Once again, a lot of time passed and Alvin still hasn't told Eleanor. He was determined to tell her today, seeing that they were leaving in four days. He took her outside her house and to their hammock. At the moment, they were just lying down and Alvin was pushing them with his foot.
Eleanor looked at him. "Alvin, guess what," she said.
Alvin thought about it. Then, out of nowhere, he said, "You're pregnant."
Eleanor looked surprised. "What?"
Alvin started laughing. "I'm kidding," he said. Then he got worried. "You aren't pregnant, are you?" he asked.
Eleanor shifted her eyes. "Um, no." Then she smiled. "But I did have some Better Than Sex cake."
Alvin furrowed his eye brows. "Where'd you get it?" he asked.
"I made it," Eleanor said.
"And?"
Eleanor sighed. "It sure does fit its name," she said.
Alvin frowned and said, "I can't believe I got beat out by a cake."
"Hey, I said Better Than Sex cake," Eleanor said and grabbed his hand. "I did not say Better Than Sex With Alvin cake."
Alvin raised his eye brows and smiled. "Now, I feel better."
Eleanor smiled. "Nothing can beat you out. Trust me, Jeanette and Brittany would agree...well, if they weren't dating your brothers."
"Really?"
"Yeah. When we first started dating, they told me that you were the best they had," Eleanor said.
Alvin arched an eye brow. "Really?"
Eleanor arched an eye brow at him. "Don't let that go to your head. Their opinions no longer matter. You're with me now, got it?"
Alvin smirked. "Ooh, Ellie, I like it when you get all possessive," he said.
Eleanor smiled at him. "I know you do."
Alvin rolled over on top of her, which caused the hammock to rock. He smiled down at her. She ran her fingers through his hair and rested it on the back of his neck. Just when Alvin was about to kiss her, the tour came to his mind and he stopped. "Eleanor, I can't do this anymore," he said.
Eleanor furrowed her eye brows. "What?"
"I can't keep procrastinating."
She looked slightly relieved. "Oh, ok," she said. "Well, go ahead and do whatever it is you have to do."
Alvin sighed and said, "Ellie, I'm going on tour."
Eleanor's face dropped and she just stared at him. "You're going on tour?" she asked. Alvin nodded. "When?"
Alvin chuckled and said, "Four days."
"Four days?" Alvin cringed. Eleanor closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she reopened her eyes, she looked calm. "Ok, so when did you find out about this?"
Alvin hesitated for a moment. Then he slowly said, "Two months ago."
Eleanor's eyes widened and Alvin could tell she was fuming. "You knew about this for two months and you're just now telling me? Four days before you leave?" she asked.
"Yeah, pretty much," Alvin said.
Eleanor stared at him for a moment with an angry look. Then suddenly, she pushed him off her and he fell on the ground. She got off the hammock and started walking toward back to the house. Alvin got up and ran after her. "Eleanor, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I tried, I really did," he said.
Eleanor didn't turn around. "You should've tried harder." Then she pushed the slide door open and walked in. "Brittany! Jeanette!" she called.
A short while later, they walked into the kitchen. "Yeah?" Jeanette asked.
"Did you two know they were going on tour?" Eleanor asked, pointing at Alvin.
They looked shocked. "Don't tell me he's just now telling you," Brittany said.
Eleanor slowly turned and glared at Alvin and he looked down. When she saw how upset he looked, she sighed and ran her hand through her hair. Then she grabbed his arm and said, "Come on." She started pulling him upstairs. Brittany looked at Jeanette and shook her head.
Eleanor pulled Alvin into her room and shut the door. Alvin walked over and sat on her bed and Eleanor followed him, but she didn't sit. Alvin put his head and his hands. "Listen, Ellie, I-," he started, but Eleanor stopped him.
"Please, Alvin, don't say anything about the tour," she said and he sighed. She got down on the floor in front of him. "Look at me," she said and he lifted his head. Eleanor slightly smiled and kissed him. When she pulled away, she hugged him. "It's okay. I understand why it took so long for you to tell me."
"You do?" Alvin asked, his voice muffled since it was pressed into her neck.
Eleanor laughed a bit. "Of course. You're going to be thousands of miles away and you don't want to think about that. You just want to spend as much time as possible with your girlfriend without having to think about it. You were nervous because you knew how I was going to react. Though, if you would've told me sooner, I wouldn't have gotten mad," she grabbed his face and made him look her in the eye. "Don't wait so long next time, okay?"
Alvin smiled and nodded. Then he wrapped his arms around her and pushed her back. She screamed slightly as they fell on the floor. Alvin sat up and pinned her arms over her head. "Boy, do I love this position," he said.
Eleanor smiled. "You're heavy," she said.
Alvin held her wrists in one hand and used the other to gently stroke her face. "And you're mine," he said. He started moving his hand down to her neck, then her breast, then her side, which caused her to giggle, and then he rested it on her hip. "You're perfect, you know that?"
"Alvin, Alvin, Alvin," Eleanor said, smirking. "You're not just saying this to make sure I'm still not mad at you, are you?"
Alvin shook his head and said, "No, I mean it."
Eleanor smiled. "Well, in that case, so are you in every way," she said.
"Do you mean that?" Alvin asked, pretending to cry. He brought his hand up and put it over his mouth.
Eleanor laughed at him. Then she said, "Why don't you let my hands go so I can show you how much I meant it." Alvin raised his eye brows and let her go. Eleanor brought her hands up and put them on his shoulders. Then she smirked and flipped him over.
Alvin looked shocked. "I have seriously forgotten about that," he said.
Eleanor straddled him and pinned his arms over his head. "I didn't," she said with a smile. Then she leaned down and kissed him. "I love you," she mumbled against his lips."I love you, too," Alvin mumbled against hers. She smiled and kissed him again.

Those four days flew by a whole lot quicker than Alvin and Eleanor wanted. Knowing that the boys were leaving so soon, the couples spent every waking moment with each other. They would have spent the nights with each other, too, but the parents stepped in. The night before they were leaving, every single one of them cried to each other, all of them sitting in the same room.
At the moment, they were all waiting in the airport for the chipmunk's flight. No one was talking, just loving the fact that they were still there, even if it was just for a little while. Finally, hating the silence, Alvin said, "Ladies, we are gonna see each other again."
Everyone looked at him. "Must you do that?" Eleanor asked him.
Alvin shrugged. "I'm just saying. I mean, we're making it like we're gonna be gone forever. We'll be back in six months," he said.
Simon smirked and said, "You say that you weren't also crying last night, Alvin."
Alvin shrugged again. "Yeah, I was, but it was because all of you were crying. You know how it is when you see someone else cry," he said.
Eleanor arched an eye brow at him. "So what are you trying to say? You weren't crying because you weren't going to miss me?" she asked.
Theodore raised his eye brows in amusement. "Uh-oh," he said and Jeanette smiled.
Alvin looked a bit taken aback and dumbfounded. "N-no, Ellie, th-that's not what I was saying," he stammered.
Eleanor continued to give him that look. "Then what were you saying?"
Alvin chuckled nervously and said, "Not that."
"Mm-hm," Eleanor said and looked away from him.
"Oooh," the rest of them said in union.
Alvin glared at all of them. Before anything could happen, Jeanette cut in. "Ok, guys, cut it out. Ellie knows you're going to miss her, Alvin," she said and Eleanor smiled up at Alvin. "Now, since you guys are leaving for six months, we shouldn't spend these last few minutes arguing."
"Jeanette is very right," Theodore said.
Alvin looked at him. "Shut up, Teddy." Theodore glared at him.
Suddenly, Brittany looked at Alvin and asked, "Alvin, can I talk to you for a minute?" Everyone looked at her in surprise. She looked around and shifted her eyes. "What?" she asked. Then she looked back at Alvin. "I just want to talk to him."
Alvin shifted his eyes. "Ok," he said nervously.
He and Brittany stood up and she immediately started pulling him away. Everyone looked at each other with confusion. "That was unexpected," Jeanette said.
"Yes, it was," Simon said.
Brittany dragged Alvin behind a pillar. That scared him even more than the fact that she wanted to talk to him alone. "What's going on?" he asked.
For once, Brittany wasn't looking at Alvin angrily. "I just want to get something straight," she said. Alvin nodded. "You do love my sister, right?"
"Of course I do," Alvin replied, wondering why she was asking him this.
"And you wouldn't do anything to hurt her?"
"Not intentionally." Alvin shifted his eyes. "What's with all the questions?" he asked.
Brittany stared at him in all seriousness. "Because I want to know if my sister is going to get her heart broken by a guy who used to like to fuck everything that had a pulse while he's gone on tour," she said. Alvin was shocked. "I don't have a problem with you, Alvin, but if you can't control yourself on your own and hurt my sister, your ass is mine, got it?"
Alvin nodded, a tad bit intimidated by her at the moment. "Got it," he said.
Brittany stared at him for a moment before she sighed. She placed her hand on his shoulder and he jumped slightly. "Eleanor loves you," she said. Then she rolled her eyes. "I don't know why, but she does; a lot. I'm just hoping you love her enough to remain faithful."
Alvin nodded. "Listen, Brittany, neither you nor Eleanor has anything to worry about. I love her and would never do that to her. I really have changed, believe me. She can trust me." He paused. Then he smirked and said, "You can trust me."
Brittany smiled slightly. Then she turned and walked back over to the group. Alvin blew out a breath and leaned against the pillar. "Boy, that was scary," he mumbled.
"What was?"
Alvin looked to the side and saw Eleanor smiling at him. "Talking to your sister," he said.
Eleanor nodded and looked down. "What'd you two talk about?" she said.
Alvin turned and grabbed her hands. "You and me," he said.
Eleanor raised her eye brows and asked, "What about you and me?"
"The fact that you can trust me on this six-month-long tour across the nation all alone with all the fan girls and-,"
"Ok, Alvin, I get it," Eleanor interrupted. "But I do trust you."
Alvin smiled down at her. "I'm glad," he said.
Eleanor smiled. She let go of one of his hands and ran her hand through his hair. Then she rested it on the back of his neck. She started pulling him down for a kiss and just when they were about to, a voice filled the entire airport. "Flight number 526, Japan, is now boarding. Flight number 526, Japan, is now boarding," a lady said.
They froze in place. Then Alvin rested his forehead on Eleanor's and sighed. "That's my flight," he said.
Eleanor nodded. "Yeah, I know," she said. Then she dropped her hand and backed up. "You better go get in line."
Alvin nodded and they walked back over to everyone else to get his bags. After the boys and Dave had all their bags, everyone made their way to the line, the girls practically clinging to their boyfriends. Before they officially got into the line, the boys dropped their bags and hugged their girlfriends. Alvin finally got that kiss from Eleanor. When he pulled away, he said, "You don't know how much I'm going to miss you."
Eleanor smiled very slightly and nodded. "I think I do," she said. Then she held out Alvin's passport. "You better get in there and get a good seat before some old lady takes it." Alvin chuckled and took it from her. Then he picked up his bags. Eleanor stood on her tip-toes and kissed one last time. Then she said, "Try to have fun Japan without me."
"Just not too much fun?" Alvin asked, one eye brow arched.
"Exactly." Eleanor smiled.
Alvin smiled. "I'll call you when we land," he said.
Eleanor nodded. Then she pushed him toward the line. "I love you," she said.
Alvin turned and smiled at her again. "I love you, too," he said. Just then, Simon, Theodore, and Dave joined him in line. Brittany and Jeanette stood beside Eleanor and watched their boyfriends hand the stewardess their tickets and get on the plane. They stayed until the plane took off. Then they went to Brittany's car and went home, all of them anticipating those calls from their boyfriends.

So…how was it? Did you enjoy it? Let me know. This time, I won't be so demanding about the reviews. That doesn't mean you should stop reviewing, though. I still want them.
