Hi, everyone, Awesomo3000 here, and I am back with a new Chipwrecked chapter!

I'm sorry for the late update. I was at my dad's hockey match in Birmingham for the weekend. Grrr, I hate sport… That and I had to go to a family BBQ. But now I'm back and the Easter holidays are here! :) Yaaaay, chocolate eggs!

Anyways, here's the next chapter of Chipwrecked! Hope you all enjoy it! Please read and review!

Chapter 25: Wouldn't Change a Thing

Meanwhile, Charlene led Alvin up the tree branch steps up to her treehouse at the very top of the tree. She had that evil, sneaky smile planted on her face. She was now sure she had won Alvin over and beaten that lousy Brittany. And she was hoping that this "surprise" she had in store for Alvin would make him even more head-over-heels for her.

But Alvin's face, however, was more upset and guilty-looking. Sad, because Brittany now didn't like him anymore and refused to speak to him. And guilty, because he didn't suspect something strange about Charlene before and he didn't tell Brittany his true feelings for her sooner. Now it was too late.

"Okay, Alvie, just follow me." Charlene called as they made it onto the balcony, snapping Alvin out of his thoughts. Hesitantly, the red clad chipmunk followed Charlene into her treehouse made of sticks and straw. As soon as he was in, Charlene quietly closed the door behind them, a sly and cunning smirk on her face. Alvin stood in the middle of the house, curiously looking around him.

"Alright, Charlene. Now what is this "surprise" you wanted to show me?" he asked. Smiling flirtatiously, Charlene took Alvin's paw and led him towards one of the doors inside the house.

"This way, Alvin." she replied teasingly, opening the door and leading him inside. Alvin looked around the room in wonder. He was in the bedroom of the treehouse. There was a round window on the left wall, showing a great view of the beach and the horizon. And right in the centre of the room was a big square bed, the mattress made out of straw with a blanket made out of leaves and flower petals lying on top of it. And the walls were all decorated with bright pink, red or purple flowers. Alvin couldn't take his eyes off this brightly-coloured bedroom.

"Wow, this is nice." he said at last, as Charlene once again shut the bedroom door behind him, grinning wickedly to herself.

"I'm glad you think so, Alvie." she responded in a flirtatious manner, coming up behind him and gently massaging his shoulders. This only succeeded in making Alvin shudder rather than making him feel relaxed. Quickly, he pulled away and turned around so that he was facing Charlene.

"So then, tell me, what's the surprise?" he asked sceptically. Smiling, the red clad Chipette walked past him and gently sat down on the left side of the bed, one of her legs bent up. Grinning coyly, she gestured a finger towards Alvin as if to say "Come here". Then both of Alvin's brown eyes widened as he finally realised what the surprise was.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa!" he cried, backing away and shaking his head, "No! Uh-uh! Nope! No way! Negative! Ain't happening!" Charlene's smile slowly began to fade.

"What's the matter, Alvie?" she asked, still rather flirtatiously, "Don't you love me?"

"No, it's not that! Well it is that, but… well… what I mean is… I just…" Alvin stuttered. He was quickly cut off when Charlene stood up and yanked Alvin by the front of his sweater onto the other side of the bed.

"Come on, Alvie. You know you want to." she said coyly. Shaking his head again, Alvin sat up.

"No way! Charlene, how can you even think of such a thing?" he asked.

"It's just my way of showing how much I love you, Alvie." Charlene replied.

"Well, yeah, but I didn't know you loved me this much!" Alvin cried, "Charlene, I do like you but not love you." Finally, Charlene's flirty smile disappeared completely from her face.

"This is about that Brittany girl, isn't it?" she snapped, "Isn't it, Alvin?"

"Yes, it is, Charlene!" Alvin responded, not willing to let her take control of him anymore, "I love her now, not you!"

"Why, Alvin?" Charlene yelled, anger clear in her green eyes, "Why do you love her instead of me? What does she have that I don't have, huh? Tell me!" Glaring at his old girlfriend, Alvin sighed.

"Okay, I'll tell you." he said, "First off, she is the most beautiful chipmunk I have ever seen in my entire life. She's like the girl of my dreams. She's nice, smart, pretty, sweet, quite stubborn at times but kind when she needs to be. And her hair is so smooth and beautiful, the way she always primps it in the mornings. And we share so much in common. We both sing, we're both competitive, and we sometimes argue but make up in the end. And her voice is just amazing, she sounds like an angel, not to mention she had the beautiful face of one too. In short, she is the perfect girl for me." His voice softened slightly as he thought about everything he loved about Brittany. But his face then became a frown as he continued talking.

"You, on the other hand, are the complete opposite." he continued, "You're not the Charlene I once knew. The Charlene I knew was kind, fun-loving, nice and happy. But now she's just turned into an evil, manipulative, cunning chipmunk! It's because of you, my chances of ever being together with Brittany are now destroyed, ruined, gone! And all because you couldn't accept the fact that we were over and I wanted to be with her! Do you even have any idea how much pain you have caused me? Ever since you saw me again, you've been trying to steal me away from her! And don't try to deny it, Charlene, cos you know it's true!" As he ranted, Charlene was beginning to look a little frightened, backing away slightly to the edge of the bed. Alvin saw this and softened a bit.

"Listen, Charlene." he said calmly, "We had a lot of great times together. And I know that you still love me. But that was in the past. Things have changed. I love Brittany now, not you. I've moved on, Charlene. It's time you did the same. I'm sorry, but… you have to let me go. It's over." With that, Alvin stood up and walked out of the bedroom, out of the treehouse, down the steps and into the jungle, leaving behind a shocked and frozen Charlene sitting on the bed.

Meanwhile, Brittany was wandering aimlessly through the jungle growth, head hung as she pushed past leaves, bushes and sticks that were in her way. She just couldn't stop thinking about the argument she had with Alvin. And she was feeling guilty for it. Guilty because she had yelled at the one and only chipmunk she had ever loved in her entire life. She just wanted to find him, hug him, and smother him with forgiving kisses. But she just couldn't forgive him, not after what she had seen in the treehouse between him and that witch of a chipmunk, Charlene. No matter how much she wanted to.

"Brittany!" called a voice. Her ears pricking up slightly, Brittany turned to see where the voice had come from. Just then, Alvin burst through the wall of bushes and leaves on her right, panting heavily and clutching his chest. Glaring at him, Brittany turned away from him, her arms folded across her chest. Before she could walk away, Alvin quickly ran up to her and grabbed her shoulder.

"Brittany, please just hear me out!" Alvin said, catching his last breath.

"What is it?" Brittany asked impatiently, not bothering to look at Alvin.

"Britt, I'm really sorry for what you saw. And for ignoring you ever since I ran into Charlene again." he replied gently.

"You should be, Alvin!" Brittany said, pushing his paw off her shoulder, "Do you know how much pain I've been going through ever since you saw her again?"

"Yes, I do. And I'm sorry." Alvin responded sincerely, "But I don't love her anymore."

"Yeah, right." Brittany muttered, not turning round.

"No, really, I don't, Britt!" he said, "In fact, I just broke up with her!" Brittany's electric blue eyes widened slightly with interest.

"You… did?" she asked, turning her head around slightly.

"Yes." Alvin replied, "I don't want to be with her, Brittany. I want you. I need you." Brittany turned a little more so she was almost facing her male counterpart completely. But then she shook her head.

"No. No, we can't be together, Alvin." she said, "If we're in a relationship, we'll just end up getting into an argument and breaking up with each other. And then…"

"And then we'll get back together again." Alvin said gently, tilting her chin up so she was facing him, "Don't you see, Brittany? That's what makes us special. We fight over the smallest things, we seem like we hate each other, but then we make up in the end. That's how it's always been between us as friends. Why should this be any different?" Neither of them said anything for the longest time. Finally, Brittany opened up her mouth and began to sing:

It's like he doesn't hear a word I say
His mind is somewhere far away
And I don't know how to get there
It's like all he wants is to chill out
He makes me wanna pull all my hair out
Like he doesn't even care

Then, smiling, Alvin joined in with her singing:

You, me
We're face to face
But we don't see eye to eye

Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
You're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing

Smiling at his female counterpart, Alvin took over the singing:

She's always trying to save the day
Just wanna let my music play
She's all or nothing
But my feeling's never change

Then Brittany took over:

Why does he try to read my mind?
It's not good to psychoanalyze
That's what all of my friends say

And then, they sang in unison again for the final part of the song, both of them holding hands and gently dancing in a circle:

You, me
We're face to face
But we don't see eye to eye

Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
but you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing

When I'm yes, she's no
When I hold on, he just lets go
We're perfectly imperfect
But I wouldn't change a thing, no

Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
but you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing

But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
but you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a
Wouldn't change a thiiiing

The two dancing chipmunks finally concluded the song and stopped dancing, both of them looking into each other's eyes, Brittany into Alvin's deep brown eyes, and Alvin into Brittany's gorgeous electric blue eyes. Finally Brittany spoke.

"Alvin… I'm sorry. For everything." she said softly, "I should have believed you when you told me you didn't mean to kiss her, and I wouldn't have hated you."

"I'm sorry too, Brittany." Alvin replied, "I should have told you about my feelings for you sooner. If I had, then none of this would have ever happened." Brittany then smiled at him.

"Well then, can you tell me them now?" she asked sweetly. Smiling back at her, Alvin leant in close and whispered gently into her ear.

"I love you, Brittany." he said, "Always have and always will." With that, he leant into her face, closing his eyes until their lips finally met. A spark of electricity instantly shot through their bodies and the kiss became more loving and passionate. The feeling was just incredible. Alvin gently caressed the back of Brittany's hair as she moaned quietly in pleasure. Finally, after a full minute of passionate kissing, the two chipmunks finally pulled apart and looked into each other's eyes.

"And I love you too, Alvin Seville." Brittany replied with a smile on her face, "Always have and always will." She then planted a soft kiss on her cheek.

"So does this mean we're a couple now?" Alvin asked.

"Yes. Yes, it does, Alvin." the pink bikinied Chipette responded. With that, Alvin and Brittany both leant into each other again, giving each other another gentle passionate kiss on the lips. It was official: Alvin's dream of being together with Brittany had finally come true. They were a couple now. And that's how it was going to stay.
