Home?

Yes, this is yet ANOTHER new story.

I just thought of this story while listening to a song... which you will see IN the story later on! ^^

This story takes place after the Squeakquel (obviously), they're now sophomores in the same school and the Chipettes STILL live with the Chipmunks.

Also, this story is considered "non-canon". What that means is that, since I'm already writing a sequel to the Squeakquel, if I ever go out this long after the movie's ending, this NEVER happened. This is just a simple, cute, but sad, story I thought of a while back. Again, if I ever make another sequel to the Squeakquel, this did NOT happen.

Read and Review! ^^


Chapter 1: The Letter

It's been nearly two years since Alvin rescued the Chipettes from Ian's hands. Nearly two years since they all became one big family. They had gotten past all their differences, and had become friends… and for some, more than that. Now, they were all sophomores in West Eastman High, and soon, even that would be ending.

"Alvin, wake up." Simon said as he lightly shook Alvin. "It's time for school."

"Yeah, yeah…" Alvin sighed as he got out of bed. "Only a couple more months…" Alvin mumbled.

"That's a couple more months for this year; we still have two more years ahead of us." Simon said quietly.

"Exactly, soon, we won't have to go to school anymore." Alvin said as he changed his clothes. "Besides, we have our band; we don't need to go to school."

"Whatever." Simon said, rolling his eyes.

Before Alvin could complain any further, Eleanor came through the door.

"Guys, it's time for breakfast." Eleanor said as she walked out of the room with Simon.

"Let's get this over with…" Alvin sighed as he walked down the stairs.

When he entered the kitchen, he found everyone except Dave was sitting at the table. Theodore and Eleanor were eating their breakfast; Jeanette and Simon were engaging in a science related conversation, and Brittany was reading a fashion magazine.

"Hey, guys." Alvin said quietly.

"Hey." Everyone besides Brittany mumbled.

"Good morning, Alvin." Brittany said as she put her magazine down and playfully tapping the chair next to her.

Alvin gave Brittany a quick kiss and sat down.

"Where's Dave?" Alvin asked as he took food from the dishes on the table.

"He had to go into work early." Eleanor answered. "But he's going to come home a little earlier today."

Alvin didn't respond with words, he simply nodded his head and began eating.

After about ten minutes, it was time to leave for school. They all grabbed their lunches that Dave made for them and headed off to school. They began walking to school this year and no one seemed to really mind it. It wasn't much of a long walk but it did give them some time to catch up with each other.

"So, Alvin," Brittany began. "Who are you taking to the prom?" Brittany asked playfully as she grabbed Alvin's hand.

"Do you even need to ask?" Alvin asked with a grin on his face.

At first, Alvin and Brittany would always have an on and off relationship that would usually end with a fight, then begin with a makeup. But lately, Alvin and Brittany's relationship seemed much more stable. They didn't fight as much; they just simply acted like a couple.

"No, but it would be nice if you did." Brittany replied, slightly annoyed.

"Fine," Alvin sighed. "Brittany, will you go to the prom with me?"

"Of course I would." Brittany answered happily. "Now, was that so hard?"

"Yes." Alvin laughed.

Alvin and Brittany took the lead and walked to school together. As they got to school, they quickly headed towards their classes to avoid getting detention. Both Alvin and Brittany had already gotten plenty of warnings from all of their teachers for being late, they couldn't take any more.

Throughout their classes, Alvin and Brittany didn't pay attention, like usual. They would talk to each other, pass notes, and laugh at everything the teacher would say. Every teacher punished them for it, but that didn't stop them. Eventually the teachers gave up.

"Alvin, Brittany, what do I need to do to get you two to actually pay attention in my class?" The teacher asked, annoyed.

They didn't answer; they just sat there, both trying to refrain from bursting in laughter.

As the school bell rang, it was time for lunch. Alvin and Brittany momentarily split up to walk to their lockers to get their lunches. They then walked to the lunchroom and sat down next down to their family. For a few minutes, all six of them ate silently before Simon put his food down.

"The school year ends in about five months, so when exactly is the prom?" Simon asked, breaking the silence.

"It's the night before the last day of school." Jeanette answered.

"Which means we need to go dress shopping!" Brittany squealed.

Over the years, everyone grew a little taller. Although Simon and Jeanette were still the tallest, Alvin and Brittany were in the middle, and Theodore and Eleanor were still the shortest. They had each gained about a quarter-inch of height, but they were still small. Clothes shopping wasn't a problem though, as they became more famous, tailors discovered a way to perfectly shrink clothes for the Chipmunks to wear.

"Brittany," Eleanor began. "We have five months… we have plenty of time."

Brittany pouted a little before the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. The rest of the day went along pretty normally, Alvin and Brittany continued to goof off in class, and as the last bell of the day rang, they Chipmunks met the Chipettes in their usual spot in the front of school.

"Are you guys ready to go home?" Alvin asked.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Brittany replied as she started walking with Alvin.

As Alvin and Brittany walked forward, Simon began getting nervous. 'Here goes nothing…' Simon thought.

"Jeanette…" Simon began as his face started to redden. "Do you... uh… have a… d-date… you know, to the prom?" Simon asked as he looked away in embarrassment.

"Yes, I do." Jeanette answered with a smile.

"Oh…" Simon sighed as he looked towards the ground.

"And it's you, that is, if you want to take me." Jeanette laughed as she noticed Simon's reaction.

"I wouldn't dream of taking anyone else…" Simon said as he put his arm around Jeanette.

Over the years, Simon and Jeanette never officially started dating. Simon had tried to ask on numerous occasions, but something would always interrupt him. Sometimes it would be an unwanted guest spoiling the moment, or other times it would be Simon's shyness preventing him from doing so.

While going to the prom together didn't exactly mean that they would start dating, they both knew that something magical would happen during the night and that they would end up together. Knowing this meant the world to them, out of all of the other Chipmunks and Chipettes, grades and school meant the most to Simon and Jeanette. But regardless, both were prepared to give all of it up if it meant that they would have a chance together.

Both Simon and Jeanette loved each other, and while neither of them had yet confessed it, they both knew it deep down in their hearts. But for now, they were more together than ever before. They both smiled at each other before walking off from the others.

"Aw, wasn't that sweet, Theodore?" Eleanor said playfully.

"Yeah, yeah it was." Theodore said quietly. 'Good going Simon, now… wish me luck…' Theodore thought nervously. "Eleanor, will you go to the prom with me?"

Eleanor eyes widened, she knew that her and Theodore would end up going together, but she never thought that he would actually ask.

"Do you really want to go with me?" Eleanor asked, still in slight shock.

"Of course," Theodore began. "It would be my honor." Theodore replied with a cute smile on his face.

"Then I would love to." Eleanor said as she put her head on Theodore's shoulder.

Like Simon and Jeanette, Theodore and Eleanor hadn't yet officially started dating, but they were much more open about their relationship. Theodore would still act shy about it, but he would give her presents, take her out, and cook for her.

Eleanor noticed Theodore's shyness and tried to make it easier on him, by doing so, she would usually make all the first moves. But this was the first time Theodore did something this sweet for her without Eleanor having to lead him into doing it. So she was happy, she simply closed her eyes and continued walking with Theodore.

"Looks like they finally got together." Brittany said as her and Alvin observed everything that was happening in back of them.

"Yeah," Alvin said quietly looking at the two new couples, but he put on a childish smile and looked back at Brittany. "I'll give it two days." Alvin laughed.

"Don't say that!" Brittany laughed, lightly hitting Alvin on the arm, but Alvin didn't seem to notice. He simply bent Brittany over and pulled her into a short, but romantic kiss before they continued to walk home.

When they got home, they noticed Dave's car in the driveway. 'Eleanor DID say he'd be home early…' Alvin thought as he walked through the front door.

"Hey everyone," Dave said from the living room. "How was school?"

"It was okay I guess." Alvin answered for all of them.

"I got a notice from the school today saying that there's going to be a prom at the school at the end of the year, is that right?" Dave asked curiously.

"Yeah, it takes place the night before the last day of school." Simon replied.

"That's cool," Dave said happily. "So, who's taking who?" Dave asked childishly.

Nobody answered, but the glance the Chipmunks exchanged with their Chipettes was enough for Dave's answer.

"Alright, well I hope you all have fun." Dave laughed. "Dinner's at five thirty."

"Okay." They all replied as they ran towards the living room.

Over the years, the house went through a significant change. For one, the Chipmunks and Chipettes no longer shared a room. Dave decided that as they got older, they would all need their own privacy. At first, everyone wanted their own rooms but there just wasn't enough room for that.

Dave had also bought new furniture for most of the house. After the Chipettes moved into the family, more and more people would pay to see them perform, and although Dave helped them spend the money wisely, they talked him into refurnishing the house.

Dave had also bought new recording equipment for the house, which he kept neatly in the basement. Dave had also finally gotten in another relationship with Claire, but she was out of state visiting family for a few months.

"So," Alvin began as they all walked into the living room. "What do you guys want to do?"

"We could see what's on TV." Theodore answered.

"Okay." Alvin shrugged.

As they flipped through the channels, they didn't find anything interesting. SpongeBob was on; Meerkat Manor was on, a couple movies here and there, but not really anything interesting. Eventually, Alvin got frustrated and ended up turning the TV off.

"So," Simon began. "I guess that means that we aren't watching TV?"

"Nope." Alvin answered.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Brittany asked.

Before Alvin could give an answer, they heard Dave.

"Guys," Dave called out. "Go get washed up, dinners a little early today."

Everyone looked to the clock in the room, it was already five fifteen.

"Where does the day go?" Alvin mumbled as he walked with everyone to the bathroom.

"What, Alvin?" Brittany asked.

"Nothing…" Alvin sighed.

They all took turns quickly wetting their paws and drying off before they were on their way back to the dining room. As they sat down, Dave started coming out of the kitchen with numerous plates of food.

"So," Dave began as he sat down at the table. "How was school?"

"Okay." They all mumbled as they started eating.

Dave just sighed and started grabbing food for himself, 'They don't talk as much as they used to…' Dave thought as he watched them all eat.

After they finished eating, everyone quickly put their dirty plates into the kitchen sink and started to head off.

"Wait, Alvin," Dave said quickly. "You got a letter in the mail."

Alvin took the letter and examined it for a few seconds.

"Interscope Records…" Alvin whispered. He knew it was a record label, but he didn't really know anything about them.

He opened it and started to read it.

'Dear Alvin Seville,

We understand that you are still at a young age in your life, but we would like to offer you a Solo Record Deal. Please take some time to think it over, and get back to us.

Have a good day,

Interscope Records.'

Alvin's eyes widened as he finished reading the letter, 'What should I do?' He thought. He knew he couldn't leave his family, but this kind of offer would only come once. Alvin simply dropped the letter and ran to his room to think.

He had left everyone speechless, they watched him run into the Chipmunks' room and slam the door.

"What's up with him?" Brittany asked as she grabbed the letter and started reading it. She read it over numerous times to make sure she wasn't imagining what it was saying. "Oh no!" Brittany yelled.

"What's wrong, Brittany?" Dave asked.

"It's Alvin!" Brittany yelled. "He's going to leave!"


First chapter ending with a slight cliffhanger?

Okay, I can live with that...

What will Alvin do? What does everyone think he WILL do? Are they right?
