A/N: Here's the good stuff, they meet again after 15 years. I don't own the chipmunks, or chipettes. Please read and review! Sorry if it's awful, but the story will get better!
Jeanette, Brittney, and Eleanor walked into the elementary school library where Jeanette worked. Today, Eleanor would be helping out with the book fair, while Brittney had nothing else to do since she had been laid off.
Jeanette put her purse behind her desk and directed her sisters what to do. She then grabbed a stack of books and went to go start shelving them.
"Turn here Alvin." Simon said pointing to a school driveway.
Alvin made a sharp turn causing his brothers to hold on for dear life. Alvin slammed on the brakes and parked the rental car.
They all got out of the car, dizzy from Alvin's driving. Before Simon could get very far Alvin placed a paw on his shoulder. Simon turned around and looked at his older brother. "Si, why do you have to move? I'm sure there is a professor job back in Oaks Grove."
Simon groaned "Al, we have been over this. I'm moving here end of discussion."
"But we'll miss you" Theodore protested.
"I'll miss you guys too, but we'll still visit each other." Simon said trying to cheer his brothers up.
"I guess" Theodore said still unsure about the whole thing.
"Can we go in now? I want to make sure this school has a good library unlike the last one we checked out." Simon said dragging his brothers into the school.
After the one hour and a half the tour finally ended. The boys were about to leave when Simon spotted the library. "And we almost got away home free" Alvin sighed as Simon led the way to the library.
"Look" Theodore said pointing to a sign. "They're having a book fair; maybe they'll have some good cookbooks."
The group walked into the library and Theodore immediately spotted the cookbooks. Simon looked around and headed towards the science section leaving Alvin all alone.
He looked around and spotted a magazine stand. "Better than nothing" he mumbled. He grabbed a sports magazine and began flipping through it.
He looked up expecting Simon to have said something about how poorly the books were shelved by now. To his surprise instead he saw a woman reading a fashion magazine. The women just happened to be Brittney, but Alvin didn't know that.
"Hey" he said to her.
"Hello" Brittney responded not even bothering to look up from her magazine.
Alvin was getting bored so he asked "So do you work here or..?"
"No, my sister does. What about you, what are you doing here?" Brittney asked almost enjoying the strangers company, even though she'd never let it show.
"I'm here looking at schools with my brother"
Brittney nodded and was about to ask for his name when there was a loud CRASH!
Theodore walked over to the cookbooks leaving his brothers. He saw a women (who was Eleanor) digging in a cabinet for something.
"Excuse me, which cookbook do you recommend?" he asked her.
Eleanor didn't have to think as her hand flew pointing to her favorite cookbook.
Theodore followed to where her finger was pointing. He picked up the book and read the title out loud "Arabian Night Dinners."
Eleanor giggled and said "No the one next to Arabian Night Dinners."
Theodore put the book down and looked at the one next to it. He picked it up and read the title through gritted teeth. "Theodore's Tasty Treats for All Occasions."
"It's the best, the recipes and the author."
Theodore looked at her wondering if she knew him. "Do you know him?" he asked curiosity.
"Once, or at least I thought I did." Eleanor replied sadly remembering Theodore.
Theodore was about to ask how but was interrupted by a loud CRASH!
Simon walked around the library making sure it was nice and neat, while Jeanette was walking around and held a huge stack of books that covered her face. Jeanette tripped over her shoelace. She crashed into Simon and they both fell to the ground, causing a loud CRASH, to echo through the library.
Alvin was the first to arrive at the scene. "Simon you klutz" he said as he helped Simon to his feet.
"I am not a klutz" Simon said dusting off his shirt. He took another step and slip on a book; landing on his back.
Alvin couldn't help but laugh as his brother groaned. "Second verse same as the first. Simon you klutz"
Theodore arrived at the scene and rolled his eyes. "Alvin lay off of him."
Brittney and Eleanor arrived were the last to arrive. "Jeanette are you alright?" Eleanor asked as they rushed over to their sister, helping her to her feet.
"You alright Simon?" Alvin asked
"A bit dizzy" he replied.
Alvin pulled out a seed looking thing from his pocket and handed it to Simon. "Eat it" Alvin said.
Simon took the seed and swallowed it. "It tastes bitter" he said in disgust.
"I didn't say it was chocolate" Alvin smirked.
"Alvin, is that you?" Brittney asked.
Alvin turned around and stared at the chipettes. "Brittney" he said surprised.
"Eleanor?" Theodore said looking at the chipettes.
"Theodore" Eleanor managed to get out.
"Simon" Jeanette said in shock looking at the chipmunk she had crashed into.
"Jeanette" he said equally shocked.
Simon got to his feet and picked up some of the books Jeanette dropped. "Where do you want these" he asked.
Jeanette picked up the books that were left and said "Just put them over here" as she went over to the main desk. Everyone followed behind.
Brittney looked over to see Alvin staring at her. She gave him a glare and he smiled brightly at her. "You were reading the fashion magazine." He finally said in triumph.
Theodore looked at Eleanor, "And you recommended my book to me"
Simon laid the books down and straitened his glasses. "To state the obvious, we crashed into each other" he said grinning at Jeanette.
Brittney glanced at the three brothers and grew impatient. "What are you guys even doing here?"
"Like I said earlier, we're here looking at elementary schools with Simon." Alvin said putting an arm around Simon's shoulders, much to Simon's displeasure.
"Simon, aren't you a bit old for elementary school" Jeanette teased.
Simon shrugged Alvin off his shoulders and chuckled. "Actually it's for my kids."
The chipettes looked at him in shock.
"Oh," Jeanette said "So I guess you're-you're"
"Married," Simon suggested holding up his left hand to reveal a golden band on his ring finger.
They stood in silence until Alvin said "How about a game of kerplunk?"
"Alvin," Theodore hissed. "Not now."
He turned to Eleanor and asked "Hey Ellie can I get one of those cookbooks?"
"Theo you aren't going to steal some recipes are you" Simon joked.
"What is he talking about?" Brittney asked no one in particular.
Theodore sighed "I have to come up with some more recipes for my new cookbook, Theodore's Mouth-Watering Meals for All Occasions."
He thought for a moment then turned to Eleanor. "Ellie, do you have any recipes that I can use. You'd get full credit."
"Of course, can you come over tonight and check them out?"
"Sure" Theodore smiled.
Simon looked at his watch and sighed. "Guys we got to go"
Eleanor handed Theodore her address and they agreed on a time.
The group of boys headed towards the exit. They were about to leave when Alvin turned around and ran back to the girls holding a card in his hand.
"Britt, will you go out with me tonight?" he asked her.
She didn't even have to think twice "I would love to Alvin"
"Romeo let's go! We still have eight schools to check out" Simon hollered.
Alvin rolled his eyes and asked "Do you and Ellie live together?"
Brittney nodded and Alvin smiled "I'll come around with Theo then."
He went back to his brothers and they left teasing Alvin.
Brittney watched them leave and thought to herself "After being laid off and dumped, things are finally starting to look up"
