Chapter 7
"G'night Theodore! I'll miss you!" Eleanor said, running over to him.
Theodore threw his arms around her, and Eleanor returned the embrace.
"I'll miss you too, Elly." He smiled as he stared into her sparkling brown eyes, then slowly, with all his courage, leaned in and kissed her gently on the cheek.
Eleanor blinked several times, her face turning bright red before finally squeezing him tightly again.
"Eleanor, come on!" Brittany yelled from the doorway, gesturing for her sister to leave.
Eleanor sighed, but finally let go, waving to him, still blushing.
Theodore waved back, smiling.
"Ugh, finally!" Brittany complained, pushing Eleanor further out the door. Eleanor sighed with happiness which only made both Brittany and Jeanette sigh with grief.
The three girls were about to walk off the lawn and onto the street, but suddenly, a frantic chipmunk stood at the doorway, screaming.
"Brittany! Wait!" Alvin yelled, finally running out to meet up with her.
"Alvin? Whats wrong?!" Brittany asked, her heart pounding with fear.
Alvin shook his head, his hands on his knees, bending over and breathing heavily. "No, nothing's wrong. I ... need ... to talk to you." He managed to get that much out of him without falling over.
Brittany was worried, but didn't want to show it in front of her sisters. "Uh...sure." She said, rolling her eyes. "Guys, you head on home. I'll meet up with you later."
Jeanette stood there, silently. She blinked once, looking at Alvin, then nodded, clenching her purse tightly in her hand.
Eleanor couldn't help but feel bad for Jeanette. She wanted her to be happy. Maybe there was a way for her to be happy, but with who she intended on being happy with! Eleanor guessed that was what Alvin wanted to talk to Brittany about, so she grabbed Jeanette's hand and smiled.
"Come on, Jeanette. I have some yummy leftover desserts waiting at home!"
--
"Oh. Welcome back, Brittany?" Theodore laughed, asking as he packed up the desserts left on the table.
Brittany chuckled before looking at the ground then up at Alvin. She didn't say a word to Theodore. Shrugging this off, he continued on with his work.
"Yeah. We need to ... talk about some things." Alvin answered instead, hesitantly and very slowly taking Brittany's hand. This made both of their stomaches flutter nervously as they glanced at each other. Brittany's cheeks were wildly glowing red while Alvin tried to man-up by giving her a grin. Being scared himself, he almost burst out into laughter.
Theodore couldn't help but squeal at this. He almost had dropped everything he was holding. "Well, I'll be sure not to bother you!" He cheered, picking up a container that had slipped from his hands and quickly placing it into the fridge.
"Don't worry about it, Theodore. We'll just go to my room." Alvin replied, rubbing his neck in embarressment of how excited his little brother was. Was it really that obvious to everyone him and Brittany's secret feelings towards each other?
"You mean our room." Theodore corrected with a giggle, wiping his hands on a nearby dishtowel.
Alvin only nodded as he began pulling Brittany in the direction of the stairs.

Simon gently poured the chemicals he had been holding into a beaker. He hoped that working on his experiment would help to take his mind off things. The front door slamming open and the sound of his brother screaming wasn't really relaxing at all, but he grew to ignore it. The only reason he decided to look up from his work was when he heard a familiar Chipette's voice just up the stairs.
"...Brittany?" He whispered to himself, placing the beaker onto the counter and peeking his head up the spiral staircase. He was too nervous to go all the way up, though. He guessed that seeing Brittany would bring back those mysterious feelings that had been tossed upon him before.
The sounds had stopped again as Simon went back to his work. Now feeling guilty for spending the entire night in his lab, he placed the beaker down again and stood up, taking his lab goggles off.
"Might-as-well go help Theodore pack everything up, then." He spoke to himself, a small smile on his face as he threw his lab coat onto his coat hanger and raced up the stairs. Just in time too.
Simon was cut off by his brother and friend holding hands, passing him. They stopped shortly as Alvin gave Simon an uneasy smile before dragging Brittany further down the hall and up the stairs. Brittany felt badly about the whole situation and decided to give a friendly wave. That only made Simon feel worse. Forgetting what he had came upstairs for in the first place, he stomped back down into his lab, ignoring that anything had just happened.

Alvin gently let go of Brittany's hand as he slowly opened the door to his and his brothers' bedroom. Not thinking, she quickly withdrawled it, making a disgusted face. "That was just an act, right?"
Alvin turned around surprised, his stomach even more fluttery than before. Not wanting to sound like a total sap in front of the girl he loved, he only laughed as she plopped down on his bed. "Of course it was."
Brittany quickly regreted saying anything as her hand fell, cold and lifeless on her lap. She really wished Alvin was holding it again.
"So ... what did you want to talk about?" She asked, her eyes staring down at the floor.
Alvin shrugged as he took a seat next to her on his bed. It squeaked, hurting both of their ears.
"This whole situation is just ... I don't know ... weird." He replied, also looking down at the floor. He somehow managed to glance beside him at Brittany, but his courage left him as his eyes found their way back to the ground.
"I know." Brittany answered, nodding her head, "There has to be some way to get Jeanette and Simon to like each other again."
Alvin nodded also. He started rubbing his chin, deep in thought, before finally looking up brightly. "I've got an idea!" He turned to look at Brittany, a huge smile on his face. "You have to promise to do whatever I ask though, okay?"
Brittany smiled back but softer, her head slowly still nodding up and down. "Just as long as I don't have to embaress myself in public or worry about my reputation being ruined." Alvin couldn't help but chuckle at this. "Don't worry, Brit. It's nothing too embaressing."
Brittany blinked, unsurely then sighed giving in. "Fine. I'll do whatever you say... Only because I want Jeanette to be happy again." Thinking about Jeanette somehow reminded her of the dream she had when she had passed out on her bed earlier that night. Strange feelings began to overtake her as she turned to look at Alvin, who had already been staring at her. He merely glanced back to the floor, hoping she hadn't noticed.
"...Alvin?" She whispered, her eyes still caught on his. He finally looked up again, causing their vision to meet.
"Y-yes Brittany?"
"I- ... I- ..." In her head she was screaming "I LOVE YOU, ALVIN SEVILLE. YOU'RE EVERYTHING TO ME! MY HEART DOESN'T WANT ANYONE ELSE BUT YOU!" but her mouth couldn't seem to get it right as no words came out instead.
"You what? Have better shoes than me?" Alvin crossed his arms annoyed, staring down at his shoes then back at Brittany, knowing that she was going to make some rude comment. Alvin saying that only made Brittany angered as she crossed her arms, standing up.
"I WAS NOT GOING TO SAY THAT, ALVIN!"
He stood up in front of her, "OH, I'M SO SURE."
Brittany growled, stomping her foot nearly shaking the house. "YOU MAKE ME SO MAD!"
"OH YEAH?"
"YEAH!"
"OH YEAH?!" They grew closer and closer, their snouts nearly touching.
"YEAH!"
Alvin pushed his nose againest Brittany's as he wickedly stared into her eyes. Her cheeks flushed pink as she stared back, her stare less evil.
Alvin's hand suddenly made it's way to her face, holding it gently as it made it's way down her cheek to her chin. Brittany stood silently with wide eyes, watching as the boy she loved examined her. He looked down, letting their noses break free as he took his hand back to himself.
"...Are you still mad?"
Brittany very slowly shook her head no and hesitantly picked up Alvin's hand to softly place it back on her cheek. Alvin blinked as happiness filled up inside of him. His expression never changed though. They both stood silently staring at each other, their only contact Alvin's warm hand.
Alvin decided this was the perfect moment to do what he had been waiting to do for the longest time. Cautiously, he moved his face foward towards hers. Knowing what he was about to do and completely thrilled on the inside, Brittany followed Alvin's lead.
Their noses were touching as they pushed their lips foward a little more-
"ALLLVINNN!" A voice screamed from the hallway. It was Theodore.
Alvin nearly fell backwards onto the floor but steadily caught himself as he stood up straight again, looking towards the door.
Theodore entered holding a cordless phone in his hand. "It's Dave! He wants to know if everything's alright."
Alvin sighed, looking at Brittany then back to Theodore, "Well, everything WAS fine until a certain someone had to come barging in here uninvited."
"This is my room too, Alvin..."
"But you still could've knocked!"
"I didn't see any 'Do Not Disturb' signs..."
Brittany shook her head annoyed as she stepped between the two. "Guys, stop. Tell Dave that everything is just dandy and that we can't wait for him to come home from his trip."
Alvin rolled his eyes as he sat down on his bed, his arms crossed angerly.
Theodore grinned and nodded, rushing back out the door and down the stairs.
Brittany sighed, her eyes moving over to stare at Alvin. It seemed impossible that their almost perfect moment was ruined by that loud, obnoxious scream of Alvin's name. He stared back up at her, a grin on his face.
"Where were we?" He implied, standing up and moving his way over to Brittany. She looked in the opposite direction and shook her head. "I ... better head home, Alvin. It's getting really late."
"Why don't you stay the night?"
"...You think I'd be allowed to?"
Alvin nodded, a huge smile stretched from ear to ear. "Besides, we need to discuss our plans of getting Simon and Jeanette together."
Brittany blinked as she turned back to Alvin, a small smile appearing on her own face.
"Well ... alright."
