Takes place not long after Squeakquel.
Prologue- It's Show Time
It was a winter concert just in time for Christmas. The Chipmunks were ready to go. Now that the Chipettes had been living with them, Dave decided to help them with their stardom too. The Chipettes were to open for the boys. Eventually they were beginning to sing with the boys more during the concert and hopefully get their own concerts going- that is if they were to find a new home and a new caretaker. The Chipettes all paced around backstage nervously.
"Ohmigosh! I can't believe this! This is not happening!" Brittany said feeling very flustered at the moment.
The Chipmunks on the other hand didn't seem nervous at all. Alvin was casually tuning his guitar while the other two just sat and waited patiently for the show to start.
Eleanor asked, "Why do they make the newer band perform first? Why is it always the opening act? Don't they expect them to be more nervous?"
Jeanette tried to calm her sister down with, "It's okay, Ellie! We've performed in front of lots of people before."
Alvin cut in, "Uh yea- the school auditorium. That's nothing! You're performing in a stadium full of maybe a good thirty thousand some people watching you."
The three girls gulped. Brittany looked like she was going to pass out.
"How come you guys aren't nervous? Don't you find this completely nerve-racking?" Brittany asked.
"Us? Nervous? Pffft! Yea right. We're pros at this," Alvin said.
Simon and Theodore shook their heads at this. Theodore said, "Of course we're nervous. We could be performing for the rest of our lives and still be nervous before every concert."
Simon put in, "Yeah. Everyone gets butterflies in their stomachs no matter what. It's completely natural."
Brittany wrapped her arms around her stomach and moaned, "Oh! But these aren't butterflies! These are knots!"
Simon waved his hand and said, "You girls are going to be just fine. As soon as you belt out those first few lines, it'll be like nothing."
Alvin put his guitar down and joined the other five and said, "Yeah. You have nothing to worry about. I don't even see how you could mess up. Unless you get too carried away like I did, which resulted with Dave being in the hospital for several weeks."
The girls gasped and looked at one another. Alvin nonchalantly walked around and said, "What am I saying? You'll be fine. But if you do crash and burn, it could really ruin your reputation. On the other hand, it'll be in the beginning of the show so by the end everyone will forget about that little mess up."
The Chipettes were now on a roller coaster of emotions as Alvin continued his pondering out loud, "Then again, if the mistake is big enough it could end up on the news. Did we tell you this performance is being broadcasted live?" Alvin stopped next to his brothers and smiled as he said this. Simon elbowed him hard in the ribs.
"We're going to die out there!" Brittany cried. Her sisters hugged her. Jeanette said, "We'll be fine, Britt. Besides, if we do mess up, then we mess up together."
"I suppose you're right," Brittany said taking a deep breath, "Okay, girls! We can do this!"
Brittany put her fists up and puffed out her chest a bit with much confidence. Jeanette and Eleanor smiled and raised their heads in agreement.
Just then a stage manager came over and called to the Chipettes, "You're on in three minutes!"
That was it, the three girls fell over backwards at this. They're eyes wide in terror and their mouths hanging open. Luckily, the boys were behind them to catch them- Theodore catching Eleanor, Alvin catching Brittany, and Simon catching Jeanette.
Alvin chuckled at this. Once the girls recovered they all went back into their panic mode.
"Seriously! Everything's going to be alright. I promise!" Alvin said a little frustrated now with the terrified Chipettes.
Alvin then smiled and began to sing:
Baby, don't worry,
About a thing,
He put his arm around Brittany who flinched as he did. His brothers then both joined in on the chorus:
Because every little thing is gonna be alright!
Baby, don't worry! (don't cha' worry)
About a thing! (Baby, don't cha' worry about a thing)
Cause everything little thing,(Oh!) is gonna be alright! Yes it is-
"Okay! We get it!" Brittany screamed. She moved away from Alvin's arm, still very flustered. She seemed a bit intimidated by the Chipmunks' happiness and worry-freeness.
Alvin laughed again and said, "You know, might as well get used to it. Pretty soon, you three will have your very own concerts where people come just to see you. Then you'll have dozens of songs and albums. And then, like every other female artist concert, you'll have to change your outfit for each song you sing." Alvin rolled his eyes at the idea.
Brittany seemed to perk up at this. "Wow! A different outfit for every song!" She began to imagine this. It would be a dream come true to her.
The six chipmunks then heard the announcer's voice. It was time for the Chipettes to strut their stuff.
The Chipmunks stood on the side backstage. The crowd cheered as the Chipettes appeared. Alvin called, "Remember, we'll still love you even if you do crash and burn!"
Simon and Theodore swatted Alvin on each arm. Alvin gritted his teeth and rubbed both his arms.
The Chipettes sang "A Public Affair" beautifully and confidently. It kind of bothered Alvin that they were opening a Chipmunk concert with such a "girly" song, but he actually found himself tapping his foot to it as the song went on. The Chipettes stumbled a bit in their dance, but they were able to quickly shake it off. It was obvious they were enjoying being up there; especially Brittany. She even added an extra wink at the end. The crowd roared with excitement. This was it! The Chipettes' dreams had come true. The fame, the glory, the butterflies of excitement. The Chipmunks congratulated the Chipettes as they exited the stage.
