Don't blame me, blame the schoolwork during spring break! I had like three projects. Good thing it's almost summer. Here we go…!


The next morning the Chipettes were sleeping in. They were tired after the antics of the night previous, not only playing games, doing makeovers, and staying up late, but finding out the truth; that June, September, and May do have crushes on their chipmunk counterparts. It had been an exhausting night and the Chipettes wanted nothing more than a little sleep.

"BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" A voice yelled. The Chipettes didn't jump out of the bed in a shocked manner, but they squeezed their eyes shut in hearing it. Jeanette and Eleanor sleepily blinked open their eyes and stretched.

"Anyone else wish that it was Alvin he just called?" Brittany sleepily asked, then yawned. Jeanette and Eleanor looked up at Brittany. Then Jeanette and Brittany looked down at Eleanor.

"Guess Dave's put on his slippers." She said in an uneasy tone, but smiling. Her sisters smiled back. Brittany climbed down from her bunk.

"Come on girls. Let's go see." Brittany said. Jeanette and Eleanor giggled, climbed out of bed, and followed Brittany. They walked out into the hallway where they saw Las Mes. September was peering into Dave's room with a smile on her face.

May walked up to Brittany, "Aye! What's all the yelling about?" she whined. Brittany pointed towards Dave's room.

"Remember our prank?" she asked. May instantly grinned. "Oh, he's put them on?" Brittany nodded.

"Yeah, so now we're in troublllllllleeeeeeee!" Brittany grinned. Sure enough, Dave, in his furry, yet soggy slippers, stepped out into the hallway with the females.

"Wow, they must have really been wet, the water's barely evaporated." Jeanette whispered to Brittany. She looked down at Eleanor.

"I wanted to be sure they'd be really wet!" she said, with a confused shrug.

"What are these?" Dave asked in an annoyed tone, pointing down at his soaking slippers.

"I…uh…think they're slippers, Dave." Brittany answered, covering one side of her face, turning slightly. Dave rolled his eyes.

"Yes, Brittany, I know they're slippers. What I don't know is why they're soaking wet!" Dave said, raising his voice slightly, as the Chipmunks were still sleeping.

Brittany looked up at Dave, her hands behind her back. "Well, uh…remember that slumber party of ours?" she asked with a cute smile. Dave rolled his eyes.

"Truth or dare?" he asked.

"Truth or dare." Eleanor responded. Shocked, he glared at her. She shrugged.

"Oh come on; what did you want me to do?" Eleanor asked. "I can't turn down a dare." He squatted down.

"Look, since this was your first slumber party, I guess I'll just handle this with good spirits and let you guys go without punishment." Dave said. Wide-eyed, all six girls looked up at him.

"Really?" Jeanette asked. Dave nodded.

"I suppose it wasn't all that bad of a prank." Dave said. "Did you guys do any other dares?" Just then, the chipmunks appeared out of their room, covered with powder, rubbing their eyes.

"What's with all the noise, Dave?" Alvin asked, powder surrounding him as if he was a ghost. Simon and Theodore walked toward the others following Alvin.

"Indeed, it's not even 8:45 in the morning." Simon stated, then yawned. He and his brothers were hearing snickers. Then seeing them. Even Dave was trying to cover his mouth.

"What's so funny?" little Theodore asked, his eyes wide open now, no longer worrying about sleep. He actually had a worried expression on his face. He and his brothers, side-by-side, couldn't see anything funny looking at the girls; so the glanced at each other.

As they started looking at each other and all over themselves, noticing the flour, Brittany giggled, "Wow, September, when you get dared, you really go all the way." September excitedly bounced around.

"Wow, that's more flour than I remembered!" she laughed. It was true. The boys looked as if they'd been bathed in the flour.

June looked aghast, but still snickered. "Sweetie, how dark was it in there?" she asked, looking at the boys. Besides their pajamas, the only color that could be seen was the white of the flour and the slight brown of the fur.

"Well, it t'was pitch black in there." September said. "I didn't know how much I useded."

"Used!" June said in annoyance. September shrugged.

"FLOUR? YOU COVERED US IN FLOUR?" Alvin exclaimed in shock, his eyes were huge.

"I don't even remember having this done last night." Theodore said.

"I'm gonna need an hour long bath to get all of this flour out." Simon said. Now, Dave and the girls were laughing out loud. Alvin had gotten down on all-fours and had attempted to shake off the flour, but all that did was create a cloud of flour.

"You got that right." Dave said. The Chipettes and Las Mes were laughing at how much flour there was.

"I didn't even imagine that there'd be that much flour." Jeanette laughed.

"You guys better get going if you want to get all of that flour off." Eleanor mocked. Dave agreed.

"Yeah, September's about to start breakfast for us. Go on now, clean yourselves up." He said. With that, September scurried over to the counter and began preparing a breakfast.

Meanwhile, the boys headed off to the bathroom to try to clean themselves up. They took off their pajamas and set them aside.

"Well," Simon began, turning on the water "It was a good prank they did. I never expected them to do dare involving us." He stood in the sink and let the water wash out the flour.

Theodore nodded. "Yeah, I didn't even think they were gonna play truth or dare." He splashed his face with water. "I thought they'd just talk about girl stuff." Alvin slid into the sink.

"Well, I knew that both of those things were gonna happen." He said. "Of course they'd play truth or dare." He said looking at Theodore. "And I expected that they'd do something to us." he said turning to face Simon.

"So basically, I'm just one step ahead of you guys." He said triumphantly. Simon climbed out of the sink and started drying off.

"So, you knew they were gonna cover us in flour?" he asked, Theodore looking over in curiosity.

Alvin's smile faded. "Well…no. I thought they'd do something simple like try to steal my hat or blow something of yours up." He said the last part to Simon. "Maybe eat some of Theo's food." Alvin went on. He climbed out of the sink and Theodore jumped in.

Alvin took the towel from Simon and dried off. "Well, who knew those girls were so crafty?" Simon nodded. He then went to the faucet and turned it off for Theodore. When he'd dried off, the three chipmunks went to their room. They hadn't bothered to put on their pajamas again, as they intended to just put on their hoodies, which they did.

They entered the kitchen to see everyone on the counter. September was putting a waffle in a napkin. She handed it to Dave. He took a bite out of it.

"See ya later, guys." He said chewing and hurried out the door.

"See ya!" they all called after him. The chipmunks sat in-between Las Mes and The Chipettes.

"So, what's for breakfast today?" Alvin asked when he sat down.

"Whatever it is, I'm sure it's good!" Theodore said, rubbing his stomach.

"Ahh…that it is." May said. "It's a delicacy called 'Sorpresa Septiembre de Panqueques' or in English, 'September's Surprise Pancakes'".

June licked her lips. "And they're just incredible! I always long for the next time that I can taste them again."

Theodore's eyes widened, "What's the surprise?" May shook her finger "no".

"If I told you, you wouldn't be surprised and you'd already know what you're trying to taste for." She explained. Theodore's ears fell, but he perked up and said. "Well, I hope she finished soon."

September filled a pancake in the pan. "Well, I'm almost done. Just sit tight, Theo." She said.

Brittany looked at Alvin. "Well, I see you're not covered in flour anymore; lookin' like a brown skunk." She smirked. Alvin glared at her.

"Uh-huh, you think you're so funny. We'll see, we'll see." He said with crossed arms.

She raised her eyebrows, "Whachoo mean 'we'll see?" she asked. He smirked.

"I'm mean, we'll see; later." He said. Brittany still looked slightly confused, but she simply shrugged it off.

Another pancake was flipped and there were nine completed. A waffle popped out of the toaster and as it flew in the air, September quickly grabbed a plate and held it out to her side and the waffle landed perfectly, bowing to her audience.

May, June, Jeanette, Eleanor, and The Chipmunks clapped at the feat, but Brittany didn't seem to care or think it was that impressive. Not seeming to realize, September passed out the plates. She then placed a pancake on each plate.

"All served," September began, "And…" she spun around and stopped at Theodore, "A waffle for you." She smiled, holding out the plate and bowing again as if she were a servant to a king.

Theodore's eyes widened. "Is this?" he began. September nodded.

"Yep, one perfect waffle just for you." She answered. He picked up the waffle and bit into it.

"This is...THE BEST WAFFLE YET!" Theodore exclaimed. "They must get better every time." September blushed.

"Thanks!" she said quickly. She then sat down next to him and began eating her waffle. They smiled at each other. Unknown to the two, Eleanor was staring at them. She lowered her head and continued eating.

"So, what is on the schedule for today?" May asked Alvin. Alvin swallowed the part of his waffle that he was chewing.

"Well, we've planned to do a little something different than we've done these past few days." He explained. She curiously raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean by that?" she asked.

"Well, you know how we've been in the house with Brittany, Eleanor, Theodore and September?" he asked. She nodded.

"And how Jean and Si have been going outside with June?" he added. Once again, she nodded.

"Well today, we're all going outside." He said. All of the girls looked at each other.

"For what?" Brittany asked.

"You'll see." Simon said. Jeanette looked at him.

"You know what he's talking about?" she asked. He smiled.

"Yeah, we planned it last night. You'll have to wait though." He said. She nodded and continued eating.

"I wonder what it is. Knowing Alvin, I'll probably be a contest." Jeanette thought.

Eleanor looked interested, too. "Was this thought of last night while we were having the slumber party?"

"Yeah." Theodore replied. "We were thinking of fun things to do today and decided on-" Alvin interrupted him.

"THEODORE! You were about to tell them!" he stressed. Theodore rubbed the back of his head.

"Oops, sorry." He said. "Well, after we eat, we can go outside. Then you will find out." He said.

So everyone continued to eat. When he finished eating, Alvin stood up.

"Is everyone done?" he asked.

"I AM!" Theodore, Eleanor, and September said in unison. Alvin nodded.

"Good; Theo, you go outside and make sure everything looks like it should." He said. Theodore saluted him.

"Aye, aye, captain." He said. He jumped off of the counter, landed on the floor, then scurried outside.

Alvin turned back to the others to see Simon finishing.

"I'm going outside to help Theodore." He said. Alvin nodded.

"Okay, if something doesn't check out, call me." He said. Simon nodded and leaped off of the counter.

Eleanor and September were playing pat-a-cake. Eleanor turned to face Alvin.

"Alvin, can we go outside now?" she asked. Alvin shook his head "no".

"No girls go out there until everybody is finished." He stated plainly, crossing his arms. Eleanor sighed and September smiled and continued pat-a-cake.

Jeanette stood up. "I'm finished with my breakfast."

"Okay, three down, three to go." Alvin said. "Come on girls, eat, eat, eat." He said, clapping his hands like a coach, talking to wrestlers preparing for a match. Brittany, chewing, pointed up at Alvin.

"Don't rush me while I'm eating; whatever the fun thing that is outside is, it can wait." She said and folded her arms. Alvin rubbed the back of his head.

"Okay, maybe I got a little carried away, but please, just don't take all day." He said.

"Don't worry, Alvin; just be calm and relax. Brittany's right, besides, we have all day." May said.

"Okay, okay." Alvin said. "I'll calm down." The two smiled at each other. Brittany glanced at them and May, as if feeling her eyes on them, turned in Brittany's direction. However, Brittany quickly looked back down at her food before May could notice.

June pushed her plate away. "I'm done, too." She walked to the edge of the counter. "Can the four of us just go outside and wait for May and Brittany?" But Alvin still refused.

"Sorry, but no. Besides, there are rules when you get out there and we don't want to have to explain them twice." He said. June sighed and sat down. Suddenly, May stood up.

"I'm done, Alvin." She said. Alvin looked excited.

"Great, just you now, Brittany." He said. He heard the sound of the doggie-door flap. He saw Simon and Theodore's heads appeared in the doorway.

"Everything's a go outside, Alvin." Simon said, giving him a thumbs' up while Theodore nodded. June jumped down from the counter.

"Really? So can we go outside now?" she asked Simon.

"Is everyone done breakfast?" he asked.

"All except Brittany." She said. Jeanette, Eleanor, May, and September jumped down and were approaching them.

"Wrong! Brittany's done." They heard Brittany say. They turned around to see her and Alvin coming from the counter.

"Well then, let's go outside." Simon said, proceeding outside.

"This is gonna be great." Theodore said, following him. Alvin ran out in front of the girls. All six girls jumped through the slot after the boys. The Chipettes and Las Mes' eyes widened at what they saw.

There was what looked like an amusement park at first glance. However, after looking at it clearly, the girls clearly noticed that it was an obstacle course. They walked over to the boys.

"What's all of this for?" May asked. Alvin put an arm around May, causing her to blush.

"I'm glad you asked!" Alvin said. Simon face palmed. He moved pointed to the obstacle course. "This is what we will be doing today."

"Which is?" Brittany asked, not fully understanding. Alvin brought his other arm around Brittany, causing her to blush as well. Out of nervousness, she tried to look anywhere that wasn't directly towards Alvin's face. Alvin, being his cocky self, didn't seem to notice either girl's nervousness and went on talking.

"We are going to be competing in teams of three; The Chipmunks, Chipettes, and Las Mes, in an obstacle course tag-team race." He said.

"A what?" Brittany asked, finally facing him as he let his arms fall off of the girls' shoulders. He answered her like it was obvious.

"An obstacle course tag-team race." He said.

"Which is?" she asked. Alvin rolled his eyes.

"Oh please! Do girls know anything?" he asked out loud, making Brittany give him a "watch it, buster!" face.

"It's just what it's called." Simon interrupted; knowing what would happen if Alvin kept talking. "It's simply a race. The only thing about it is that you work as a team to complete it. And that you must go through this obstacle course," He explained.

The girls nodded. "That's one of the most creative things I've ever heard of." June said to Simon. The complement made Simon blush. He rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh, well, thanks. I didn't think of it by myself though." He said. Theodore walked over to him.

"But he did do most of it." He said. "He designed how it would look and…" he was interrupted.

"And all of the obstacles?" Brittany asked with folded arms. "Like does he know how to get through everything? Is he just gonna cheat for you guys?"

"On the contrary, just a while ago Claire came over and set everything up. She also didn't let us watch." Simon said. June smiled smugly.

"See? Simon wouldn't cheat." She said, and then smiled at him. He awkwardly smiled back.

"Uh, thanks June, but, it was only a misunderstanding." He said. "So, is everything clear to everyone?"

"Yeah!" Eleanor and September said.

"Mmm-hmm" Brittany replied with attitude.

"Yep" June and May said. Jeanette had been pretty quiet and didn't seem to be paying attention.

"Jeanette?" Simon asked. "Is everything all right?" she had been playing with her fingers, but snapped out of it.

"Oh! Yes, I understand." She said, slightly embarrassed. Simon didn't look so sure, but otherwise went on.

"Well…okay then. Anyway…" he began talking to Las Mes with Alvin and Theodore.

Meanwhile, Brittany and Eleanor went by Jeanette. "What's up, Jean?" Eleanor asked. "Somethin' botherin' you?" Jeanette shook her head, looking down.

"No, not really." She said softly. "It's just that…" Brittany interrupted her.

"That June, huh?" Jeanette slowly nodded. "He just really seems to like her."

"Don't let it distract you." Brittany told her. "Besides, Simon's just probably being himself; naturally nice." Jeanette smiled.

"Yeah, he is just naturally nice. You're probably right." She said.

"Of course I am." Brittany said as the boys approached them. Quickly, she whispered to her sisters.

"Besides, this race might be just what we need in terms of the Chipmunks." They grinned and turned to the Chipmunks.

"Okay girls, just like we told them, all have to do is go through the course. Think of it as the Olympics." Simon said.

"You'll have to work as a team, but some obstacles may be trickier than others." Theodore added. "You'll really have to use your brain!"

Brittany glared at him. "How do you know, did you go through it already? Examine it? Shame on you!" she scolded. Theodore looked nervous, but he replied. (Okay, sorry for interrupting your course of reading, but I just thought that it was funny that Brittany said "shame on you" because she actually did say that once to Theodore in the cartoon; which is the exact reason I put it in the story. So, yeah; a little reference. Please proceed…)

"N-No, that's just what Claire told me. I didn't see it; honest." He said. Brittany looked sympathetic.

"Well, okay, I believe you." She said. Theodore instantly brightened.

"Whooo…" he sighed, relived. It was not a good thing to have Brittany on your bad side, especially for a contest.

"Does it really matter if he saw it or not? We're going to win anyway." Alvin said. Brittany glared at him and wrinkled her nose.

"Alvin, that doesn't even make any sense!" she said.

"Yes it does!" he argued.

"Actually, Alvin, it doesn't" Simon said. Jeanette shook her head in agreement. Even Eleanor looked at Alvin in dismay at his stupidity. (He's not an idiot, but you gotta admit…)

"WHATEVER! We're gonna win!" he exclaimed. Las Mes appeared behind them.

"So, are we gonna start soon?" June asked.

"We're about to start right now." Alvin said. The three teams of chipmunks lined up at the starting line. The Chipmunks made one line, next to them were the Chipettes and Las Mes was on the other side of them. Alvin, Brittany, and May were side by side. Behind them were the tallest siblings. In the back row were the youngest siblings.

"Okay, because this is a tag-team race, all nine of us won't be running through at the same time. We'll all start back here, but when I say go, Brittany, May, and Alvin will begin going through the obstacle course." He turned to his left and then right.

"Jeanette and June, you two and I will run straight to the yellow slide and wait to be tagged." He said pointing.

"Okay." They said. Simon turned behind him.

"Now you three, will run to the yellow slide and turn left and go to the red tunnel where you will wait to be tagged."

"Okay!" the three said. Eleanor was so excited. She'd barely done anything recreational in a long time. As she thought about how much fun this would be, she felt someone tap on her shoulder.

It was September. "Hey Ellie, this'll be so fun, but go easy out there." She smiled. Eleanor looked confused.

"Go…easy?" she asked. September's expression turned sympathetic.

"Well, sorta. Don't push yourself too hard, but try your hardest!" she said. Eleanor still didn't get it, but otherwise agreed.

"Is everyone ready?" Simon asked. Everyone nodded.

"Okay, on the count of three…"Simon began. Everybody got on all fours.

"One…two…" Simon counted. Brittany, Alvin, and May stuck their tongues out of the side of their mouths, tasting victory.

"THREE!" Simon shouted; and all three groups ran out into the grass faster than they'd ever run before. Just as they were told, Jeanette and June, along with Simon ran to their respective areas. When they got there, they saw Eleanor, Theodore and September coming to go to their spots. They turned and stood at the tunnel.

Alvin, Brittany, and May were running through things and jumping over bars. Brittany was currently in the lead with May not too far behind. Brittany was jumping through hula hoops that were hanging by ropes. Brittany got her foot caught in a hoop and tripped. That gave Alvin and May a chance to catch up.

"COME ON, BRITTANY!" Jeanette called.

"GET UP!" Eleanor called, as well.

But Brittany didn't stay down too long and got right back up, continuing to jump through hoops. Alvin was right next to her.

"Wow…I didn't except you…to be this good," he said panting, ", but don't get your hopes up!" he said. Brittany eyed him.

"Oh please…I could do this with my eyes closed." She shot back. She kept up her pace ahead of Alvin and was almost at the slide to tag Jeanette when, all of a sudden, May sped in front of her and quickly and began jumping into tires.

Brittany was shocked and outraged. On the outside, because she didn't want to lose and on the inside because she felt that May was trying to out do her in front of Alvin. She picked up speed to catch up to May. All three chipmunks jumped in and out of the tires.

Jeanette, June, and Simon were waiting with their paws extended, ready to run. Brittany tried to re-pass up May, but couldn't. May tagged June's paw and she sped off. Not a full second later did Brittany tag Jeanette and Alvin tag Simon before they were speeding off after her.

June was climbing up the ladder like a squirrel up a tree. Simon was right behind her. Jeanette had a little trouble, being the klutzy girl that she was, but she didn't give up and eventually reached the top.

"GOOD GOING JEANETTE!" Brittany called.

"YOU CAN DO IT!" Eleanor backed up.

June and Simon were running through a huge set of Newton's balls; however, these were swinging left and right, waiting to be avoided. June and Simon, who'd reached them were dodging the huge swinging pendulums. Jeanette reached the bottom of the slide and was running through the Newton's balls now.

Simon was running, when suddenly, a swinging ball caught him off guard, slowing him down as he jumped back. Well of course, that threw him totally off and he just kept jumping and ducking to regain his footing.

"COME ON SIMON!" Alvin shouted.

"YOU TRY IT!" he called back. "This isn't easy!" he continued to move when he spotted June having the same trouble. He wanted to start moving again before she did. He thought he still had a chance before he saw it.

Jeanette.

She was whisking through the obstacle as if it were just walking. She seemed to move at just the right time; jumping, ducking, she'd passed them both up.

"YEAH, JEANETTE!" Brittany screamed.

"KEEP IT UP!" Eleanor called.

June suddenly lay on her back and seemed to be waiting. She was looking at the moving pendulums and suddenly jumped up, did a back flip onto a swinging pendulum, which caught Simon's eye, and jumped from pendulum to pendulum until she landed slightly behind Jeanette. Out of the corner of her eye, Jeanette noticed June and knew that she had to speed up.

"YEAH, JUNE!" May cheered.

"YOU DA MAN!" September yelled.

"I'm a girl!" June called back, picking up speed.

Simon had finally regained his footing and was speeding after the girls.

Jeanette knew that June would probably catch up so she had a plan; she might not have to out speed her, but she would need to be able to out obstacle her.

Now there were holes in the ground that the three would have to jump in and out of, just like the tires, except that the holes were slightly harder to get out of because of the sliding dirt. Jeanette, Simon, and June were now tied.

Jeanette's plan was working so far. She wasn't faster than June, but her legs were stronger, allowing her to jump higher and farther. June was having to claw at the dirt, trying to prevent herself from sliding down. Simon was doing like Jeanette, but he didn't have legs as nearly as strong as she did.

Jeanette and Simon had finished jumping out of the holes and were now running through poles to reach Theodore and Eleanor at the red tunnel. June was right behind them.

Alvin: COME ON, SIMON!

Theodore: YOU'RE ALMOST THERE!

Brittany: SPEED UP, GIRL!

Eleanor: HURRY!

September: VRROOMM VVRROOMM!

May: YOU'RE DOIN GREAT!

June had passed Simon up and had trying to pass Jeanette up, who was panting worriedly. Just before June could tag September, she tripped, and Jeanette tagged Eleanor, who sped off like a bullet. Simon then tagged Theodore, who ran after Eleanor to finish the race. June got up and tagged September who ran off, too.

Now, Theodore had to be the least athletic one out there. September had already passed him up. However, he didn't give up and kept going.

September had caught up to Eleanor.

"Hi Ellie, you're really good at running. You're way faster than I expected. Anyways, if you feel tired, you can always stop, there's nothing to be ashamed of." She smiled and ran ahead leaving a very confused Eleanor still running.

September had run through the red tunnel and was headed to the monkey bars. Eleanor sped after her, trying to catch up. Theodore was running after them as fast as he could.

All three reached the monkey bars and September was already swinging from them, however, she underestimated Eleanor, who'd caught up to her and passed her up.

"THAT'S RIGHT, ELLIE!" Brittany called.

"YEAH!" Jeanette called.

"COME ON SEPTEMBER!" May called.

"SPEED IT UP!" June called.

"THEODORE, GET IT TOGETHER MAN!" both Alvin and Simon called.

"I'm trying!" he responded. He didn't expect to be better than Eleanor and figured he probably wouldn't beat September either, but he didn't give up, for Alvin's sake.

Eleanor landed on the ground and had to swim across an inflated pool. She jumped in and immediately began swimming. September jumped in after her and was, amazingly, a good swimmer. In fact, she was excellent; she passed Eleanor in about thirty seconds, shook off and jumped off the side of the pool. She ran to the last obstacle, hurdles.

Eleanor jumped out and didn't even waste time shaking off. She just ran towards the hurdles and began jumping over them.

It was September and Eleanor, heading for the finish, jumping over the hurdles. Theodore swam over to the edge of the pool and watched the two girls.

May: RUN! RUN!

June: YOU GOT THIS!

Jeanette: ELLIE!

Brittany: COME ON!

September began doing front flips to jump the hurdles. Eleanor watched in amazement at the black chipmunk in front of her, flipping as if it were as easy as standing. Eleanor kept up and September started back flipping.

They were head to head…

Neck to neck…

When there were only two hurdles left, September did another back flip, which put hr ahead of Eleanor. She flipped once more and crossed the finish line.

Las Mes'd won.

Eleanor panted as she tumbled over the finish line. Las Mes jumped into a group hug. At that moment Theodore finally crossed the finish line.

Jeanette and Brittany helped Eleanor up. She dusted herself off and hung her head.

"I'm sorry I lost." She apologized. Jeanette patted her head.

"It's okay; you were great, spectacular even." Brittany nodded.

"You were really close to winning; don't beat yourself up over it." Eleanor smiled.

"We all did great!" she said and hugged her sisters. They turned around to see The Chipmunks congratulating Las Mes.

"Wow!" Alvin said, "That was amazing. You guys were awesome!"

Simon was talking to June. "Yeah, and how you actually used the pendulum to get you across the rest of that obstacle was amazing!" June was very flustered and blushed.

"Wha- well, thanks, Simon. But anyone would probably have thought of doing that." She said. But Simon shook his head.

"Well, I wouldn't have. That was brilliant." He said, and again June blushed.

Theodore was talking to September. "Yeah, that was amazing; I had no idea you could swim that fast." September also blushed.

"Oh Theodore, that's so nice of you to say; aren't you a sweetie!" she said and he blushed.

"Well, you were pretty amazing. I mean, clearing hurdled with flips? Incredible!" he said.

May turned to Alvin, who said, "I had no idea how fast you were. In fact, all three of you were spectacular!" he said May blushed just like her sisters.

"You boys are too nice." She said, flustered. The Chipettes approached them.

The Chipmunks then went over to them. "You were great, too." Alvin said.

"Jeanette, I didn't know that you could jump so high or far." Simon said, making Jeanette blush.

"Eleanor, you were as athletic as ever." Theodore said and Eleanor smiled and blushed slightly.

"Thanks." She giggled.

"Brittany, gotta admit, you rocked." Alvin said. She tried not to blush in front of him.

"Well, whatever. Thanks I guess." She said, secretly happy.

The Chipmunks turned back to Las Mes. "Well let's all go back inside and eat a victory meal!" Simon suggested. Las Mes agreed. "Okay let's go!" May said.

As they began walking back toward the house, Alvin tuned to the Chipettes.

"Come on, you too." He said and turned back to May. "So tell me how you became so fast." He said.

"And how did you calculate when to jump?" Simon asked June.

"And teach me how to flip like that!" Theodore told September. All six walked towards the house.

None seemed to notice the Chipettes lagging behind; all of their momentary happiness drained.

"Jean, you were right; they do really seem to like them." Brittany said, sadly, with her arms around her sisters' shoulders.

"More than us..."


I'm once again really sorry for this long wait. I mean, it was like a month and 2 days since I last updated. When school ends on May 27th, the story will be updated quicker, I promise.

If I didn't think that the last chapter was the worst, I would think this one was. First of all, originally this was supposed to be an obstacle course scavenger hunt, but I changed it because I'd have to think up a list of things to find and clues and it'd just be too much and it would take too long so I changed it to a race instead. That's also why it took so long.

I otherwise hope you enjoyed this chapter.
