Asking for Help Part 3

Biggest Problem: Lack of Confidence

A few hours later,

RING RING RING

"Miller residence" Miss. Miller said into the phone. "Hold on. Jeanette!"

A few seconds later, Jeanette came running down the stairs with her hair in curlers and took the phone as Brittany followed

"Hello? Oh Hi!" Jeanette said, her face lighting up to reveal to her sisters that the person on the other line was the boy Jeanette had her sights on "Sure. Sounds great. I'll see you then"

She hung up looking stunned

"Wow. He hasn't even LOOKED at the new you and he's setting up a date" Brittany figured

"It's not a date" Jeanette said. "We're just going to hang out and discuss school tonight. But hopefully by tomorrow night I'll have a date"

"A date? Girl. By the time I get done with you, you'll not only have a date with this guy, he'll be eating out of the palm of your hand"

Back at the Seville's.

"See." Alvin said to his brother who had just gotten off the phone as he dug in the closet for something for Simon to wear tonight "That wasn't so hard"

"I honestly don't know how you do it Alvin" Simon admitted. "I felt ready to puke"

"Simon" Alvin said. "It's amazing you're a rock star with your shyness"

"Well," Simon started to explain before realizing that Alvin COULD take it the wrong way.

He was going to say that it's easy to be shy and be a rock star when you're in the shadow

However, as the Chipmunks were triplets, it only took Alvin noticing Simon's gazing at the poster to realize what Simon was saying.

In the poster, Alvin was six inches tall and Theodore and Simon were two. Alvin was standing in the middle taking up most of the poster and his brothers were hidden.

"It's not like the group's called Simon and the Chipmunks" Simon said realizing his brother was figuring it out

"Do you WANT to sing lead more?" Alvin asked recalling the Mr. Heartthrob episode

"Not really" Simon admitted being perfectly content being left alone by the fans and getting nervous at the look on Alvin's face "Alvin? What are you thinking?"

"Do you still have more of that Mr. Heartthrob potion?"

"No" Simon answered "And I don't have the recipe now that I know you just mixed chemicals unknowingly despite the numerous times I told you not to"

"Rats. I guess we're going to do this the old fashion way. Okay Simon. One of the keys to a woman's heart is confidence. By asking her out for tonight, if ONLY for a dull study date, we're one step ahead. I guess the best thing to do is to take the confidence you use in the concerts and we'll work off of that"

"I just ignore the audience and just focus on the music" Simon admitted

"Okay. Plan B." Alvin said grabbing Simon's hand as he didn't find anything
