Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Livin life on the Wild Side

Chapter Nine

untitled

Summary-By the work of beginner author, that's me, please welcome my Portuguese couple; Carlos and Gabriela. It took me a while to look up nice names for them in a Portuguese name list, but it was worth it.

Disclaimer-I do not own anything

Author's NOTE-I apologise for my sluggish updating. School is being a drag for me at the moment.

Yes, to Theodore and Eleanor's delight, a feast has been prepared to welcome the group back into the tribe. But what has one devilish Portuguese female got in store for the big 'A'? Will this be one long trip down heartbreak lane? She does know the two certain reds chipmunks have been put together, right?

Well, read to find out!

"Oh my gosh! Alvin! Brittany! There you are, finally!" Theodore and Eleanor, squealing and panting in exhaustion, cut a tight corner of a nearby tree and finally caught up with their eldest siblings-well, colliding with them in the process. Ears perking up, Alvin and Brittany whirled around, before suddenly doubling over with two balls of fur, cutting in between scattered groups of wild chipmunks as they did so.

"Whoa!"

"Hey!"

"What the.."

"Sweet mother of Jefferson Davis! Did you guys see a ghost or something?"

Alvin picked himself off the ground and grabbed his brother's paw, hoisting him up as well. Theodore immediately clung to his arm, his whole body shivering and his teeth chattering. "Worse! Much worse!" Theodore exclaimer through gritted teeth.

"The boogieman?"

"...No..."

"Johny?"

"...no"

"...Ian?"

"What? No, I saw the Rowdyruff boys-well, one of them but..."

"The Rowdyruff boys? Honestly Theodore, do me a favour and stop being a baby? You're like what, fifteen?"

"But-"

Alvin pried his brother's claws from his arm, sat him down and frowned into his eyes. "Theo! Two words; shut-up, alright?" Theodore nodded silently, finally beginning to calm down. Alvin gave him a smile. "Good. Now tell me, what exactly did you see?"

"And more importantly, why exactly was it such a sight that you had to ruin what was left of my outfit?" Brittany frowned at herself-her blood stained tee, now muddy skirt and whatnot-before shifting her frown towards her little sister, who was propped up by her elbows in mud. The green clad chipette chuckled sheepishly.

Alvin rolled his eyes at his counterpart. Why did I have to be stuck with this Drama Queen? He thought with disgust, a fraction of his mind beginning to space out for some reason as he looked at her. Brittany huffed. "What? Do I really look that bad that all of you have to stare at me?" She asked dramatically, as she tried to best to dust off most of the already dried up mud across her 'I'm so gorgeous it's illegal' tee. Pfft! What a working progress that was. "Urgh! This isn't working!"

Eleanor pulled herself out of the mud and she too began clearing off the mess on her clothes. "It isn't really that bad, Brittany." She said, as she shook the mud from her bangs. She didn't notice it flung over Brittany's tee, which she only just managed to clean off. "At least it wasn't one of your most expensive outfits you have."

Brittany growled and was suddenly only inches from her sister's face. She clenched her fists at her side and replied austerely. "This, Eleanor, so happened to be the only outfit I have left! Since somebody ruined them all by spoiling our flight to Beverly Hills-Which is by the way so happens be my first international tour! Oh, whoopee, I don't really give a damn if I'm butt naked and prancing around making myself look stupid! Oh really? I thought someone as intelligent as you would notice that you're making a complete fool of yourself!" She wailed like a broken record until Eleanor dragged her off to find the nearest water source, while a fraction of herself seemed to be searching for the chipmunk's parents.

As the girls left, Alvin's eyes followed the back of Brittany's head. Part of her hair had slicked upwards, making it look like a Mohawk. He chuckled to himself. I so can't wait until she sees that. He sighed and turned back towards Theodore, who was already busy shaking off the access mud from his hoodie. "So, how's your nest going on?" He asked randomly, trying to start a conversation.

Theodore smiled and slapped at his sweater. "Yeah it's cool." He said simply but happily. Alvin couldn't help but laugh, drawing his little brother's attention. "What is it?" He asked.

Alvin scrunched up his nose and shrugged. "Oh, its nothing. I just thought of something random." He too began to clean off his clothing.

Theodore playfully rolled his eyes, getting onto all fours and shaking himself vigorously. "I see." He giggled.

Alvin smiled and draped an arm over his little brother's shoulders, as he began to lead him in the opposite direction of where their counterpart's went. "Hm, well, we better get going then, I heard there's this massive feast our parents put together for us." He practically hissed mocking delight into Theodore's ear, causing the little chipmunk to shiver and lick his lips in hunger.

"Oh I can't wait." Theodore smirked, until he suddenly realised something-or someone was missing. He looked around. "But where did Eleanor and Brittany go?" He asked.

Alvin gave his shoulders a comforting squeeze. "Don't worry about that, Theo. I'm sure Brittany has told Eleanor everything about it by now." He said, as they passed a group of twelve male chipmunks playing soccer with an acorn. They played pretty good, which sparked Alvin's interest, as he dropped his arm from Theodore's shoulders and began to make his way towards the group.

A rather tall, tanned and muscular chipmunk had the 'ball' juggling from head to toe, kicking and passing it like a pro. He looked slightly Native American, but in other features Brazilian-very much Brazilian. But just as he was about to scissor kick it for a goal between two trees, when he caught sight of Alvin approaching him and the group, his little green brother trailing nervously behind him. He dropped the 'ball' and passed it to another chipmunk, before waving the red clad chipmunk over-in which Alvin enthusiastically obliged to.

"Hey, you must be the newbie from way back. I've heard all about you, your parents wouldn't shut up about you and your brothers." The chipmunk seemed friendly, and with that Alvin took his chances. He gave the chipmunk fist2fist.

"Oh yeah, and...you are?" He asked, as Theodore swallowed his courage and joins him, but still looking rather precautious.

The chipmunk smiled. "Oh, where are my manners?" He chuckled, "Im Carlos-just Carlos. How did you get saddled with the surname, Seville?"

Alvin shrugged. "Long story short, my brothers and I were taken in by a human, got a career in singing and met a trio of beautiful young..." He slapped himself before he could say the rest. Where did that come from?

Carlos looked at him strangely. "...Beautiful young, what?"

Alvin smiled sheepishly. "Don't worry about it." He replied quickly, before attempting to change the subject. But it looked as though Carlos did it for him.

"Anyways..." He sighed, as he peered over Alvin's shoulder. The red clad chipmunk looked on curiously. "...I'm surprised you aren't being followed by your mate, nor your little brother over there."

Theodore smiled a little. "Oh, Ellie? She's taking Alvin's mate to get cleaned off." Alvin's eyes widened at this, and he all of a sudden began to feel himself go numb and genuinely stunned. Theodore ignored his brother's look. "The both of them were covered in mud so, yeah."

Carlos smirked. "Fascinating...Isn't that the mate's responsibility?" He asked, before his ears instantaneously perked up at the sound of his name being called. "Oh! I gotta bounce-see you two later!" And with that he left with haste, Alvin and Theodore alone in the middle of a soccer match.

Alvin grabbed Theodore's arm and scurried out of the way of the flying acorn, passing the clearing all together in the direction of Brittany and Eleanor. "Know when to keep your mouth shut, Theo!" I guess they had their search pretty well confirmed in about 5...4...3...2...

"Ah, just the person I wanted to see." Alvin grabs Brittany by the waist and pulls her into a tight hug. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Carlos ogling towards them from a distance, his arms curled around a short, slender female chipmunk, her glossy burgundy coloured fur glistening in the peeking sunlight.

Brittany's paws eased in between her and Alvin, shoving him away from her with a firm push against his chest. "What are you doing?" She demanded irately, seeming rather confused about what just happened.

Alvin's facial expression suddenly turned to hysteric, as his paw swiftly came into contact with his counterpart's mouth, ceasing her to speak clearly. "Shhh!" He hushed her frantically. He looked down into her firm, ice blue eyes and sighed. "I'll tell you later, okay?"

Brittany gave Alvin a muffled growl, as she pushed his paw away. "That's no excuse..." But she was cut off as he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her away, calling Theodore and Eleanor along with them.

"Oh would you look at the time!" Alvin exclaimed melodramatically. "I guess we should get going to that feast and meet up with the other two!"

As the group left, back near the clearing Carlos and the female watched them with sharp, suspicious eyes. "Does the boy in red look familiar to you in anyway, Gabriela?" Carlos asked slyly. The female narrowed her hazel eyes towards the not yet officially known red clad chipmunk, before giving a short satisfied sigh.

"Redemption, babe." Was all she said. "Redemption."

"Simon, Jeanette! You're alive! It's a miracle!" Simon and Jeanette looked up from their pleasant, subtle, yet romantic conversation to find the rest of their group approaching their reserved table log at the precisely the heart of the forest-is what the both of them predicted. There were so many activities going on around them more than anywhere else.

Simon rolled his steely blue eyes at Alvin's smug little greeting, after an hour of isolation, before answering. "Oh yeah, what luck." His sarcasm spilt from his lips and his eldest brother chuckled.

Alvin draped an arm over his shoulder and sighed. "We thought we lost you two for a moment there." He said. Brittany hobbled over towards them and rolled her eyes as well. Typical Alvin, she thought, slipping out a small giggle as she sat cross-legged along the log. Alvin smirked. "You saved me a stroke, ma brother."

Simon shook his arm off, grunting in annoyance.

Theodore and Eleanor finally caught up, chatting away to each other as they did so. "Do you think Soron-I mean dad will let us perform tonight, Ellie?" Theodore asked his counterpart in excitement.

Eleanor smiled. "I hope so." She said. "Enlightening everybody with our passion for singing will be so great."

"You got that right, El." Brittany chipped in. The pink clad chipette threw her arms in the air and sighed in contentment. "Strobelights shimmering above me-I mean us, crowds screaming, music pounding, sight blinding..." she trailed off elatedly.

Jeanette cocked an eyebrow at her eldest sister and added in a slight defensive manner. "Well Brittany, all of those prerequisites are great, but what really brightens the skill of an artist is the heart and soul, and the love you present to the world. Its-"

"-It's one of the the most fulfilling of all talents, I know I know, you told me what, a thousand times before Jean. I get it." Brittany rudely cut in.

Jeanette sighed and turned back to Simon, who just shrugged his shoulders and whispered. "Hormonal adjustment process I'm thinking. It doesn't seem to be working though..."

Brittany shot the blue clad chipmunk a glare. "I am not hormonal!" She snapped. Alvin burst into a fit of laughter. "What!"

Still continuing his fit, Alvin plopped himself down beside his counterpart and gave her a failed attempted at a kind pat on the back. "Chillax Brit." He chuckled. "We're not accusing you of anything." Brittany's paw connected to the back of his head and he gagged, continuing to laugh.

"I can't see what's so funny." Brittany growled, as she folded her arms across her chest with a pout. Alvin leaned over behind her and then, without warning, laughed even harder and slipped off the log, hitting the ground with a thud.

"Turn...around so...everyone...can see!" Alvin wheezed, as he clutched his chest, desperate for breath. Brittany seemed confused at first, but her urge to know what triggered his fit dawned over her, and she complied.

Eleanor choked back laughter. "Um, Brit." She giggled. "I think you missed a spot of mud at the back of your head."

Instantly, Brittany's paws covered the back section of her head and began to search for the spot of mud. "Oh!" She whined. "Where is it guys! Guys!"

Simon rolled his eyes once again. "Brittany, go get washed up." He said sternly. "You do know how rude it is to not be clean for a family meal, right?"

Brittany turned towards the blue clad chipmunk and shot him a firm glare. "What are you, my mother?"

"Just do it."

Brittany gave him one last scowl, before slinking off towards the stream she and Eleanor found on their search. Alvin pulled himself up and gave a groan. "Killjoy!" He whined. Simon ignored him and turned back to Jeanette.

"Stupid Alvin, Simon, and that, that crew!" Still continuing to sulk, Brittany approached the edge of the bank and slowly came down to her knees and frowned into the reflection in the crystal clear water. "Might as well join a band of nutcase squirrels!"

"Hey there!" A second face suddenly appeared in the water, causing Brittany to flinch and whirl round, her eyes instantly a female chipmunk smiling down at her.

"Can I help you?" The pink clad chipette asked rather brashly, as she pulled herself to her feet, her paw wrapping around her stitched waist as she did so. The tingle in the wound still lingered, but the oozing ceased, which gave her some relief.

The female chipmunk gave a friendly grin and said. "Oh, I was just observing the connection between you and your mate back near the clearing. You two seem a little tense around each other..."

Brittany's eyes widened at this, and she abruptly cut in. "Oh no no no no!" She exclaimed. "He and I are not mated! It just apparently applies to his parents that I'm the one, that I belong to him, that can't have any hindrance with any other guy in this-no offence-hell hole! I want to go back to Los Angeles and I want to go back home! Now!" She folded her arms over her chest and pouted.

"I see." The female said simply. "So where is this Los Angeles? Is it another tribe?"

Brittany eyes her incredulously. "Are you like completely mental?" She exclaimed vividly. The female seemed a little taken aback by her sudden burst of act, and she took a small step back to avoid being accidently hit in the face as Brittany's arms flailed about. "Los Angeles is one great big city me and my sisters live at! Loads of humans drop by just to get autographs by us, we're fricken famous!"

"Wait wait wait! Humans? You mean you've seen them up close?" The female asked.

"Yes!" Brittany replied. "Our music producer is human, and-"

"-That must explain the odd lack of cleavage." The female interrupted thoughtfully. She held out her paw towards Brittany for her to shake. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Gabriela."

"Brittany." Brittany replied brashly. "Brittany Seville."

Gabriela cocked an eyebrow at her new acquaintance, seemingly bewildered. "Seville?" She asked curiously. "Where did you get that?"

Brittany smiled. "Alvin, his brothers and their so called 'father' took me and my sisters in after being rescued by our former music producer. It's a long story, wouldn't want to bore you about it anyway." The pink clad chipette gave a sigh and turned back towards her reflection in the stream. "But I have to get going now." She explained. "Gotta get cleaned up before our big break starts."

Gabriela nodded in agreement. "Me too, I guess." She said. "My mate is waiting for me to return anyway. See you later then. Bye." And with that the chipette bounded off into the midst of the gradually departing crowd, leaving Brittany alone to wash up.

The pink clad chipette scoffed and came down to her knees again. She splashed water against her face and behind her head, instantly feeling where Eleanor had described to have missed. "Why didn't she tell me before we got back?" She asked herself, as she turned and retreated towards her group.

Gabriela watched her leave, safely and unnoticed. It wasn't long before Carlos had joined her up above in her hiding place, checking in on her report. "She has got something to do with the humans I have heard." She said quietly. "Maybe she can replenish our defence against our problem."

Carlos gave her a sly smile. "Indeed."

Theodore sat back from the now empty walnut full of blueberries and nuts, patting his treated stomach in content. "Those berries were delicious, mom!" He exclaimed cheerily. "The best I've ever tasted."

Vinny looked up from her 'bowl' and gave her son a smile. "Why thank you, Teddy." She replied. She gestures towards a group of chipmunks stuffing themselves with their food at the next table log, giggling to herself as she did so. "Our food is always harvested by our most qualified foragers in this area."

Eleanor plopped her last grape into her mouth and leant against her counterpart, licking her lips for any access flavour. "You said it, Teddy." She said happily. Theodore blushed absentmindedly and she giggled.

Alvin played with the last of his food and asked. "Are we there yet?" Brittany gave him a playful shove and giggled.

"Alvin!" She snapped light-heartedly, as her counterpart sat back against the log beside her. He rolled his eyes at her and tossed the nut in his mouth, chewing it quickly, and then swallowing it.

Jeanette smiled and passed her 'bowl' away into the middle of the log. "Well, I'm glad we met the chipmunk's parents." She said quietly. Simon leaned forward and lovingly stroked her paw, making her blush. "It's nice to get to know the rest of your family."

"Let's not forget though, Jeanette." Alvin chipped in curtly, as he scooted closer to the edge of the table log. He reached over and pulled a loose twig from a branch and twirled it around between his fingers. "All of this was an accident. Our plane went haywire, it coincidently crash landed here, we met our parents, and now Dave is going to have a heart attack cause his best group is missing."

Soron and Vinny looked on quietly, supposedly offended by their eldest son's remark. "Well, uh..." Soron began, as he shifted uneasily in his sitting position. "Well, it was still a pleasure to finally be able to see you three after all of these years." He said.

Vinny nuzzled his shoulder and finished. "We have missed you like you would not believe...and your mates make this special reunion even more precious."

Alvin looked up from his twig and started. "Yeah...about that. We-" But before he could finish, Brittany clamped his mouth shut with her paw, while giving his parents a nervous smile.

"We are honoured." She said quickly, as her counterpart slapped her paw away from his face.

Off into to the east, most of the sunset had darkened, as night began to envelope the forest. Vinny smiled up at the brightening moon and turned back towards the rest of the group, clasping her paws together as she did so. "Night is approaching." She said. "Which means its time for all of you to hit the hay. We have a big day planned for you by morning. Now, off you trot!"

Surprisingly, Alvin was first to make a move, and he skittled off, sulking. "Can hardly wait." He mumbled, as Brittany set off to follow him.

"Goodnight guys!" She called to her sisters as she disappeared into the shadow of the forest. Jeanette and Eleanor waved them off.

"C'mon guys, let's go."
