When we last left our heros, they were going to adventure out into the mysterious land of dating.
Alvin and Brittany had decided to go clubbing and see a movie. Simon and Jeanette were going to an Italian restaurant then for a walk through the park. The littlest chipmunks, Theodore and Eleanor had planned on visiting a new place on the bad side of town (they don't know what's in store for them)
And now we join Simon and Jeanette as they adventure into their date. Tally ho!
"Thanks for asking me out here, Simon," Jeanette said across the candle lit table. The setting was a little cheesy, a checkered tablecloth on a round table, a violinist playing in the background as they stared into each other's eyes.
"It was my pleasure, truly."
"I wonder how the others are doing?" Jeanette asked rhetorically.
"I'm certain they're fine, Jeanette. I asked you here so that we could get away from prying eyes," to emphasise his point, Simon reached across the table and took both her hands in his, "I just wanted it to be us tonight."
Jeanette was again surprised by Simon's forwardness, he wasn't as shy as she but he didn't usually go around trying to get alone time with her. In fact, Jeanette thought that Simon was becoming more and more masculine, more… powerful the longer she "dated" him.
Brittany, again, was right, girls and relationships can change guys.
But maybe it changed girls too, she thought. I mean, Brittany wouldn't have dreamed of going to a scary movie, or giggling at Alvin's flirts before. But now that they were dating… Jeanette would do more research when she got back to a computer.
All she did in response to Simon's speech was smile a bit and blush.
Brittany jumped like a rabbit at a shooting range during the movie. She and Alvin just kept getting closer and closer with each passing minute. It seemed as if they were one person, sharing the same body, by the end of it.
Alvin had a fun time, he was doing pretty good on the romantic front if he could say so himself. Brittany was practically glued to his arm when they left the theatre and he had gotten in more then a couple smooches.
With one part of the night done, and only a little relief from his addiction that was Brittany Miller, Alvin wasn't even closed to finished yet.
"I don't know about this, Theo," Eleanor said, staring at the back alley joint selling cinnamon buns by the dozen. Theodore had desperately wanted to check this establishment off of his resumé, but it looked like Eleanor was scared.
If she was scared, Theo knew to be scared. "Ok Ellie," he said, comforting her, "We don't have to go in. Let's just take a walk."
"I don't think that's such a good idea either," Eleanor said under her breath. She could already see dangerous looking men coming out of the woodwork.
"Teddy bear," she said, a nickname she had chosen for him, "Let's go."
As Simon and Jeanette walked out of the restaurant after paying for the delicious meal. Simon was thinking about a) how beautiful Jeanette looked tonight, b) how he had to thank Theodore for recommending the place to eat and c) what was that guy in the trench coat and big brimmed hat staring at?
Alvin was walking Brittany through the square, a block down from where Si had brought Jeanette for dinner. Maybe he should go and ask if they wanted to come with them. It was karaoke night and they all loved to sing.
But then a man caught his eye. A man in a trench coat and a large brimmed hat. He simply stared at the lovemunks making their way through the deserted street. What's his problem? Thought Alvin.
Probably just looking at my stunning cream puff (yes they do have weird names for each other, shut up). But even in the middle of the night, the man wore a brimmed hat to keep the light out of his eyes and a trench coat that looked absolutely stifling. They were just a block away from the square though. If he tried anything, Eleanor would scream and someone would hear them.
Jeanette didn't even seem to blink when the man rushed at Simon. He let out a half alarmed "Wha-?" Before the man was atop him, punching.
Alvin felt the man coming more then saw him. He jumped straight at Alvin and swung with a hard right. Unlike Simon, Alvin had been in fights before. He moved with the punch, not taking much of the force, but even a fraction of the strength packed a wallop.
Eleanor was screaming, the man held onto the front of Theodore's shirt and had already delivered a punch into the stomach. It hurt, but Theo had to stay up, he had to make sure that Ellie would be ok.
Alvin dodged another swing, Brittany staring on in shock. This wasn't a mugging, no threat, no requests, just an old fashioned beat down. Another swing and Alvin stepped aside, throwing another whack to the man's temple.
That was the third shot Alvin had sent into the guy, he hadn't even sent the man's hat askew. The guy didn't flinch, nor did he give any sign of slowing down. He faked with another hook to Alvin's jaw but actually followed through with a kick into his gut. Alvin's breath rushed out of him and he doubled over. In a fight the guy would've paused and let Alvin get up.
This fight had no honor. The mysterious man brought both fists down on the back of Alvin's head and knocked him unconscious.
Theodore had withstood a tremendous beating, his face had gone numb and breathing hurt more then suffocation. But Theo had to stay up. He had to make sure Ellie was safe. Ellie… she was still screaming. Yelling her head off for help. She was safe. Theodore had to keep her that way. Had to… keep her… safe.
Blow after blow had sent Theodore out of consciousness. When the police showed up, the man was gone. Simon was unconscious, Alvin was waking up. But not a single mark had befallen the girls. The girls were fine.
Anyway, thanks for reading, take just another second to review, it means a lot to me. What does everyone think is going to happen? Don't you just hate mysteries?
