Chapter two! Woot! First things first I want to describe their outfits. Since they aren't nine anymore, they need a minor wardrobe change. Ok, so they will still wear their same colors. Alvin still has his big "A" and cap, although he wears his cap with it turned to the left. All three boys are wearing normal length, long-sleeved shirts and jeans. Alvin's are faded black, Theodore's light blue and Simon's are regular shaded blue jeans and their shoes are still the same. So, with that fixed, please read on and review!
The three brothers finished packing within a few days. Dave had gotten the plane tickets in the mail as soon as he replied with a confirmation that they were going. Along with the tickets was information on where they were staying and he was well aware that all was paid for.
"I can't believe we're really going," Theodore said as he sat on his bed. Alvin nodded in agreement.
"Me either. It's gonna be awesome!" he exclaimed, thoroughly excited. Simon smiled at his brothers and sat beside Theodore on his bed.
"I've always wanted to go to Europe. It's one of the places we didn't go to when we were racing the girls around the world."
"Speaking of the girls, did anyone tell them we were going?" Alvin asked. Simon and Theodore both shook their heads no. Alvin smirked. "I'll tell'em." He grabbed the phone and dialed the number to the Chipettes' house and put it on speaker.
After three rings, Brittany answered.
"Miller Residence, Brittany speaking."
"Hey Britt, its Alvin," Alvin said with a smile.
The attitude entered Brittany's voice. "What do you want Alvin? I was doing my hair."
"I just wanted to let you guys know that my brothers and I are going to be gone for a while," he said.
"Where are you guys going?" she asked.
"We're going on a European tour tomorrow," he answered.
"What?" she shrieked in a high pitched voice. "Why you guys and not us? How about we come with you?"
"Sorry Britt, I gotta finish packing. Bye," he hung up on her and laughed.
"That wasn't very nice, Alvin," Theodore said softly.
"Sure it was. I was just letting her know. No harm there," Alvin said. Theodore and Simon shook their heads and went to double check the stuff they'd packed.
The next day all three boys and Dave put their stuff into the trunk of the car and drove to the airport. After a bit of silence, Dave spoke up. "I want all of you to behave while we're on the plane. It's going to be a long flight and we want it to go smoothly, right?"
"Yes Dave," they chorused. Simon and Theodore looked at Alvin.
"What?" Alvin asked, looking at both his brothers. "I'm not gonna do anything!" Simon arched an eyebrow. "Honest!" he said and held up his hands.
Aboard the plane, the Sevilles sat in their seats. Alvin and Simon sat in front of Dave and Theodore. Alvin stood in his seat and looked back at Dave and Theodore. "This is gonna be awesome!"
"Alvin," Dave said in a warning tone. "Sit down and put your seatbelt on." Alvin did an about face and dropped down beside Simon and put his seatbelt on. He looked over at his bespectacled brother and frowned when he saw he was reading.
Alvin snatched the book from his brother and held it out of reach. Simon glared at his older brother. "Alvin, if I am going to have to sit next to you this whole flight, you need to leave me alone."
Alvin feigned a hurt look. "I'm hurt, Simon." Simon rolled his eyes and snatched his book back.
"Good, maybe you'll learn from this pain," he said sharply. Alvin scowled at his brother and glared out his window.
Alvin stared, bored, out of his window. Simon was still reading. Dave was reading some information on their schedules, and Theodore was eating and watching a movie on Dave's laptop.
Alvin shifted his gaze from the never-ending blue that was the sky and looked up in time to see a flight attendant disappear behind a curtain. His curiosity piqued and he grinned inwardly. He unbuckled his seatbelt and stood. Simon looked at him. "Bathroom," he said and left and headed down the same area the flight attendant had gone.
There was another section of passengers and he casually walked down that isle and through another curtain.
"Whoa…" Alvin whispered as he looked out the large windows from the pilot's point of view. He was very aware that the pilot sat right in front of him and made sure not to disturb him. He looked at all the buttons and gadgets that layered the front of the plane.
He looked at a button to his right and asked aloud, "What's this button do?" The pilot jumped and looked back at Alvin.
"Hey kid, what are you doing up here? You need to go and sit back down," he snapped firmly. Alvin grinned as he looked at the button.
"I'll go when you tell me what the button does," he negotiated. The pilot sighed.
"It's the intercom button. Now please go and sit back down," he said. Alvin full out grinned and punched the button, causing a loud high pitched beep to ring throughout the plane before his voice cut it off.
"Hey everybody," Alvin shouted. Dave and Simon both looked up in surprise. "My name's Alvin and I'll be your musical entertainment during this flight."
"Simon," Dave groaned. "Please go get your brother." Simon slammed his book shut and growled as he got up from his seat, walking towards where he knew Alvin was.
Alvin was busy vocalizing over the intercom when he was roughly grabbed by his shirt and yanked out of the small room. He pulled himself from the grip and whirled around, facing Simon. He was about to snap at his younger brother, but the look in gray eyes stopped him short.
"Let's go before we're kicked off at the next landing, shall we?" Simon asked in a neutral tone that sent shivers down the shorter chipmunk's spine. Choosing not to reply, Alvin simply followed his brother.
Back in their isle, Alvin took his seat by the window and Simon sat next to him. Alvin resumed his boring choice of staring out the window once more.
"Excuse me," an old woman in the isle next to them grabbed both the older brothers' attention. Simon and Alvin both looked at her. "Are you Alvin?" she asked the red clad chipmunk. He nodded. "You have a beautiful voice. The entertainment was nice while it lasted." Alvin had the grace to blush at the praise and he smiled.
"Thanks," he said gently. She nodded and went back to her knitting. Alvin looked back out the window, well aware that Simon had been trying to meet his eyes. He deliberately acted like he hadn't noticed and stared out the window. The sun was starting to set, maybe watching the sky would be interesting now.
All of the passengers were sound asleep, aside from the bespectacled chipmunk, who was on his laptop doing some research on Europe. So far what he's learned only deepened his excitement and he was glad Alvin had opened the letter.
Speaking of his older brother, Simon looked at him as he slept, resting against the window. He had remained quiet the last four hours, uncharacteristically so. He knew it was probably because of the way he had spoken to him earlier. It wasn't a mystery why Alvin had chosen to leave him alone. He hadn't approached the situation like he normally would.
Logging off his laptop and shutting it down, he closed it and put it into its case and put it into the compartment above their heads. "Simon?"
Simon settled back down and looked at Alvin, who rubbed his eyes and looked at him. Simon smiled.
"I'm sorry, Simon," Alvin said softly, as though afraid any possible passengers that may be awake would hear the apology. Simon blinked in confusion and then smiled a bit.
"Don't worry about it Alvin. I'm sorry for being harsh earlier," Simon said as he pulled a blanket up and onto his and Alvin's laps. He arranged a pillow against their conjoined armrest. "Just get some sleep."
Alvin smiled and watched Simon easily curl up in the seat and rest his head against the pillow. He copied his brother and did the same thing, closing his eyes and letting out a long breath.
They were both soon fast asleep.
That's chapter two. Don't worry, as more happens the chapters will be longer in length. Review please! Chapter threeis currently in process of being written. Review!
