Ch. 7- The Chipettes Meet J

After school, Alvin and Theodore walked home with the Chipettes.

"Hey, where's Simon?" Jeanette asked.

"I think he's already home" Theodore answered.

"What happened is he okay?" Eleanor wondered.

"Yeah, I'm sure he's fine" Alvin replied.

The six got to the Chipmunks' house.

"So are we gonna show us your imaginary fairy or what?" Brittany questioned.

"Yeah, just let me ask" Alvin responded.

Alvin and Theodore ran into the house.

"J! J!" The two boys shouted as they entered the house.

Simon was sleeping on the couch and J was sitting beside him, rubbing his forehead.

"SHH! Your brother is sleeping!" She scolded but in a whisper.

"Sorry" they apologized.

"It's alright" J told them.

She kissed their noses and the giggled.

"How was school?" asked J.

"Great!" said Theodore.

"Fine" Alvin replied.

"Good. Would you boys like a snack?"

"Would I" Theodore says and ran to the kitchen.

"Yeah, but can we have some friends over today?" asked Alvin.

"The Chipettes?" J asked.

"How did you know?"

"You're a cartoon and the Chipettes are some of the main characters" J explained.

Alvin was about to say something but J stopped him.

"No, they're not as big as you are" she said.

"So can they come or not? Cause they're kinda waiting outside" says Alvin.

J rolled her eyes.

"Alvin Seville, you can't just bring people here and then ask permission; that's not how it works!" J said.

Alvin whimpered and gave her 'the eyes.'

Though J found it adorable, she refused to give in.

"Alvin…" J said disapprovingly.

"Why isn't it working? It worked on Jenny" Alvin said.

"I'm not Jenny. I'm used to 'the eyes.' Took me a few years but it doesn't work on me anymore" J replied.

"Please? Oh, pretty please? They think we're crazy! We hafta show them you're legit like you said" Alvin implored.

"Oh, alright. But only for a little while. Simon needs rest so be gentle with him okay?" J said.

"Thanks!" Alvin jumped up and hugged her before going outside to get the girls.

"J said you can come for a little while but we need to be careful with Simon. He's sleeping right now" he told them.

"Okay" they responded and went into the house.

"Hello, girls. Nice to meet you. I'm J" J greeted.

"The fairy?" Eleanor asked.

"Yup. No one ever believes me until they've seen the wings so…"

J sprouted wings.

"Wow!" The Chipettes exclaimed.

"Are we in a cartoon?" asked Brittany.

"Yes, Britt" J answered.

"Okay, fine we believe you" Jeanette said.

Jeanette spotted Simon sleeping on the couch.

"J, what's wrong with Simon? Why'd he come home early?" She asked.

Simon was awake and heard the conversation; he hoped J would keep her promise.

"Oh, um, he fell pretty bad at school so I brought him home" J lied.

Simon breathed a sigh of relief.

"Simon's so clumsy and nerdy I'm not surprised" Alvin said.

Simon's eyes watered. He was clearly hurt by Alvin's words and J could tell.

"Alvin, he is not! Simon is sweet and funny and smart" J defended him.

Simon smiled at J and she winked at him.

She picked him up.

"I think the girls should leave" J said.

"But we just got here" Brittany tried.

"You can have a play date tomorrow, okay?" J told them.

"Okay!" Everyone agreed.

Alvin showed the girls to the door and J carried Simon to his bed.

"Alvin can be mean sometimes, but you can't let him get to you" J says "He probably didn't mean it and he loves you."

"I know he loves me, but I mean if he loves me why say that?" Simon questioned, sniffling.

"I dunno, sweetie. But you know what?" J said.

"What?" Simon responded.

"I love you" she told him.

"You're the best!"

Simon hugged her.
