Chapter 2 – New acquaintances

During the summer that had just passed, while the boys were preparing for the new school year, there were other events taking place as well. Even if these events were not in the same country they will have all the relevance in the world for the chipmunks, in time. These events could even change the entire course of their life, and who knew their arch nemesis would bring them together?

Sometime during the summer Ian made his way halfway across the world without anything to show for it, he had not encountered one talking animal and obviously none that could sing. But he kept going, and today his plane was landing in Sydney, Australia. He didn't have any expectations, for he had all but lost any hopes of getting back at the chipmunks that ruined his career. But when he was on his way to his hotel after a long plane ride he almost dropped dead when he heard the synchronized voices in the distance.

At first he thought it was just the heat, but when he stopped to listen he clearly heard singing, and not just any singing, beautifully high pitched chipmunk singing. Ian turned this way and that, looking for any trace of these creatures, when he made his way up the street he saw three little chipmunks on the sidewalk singing their little lunges out. He almost cried with joy, he stationed himself on a nearby bench and waited for the trio to finish their song, clearly an original and it was of course, perfect.

Once they were done he walked up to them and said, 'Hey you guys, I'd like to introduce myself my names Ian.' Then one in the middle said rudely, 'Ugh, excuse me buster but were not guys, clearly we are girls, but not just any girls we are the chipettes. My names Brittany, and this is my older sister Jeanette and this is my younger sister Eleanor.' He was by this time hyperventilating. He had to be dreaming, these 'girls' were the exact counterparts of his foes, he couldn't believe it. 'Well little ladies, I happen to be a record producer and I thought that little number there was one of the best things I have ever heard in my life, and I wanted to know if you guys already were signed?' He finished kneeling on the ground to be able to get a better look, he was in fact mistaken, and they were clearly girls.

The one who introduced herself as Brittany was wearing a little pink skirt and a pink shirt with a yellow chocker and light blue tights, Alvin's perfect double. The oldest, Jeanette was in a blue skirt and a purple turtle neck, was a little taller than the others, and had glasses on, clearly for Simon. And the youngest Eleanor was in a green skirt with a blouse and tie, and a little chubbier than the other two, Theodore would love this one.

'Um, not to seem rude but what do you mean, are we signed?' Eleanor questioned.

'Have you three ever had a record deal? Made music? Because you guys are clearly awesome!' Ian gushed.

'Well duh, we already knew that, so how do we get this record deal? We don't have any money so if we need that, count us out buddy.' Brittany said confidently.

'Oh trust me, with your talent, you guys will be at the top in no time, and I've got everything paid for, so what do you say? Do you three want to come to America with me?' Ian pleaded. This is sure to get back at them, once I introduce The Chipettes as the next big thing, Alvin and the chipmunks will be history, he thought to himself.

'Give us a minute, okay?' Jeanette said.

The three walked a couple of feet away to discuss this. 'Well I don't know about this you guys,' Jeanette began, 'it doesn't seem right that we get offered a record deal just like that, he only heard us sing one song.' 'What does it matter, Jean! He wants to make us famous! I'm going to tell him were in right now!' Brittany said with power gleaming in her blue eyes. 'But Brittany we really should consider everything first…' Eleanor suggested grabbing her arm to stop her from walking away. 'Consider what? We have no family, no money, no home, just this morning we were singing on the side of the road for money! This is the break I… I mean, we've, been waiting for!' Brittany explained, growing more and more anxious. 'Well I guess we have nothing to loose then, who knows we might even have some fun.' Jeanette agreed. 'Okay, we can do this as long as you guys promise me that if things get bad, or we get separated, we're out. End of story. Good bye. Okay?' Eleanor said. 'Deal!' They all said together, and made their way back to Ian.

'Okay, Ian, was it? We accept your offer to go to America with you to become famous. We would be famous, right?' Brittany asked him. 'Oh you guys will be so famous you wont know what to do about it, I will have you guys playing concerts, eating first class, and on every billboard in Las Angeles, and soon around the world.' He said, then he motioned for them to jump into his suit case, and he went to his hotel after he booked the next flight to L.A. for tomorrow morning.

Once they were in their room, (Ian gave them a separate room and took a suit for himself) the girls stayed up most of the night talking about how lucky they were. Eleanor couldn't wait to experience to culture and food. Jeanette couldn't wait to have a great new house for her and her sisters and to see her face in lights wouldn't hurt either. And Brittany couldn't wait for all the attention, the autographs, the paparazzi, and the boys. Life seemed to be good.

They got a couple hours of sleep before they were greeted by Ian saying it was time to leave for L.A. They were so excited they got ready relatively fast; even Brittany, who took only 45 minutes in the bathroom. Soon they were all boarded on the plane to start out their new life of fame and fortune, and they had no idea what to expect, and especially no idea that this decision was one of the best and worst things they could have possibly agreed to do.

***

Once they were in America, Ian brought them to none other than Jet Records, and demanded for his old job back, with benefits, because he had what was sure to be the next big thing. They were so reluctant to give it to him he was almost thrown out the door to the building before he showed them the chipettes. They seemed to have been ready for the attention and started belting out a song. It sounded great. Then the girls had to wait in a waiting room for a while, then Ian soon rejoined them to let them know he got his job back and that the plan was now in action. Wow this guy is way to happy all the time, and what's with that tacky outfit? Did someone forget to tell him the sixties are over? Brittany thought to herself.

That night the girls were shown their new home, it had everything you could ever dream a teenage girl would want, and even more if you were a chipmunk girl. They soon found loads of things to do, there was a 24/7 buffet that Eleanor jumped to, a library with practically every book you could ever dream of for Jeanette, and Brittany found the spa, and well lets just say they were all very glad they chose to go through with this. Ian came in late to tell them that he had got them a record studio booked for the next month for them to record the pre-written songs he had from his last gig. 'Well you see girls, I managed this old group, Alvin and the chipmunks, their nobody's don't worry, have you ever heard of them?' When they said yes, but not very well, he continued to tell them a variation of what happened. He left out that he was horrible to them and didn't let them sleep or even speak their minds after a while, just that it didn't work out. 'So tomorrow, bright and early you guys are going to sing some great songs for your new CD! And soon we will all be rich!' And I will have gotten back at the chipmunks for what they did to me last year when these girls outshine you, and your nothing more than has-beens, he thought to himself as he left.

Once the girls were alone again they decided to do some research on their new laptop about these other chipmunks.

They soon found out that Alvin and the chipmunks were insanely popular and all accept Brittany (because she would never admit it, she was way too proud to show any weakness) was afraid that they were already to big to even stand a chance against them or to even come close to their stardom.

One thing was for sure, they knew Ian wasn't serious about them being 'has-beens' because at the moment they seemed bigger than the Beatles. Also, for the time being the chipettes all trusted Ian, why would they have any reason not too? He had provided them with everything, a home, a career, and safety. But something had to be up with why he was so bitter about these chipmunks.

After the research on the band was over, Eleanor and Jeanette made their way to bed, but Brittany stayed there looking up more and more about them, once she knew all about them she made a few notes to herself. One; she had to find a way to come out on top, she was sure they were better, I mean come on, we're the chipettes! And two: secretly, and she would never admit it to anyone, but she though the lead of the band, Alvin was really cute, and wondered if her and her sisters would ever meet them. Wait a minute, did she just think that? She must be too tired to think straight, Brittany did not get jealous; she was the star how could she think about meeting the chipmunks to be a big deal? They would be the lucky ones if they every got to meet them! Once there was nothing more to learn, and she was sure she had to get some sleep to start thinking straight again she too made her way to bed. This is going to be great, I always knew I was going to be famous one day, she thought to herself before going to bed. That night her and her sisters slept better than they had ever slept before, and had great dreams about fame and fortune and how lucky they were. But one thing was weird about all three of their dreams, each girl was greeted by their chipmunk counterpart, and they didn't seem to mind it.

A/N: Well there you have it, I hope you all enjoyed it and I hope you all review! Do you think it was okay how Ian approached them about the whole record deal, and were they all in character when they answered, I hope so? I sort of have an idea for the next chapter, so it should be up soon, but first I need some reviews to keep me going! Even if it's just saying hello… What can I say, I've always been a Brittany, I enjoy the attention, so review and you guys get closer to the next chapter! Thanks again for reading; I hope it was worth your time! PLEASE REVIEW!

P.S. The next one is going to be after a couple months of school has went by, and with enough time for the chipettes to have finished their CD and the press to have gotten hold of the news… Oh what will happen!? :D
