Chapter 4: The Night Is Young

2004 – BACK IN THE CLUB

"Another round, Simon...?" The blond bartender asked as he picks up the empty wine bottle off the table, which the chipmunks decided to sit at. Regardless of his youthful features, the bartender's eyes appear ancient.

"Yes, Jeff. Thank you." Simon answered smiling up at the undead human. "How are Mary and the others?"

"They are doing well. In fact, they wouldn't mind joining you later on if you don't mind." Jeff asked.

"No, it should be fine to see them again." Simon said.

Brittany eyed the human suspiciously; she even gave him a snobbish glare as he forced a politely smile at her. As Jeff walked back to the bar, Brittany quickly turns to Simon.

"I am shocked you would even still talk to this clan of Vampires!" She hissed at him. "Considering they almost destroyed the four us 400 years ago."

"That was a long time ago, and emends have been made." Simon explained calmly.

"Not with me, they haven't." Brittany growled.

"That'll be enough, Brittany." Simon ordered with a monotone expression. He is trying hard not let her constant complaining affect him. "This clan has been so kind to offer their business establishment and close it off to the public so that we can have this meeting. Therefore, please, I strongly advise you to show a little more respect to them. If only this one evening anyway."

"You know, Brittany does have a point Simon." Jeanette piped up.

"Thank you, Jeanette." Brittany smiled. She admired her Vampiress Sister agreeing with her.

"Not you too," Simon said in shocked. He couldn't believe that his beloved Jeanette would betray him like this.

"Hey, I too have issues with these Vampires." Alvin stepped up into the conversation. "How do we know that they won't try tying us up in some field to allow the morning sun to burn our flesh again?" He asked with a little nervousness in his voice.

"They won't." Simon assures them. "Trust me."

"Here you go Simon…and company." Jeff said putting down another bottle, and giving the rest of the chipmunks at the table an evil grin, knowing that would intimidate them.

"Thank you, Jeff." Simon said, not taking notice of the expression he gave the other chipmunks. Instead, the chipmunk vampire lifts the bottle and refilling everyone's glass, including his.

The human Vampire chuckled inwardly as he walks away from the table. Yes, it was 400 years ago when his clan ran into the Chipmunk Vampires. Yes, there were issues back then, but that shouldn't get in the way with them having their special meeting tonight. There would be other nights to finish off what had begun all those centuries ago.

Jeanette turned to see Jeff head back to the back of the bar and disappear behind the curtain. She hadn't felt so uneasy about anyone else since the night she had met Simon.

"Guys, come on." Simon pleaded with the others. He grew concerned that they wouldn't let go of something that happened almost half a century ago. "I assure you that nothing will go wrong tonight."

"Famous last words," muttered Alvin.

"Look, I have made precautions, just in case." Simon said.

"You have?" Jeanette asked.

"Yes, so you three shouldn't have to worry about a thing. Now, shall we have a toast to us for surviving this long?" Simon cocked a smile as he held up his glass in front of him.

"Guess your right." Alvin agrees bringing his glass up then taking a sip. Something catches the corner of his eye, and he turns to see at the end of the bar, a stage. A smile forms on his face as a thought enters his mind.

"Say, isn't this supposed to be a party? The night is young after all!" He cries out as he stands up to head for the Karaoke machine near the stage.

Alvin starts the music as Brittany hops on the stage with him. The both of them grin at each other before starting the song.

Baby get ready - I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
I want you - nothing you can do,
I'm a vampire!
Watch me do my dance for you,
I want you - nothing you can do,
baby get ready - I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!

Simon puts down his glass and looks over to Jeanette with a smirk.

"What?" Jeanette said, eyeing her immortal love suspiciously.

"Would my lady like to dance?" He asked taking her hand romantically.

Come to my world, child of the night,
come out of your darkness and into my light,
looking for you all of your life,
don't be afraid - it'll be all right...

Simon and Jeanette get up off their seats and start to dance along with the song Alvin and Brittany are singing. Whether it is the eerie beat of the song, or the way these two move in their step, but it appears that they are floating in the air. Their eyes locked as if they are reading each other's soul.

God grant you serenity,
you bring out the best in me,
let my love take you higher,
guess what... I'm a vampire!

The more the immortal lovers danced, the closer they got to each other. It brought memories of their first encounter with each other.

Baby get ready - I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
I want you - nothing you can do,
I'm a vampire!
Watch me do my dance for you,
if want you - nothing you can do,
baby get ready - I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
