CHAPTER 4

It had been two weeks since another Seville was added to the family, Dave had Brandon sign some paperwork, and now he was legally and officially a Seville. The chipmunks and chipettes were walking home from school, Dave had enrolled Brandon in their high school, his first day was tomorrow. "what do you think Brandon did all day while we were at school"? asked Alvin, "probably played video games or watched TV" suggested Simon, they all froze as they approached the Seville residence, the garage door was open, Brandon's Camaro was in the garage, and a car underneath a cover was in the driveway. "Hey guys" greeted Brandon stepping out of the garage. He had on a pair of blue jeans,the high-tops Elle had gotten him, no shirt on, the dog-tags Alvin had gotten him, the black cap Simon had gotten him, and his chest and hands were covered with grease. "Eew Brandon what is all over you!" said Brittany looking him up and down. Brandon chuckled "Well since you guys are the best family ever and got me such nice things, I decided to do a nice thing for each of you" said Brandon smiling. "Realy?" asked Brittany suddenly interested. Brandon held up his hand and gestured for them to wait there, he ran inside the garage, a few seconds later he came back with five boxes stacked in his arms, one blue, one green, one pink, one purple, and one light green. He handed everyone except Alvin a box, Alvin frowned as he looked at everyone's gift, Simon got a lab coat, Theodore got a fancy cookbook, Brittany got a fancy pink dress, Jeanette got a hardback Harry Potter book autographed by J.K. Rowling, and Eleanor got a set of fancy new paints. They all hugged him and thanked him for their gifts. Alvin looked at him ready to cry thinking that Brandon didn't care about him enough to get him a gift. Brandon noticed Alvin's face and chuckled, "I didn't forget about you, your gift had to be special because it was you that convinced Dave to take me in" said Brandon walking over to the covered vehicle in the driveway, "so without further adieu I give you your gift!" shouted Brandon as he yanked the cover off the car. Alvin's eyes went wide, under the cover that Brandon had just pulled off was Alvin's chevelle, but it didn't look like Alvin's chevelle, it looked brand new, it had a shiny new coat of bright red paint, shiny chrome wheels, new black leather seats, not a spot of rust could be found, everything on it looked new. Everyone couldn't believe their eyes. "Brandon… h-how.. did you… Alvin couldn't finish, Brandon just chuckled "I have my ways" he laughed, Alvin walked up to the car, he ran his and over the large yellow A on the center of the hood. "Are you just gonna stand there or are you gonna drive it?" laughed Brandon as he tossed Alvin the keys. Alvin got in the driver's side and was about to start it when Brandon spoke up, "you might wanna pop the hood first" said Brandon smiling, Alvin pulled the lever releasing the hood, he walked to the front of the car, lifted up the hood and froze when he saw what lied underneath. "Brandon how much power does this have" asked Alvin still not believing what he was seeing. "oh about 450" chuckled Brandon, "well come on lets go!" shouted Brandon throwing on a black t-shirt, and grabbing his car keys. Alvin got in his car and started the engine, Brittany climbed in the passenger side and smiled at him. "You guys coming" asked Alvin seeing the others reluctance to get in the car. "No you guys go we've got homework" said Simon taking Jeanette's hand and leading her inside followed by Theo and Elle. "suite yourself" Alvin mumbled to himself. He put the car in gear and drove out of the driveway out onto the road followed by Brandon's car. They decided to go for some ice cream. Once at the ice cream shop they all sat on the hood of Alvin's car and ate their treat. They were chatting amongst themselves when something caught Brandon's eye, or rather someone. He stared at her beauty, she was the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on, he was still shy of talking to her even though she was at their house hanging out all the time. Alvin noticed Brandon staring at Katie. He tapped Brittany and pointed at Brandon, who was still staring at Katie, who was busy texting on her phone. "Why don't you go talk to her" said Alvin breaking Brandon's trance. "Yeah we know you like her" laughed Brittany, Brandon tugged on the collar of his shirt, Brittany chuckled at his nervousness. "And we know she likes you too" chuckled Brittany, "hmmm" said Brandon, slightly interested, "I said she likes you too" laughed Brittany, "She's just really shy" commented Alvin, still finishing his ice cream. "I don't know" sighed Brandon, looking down. "Just go" said Alvin pushing Brandon towards Katie. Brandon stumbled towards her, until he was right in front of her, she looked up from her phone and froze when she saw him standing in front of her. "Uummm h-hi.. Katie" said Brandon obviously nervous, "H-hi" replied Katie blushing, "Hey can I ask you something?" asked Brandon, "Sure" replied Katie, hoping it was the question she had on her mind. He sat down on the bench with her and stared into her emerald green eyes, "K-katie, d-do.. you.. believe in love at first sight?", asked Brandon nervous about what she would say, she chuckled a little at his nervousness, "That depends" chuckled Katie, "on what" asked Brandon confused. "Who did you catch sight of?" asked Katie smiling at him. Brandon smiled, he knew she was onto him, so instead of answering, he leaned in and placed his lips onto hers. Her eyes went wide, but soon relaxed and closed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Alvin and Brittany both sat on his car wide eyed. "My work here is done" chuckled Alvin, Brandon and Katie broke away and stared into eachothers eyes. "Yeah I do believe in love at first sight" chuckled Katie, as she leaned in and kissed him again.
