Heyy everyone! So on top of my story Now or Never, I have been getting a few reviews asking me to continue this story as well so here you go. One fresh chapter ready for reading! I hope not to make you guys wait so long for story updates anymore and actually try to keep my word this time. I dont own any AATC characters just the story line I created along with its characters. Well enjoy Ch.8 :D lolzpeace
The sun rose high in the sky as the chipmunks sat around the kitchen table eating the spread that Eleanor and Theodore cooked for them. They were in deep conversation about forming a plan but they weren't getting anywhere.
"Ok so do I teach Theodore make up before or after he teaches me how to cook" Brittany said eating a spoonful of eggs.
"But I don't want to put on make-up" Theodore wined.
"Well it's better than learning gymnastics" Simon complained, "I can't even do a simple cartwheel"
"Trust me you'll get it quickly" Eleanor reassured him, "what I don't understand is how am I supposed to learn all those math equations for your big math test"
"Its just a simple pre calculus problem" Simon explained, "when the exponents of x and y are equal to the sum greater than 0 then they are linear and if not then"
"Simon you lost me at exponentials" Eleanor said through a mouthful of eggs.
"Exponents" Simon corrected her.
"I'm doomed" Eleanor sighed, resting her head on her hand.
"Um has anyone seen Alvin" Jeanette asked, "he said he was going to go get me his hat and then he kind of just"
"Good morning family" Alvin interrupted Jeanette's question.
Because Jeanette was facing the doorway, she saw what Alvin had dressed in and quickly slid in her seat, "Why Alvin"
"It's the first step to the new you" Alvin said back. He walked in sporting the outfit that Simon had seen earlier that morning, causing Simon to look down at his plate in embarrassment of the memory. Everyone else stared at Alvin with wide eyes as he walked towards the group and served himself some eggs, "so what's the game plan"
"Well first off why are you wearing my shorts" Brittany said annoyed, especially since they seemed to fit Jeanette's body better than they did hers.
"Isn't this how girls dress" Alvin asked innocently, sitting next to Jeanette who was nearly under the table with embarrassment.
"No and to be honest your making Jeanette look a little sluty" Brittany shot back.
"But aren't these your shorts" Alvin smirked, making Brittany fume.
"Ok back to the plan" Simon said a little too loudly, "we need to make a schedule so we can master what we need to by Monday"
"So what are we starting with" Alvin asked shoving food in his mouth.
"How to eat like a human for one" Jeanette mumbled, causing everyone but Alvin to laugh.
"Haha very funny" Alvin said through bites, "we'll see who will be laughing later when I have to teach you how to talk to the ladies"
"Is this before or after I teach you AP Chemistry" Jeanette laughed as she got up to put her dishes in the sink.
As Alvin groaned in response, Dave entered the kitchen as Jeanette was clearing the plates.
"Alvin why are you um helping" Dave asked confused, "not that I don't like the sudden interest in helping out but"
"Don't get your hopes up Dave" Jeanette replied, "I'm Jeanette remember"
"Oh right sorry I forgot" Dave laughed, looking at the 6 of them, "well I'm off to golf with a few friends. I'll see you all later on for dinner"
"Bye Dave" they called as the door closed behind him.
"So" Theodore stated, "where do we begin"
…
While the Chipmunks and Chipettes planned out their day, Ang was exploring the new joys of the human life.
"Can I just stay here forever" Ang sighed as she laid on the grass, "Earth is such a peaceful planet"
"Yes with the occasional spaceship crashing in" Dean joked, lying next to her.
"Oh shut up" Ang teased, playfully hitting him, "speaking of spaceships, when is Chris going to have them fixed so we can change those humans back"
"He didn't say" Dean shrugged, "probably in a week or so"
"Oh" Ang said, growing quiet.
"Well don't sound so excited" Dean laughed, "come on you're the princess. You should want to be going back"
"Being the princess isn't as glamorous as everyone makes it sound" Ang sighed.
"Beats being kitchen boy" Dean mumbled.
"I'd give anything to have your life" Ang said, unaware that she was speaking out loud.
"Why" Dean rolled over to face her, resting his head on his hand, "my life sucks"
"Compared to mine its paradise" Ang gets up and hugs her knees.
"I have known you practically my whole life and not once have you ever complained about living the princess life" Dean observes her, "why the sudden change"
"Because I never had a problem with my life until my mother died" Ang admits, "ever since Brina married my dad it's all talk shows and fake smiles. My day is planned before I even wake up and I have to do it all because I'm the freaking princess"
"I admit the palace has been a little weird since the queen died but you still have a great life" Dean tried to comfort her but she pulled away.
"You have no idea what its like feeling totally alone in a place you cant even call home" Ang mumbled.
Dean's lips moved in a hard line, holding back all the words that he wanted to say. Instead he stood up and brushed off his jeans, "Your right I don't. I'm going to see what Chris is up to" and with a turn of the heal he walked back toward the trailer, leaving Ang to wonder what did she say that made him walk away.
Meanwhile…
"Come on Simon don't be such a wus" Eleanor laughed as she stood on the blue training mats.
"No I'm telling you I cant do this" Simon protested, "there is a higher risk of me breaking a bone before I learn how to do this ridiculous motion"
Eleanor and Simon had been at the gym for almost an hour and the closest thing that Simon had gotten off the ground was walking.
"It's a cartwheel Simon not a backflip" Eleanor sighed.
"Please don't tell me we have to do that too" Simon said in fright.
"You will if you don't conquer your fears and do a freaking cartwheel"
"Elli I'm a nerd not a gymnast" Simon stated dryly, "Can't I just fake an injury and save all this trouble"
"No" Eleanor responded, tapping her foot impatiently, "tryouts are on Tuesday and I want to make the squad this year. Those Barbie dolls think they are the only ones that can cheer. We'll see about that"
"Hold up. You never said that I was going to be auditioning for something" Simon cried.
"Because it's not that big a deal now come on let's do this before I die of impatience" Eleanor walked over to him.
"Um it kind of is and why in the world do you want to try out for cheer leading. Of all the activities our school has to offer" Simon looked at her with interest.
"Not important" Eleanor shrugged, "now"
"No I'm not doing anything until you tell me why" Simon crossed his arms in defiance.
They stared each other down, neither of them willing to budge. Eleanor sighed and put her head in her hands, frustrated, "I'm trying to make a point ok. There are you satisfied"
"What point is that" Simon asked, not expecting that answer.
"That fat girls can make the cheerleading squad as easy as those skinny witches" Eleanor burst out irritated.
"But Elli, your not even fat" Simon said dumbstruck.
"Well maybe not to you, but to the captain of the cheerleading squad I'm as big as a whale" Eleanor fumed at the memory, "when I tried out last year, I fell in the middle of the routine and you know what they said to me. 'well that's what happens when whales leave their natural habitat'"
Simon didn't know what to say to comfort her. He had known Eleanor almost his entire life, but he had never seen her so vulnerable. Without thinking he pulled her into a hug that took both of them by surprise. "Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you don't belong. You are beautiful no matter what they say"
"Thanks Simon" Eleanor said smiling.
"And if it means that much to you, then I guess I'm up for whatever you want to teach me"
This caused Eleanor's smile to widen, "ok so show me that cartwheel"
Simon sighed and shook his head, laughing, "think you can show me one more time"
Eleanor laughed in response, "let the teaching officially begin"
