I'm Baaaccckkk!

Hey everyone! Sorry you guys haven't heard from me in a while, but my mother has banned me from FanFiction, so I'm going to try to update from my friends house.

By The way, anyone who favorites my story will get extra special sneak peeks!

Read On!

Alvin was the first to wake up; after all, he had a lot on his mind. He quietly snuck out of the room he had to share with his brothers (against his will) almost waking Simon. The red clad shadow carefully walked past the room that was shared by the girls, and the rest of the guys who where sleeping in the living room.

Almost there, he thought. Just one more obstacle to pass. The squeaky door leading to the outside world. One bad move and his cover would be blown.

Alvin slowly turned the doorknob, looking behind him to make sure no one stirred. Not a movement. He started to pull the door towards him, which made it let out a soft squeak.

Careful Alvin. Hey, maybe if I just get it over with, they won't wake up, like a band-aid or something!

He followed through with his plan and quickly opened the door and slid out with ease, not waking anyone in the process.

Alvin let out a sigh of relief and proceeded to his destination of choice.

Back in the house, a certain pink clad chipette was having some trouble sleeping too.

I wonder if Alvin's awake, she thought

She climbed out of bed and maneuvered past the girls who decided to sleep on the floor. She had no trouble opening the door, which was already cracked open.

As soon as she was out, Brittany went to the other side of the hall to the boys' room. The little pink chipette went to the bed with the red sheets and stood over the big lump under the covers.

"Alvin," she whispered, "Alvin? Hello… Earth to shadow?" without getting any response, she began to worry. Brittany swiftly pulled back the covers, to only see two pillows where her counterpart should be.

Where can he possibly be, she thought. Then she remembered. There's only one place he CAN be. Brittany scurried out of the room, and went out into the night to find the missing munk.

Alvin sat on the highest tree branch he could find, just to make sure he wasn't spotted by any shadow hunter on a late night patrol. He couldn't stand having to hide out at his favorite place, but none the less, he liked being secluded. But he couldn't help but feel something was missing…

"Hey stranger."

Alvin jumped right out of his fur, and quickly stood to his feet, preparing for a fight, but then he realized who it was.

"Brittany? What are you doing here? How did you find me?"

Brittany giggled, which was a surprise to both of them, mostly because she never did that when people were around, "Well, I couldn't sleep, so I came into your room to see if you were awake. But I saw you were gone and I figured that you'd be at The Clearing."

"Oh, well then since you're here, you mind as well stay," Alvin patted the spot next to him, and Brittany accepted his offer and sat right next to him, causing their tails to touch each other.

"So, why are you here?" She questioned him.

"I came here to think."

"About…"

Alvin sighed, "A lot of things: my brothers, my friends, the war, you…"

Brittany started to blush a little, "Me? What about me?" she said, with a hint of urgency in her voice.

Alvin thought about what he should say next. What should he tell her? I mean, he didn't want to say anything that might offend her that would just ruin the moment. If he said he was thinking about how pretty and funny and gorgeous she was, or that he would want to follow her anywhere all day, she might think he was a crazy stalker.

"Um, well, I was just-"

"Alvin, are you okay?" she said with concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine, but I was thinking about all the fun we had when we were kids." It wasn't a complete lie. He really was thinking about that, but he left out that he wished he had told her how he felt sooner.

"Oh yeah! We did have some good times didn't we?" Brittany said with a smile.

"Yeah, especially that time we kissed…" Alvin covered his mouth shocked by what he said.

"Oh, I remember that."

*Flashback*

It was a practically normal day for 11 – year old Alvin. He woke up, got dressed, waited for Brittany to come down to the basement with breakfast, and watch the old TV until she got home from school.

It was 3:30; she should be home by now. He looked out the single window, and saw her running into the house with tear filled eyes. He heard the door slam, and footsteps heading strait down to him.

"Oh Alvin!" She sobbed. Brittany ran straight into his arms, catching him off guard. But he kind of liked the feeling of her next to him.

"What's wrong?"

Brittany sniffled and responded, "Remember that guy I was telling you about, Jake? Well. He broke up with me today because I didn't want to kiss him! I told him that I wasn't comfortable kissing him because I never kissed anyone, but he called me a wimp and broke up with me!" Brittany cried even harder. Alvin hated seeing her like this. But he had an idea to make her feel better.

"Hey Britt, don't feel bad, I've never kissed anyone either."

"You haven't?"

Alvin shook his head. There was a silence between them for a while, and then he spoke up.

"Hey Britt, I was wondering maybe-"

"Yes Alvin?"

Alvin sighed, "Never mind, it was a stupid idea."

"No really, what was it?"

He faltered a bit, but he finally said, "I just thought that since you've never been kissed, and I've never been kissed, I thought-"

"- that we should kiss."

Alvin simply nodded, and Brittany smiled at him. He was so cute when he was nervous.

Brittany leaned in closer to him, and he to her, until they were only centimeters apart. Alvin smiled at her, and then attached his lips to hers.

She tasted like fresh picked strawberries, and he tasted like mint gum. As soon as they pulled apart, they were both smiling like lunatics.

"Um, I better go upstairs before everyone gets back."

Alvin stared into her crystal blue eyes, "Okay, bye."

She headed up the stairs, but half way, she turned to him, "Hey Alvin?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks"

*End of Flashback*

That was the day Alvin knew he had a crush on his best friend.

"You know. I still haven't kissed anyone since that," said Brittany.

"Me neither."

They both looked into each other's eyes, leaning closer in the process. There noses were touching when Alvin couldn't take it anymore. He broke the seal in-between them with his lips and began kissing her gently. Brittany responded by putting her arms around his neck, as they continued to kiss near the spot they first met…

Finally the big kiss scene!

Now, I know you all are ready to see a big fight scene, and it is coming very very soon, but its not what you'd expect…

Entiways… R&R or my zombie dino will eat you!
