Last update was a very powerful one. I dedicate that song and one-shot to Amanda Todd. I know that's not how Amanda killed herself but I don't want to write out exactly what happened. She was a Canadian, like me. And bullying is such a horrible thing and I've had many experiences with it. Sadly. October 10th.

As for the mysterious question in the last chapter, yes, it was because of Alvin. You guys are good. Well, that was an easy mystery. I'm hoping to write something more complex in that genre.

Okay, I need to shut up.

Read on.

Once upon a time, it was a lousy Monday night

I held your

hand and asked if you were alright

And all you said was 'maybe'

Chorus: It's you and me dancing on a yacht at a school party

Baby, you and me, creating chemistry on Tuesday nights

Don't you know that we're in love

And everything is just you and me

2nd Verse: Once upon a time, you were playing Poker at 4

Laughing with your best buds near my door

Played Twister at 3 am and felt as crazy as hell

You leaned down and told me...

Chorus

Once upon a time, you and I were laying on the grass in your yard

And you were acting strange

Chorus 2: It's you and me watching a rainstorm

But you tell me not to ask you over anymore

And I remember...

When it was you and me

Age 9*

"This is our motel room!"

"We booked it first!"

"No, you didn't!"

"Stop!" Simon shouted. "Does it really matter? Alvin, you need to learn how to share!"

"I don't want to share with her!"

Age 10*

Brittany felt a baseball whack her on the back with such force that she fell over. "Alvin!"

"I didn't do it," the red clad chipmunk sniggered.

Age 11

"Isn't this the most amazing night sky you've ever witnessed?"

"Is that a word on your calendar? " Alvin snorted.

"No!" Brittany spat. "Just shut up and look at the stars."

Age 12

Alvin finished coloring a picture for art class, packed up his markers and stuffed the homework into his bag.

"Whatcha doing? " Brittany asked.

"Nothing! Go back to your home under the bridge!"

Age 13

"How many times are you gonna ask? I said no the first time. It hasn't changed," Brittany growled.

"I'll ask until you give in," Alvin snapped at her. "Now, lend me the money and I'll pay you back."

"Uh huh. And exactly how many times have you paid me back?" Brittany pointed out.

Alvin chuckled to himself. "Once or twice."

Age 14

"Stupid Alvin. Not cleaning his room. And yeah, of course, I'm stuck doing it again, aren't I?" Brittany mumbled.

"Talking to yourself?" Alvin questioned, leaning on the doorway.

"No," Brittany said, defiantly.

Alvin looked at her for a minute before asking, "Why are you cleaning my room?"

"Dave told me to..."

"No, he didn't."

Age 15

"Why can't you just pay attention to me for once? I'm trying to talk to you and every time I get to saying it, you run off! Not this time, Seville!"

"If it was so important, you'd just blurt it out and get the stupid thing over with!" Alvin shouted back at her.

Brittany curled her paws into fists. "I so badly want to knock your teeth out right now."

"Oh really? Then why don't you? "

"Because!" Brittany yelled. "Because... I love you, that's why!"

"That was unexpected," Alvin muttered.

Brittany kissed him for several minutes before pulling away and insisting, "I still want to break your nose."

That was a more happier one-shot, don't you think? Yep, it was pretty good, I think. But as authors, don't be so hard on yourself.

R&R, thank you!
