here's chapter 2 you guys! I don't own AATC! OR BATC! bummer, huh? Oh Well, here it is!

The next day at school was going just fine. Jeanette and her best friend Jammie who was a Chipmunk in half of her classes were walking down the halls, taking their time down to lunch. Many chipmunks had started top join the school since last year in sixth grade. Jammie was one of the few who knew of Simon and Jeanette's relationship.(She is an OC of mine and her description is on my profile, so is SImon's friend Steven) Looking around themselves they noticed a majority of the students casting their heads in the opposite direction of them, or laughing and pointing. All fingers were aimed at Jeanette.

"What's their deal?" Jeanette asked when she and Jammie entered the lunch room.

"You don't know? I guess that might explain why you're still in a good mood." Jammie replied. Jeanette was a tad taken back. Based on what Jammie said this was obviously very large, very false, very hurtful, and very most-likely from Brittany's mouth.

"Do I want to know?" Jeanette asked. then thought a moment and added, "Don't answer that."

"My cousin Halley, she's on the cheerleading squad," Jammie began.

"I know Halley, she's nice... Nothing like Brittany's other friends." Jeanette mumbled aloud. Jammie nodded.

"Yeah, she always tell me what Brittany says, just because it's so unfathomable. Here:" Jammie whispered in Jeanette's ear what Brittany had said to her friends and was now school-wide gossip. Jeanette stopped dead in her tracks when Jammie finished. She had tears of frustration, and sadness in her eyes, but tried as hard as she could to not let them fall. She sniffled.

"let's go, I don't wanna be seen." Jeanette said sadly, "You know that's not true right, Jammie?" Jammie squeezed her shoulder and smiled,

"I know it's not true, But I know that it hurts either way. Come on, I think Simon's the only one who can solve this one." Jeanette sniffled again. Eleanor, Jeanette thought as she was mindlessly lead to the back table where she, Jammie, Simon, and his best friend Steven sat, she'll be furious... but with who...?

The next thing Jeanette was completely aware of was Simon's arms around her, and Steven, and Jammie's hands on her shoulders, as tears fell down her cheeks.

After she calmed down a little, she looked up to Simon,

"I'm guessing you heard, huh?" she sniffled. She really hated crying - it always gave her a headache, afterwards.

"yeah, I heard. And I knew the moment they said it that it wasn't true." Jeanette smiled, though she loved it that her friends were so supportive, she still felt like dirt with extra poo on top. Simon realized this and turned to Steven, and Jammie.

"Okay guys, I think Jeanette needs the 'procedure'." Jammie and Steven turned to each other and smiled mischeviously.

"vhat vrocedure should be done voday, mastar?" Steven played as he hunched himself over and rubbed his hands like a crazed igor.

"Vooh!" Jammie continued, "vaybe Mastar vants the big vrocedure, the one wif all tha vointy vingies!" Simon looked at them smiling widely,

"No, no, no, my faithful companions the BM procedure, and no not that kind of BM, Igor Steven." Simon said with a more subtle accent.

"awe!" Steven said understanding what he meant. Jammie nodded too and they began to sing:

Three little birds, by Bob Marley

Steven and Jammie: bum, bum, bum, bum , bum

Simon:

Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Steven and Jammie: Bum bum bum, Buuuum

all: Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin',

Jammie: "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

all:

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin',

Steven: "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

All:

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing"

Simon: - I won't worry!

Jammie and Steven"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."

Simon

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right"

All:- I won't worry!

Steven and Jammie:

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,

Simon:oh no!

All:
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Jeanette smiled at them. And they smiled back.

And, in no time at all it seemed, the lunch period had ended and Jeanette and Jammie walked out with smiled on their faces to the only other class they had without Simon and Steven. Simon and Steven stayed back to pick up their table for a moment since their class was right next door.

"I don't know what I'm gonna so, Steven." Simon said sadly as he watched them go, "We can't sing Bob Marley forever. This has to stop!" he added angrily.

"I know, man. What's the update this week?" Steven didn't live in the school district, so he never quite knew everything going on in his friends lives, so every Thursday he'd ask for an update from Simon.

"Same, I'm afraid the homework crisis of 1987 has yet to end" (yes it's 1987! The chipmunks the old cartoon ones, are in MIDDLE SCHOOL!) Simon sighed. Steven made a face as he dumped some trash,

"Ooh. Sorry to hear about that. I wish Brittany would leave Jeanette alone. Then at least it wouldn't hurt as bad when this gossip starts!" Simon shrugged,

"Jeanette doesn't see it that way. She counts the homework crisis as getting to connect with Brittany and then me at Five a.m.! Ugh! I love her to pieces, but sometimes she's too positive! And Brittany takes full advantage of it! It's like the only real sister to Jeanette is Eleanor and Jammie!"Simon growled as he said this. Then calmed himself as they walked out of the cafeteria into their next class,

"I wish it'd end. I wish she'd be able to have some peace somewhere in her life!" Steven nodded as they sat down,

"Hey, try not to stress too much about it- you are her peace, man. And if any link in her family isn't acting like family, then we're her family. You, Jammie, Jeanette and I we're a family a tad kooky, maybe we're a bit out of whack, But we are all each other's nerdy second family. " Simon smiled and they nodded, and began to work on the assignment on the board.

Alright that's chapter 2! I hope you liked it and incase you were wondering what Brittany had said I intend not to tell you because this is rated K. Besides that I don't know what she said actually! I just know it was hurtful! SOmetimes authors just aren't informed of these things! But it keeps the reader guessing! So guess away and read and review!
