Hey hey!

Sorry for not updating…but I'll try my best to keep a consistent update date….

Anyway…this chapie should be an interesting one (hint hint)

Everyone belongs to their respective owner

Read On!

"Guys, we're here!"

Everyone looked to where Jessi was pointing, and they saw a humongous building that looked like it was an abandoned factory.

"Is this it?" questioned Kylie.

"Yep… this is my uncle's place...he should be expecting us, come on"

Jessi scurried towards the building, and was shortly followed by the others. They shortly reached the entrance, where there was a human and chipmunk sized door.

"Um Jess, why are there two doors?" asked Tom

"You'll see"

See grabbed a set of keys from out of her pack and unlocked the door, revealing a completely empty room. Everyone looked around, marveling at the giant room in front of them.

"Uncle Stew?" called Jessi, "Uncle Stew, we're here!"

"Hold on, all be out in a sec."

All the chipmunks, except Jessi, were surprised at the voice they heard. It wasn't nearly as high pitched as theirs, it almost sounded human!

Quincy walked up to Jessi, "Uh Jess, what does this uncle of yours look like?"

"Well if isn't little messi Jessi in the flesh!" They all turned and saw something that they definitely weren't expecting…

A man, about 5ft 7, stood gazing down on them. His hair was a messy dirty brown, and his skin was a pasty cream color, and his eyes were emerald blue.

"He's a- a-"

"Uncle Stew!" Jessi ran up and climbed up his body so she could give him a hug. When she released, the others were still staring at Stew in amazement.

"Jess, are your friends okay?" he asked.

Brittany was the first to speak up, "oh… uh sorry, it's just there hasn't been a human sighting since before the war started."

Stew leaned down, "Its cool guys…so, are you gonna introduce yourselves?"

Everyone told Stew everything he needed to know about them, and he to them, then he suddenly remembered.

"Oh yeah, guys I want you to meet someone."

"Is it another human?" Theodore asked.

"Nope, he's my new chipmunk apprentice…. Jake, come out here!"

A chipmunk appeared from around the corner and stood in front of the gang. His fur was a dirty blond a little darker than Theodore's, and his eyes were a steely gray. He was wearing a black jacket and an orange tee-shirt.

He looked at the group, and his eyes stopped on a certain pink-clad chipette. Brittany noticed and her face turned a pale white.

Jake smirked at her, "Nice to see you again Brittany."

"I wish I could say the same for you Jake." She simply mumbled back.

"You guys know each other?" Simon said.

"Unfortunately."

Eleanor stepped forward, "I knew I've seen you before, you used to be Brittany's boyfriend!"

"HER WHAT!?" everyone turned, and saw Alvin, with a face as red as his shirt. He realized that all eyes were on him, so he slyly fixed himself back to his 'I don't care about anything' attitude.

"He USED to be… until he practically ripped my heart out, tore it into little pieces, threw it on the ground, and then did a Mexican hat dance on it."

"Mexican hat dance?" Lizzy repeated.

"Uh anyway," Stew said trying to change the subject, "Let me show you where you'll be staying."

He led them to a hallway that had 6 chipmunk-sized doors on each side.

"You can all have your own room, and you can decorate however you want."

"Really?" Kylie asked

Stew chuckled, "Really. Well, I'll leave you all to settle in, dinner is at 5."

The 12 chipmunks all said thank you and went off to choose their rooms…

…

Somewhere in the shadow realm…

"Jake, progress report."

"All of the chipmunks are here sir, and the human is still under my control"

"What about the girl?"

"Well sir, she's very stubborn, but it wont take me long to get her to fall for me again.

"Good. Keep up the good work. You are getting more progress than Cole ever did."

"Thank you sire."

Back at the training Facility…

Lizzy was in her room, humming a familiar tune to herself as she put away her things. Then there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" she called.

"Tom."

Lizzy started to panic. She looked at herself in the mirror and fixed her hair. Then, she sat on her bed and grabbed a book and pretended to read.

"Come in"

He slowly walked into the room with a guilty look on his face, "Um… I just came to tell you that we were about to get some training in before dinner and we all wanted to know if you wanted to come."

"Uh sure." she replied as if she wasn't paying attention.

Tom sighed and closed the door behind him. He then sat dangerously close to her.

"Can we talk?"

Lizzy's stomach dropped, "I can't right now, I'm really trying to finish this book."

Tom grabbed the book from out her hand then threw it across the room

"You can finish it later."

"Fine, what do you want to talk about?"

Tom let out another sigh, "I wanna talk about what happened the other day…"

Lizzy felt like throwing up, and just the thought of what happened made her feel like crying again.

"What about it?" she tried to maintain her attitude towards him.

"Um… well I… you see…"

Was he getting choked up? Over her? Tom, just like Alvin, has never been at a loss for words, but something was changing that inside him.

"Why can't I just tell her the truth?" he thought "I mean, what's wrong with me? With any other girl this would have been the easiest thing in the world. Wait…she's not any other girl…"

"Tom, I don't have all day."

He snapped out of his trance, and then he finally spoke up.

"Liz, I think your… sorta cool. And some people might say that… in a certain light…you actually kinda… cute…"

Lizzy's blush deepened, "Kinda?"

Tom stared into her eyes, and he felt a sudden burst of courage, "No Liz, you are the most beautiful girls I've ever seen in my whole life. And I am so sorry that I made you cry. I felt so guilty about it ever since it happened. And I promise to you that as long as I love you, I will never do something like that to you again."

"Love?"

He smiled and moved closer, "Yeah Liz, I love you, more than anything on this earth."

Lizzy was smiling like an idiot when she heard that, "Oh Tom, I love you too!"

The two embraced in a warm hug. Once it was over, they leaned in and gave each other a kiss on the lips. Their kisses started to get more passionate, and Tom slid his hand up her shirt. She then leaned back, causing him to rest on top of her.

And we all know what happened next….

In the main training hall, all of the munks, except for Tom and Lizzy, were practicing their own unique skills.

Brittany was practicing on some dummies on the far side of the room. She had her headphones on high listening to hard metal which got her blood flowing.

She was standing in the middle with her eyes closed, but as soon as the first dummy popped up, they shot opened, and she threw a ball of fire at it, turning it completely into ash. Another dummy came, and Brittany kicked her leg up, and more fire engulfed the next dummy.

She continued this process, knocking down every obstacle in her way. Once all of them were gone, she turned her music off. Then suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Brittany grabbed the hand, hand pulled it over her shoulder, and making the munk who did it fly over her shoulder. Then she saw who it was…

"Oh my goodness, Alvin are you alright?"

Alvin moaned, "Oh yeah, this pile of ash broke my fall."

She extended her hand for him to grab, then lifted the shadow munk onto his feet.

"I didn't even hear you."

Alvin smirked, "Britt, I'm a shadow, what do you expect?"

Brittany giggled, "What do you want Alvin?"

"I just came to see what you were up to, I finished my training and I got bored, and you were the first thing on my mind so…."

"I was?" she asked.

"Yep."

There was an awkward silence between the two, then he remembered the real reason he came over.

"So Jake… he's your ex?"

"Oh yeah… don't you remember? I told you about him when we were little… when we kissed."

Then he remembered, "I knew that name sounded familiar! No wonder I had a bad feeling about him."

"What do you mean?"

Alvin whispered to make sure no one heard, "I can tell a liar from a mile away Britt, and he is definitely one."

She looked confused at first, and then she smirked at him, "I see what this is. You're jealous of Jake."

"What?!"

"You are totally jealous of him just because he's my ex."

"I AM NOT!"

"Yes you are… but there really isn't any point of being jealous though, I mean, you're acting like me and you dating or something."

Alvin looked, "I thought we were…"

Brittany sighed and pulled him off to a corner so no one would hear her, "Look Alvin…neither one of us has OFFICIALLY said anything about dating… and with all that's going on, I really don't think I can be in a relationship right now. Do you understand?"

He looked down at the floor, "Yeah… I understand…"

Brittany gave him an awkward half smile, and then walked away, leaving him to his thoughts…

Meanwhile, Kylie was looking all over for her older brother, who mysteriously disappeared after he had promised to help her train. She went around, asking everyone if they had seen him, but they all said they haven't. Kylie was starting to run out of options.

Maybe Lizzy knows, she thought.

She walked down the hallway with all of their rooms until she reached Lizzy's. Kylie heard some weird noises coming from the inside, and she thought she heard her brother…

On the inside, Tom and Lizzy were still on Lizzy's bed, but completely naked, still only kissing passionately. Tom was slowly moving his hand up and down her body, making her tingle all over. Then, he moved towards her neck and started to suck on it, causing a small hicky to form.

"Tom…." She moaned.

"Hhmm?"

"I think… aah… we should… stop," Lizzy said in between her sounds of pleasure.

Tom looked up and stared at her, "Why? Is there something wrong? Is it me?"

"No, its not you… I just don't think that we should…you know… go any further."

He got off of her and stared at the floor, not saying a single word, making her feel guilty.

Lizzy moved close to him and put her hand on his back.

"Look Tom, I just don't feel comfortable doing this yet. I promised myself that I would wait until I'm married, and when I make a promise, I keep it. I'm sorry…"

He looked up and stared deeply into her eyes, "its fine Liz, I understand…and besides," he kissed her neck, "you're worth the wait."

Before she could respond, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Lizzy, its me, Kylie. Is Tom in there?"

The two munks looked at each other for about 3 seconds, and then frantically started to put on their clothes.

"Uh… one sec Kyles be right out" shouted Tom while he looked for his racer jacket. While he was doing this, Lizzy was mostly almost done, only needing to put on her favorite violet hair pin.

"Tom! Hurry up! We don't have all day you know!" Kylie screamed from the other side.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," he yelled back, while stile trying to find his favorite jacket.

"Looking for something," he turned around and saw Lizzy holding it over her shoulder with a large smirk across her face.

Tom walked up to her and pulled a stand of hair from her face behind her ear. He stared into her green eyes, and then looked at her lips, while biting his own. He looked back into her eyes, leaned up even closer, and placed a gentle kiss upon her lips.

Tom pulled away, and then said, "I'll see you later, ok?"

All Lizzy could do at that moment was simply nod because of her loss of breath. She handed him his jacket and watched as he left her room, giving her a small wink as he disappeared.

Tom shut the door, and hugged his little sister, "Hey Kyles, you look nice today."

Kylie pulled herself away from the hug and crossed her arms suspiciously, "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, why do you ask?"

Kylie smirked, "Number one: you NEVER hug me unless something big has just happened. Number two: you ALMOST NEVER compliment me. And number three: your acting weird. What were you and Liz doing anyway?"

Tom let out a sheepish smile, "Nothing Kyles…nothing at all…."

Wow…it looks like some relationships are forming and breaking…

And what is Jake's plan? What does he want with Brittany?

What about Alvin? How does he feel about this whole thing?

Why am I asking you when I already know the answers to these questions!?

BTW I've gotten a lot of reviews asking me to try to make the chapters longer, and to add more action.

As for the first one: I PROMISE I WILL TRY MY BEST TO MAKE THE CHAPTERS LONGER. If I don't, then you can come and personally beat me up…

As for the second: there will be more action coming up I promise you.

Entiways… Review or my gang of sour patch kids will attack!
