Alvin and Brittany. Together, they formed the top point of the star. They were always the most popular, pretty and sophisticated.
Theodore and Eleanor. They made up the middle points of the star. Their voices were as adorable as their looks. Everybody loved seeing them together, grooving in all of their puppy-fat glory.
Simon and Jeanette. They made up the bottom points of the star. Two wonderful voices that often went without notice because they were drowned out by their elder siblings. They both were also the diplomatic triplets, and together, they supported the entire star.
Few people really appreciated Simon and Jeanette. Without them, there would be no astonishingly high harmonising and low rapping. Sometimes it felt like the only people to appreciate them were... themselves.
The Chipmunks straightened their loose ties, and the Chipettes smoothed their dresses. The music started, and the curtains began to pull back.
Alvin opened his mouth.
'I got a feeling.
'That tonight's gonna be a good night.
'That tonight's gonna be a good night.
'That tonight's gonna be a good, good night.'
Everybody else breathed in.
'I got a feeling.'
Alvin grinned to himself as he sung his favourite part.
'Oooh-ooooh.'
The entire group started singing again, up until the first verse started.
Eleanor and Theodore walked to the front, hands clasped tightly together.
'Tonight's the night.
'Let's live it up.
'I got my money.
'Let's spend it up.
'Go out and smash it.
'Likeoh my God.
'Jump off that sofa!
'Let's kick it, off!'
As quickly as possible, Simon and Jeanette swapped places with the youngest siblings. They stood back-to-back, hands clasped together.
'I know that we'll have a ball
'If we get down and go out
'And just lose it all.
'I feel stressed it, I wanna let it go
'Let's go way out, spaced out
'And losing all control!'
Without much surprise, Alvin and Brittany pushed through them, waving their arms around in a "cool manner".
Not that it really mattered. Simon held Jeanette's paw tightly, slightly panting. They'd had their moment in the light. And that was enough. For now, their older siblings could impress everybody.
The group feel back into line for the chorus, singing in perfect harmony.
After that, rapid-fire lines escaped them.
Jeanette and Alvin spared each other a glance, quickly.
'Fill up my cup,'Jeanette sung.
'Drink!'Alvin yelled.
'Mazel Tov!'The words sounded foreign on her tongue, but it sounded okay...
Brittany then rose to the occasion, miming stepping on a plate. 'Lahyme.'
Few people were able to keep track of who sang what; they were singing so quickly.
Alvin looked at Jeanette again, worried. 'And do it.'
'Do it!'
'And do it.'
'Do it!'
Brittany fanned herself. 'Let's live it up!'
Alvin and Jeanette repeated their previous lines, and Simon harmonised with them, preparing himself for his solo as Brittany sung.
Just as he was about to sing, Jeanette kissed his cheek quickly.
'Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
'Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday.
'Get, get, get, get, get with us
'You know what they say.
'Party every day
'P-P-Party every day.'
That was it, turmoil over. The group returned to their original line as the final chorus began.
Alvin sang his own chorus first, before stepping back into place beside Brittany.
With that, everybody started singing.
'I got a feeling.'
'Oooh-ooooh!'
'That tonight's gonna be a good night.
'That tonight's gonna be a good night.
'That tonight's gonna be a good, good night.'
'I'm feelin'.
'Oooh-ooooh!'
The audience jumped to their feet, cheering wildly. After a long round of thanks, the chipmunks all ran from the stage.

'I'm so proud of you, Jeanette.'
'What?'
Simon sat by his girlfriend in the limo, holding her paw.
'You're usually so shy, singing on your own. You really came out of your shell tonight.'
'Tonight was fun!' the purple Chipette gasped. 'I think that's my favourite concert we've done.'
'You certainly looked... radiant.'
'Oh! Well, t-thank you.'
'I'm so glad that I have you.'
Smiling shyly, Jeanette rested her little head on Simon's shoulder.
'And I you,' she whispered, closing her eyes.
They fell asleep like that for the rest of the ride, cuddled up, refusing to let the other go.
