(Alvin Sr.'s POV)

There was a pit in my stomach while I sat and looked at my luggage. This was really happening... in just a few minutes I would be leaving Wonthaggi for the last time and be on my way to my homeland with my new family.

I had already said my goodbyes to the Fetchers, I thanked them for taking me in and watching over me. They were sad to see me go but they understood why I had to do it.

Chelsea was very sad when I told her I was leaving. She made me promise to come back and see her as often as I could.

I took a deep breath and went to the living room where everyone had gathered to say their goodbyes.

The air was a sad one as everyone said goodbye.

The Chipettes were all hugging Chelsea, and the four of them were crying. Though I couldn't help but smile seeing that Chelsea and Ricko were each wearing a blue button down shirt. See, after their amazing capture of Ian they had earned quite a reputation and were even given a place on the police force, specializing in foot chases through the wilderness.

AJ, Simon and Theodore were all standing in Ricko's open paws and talking to him about his new job.

Dave was thanking the Fetchers for their hospitality over the past few weeks.

Chelsea saw me and waved me over to her with her free paw and I ran over to her. She lifted me up and held me close with The Chipettes. "I'm going to miss you, Alvin", she looked down at me as tears fell from her eyes.

I fought back tears, "I'm going to miss you too, Chelsea", I hugged her along side The Chipettes.

"You better take care of yourself", she held me tight against her chest and I almost couldn't breath.

Dave looked at his watch and frowned, "It's time guys, we need to go if we're going to catch our plane..."

Chelsea and The Chipettes' sobs increased and even I began to cry a little. I was going to miss them all, but it was time for me to move on with my son and my new family.

Chelsea put us down and we all gathered our luggage while the boys did the same.

We all made our way out to the rental car Dave had picked up and I paused and looked back over my family. Chelsea was still crying and Ricko was smiling. Alyson was sad but smiled and waved. Leonard gave me a wink and waved to me.

Dave put all of our luggage in the trunk and got in the driver's seat.

"I'm going to miss you all so much!", I called to them as the other six chipmunks all took their seats in the back seat of the car.

I hopped up into the front passenger's seat through the open window and gave on last wave before Dave buckled me in and pulled out of the driveway. I watched the mirror as we drove away and my old home began to shrink from sight.

Two weeks later

It's been two weeks since we got back to L.A and I was just starting to get the hang of this manager thing. I was nearly overwhelmed at the start by just how popular The Chipmunks and Chipettes were. Dave helped me for the first week and showed me the ropes of dealing with people in the recording business

Once the news that after a long and heroic journey through Australia Alvin had found his long lost father and that the Chipmunks and Chipettes were now dating hit the internet, we're betting Alvin leaked the story himself but we have no proof yet, there was a huge uproar for a concert to celebrate, and the fans wanted me to preform along side the other two groups.

Dave's place was a mess due to the new sleeping arrangements. Since the boys and girls were no longer aloud to sleep in the same room the boys were sleeping in the living room with me. Dave was frantically searching for a bigger place but he was having trouble finding one that was close to the L.A area.

We had all shared a good laugh when we got the news that Ian was transported to an American prison and would not be getting out for a long time. Serves him right I think.

I had spent most of the day on the phone getting this concert set up as soon as possible. I had the date and the venue set up. Now all that was left was getting all of the publicity worked out.

I took a small brake to just have a moment to breath. I enjoyed the relative silence, the only sound that was in the house was Dave quietly strumming on a guitar and whispering lyrics to himself for a new song that we would all be singing together at the show. The reason the house was so quiet was because the kids were spending the day at the park.

My moment of silence was broken by the sound of the phone ringing. It was our publicity guy. I answered it and after a short conversation we got the last details worked out and everything was set in stone. I hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.

Needing to relax after all the stress of setting up my first show, I ran over to the couch I called my bed and laid down to take a short nap.

(Alvin Jr.'s POV)

Being back home was great and having my dad come back with us was even better. The six of us were running around the park and playing tag. We had all agreed to give Dave and Dad some time to get the up coming concert set up.

I was excited to get up on stage again. The thought of the seven of us preforming together had me practically counting the minuets until the show.

As I chased Brittany and Theodore around the park I couldn't help but think of Chelsea and Ricko and how much fun it would be if they were here, playing with us.

I manged to catch up to Brittany and tag her. She stopped in reaction, which caused us both to trip and fall to the ground. I landed on top of her, "Are you alright?", I asked as she looked up at me.

She nodded and smiled, "Ya but I don't think I want to play tag anymore", she giggled. I loved it when she laughed.

"I can think of something else for us to do", I gave her one of my famous smiles.

I leaned my head down and kissed her. After a few seconds we heard Theodore call to us from the tree he had ran up and was clinging to, "Does that mean we're done with tag then?"

I pulled away from her and we both laughed. "Ya, lets play hide and seek!", I suggested.

Brittany and Theodore both agreed with me and even Simon, Jeanette and Eleanor, who had sat out the last game of tag, decided to join in.

"So who's going to be it?", Theodore asked as he reached the group and stood next to Eleanor.

"We decided the same way we always do... Rock, Paper, Scissors!", we all balled our paws up into a fist and got ready.

I began to count down, "Three... Two... One... Go!", our paws all took shape and as if the stars alined against me everyone else chose rock while was left the only one with scissors.

I covered my eyes, "That's cool, I like seeking anyway!"

I heard them all scamper off with a giggle as I began to count back from fifty. I smiled while I counted, it felt good to be home and have everything return to normal.
