Hey, guys! Thank you for the quick reviews! As promised, here's chapter 2, A New Beginning! Please R&R! I won't post chapter 3 till I get a few more reviews!


"Hey guys, we need to talk," said Dave to the Chipmunks and Chipettes, "you've been singing some great songs out there, but I feel some of it is not appropriate, even if you are in High School."

"What do you mean, Dave?" asked a perplexed Simon.

"Take a look at the song 'I Gotta Feeling': The song, when listened to, means you just want to have fun. However, if you watch the music video from the Black Eyed Peas, the song talks about sex, which isn't something I feel you guys need to be singing, especially now that you are doing tours and little kids are there. Also, some of the other songs out there mean other things, like Lady GaGa's 'Poker Face'. I just feel you need to be singing a different genre of songs, not that all of the songs you are singing are bad, like Livin' On a Prayer and So What. So maybe since we all liked that song so much, I thought we should start singing Christian music instead of what we are singing now." said Dave, looking hopeful that everyone would agree.

"Well, Dave, when you put it that way, it does seem like a good idea, but what will the fans think? And what about the others?" asked Simon.

"I like the idea," said a shy Theodore. Two others, Jeanette and Eleanor, nodded their heads in agreement.

"I don't know, Dave. What if we just don't enjoy singing about God and all of that? Think of how many bands went from rock stars to nothing because they changed the way they played. Could we have the same result?" asked Brittany, curiously.

"Also, if the fans don't like us, the companies won't like us, meaning I won't get any money in. I also would be the laughing stock at West Eastman because we changed. Do you want that happening?" asked Alvin, thinking about himself.

"Stop thinking about yourself. I don't want to end up in the hospital again," said Dave to Alvin, remembering France. "I think they will love you all the same, no matter what you change to. Look at other artists, Brittany. They weren't doing to good, but, when they changed to another style, they did great. I just want you to try it out," Dave told Brittany, still trying to convince Alvin and Brittany in their hard-set ways.

"I still don't want to do it. It's too big on my image," said Alvin, stubbornly.

"How about if I lift both of your groundings? Would you do it then?" questioned Dave, practically reduced to bribing both.

"Deal," said Brittany. Six pairs of eyes looked to Alvin.

"I'm still not gonna do it! I refuse to be a part of such deception!" cried Alvin, now getting frustrated with the others.

"Alvin, please. Just try it. We'll start in town first, then see how it goes from there, alright? Please?" asked Dave, ready to give up. "I'll even buy you that game you've been wanting for a while now. What was it, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep? I'll buy it for you if you do this for me."

"Done. I get first dibs on it, since we all have to share it," agreed Alvin. The other six gave out a huge sigh, some from relief, some from not believing him, and some for just giving up. At least Alvin was getting what he wanted… again.

"So, what group do you want to sing? I can use Pandora Radio to help, if need be," said Simon, now grateful that technology is working to his advantage.

"Why don't we start with the new one that we heard today. What was it, Skillet? What are some others you want to try?" wondered Dave.

"Let's try Kutless," said Simon.

"Let's try Flyleaf," joined Jeanette.

"No, let's do Newsong," said Theodore, wanting to do Christmas Shoes.

"How about Amy Grant?" questioned Eleanor. She really liked El Shaddai.

"BarlowGirl?" piped up Brittany.

"How about what we sing now?" asked Alvin.

"Alvin!" six voices rang, five high and one low.

"Fine. Toby Mac," mumbled an irritated Alvin.


Seems just like Alvin to do that, huh? Well, I'm gonna keep them coming! If you want something in the story, let me know!
