This is the last chapter of 'Be My Tutor', sad to end it but I had finally finished a story! Woots! But, there's an epilogue for you guys to know what happens next. Look out for my new story though, 'Our Summer House', I'll try to twist the plot around like this story, making it… slightly different.
Note: 'Heart Of Reaper' isn't my next mixed couple story, it was only written out of my free time and fun.
Nothing belongs to me except the plot and OCs.
Old Pal Or Innovative Love?
"Why are you so gloomy today?"
Dave asked worriedly as Alvin twisted the doorknob of the front door, preparing to go to the school. Alvin merely threw a narrowed glare at his baby brother who was standing at the top of the stairs.
"Ask him." Alvin tilted his head behind, gesturing Theodore. Simon stood beside the red-clad chipmunk and he too, turned his head around, anxious of his baby brother's action.
Dave looked to Theodore questioningly as Alvin and Simon walked out of the house, leaving their brother to handle his own problem. Alvin limped out of the door, but courtesy of focusing Dave's attention to Theodore, Dave never noticed his poor, injured condition.
"Theodore?" Dave asked softly as Theodore's expression saddened a bit. "What is happening here?" He pointed at the opened door where Alvin just stood.
Theodore took a deep breath, not expecting this to be a good morning. "I'll…" He walked down to the stairs, standing beside the door. "Explain later." He delayed the time, wishing his caretaker would forget all the commotions.
"Later?" Dave repeated as he stood up slowly from the dining table, "Why?" He tightened the distance between his eyelids and his eye socket, scrutinising at his son as if he was suspicous of something.
"I…" Theodore shifted his eyes around nervously, Come on! His conscience spoke frantically, Think of something! It pushed.
"I have to study my German," He faked a weak smile at his caretake, pausing as Dave raised an eyebrow. "I have to retake the exam after school." Theodore wasn't lying fully either. He does have a German test today, after he missed his previous test on Thursday.
Dave rubbed his temples as if he had a migrain, He did forgot his test last week… "Okay," He looked up to his adopted son and sighed heavily. "I want the explaination after school." He ordered strictly.
"Yes." Theodore answered as if he was just yelled by a commander. He turned his body around and walked out to the porch. Just before he closed the door, Dave spoke again.
"We'll talk after the soccer competition after I see Alvin's performance." He informed from the internal part of the house and walked up to the stairs, changing his clothes in order to work.
Theodore froze at that statement as the door closed automatically on itself, The competition! He stomped his foot on the ground with frustration, I can't hide the truth for too long! He groaned up to the sky, I'm dead…
He walked from the porch, turning to his right and expecting to meet his brothers. However, Theodore tilted his head upward, scanning the whole area. Maybe they went already… He sighed, At least Eleanor's my girlfriend now… He smiled to himself as he chuckled.
The thought struck him as a realisation, Eleanor! He snapped his head up, Alvin's going there! He clentched his fist and ran towards the Miller's house, sprinting with his life. Oh man… He silently cursed in his mind, afraid of what will happen to his new grilfriend.
The sight of the Miller's house slowly entered into his eyes, Theodore speeded up, trying to reach his girlfriend before Alvin does.
"Eleanor?" He asked around as he reached her house but the front yard was empty as a desert. Theodore bit his lips in an anxious way. I promised to protect her…
"Teddy!" Theodore's ear twitched as he perked up at that point, wondering if he had heard hallucination. A figure embraced him from his right side, throwing her arm around his neck.
Eleanor kissed his cheek quickly as Theodore realised his girlfriend was actually sitting on the porch just now. He quickly wrapped his arm her, pulling her back and waist closer to his body.
"Ellie…" He sighed softly, "Don't scare me." He chuckled softly, changing his tone to a playful one instead of concern.
She pulled back from the hug as she giggled cutely, "I'm not." Eleanor put on her innocent face and Theodore merely rolled his eyes playfully, he couldn't help but smile at her enthusiastic action.
"I never went with them," Eleanor shook her head slightly, as if she just read Theodore's mind. "I purposely locked myself in the bathroom." She explained with a tiny smirk.
Theodore took a good view of the spring-green clad chipette, "Brittany and Jeanette never suspected anything?" He asked unbeliavably, slightly proud of his girlfriend.
"Well," Eleanor patted his chest lightly, "I learned from the best." She smiled genuinely.
He laughed softly and before he fully calmed down, Theodore held her hand again, still blushing like the first time. "Let's go." He suggested with a grin as Eleanor nodded her head once.
"Erm…" Eleanor started timidly as they walked to the school, "About the soccer competition?" She refreshed her boyfriend's mind as he took note of her speech, "Brittany told me that…" She trailed off quietly.
"Alvin sprained his leg," Theodore finished for her with a small frown, "Badly." He added with a defeated sigh.
"The substitutes aren't here today," Eleanor continued her explaination, "Our school team will be missing a member." She held Theodore's palm tighter in her grasp.
"We'll be losing, huh?" Theodore let a puff of air, blowing the hair from the top of his forehead.
Eleanor thought back to the day they played soccer at the field, she gathered all her courage as she turned her head to him. "I was wondering if…"
"I'm sorry," Theodore said glumly as he shook his head in a negative way, "I have a German retake-test today after school." He half-shrugged and closed his eyes slowly.
"You mean you can't…" Eleanor pleaded meekly.
"I can't help you," Theodore rubbed the back of his neck embarassingly, "Dave told me to ace it." He remembered vividly what his caretaker ordered a few days earlier.
Eleanor too, sighed with disappointment as she hooked his arm with her own. "I just hope everything will work out." She wished loudly.
"Be optimistic," Theodore chuckled to himself, "At least we're a couple now." He stated sweetly.
"Yeah," Eleanor smiled again, regardless of the horrible vagary that's coming after school, "We're in love." She whispered softly into his ears as she stared into his green-emeralds irises dreamily.
"And you're seducing me." Theodore rolled his eyes with a sweet grin.
Eleanor merely shrugged as she gave him a sheepish smile.
Theodore stopped at the entrance of cafeteria, staring at the table that he always seats.
"Theodore?" Eleanor asked sweetly as she came from behind, "What's wrong?" She questioned curiously as Theodore continued to stare at it.
From the table, Alvin glared back at his baby brother, burning the green-clad chipmunk with flames of hatred. He stood up from the table abruptly, pushing the chair behind with his unharm leg rudely and limped slowly to another table.
Theodore bit his lips as his glare softened a bit, Alvin… His gaze followed his red-clad brother sadly before Alvin sat at another table, talking with the jocks.
Eleanor noticed and fiddled her shoes in shyness, I broke their brotherhood… She followed Theodore who walked slowly to their other siblings. I wish I can fix this… She sighed lightly and sat at the table too, meeting with three confused chipmunks.
"Alvin seems to be really furious," Brittany spoke up loudly, breaking the ice between them as the bespectacled chipmunks kept silent. "What are you guys going to do?" She gestured the red-clad chipmunk as Theodore and Eleanor looked up to her with sad smile.
"Time is on our side," Theodore smiled weakly as he held Eleanor's hand on her lap, "He'll come around." He grinned to his girlfriend whom replied with the same action.
"What if he doesn't?" Simon as the practical and logical person spoke the possible cataclysm as he stared at the two green-clad chipmunks.
"Alvin isn't exactly…" Jeanette made hand gestures as she looked to another two chipmunks, but Simon and Brittany simply shrugged. "Forgivable?" She asked everyone on the table.
"I prefer…" Simon tapped his chin twice, trying to correct his girlfriend's mistake. "Stubborn." He nodded his head understandingly.
"How about the soccer competition?" Brittany started another subject, "I'm worried about Alvin." She looked to the red-clad chipmunk with a sad face.
The four chipmunks raised their eyebrows, slightly perplexed with the pink-clad chipette's unusual kind attitude. "Let's just see where it takes us after the soccer competition." Theodore crossed his arm on the table and rested his head on it lazily as Eleanor patted his shoulder soothingly. He shrugged as Brittany turned back to the table, still cautious of the red-clad chipmunk's feelings.
What a bad day, huh? Theodore's conscience sighed, You made the decision and everything changed. He could felt his conscience shook its head negatively.
For me, it was worth it. Theodore grinned to himself. He turned his head slightly to look at the spring green chipette, eating the food to pump up herself before the soccer competition. Eleanor… The thought of having her as a girlfriend made his heart flew high.
How about your brother? Theodore turned his head to another direction, staring at the back of his eldest brother. Are you going to live with his hatred? His conscience asked sarcastically.
Forever?
There must be a way, Theodore licked his lips as he straightened his torso, Somehow… He took a piece of French fries from Eleanor's plate as she slapped his arm playfully. Now… Theodore chuckled to himself as Eleanor pouted cutely. My life is lucky enough. He put his palm on Eleanor's hand, making her to blush before continuing to eat her food.
"And now…" The voice sounded through the whole field as the visitors from the bleachers shouted with cheers, "It's the Eagle!" The team started with a man dressed in the eagle costume as he ran out, followed with the team members including Eleanor.
Strangely enough, the captain was absent from the team but staring at the field from the bleachers with his siblings and friends. Alvin sighed, thinking on how to explain when Dave comes and asks everything about his terribly sprained leg. He rested his elbows on his kness, followed with his head on his palm.
Sure, there's still hatred of his baby brother in his heart, but making him to be punished by their caretaker was slightly overreacting and exaggerating. Furthermore, he was the one that was ignoring the spring-green chipette in the first place. For his baby brother developed new feelings for the blonde chipette was inevitable and natural. If Theodore ever get into a deep trouble and he hates his own red-clad brother too…
I can't bear that… Alvin shook his head slightly as Brittany looked to him worriedly, He's too sweet to hate… He closed his eyes and hung down his head sadly. If Theodore hates me… A pat was felt at his shoulder as he opened one eye. I must be a really bad bro.
Little did he knew, Theodore was thinking the same thought in his German class. Alvin looked up at that gentle pat and saw the pink-clad chipette comforting him soothingly.
"It's okay, Alvin." Brittany smiled at him, swinging her head to remove a bang of hair from her face. "Eleanor got everything under control." She rubbed his back, stroking his fur through the thin fabric he was wearing.
"Now I think of it…" Alvin leaned against the back of the bleachers, "Soccer isn't that important." He admitted as he stared up to the sky, watching the cloud peacefully.
"What do you mean?" Brittany tilted her body forward to listen as Simon and Jeanette too were interested to hear his speech.
"I'm worrying about Theodore," Alvin sighed as he closed his eyes, taking a deep, fresh breath. "I wonder if he will forgives me…" His voice slightly darkened, thinking back how he punched his brother yesterday when Theodore wasn't even fighting back. He's really too kind… Alvin smiled slightly, No wonder Eleanor fell in love with that, He rolled his eyes playfully. Teddy bear.
"He will, Alvin." Brittany patted his chest softly, "Theodore is really a sweet guy." She smiled genuinely at her red-clad chipmunk. "He'll forgive you." She assured him.
"Not only that…" Alvin sat up as he dug his face into both of his palms, "How am I going to find a girlfriend!" He screamed into his hand, muffling his shouting.
Brittany merely rolled her eyes, "You're hot, Alvin." She said casually, "Of course you can find a new one." She made a 'Pfft' sound at the end of her sentence.
Alvin snapped his head up when he heard the word 'hot' and scanned his pink-clad friend awkwardly, "Yeah…" He agreed embarassingly as he smirked slightly. She thinks I'm hot? Alvin laughed to himself at that as the three chipmunks stared at him with bewilderment.
"Oh," Mr Kink looked up from his paper as a knock was heard from the door, "Come on in." He ordered kindly.
Theodore opened the door slowly, not surprised to see the class was empty except for himself and his teacher.
"I won't be asking why you missed the test," Mr Kink explained as Theodore released a deep breath from his lips, "Take one." He pointed at one of the desk with papers on it.
Theodore walked slowly to the desk and rested his bag on the floor. He took a pen from his bag and stared at the paper, slightly afraid of what will happen next.
"It's the Eagle!"
The voice and cheers travelled from the field as Theodore sighed, forcing himself to push the thoughts of the soccer competition from his mind. He wrote his name and flipped the first page, scanning through the paper with weird scribbles which were actually German words.
"Mister Seville," Theodore looked up from his paper, not even able to do the first question. "Due to my family meeting…" Mr Kink looked to his watch. "You have only one hour." He nodded with a sheepish smile, making Theodore to widen his eyes at the short time been given.
"Begin." And Theodore's pen landed on the surface of the paper, writing madly.
"Eagle finally scored one!"
Half of the bleachers cheers while half of it merely laughed. Alvin looked to the scoreboard, it was one to two, the other team was winning right now. After the first break, the opposite team seemed to be still energetic.
"Forget about girlfriend," Alvin started as the two chipettes turned to him with his brother along, "I'm worrying about the score now!" He exclaimed, clearly frustrated as he ruffled his hair harshly.
Brittany rolled her eyes, "Whatever." She took out her compact mirror and her lipstick, "They're going to lose anyway." She applied her lipstick while saying that.
Alvin turned to her, glaring at her. "What did you said?" He asked angrily, intimidating her to repeat her last sentence.
"Seriously," Brittany closed her compact mirror with a slam as she heard that, "Are you complaining?" She pulled the collar of the red-clad chipmunk, making them face-to-face. She scanned his face with her flaming eyes, threatening him to shut his mouth up.
Alvin widened his eyes at her action and was slightly afraid. He put an arm behind his neck sheepishly as he used his free hand to wave negatively. "I'm not." He laughed awkwardly.
Brittany stared harder into his eyes, "You better not." She hissed furiously before throwing him back to his seat and continued her make up.
Alvin blinked repeatedly, Wow… He panted with hot breath, Her eyes are icy-blue… Unknowingly, he continued to stare at her as the two blue-clad chipmunk shifted their eyes from one to another. And strong…
"Alvin?"
The voice snapped him out his trance as the four chipmunks turned to the voice slowly, "Why aren't you in the game?" Dave asked, clutching the popcorn in one hand and cola in another.
The three worried chipmunks looked to the red-clad chipmunk as he mumbled a word under his breath.
"Shit!"
Back on the field, Eleanor was panting with energy lost. The first was scored by her, without Alvin, if seemed to be hopeless to try to break through the opposite team's defense.
Eleanor shook her head wildly, making her hair to bounce everywhere and the sweats to drip off. She bent down on two knees and rested her palms on it, glaring at the opposite team.
Alvin… Eleanor bit her lips as she stared up to the bleachers, only to meet with a surprise. Dave's here? Her pupils became smaller at that thought, watching the caretaker talking with the arm-crossed red-clad chipmunk.
After this terrible match… Eleanor turned her focus back to the game, I have another judgement… The whistle blowed as the members started to move again. Eleanor bit her lips, I wish Theodore was here…
"You have only…" Mr Kink paused awhile as he looked at his watch, "Fifteen more minutes." He informed the still-writing green-clad chipmunk.
Theodore looked up, jaw-dropping at his teacher. He quickly looked down to his paper, realizing his essay was only finished half-way.
If I write faster… Theodore bit his lips as he scanned his paper wholly, I can finish this in time. He screamed confidently in his mind and continued to scribble the paper with words.
"Eagle finally scored one!"
That information from the field made his heartbeat stopped for a moment, Eleanor must be suffering on the field… He endured the pain of his girlfriend and continued to write. This is…
Why don't you help her? His conscience spoke coldly, She needs you anyway.
How in world am I going to do that? Theodore snapped at his mind as he continued to write on the paper, sweat dripping on it.
Break your promise, It suggested, The one you made when you're just five.
I can't… Theodore stopped his movement as he stared at the paper, I won't release my strength… He clentch the pen tighter in his fist. I made the promise to Ellie…
But you're Eleanor's boyfriend… Just when Theodore almost wrote another word, he ceased in a sudden manner, Are you going to let her suffer in the field? The conscience asked sarcastically.
But I… Theodore scrutinised his eyes at his test paper, I…
You said you're going to protect her… The conscience spoke unbelievably, This is protecting? It retorted harshly.
I meant…Theodore was speechless.
Just because of this stupid, The conscience grimaced in his mind, pausing for a dramatic effect. German test?
No,Theodore mouthed to himself, It's…
What would Ellie say when she saw this? Theodore froze at that statement, Your sweet little bird best friend…
Theodore's pen dropped on the desk as he used his palms to steady his head by putting both of his elbows on the table. Mr Kink looked up from his paper and raised his eyebrows at the sad green-clad chipmunk that seemed to be having a headache.
Making your girlfriend suffering… Theodore gritted his teeth, hard. Just because of a juvenile promise? His conscience asked non-stop.
It wasn't childish! Theodore screamed with frustration in his mind.
What would Ellie want you to do? Theodore calmed down slightly, Because of the past… The conscience said proudly, as if it had stung Theodore's weakness. And ruin your future?
Ellie… Theodore groaned loudly as he rubbed his temples roughly, She would…
"Theodore?" Mr Kink asked from his seat as Theodore looked up slowly, still panting because of his furious mind. "What's wrong?" Theodore took a deep breath before clutching the end of the table in his palms, wanting to crush it with his strength.
"I'm not taking this test anymore."
With that, Theodore stood up abruptly as he took his test paper and slammed on the table of Mr Kink, making him to be startled by his action. Theodore ran to the door and held the handle of the door in his left hand, spinning quickly and sprinted down the hallway.
"Theodore?" Mr Kink asked awkwardly as he too, stood up from his table and walked to the door, seeing his student running away. "Theodore!" He yelled to him.
Nevertheless, Theodore never gave any respond. Mr Kink took up Theodore's test paper and stared at it, "What's with him?" Mr Kink mumbled to himself.
"You mean," Dave pointed at the at blonde chipette who was running through the field with an amazing speed, "Eleanor is Theodore's girlfriend now?" He asked unbelievably to the four chipmunks.
"Yes." The four chipmunks answered with a grumble, tired with the caretaker's question.
"Why would-"
"You told him to, Dave." Simon answered lazily from his place, "You asked Theodore to find a girlfriend." He rolled his eyes as he pushed his spectacles up to the bridge of his nose.
"But I-"
"He wanted to protect Alvin and Eleanor's relationship," Jeanette, being the only shy one to explain softly. "So Theodore tutored Eleanor on…" She looked to Simon as he shrugged with confusion. "Well…you know…" She made hand gestures to everyone.
"How do-"
"And then they fell in love," Brittany spoke as Dave turned to his right side, facing the pink-clad chipette. "Thus," She pointed at the field, and looked back up at the startled caretaker. "This is the result." She tilted her head slightly, gesturing her baby sister.
"So it's-"
"I punched-"
"Stop!" Dave yelled as the four chipmunks looked taken aback by his shouting, Dave panted a few times before continuing. "Before you cut my sentence again," He glared at Alvin who was almost starting to speak, "Let me make this clear." Dave put his palms on his hips strictly.
"Theodore taught Eleanor something and now they fall in love and then Alvin sprained his leg and then Alvin has a bad brotherhood with Theodore and then Alvin…" Dave blurted out quickly as he took a deep breath, making the four chipmunks to nod repeatedly through his speech. "Can't go into the field and then Theodore is in the German test and then Eleanor's team is going to lose on the field." Dave panted hotly at the end.
"Yup." The four chipmunk replied simply but simultaneously.
Dave leaned on the bleachers and let a puff of air, "That's a lot to take in one day." He admitted as he shook his head slightly.
"You think so?" Alvin spoke sarcastically as he leaned on the bleachers, similar to his caretaker.
"Wait," Dave started as the four chipmunks turned their heads to him again, "So the day Theodore missed his German test…"
"He's actually helping Eleanor." Jeanette finished for him as Alvin and Brittany rolled their eyes at Dave's statement.
"It means…" Dave gasped slightly, jaw-dropping as he realized the truth. I have to apologise to Theodore… Dave bit his lips, feeling guilty after scolding and disappointed over his son for no reason.
"You blamed him for the wrong reason." Simon added just behind him.
"So…"
"Enough!" Alvin and Brittany yelled in unison as the caretaker was slightly taken aback and raised both of his hands defensively.
Dave shifted his eyes between the two irritated chipmunks as they sat back down on the bleachers beside each other, crossing their arms while murmuring something under their breath. "Grumpy much?" He muttered to himself.
"Where is he?" Theodore asked himself as he ran into the field, finding people who was sitting at the row, seated at the side of the field instead of the bleachers.
"Mr Dan!" He yelled as he spotted the man, sitting at one of the chair. The man turned to his right side, wondering who would call his name at this kind of timing.
"Mr Dan…" Theodore stopped in front of him and panted hotly, "Can I…" He rested his left palm on his knee, using his right hand to point at the field. "Be a substitude?" He pleaded.
Mr Dan scanned his body, slightly disapproved of his physical ability. Theodore noticed his stare and looked down to his body. Sure, he wasn't muscular but neither he's really overweight, only slightly chubbier in a cute way.
"Mr Dan…" Theodore repeated his name as he continued to pant softly, "If you don't send me in," He rested his right hand on his knee too, "They're dead meat." He stated simply.
I even wonder if you will cause trouble… Mr Dan thought coldly.
"Eagle scores again!" The voice snapped the attention of the two people, grabbing their attention as they turned to the screen of the score board. Mr Dan sighed lightly, It couldn't be worse than this… "Okay," He spoke as he spun to take his bag, searching for something. "Here." He pulled out a blue and yellow T-shirt.
Just before Theodore almost grasped the shirt, Mr Dan pulled back and glared at the green-clad chipmunk. "Don't disappoint me." He ordered strictly. Theodore merely replied with a nod, he grabbed the T-shirt in a second and took off his shirt on the field, still wearing his short pants.
Theodore wore the T-shirt as Mr Dan whistled, making the competition to stop mid-way. What? Eleanor spun around, confused to hear the whistle at this time. She immediately perked up as she saw her boyfriend wearing the team's T-shirt, standing beside her couch. Theodore! She screamed happily in her mind.
The team members ran to Mr Dan as he started to announce, "This student will be our substitude," Everyone looked to Theodore as he simply slid his palm into his pockets and shrugged coolly. "Go out," Mr Dan whispered, "And win!" He shouted as everyone in the team cheered. Another member which was bigger size than Theodore walked to the chair, flinging himself onto the chair as he fanned himself with his humongously giant palm. Theodore looked to Mr Dan curiously as the coach simply shrugged. "We couldn't find any other substitute." He explained quickly, making Theodore to nod understandingly at the reason he decided to accept Theodore into the team briefly.
The members quickly ran back to their position as Eleanor sprinted to her green-clad boyfriend and embraced him tightly. "I thought you're not coming…" Eleanor whispered softly as she snuggled up to him, cheek to cheek. "What changed your mind?" She kissed his cheek and asked curiously.
"You." Theodore replied sweetly with a grin as she blushed deeply.
"Come on," He pulled back from the hug as they turned to the field, "Let's win this thing," Theodore held up his last finger. "Together." He offered with a crooked grin.
Eleanor hooked their fingers together, "Sure." She answered confidently and nodded firmly in unison before they ran out to the field.
"By the way…" Eleanor turned her head to her boyfriend, curious of his words. Theodore chuckled cutely as he ran beside her, "You look cute in this shirt." He laughed while slightly tugging his own shirt, making Eleanor to blush and roll her eyes playfully.
"Looks like the Eagle has a substitude!"
"Say what?" Alvin exclaimed as the family stood up from the bleachers, trying to get a good view. "Our substitudes are absent!" He explained confusingly.
"Hold on," Simon tilted his torso slightly, using his index finger to point at the players, "Is that…"
"Theodore?" They asked stupidly in unison as they saw the youngest Seville in the field.
"What is Theodore doing there?" Dave asked stupidly, struck by the sudden event. "I thought he has a German test?" He looked around, wanting someone to give him some answers.
Simon shrugged as he sighed defeatedly, "Looks like he's working hard to win this game." He guessed as Jeanette patted his back soothingly.
"This way," Alvin punched the air with his fist, "We're winning now!" He screamed to whole field, happily.
"But," Brittany shifted her eyes around as the family and her sister turned to her, "I thought Theodore's physical education only gets a 'C'?" She asked while pointing at the field.
"This way," Alvin turned back to the bleachers and laid there lazily, "We're doom now!" He exclaimed frantically as he threw his arms upwards in a dramatic way. The two chipettes and his family simply rolled their eyes in annoyance and turned back to the game, wanting to see what will happen next.
Theodore tried to kick the ball, but his stamina was stopping him. Every once in a while, he has to stop and pant for a few times, courtesy of lacking air and energy. Before he could even touch the ball, he was forced to stop running, letting the opposite team to snatch it.
"Looks like…" Theodore mumbled as he looked to the scoreboard, "I'm useless after all…" He panted as the time only left a minute.
You're never good at running, His conscience shrugged, Looks like we're in the wrong league…
I decided to break my promise… Theodore scanned the field quickly, looking for a sign of the ball. But it didn't help much. He admitted.
Well, look at Eleanor. Theodore obeyed his mind, switching his focus to his girlfriend, She's happy, isn't she? His conscience asked sarcastically.
At least she's happy when I'm on the field with her… Theodore sighed heavily, But I still can't win the competition… He stomped the ground with one foot, showing his frustration. Maybe I shouldn't…
Just stop it, mate. Theodore froze at his mind's sudden harsh tone. Ellie would be disappointed with you. His conscience said darkly, dripping with hatred.
Ellie was my bestfriend… Theodore looked to the sky again and clentched his right fist, thinking back to the day he had lost his bestfriend. I wonder what will she say…
If you want to know that, His conscience rolled its eyes with irritation, Start changing now. It suggested.
"Theodore!" Eleanor shouted as she grabbed his attention, making him to snap up his head and look at his girlfriend. She waved her arms around before shooting a ball to his direction.
Keeping or breaking the promise? The conscience asked one last time, Choose what Ellie like. Theodore had a quick flash back at that sentence.
(flash back)
Without any second thought, the goldish bird quickly flew to the 'Freako Science' CD and hopped on it cheerfully.
"You really want that?" Dave asked curiously as the same thought went through his mind, "I thought he wanted to watch 'Wonderland'?"
"I'm sure," Theodore smiled as he caressed the tiny bird, "Anything Ellie wants," He smiled at his family, "I'm giving."
(flash back end)
Thank you, Ellie. Theodore scrutinised his eyes as the ball flew to him, fast and furious. He quickly spun his body around, and kicked the ball with all his force, remembering the time he always kicked his oven when it's jammed.
The soccer ball once again, flew through the field. Grasses flew up to the air as the ball passed by, escaping the legs of players and thrusted into the goal, making Theodore's team to cheer happily.
"He won!" Brittany screamed from the bleachers as everyone jumped up in happiness with that thought. Alvin's eyes widened as he stood up slowly, "Theodore won?" His gasp of surprise slowly turned into a grin. "He won!" He exclaimed enthusiastically as he and the pink-clad chipette embraced, too happy to believe this was the truth.
"Wow…" Dave sat down on the bleachers, still staring at the field, "Theodore scored?" He asked no one, almost mindlessly.
Simon chuckled as Jeanette looked to him, slightly confused with his action, "What a great couple…" He crossed his arm at the fence as Jeanette leaned beside him. "I once was unsure of their relationship…" He shook his head slightly as he smiled at the two green-clad chipmunks, "Guess they can really overcome anything." He grinned at his purple-clad friend. "With love." He finished slowly. (About Simon unsure of T/E relationship, refer to chapter nine.)
"Just like us…" Jeanette stood closer to him as Simon used his right arm to hold her waist, "A lovely couple." She smiled shyly.
Simon laughed softly and turned her body around to face him, touching her forehead with his own. "Sure is." He whispered sweetly before shortening the distance between their lips and kissed there, on the bleachers.
The green-clad chipmunk looked up to the sky again, as everyone cheered from their position.
Hey, Ellie? He asked himself as he closed his eyes slowly, Thank you… He shook his head lightly. You really changed my life… He smiled.
On that moment, Theodore swore he had heard the pattern of chirps came from no where, the one that he always yearns to listen. For so many years, he still recognised it, no matter what happens. (refer to one-shot, 'I never wanted to be strong'.)
I love you too… That sentence seemed to echo around his ears, grinning as he knew his bestfriend was proud of his action, making the right decision. When Theodore opened his eyes, he could see Alvin and Brittany hugging on the bleachers, happily. When his eldest brother noticed his was staring, Alvin held up a thumb, gesturing Theodore's well done work. Without thinking, Theodore replied with another thumb up.
"Theodore!" Eleanor shouted and sprinted towards him. He turned his focus to his girlfriend as she ran through the field with tears, happy that her boyfriend had helped her on so many occasion. Theodore smiled at his girlfriend from faraway, Who knew… He opened his arms widely. A tutoring could lead to this? He giggled lightly.
Right now… Eleanor throw her arms around his neck as they tongue kissed in middle of the field, making visitors to cheer for them. I have found the… Eleanor pulled back from the kiss as she nuzzled Theodore's nose with her own affectionately. Theodore grinned as he paused for awhile, stopping his thought and stared into the same brown-hazel eyes that he loved for his whole life.
Real love of my life…
Eleanor.
