Ok! Here it is! Chapter 3. So sorry for the delay, had a bunch of unexpected things happen/travel come up. Hopefully, you won't have to wait so long for the next Chapter!
So, thank you for the reviews! I read each and every one and take it seriously. I might not be able to take all your suggestions all the time, but RossLynchLUVR here is a little SimonxJeanette for you (hope you like it)! (and thanks for being the first reviewer of Chapter 2!) Thanks for your kind words everyone! :)
Brittany awoke early before the sun was even up. Blinking twice, the panic of what had happened the previous night began to set in.
Lifting her head slightly, she saw the rest of the chipmunks still asleep in the lifeboat. She looked down and noticed that Alvin's arm was wrapped around her. Looking at Alvin she also noticed that her tail was wrapped around him!
Brittany blushed and thought to her self "Alvin is really kind of cute. Though, I could never let my sisters see that I had a crush on him."
Looking around to make sure no one was looking, she cuddled into Alvin and fell asleep.
-Jeanette's Dream/POV
"Oh my gosh! What was that? The ships alarm going off? The chances of a ship sinking at sea, were, were, oh goodness what was it again?"
WHOOOOP!
"Oh my goodness, where are you Simon?"
From the first day we met, I had a crush on him. He was the first boy, er, chipmunk, that was like me. Books, statistics, it almost seemed like it was a match made in Heaven...
WHOOOOP!
"Oh no", my heart started racing "This can't be a drill! Oh where are the others?"
WHOOOOP!
"Ok, I'm Jeanette Miller, I'm the smart Chipette, I can't cry, I have to be able to react. I can do this, I'll be ok."
WHOOOOP!
"Ok, not working! Can't seem to psych myself into doing this! Where are you Dave? Oh, where are you Simon? What'd I give to hold your hand right now!"
WHOOOP!
"Oh no! I'm going to have to go on my own?"
Making my way down the dark hallway, I tried to find the assigned meeting place...but where is everyone? The room is…Empty?
"I can do this, I'm a big girl (chipmunk) [NB: is there a correct way to refer to a female chipmunk? ~FM]
WHOOO...
"What was that? Why did the alarm cut out like that? Oh no, Simon where are you?" I couldn't help the tears beginning to roll down my face.
Feeling the ship begin to tip to one side, I ran out on deck.
It was so cold and it had begun to rain. Shivering, I looked around. Nobody was in sight! There wasn't even a lifeboat as far as I could tell!
JEANETTE!
"Where was that coming from?"
JEANETTE!
I looked over the edge and saw a lifeboat with all the Chipmunks! Simon was calling my name!
"Simon! Please don't leave me!" I screamed as the lifeboat began to float off into the night...
Simon's POV
"W-why?" I mumbled have awake, it felt like someone was kicking me. Ouch! There it was again.
Lifting my head I noticed Jeanette; her face was all scrunched up and she was shaking like she was scared of something. I couldn't tell if she was cold or...
"Simon, please don't leave me" I heard her mumble
"she was calling my name? She must be having a bad dream!
I moved over until I was beside her. Removing my sweater, I placed it on top of her, patting her shoulder gently. Even though she was terrified by a nightmare, she still looked so, so, gorgeous.
"Hm? Simon?" Jeanette's eyes fluttered
I looked away and pretended I was asleep, trying not to blush
Jeanette's POV
I half woke up feeling a slight weight on my shoulders. Noticing Simon's sweater around me, I smiled. "maybe he really does like me? Or then again, maybe he's just being nice...
I looked up and noticed that the others were starting to wake up and look around in the morning light.
Eleanor was perched at the side of the lifeboat looking out at the seemingly empty ocean
"Ellie, what are you doing?" asked Jeanette
Eleanor didn't turn around, so Jeanette asked again walking across the lifeboat to her younger sister. "whatcha up to Ellie?" she asked again.
Eleanor turned around slightly and her older sister noticed her tear-stained fur.
"oh Ellie! It's going to be ok!" Jeanette said and hugged her sister. "we'll figure this out together."
"But what are we going to do about food" asked Theodore. "I'm so hungry, I feel like I'm going to starve to death!"
"Don't worry Theodore" Jeanette replied "there a many things that will get you before starvation. Dehydration, Sunstroke….
"An island" interrupted Eleanor.
"Not quite" Jeanette continued...
"Um, Jeanette?" Brittany interrupted pointing to the island slowly coming into view
"oh, never-mind then" laughed Jeanette
"Maybe we should still be worried after all" Theodore said nervously, pointing at the fast-approaching island…
The island was covered in a dense, dark fog. It didn't look as inviting as they had originally thought when they saw it at a distance. It looked very overgrown and very scary, especially with the fog cover
"Nah, we'll be fine" said Alvin "we're chipmunks, we're used to living in the wild!
"B-but what if there are other 'things' living there, like jungle monsters?" asked Theodore nervously
"C'mon Theo" Alvin replied, "No one would live there! Just look at it! And don't you start with one of your smarty comments!" he said glaring at Simon who was just about to open his mouth.
"I'm sure we'll be fine" Jeanette said placing a paw on Theodore's shoulder "Let's head for that island!"
…
Meanwhile on the far side of the island two other chipmunks were running though the jungle…
C'mon! Catch up will you? said the first one "we'll never find these ghosts or this ghost city if you don't hurry!"
"Sorry" replied the second, I can't read Grandma and Grandpa's old map running through all of this. Besides, who else would get in the way?
"That's true, there's no one else here, I hope, let's go!"
