Sorry for the wait, guys! It's unfair that you have to wait for stories like this. I had it all written up, but I accidentally deleted part of it. But enough of my drabbling. Without further adieu, Jar of Heartbreaks, chapter 6!
Alvin and Brittany stopped hugging when they heard a voice. "BRITTANY!" They both smiled, as they said simultaneously cheered, "Dave!" Brittany leaned out of the tree. "Dave! We're up here!" Dave walked over and called up, "You are in a LOT of trouble, young lady! I-" Dave stopped mid-sentence. Did she just say... "we?" Dave looked suspicious. "What do you mean by 'we?'" Brittany beamed. "I found Alvin!" Dave was shocked. "So, that's why she wanted to come here..." Dave murmured to himself. Alvin leaned out of the tree as well. "Hey, Dave!" Dave sighed, resisting the urge to shout Alvin's name. Alvin's face sported a concerned expression. "You need to drive us to the hospital, Dave." Dave became confused. "Why? You two look fine to me." Alvin sighed, while Brittany looked sheepish. "It's not us, it's my cousin, Skylee. She-" Dave cut him off. "Since when do you have cousins?" Alvin facepalmed. "Dave, I'll explain everything later. We need to get her to the hospital, STAT!"
Alvin helped Skylee out of bed. "We need to get you to the hospital." Skylee tilted her head. "Vhy? Is my nose bleeding zat badly?" Alvin sighed once again. "I don't have time to explain. Dave will take us there."
All three chipmunks scampered down the tree to Dave. "Bonjour, Monsieur Dave," Skylee greeted. Dave's mouth hung open. "You have a cousin I never knew about, and she's FRENCH?" "Dave!" Alvin groaned. "Oh, right. The hospital. But what's wrong with her?" Alvin was really exasperated at this point. "AMNESIA! NOW MOVE IT!" Dave got everyone situated in the car before driving off to the hospital. He wouldn't normally put up with Alvin's yelling at him, but circumstances were a bit crazy at the moment.
When they arrived at the hospital, they explained what happened, and Skylee was given a room and put on a hospital bed. The nurse spoke in a monotonous voice, "How do you feel?" "Vell, my head has been starting to hurt..." "The doctor will see you shortly." She walked out of the room.
Alvin glared at her as she left. He mumbled, "The nerve of that little..."
Suddenly, a silver chipmunk flew in. Dave, Alvin, Brittany, and Skylee were awestruck. He joked, "Vhat? Have vous not seen a flying chipmunk before?" They kept staring. The silver chipmunk rolled his eyes, smiling. "Vell, Madam Skylee, vhat seems to be zè trouble?" Still awestruck, Brittany managed to speak, "Wait. So, YOU'RE the doctor?" The flying chipmunk exclaimed, "Oh, how rude of moi! I have not yet introduced moi self. Zè name is Dr. Milo. Yes, I am an official doctor."
Milo has two gold stripes running from the front of his forehead to the back of his tail. He is French. He wears a gold beret, and his eyes are as the same hue as Skylee's electric-blue ones. He loves to have fun. He won't admit it, but he's a crazy romantic.
He turned his attention to Skylee as he perched himself on the end of the bed. "As I vas saying, zè reason vous are here is because...?" Brittany explained, "She has amnesia." Dr. Milo put a paw to his mouth. "Zis is tragic! Zere may not be a cure for zis..." His face grew sad. "Vhat has caused zis horrendous happening?" Brittany decided to stare at the floor. Alvin cringed. "That's a touchy subject..." Dr. Milo grew suspicious, but decided not to press further. He looked into Skylee's eyes. They seemed familiar... He thought to himself, "How do I know Madam Skylee?" He continued to stare into her eyes.
Skylee smiled as she looked into Milo's eyes. She thought to herself, "Do I know him from somevhere?"
The doctor shook his head. "Vell, vous have recieved some damage to your head, but zat is nuzzing some rest can't solve. As for zè amnesia... vell..." He sighed. "Ve know not of a cure for zis yet. Try everyzing vous can to gain back zè memory of vous."
Skylee asked, "Could vous help moi?" Milo looked startled. "Moi? I-I don't know about zat..." Skylee looked at him with puppy dog eyes. "Please? Vous seem so familiar..."
Realization struck across Milo's face like lightning. He exclaimed, beaming, "Oh, Madam Skylee!" Tears of joy flowed from his eyes. "My long lost friend! At last I have found vous! I'd recognize zose eyes anyvhere!" Memories came flooding back to Skylee. She beamed as well, eyes sparkling with joyful tears. "Monsieur Milo! I missed vous so much!" She pulled him into a tight embrace. Both were ecstatic about finding the other. Brittany and Alvin watched on with happy expressions. Dave looked as though he were in a trance. Brittany spoke up, "Hey, you guys should live with us! Dave won't mind, will you, Dave?" Dave drawled, "Sure… Why not…" Alvin chuckled. "We better get him some sleep." Milo broke apart from Skylee, to her disappointment. "Vould vous like to do ze honors, madam?" Skylee perked up. "I'd love to!" She snapped her fingers, and they all disappeared in a flash of lightning. The doctor walked into the room. "Sorry for the long wait. I was really busy with another patient, and—Hello?" He carefully examined the room. Upon not seeing anybody, he started singing, in a trance-like voice, "Round, like a spiral in a circle, like a wheel within a wheel…"
Theodore awoke to a crash of thunder. "Yipe!" He tiptoed over to Simon's bed and shook him gently. "Simon? Are you awake?" Simon pulled the covers tight over his head as he grumbled, "No." Theodore shook him again. "I heard a flash of lightning." Simon sighed, then sat up and put his glasses on his face. "First of all, Theo, you can't hear lightning. That would be called thunder. Second of all, there isn't a cloud in the sky. That isn't possible." Theodore insisted, "B-but I-I did!" Simon put a paw on Theodore's shoulder. "Theo, go to bed." Suddenly, they heard a voice. "HEY, YOU GUYS! WAKE UP!" The two chipmunks looked at each other. "Alvin!" They ran down the stairs, two drowsy chipettes following suit. Jeanette and Eleanor cried simultaneously, "Brittany!" Eleanor apologized, "We're so sorry!" "Yeah," agreed Jeanette, "We didn't mean to - who are they?" Skylee waved. "Bonjour!" "Oh, hello, Skylee," Simon greeted, "How have you been?" Jeanette looked dumbfoundedly at Simon. "Who is she?" Simon smiled. "Jeanette, this is my cousin, Skylee." Jeanette calmed at this. Skylee held out a hand to her. Jeanette hid behind Simon. "She's shy," Simon explained.
Theodore held his hand out to Milo, who shook it warmly. "Good morning, starshine! Zè earth says 'hello!'" Theodore laughed. "Nice to meet you, Willy Wonka!"
"Alright," announced Dave, "I know with all the excitement going on, none of you will get to sleep anytime soon. You may stay up, just keep it down so I can get my rest."
Hearing this, everyone squealed in excitement. They all talked with each other as they watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, eventually dozing off.
That, my friends, dutifully concludes Jar of Heartbreaks. I will upload the squeakquel soon.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any the following: Christina Perri or her song Jar of Hearts, the idea of anthropomorphic chipmunks, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Dave, Noel Harrison or his song Windmills of Your Mind, Brittany, Jeanette, or Eleanor. If I owned Alvin and the Chipmunks, the chipettes would have been introduced in the first movie, and there would be lots more Alvittany, Simonette, and Theonor.
CLAIMER: I DO own the plot, Skylee, and Milo.
See you in the squeakquel, guys!
