Drabble four is inspired by a prompt I stumbled across on Pinterest. I immediately pictured this scenario and I absolutely HAD to write it down! So here you guys go!

Enjoy!

"Daddy!"

"Papa!"

"Daddy!"

"Papa!"

"Wake up!"

Alvin jolted into an upright position, the two unfamiliar voices startling him awake. The first thing he noticed was darkness surrounding him, and that he was essentially floating in it. The second thing he processed was a warm feeling in the blackness, which was an unnerving contrast to his surroundings.

Getting to his feet, Alvin looked around for the voices that had called for him. He turned in a complete circle and when he looked ahead once more, there were two other chipmunks in front of him. They looked to be eight or nine. The boy stood to Alvin's left, and the girl was to Alvin's right.

The boy looked almost exactly like him, except he had freckles on his cheeks. He even had on a red shirt with a yellow 'A' on the center, and he wore a cap on his head. Alvin blanched, his throat locking up so he couldn't speak. Taking in every detail of the young boy, Alvin refused to think on just who this child belonged to and turned to the young girl.

The first thing that his eyes focused on were the mirror sapphire ones staring back at him. The young boy's eyes weren't as blue as his had been. But this girl's eyes were completely Alvin's, all the way down to the shape and eyelashes, though hers were dramatically longer than his own. She had medium brown hair that was both curly and wavy that rested just past her shoulders. It almost looked like Alvin's mother's hair color. She wore a red-violet dress with white leggings and matching shoes.

"Who...who are you guys?" Alvin choked out finally. He kept glancing at both children, taking in as many details as he could. They both looked alike, yet completely different.

"Ah, ah, ah!" the young girl chided, wagging her finger and grinning at him with his own smirk on her pretty features. "We can't tell you that, Daddy."

Alvin's vision clouded over momentarily and he swayed where he stood, hearing himself being addressed as such leaving him breathless.

"She's right," the young boy agreed. Alvin looked over at his mini-me, struggling to understand what was going on. "We're just here because, you have to choose."

"Choose? Choose what?" Alvin wondered, scratching the back of his neck as he looked at the children. As soon as he asked, two separate doors appeared some feet behind each child. Alvin blinked. "What's going on?"

"Papa," the young boy called softly. Alvin looked at him. "You have to choose which door."

The girl shifted her feet and Alvin looked over at her. "Which door will you go through? If you go through the one behind me..."

"Or the one behind me..."

Alvin looked at both children, and then at the doors behind them.

"Then whichever door you choose, you'll be picking which future you want. Which child you want to have."

Alvin blinked rapidly, his heart speeding up. "What? But, I don't understand! Who are you guys?"

"We're not here to give you that information, Daddy. We're just here so you can choose."

Choose...Alvin looked back at the doors. He was supposed to choose without anymore information? He glanced back at the children, only to find them gone. Alvin let out a breath and took a step towards the-

...AATC...

"-right, Brittany."

"Don't give me that sarcasm, Simon! It was an accident!"

Alvin winced as he came to, his head aching. "Do you have to shout?" It was quiet and Alvin struggled to open his eyes. "Man, what hit me? A truck?" He brought a hand to his head and forced his eyes open.

"Actually, Brittany-" Simon proceeded to explain what had happened as Alvin's eyes came into focus.

Hovering over him were both Brittany-to his left- and Simon-to his right-but instead of his brother and female counterpart, Alvin saw the young boy in Brittany's spot, and the young girl in Simon's. What?! Alvin gasped as he sat upright, making his head spin.

Brittany and Simon questioned him and fussed over him but their words and actions fell on deaf ears and a numb body, Alvin in a state of shock. He knew what he dreamed-it did not feel like a dream despite everything-had been real. And now he knew...

He had made his decision just before he woke up. He had chosen the future with...

Alvin's eyes locked onto gray ones and, for the first time, they took his breath away...
