Ch.4
"Countdown to Christmas"
Brittany and her sisters walked with Chelsea to meet the boys. Alana approached Chelsea when she went to her locker.
"So part of your plan to get Alvin is to pretend your friends with the Chipettes? You are so clever I hate you Chels. By Christmas Brittany that slut will be in tears because you will be the one in Alvin's arms not her. I will have my camera ready to see the tears falling from Brittany's eyes."
Chelsea glared at Alana.
"I am over Alvin, he will be my step brother in 5 months. Besides I have a new boyfriend, you can put your own plan together if you want. But keep me out of it. If you would excuse me I'm going to meet with the boys."
Chelsea approached Brittany when she put her books in her locker.
"Britt keep an eye on Alana. She is trying to come up with a plan to get Alvin to leave you for her. She was going to tell me her plan but I told her she is on her own. Anyway where are the boys? Shouldn't they have been here by now?"
Jeanette smiled.
"Here they come. Looks like Alvin got into another fight. I wonder what it was about this time. If he keeps on fighting he will get suspended."
Brittany saw Alvin and ran to him.
"Alvie what happened? You look like you got in another fight, with who this time and over what? So what's with Alana, she thinks that Chelsea is still planning to take me from you?"
Chelsea asked.
"Why would you say that? I told her I am over you because you will be my stepbrother in 5 months. Besides I have your cousin Melvin. I told her she's on her own. Just watch your back Alvin please."
He looked at her.
"Oh really let her try and watch what happens to her, you hear me Alana you will not get me off guard you fan girl."
Alana just walked off with her friends and Chelsea and the girls laughed. Then his brothers, and Melvin also laughed. Chelsea's brother Chad had to stay after school for a meeting to plan the Christmas Ball. They all headed to the mall in Simon's SUV. Brittany was looking in all the stores to figure out what to get Alvin this year for Christmas, and so were her sisters. Chelsea just held Melvin's hand as they walked through the mall. He was also trying to figure out what to buy for Chelsea for Christmas. He was still in shock having a beautiful human girl being his.
As they continued to walk Chelsea also thought about what to get for Melvin. The friends got a bite to eat in the food court and made their plans for the Christmas Ball, which the Chipmunks and Chipettes were performing at. Chelsea asked Alvin nicely.
"I know you are probably still mad at me because of what I tried to pull, but can you please give me another chance to be a backup dancer like my brother? Alvin I love to dance and really want to go on tour with you six. Please give me another chance I really am over you I swear."
Alvin looked at Brittany and she responded.
"Fine you get one more chance to become a backup dancer for us. Don't do anything stupid and make sure you are on time for the audition Saturday. Alvie and myself are the judges and choose the ones that make it. Chad will go over the dance routines with you the rest of the week."
Chelsea smiled and hugged Brittany.
"Thank you so much for giving me another chance. I am so sorry for everything I tried to pull Britt. I was an obsessed fan girl and shouldn't have tried to come between you two. You are so in love I had no right to try and mess it up. Can you ever forgive me?"
Brittany took a sip of her milkshake and looked at her.
"You are hanging out with us aren't you? I have forgiven you, we are friends now aren't we?"
Chelsea smiled.
"Yes we are friends now. I love hanging out with you guys you know how to have fun."
They finished their food and continued to walk around the mall talking amongst themselves and laughing at a joke Melvin told them all. Alvin was just relieved that Chelsea was with his cousin and not constantly bugging him. He could now come home from school or rehearsal and actually relax without worrying about Chelsea being up to something. Brittany was also relieved that Chelsea was finally over Alvin.
Simon was also trying to figure out what to get Jeanette for Christmas and also looked in all the stores. Theodore had an idea what to get Ellie but didn't want her to know. So he also was window shopping a long with everyone else. Ellie spotted something that was perfect for Theodore and just smiled texting her sister Brittany.
"I found the perfect gift for my Teddy Bear, but can't get it with Theo here. Can you take me to the mall after the audition please Britt?"
Brittany looked at her cell and responded.
"Of course Ellie, but after the audition so I can pick up my car. Ask Jean if she wants to join us?"
Ellie smiled at her.
"Ok I'll ask her later when the boys aren't around. So have you decided what to get Alvin yet? I see you looking in all the stores."
Brittany sighed.
"I have an idea, but I'm really not sure if it's the right gift. You know every year I have a hard time getting Alvin's Christmas present. Let's not talk about this anymore, here come the boys again. I'm so tired right now. Just going to go home and take a nice hot shower and watch some TV in my bed. Come on it's getting late."
Alvin grabbed her waist and smiled at her.
"Well let's get you ladies home before dark. Come on."
Brittany smiled and hugged Alvin.
"Let's go before we miss our curfew and get grounded. I am not in the mood to be grounded on Winter Break thank you. Especially with that big tour coming up babe."
Melvin smiled at his cousin.
"Let's hope Chelsea makes the cut Saturday. It will really be boring if her brother is on tour with us and my girl isn't. Don't you agree Al?"
Alvin looked at his cousin.
"Can you not call me that? My name is Alvin. You know how much I hate that Melvin."
Alvin already had Brittany's Christmas present wrapped and put it back in his bag, along with the presents for her sisters, his brothers, and all he had left was Dave, Annette, Chad, and Melvin to get for and of course Ms. Miller and his mom. Chelsea approached her soon to be step brother.
"Umm Alvin, usually two weeks before Christmas vacation my friends umm sleep over. Do I have to break the tradition because I am living with you guys now? I promise I will keep Alana away from you, please."
Alvin sighed.
"Don't ask me, ask my father Dave. He is the one that makes the rules. I just live there."
Brittany looked at her suspiciously.
"Oh really, aren't your friends the fan girls that are always trash talking me? "
Chelsea smiled at her new friend.
"Yes Britt, they are, but see I was going to invite you and your sisters to the sleepover too if Dave allows it. Look at it this way, if Alana makes a play for Alvin you can show her exactly how tough you are. Then maybe it will sink in her head that Alvin is off limits."
Brittany liked that idea and smiled.
"If Dave allows it my sisters and I will join you at the sleepover. Alvie is that okay with you?"
He sighed.
"Yes Britt its fine. I'll just be in my room avoiding the fan girls in Chelsea's room. I deal with them at school, but would rather not deal with them in my house."
Alvin drove everyone home and Chelsea approached Dave who was at his piano working on a song for the tour coming up and the Christmas Eve concert. He looked up.
"Yes Chelsea what is it? What did you want to ask me?"
She looked at him.
"Usually two weeks before Christmas Break I have a sleepover with all my friends, and was wondering if it will be allowed now that we live here with you and the boys? I also invited the Chipettes. But I haven't invited anyone yet because I need permission first."
Dave looked up from his piano and smiled.
"Under one condition Chelsea, none of your friends are allowed upstairs where the boys' rooms are. Do I make myself clear? I mean it Chelsea no games and upstairs is off limits!"
She smiled and hugged Dave.
"Oh thank you Dave. I can tell my friends in school the sleepover is allowed. Let me call Brittany and tell her the great news."
Alvin was exiting his room and looked at his father.
"I will be in my room with my door locked, I am not in the mood to see fan girls in our house. I see enough of them at school, and at our concerts. All they do is trash talk Brittany because none of them have me."
Dave looked at his eldest.
"Alvin everything will be fine, both Annette and I are home this Friday night. Besides I already told Chelsea none of them are allowed upstairs to you or your brothers' rooms. You have nothing to worry about. Get ready for bed Alvin. Besides Brittany will also be here that night and her sisters too."
He sighed.
"Yea I know Dave, goodnight see you in the morning. Let me call Brittany, before I go to bed though. Goodnight."
He ran up to his room and called Brittany. She heard her cell ringing.
"Hey Alvie, are you sure you don't mind Chelsea having the sleepover? If any of the girls mess with you, I will take care of them Alvie. You know that don't you."
He smiled and responded.
"Yes I know, you will take care of them princess. Well I am heading to bed goodnight Britt I love you. See you in the morning at school."
