Alvin and the Chipmunks
A Gift, the Truth and a Date
This story connects directly to the last episode of season 7 of the 80s series. Alvin learns of the true meaning of christmas. And deep inside he reveals something else he had to tell someone. In my stories the chipmunks and chipettes are 12, 13 years old. Some points in season 6 and 7 stand for this. Season 8 does not count for my fanfiction. Read and enjoy.
It was the afternoon of christmas day, as the doorbell rings at the Miller´s house. Eleanor opened the front door, the Chipmunks standing their, each of them with a present in his hands. " Hey boys, merry Christmas!" Eleanor smirked. Alvin hold the pink present he got with one hand up, and hugs her to her suprise. " Wish you a merry Christmas too, Eleanor!" He laughs happily. He enters the door, when Theodore hugs Eleanor. Simon smiles. " Well, since Alvin writes his essay about the true meaning of Christmas, it seems like he understands more than this! Merry Christmas from me too, Eleanor!" They walked inside the house. Brittany, Jeanette and Miss Miller sitting in the living room and drinking hot chocohlate, as the others came in. They greet each other, Miss Miller stood up. " Hey boys, merry Christmas! You want some hot chocolate too?" The Chipmunks affirm it. The guardian of the Chipettes walked into the kitchen. The boys and the girls hand each other their gifts. Theodore gets a new cookbook from Eleanor, she gets a signated soccerball. Both are very happy about their gifts. Simon gets a new microscope, Jeanette a book over astronomy. Both sit down on the couch together and looked through the book. Alvin handles Brittany her gift, as she hands im the one for him over. She open her gift, it was a pink leatherjacket with black applications. Sie smiles, as she pulled it on. " Oh, Alvin, it is so beautiful! Thank you!" She hugs him, he blushes a little bit. Then he open his gift. It was a bunch of new videogames he don´t habe. " Great, Brittany! Thanky you so much!" Now he hugs her, she giggles. Miss Miller comes in with cups of hot chocolate. The boys thank her and take their cups. They talk and drink the chocolate, then Alvin clears his throat and turned to Brittany. " Can, can i talk to you in private?" She raised her eyebrows, than she noods. " Okay, no problem!" She stood up and gives him a wink to follow her. The others looked a little confused, as Alvin followed her seemingly nervous. The two walked to the porch at the front door. Brittany leans against the railing and looks at him. " Now, what´s so important?" Alvin takes a deep breath. " Well, yesterday i get some thoughts about a lot. I had to write a essay about the true meaning of christmas and i realized something else. I must tell you something, just..." He hesitates. Brittany tilt her head a bit through the side. " And what?" Alvin gulps. " Well, uhm, we know each other for so long, and i...! Woah, this is so difficult!" Brittany pursed her lips. " Just say it, what´s the matter?" Alvin schratches his head. " Well, i, uhm!" He gets more and more nervous. Brittany sighs a bit annoyed. " Alvin ,what is it? You know, i don´t like playing games like this!" " I get it, Brittany! I..." " Alvin, what ist ?" " Don´t rush me!" " I DON`T RUSH YOU! JUST SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY!" " OH MAN! IT`S SO DIFFICULT, CAUSE YOU ARE ANNOYED DIRECTLY EVERY TIME!" " WHEN YOU DIDN`T GET THE POINT!" " I WANT TO DO!" " THEN TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO TELL!" " THIS IS NOT EASY, WHEN YOU GET SO LOUD!" " WHAT`S NOT SO EASY?" " TO TELL YOU THAT I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU!" " THAT YOU CALL DIFICULT? IT`S NOT EASY FOR ME TO ADMIT THAT I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU, CAUSE YOU COULD BE SO ANNOYING! OH!" " YOU SEE, HOW-WAIT, WHAT?" Both hesitate for a moment. They walked against each other and stood nose to nose, like in many of their arguments. But now they don´t fight now. Both were confused. Brittany takes hold as first. " Are, are you serious? Since when?" Alvin sighs. " Actually a while, one time more, one time less. And it grows with the time. I didn´t relazie it or suppress it, when we fight. And i´m tired of it. And since when you know?" Brittany rubs her forehead. " A while, too, i think. And i don´t want to believe it, only one time! Our Tv date in the treehouse!" He looks at her, as he realize. " Oh, uhm, it was after our conversation on the island. And it went wrong." He looks down ashamed. " And it was my fault. You know, i didn´t take it very serious, and then i get afraid of what it could become, i get panicked! You prepared it so big, i was so confused! That´s why it gets so bad! And i´m sorry about that!" Both remain silent for a moment. Brittany blows out loud. " Okay, now that this is clarified, what now?" Alvin wiggle his eyebrowes. " Don´t know, again a Date, a real one? And talking detailed about all?" She smiles. " and when it doesn´t work?" " Then it was hanging out with a friend!" He said. Brittany rock her head side to side. " Well, uhm, okay! We both going on an real Date and look, how it going?" " Something like that! I don´t want to hide it anymore, you know? Can´t take it longer!" She nodes. " What should i say? Well, what shall we do? The day after tomorow should be good, tomorrow is lunch with your mother!" Alvin brooding. " The movie theater and then to the Yogurt-Shop? Watching a movie and then how i said talking about the whole thing?" " Okay, sounds like a plan! Should we go inside? And sorry, that i´m getting loud!" She grin a bit embarrassed. Alvin shook his head. " I have to say sorry, we both are hotheaded. I´m getting loud too." Brittany hugs him suddenly. " You apologize, that´s rare! This is cute!" He smirks mischievously, then they enter the house. Alvin turned to her. " Do you think, the others noticed something?" When they enter the living room, their siblings are smirking, Miss Miller smiles mildly. Brittany gives Alvin an amused look. " Is this answering your question?
Both were pelt with questions by their siblings. Indeed, everyone, except Dave and Miss Miller, guess something for all the time, but they didn´t ask. Alvin and Brittany arranged to meet ant one PM, so they have enough time to talk. After the lunch with Vinny, the mother of the boys, Alvin was taken beside by his mother. " You going on a date with Brittany, do you like her?" Alvin nodes a little embarrassed. " A lot, of course!" Vinny smiles. " She is a nice girl, and if you like her so much, then show it to her!" She hugs her eldest boy. " You should do it, if you listen to your heart!" Alvin felt tears in his eyes, he hugs her back. " I do so!" She rubs his back. " I have to visit you boys more times, you grow up so fast!" Then they heard Dave. " Guys, have a seat, here comes the dessert!" They all sit down. Alvin looks to Brittany who sits on the other side of the table, both smirks a little embarrassed the whole day. They get no time to talk alone, the afternoon was too busy. When the Chipettes leave, Brittany hugs him for a moment. " See ya tomorrow, then we talk, okay?" He smiles and blushes a little bit.
Alvin rings the bell at the Miller´s house. Brittany open the door. " Hi, Alvin!" She wears the jacket she gets from him and a pink scarf. And the pink Sneakers, which she gets from Eleanor. Alvin wears his winterjacket and a red scarf. It´s not so cold as on Christmas eve, but the snow didn´t melted until now. He smirks. " You ready?" Brittany nodes, they say goodbye to Miss Miller and the other two Chipettes, then they move on. For a while both walk side by side in silence. It was unfamiliar to spend time together and knowing, what feelings both of them have for each other. Then Brittany takes the lead. " Your Mum, did she say something? She noticed something, for sure!" " She said it´s sweet! She wants to visit us more often because we grow up so fast! I think, she want to tell Dave some parenting tips!" Both giggles, then Brittany gets serious. " Why you didn´t tell all the time? I mean, i didn´t want to believe it, cause you´re so selfish, a show-off and flirting with all these girls, i hate that! Your reputation as a heartthrob! That you call me Toots and your jokes, especially about girls and sports! And your cheating in competitions!" Alvin sighs. " About girls and sports, i learned my lesson! And this heartthrobthing, to be honest, it´s more talking than practice. And why i said nothing? Cause you are selfish too and bossy and a little diva! And cheating, you know, i want to win every competition, at any costs! Honestly, i`m sorry for all that!" She nodes. " Me too!" She reaches him her hand. " Bury the hatchet?" He accepts. " And no more cheating in competitions, only against people who deserves it!" Brittany makes a grim face. " Like Missy Snootson or Uncle Harry!" Alvin nodes. Than he smiles. " You know, it was a relief to tell you!" She sighs. " For me it was a relief, too!" Then she smiles. " How long ago was your last Date?" Alvin raise an eyebrow. " The last one that happens or the last try?" " Both!" " Well, the last Date was some months ago and it was miserable! and the last try was for the school dance until the summer holidays!" Brittany looks suprised. " Really, so long ago? The weekend of the school dance, we had an concert, i think!" Alvin nodes. " Exactly! And you?" Brittany makes a throwing gesture with her hand. " The last one, well, too long ago. And the last try was for the Secret-Date-Dance, soon after the holidays. I tried to ask Ruben Walters, and it was a disaster." Alvin smiles. " Jeanette told Simon something, you three waiting in front of the wrong house. The boy there was too young and you girls get no date. Sounds really akward!" " It was and i wanted to sink in the ground at that moment!" Alvin giggles, then he turned to Brittany. " And after our school journalism about the drama class, you didn´t go on a date with Bart?" " Are you crazy? First, i´m flirting with him to raise you up, cause you´re so annoying that time, and second, that guy was a deaf nut. He didn´t realize anything around. One more point on the line of akward things." Alvin giggles again. " Okay, lets see if this not so akward as it felt!" Both laughed. Then the movie theater comes in sight.
" Which movie shall we watch?" Alvin stands in front of the movie posters in the foyer of the movie theater. Brittany considered with a finger on her chin. " Something romantic? I know, your favourite should be a Kung-Fu-Film or aliens or zombies! But on a Date?" " Yeah, i know! Maybe somethign funny?" Alvi nschratches his head. Then he sees a poster. " Romantic comedy, Forever yours, what about that?" " Oh, that one should be so sweet! Something to dream!" Brittany enthuse. Alvin gets two tickets, they get popcorn and softdrinks, then both went to the auditorium. Bittany grabs one of the softdrinks and links her arm with Alvin´s. Both looked at each other and smirked. It felt new, but nice. When they take their seats, Alvin looks at Brittany with a apologizing look. " I hope, it´s not too sappy but very funny!"
The movie wasn´t sappy. It was really bad. The Actors overstate, the dialogues are totally unrealistic and the scene images are as cheap as possible. Brittany didn´t like it, too. Both begin to make fun about the movie. Now Brittany makes fun of a dialog. " Smack, Frank, kiss me like you never kissed a woman before! Pease, who says smack?" Alvin laughs. " And kiss her like he never kissed a woman before? What, if he never kissed a woman until now? Only a watermelon with an painted face on!" Brittany laughs out loud. " Hahaha, and of course the melon should be disappointed!" A voice comes from the back of the auditorium. " Be quiet, we want to see that!" Alvin looked around. Most of the audience were couples, that are kissing and didn´t watch the movie at all. He looks behind. " So you are the only one! Are you here on your own?" Brittany places her hand in front of her mouth, giggeling. " Who watches a romantic movie alone?" Alvin grins mischievously. " Maybe, we can do something else than watching the movie!" He wiggles his eyebrowes. Brittany looked around, she saw the couples around. She gives Alvin a obliques look. " Slow down, Mister Seville! Kissing on a first date? So you are one of those boys, i see!" " Please, no, just an idea! If you want, we can go on making fun of that movie!" He kids around. Brittany smirks. " You are a rascal and you will be a rascal! But i have to admit, a cute rascal! And going on making fun of that movie, i´m with it! Otherwiese we have to demand our money back!" Another voice interrupt their conversation. " Hey, you little fellows, be quiet!" The usher stand beside them. " Just watch quiet and peaceful the movie or you have to leave! The other people here want to see that!" Both make an apologizing face. " SORRY!" The man nodes and walked away. Brittany looks after him, then she lower her voice and imitates him. " The other people here want to see that!" She laughs. " He don´t believes it by himself!" Now Alvin changes his voice. " Hey, you little fellows, be quiet!" Both giggles again. Then comes the next scene of the movie. The main actress runs chasing after a taxi. " FRANK, come back to me! Your my one and only! Without you my soul dies! Only you can save me! DON`T LEAVE!" Alvin and Brittany laughs out loud again. Brittany wipes a tear from her eye. " What a nonsense! No one talk like that, especially Romeo and Juliet!" Alvin goes on. " No wonder he leaves! She´s so stupid! And not pretty!" Brittany trembles with laughter. " If they had a script? Perhaps three rows on a napkin!" " Brittany, it´s time you enter Hollywood! They need someone with talent!" She giggles, as she pinch his cheek. " Thank you! Debbie of my drama class was better than that guys!" " You mean the girl, that walks left to right on the stage or playing a tree?" Asks Alvin, Brittany nodes. " Yes, she got ore talent than that!" Suddenly they hear some noises fro mbehind. Both looked back. The usher comes towards them. " Okay, lets go, the end of the movie wouldn´t be better!" Alvin whispers. Brittany nodes with a grin. " Wel, it will be!" She giggles. " Because it´s over then!" Both jump up with a laughter and run to the side entrance. The usher pursues them. " STOP, YOU BRATS! I CALL YOUR PARENTS!" Alvin kids around. " FOR THAT YOU MUST CATCH US FIRST!"
Music begins, when Alvin and Brittany leave the auditorium. They run in circles around the people there, the usher behind them.
Alvin: They don´t stop us, they can´t do, cause we´re to fast, me and you.
Brittany: On our own ,we may fall, but together, we can win it all.
Both: When we rush, you only see steam, just because we´re the BEST TEAM!
Alvin runs under a table to the front door, Brittany jumps over a desk and make a somersault.
Alvin: We take the lead, as you can see, the best together, you and me.
Brittany: Side to side, we win the game, just the others, they take the blame.
Both: When we rush, you only see steam, just because we´re the BEST TEAM!
Alvin open the front door and hold it as Brittany slides through it. Then they both running giggeling to the parking area.
Alvin and Brittany hide behind a van on the parking area. As both sneak around the corner, they saw, that the usher search for them in the entrance area of the theater. When he looks under a bench where´s no space to hide for someone, both giggles with their hands before their mouths. Alvin puts a finger in the side of his head. " Well, that´s no candidate for a nobel price, for sure!" Brittany nodes. " Maybe he´s related to Bart, that guy´s not smarter!" Now both laughs again, as silent as they can. Alvin held is stomach. " That´s the best date i ever had! Long ago that i had so much fun!" Brittany giggles. " Really, we had to make this earlier!" She leans her hand on his shoulder, as they laugh again. Both looked beside the van. The usher looks one last time around and went back to the movie theater. Alvin turned to Brittany. " Should we go to the Yogurt-Shop?" She nodes. As she puts her hand off his shoulder, he grabs it softly. " Can, can I?" He asks hesistantly. Brittany blinks, than she nodes again. " Yes, of course!" She links her fingers with his, than they wander to the Yogurt-Shop.
