Chapter 8 - Christmas Time Is Here Again

THREE MONTHS LATER

It was the 'Wombat Hall's' annual Christmas party and with 'Z' having life imprisonment, life is a breeze for both Tommy and Kimi. However they decided that the time is right to united Kameron to his family. Kameron agreed so he, Tommy and Kimi all went to his house. He was nervous.

"I dunno about this guys, I haven't spoke to my folks for a couple of years and I don't know if they still hate me" he said nervously.

"Nonsense" scoffed Kimi. "I have reunited with my parents and friends and look at me" she said. "Yeah well you got lucky, my parents are hard asses on me two years ago, they wanted me to take up politics and that's why I ran away from them" he said as they got into the car.

"Well what is your dream then?" asked Tommy.

"My dream is to play the drums in a band" Kameron said.

"Cool" said Tommy. An hour later, Tommy drove into a new town called 'Dalesburg'.

"OK Kameron, where's your home?" Tommy asked.

"Over there" he said as he pointed down an intersection. There was a small white house with a bike, a hose and so bushes were. A BMW was parked outside as well. Tommy parked the car and he and Kimi both took Kameron out guided him to the front door. Tommy rang the door bell and outstepped was a woman in her mid-40's.

"Yes?" she asked.

"H-Hi Mom" Kameron said nervously. His mother could not believe her eyes, it was her long lost son.

"KAMERON!" she screeched happily.

"Mom, i'm so sorry for leaving you. I want to be home with you, dad and my baby sister, Julia. Please forgive me" he said with tears swelling from his eyes while his mum was hugging him.

"It's OK Kameron, I'm here, you're home now and all that matters" she said softly. Tommy and Kimi looked at them both happily.

"Well it looks like Kameron's family got an early Christmas present" said Tommy and Kimi agreed.

"Mom I like you to meet two very special friends of mine who brought me here. This is Kimi Wattanabe - Finster and her boyfriend, Tommy Pickles" he said introducing them. Kameron's mother walked up and hugged them both.

"Thank you, thank you for bringing him home" she said happily.

"Our pleasure" Tommy and Kimi said happily.

Soon they told Kameron's mum about their talents like Tommy's movies and Kimi's Japanese heritage. Then came a man.

"Honey, I'm h-h-h-h-home" he said as he saw Kameron. This was Kameron's dad.

"Kameron, is that you?" he said in disbelief.

"Hi Dad" he said nervously. Just then a little girl came in (This was his little sister, Julia)

"Hi mommy, hi daddy, hi...Kameron?" she said.

"KAMERON'S HOME!" dad shouted. And he and Julia hugged him like mad. Kameron then introduced them to Tommy and Kimi.

LATER

Tommy and Kimi have invited Kameron's family to the 'Wombat Hall Christmas Party'. They gave them directions and told when to go. And so Tommy and Kimi left to help with the party.

"Well, I hope they have a happy life together" said Tommy.

"I'm sure they will Tommy" and she kissed him, "I'm sure they will" she beamed.

THREE HOURS LATER

Everyone came into the hall to celebrate Christmas. And everyone can sing a song from karaoke. Chuckie and Lil got up on stage along with Tommy, Dil and Phil.

"Let's PARTY!" he shouted. Everyone cheered.

TOMMY: (all right you Chipmunks! Ready to sing your song?

Dil: -I'll say we are!

Chuckie-Yeah! Let's sing it now!

Tommy: Okay, Simon?

Chuckie -Okay!

Dil: Okay, Theodore?

TOMMY: -Okay! Okay, Alvin? Alvin? ALVIN!

Phil: -OKAY!)

Christmas, Christmas time is near

Time for toys and time for cheer

We've been good, but we can't last

Hurry Christmas, hurry fast

Want a plane that loops the loop

Me, I want a hula hoop

We can hardly stand the wait

Please Christmas, don't be late.

Okay fellas get ready

That was very good, Simon.

-Naturally.

Very good Theodore.

-Ahhh.

Ah, Alvin, you were a little flat, watch it.

Ah, Alvin. Alvin. ALVIN!

-OKAY.

Want a plane that loops the loop

I still want a hula hoop

We can hardly stand the wait

Please Christmas, don't be late.

We can hardly stand the wait

Please Christmas, don't be late.

Very good, boys

-Lets sing it again! Yeah, lets sing it again!

No, That's enough, lets not overdo it

-What do you mean overdo it?

-We want to sing it again!

Now wait a minute, boys

-Why can't we sing it again?

-[chipmunk chatter]

Alvin, cut that out..Theodore, just a minute.

Simon will you cut that out? Boys...

Everyone laughed and cheered. More songs were sung across the 'Wombat Hall' until at the end of the show. Tommy and Kimi were up on stage and were about to sing two songs that are dedicated to Kameron's family.

"Alright guys as a special treat. Kimi and I are going to sing two songs. HIT IT!"

TOMMY: Snow is fallin, all around me

Children playing, having fun

It's the season, love and understanding

Merry Christmas everyone.

KIMI: Time for party's, and celebrations

People dancing, all night long

Time for presents, and exchanging kisses

Time for singing, Christmas songs.

TOMMY: We're gonna have a party tonight

I'm gonna find that girl

Underneath the mistletoe, we'll kissed by candle light.

(And so Tommy did on her cheek)

Kimi: Room is swaying, records playing

All the old songs, we love to hear

All I wish that everyday was Christmas

What a nice way to spend the year. Huu, yeah!

(Shoo bi doo bi doo, doo bi doo bap,)

(Shoo bi doo bi doo, doo bi doo bap,)

(Shoo bi doo bi doo, doo bi doo bap,)

(Shoo bi doo bi doo, doo bi doo bap,)

TOMMY AND KIMI: We're gonna have a party tonight

Underneath the mistletoe, we'll kissed by candle light.

TOMMY: Snow is fallin, (snow is fallin), all around me, (all around me),

Children playing, (children playing), having fun, (having fun),

It's the season, love and understanding

Merry Christmas everyone,

Oah, Merry Christmas everyone.

(Instrumental Break)

KIMI: Snow is fallin, (snow is fallin), all around me, (all around me),

Children playing, (children playing), having fun, (having fun),

TOMMY AND KIMI: Snow is fallin, (snow is fallin), all around me, (all around me),

Merry Christmas everyone,

Oah, Merry Christmas everyone.

And at the end, Tommy kissed Kimi under the mistletoe. Soon the next music began to play and on stage were all their friends and family.

TOMMY: It's Christmas time,

there's no need to be afraid.

At christmas time

we let in light and banish shade

KIMI: And in our world of plenty

we can spread a smile of Joy

Throw your arms around the world

at Christmas time.

CHUCKIE: But say a prayer,

Pray for the other ones.

At Christmas time it's hard

but when you're having fun...

PHIL: There's a world outside your window

and it's a world of dread and fear

LIL: Where the only water flowing is

the bitter sting of tears

DIL: Where the Christmas bells that are ringing

are the clanging chimes of Doom

KAMERON: Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you.

ALL: And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life. Ohh...

SUSIE: Where nothing ever grows

No rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

TOMMY: Here's to you...

EVERYONE: Raise a glass for everyone

TOMMY: Here's to them

EVERYONE: Underneath that burning sun

ALL: Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

ALL: Feed the world...

Feed the world...

Feed the world,

Let them know it's Christmas time again.

Feed the world,

Let them know it's Christmas time again.

(Repeat several times and fade)

The noise echoed the whole room that it nearly blew the roof.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!" shouted Tommy. Soon a fishing rod was holding a mistletoe under Chuckie and Lil.

"KISS, KISS, KISS" they all chanted and so they did.
