Thanks, guys. You're support,... I love it. I honestly have Hilsy's permission. You could even go ahead and ask her. Oh, and Chipmunkfan1001 and cheekychipmonkey = Thanks, that meant a lot. But you should try reading the first chapter which is in Hilsy's story.
It was nearly dusk, late afternoon around 5:00pm and with a madman in weak chains inside the house, hours and moments weren't as peaceful as it used to be. Aaron - the chipmunks' father, or what he used to be. Everyone, on their spare time and privacy would huddle up in a circle in Dave's room to formulate a scheme that would acknowledge the quick disappearance of the chipmunks' biological father and the retrieval of their battered mother.
This time was one of those times. Dave had the two guests occupied while the chipmunks and the chipettes gathered and regrouped inside Dave's room in privacy, doing as simple as making a plan. But making a plan to get rid of a hard bastard who had done more than five crimes in a week during their past.
Feeling safe and secured from the eyes and ears of their biological father, Simon spoke up first.
"So, any bright ideas?" Simon looked around the circle they were huddled up in, but unluckily, everyone shook their heads in disagreement.
"Why don't we just let Stanley tear his guts out? The big guy's up here for a reason, and I don't think it's for a mere visit." Suggested Alvin as he placed his paws inside the pockets of his sweater.
"We can't. I don't think we can talk him to it. Birds of prey are called birds of prey for a reason. They don't attack anyone unless being attacked first, or unless they see the creature as a possible prey." Simon stated in a matter of fact.
"Or, we could just ask him to leave. He doesn't own this territory, anyways." Theodore suggested a simple one.
"Then he'll leave with mum. We're trying to get rid of Aaron, and save her." Simon, again, stated in his matter-of-fact tone.
"Well, it's not like YOU have any better idea, smart guy." Challenged Alvin, pointing teasingly at his blue sweatered brother.
"I don't, to be honest. It's not like we could take him at once. Dave barely managed to contain him when they fought off." Simon replied.
Alvin sighed like a cough as he old his eyes and hopelessly laid down directly on his back "Well, any more ideas?"
"I don't know, not now at least." He answered "Girls?" He called out to the chipettes on the other side of Dave's bed.
"No clue, Simon." Answered Jeanette as she shook her head in negation.
Simon sighed disappointingly as he turned back to his brothers. If there was no plan, violence had to be the last resort. But before that, the girls' security should be double checked, especially Eleanor "If we can't do anything for the moment, then we're going to have to keep the girls away from Aaron." He suggested as he turned to his little brother "And Theodore, you know what to do." He told him. Just because there's a killer inside their house, it doesn't mean they could be deprived of surprise and happiness.
"Right. But until then, we have to keep the girls away from him as possible. Who knows when he'll strike, or what he's capable of, especially to girls." He told them informatically before turning back to his little brother "And Theodore, you'll have to act as if Eleanor's been claimed whenever he's around." He instructed.
Theodore nodded in agreement and turned to look at Eleanor, talking with her sisters on the other side of the bed. Seeing her smile, he knew that he didn't want anyone to ruin it.
"Alright." Theodore fully agreed.

Dave's point of view...
The others were in my room starting a scheme to get rid of this bastard standing at the other side of the couch. I told Alvin I'd keep them occupied while they get busy with the plans, so I sat here, talking to them about random things that would keep their minds off of things.
"So, Dave." That voice called out to me. Ever since I've heard that, there's something about it which I never liked. A rough voice which tells he'd been growling too much ever since he stepped foot into this world. I raised an eyebrow and faced the owner of that dreadful tone "How'd you and my sons meet each other?" He asked me.
'It's not like you even care.' I thought to myself "They sneaked into my house, Alvin nearly killed me with a jar of popcorns." I told them half jokingly.
That Aaron gave a boisterous chuckle "As I've thought. Those three could be real troublemakers when left alone."
'You left them alone and they became troublemakers, you ignorant ass.' I thought rebelliously.
"Well, it's a good thing you raised them into fine gentlemen. I have to say, the girls are very lucky to have such caring mates, and for Eleanor to be courted by sweet, little Theodore." Vinny smiled as she told me, but her smile didn't last long.
I knew what she said was the complete opposite of her unfortunate mateship experience. She looked down and stared at her fingers, her smile melting quickly. I felt sorry for her, all those 15 years of torture and torment by her own mate. It was unjust, unloving, unforgivable. I don't have a girl... at least I have Claire, but I can tell Aaron has no sense on how to treat a lady.
"I raised them as my own. They told me that you were hippies and left early to join a commune." I chuckled at the irony. I mean, a hippy? A guy wishing for peace but beats his own mate, not to mention his own sons.
But seeing them not smiling, just looked at me as if I said something, it felt a bit awkward, so I stopped.
It took another moment of silence before Vinny spoke up again "Speaking of the boys, where are they anyways? And their mates?" She asked.
I'm glad I had Alvin's genes. That little bugger gave me his quick thinking reflexes "Uh, they're in the room. A little bonding time with the girls." I answered.
"Oh, so we better not ruin their mood then." Aaron said innocently. Plastic innocence!
'It's not like you even care about them. Harm them once, I WILL get you.' I thought angrily.

Thursday...
It's afternoon 3:00AM, just six more days before the full moon. Theodore have been courting Eleanor more and more passionately, showering a green clad chipette with love and respect. For Theodore, this struck two birds in one stone. He had the chance to show more love towards Eleanor, and at the same time, giving Aaron the word that she was already Theodore's mate.
They were outside the house, leaning against the big oak tree Dave used for his training. There, a nuzzling session was on-going between them. Theodore had his arms around her all the time, it never left ever since Aaron came up. Love struck rains of arrows upon them as they engulfed each other's face with several nuzzles.
"Theodore, why'd you become a more sweeter all of the sudden?" Eleanor asked her curiously. It's not like she's annoyed, no. She loves being occupied by him, giving him love all the way every minute, but she just turned curious.
''I just want to show you that I really love you. And to show Aaron that you're mine." Answered Theodore.
Eleanor couldn't help but bury her cheeks on his shoulder before giving out a contented sigh "I know that you love me. Aaron has to know that I'm always for you." She assured.
They held each other in that position, sticking to each other like a love velcro, not letting go any soon. It was only unexpected for them to feel a presence of someone watching them. It wasn't in a harmful way, but as they looked up, they saw the gorgeous bald eagle standing on a branch of the tree they were under, smiling upon them.
"Hey, Stanley." Greeted Eleanor as he saw the eagle's figure.
"What's up, big guy? You could have at least told us you were here." Theodore greeted with a smile.
The bald eagle screeched and flapped his wings as he looked down upon them with a thought 'Young love. One of the best gifts Love has to offer. Don't worry, my friend, I'll make sure you don't get ripped apart. You will have her as a mate in peace.' Stanley thought.
And like a prophet in shape of a bird, he flapped his wings down, lifted himself off the ground as he flew off, giving the couple their privacy.
The green clad couple watched as their friend flew and traced circles in the sky, screeching and eagle screech. "We taught him well. He's flying like the clouds, he's really happy." Theodore muttered.
''He only comes at the most unfortunate situation. I don't think this is an exception. He must've came here for Aaron, don't you think?" Eleanor tagged him.
"I hope so. Otherwise, we'll have to take on him by ourselves." Theodore answered.

Dave's POV
I can say that Aaron's looking for a new territory. But what I fear the most is, he's getting comfortable in my house, and it's only a matter of time before he takes us down and claim it as his own.
Flashback-
I went inside the kitchen for a glass of water. I was getting a bit thirsty, if you don't ask. As I stepped foot inside the dining room, I was greeted by an unexpected chipmunk, who I thought was in the living room with his mate -Aaron!
I could say that he was looking around, admiring the structure. He gazed upon the ceilings, turning around 360 degrees over and over again as if his mind dozed off leaving him in an insane state.
"Ahem." I cleared my throat.
He snapped and flick his tail in response as he turned his back and met my sight. He gave me a smile, in which, I didn't admire. There was something about his smile which seemed so fake.
"Hey, Dave." He greeted.
"Hey, Aaron." I greeted coldly "What are you doing here?" I asked him. He had no right to sneak in without my permission, especially because this is my territory, not his'.
"Just looking around. You have a nice home, Dave." I didn't know whether to be feeling complimented, or suspicious. Like I said, he's been looking for a new territory for weeks, and what if he's getting a bit comfortable here then claim it as his own.
I gave a mental frown "Thanks, Aaron."
I started walking past him towards the glass racks. But as soon as I walked past him, something he said made me stop.
"You're daughters are so beautiful. You must have a beautiful mate too, am I right?"
I stopped dead in my tracks as I turned around and looked at him with a frown "Like the boys, I raised them as one of my own. Please, don't even think of stepping foot in their personal space, they're taken." I assured.
With that, I left and grabbed a quick glass of water. I didn't hear from him anymore. As I looked back, he wasn't there anymore.
'I have to warn the boys. I think he's after the chipettes.' I thought to myself.
End of flashback-
So, that's the wrap. Hey, I may not be Hilsy, I may not write as good as her, but the drawing request is still up and runnin'.
P.S. If there's something that you don't like, PM me so I may rewrite and reedit the chapter.
