I'd like to give credit to Lucas Carter who asked me to write this story, I'm going to make it as good as possible so I hope you all enjoy! It is based off of the movie The Switch.

I don't own any of the bagdasarian characters or the movie The Switch, please enjoy.

New York City

7 years ago

The sun shone over the brilliant city of New York. There were people everywhere, cabs and all different types of cars drove around picking up or dropping off people.

In a busy train station a small chipmunk rushed past loads of stomping feet. He had russet fur and a brilliant pair of golden-brown eyes; he wore a pair of black dress trousers and a red shirt with a black sweater vest.

Look at us, running around. Always rushed, always late. I guess that's why it's called the human race. What we crave most in this world is connection, for some people it happens at first sight, it's when you know you know. It's fate working its magic, and that's great for them. They get to live in a pop song, ride the express train, but that's not how it really works. For the rest of us it's a lot less romantic. It's complicated and it's messy, it's about horrible timing and fumbled opportunities, and not being able to say what you need to say when you need to say it. At least that's the way it was for me.

The small thirty three year old chipmunk sat in between two people on the train sighing to himself as he rode the train to his favourite restaurant where he would meet his best friend. Once he got off of the train he ran on all fours past crowds of people who were coming home from work, he only stopped when he was at the traffic lights.

There was a crowd of people but there was one man that stood out, he stood right at the front of the crowd and was shouting random abuse at people. As a woman on a bicycle cycled past he started shouting "Fat, pedalling, funny looking bitch! Fat, pedalling, funny looking bitch!" the chipmunk stared up at him in confusion, the man never noticed though.

"Pig faced, limpy looking mama! I've got a pig faced, limpy looking mama!" he began to chant as a woman limped across the road, the chipmunk gave a heavy sigh which caught the man's attention. "A beady eyed little man chipmunk is staring at me! He's staring at me!" The red shirted chipmunk looked at him like he was crazy before sprinting on all fours when the green man appeared.

He pushed open the restaurant door and looked around, he then spotted his best friend. She was a chipette, she wore a pink shirt under and grey blazer and had matching grey trousers. She was studying a magazine but she looked up and gave him a weak wave and looked at her watch, the chipmunk smiled sheepishly at her before leaping onto the table.

"Hey, Britt" he said with a smile as they hugged each other "Sorry I'm late, got held up at work and I missed my train"

"Hey, Alvin. It's ok; I basically just got here like...fifteen minutes ago!" Alvin gave yet another sheepish smile.

"Sorry" They both sat on top of the table and talked like they usually do; they also ordered a little food. As Alvin explained what had happened at the traffic lights she laughed.

"Alvin, you are not a beady eyed little man chipmunk. You are a cute little beady eyed man chipmunk!" she laughed, Alvin rolled his eyes.

"Wow, you really do know how to make me feel better!" she giggled again "I mean seriously, I'm a little beady eyed man chipmunk who should really think about getting a job where he doesn't need to wear this!" he said while pointing to his black sweater vest. Brittany let out yet another chuckle.

"It was just some freak on the street, Alvin! Nothing to get worried about!"

"That's it, exactly! He didn't even know me and he was offending me like he had known me for like...years!"

"Your just over reacting now, Alvin! Anyway I want to show you something" Brittany began to rake through her bag.

"No, I want to show you something" Alvin argued back as he pulled out his phone "Look, isn't that funny!" Alvin handed her the phone. She rolled her eyes at the picture.

"Why do you keep sending me pictures with weird animals saying random stuff, like the cat that says 'I has cheeseburger!'?" Brittany said in a funny tone as she gave Alvin back the phone.

Alvin smirked "Well I'm sorry if I want my best friend's opinion about a weird cat picture" Brittany shook her head at him.

"Anyway, look at this chart" Alvin studied the chart carefully before giving up.

"What am I supposed to be seeing here?" He asked, Brittany flipped the newspaper around.

"It looks like a pregnant belly, which leads me to my next point" Brittany paused dramatically but Alvin began to make weird groaning noises while eating his food. "Can you please stop...having sex with your food and listen" Alvin swallowed the food and sat forward and then the bombshell dropped. "I'm going to have a baby" Alvin's eyes widened, what was she thinking!

"Um...are you pregnant?" He gulped; dreading the answer.

"No, not yet...but I'm working on it!" She said confidently as she put her newspaper back. "I went to the doctors...or the vets...anyway she said that I'm ready to have a baby! How great is that!"

"Wow, so great!" Alvin lied; he tried to make it seem as real as possible.

"I could actually do this; I have a new job at the network and I can raise a child, I did good with my sister's children when they left them with me so I don't see why I couldn't raise a child of my own!"

"Is this about Paul? You know you can just chop him up and put him into your not seeing any more list!"

"This is not about Paul, Alvin! And thanks for bringing it up!" she said sarcastically.

"I just think you can do a lot better like actually looking at getting into a serious relationship before skipping to the next step!"Brittany sighed before standing up.

"I'm sorry, Alvin! But I'm having a baby, I'll need someone to help me pick out a donor and I have a feeling who I want to help me!" With that Brittany got up and left the restaurant, Alvin growled a little before running after her. There was no way he was letting her go through with this.

I hope you have all liked it and if you haven't seen The Switch I suggest you do cause it is such a good movie! Please read and review and I'll update soon! I'm also trying to make it a little less adult like but there will still be bad language and stuff like that!
