Hi again... now for chapter 21, PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW so I don't feel like I'm doing this for no reason: s. Hope you like the chapterxxx
Dave woke up bright and early, feeling awful, his eyes slowly slid open when he then realised that he had fallen asleep on the couch, he stood up with his legs shaking and cracked his back, which made him groan a little, he then closed his eyes tightly and did the same with his neck, his face went back to normal again and he took a deep sigh as he looked at Theodore and Eleanor sleeping together on the couch, as he did. When Dave saw Simon and Jeanette, his eyes widened in shock. Simon's head was flopped to the side, sitting up right when Jeanette's head was on top of Simon's chest, she had a small smile on her face and they were sharing a blanket between them. Dave smiled and let out a small laugh at this when he then slumped his way up to the bedroom where Alvin and Brittany were. Again... Dave was surprised by the position they were in, mind you... Dave knew for a fact that they were actually going out, for real, so he understood it more. Just then a thought flooded Dave's mind, where he imagined himself, 10 years from now as a granddad, watching a lot of small chipmunks running around the house, causing more havoc. Dave quickly shook his head to get rid of the thought and his attention was brought back to Alvin and Brittany. Dave gently shook the two sleeping chipmunks, while they both stirred and faced the wall, usually Dave would now be annoyed and start shouting, but one, Alvin was very ill. Two, he had just revelled a secret that he's been holding in for 7 years and three, it was a very late night for everyone. Dave was debating whether to actually make them go to school today; Alvin did need all of the support he could get after all. Dave knew this idea was silly, especially when the thought of grades and future came into mind, Dave forgot about it and shook them again, quietly saying their names.
"Alvin... Brittany... time to wake up" Dave whispered, suddenly both of the chipmunks groaned and sat upright as they started to rub their eyes.
"w-what?" Brittany asked, looking around confused, once she saw Dave she sighed in despair, and Dave knew why.
"Alvin... how do you feel?" Dave asked the red-clad chipmunk, who slowly rolled his head up at Dave and sighed.
"Horrible..." Alvin replied, half asleep, Dave frowned and felt Alvin's forehead, when he quickly pulled his finger away.
"Jeez Alvin, your fever just gets worse and worse, I'll be right back" Dave added as he quickly belted out of the room. Brittany faced Alvin and yawned.
"Good morning" she said very sleepily, Alvin rolled his eyes at her almost annoyed, but he wasn't... he was just extremely tired and cranky like he always was in the morning.
"Is it really?" Alvin asked sarcastically owning a small smile from Brittany, she then leant in and kissed Alvin on the cheek, when he then faced her and smiled.
"So... did you have another nightmare after we fell asleep?" Brittany asked, slowly becoming more awake, it was then that Alvin peeked up, even though it ached and his eyes grew.
"Actually... no, mind you... the whole of last night was a nightmare" Alvin replied then going back into his tired ways, he got a very concerned look from Brittany.
"Aww, I'm sorry" Brittany replied, putting a comforting hand on Alvin's shoulder, Alvin returned a small smile to her.
"I-it's not your fault Britt...it's mine, if I wasn't stupid enough to go out when she said not to in the first place, it wouldn't of happened... she's gone forever, she's not ever coming back, and it's all my fault" Alvin said lowering his ears, a small tear ran down his face.
"Alvin... you didn't mean too" Brittany reminded; Alvin sniffed and tried to hold more tears from flooding out of his eyes.
"It doesn't matter... I'm a killer" Alvin replied. It hurt Brittany to see Alvin like this, she didn't want to leave his side, yet she knew she had too. Brittany had to let Alvin know that she'll always be there for him, but how? Just then she got an idea and started to sing.
Life is full of lots of up and downs And when you need a shoulder to cry on All of the times when everything is wrong Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on And when the whole world is gone
And the distance feels further
When you're headed for the ground
And there is nothing more painful than to let your feelings take you down
It's so hard to know the way you feel inside
When there's many thoughts and feelings that you hide
But you might feel better if you let me walk with you
By your side
When you need a friend to rely on
When the whole world is gone
You won't be alone, cause I'll be there
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I'll be there
I'll be a friend to rely on
When the whole world is gone
You won't be alone, cause I'll be there
And you're feeling like
There's no use going on
You can't
I hope you work it out and carry on
Side by side,
With you till the end
I'll always be the one to firmly hold your hand
No matter what is said or done
Our love will always continue on
Everyone needs a friend to rely on
When the whole world is gone
You won't be alone cause I'll be there
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I'll be there
I'll be the one you rely on
When the whole world's gone
You won't be alone
'Cause I'll be there
You'll always have my shoulder to cry on
Alvin smiled and pulled Brittany into a hug.
"Thanks Britt" Alvin said to her, Brittany returned the hug and kissed him gently on the cheek.
"Any time" she replied, two small giggles came from them both when Dave then came storming into the room again.
"okay Alvin lay down" Dave ordered, Alvin did as told, he felt a small wave of pain go through his head and he rested on the pillow again, making him flinch a little. In Dave's hand was a small kitchen towel, with some ice wrapped inside it, Dave gently put the cold ice pack onto Alvin's head, making Alvin sigh, the ice felt great on his, almost hot enough to erupt head.
"Thanks Dave" Alvin said, Dave smiled down at Alvin.
"you're welcome... now before you fall asleep again, let me tell you what's happening, I'm still going to have to go to work as I'm not allowed any time off, but I've asked Claire to come and babysit until I get back and soon the doctor will be here, checking up on you, so be prepared to have to wake up very shortly" Dave announced, Alvin shut his eyes and nodded weakly as he soon fell into a deep sleep, Dave stroked his head a little and frowned.
"Please, let him get better soon" Dave said, receiving a look from Brittany, she climbed up onto Dave's shirt and soon her barrier broke and she too was crying uncontrollably for Alvin's health. Dave returned the hug to Brittany and stoked her back gently.
"Must I go to school?" Brittany asked with pleading eyes, Dave sighed.
"As much as I don't want to... I can't, I'm sorry there's nothing I can do" Dave replied sadly, Brittany frowned again and Dave carried her out of the bedroom and down stairs. Dave and Brittany took one last glance at Alvin, before Dave closed the door leaving Alvin in peace... for a while that is. Dave carried Brittany downstairs and once they were at the bottom he let her go. Brittany ran to the couch where she saw Simon and Jeanette, her eyes grew with shock at first, but then a small smile replaced it.
"Aww, they're so cute together" Brittany cooed, Dave smiled.
"Well... they're definitely getting more friendly" Dave added, a small giggle came from them both and then Brittany hopped onto the couch next to her sister Jeanette, lightly shaking her shoulder.
"Jeanette... time to wake up" Brittany whispered, Jeanette's eyes slowly fluttered open when she realised a huge yawn, stretching her arms in the air, Brittany giggled.
"Yeah, I'm tired too" Brittany joked getting a small smile from Jeanette. Jeanette looked at Simon next to her and suddenly all of the memories from last night flooded her mind again, she quickly jumped up excited and held onto both of Brittany's shoulders. Both Brittany and Dave looked at her with their eye brows raised.
"You will never guess what happened last night" Jeanette blurted out, suddenly Brittany and Dave got where she was going.
"Erm... you proved Einstein's theory to be wrong?" Brittany asked.
"No, you needed help with your homework?" Dave guessed, each guess they took, Jeanette's smile slowly started to lower with disappointment and annoyance.
"NO!" She belted, this instantly made Brittany and Dave to stop talking, they never heard Jeanette do that before, but like always Jeanette was proud whenever she did something, she wasn't expected to do.
"Wow, you guys are lousy guessers" Jeanette added, she rolled her eyes and then stood proudly.
"Guess, who asked me to the New Years Ball?" Jeanette added, she saw Brittany's and Dave's mouths slowly open when she stopped them.
"Okay... don't guess" she added, they quietened again and she started going red with excitement.
"Simon asked me" she rushed; Dave smiled while Brittany's eyes grew wide. Jeanette and Brittany both ran together and hugged screaming like little girls.
"I told you we could do it" Brittany said, holding her hand flat out, Jeanette high fived Brittany when she heard a grown come from Simon. Jeanette started to get excited and she quickly made sure her hair was okay. She was almost becoming a new Brittany. Wait... what? When Jeanette realised that she was not happy, and felt quite ashamed of herself, sure she loved Brittany, but she had one of the worst attitudes ever especially when it came to boys and being all girly. Simon always said he liked her for being her; she didn't get him to ask her because of Brittany, he asked her because she was being herself. Jeanette froze and then stopped messing around with how she looked; some sense was finally knocked into her. Once she had calmed down she sat back down next to Simon.
"Morning" she said cheerfully, Simon saw her and smiled while he too let out a huge yawn.
"morning Jeanette" he replied, leaning over and gently kissing her on the cheek, Jeanette went a bright scarlet red, that was clearly visible, even with her fur, Simon noticed and smiled at her.
"There's my Jeanette" he said, Jeanette leant on his shoulder and returned the kiss on the cheek, Brittany had never been so proud. Just then Dave quickly looked at his watch.
"Can you guys wake Theodore and Eleanor while I make breakfast?" Dave asked.
"Yes Dave" they replied in unison, sweetly, Dave smiled and walked away to the kitchen where he got to work on breakfast. Suddenly as if on cue, Theodore and Eleanor started waking up at the exact same time.
"Well, that was easy" Brittany said, Simon then walked over to Theodore.
"Morning Theo" Simon greeted while rustling Theodore's fur; Theodore smiled and stood up joyfully.
"Morning Elli" Jeanette added, getting the same response Theodore gave Simon. Suddenly a great smell entered the room and they all inhaled greatly.
"Mmm, toaster waffles" Eleanor said, licking her lips, Theodore then felt his stomach grumble and started rubbing it. Eleanor smiled and giggled at this causing Theodore to blush.
"So how's Alvin?" Eleanor asked Brittany, hearing Alvin's name and remembering what he was going through made everyone silent and look at Brittany.
"He's still pretty bad, he's sleeping at the moment, and while we're at school Claire will be babysitting and waiting for the doctor to arrive" Brittany replied, everyone frowned and all hoped Alvin would soon be better the room was filled with awkward silence until...
"BREAKFAST IS READY!" Dave called from the kitchen; all of the chipmunks snapped out of it and started scurrying to the table when they found their toaster waffles already on their plates.
"Wow, that was fast" Simon stated. Dave then came and sat down at the table with then and had a sip of orange juice.
"Well, that's the beauty of toaster waffles, they're quick and easy in the mornings" Dave replied.
"Don't forget, the wonderful taste they carry" Theodore added, everyone giggled at this while Theodore sat, looking quite serious about it.
"Yes Theo, we can't forget that" Dave replied, leaving the room in silence again until they had all finished.
"okay... guys I'm trusting you to walk to school on your own today, I'm going to have to stay here until Claire arrives for Alvin" Dave explained, he got nods from everyone and smiled.
"Simon, Jeanette... you're in charge" Dave said.
"Thanks Dave" they replied in unison, and then they all hopped off from the table and grabbed their bags near the door, hopping through the cat flap.
"BYE FALLAS, HAVE A NICE DAY!" Dave called just as they disappeared.
