Chapter 38 XD

From now on I am in College (English college starts when you're 16) so updates will be less frequent.

Alvin was practically marching down the stairs with Simon hot on his heels. "Alvin! Please! Slow down"Simon strained quietly, he didn't want to cause a fuss but he also knew that Alvin wouldn't answer or stop with made him rather angry that his brother was ignoring him so much. Causing a big family fuss though was at the bottom of his list so when Alvin walked over to the couch on the opposite side to Brian Simon knew something must have happened between the two, he would have to have a talk with Brian later; Alvin wasn't going to take on the big brother role so Simon felt he should give it a shot himself.

When both reached the bottom of the stairs Alvin walked straight to the kitchen which Simon thought was rather odd considering he normally went straight to Brittany, perhaps he was hungry? That's got to be it, right?

Simon walked over to Jeanette and Jason who were both chatting about something or other and unless it was Simons imagination was Jeanette blushing? Simon jumped up next to Jeanette, grabbed his book, sat down and started reading without saying word which caused him to get a weird look from Jeanette.

Jason was about to ask Simon what was wrong but a call from his older brother stopped him in his tracks.

"Hey Jase! Eth! I think you two might wanna come see this. Britt turn it up"

Jason rolled his eyes assuming it was just something about the English soccer results or something of minor importance. He placed down his book and jumped of his seat and headed towards the couch.
"Alright Brian what is it?" Jason asked with annoyance and looked at the TV but had to double take. There on the screen was a weeping middle aged woman being inconsoled by a man of around Daves age. If it could've Jasons jaw would have hit the floor. It was their foster parents back in England!

'I don't believe this!' Jason thought whilst bringing his paw up to his mouth to cover it. 'I just don't believe this'

"Glad to know that they miss us eh?" Brian said still smiling but looking at the TV sort of nostalgiclly. Ethan said on the edge of the couch with his knees pulled up and his head resting on them. He sighed deeply.
"Yeah Brian, it's a real comfort(!)" Jason replied with slight sarcasm as he watched his foster parents in England weep and beg for information.

'I can't watch this' Jason thought, jumped from the couch and headed for the front door.
"Where you headed Jase?" Brian called looking over to his sibling. Jason turned his head partway and called back:
"I'm going for a walk to clear my head. Would you turn that off?"

Brittany quickly turned the TV off otherwise it would be deemed arrogant. A light thud sounded that Ethan was following his older brother for the walk. Brian sighed and decided to follow his brothers.

Jeanette looked down at where Jason was stood; he was trying hard to show that he wasn't aching which was clear from his actions. He hid his emotions so much that you wouldn't be able to tell whether he was having a good day or a bad one. The three English chipmunks left the house closing the door after them and walked in silence.

1pm came and passed and the english chipmunks were still nowhere to be seen or heard from, then 2pm, then 3 and finally 4. This was when emotions were running sky high, Jeanette was listening to every single noise and constantly looked out of the window. She was really worried and wanted to look or them but surely they would be coming back from their walk soon?

Brittany and Alvin had broken out into an argument, which Alvin had started, about Brian. There was nothing in particular about him Alvin just started to bad mouth him around 2pm and Brittany didn't know why but she felt that Alvin was being just a bit too harsh on him and had defended him.

Claire was around helping Theodore and Eleanor cook dinner. They were having a stir-fry but Eleanor seemed to be very detached than normal and she kept spending a few minutes here and there to look at the door. The worry was building up inside her and she could feel it. Eventually she couldn't bare it.

"I won't be a minute" Eleanor told Theodore as she headed for the door pulling on her tiny jacket. Jeanette looked up at Eleanor from her book and Brittany ignored Alvin to look at her sister.
"I'm just concerned is all" Eleanor said choosing her words carefully to make sure she didn't let on how worried she really was. Jeanette practically jumped at the oppurtunity.
"It's dangerous on your own Ellie, so I'll come with you". Jeanette and Ellie smiled at one another before Brittany's voice interrupted them.
"The chipette group isn't completed without me!" she declared and ran to her sisters. This was a way of ignoring Alvins childish arguing.

Claire looked at the small group concerned "You can't just leave on your own" she said to three chipettes. They looked at her puzzled, was she going to come too? Claire went up the stairs and returned a few minutes later with Dave who seemed to be clear on the situation.
"Claire told me of what's happened and I agree that you can't leave on your own so I'm coming with you"
The chipette gave a quiet cheer and headed for the door before Theodore jumped down from his counter in the kitchen and headed to join the chipettes.
No words were needed it was clear that altough he and Ethan weren't on the greatest of terms that he did want to be sure that his friend was alright.
Simon saw Eleanor and Theo grin at eachother and noticed Jeanette looking at him sideways probablt hoping that he would come too, he mentally sighed and jumped down asking exasperatedly "Can I come too?"

"Of course" Jeanette smiled. Only one 'munk left who was looking at his brothers as if they'd gone insane.

"Come on Alvin" Brittany pryed. He looked at her and shook his head slightly 'I can't believ I'm doing this! Somebody stop me!'

He hopped down from the couch and drug his feet to the group.

After about 10 minutes the group were in the car and Claire was waving goodbye. She went back in to keep an eye on dinner. The chipettes called out the car windows and so did the munks but half-heartedly. When they came across a long street something silver caught their eye, silver...what a cage with three animals inside?

Claire was turning to stir-fry to simmer but couldn't relaxed as she remained worried. In such a short time she had become attached to the three newbies especially Ethan. She remembered the time when Ethan had clung to her leg and called her 'Alice'. He had looked so cute and sweet.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud knock from the door, perhaps they had found them and Dave forgot his house keys? Nope, he always kept them with him. So who could it be? She stood up and walked to the door but the second she opened it she regretted it.

Alvin was creased over in laughter and Simon was trying his best not to laugh aswell. Brian, Jason and Ethan were locked in a cage saying something about 3 chipettes but it barely be heard over the laughter.

"There were these 3 chicks which were Spanish-" Brian started
"Mexican" Jason corrected.
"Mexican, who locked us in this cage, there were really...Jase what were they?"
"Coniving"
"Yeah, coniving! One of them was hyper as anything, one of them was just a plain bitch and the last was pretty alright" Brian concluded thinking on an albino chipette whose name he had quickly forgotten.
"You mean the one who locked us in the cage?" Jason asked his brother like he was an idiot.
"Whatever"

Dave was trying to pull off the lid before he finally said "This has been gnawed at pretty badly!"

"Oh yeah, April did that" Ethan cringed pointing to the gnawed lid.

If you haven't read Las Mes then you won't understand a single thing of what these are talking about. I reccommend for everybody to read it because it blows mine out of the water no problem! So what you waiting for go read it NOW! I've re-read it about 5 times and it never gets old! ^^ Anywho, question time:

Who is at the door and why does Claire regret opening it?

Will they ever get BATC out of the cage?

Who do you think is at the door?

Bai for now
