brother's shoulder. "What have you done with the Chipettes" Simon asked. Alvin and Theodore's eyes widened as they realised the situation they were in. Claudia pointed to the sofa opposite the couch Klaus and she had occupied and said with a grin "Sit down and we will explain everything"
"Brittany, Brittany wake up" Brittany let out a groan as she heard Eleanor and Jeanette's voices. Brittany let out a gasp as she realised she wasn't in her house but in a van with the windows blacked out. She pushed her two sisters aside and started banging on the door yelling "Hey let us out; who the hell do you think you are, LET US OUT!" "Brittany we've already tried that" Jeanette sighed as Brittany sat back down. "Do either of you know what's going on here" Brittany asked. Eleanor turned to her and said "I was downstairs last night getting a glass of water when a bunch of guys dressed in black snuck into the house and grabbed me, they put a cloth over my mouth and when I woke up I was in here with you guys" Jeannette then said to Brittany "Since you and I were asleep they would have just thrown us in the van and did the same thing to us if we started to wake up" Brittany stood back up and tried to peak through the windows to see if she could see anything "Hopefully the chipmunks have realised were missing and have called the police" Eleanor said when all of a sudden the van doors opened and 5 men dressed in black grabbed them. "Let me go" Brittany screamed before kicking the man that had grabbed her in the nuts. The man grabbed her again and put a cloth to her face. Brittany tried to break free but it was no good. As darkness took hold of her the last thing she saw was her sister's unconscious being carried away to a plane.
"Alright were sitting now start talking" Alvin said as he and his brothers glared across the coffee table at their unexpected guests. "Very well" Klaus said. He then pulled 3 airline tickets and placed them on the table. "What are these for?" Simon asked. "These are your assignments" Claudia said as three men dressed in black walked in each carrying a brief case. "It's very simple really; all we want you three to do is to each deliver a brief case to your assigned destination" Klaus said as he handed out the tickets to the boys. "And what about the Chipettes?" Theodore asked. Claudia released a disturbing smile before saying "There will be one waiting at each destination with our contacts, you give them the brief case and we give you a Chipette "Alvin started at his ticket before asking" How can we trust you?" Klaus let out a sinister laugh before saying "You can't but you don't have a choice because if you say no then I make a few calls and your precious Chippettes are never seen again!" "YOU BASTARDS" Alvin screamed as he lunged at Klaus when all of a sudden one of the men in black grabbed him and held him in an arm lock. "Alvin calm down" Simon yelled. Alvin sighed and stopped trying to break free; Claudia motioned to the man to release him. "Alright, I'll do it" Alvin said before slumping back on to the sofa. "Me too" Theodore added "We don't have a choice I'm in too" Simon said as he pocketed his ticket. "Excellent our men will escort you to the airport" Claudia said as the chipmunks followed Klaus and Claudia's men outside. "One last thing" Alvin said as he turned to Klaus and Claudia "If anything's happened to them before we get there I will kill you both" and with that he joined his brothers in a van parked outside the house. Claudia let out a laugh "Fools do they really think we're going to let any of them walk away after what they did to us!" Klaus put out his cigarette and said "Don't worry sis they're all going to pay dearly for what they did" The Chipettes home was then flooded with the sound of maniacal laughter as three chipmunks sat in the back of a dark van wondering if their friends were ok.
When they arrived at the airport they were each given a brief case and told to go to their departure gate. Alvin looked at his ticket and yelled to his brothers "Hey guys I'm going to..." Alvin couldn't finish his sentence as one of the men in black grabbed him and said "You tell your brothers were your going and you can kiss your Chipettes goodbye. That goes for you two as well" the man said as he stared at the two other chipmunks. Alvin broke free of the man's grip and said "Fine let's get this over with" and started to head towards his gate. One man in black went with each chipmunk and made sure they boarded the plane and that cabin doors were shut before they all left the terminal. Alvin, Simon and Theodore all took their seats on their flights and tried to settle in for the long journey ahead. Three chipmunks, three destinations, three Chipettes.
