Chapter 4
Dave, Vinny and the Chipmunks were walking in a snowy path to head to the nearby city needs to be in to receive his paycheck, he wonders how much it would be or what deals he can make with the producer. But then they saw an animal in clothing walking the opposite direction and seemed to be look around.
Vinny recognized right away who it is, "Allison!" shouted Vinny. The creature named Allison perked her head up and saw Vinny.
"Vinny? Is that that you?" asked Allison.
"Yes, it's me!" cheered Vinny and rushed to Allison hugging each other happy and laughing that they have a chance to see each other after the weeks of the Snow Storm. Then Vinny realized Dave would not know her. "Oh Dave, this is my close friend Allison, she helped me take care of the Chipmunks"
"Please to meet you Allison" greeted Dave.
"You too Dave, I see you have taken good care of the Chipmunks, but I wonder why Vinny is doing here with you" said Allison curious.
To answer the question both Vinny and Dave told their parts in the story of where Vinny has been and what she has been doing and the plans of the future.
"I see, you have been through a lot Vinny, me and the others will miss you being around the forest and the Chipmunks too" said Allison.
"Me too Allison, but we will all visit you and the others whenever we can" said Vinny.
"That's good to hear, good luck in the city, bye!" said Allison. All of them waved their goodbyes to each other, Allison reported back toward the other animals and the 5 headed toward the city.
It took them almost a full day or so to get to the city. By the time they good there it is already getting late for them. So Dave suggested that since they are tired he will help find a hotel for the night. He found one that head rooms that can hold 5 people. It was strange for the manager to see 4 Chipmunks, but did not make a fuss about it. The hotel has a deal the 3 Chipmunks can get in free, so it saved Dave some money and only needed to spend for himself and Vinny.
They finally got to their hotel room to rest after a long journey through the forest to reach the city. The 3 Chipmunks were still a little restless, so Dave decided they can watch one movie together. They picked a good family film with a family. The 3 Chipmunks like seeing the film and daydream a little that their mother and Dave would be married to make her the official part of the family. Dave and Vinny like seeing the happy married couple and it made them all warm and fuzzy for each other. After a while they started falling asleep and Dave turned off the TV and fell asleep with the Chipmunks in one bed.
Morning came to the hotel and they cleaned up, packed up and went to the hotel lobby. They served breakfast in the lobby so they had a chance to eat a free meal. Then Dave went to the counter and checked out and they headed to the studio he works for.
They made their way to the studio and waited in the lobby. Dave went to sign up for his appointment. They waited there for a while. Finally a middle-aged man came down and set his eyes on Dave. "Dave Seville! Good to see you!" greeted the man.
"It's good to see you too Mr. Silverton" Dave greeted back.
"Yes, well good news your song has been a hit for the past few weeks, the people love it! I'm wondering if I can see the ones who sang it" asked Mr. Silverton curious.
"Well here they are" said Dave and gestured to the 3 baby Chipmunks next to them as they shyly waved to the producer.
"Really? 3 Chipmunks? Well I think it is an honor to see new talent and who is that Chipmunk in the dress?" asked Mr. Silverton.
"Oh, this is their mother Vinny, Vinny this is Mr. Silverton" said Dave greeting Vinny to his producer.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Silverton" said Vinny shaking her hand with the producer.
"You too Vinny, I'm wondering, are you like some inspiration to your boys singing ability?" asked Mr. Silverton curious.
"I think so, I usually sing to them and they sometimes sing back and I just enjoy music a lot" answered Vinny.
"I see, could you sing for me?" asked Mr. Silverton.
"Sure, why not!" answered Vinny. She cleared her throat and started singing the lullaby she usually sings to her boys. Somehow the 3 Chipmunks kept awake with Dave making sure they don't fall asleep.
"That is a wonderful voice you have there, maybe you should go under a singing contract along with your boys, we can always use more talent" suggested Mr. Silverton.
"You really think so? What do you think Dave?" asked Vinny looking at Dave.
"I don't see any reason why you can't, and I'll be the manager for all of them" said Dave.
"Great! Well come to my office, we can make out the contract right away and you can sign it and I'll give you the payment you had made for yourself the past few weeks" said Mr. Silverton excited to do this for Dave. So Dave followed him to the office.
Everyone is excited that they help Dave keep his job and continue it with their talents. Vinny was worried it would affect their lives too much, but she has hope Dave will make the right choice for all of them.
After a while Dave came back with a surprised look on his face carrying an envelope. "Dave, what is it?" asked Vinny curious.
It took some time for Dave to get back to reality, but he did and gave his attention to Vinny, "Well…I think we really hit the jackpot and I think we can move to a better home for all of us and that contract will help us!" said Dave excited.
Everyone cheered that they made the money and can move to a better home. Vinny is still going to miss being in the forest, but she is happy being with someone special to love and being with her boys. They are not sure what will happen in the future, for now it looks good.
To be continued…
Author's Notes: I came up with the idea that Dave would meet up with Vinny and I think it is a nice idea to know who Vinny's friends are like. And I bet some of you guys are guessing I am putting in some foreshadowing in the story, which is true. But I will not tell anything to spoil it for you guys, you'll have to wait until it comes. And I think it is nice to have Vinny become a contract singer, I think Vinny has a lovely voice and she is the inspiration on why the 3 Chipmunks have their excellent singing voices. Hope you guys look forward to more updates of this fanfiction!
