The Chipmunk Tour Saga, Book VIII:
"Kingdom Hearts, Part III: 'Endgame'"
Chapter 8-FINAL CHAPTER
Before I begin this final chapter, I have a few things I'd like to say.
First of all, Book 0-Alvin and Brittany: Into the Mystic-was originally intended to be a single vignette in a compilation I called Popping The Question, in which I planned to examine what happened when the characters I enjoyed decided to take the proverbial "next step."
After I abandoned the Popping the Question project, I reexamined some ideas I had developed for another failed project, in this case a sequel to Book Zero-Alpha of the C.T.S., A Goofy Wedding: The Ultimate Disney Fanfic. I combined elements of the Popping the Question and Goofy Wedding II projects to create what you know today as Into the Mystic.
After the response I got not only here on but on The Seville Library, an Alvin and the Chipmunks-centric fan-fiction repository, I decided to continue the adventures of Team Chipmunk, post-Mystic.
These last nine stories have been an amazing ride. Please enjoy the end of this amazing journey.

Several hours later, the baby was almost delivered. "All right, Mrs. Seville," Dr. Proctor said. "All I need from you now is one big push. Think you can do it?"
Not wanting to waste the effort she would need for pushing by speaking, Brittany simply nodded. "Okay, Brittany. Now....PUSH!"
Brittany gathered all her remaining strength and channeled it into the birth of the baby. In between each count, Brittany felt an eternity pass, in which she remembered all the events in her life that led up to that moment.
"1..."
"All right, Mr. Popularity. How much you wanna bet that we can out rock 'n' roll you?"
"2..."
"Brittany Ariel Miller, will you marry me?"
"3..."
"I understand how it feels to have your girlfriend in a situation of danger without being able to do something about it."
"4..."
"To friendship..."
"5..."
"To family..."
"6..."
"But, most of all..."
"7..."
"...to the journey."
Finally, the baby was delivered. "It's a girl!" Dr. Proctor said. Brittany released the breath and sighed as Dr. Proctor showed Brittany hers and Alvin's daughter. "What's her name?" Dr. Proctor asked.
Brittany thought for a moment, then smiled. "Stargazer," she whispered. "Stargazer Cerulean Miller-Seville."
Then, as Brittany looked into her daughter's eyes for the first time, Brittany could see the same gleam in Star's eyes that she saw in Stargazer's eyes just before she gave the last of her energy to the Toon Force. It was as if Stargazer was reborn in the person of the newest member of the Chipmunk Legacy.
A few days later, Team Chipmunk was gathered outside the hospital as they waited for Alvin to wheel Brittany and the new arrival out.
"There she is!" Eleanor said. Everyone cheered and clapped as Alvin wheeled Brittany and Baby Star up to them.
"Oh, how cute," Jeanette said. "Her name is Stargazer," Brittany said. "I'm sure that Stargazer would have been flattered to hear that you've named your new child after her," Ultra Magnus said.
"Thanks, Ultra Magnus," Brittany said as she turned to look at Simon, Jeanette, Theodore and Eleanor.
"Star, these are your aunts, Jeanette and Eleanor, and your uncles, Simon and Theodore." The baby cooed at her family.
It had been exactly two years since the start of the tour for the 20th anniversary of The Chipmunk Adventure.
In that time, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor met new friends, battled new enemies and saw new places.
But, as all good things must do, the journey of Team Chipmunk eventually came to an end.
But, nature abhors a vacuum. Upon the Chipmunks and Chipettes' retirement on September 24th, 2027, a new Team Chipmunk was born.
Their members-vocalists Stargazer Seville and Jonathan "Jon" Stoppable (Ron and Kim's son), drummers Padmé and Majel Goof , Jonathan Archer (Jason and Melinda's son) and Kyla Bolton (Troy and Gabriella's daughter), keyboardist Johnny 5, guitarists Zeo Pelekai and Nani Jameson (Keoni and Lilo's daughter), technical expert Carla Witwicky (Sam and Mikela's daughter), principal songwriter Kelsi Evans and producer Ryan Evans-would have their own adventures.
But that's...another story.
So ends the Chipmunk Tour Saga.
However, stand by in the next chapter for a sneak preview of
the first story in my new series,
Team Chipmunk: The Next Generation!
