The T-V rumbled, spitting out dialogue and monologue from the documentary of WWI. Simon sat there, staring into the screen, soaking himself in such action-filled history. Alvin sat there, bored out of his mind, wondering to himself what the point of watching such a dumb documentary, his point was, he wasn't learning anything.
"Why are we-"
"Shh, shut up Alvin." Simon said, reveled in the moment of war and history. Theodore, scared, was hiding behind his blankie, holding his teddy-bear close.
"Don't worry, Teddy. It's only a movie." he said, feeling his tummy rumbling, gurgling. Alvin folded his arms and turned his attention to his brother, who was still gazing into the movie screen.
"Simon? W-W-What's the point of this? I already know so much about WWI or..WWII, it's about a war between three countries-"
"Five, Alvin. The Soviet Union, France, Germany, Spain, and America. 1-2-3-4-5," Simon interrupted, turning his attention to his bored-out-of-his-mind brother, who had an angry gaze on his face. Theodore looked up from his blankie.
"I thought it was four." he said. Simon groaned. "Clearly, you two haven't been paying attention."
"Only 'cause I don't care!"
"Yes, Alvin. The only precious reason, you wouldn't care about doing your homework: Watching a movie and writing a report about it,(two paragraphs at least) is because you just don't care." he said, scoffing to himself. Alvin spread his hands out, with an obvious face.
"DUH!" he said. Theodore quivered his lips.
"Don't fight guys. It never ends well. We have to plan a special day for the Chipettes and Paige remember?" he said. Simon grabbed a clipboard from behind him.
"Yes, and we're all clear on the plan right?" he asked. Alvin nodded. "Yes, but planning for Brittany is like, THE hardest chipettes to plan for. She wants to do so many things for her birthday." Alvin folded his arms. Simon chuckled to himself.
"Planning for Jeanette was easy. She loves a lot of things I love. So I'm taking her to the museum." he said. Alvin jumped up, immediately.
"What? The museum. We are not all going to the museum just because Jeanette likes it." Alvin protested.
"Where are you taking Brittany?" Simon asked. Alvin scoffed.
"I'm taking her to the football game." Alvin said. Simon folded his arms, groaning. "Alvin, you can't take Brittany to something, she doesn't want to do." He argued.
"How do you know what Brittany wants?" Alvin retorted. Simon scoffed. "Maybe I called her? It's the Chipettes' birthday!"
"Okay smart guy! What does Brittany wants for her shared birthday with her sisters?" she asked. Simon scoffed.
"She wants a spa day, but since she has 3 extra sisters, she's getting a 2 hour spa time," Simon clarified. Alvin gasped.
"Spa day! As in, rub-her-feet, and massage-her-back-and-legs, spa day?" he asked. Simon rolled his eyes. "Relax, Alvin. You're not doing any of that." Alvin felt relieved. Doing all that stuff for Brittany would make him feel off. It would ruin his "reputation" and his "street cred." Simon on the other hand, didn't care. He felt as if, even if he did do any of that stuff, he'd still have the perfect day planned for Jeanette. He then turned to Theodore.
"So what did you plan, Theodore?" he asked. Theodore grabbed a paper on his left side.
"I pretty much planned taking her to the soccer game. She loves soccer." he said. Simon scratched his head and gave a nervous chuckle. "Is there anything else."
"Uhhh," Theodore looked once again at his paper. "Nope, except do everything you guys planned." Simon smiled.
"Perfect! Where's Sheldon?" he asked.
"I'm over here!" said a voice. Sheldon was at the staircase, wearing a turquoise hoodie. Theodore piped up.
"So what did you plan for Paige's share of the birthday?" he asked, curious. Sheldon laughed at his little brother.
"You'll have to see tomorrow."
20 minutes later...
The doorbell rang with a gentle, ding, dong! Alvin hurried to the door and jumped to swing the handle and pulled it. He jumped down to see Jeanette smiling at the door.
"J-Jeanette! I was, expecting Brittany." he said frowning. Jeanette rolled her eyes. "I'm sure you were. But it's not only my birthday!" she said. Alvin stuttured.
"How d-d-did you-"
"Again, Alvin. I called Jeanette." Simon said with his hands behind his back. Alvin looked at Simon and growled. He turned back to Jeanette, who was now beside Brittany, who had a big grin on her face.
"Hi Alvin! Guess what today is!"
"Yes, yes, Brittany's BIG DAY..eve." Alvin said, whining. Brittany rolled her eyes. "I love you too,"
"Really?"
"No."
"Aww," Alvin whined and walked off. Simon then stepped up.
"Hello girls, you must be tired." he said. Paige laughed.
"NOT me, I was up all night sightseeing! We were in Miami this year!"
"I'm exhausted, we took Paige to all our favorite places. Brittany kept us up all night!" Eleanor whined. Brittany scoffed lightly and folded her arms; rolling her eyes.
"I did not! I just love all those places. Paige likes them!" Jeanette put a hand on her head.
"Technically, it wasn't all night. It was 14 hours 20 minutes and 2 seconds. The other hours were eating, changing, and trying to sleep." Jeanette informed with drowsy eyes. Simon nodded.
"Well, tomorrow is your shared birthday, so you will need as much rest as possible." Simon said. Jeanette smiled.
"Thank you Simon. We really appreciate it. But will we-"
"Well, you guys should go rest," he said moving to the side and gesturing the girls in. The girls all hurried into the house and to their rooms. Simon then closed the door and blushed. Sheldon was in the kitchen with Theodore preparing some food.
"Well, when are they coming for dinner?" Sheldon asked turning around. Simon gasped. "Dinner?" Sheldon nodded, still looking at the pot of pasta and pan of hazel nuts and broccoli. Simon widened his eyes and hurried up the stairs.
"Girls! Dinner!" Alvin laughed watching his brother hurry up the stairs.
"You should've listened to the smart one, smart guy!" he cackled! Sheldon
