Here it comes, the moment of truth! How will Alvin mess up and stress out Simon? Hey, I ain't telling! Find out for yourself!

Alvin had a spring in his step as he and his brothers went inside the ice cream parlor where they were to (unbeknownst to Simon) meet the Chipettes. The ding-a-ling of the bell as they entered caused the girls' heads to turn. Brittney waved at them, and Simon immediately turned pink.

"Alvin!" he whispered frantically, "You didn't tell me we were meeting them!"

"Oops!" Alvin said innocently, "Must have slipped my mind!" They walked over to the girls. Simon was trying to hide behind Alvin, but that was hard considering Simon was taller. The three chipmunks sat in the booth, each next to their female counterpart again. After a few minutes, when their sundaes arrived, Alvin said he needed to go to the bathroom. He grabbed his unsuspecting brother's hand and tugged him out of sight.

"Hey! What was that for?" Simon asked angrily, though he looked very relieved to be away from Jeanette. Alvin flashed Simon a sly smile. He lifted his red baseball cap to reveal a vial filled with hot pink potion. Simon stared blankly as Alvin took the vial in hand and placed his hat back on his head.

"I wasn't going to tell you," Alvin began, twirling the vial around like it was nothing, "but you have a right." He turned to look back at the booth where their friends were sitting. Then he turned back to his brother, the devious grin even wider.

"I'm about to grant your biggest wish." he said. Then he popped the cork off the vial as gleefully as if he were popping champagne at a wedding.

"That potion's useless if you don't have the right ingredient!" Simon said, sounding happier for having known this. Alvin just continued smiling, and plucked a hair off Simon's head.

"I think I do." Alvin replied, dropping the hair into the potion (it turned blue instantly), "You know, you should really keep those instruction files in your desk." He spun on his heel and commenced walking towards the booth.

Panic-stricken, Simon tackled his brother. Shocked, Alvin loosened his grip on the vial to help catch himself before plummeting. As he hit the ground, it flew out of his hand. It swirled in the air. The two chipmunks watched helplessly as it shot straight down and splashed…

Into Eleanor's water glass.

She shrieked, wiping the water off her face. "What was that?!" her sisters yelled. They saw her inspect the glass cautiously. She picked it up and sniffed it. Then, to their horror, she took a sip.

"Yuck!" she exclaimed, rubbing her hands on her tongue in a fretful attempt to wash the taste away, "That's disgusting!"

"Don't worry." Simon said, though he looked worried, "She only took a sip, and she didn't even like it. Chances are, one sip won't-" But he was interrupted by a perky voice. "Oh hi, Simon!" it said. Followed by it was a fit of giggles. It came nearer until it was right above them. "What're you doing on Alvin, Simon?" it asked, giggling. Terrified, the two chipmunks looked up.

It was Eleanor.

"Fast-acting, ain't it?" Alvin whispered jokingly, but Simon just shot him a look of fury.

"C'mon!" Eleanor said, hoisting Simon up. She interlocked their arms. "Sit next to me this time, okay?" she asked. She tugged him away to the booth and pushed Theodore aside as she pulled Simon in next to her. Alvin came slowly towards them and slid in next to Brittney. Eleanor was chuckling at Simon. Theodore looked surprised, and Jeanette looked positively glum. Brittney shot Alvin a look that said, "What the heck is going on here?!"

"Tell you later," he mouthed. And so they all sat there, Eleanor's giggling voice the only one heard.

I bet the majority of you reading this thought Brittney would get the potion, didn't you? That's exactly why I didn't give it to her. Too predictable. Anyway, what'll Simon do when sweet little Eleanor falls head over heels for him?! I'm thinking that one out for myself...
