Hell-o! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I've been so busy with school, homework, projects, and soccer. To my reviewers...
DiceRox09- Even when I didn't know much about them, I kept them in character. Huge shock to me when I figured out that I kept him in character by accident! LOL!
brittany x alvin forever- This next chapter will be really weird. But at least you'll get to see what they do next. Enjoy!
On with the story!
Quickly and quietly, they opened the window, and bolted out of there.
Two blocks away, they stopped.
"Where do we go now?" asked Eleanor.
"I don't know," Jeanette admitted.
"Well, I think we should get out of here as fast as we can. I don't know about you two, but I don't put it passed Ms. Grudge to come after us," Brittany said a- matter- of- factly.
Jeanette and Eleanor quickly saw that Brittany was right.
"So," Eleanor spoke at last, "where is the nearest thing to get us out of here?"
"Well," Jeanette hesitated, "there is a boat dock south of here where people export food. Maybe we can," she gulped, "sneak aboard."
"Well, I don't think we have much of a choice," Brittany stated. "Which way is south?"
Jeanette looked up at the sky for a moment. "That way," she said pointing to her left.
"Where'd you learn to do that?" asked an amazed Eleanor.
"Talent." Jeanette smiled. "I once read a book on how to tell direction from the stars."
"Boy, are we lucky we have you, or what?"
Jeanette blushed.
All three of them ran in the direction in which Jeanette identified as south.
At last, they stared at what was going to bring them to sanctuary. It was an enormous ship. It probably would have fit the orphanage in it three times. That wasn't saying much, the orphanage was very small. But he ship was good all the same.
"Well lets get a move on," said Brittany.
They jumped through the portholes, one at a time when no one was looking.
"Well, I don't know about you," said Eleanor, trying to stifle a yawn, "but I'm exhausted.
They all were. The three girls sat themselves down on top of a giant pile of tomatoes.
"Goodnight everyone," said Jeanette.
Brittany and Jeanette fell asleep instantly, only to be woken up seconds later by Eleanor.
"What?" Brittany snapped, who was starting to get annoyed.
"Brittany!" Jeanette scolded her. 'She can be insensitive sometimes,' she thought. "Yes, Eleanor?"
"Well, umm, I couldn't sleep, and I, umm-"
"Spit it out, will you!" yelled Brittany, losing her patience all together.
"Could you sing me a bedtime song?" she blurted out.
"A bedtime song?" said a surprised Jeanette. "We haven't done one of those in a while."
"If it will get you to go to sleep, then sure," Brittany yawned.
"What do you want us to sing?" asked Jeanette.
"What about 'Tomorrow' from that movie Annie?"
"'Tomorrow'?" Brittany raised her eyebrow. "You told us you hate that song!"
"I did," she admitted. "But if you think about it, we're kind of in the same situation as she was."
"What do you mean by that?" Jeanette asked her.
"Orphans, running away, ending up somewhere we've never been before, and on our way to our next adventure."
"I've never thought of it that way," said Jeanette.
"Okay, we'll sing you your song, and fast. Do you realize how much beauty sleep I'm missing?" Brittany ranted.
"The sun will come out.
Tomorrow.
Bet your bottom dollar.
That tomorrow."
Eleanor loved to hear her sisters sing. It was very relaxing and soothing. She soon lost consciousness.
"Oh, good. She's asleep," Jeanette whispered.
"Good, I'm really tired." She gave a huge yawn, and fell asleep.
Jeanette was only two seconds behind her.
They woke up the next morning finding themselves exactly where they had fallen asleep.
As soon as all three of them resumed consciousness, Eleanor said, "Well I don't know about you two, but I'm starving. And will you look at that." She motioned to all the food. "We've got more food now than we've ever had in our whole lives."
Ms. Grudge never starved them, but they were never allowed to have as much food as they wanted.
They couldn't eat too much of it, or peoplr would know that they were there. But for three chipmunks, it was more than enough.
Soon, there was a voice coming from the speakers saying, "We will be arriving in America in a few minutes."
Eleanor went to the porthole, and looked out side.
"America?" said Jeanette, shocked. "I thought we were just going to another part of Australia."
"Look on the bright side, Jeanette," said Eleanor. "No Ms. Grudge, new place, new place, a new start, and where the Chipmunks live."
"Hmmm... I never thought of it that way," said Jeanette. "But America is a country, how do you even know if we're even on the right side?"
"Because, we are in California," she said, motioning to the porthole.
Brittany and Jeanette looked through it, and instantly saw that Eleanor was right.
"There was a giant sign on shore that read, 'Welcome to California.'
"How long have you known?" Brittany asked her.
"Since the man on the speaker said that we're going to America," she said simply.
"Let's start unloading," said a deep, unfamiliar voice.
"Quick, hide!" Jeanette said in a loud whisper.
They didn't need telling twice. Each of them got into a different crate of fruits and vegetables. Brittany got into one ful of tomatoes, Eleanor into carrots, and Jeanette was left to hide in lettuce.
Three men came in, each going to the crates the three sisters were hiding in.
As they were being carried off, Brittany and Eleanor were getting squashed by whatever else was in the crate with them. Jeanette, beacuse she was with lettuce, was just fine.
So, how'd I do? Review willyou? I'm lonely, NOT! But seriously, review. Later!
