Based on characters from:Alvin and The Chipmunks. Created and owned by: Bagdasarian Productions Inc.
Saturday at The Sevilles...
Alvin had just finished breakfast, when the doorbell rang.
"Maybe my love puddle wishes to take me for a stroll somewhere?", thought Alvin to himself.
He opened the door and found himself not facing Brittany, but The Sevilles.
His grandparents .
"Hello Simon.", they said.
Alvin snickered realizing their mistake. He wasn't wearing his usual jersey.
He smiled and said "Grandpa, Grandma! It's me Alvin."
His grandfather looked at him.
With a twinkle in his eye, he said "You have grown like a beanstalk."
"Then I must be the giant.",said Simon.
He had come from the kitchen, to see why Alvin hadn't come back.
He embraced his grandparents along with Alvin.
The group walked into the kitchen and found Theodore preparing Dave's breakfast.
He had just finished placing the scrambled eggs on a plate. Theodore looked up and said,"Grandpa,Grandma!"
The now buff, chipmunk gave his grandparents a warm hug.
"OOOOh! That's quite a hug you have Theodore.",said his grandmother.
"Sorry..", he said meekly.
"Look at you. You are almost as big as Clarence, your bull..", said his grandfather.
"How is he?", asked Theodore.
"Big and proud. He makes all the cows swoon.", said his grandfather.
"Theodore... Is my breakfast ready?", asked Dave as he walked down the stairs.
He walked into the kitchen, and saw his parents. He froze for a moment. Then he rushed to their arms.
Grandpa Seville was hugging his son when he heard a familiar voice say "Easy on the hugs kid brother.
My nephew needs to be in one piece for his wedding."
He turned to see his older brother Willy.
Grandma Seville froze when she heard.,"My angel. Give your mama a hug!"
Alvin and his brothers watched their Grandmother being hugged by their Great-grandmother.
Turning to each other, the brothers agreed to leave the kitchen before it got too crowded.
Meanwhile at Edna's Bridal Shop...
The elderly seamstress diligently looked through out all her prized items in the back room.
A smile formed on her face when she found it.
Walking from the back, she entered the main room. There her niece waited.
"Here Christine!", said Edna as she handed her a box..
She looked in it and saw a tiara and a veil. Along side it an old photograph.
In it. A beautiful raven haired lady, who looked familiar.
A look at her eyes was enough to make Christine cry out,"Mama!"
She was holding her dear mother's Headdress.
Tears of both sadness and joy ran down her cheeks.
Her auntie hugged her and said,"I miss my little sister too...
Yet when I look at you. I see she isn't all gone.
A part of her lives."
Christine found comfort in her aunts words.
Wiping her tears she said, "Thank you auntie Edna. This is the most wonderful gift you've given me.."
Edna smiled and said,"No.. It isn't.. There is something more; I have to show you.
She then took something else out of the box.
The original design and pattern of the wedding dress.
She looked at her niece and said " Florence, my dear sister, will be remembered through your wedding dress."
Christine nodded in agreement.
To be married in the exact same dress, that her mother wore... Was the most wonderful gift.
