Ch.2: New Beginnings
*I don't own any part of the Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise*
(And yes, this is the CGI version, not the cartoon. Also, I have nothing against the cartoon version. Alex is a guy.)
We got out and walk to the door. My mom knocks and we wait, then from inside we heard, "Coming."
The door opened to a man with black hair and a kind smiles, he looked as if he just got out of bed though.
"Ah, Alex, You made it." Dave said opening the door wider, motioning us in.
After I enter, mom goes and gets our things. I start to look around and notice all the awards on shelves.
"Wow, are those trophies all their's?" I ask Dave.
"Every last one."
"Wow."
My mom came in with our things.
"Need help, Mom?"
"No, I've got it. Where do I put them, Dave?"
"Uh, well, actually, I just wanted Alex here."
"Oh, I see." Mom said with a little annoyance in her voice. "I guess I'll set Alex's stuff here and leave so he can get acquainted."
Mom puts down my stuff and goes back to the car with her things, puts them in and drives off. I was in shock at how fast this happened, I didn't even blink.
"Alex, are you okay?" Dave asked with concern in his voice.
"Y-Yeah, just fine."
"Hey, Dave, who are you talking to?" A voice from down the hallway asked.
"Oh, Simon, get the others, I want you to meet someone."
"Alright."
I look at Dave, confused. "Simon?"
"He's one of my kids. Well, now they are."
"How many do you have?"
"Six."
"Six? Six other chipmunks?"
"Yup." He smiled.
"That's awesome!"
Just then, I heard footsteps coming down the hall, then two faces pop around the corner and see me. "Who is he?" They both say in unison.
"Eleanor, Theodore, this is Alex."
The two chipmunks, both oddly wearing shades if green, come over and look at me.
"You're a chipmunk?" Theodore asked.
"Yeah."
"But you're fur is so dark." Eleanor stated.
"I know, I don't know where that came from."
They both look me over. Suddenly Theodore come up to me and extends his paw. "I'm Theodore."
"I know, I heard Dave." I said, shaking his hand.
Eleanor waves. "So you know my name then too."
"Yup." I smile. "I heard there were six of you, where are the others?"
"Their coming, their just slow." Just as Eleanor said that, four other chipmunks came out.
"Who's the dude?" The one wearing red asked.
"Alvin, Brittany, Simon, and Jeanette, this is Alex."
"Sup bro." Alvin said crossing his arms.
"Hi." Brittany waved.
"Hello." Simon said, pushing up his glasses.
"Um,Hi." Jeanette said, hiding slightly behind Simon.
"Hey guys." I smile at them.
"So, Alex, you'll sleep in the boys room, alright?"
"Hey! We never agreed to that!" Alvin shouted.
"Alvin, just let him sleep in our room, it's only fair. He has no other place to sleep."
Alvin growls slightly and stomps off to their room.
"Uh,sorry about causing trouble guys." I say, rubbing the back of my head.
"No, it's not you Alex, it's Alvin." Dave said, walking to their room.
"Sorry about this Alex, this must not be the best first impression." Simon said, smiling sheepishly.
"No, it's fine. I've seen much worse."Dave comes back with Alvin.
"Alex, take your stuff into their room."
I hurriedly get my things and rush into the room and hide them under the spare bed (the only bed that isn't bunk),then rush back.
"There."
"Good, and Alvin, it's just a room."
"Still."
"Alvin, just calm down." Theodore said, giving Alvin "puppy dog" eyes.
"Oh, alright." He smiled.
"Thanks." Theodore hugged Alvin.
"Hey, Theo, where's mine?" Eleanor asked, opening her arms.
Theodore smiled and rushed to give her a hug.
Jeanette and Brittany giggled at that.
"Anyway, who's hungry?" Dave asked, trying to get things moving for my first night.
We all raised our hands."Good, what do you guys what?"
"Pizza." Alvin almost shouted.
"Chinese." Theodore and Eleanor said in unison.
"I don't care." Simon shrugged.
"Us either." Brittany and Jeanette stated.
"Alex, what about you?" Dave asked.
"Anything's fine with me."
"Well, Chinese it is then."
Dave picks up the phone and orders. The rest of us sit on the couch and flip on the T.V.
"So, Alex, how long are you staying?" Brittany asked.
"You gotta ask Dave. It's up to him."
"Dave? How long is Alex going to be here?"
Dave looks up at Brittany. "Why?"
"Oh, just wondering."
"Oh, well, however long he wants."
"I was thinking he could come to our school."
My eyes widen. "W-What?"
"Yeah, I think it'd be fun."
Dave looks as if he's thinking. "Why don't we call the school tomorrow for Alex?"
Everyone looked at Dave in utter shock.
"Really?" I asked, smiling slightly.
"Yes really."
We all laugh slightly in excitement for what may happen.
Our food finally gets here. We eat, clean up, and head to bed. My thoughts are racing about the day to come.
