CARTOONVERSE
It is a known story throughout the world and history. Two families get into a fight that turns into a generations-long feud. And no matter what happens, these two families will never make peace. This happened with the Seville and Seveaux Family, both located in England.
It all began in the Middle Ages, where these two powerful and mighty families used to be at peace, allies, even friends. But one day, this all changed.
It started with the two oldest sons of the two families, Davidson Seville and Michelangelo Seveaux. These two men, friends since childhood, were out hunting in the grand forest, that was located between the Seville and Seveaux properties. it has been shared between the two families as long as both could remember, so no-one ever had claimed the forest as their own. And no-one cared, for that matter. The wild, the trees and other riches of the forest were always shared, traded and equally divided. It was also called the grand forest, because it stretched out to the far horizon. Most of it was undiscovered and thus held many secrets. It was a peaceful, joyous era for the two families. Until the day the feud started.
As told before, the two oldest sons of both families were out hunting for a grand feast. The two men had shot enough wild for the feast, but wanted to bring back a priced buck that lived deep in the dark area of the forest. Neither family had ever hunted so far into the woods, no it was kind of a new area for the two men.
So both men, after delivering the caught wild to their families, journeyed further into the woods, both wanting to shoot the priced buck first. After hours of searching they decided to give up and go back to their properties.
To think that one little turn of the head, one glimpse in the corner of the eye can change everything. Davidson Seville's attention was suddenly drawn to a ruin, abandoned centuries ago, as it seemed. It was the ruin of an old, small castle. Neither thinking about their own safety or well-being, the two men went inside to explore.
As they explored they found the family crests of both their families, indicating that at least one of the families used to live here. As they continued, they found their way to the cellar, where, expect for some empty crates and a rusted sword, nothing could be found. Until the Seveaux son tripped and so pushed in a hidden button, opening a way into a secret chamber. And what they found there, amazed the two sons.
The chamber held one large chest, filled with gold, diamonds and other riches. They each collected a same small amount of treasure to prove their story to their fathers. Eager to tell their families, they left the castle and left for home, thinking that the treasure would be there the next day as well.
The next morning, both families gathered some men to collect the treasure. Because no-one knew which family owned the ruin and both crests were found there, the fathers had decided to divide the treasure under both families. The two fathers of the families were proud of their sons, for finding this treasure together, proving the friendship and trust that both families had for each other. But when they arrived, they were stunned. The treasure had vanished. Not a single gold coin was spared.
They tried to figure out what could have happened. Thieves? No. No-one ever had gone this far into the forest and no-one knew of this ruin. Was the story made up? No, the sons had brought proof of the treasure with them. The only two who knew the location of the ruin were the two sons. And this is how the feud began.
One father blamed the son of the other family for stealing the treasure for himself and his family. The other father defends his son and blames the other son for stealing it himself. The two sons tried to reason with their fathers, but quickly got into the argument themselves, blaming each other.
And then began the argument none of the families had for ages. The argument 'who owns this forest and thus the treasure?'. Both came up with statements that were ridiculed away with other statements. Soon, swords and daggers were drawn and the fighting commenced. After both sons got injured, the two families, who arrived at the ruin as allies and friends, left as enemies.
For an entire year, the two families fought against each other, trying to take the property of the other and find the stolen treasure. But neither family won. It wasn't until the King had commanded both families to his court, that the fighting stopped. The King forced the two families to agree to a truce and stop this fighting. Both families agreed to the truce, but that didn't stop them from hating each other, blaming each other and still getting into fights.
Decades later, the Seville Family left England for America, where they established themselves as a powerful family. But years, the Seveaux Family also left England for America and, by accident or by fate, ended up in the same area where the Seville's lived. The feud continued. Generation after Generation. From father to son. Until the present day.
Both families weren't as mighty and powerful as they were in the old days, but still rich and respected. They weren't as large as they used to be. Only a few descendent were left. The ones our story is about are David Seville and Michael Seveaux. These two men hated each other with a passion. They blamed each other for copying the other. They both lived in the same neighborhood, had the same villa, on each side of the street and both had adopted three kids, each of them triplets.
But these kids weren't normal kids. They were chipmunks. David, or Dave as he preferred, had three boys, named Alvin, Simon and Theodore Seville. Their mother had left them as babies at his summer house in the forest, fearing for their lives. So, Dave had adopted them and raised them as his own sons. The three sons loved to sing and quickly had made fame in the music world, known as the band Alvin and the Chipmunks. With Dave owning his own music company, Seville Records, that wasn't much of a problem.
Michael Seveaux, who also had his own Music Company, named Seveaux Records, had adopted three female chipmunks, when he was on a business trip in Australia. They were called Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor Seveaux. Call it fate, call it a coincidence, but these three girls also went into the music business and became the band known as the Chipettes.
Needless to say, they were raised to hate the other family. But because they weren't really blood-related to their father, their hate wasn't as deep as with the rest of their families. Not that they were the best of friends, no. But it varied from sibling to sibling. The two oldest kids of each band, Alvin Seville and Brittany, hated each other with a passion and always tried to make the life of the other miserable. Alvin would steal Brittany's cheerleader outfit and hide it away and Brittany did the same with Alvin's Football outfit. Needless to say that both of their fathers were often called to the principal, where they would start to argue and fight. It was a never-ending cycle.
The two middle children, Simon Seville and Jeanette Seveaux, were the two voices of reason, trying to work out something. But neither of them were friends with the other, because both were excellent students and smartest of their school. They always tried to be better than the other.
And now for the youngest of the bunch, Theodore Seville and Eleanor Seveaux. Neither of them liked the other, but there wasn't much hate between them. They once had to work together and had a good, not great, but good time. They didn't really have a friendship, more of a friendly rivalry. But neither wanted to talk with the other if it didn't have too.
But what irritated them the most about each other, was how much they actually had in common. Each one could find something about him or herself in his or her counterpart. Maybe, in another universe, their fathers would have allowed them to be friends. But not here.
Here, neither Dave Seville or Michael Seveaux wanted his kids to hang out with the kids of the other. To even consider it was banned from each household.
But that was about to change.
