Brittany and the Chipettes: The Squeakquel
Chapter 10 is done, and I can honestly say that this story is coming to an end...
BUT it's not over yet!
This will be told through the CHIPETTES POV ONLY!
Read the words that are out of the ordinary carefully, this means they are important. For example, a "he" that is italicized and a "he" that is not, could be two different people. Words that are not bolded and have quotation marks could be words, while if they are bolded, they could be dreams.

Chapter 10: Excitement
Eleanor's POV
The next morning
Like usual, I woke up to find Brittany and Jeanette still sleeping. I carefully slid out of bed to avoid waking them up and made my way to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and looked around for something that would be suitable for breakfast, it had to be something filling and full of energy, tonight, we were going to need it. Tonight was the night of the competition between us and the Chipmunks, I wasn't sure about my sisters, but I was really nervous. I wanted to be just as good as Brittany and Jeanette and avoid doing something that would make me look foolish, but thoughts of everything that COULD'VE gone wrong were stuck in my head. Realizing this, I quickly shook off the thoughts and concentrated on breakfast. I decided to make eggs again, but this time with waffles. As I let the food cook, I decided that it was time to wake my sisters up.
"Jeanette, it's time to get up." I whispered as I shook Jeanette awake.
"Okay, I'm up." Jeanette said as she opened her eyes.
After seeing Jeanette awake I turned and walked out of the room. Every morning I would wake up Jeanette so that she could wake up Brittany, I was usually in a good mood during the mornings and I didn't want that to be ruined because of the aggravation that came with trying to wake Brittany up. As I continued cooking, I heard Jeanette argue with Brittany to get her up, that's the reason I didn't like to do it, it's just too early to argue. A few minutes later, both Brittany and Jeanette came walking into the kitchen.
"Good morning, guys." I said looking over at them.
"Yeah, yeah." Brittany responded as she sat on the kitchen table.
"Just because we have to get up earlier now, doesn't mean you have to be grumpy…" I said as I stared at her.
"I'm not grumpy, I'm just tired." Brittany said as she put her head down onto the table.
"Well, you better get awake, we have the competition tonight." I said as I started to put food on our plates.
"I know, I know." Brittany said as she stood up. "Speaking of the competition, is it just me, or are you guys nervous?"
"Of course we're nervous Brittany; there is so much on the line for just this one show." Jeanette said as she hopped onto the table with Brittany.
"You're right, we just need to stay focused and give it our all." I said as I put our plates on the table.
"Exactly, we can't be nervous. If we believe we can do it, we will." Brittany said as she started eating.
"Well put, Brittany." Jeanette said, smiling.
"I hope you're right, Brittany." I said.
"When have I ever NOT been right?" Brittany said proudly, Jeanette and I simply glared at each other. "On second thought… don't answer that." Brittany said, Jeanette and I started laughing.
"Alright girls, everyone ready for the competition tonight?" Ian said as he joined us in the kitchen.
"Yes." We all answered.
"Good, because after today, I can promise you that you're going to be famous." Ian said as he walked over to us.
"Ian, after the school contest, are we still going to go to school?" Brittany asked as she looked up at him.
"Not if you don't want to." Ian said as he looked at us. "That reminds me, here uh… Eleanor, put these on." Ian said as he handed me shoes.
"What are these for?" I asked as I took them from him. They were big green shoes that had a much bigger base than usual.
"They're platform shoes, they're going to make you seem taller… and you NEED to seem taller." Ian said as he looked at me. I could tell he didn't really care if I could perform the songs, he only cared how I looked, but I decided to shrug off the thought and I slipped on the shoes. "There you go, now let's get moving; you don't want to be late."
As I stood up, I immediately felt a major difference in my balance. As soon as I got my balance back, I picked up my plate and headed for the sink. As I took my first step, I couldn't help but let out a sharp cry, for shoes… they were EXTREMELY uncomfortable.
"Are you okay, Eleanor?" Jeanette asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay." I lied, I was trying hard to keep my balance, and to keep in the screams of pain that I wanted to let loose. "These shoes are just… going to take a little bit of getting used to." I said as I started walking towards Jeanette and Brittany, about a foot away I tripped but was caught by Brittany.
"Jeanette, you don't have to wear those shoes if you don't want to." Brittany said as she helped me back onto my feet.
"No, if Ian wants be to wear them, then I will." I said as I frowned. I knew Ian didn't care about Jeanette and I as much as he did about Brittany, but regardless, I didn't want him to think that I was refusing to listen to him.
I gave each of my sisters a gentle nod, signaling that I was okay, and then we headed out the door. Today, while in the car, Ian was talking to someone over the phone who I presumed to be a friend of his.
"Come on, the girls are going to be huge!" Ian said, obviously meaning us. "Yeah, Brittany, she's the one, the one who'll put me back on top."
I dropped my head as my heart sank, we were right, Ian only cares about Brittany. I felt an arm go around me, I looked up to see Brittany who was doing the same thing to Jeanette, they both seemed upset at what Ian had said. I looked into Brittany's eyes which had the perfect 'don't worry' expression that would always make you feel better, and it worked.
"Alright, sorry about that." Ian said as he closed his phone. "Now, after you get out of school, we're going home immediately, I picked new outfits out for you that you're going to be wearing tonight." Ian said as we pulled up in front of the school.
As we got out of the car I started thinking about what was going to happen today. I thought about our classes, exams, friends, and the Chipmunks. Brittany told us to stay away from them for now, and I did as she wished, but after the contest tonight, I could finally be friends with Theodore. Suddenly, I saw a big hand in front of my face which broke me out of my deep thought and I realized we were at our lockers.
"Earth to Eleanor, I thought we lost you there." Brittany said sarcastically as she opened her locker.
"Yeah, what were you thinking about Eleanor? I'm usually the one to space out like that." Jeanette said as she looked towards me.
"Oh, it was nothing. I was just thinking about what was going to happen today." I said as opened my locker. "Brittany, do you really think that we can be friends with the Chipmunks after tonight?" I asked.
"Well, I don't see why not. There wouldn't be much of a reason to trick us if we already won the competition." Brittany said as she shuffled around things inside of her locker and pulled out a small hair brush.
"Okay, that's good news. I don't know how much longer I can avoid them." I said as I watched her brush her hair.
"Even so, try to avoid them for just one more day." Brittany said as she put the brush back into her locker.
"Okay." I mumbled as we walked into our first class.
A few hours later
The day was passing by pretty quickly. We only had one more class before school would end, and it was English. As we walked in, I noticed that our regular teacher, Ms. Roman was in the front of the room, but she was with Ms. Ortega.
"Alright class, take your seats." Ms. Roman said. "Today, we are doing a little bit of a charity organization. It's called Toys For Tots, in it, we're going to wrap presents in wrapping paper and give them to kids that are less fortunate than you. Anyone can go, but expect to do some work while you're there, it will take this entire period and you may leave when the last bell rings. Now, anyone who would like to go, please raise your hand." Ms. Roman said, explaining everything.
I quickly looked to both Jeanette and Brittany, I wanted to go, but I wanted to make sure it was okay with them first. I could tell they knew I wanted to go and Brittany gave me a nod, telling me to go. I raised my hand and followed everyone out of the room. We soon walked into the lunch room which had all the tables covered in supplies. I began wrapping presents quickly and decided it was worth doing, I always liked helping people, and to help kids who didn't have as much as we do, made me feel good. Before I knew it I had soon been on my seventh present, and I wasn't planning on stopping yet.
"Hey guys, thanks so much for helping out today, Toys For Tots is a really cool organization… so everybody's getting cool points today." Ms. Ortega said as she walked into the lunch room. She walked over to another student and started talking with her. "Hey Eleanor, why don't you see if Theodore needs any help." Ms. Ortega suggested with a wide grin on her face.
"Well, okay." I said as I jumped off of the present I had been wrapping.
As I started walked down the table, I was struggling to not yell out in pain as I still hadn't gotten used to the new shoes. While walking down the table, a couple people moved objects out of my way so I wouldn't trip, but I ended up tripping on a toothbrush package. As I stumbled forwards, I was caught and brought into slight embrace by Theodore, which only made me blush.
"Whoops." Theodore said as he helped me back onto my feet. "Um, they don't look very comfortable…"
"W-what my shoes?" I said as I followed his gaze which was pointed down at my feet. "They're not, but um, Ian says that I need to work on being taller." I said as I playfully climbed onto my tippy toes.
"Well, I think you look great just the way you are." Theodore said as he looked away from me, his face was starting to redden which made it obvious that he was blushing.
"You do?" I asked in disbelief, now it was MY turn to start blushing.
"Ah-huh." He replied, even more embarrassed and red than before.
Before I had the chance to thank him, the bell signaling the end of the period went off and Theodore quickly ran away. That's when I realized, I didn't want to avoid the Chipmunks any longer, even if they were trying to trick us… I liked being tricked. As I got up myself, I headed out the front door to see Brittany, Jeanette and Ian waiting for me at the car. I quickly regulated my breathing and heart beat, and walked towards them.
"It's about time." Ian said as he opened the doors for us.
"Sorry, I was just doing something and lost track of time." I said, feeling a little ashamed that I made everyone wait.
"Just try not to let it happen again." Ian said as he closed the door and started driving off.
As we drove home, I couldn't stop thinking about Theodore and what he said to me. I had already been excited about the competition tonight, but now I was even more excited about the next day of school and finally hanging out with the Chipmunks.
Eh, it was kind of a short chapter.
I wanted to split the night into two sections, the school day, and the competition.
Read and Review! (R&R) ^^
