Chapter 10 coming now, things were starting to heat up. What happens next. As always, everything belongs to their respective owners. Here's Chapter 10.

Chapter 10: What Should I Do? Part I

When Dave had pulled up to the house, he noticed that Ian's vehicle was in the driveway and everyone got out in a hurry as Ian came up in same quick fashion.

"My god Theo! Is he alright?" Ian called out running over.

"He's fine, what are you doing here Ian, I thought you had things to take care of?" Dave asked as the others looked on.

"Well I came over to check on the little guy when I found out what happened." Ian explained which Dave was a little miffed out.

"But...how'd you find out so quickly?" Dave asked

"Yeah, it just happened?" Alvin added.

"It's local and national news guys, it gets around real fast." With that Ian pulled out his phone that informs him of information around the country and in the music industry. And sure enough on his phone was a big post in bold letters.

"NEW CHIPMUNK STAR ESCAPES FAN GANGBANG"

Dave and Alvin who had jumped up on Dave's shoulder viewed the pic and gained a fear of worry on their face.

"I'm afraid I can't risk the well-being of Theodore any longer." Ian said with pure seriousness to Dave. "Theo, it's time to go." He called out to his client.

The look on Theodore's face was shot, he had just got to seeing them again.

"B-But, I wanted to stay Ian." Theodore complained to Ian, but he wasn't having any of it.

"Theo, we need to go." Ian repeated again. Theodore looked glum as Eleanor placed her hand on his shoulder as his hair was still slightly ruffled. The others looked on at what he would do.

"I..." Theodore slowly said. "I...I gotta go." Theodore with that walked off leaving his grasp from Eleanor who pulled him back to hug him.

"Come back soon." Eleanor whispered to him.

"I will." He answered back and with that he walked to Ian and the two got in his car, not before Theodore gave one last look back to his family as Ian left.

Just as soon as he had come back, he was gone. And if this was a trend in their lives, life was going to be really rough.

Ian had returned back to the estate with Theodore who was still feeling a little glum. But Ian wanted to show him something that he thought he might like.

"I got something for ya, I think you might like it" Ian told him holding a piece of something green in his hand.

"Is it cookies, cake, or doughnuts?" Theodore asked waddling over with anticipation. Ian decided to just change the subject as fast as he could.

"Uh, no it's actually something for you to wear. How about whipping this bad boy on." Ian tossed the small piece of green clothing to Theodore which fell right on top of him, when Theodore gets it off his head and observes it, his eyes become wide and his bottom lip almost quivers. It's a green sweater with a yellow "T" on the front; just like Alvin's signature sweater. Theodore doesn't know what to do to his said gift as Ian looks on.

"Ian...I...I don't know." Theodore stuttered.

"Let it be my way of saying "I'm sorry" for all those years of wanting to get rid of you guys...and girls. Go on...try it on." Requested Ian as Theodore kept looking down at the sweater just given to him.

"But I..." Theodore said still unsure.

"Oh right don't worry, I'll get it for ya." Ian began to walk over and kneel down to help.

"Na...No..." Theodore said.

Ian though seemed too into what he was doing as he pulled off Theodore's little green sweater and tosses it aside leaving Theodore completely naked to the eye. Ian then began to fit on the shirt. It was a little longer so it fit over a majority of his stomach. Once it was fit on Ian stepped back as Theodore looked down at his new clothing.

"Well whadya think?" Ian asked arms extended. Theodore looked down still not sure what to think as he clearly wasn't much of a fashion expert.

"Uh, it's alright I guess." Said Theodore.

"Well I think it was worth it, all those girls made this plan work perfect so I could get you back here." Ian told him which made Theodore look up as he realized what Ian said.

"What plan? Y-You mean you knew about that?" Theodore suspisiously asked.

"Yeah, I got a couple of girls from the record company who were big fans of yours to go down there, anything to get you back here and show the new uni." Ian responded.

Theodore was beggining to get a little worried, Ian set up the whole scene with his "fans", there was no telling what else he may try to pull for their own benefit. Theodore continued to observe it by tugging it outward to glance at it. Theodore had decided enough was enough.

"Ian...I don't want this anymore..." Theodore told him with his head down.

"What are ya talking about you just got it?" Ian wondered.

"No...I mean this..." Theodore looked around at everything as Ian got the picture to what he meant. "I mean... I never wanted all this...It...It's just too much."

"Look Theo," Ian started trying to cheer him up. "I know you were scared about what happened today, but you just weren't expecting it. Once it happens more often...you'll be used to it."

"More often?" Theodore in shock which made him jolt back slightly.

"Yeah, trust me. At the rate you're going, It'll be happening all the time for real." Ian was being completely honest with him, but one would wonder if honestly was really the best thing to say.

"I-I don't want that all the time, I don't wanna be tough...I...I wanna go home." Theodore turned around and fell down to the floor with his confidence crushed. Ian knew that his plan backfired and that he was losing Theodore with every word that came out of his mouth, but he then came up with an idea that he thought would change his opinion.

"Well I guess Dave was right from the start." Ian turned around saying non-chalontly. This got Theodore's attention in a hurry.

"Dave?" Which he turned around and ran up to Ian. "Right about what?"

"Well, Theo I'm afraid to tell you this because it might make you a little upset." Ian kneeled down to tell him.

"Huh?" Theodore asked starting to breathe quickly.

"Well...Theo buddy...Dave knew you couldn't do this." Ian told him putting a hand on his back.

"What?" He said back. He wondered what Ian was talking about.

"Well yeah I mean he told me from the start that the pressure would be too much for anybody, let alone you. I told him that I believed you could do it, but Dave didn't believe in you Theo. He said you just couldn't do it." Theodore just shook his head looking on hearing what he heard, not believing it.

"No...Dave wouldn't ever say that, none of them would. Not Simon...or Alvin..." Theodore was cut off in denial by Ian trying to explain to him.

"Alvin? Theo buddy Alvin's jealous of you, he doesn't want you to have any of this." Ian explained pointing all around.

"Why would Alvin be jealous of me?" He didn't understand.

"Look man, what's it always been? "Alvin" and the Chipmunks. Alvin, Alvin, Alvin. Alvin for years has tried to keep you down. And the fact that you've become a bigger deal than him eats him inside. You know Alvin, he is your brother after all, he doesn't to want to be second best at anything."

Theodore begins to think about that as he reflects back on everything that has happened.

"You've made him second best. And deep down, he doesn't like it...and I'm afraid that he just doesn't like you anymore." Ian declared shaking his head in remorse. Theodore gasped at the very notice of hearing that his own brother doesn't care for him. It couldn't be true...could it?

Meanwhile, Alvin was walking in the hallway. He felt miserable after making a complete goof of himself, and then even worse that he even tried to pin it on his younger brother. He knew Theodore didn't deserve what Alvin had said, but Alvin being who he was just talked first and throught later. No wonder Theodore got upset with him, though Alvin thought confused about what had happened; Theodore had never gotten upset with anybody, much less him. He was hoping that the pressure of all this wasn't getting to his bro. When Alvin was about to head to their bedroom, he saw Eleanor inside looking a bit down, and with no surprise; her best friend was gone as soon as he came back. Alvin wasn't sure what do just as Brittany walked up behind him which he didn't notice.

"Aren't you gonna say something to her?" Brittany whispered right into his ear which made him jump and made enough noise that Eleanor heard as she looked back to the doorway.

"Is someone out there?" Eleanor called out getting no answer as Alvin had his mouth covered by Brittney's paw to keep him quiet.

"Go in there and talk to her, it'll make her feel better." Brittany whispered to him again still holding his mouth. Upon letting go Alvin gasped for air.

"Can I at least breathe please?" Alvin asked her before walking off.

Alvin walked into the room which took Eleanor by surprise as she looked back.

"Oh Alvin. I didn't expect it was you?" She said honestly. Alvin walked up to her with a slight smile.

"Do you feel like talking for a while?" Alvin asked her. Eleanor acknowledged and Alvin sat down next to her putting an arm around her shoulder. She didn't seem to care as she was still a little depressed.

"I guess you're upset at me too aren't you?" Eleanor asked head down, unwilling to make eye contact. It was the last thing Alvin thought would start their "talk" but he chose to shrug it off.

"Huh? Who else is upset with you?" Alvin asked her back, but the look she gave to him told him he was a bit off track with what she meant.

"No, I mean that..." She stopped as she tried to gather her words together as Alvin was figurtively all ears. "...You were really upset with Theodore after the concert. And now Theodore's gone because I said he should go. Now seeing the two of you not getting along, I feel it's my fault all this happened. I hope you're not upset with me too." Eleanor hung her head in shame. Alvin slightly gritted his teeth in sympathy.

"Oh no...I'm not upset with either of you, I just lost my head. Honest." Alvin looked sincere with his words and got a smile from her, she then went deep into thought.

"What do you think I should do Alvin?" Eleanor asked him. Alvin was unsure of what to tell and after a couple tugs on his collar came up with the only thing that came to mind.

"You should tell Theodore how you really feel, that's all I know." Alvin responded, Eleanor stood with and gave Alvin which caught him off guard as she began to walk off.

"Thanks Alvin." Eleanor ran off to look to do something which Alvin let out a deep sigh of relief. When Alvin left the bedroom he quickly bumped into Brittany again.

"So what did you tell her?" Brittany conforted him.

"Uh...stuff." With that Alvin made a break for it before Brittany in his mind woild try and scold him. Alvin left leaving Brittany with a blank look her face. Sometimes she could never figure out what Alvin was really thinking, but at the same time that's what interested her about him too.

There's Chapter 10. Chapter 11 Coming Soon.
