I'm back! This is when it get's good! Their rise to fame. And probably the most important time for Dave and Jess to really connect. Should be an interesting ride, huh? Well, stay tuned to see how this all plays out!
Disclaimer: I have no rights to Alvin and the Chipmunks. I wish I did. That would be sweet! But I don't, so don't accuse me of stealing! I am just borrowing the characters for a bit. ENJOY!
Chapter Six:
The next few weeks went by like a complete blur. I barely remember half the stuff we did, but I was enjoying our rise to fame. It was only a day after we discovered what the chipmunks did that I moved in. that was three weeks ago.
Now, I'm enjoying the time I have with them and Dave. Oh, and Jenny. We didn't lose contact or anything.
But it was still interesting. It didn't take long for the boys to move to the top of the charts. And because of this, we also had more money than we've ever seen. Which means we had plenty of toaster waffles in the house. Which Theo takes full advantage of making sure he has plenty of whip cream on top.
But just because the boys we're famous now, didn't mean they stopped acting like boys. Dave was making soup for them the other day and the funniest thing happened. When Alvin jumped onto the table from the spice shelf, he accidentally knocked over some hot sauce. Which landed in Dave's coffee.
You can imagine how angry he was when he went to take a drink of his coffee and ended up burning his mouth. While I couldn't stop laughing, Dave was furious and the boys- mostly Alvin, which is always- got a stern talking too.
Alvin, however, wouldn't deterred from his tricks, even if it got him into trouble. One day, Dave was asleep on the couch and I was at work. Dave told me he had woken up to a giant A written on his forehead. Alvin was grounded for a week for that, not that he listened to Dave. That kid would be the death of us all, I swear.
Dave also got around to making little sweaters for them to wear. Simon's was blue, Theo's was green, and Alvin's was red with a giant A on it. I thought they were the cutest things and the boys loved them the minute they tried them on.
And that all brings us to today, December 18. We were gonna decorate the tree and I know the boys were excited about that. Dave and I had taken them out earlier to pick one out and after that we went to the store and picked out some lights and other decorations to have around the house. Then we came home and Dave put the tree in the right place and I helped him with the lights. I also put on the tree skirt.
Now we were in the middle of putting the decorations on. The boys would hand an ornament to either Dave or I and then we would hang it on the tree. The ornaments were pretty normal at first, but then they got weird. They handed Dave a bronze cookie cutter. Dave gave them a strange look before hanging it on the tree. Next they handed me a toothbrush. I giggled and took it and hung it on the tree. Last they handed Dave a sandwich. I really started laughing then but Dave told them no. As he should.
December twenty-forth came around. Dave and I sent the boys to bed early before climbing into bed ourselves. Unknown to me, that was also the night Theodore had a nightmare and Dave allowed him to stay in his room.
But the next morning I was woken up by two very excited Chipmunks who jumped onto my bed and started screaming at me to get up and that it was Christmas. "Come on Jess! Get up! Get!" Simon yelled as Alvin jumped. "Stop being slow, it's Christmas!" Alvin laughed.
I giggled and got out of bed and the boys cheered. I slipped on some house slippers and grabbed a robe before following them to Dave's room. When I got there, I saw the cutest thing ever! Theo asleep on top of Dave's head. I told the boys to wait a second and the jumped in anticipation while I went and got a camera. I took a couple pics before setting the camera down and joining the boys.
"Dave! Wake up! It's Christmas!" I giggled as the other two followed suit. "Theodore! Wake up! It's Christmas!" Alvin shouted as Simon shouted that it was Christmas. "On the first day of Christmas, Dave woke up!" Simon sung. "Hallelujah it's Christmas!"
"Christmas! It's Christmas!" I laughed as Dave finally started to wake up. "Wake up lazy bones!" Alvin laughed before all three Chipmunks and I headed back into the living room. Dave following behind us. "You can sleep when you're dead!" Alvin reminded him. I laughed at their excitement. This holiday meant a lot to them.
"Hurry up mom and dad!" Theodore shouted and Dave and I both froze and looked at him wide eyed. "Dad?" Dave asked in surprise. "Mom?" I also asked, feeling slightly giddy at the comment. He thought about me as a mother figure. "Uh, Dave, I meant Dave. And Jess. Hehe." He nervously laughed before leaving. Dave and I exchanged looks before following them.
"This is shaping up to be the best Christmas ever!"Alvin shouted as Simon informed us that we were gonna want to open up his first. The two others though disagreed and told us to open their presents first.
"Wow, you guys got us presents?" Dave asked in surprise. The boys all exclaimed of course as if it were the most obvious thing. The boys jumped jumped on to the recliners footstool, each with two presents by their side. "Alright, Simon."
Dave and I took our designated present from Simon and opened them. Inside were matching paper clip compasses. Which I thought was really sweet. Dave wasn't sure what it was at first, but when Simon told him, he smiled and said that now he'd never get lost. I thanked Simon cheerfully.
"Me next!" Alvin sang and Dave and I took our designated presents. Dave opened up his to find his wallet and I opened mine up to see my favorite necklace. I giggled and thanked Alvin. "Do you like it, really? I wanted to give you something you use everyday."
"And I have been using this, for almost ten years now. Very thoughtful Alvin, thank you." Dave thanked. "I love my present Alvin. This is my favorite necklace." I smiled and Alvin seemed to beam with joy. "Yeah,the look on your guy's face says it all." Alvin chuckled.
"Alright, Theodore's turn." I smiled as Dave and I picked up the papers with our manes on it. "Nicely done Theodore." Dave complimented. "To Dav."
I chuckled when I noticed Theodore had spelled our names wrong. He spelled mine jesika. And he was missing the e on Dave's name. Still, it was a thoughtful present. We opened them up and inside was what looked like a family of pineapples. "Thank you Theodore." I smiled.
"Let's see, it say's Merry Christmas, love Theodore. And it's got a nice pictures of some.. pineapple?" He asked, just as confused as I was, though I didn't say my opinion. "Those aren't pineapples! That's our family." Theodore explained.
"Oh, how cute!" I giggled. Dave, however, looked unsure.
"Uh, look fellas. Let's make sure we understand each other here. I'm not your, you know, dad or anything, right?" he asked and they all looked a little confused. Theo mentioned that he was like a dad. "Well, not really. I mean, we're friends, for sure. I write your music, you know, manage your career."
"Technically I manage it." I spoke up and Dave shot me a "not helping" look. I just shrugged with a smirk. "Make us sweaters." Simon pointed out. "Feed us." Alvin shrugged. "Let us sleep in you bed when we have nightmares." Theodore finished.
"That's what friends do." Dave shrugged as if it were no big deal. They all stared at him as if he were kidding and finally Dave decided to change the subject. He clapped his hands. "So, who wants to open their presents?" He asked as he walked over to the stockings.
"Uh, is that a trick question?" Alvin asked in exasperation. "We do!" They cheered as they ran to the coffee table. They continued to cheer, ready to get their presents. Dave set three envelopes in front of them. "I can't wait to open my first envelope." Alvin said, a little disappointed as Dave handed him their gifts.
They all looked over their gifts in confusion. "They're savings bonds." Dave explained. "You know, it seven years your gonna get to buy yourselves something really nice."
"Do you have any form seven years ago?" Alvin asked and Simon pushed him in warning. "Uh, I mean thank you Dave." He chuckled. "Yeah, thanks Dave." Theodore also said.
"Alright, my turn." I smiled as I ran to my room to grab their presents, including Dave's. His was the biggest to carry and the boys was one medium size box. When I walked in, I handed the boys theirs and Dave's his. "You got me something?" Dave asked with a smile.
"Of course I did. I always do." I giggled and Dave smiled before handing me my own present. "I got you something too."
We all opened our presents at the same time and I was satisfied when the boys all cheered about their present. I got them an xbox and three controllers. "Awesome! I always wanted one of these!" Alvin laughed and so did I. "I figured you boys would love it." I chuckled.
"Wow, Jess, you got me a new guitar." Dave said as he gazed at his instrument in awe. I chuckled and nodded. "Yup, the guy at the guitar store said it was currently the best model to have. So of course I had to buy it for you." I replied.
"Thanks Jess." He smiled as he reached over and gave me a hug. I hugged him back, trying to ignore the electric shock I felt any time we touched. Then I opened up my present from him. Inside was the most beautiful charm bracelet I had ever seen.
"It has charms from places we've been since high school. I've been making this for a few years now and now that it's full, I figured it was time to give it to you." Dave explained and I could feel tears welling up.
"Dave! This is the best present you've ever given me. I love it so much!" I exclaimed as I fastened it onto my wrist. Dave chuckled. "It was no problem at all. I'm glad you like it." He said and I shook my head. "I don't like it, I love it!"
That was when the door bell rang and we all looked up at it, wondering how that could be. The door opened and Ian walked in. "Hohoho!" Ian exclaimed and Dave and I both said his name in confusion. "Who wants presents?" Ian asked, ignoring us. The chipmunks all wowed in amazement. "Alright, hey, there's plenty more from where this came from." Ian assured them. "Come on in fellas!"
More guys entered the house and Dave and I stood up. I was suspicious about Ian's intentions. He was a clever guy who always got what he wanted. Which was money. And the chipmunks were money. "What are you doing?" Dave asked with slight frown.
"Just taking care of my boys Dave." Ian replied with a smirk. The boys were all excitedly looking over their presents, trying to decide whose was whose and which to open first. "What you guys get them?" Ian asked turning to them.
Dave went to say savings bonds, but I cut him off. "We both got them an xbox." I said before giving Dave a look that said not to say otherwise. Ian nodded. "Not bad, but did you get them any games?" Ian asked with a smirk.
I held my head up high. "I planned on taking them to get some this afternoon." I answered. Ian nodded thoughtfully. "Well, don't worry about it. There are some games in here somewhere that they can use." Ian replied and I glared suspiciously. "How'd you know we got them an xbox?" I asked.
Ian didn't answer however and just handed Dave some presents. Dave asked of these were for him and Ian gave him a strange look before telling him that it was for the chipmunks. The last present he put on though he said was for him and then asked if he liked the Oakridge boys. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
Ian turned to me and handed me another box. "This one is for you Jess." He said and I looked down at it curiously before opening it. Inside was a silver comb, which was covered in rhinestones. It was engraved with the saying, "Merry Christmas Jess, from Ian." I smiled. "Thanks Ian, it's beautiful."
He grinned before turning tot the boys. "And guess what guys! Uncle Ian is going to have a big launch party for the new CD." Ian told them and the boys all cheered. "That's right, press, paparazzi, Hollywood hotshots, the whole nine yards."
The boys all shouted about how cool that was but Dave and I were both concerned about it. Ian turned to us again. "You guys got one week to write me a new hit single, alright, something funky and fresh, k? Peace! We out!" Ian made the peace sign before leaving the house. "Merry Christmas."
"Now it really is Christmas!" Simon chuckled. Alvin climbed onto the helicopter and Theodore began to work it, causing Alvin to fly through the air. He yelled in shock as he flew past Dave and I, who were still frozen to the spot. Dave shot the boys an unamused look before glancing at me. We were both suspicious about Ian's behavior.
"Something doesn't sound right here." I told Dave as we watched the boys play with their new presents. He nodded. "I agree. I think Ian is up to something."
And now they have their suspicions! Fun right! Lols! I love suspicion! It makes life more fun! Stick around for more! And remember to review! I need those to continue this!
