Hello everyone, it's me again, with a new story, it's been nearly four months since my last story was finished, and now I am back with a brand new story, this one I have been planning on doing for a while, and now it's here, enjoy.

Summary: After graduating from high school, Simon Seville has been studying to become a detective, just before graduation from college, he discovers a student has been murdered, and it is up to him to find the culprit.

It has been 4 years since the chipmunks and chipettes graduated from high school, now they are in college, they still intend on being a band, but they each have different careers of their own, Brittany is a fashion designer, Alvin is a basketball player, Theodore is a chef, Eleanor is a soccer player, Jeanette is a nurse, and Simon is applying to be a detective.

It was the year 1991, 21 year old Simon Seville, his 20 year old girlfriend Jeanette Miller and Jeanette's friend Lilly are on the road, in the car, Simon was driving, they are heading to the shops to meet Jeanette's sisters, in a month from now they will be getting their diploma.

" Nick hasn't been himself lately, he has been nothing but a tool", said Lilly, she was talking about her boyfriend Nick.

" He's been like that to everyone, why don't you talk to him", said Simon.

Lilly's phone then rang and she answered it.

" Hold that thought, it's him", said Lilly.

she hit it on speaker.

" Hello", said Lilly.

" It's me, Nick", said Nick.

" Oh hey Nick", said Lilly.

" I am so sorry to say this, but I can't go on", said Nick.

" Wait what", said Lilly.

" It's over, goodbye Lilly *BANG*", Then the call ended.

Lilly screamed.

" What the heck just happened", said Simon.

" Did he just shoot himself", said Jeanette.

" We need to get to his apartment, step on it", said Lilly.

Simon then drove off, on his way to Nicks apartment.


Simon, Jeanette and Lilly entered the apartment, where they entered Nick's flat, they spotted him dead on the floor.

" Oh my god", said Lilly, tears were leaking out of her eyes.

" Lilly, I'm sorry", said Jeanette, giving Lilly a hug.

Simon began to look around the room, checking for something.

" Why did he have to commit suicide", said Lilly.

" His death wasn't suicide", said Simon.

" Wait what", said Jeanette.

" You heard me, he was murdered", said Simon.

" Can you explain how", said Jeanette.

" Well, Lilly, Nick called you saying his last words, and at the end of the call you heard a gunshot and assumed he shot himself, right", said Simon.

" Yeah", said Lilly.

"where did he call it from, his own cell phone", said Simon.

" No, I know the number and it came from the landline", said Lilly.

" Yes, and let's take a look at the landline phone, it is still perfectly on the cradle, and also the last thing you heard from that call was a gunshot, if you assume he shot himself, how would he put the phone back on the cradle when he is dead, if it was a suicide the phone would still be hanging on the wire, better yet still on the line, the murderer shot him, and placed the phone back on the cradle before they left", said Simon.

" But who would do something like that", said Jeanette.

Simon then picked up was Nick has, a calendar and a orange marker.

He read each month showing some of the dates in orange crosses.

" He must have been preparing some holiday dates for this year", said Simon.


In his office Simon wrote down the six dates that have crossed.

" 3rd of March, 4th of April, 3rd of July, 1st of October, 3rd of November, 2nd of December, what kind of holidays would Nick be planning, the 3rd of July must be his kind of holiday for the middle of the year", said Simon.

Jeanette then came in with a book.

" I have a journal, it must be Nick's", said Jeanette.

Simon read the journal.

" This journal shows the names of people he treated horridly, he managed to make amends with most of them, but there are six others he didn't, their names are John, Alice, Oliver, Sara, Graham and Ella, something tells me these six have a motive for killing him", said Simon.

" I am going to interview them tomorrow one at a time", said Simon.

" Hang on, Simon, I'll be seeing Ella tomorrow, I can interview her, you just handle the other five", said Jeanette.


The next day at 10:00 AM, Simon watched the rally at the football stadium, where John was training for another match this Saturday.

" Hey John", said Simon stopping John from entering.

" Oh hey, you're Alvin's brother, Simon is it", said John.

" Yes", said Simon.

" What brings you here, thinking of trying out", said John jokingly.

" Actually I am here to talk about Nick you know him, right", said Simon.

" Yes I do, look, whatever your asking me, make it quick, I have to get training, my coach will kick me out if I'm late again", said John.

" From what I have heard he has done something very unforgivable, what was it", said Simon.

" Nick hid drugs in my house and my dad nearly disowned me for that because he thought I was taking them", said John.

" Can you tell me where you were at noon yesterday", said Simon.

" I was here playing the match against the wasps, if it wasn't raining Saturday the game would have been then, but it got delayed to Sunday", said John.

Then a shout was then heard inside the stadium.

" HEY JOHN, YOU COMING IN OR WHAT", it was the coach.

" I need to go, see ya Si", said John and he entered to stadium.


It was now 11:00 AM, Alice got out of the changing room, Simon then approached her.

" Hello Alice", said Simon.

" Oh hey Simon", said Alice.

" Do you remember Nick", said Simon.

" Yes I do, and I'm trying not to", said Alice.

" What did Nick do that was unforgivable", said Simon.

" Nick cheated on me with another girl and told everyone that it was me who cheated on him, that was why I didn't have any dates this year", said Alice.

" Can you tell me where were you at noon yesterday", said Simon.

" I was at the mall, picking out my dress for the graduation prom, may I go now, I need to pick out some high heels for the prom", said Alice.


It was now 12:00 PM, noon, 24 hours after Nicks death, Simon entered the school lab where Oliver is.

" Hey Oliver, may I have a word with you", said Simon.

" Is it because of the fair", said Oliver.

" No, it's about Nick, I heard Nick did something unforgivable to you, what is it", said Simon.

" Nick borrowed my car but accidentally crashed it at a important statue, and pretty much blamed it on me, so that means I have to pay for the damage", said Oliver.

" Where were you yesterday at noon", said Simon.

" At school", said Oliver.

" Okay, can you tell me where Sara and Graham are, I can't see them at the school.

" Sara's at her job in the cafe, and Graham is skipping school for today", said Oliver.


It then became 1:00 PM, Simon arrived at the cafe where Sara works, he sees her at the back taking a break.

" Hey Sara, may I have a word with you", said Simon.

" Make it quick, my breaks nearly over", said Sara.

" You remember Nick, and I heard he did something unforgivable to you, what was it", said Simon.

" Nick humiliated me at the school, because of a prank", said Sara.

" What was the prank", said Simon.

" None of your business", said Sara.

" Well can you at least tell me where you were yesterday at noon", said Simon.

" At home, watching TV", said Sara.

She then checked her watch.

" And break times over, got no more to talk to you about", said Sara.


It was 2:00 PM, Simon spotted Graham at the park, he stopped him from walking.

" Hey Graham, may I have a minute of your time to ask you some questions", said Simon.

" Go ahead", said Graham.

" You remember Nick right", said Simon.

" Yes", said Graham.

" I also know Nick did something that cause you to hate him, mind telling me what it is", said Simon.

" He switched my test sheet, with his own, after the exam, costing me my scholarship", said Graham.

" Can you tell me, where were you yesterday at noon", said Simon.

" At work", said Graham.

" Where do you work", said Simon.

" At the library, near the school", said Graham.

Graham then checked his watch.

" Can I go now, my favorite show will start in 10 minutes", said Graham.


At 3:00 PM, Simon arrived back to the scene of the crime, he looked around the place and discovered a few missing things.

" Okay, some of Nicks stuff are missing, someone broke in and stole Nick's bed, TV and shelves, the place is half empty, okay who would break into a dead guys house", said Simon.

Jeanette then arrived.

" Jeanette what did you get from Ella", said Simon.

" She said Nick stole something important to her and sold it, she also said she was at the zoo at the time of Nick's death", said Jeanette.

" Okay, we have everyone's motive, and made some deductions, I would just be down to two if it weren't for this", said Simon, holding the calendar.

" What about it", said Jeanette.

" Apparently the calendar has some message Nick gave to us, something to do with the killer, I know who killed him", said Simon.

" So what now", said Jeanette.

" I am going to reveal the culprit, as soon as we have everyone here, I'll get the suspects, while you get Lilly, she may need to hear this", said Simon.


An hour went by, Simon, Jeanette, Lilly and the six suspects all stand in the exact room Nick was murdered.

" Now as you may not know, I have made some deductions, I then came to a conclusion to who did it, Nick died on Sunday at noon", said Simon.

" It came to you six, you each had a motive for killing Nick, John, he hid drugs at your house and your dad nearly disowned you for it, however, I interviewed your dad saying that Nick told him the truth before he died so your motive was gone so your pretty much innocent", said Simon.

" Graham, Nick switched your test results to his costing you your scholarship, however your teacher said you redid the test before Nick's death because Nick convinced her, so your motive is also gone", said Simon,

" So out of the six of you he did pretty much fix two of his mistakes, the other four he didn't, he didn't write that down on his journal because he was going to call Lilly first saying his goodbye and then write them down, that's why we put you two on the suspect list", said Jeanette.

" But as for the other four he didn't make amends so they still have their motive, Alice, Nick cheated on you with a girl named Chelsea, and told everyone you were the cheater, however you said you were at the mall at the time of Nick's death, Brittany was with you as well so I know you were telling the truth, so that still leaves Oliver, Sara and Ella", said Simon.

" Sara, Nick pulled a humiliating prank on you, care to tell me what it was", said Simon.

" I rather not discuss it in front of everyone else, it's personal", said Sara.

" Okay, and also you said you were at home at the time of Nick's death, I called your mother, after I left the cafe to interview you, and she said so too, so you are telling the truth", said Simon.

" Ella, Nick stole something from you and sold it, mind telling me what is was", said Simon.

" My mothers ring", said Ella.

" And Oliver, Nick crashed your car on the school statue and blamed it you, how much did you have to pay to repair the statue you didn't break", said Simon.

" $35,000", said Oliver.

" Also you said you were at School at the time of Nick's death, and Sara you said you were at the zoo, well, Nick was pronounced dead on Sunday at Noon, both the zoo and school closes on Sunday so you both are lying to me", Simon then held up the calendar.

" And also I looked at the calendar and as it turns out Nick didn't drop dead, when the killer left, Nick used his last bit of strength to grab the calendar and mark down a code.

The first of October is O, the third of July is L, the forth of April is I, the third of November is V, the second of December is E, and the third of March is R, and what do those letters spell, OLIVER", said Simon.

Oliver's eyes widened.

" Yep Oliver, you have been caught, Nick didn't tell the truth, so that gave you your motive, plus after he died stuff has been missing in his house, you've been selling his stuff to help you pay the repairs of the statue", said Simon.

" Yes it was me, the day before his death, he said he would help me pay off the damage, he said he would give me $25 a week, was he expecting me to pay off it all, because of what he did, it was just him then the damage would be repaired in about 26 years and 11 months, however, I've been informed that they will sell one piece of my stuff every week, so first the TV, then the table, etc until the damage is paid off, I told him to tell the truth but he said he was saving his money to leave to college at another state, I wasn't going to let him off like that, so I killed him, and sold as much of his stuff as I can to pay off the damage and also to keep my stuff from being sold, I would have gotten away with it too, if weren't for you", said Oliver.

" Sadly you won't", said Simon.

" Won't I", smirked Oliver evilly, he then pulled out a gun and pointed it at Jeanette.

Lilly then went to the phone about to call the cops.

" Don't touch the phone, remember who I'm pointing the gun at, now here is how it's gonna go down, I will be leaving, and if anyone dares to follow me, she dies", said Oliver.

" What are you going to do with her", said Simon.

" Lets just say you two won't be seeing each other for a long time", said Oliver, he then grabbed Jeanette and left the room.

John ran to the door only to find it locked.

" What the hell is the point of threatening us not to follow him when he's just going to lock the door", said John.

" So he killed Nick, and is going to get away with it as well as kidnapping Jeanette", said Sara.

" Oh don't worry, before I called you all here I called the cops telling them about Oliver, I also remembered his license plate, so they'll be after him in no time", said Simon.

" Not unless he steals someone else's car", said Alice.

Simon then checked out the window seeing Oliver and Jeanette, in Oliver's car.

" Nope he's in his car, we got him", said Simon.


And just like that, the cops came by, Simon told them everything, they followed the car, found Oliver, arrested him for murder, and attempted kidnapping on Jeanette.

A few weeks went by, Simon was at the graduation ceremony, achieving his diploma.

While everyone was at the party celebrating, Simon went outside with his drink in hand, Jeanette then approached him.

" You earned that diploma you know, after solving a case like that you did", said Jeanette.

" Thanks Jean, to be honest, I actually thought he committed suicide to, only for a few seconds after I saw the phone", said Simon.

" There's still something I don't get, if Nick didn't commit suicide, why did he give Lilly that message", said Jeanette.

" Don't tell Lilly this but Nick was really breaking up with her, turns out he was still the same ignorant douche bag he always was", said Simon.

" But he does have a heart inside not completely made of stone, I mean he did make amends with a lot of people", said Jeanette.

" Only because he had to, I think he had a feeling something like this would happen, so he made a list in his journal of people he wronged, and one by one made amends with them, that only left six others, and after knowing it was Oliver who shot him, he grabbed the calendar and used the marker to put down a code, and dropped dead holding the calendar, so we can't miss it", said Simon.

" And also, if Nick was still moving after he got shot, he still could've been the one placing the gun back on the cradle", said Jeanette.

" Think again, an autopsy showed two bullet wounds, one to the lower vertebrate, paralyzing him below the waist, the second was on the chest, killing him", said Simon.

Simon then looked out at the city.

" I solved one crime, and I am also an official detective, out there there is a lot more crime waiting to be solved, and I am ready to begin solving them soon", said Simon.

And there you have it, another one-shot finished, and on a special occasion.
