Disclaimer: This Fanfic was written months before the Quarantine of 2020, hence why it's comically outdated. But please read as most of the story doesn't take place in 2020.

Hello this is not just my first Chipmunk fanfic but also my first serious one. The previous fanfic I wrote was just a joke and I didn't care about proper paragraph spacing or grammar. As y'all know, the Chipmunks has been making the rounds lately because of a certain meme which got me interested in them again. I've always loved the 80s cartoon and considered the CGI movies as good bad movies (you know, like The Room), so I decided to rewatch everything Chipmunks post-1983 (minus that weird puppet babies tape). After watching the episode where they sort of parodied Back to the Future, I eventually thought up an exciting Chipmunk story that I want to share. One thing you should know before reading is that this story does take place in the 80s-verse but there will be one or two things from the other canons (especially one certain character). So I thank you for choosing to read my fanfic and I hope you enjoy the first chapter.

Chapter 1- Making Your Mark

Friday,

June 12th, 2020, 7:39 am

Somewhere in the suburbs of Los Angeles stood an upper-middle class house. The sun had just risen in the famous American city. In one of the rooms layed a 15-year old chipmunk who was peacefully asleep in his bed. However this peaceful sleep was interrupted by the ringing of a smartphone. The young chipmunk's eyes shot open and he groaned as he checked who was calling at what seemed to him to be a very inconvenient time. He begrudgingly picked up the phone and answered it, "Hello?".

"DJ, DJ! Are you there?", despite being half-awake, DJ was able to recognize the owner of the frantic voice.

"Uncle Simon, why are you calling me so early? You woke me from my sleep" he asked as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

"Sorry about that DJ, I'm calling because tonight I'm conducting a huge experiment and I need to know as soon as possible if you are available to help me!". DJ was never one to turn down assisting his uncle's experiments.

Though he was not into science as much Simon, he was a bit of a techy and he did enjoy helping his uncle in his scientific endeavors, "Definitely Uncle Si. What's the experiment?".

"Oh you'll see…" answered the brainiac, who sounded very ecstatic, "meet me at the Bagdasarian Mall parking lot at 1;15 am. This latest experiment will knock your socks off!".

"Really? Then I can't wait, Uncle Si. See you tonight" DJ hung up his phone and immediately he was bombarded with text messages.

He checked his messages and saw that they were from his cousin Franklin. He read all of them but they were on lines of "Where are you, DJ?" and "YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!".

DJ was confused at first but then glanced at the time on the top right corner of the screen. It read 7:43. "Oh crap!" he yelled out loudly, he was in full panic mode. He jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth for shorter than he should've, washed his hair and put on deodorant to compensate for skipping showering. He then flew back to his room and immediately started to get dressed. He put on a pair of blue jeans, a salmon-colored shirt with a big yellow D on the front. Next he grabbed a maroon flannel shirt over wore it over his shirt (he didn't button it up so you can still see the big yellow D). He then finally put on a pair of white socks and finished it off by slipping into a pair of Nike Air VaporMax.

DJ was about to book it out of his room when he touched his ear and realized he had forgotten something really important. He dug through his desk and took out his laptop and portable dj table and stuffed them in his maroon backpack (as you can probably tell, he is quite fond of maroon). Lastly, DJ picked up his favorite pair of Bluetooth maroon Beats headphones and placed them on his head like he does everyday.

The maroon-clad chipmunk ran downstairs and grabbed his one-wheeled scooter by the front door. He darted out the door and placed his scooter down on the street and frantically made his way to his highschool.

Eventually, DJ saw his school in the distance It was a quite a big school, and had a clocktower on top of it, it always said 10:04. Supposedly many years ago it got struck by lightning and stopped working ever since. The sight of the non functioning clocktower reminded him to check the time. He took out his phone and the time read 8:01. Though not a bad time to show up for school, it was bad for the plan he's been scheming for the past two weeks. He then spotted his cousin Franklin, who was leaning against the sign that read "West Eastman High" with text under it saying "Last Day of School!". Franklin was a short chubby chipmunk that wore a yellow green sweater, brown cargo shorts, and yellow green flip-flops. The short-statured chipmunk looked up from his phone once he noticed his cousin was approaching him. "There you are, DJ" Franklin said in a relieved, yet annoyed tone "Jeez cuz, I know you don't have the best attendance record, but you could've at least be on time for the last day of school! You know…".

Franklin paused when DJ lifted up his finger while he was knelt down panting "Sorry Frank, but maybe I wouldn't be late if someone decided to be a good sister and wake me up!".

"And someone should've been a good brother, and not make his poor sister wake him up everyday" said a sarcastic voice behind him.

"Speak of the devil" DJ muttered.

He turned around as his eyes laid upon his twin sister Carol, who was a young chipette with straight long Auburn hair wearing red lipstick, blue mascara, a light magenta top with a yellow C on it, and dark magenta yoga pants. She was also slightly shorter than her brother. DJ's nose scrunched up and he shot a glare to his sister "You mind telling me why you didn't wake me up this morning?".

Carol just rolled her eyes and crossed her arms "Well I tried to but your lazy butt just would not get out of bed. I'm surprised neither Mom or Dad notice you were still snoozing".

DJ was getting annoyed at his sister (as he usually does) and started to fire back "Well maybe next time…".

"Guys, guys!" interrupted Franklin, who was not in the mood to see another of his cousins' fights, "We don't have time for this! We have to start 'Operation: Heart Sneak Attack' now! The entire school is heading to the auditorium in 10 minutes!".

DJ cooled down a bit after hearing what Franklin said, he did not have time to argue. "You're right Frank, I got my dj set ready. You guys remember what to do?" Both Carol and Franklin stayed silent for a moment and scratched their heads. DJ rolled his eyes and sighed "Franklin, you're coming with me and help set up on stage. Carol you have to find MC and get her to sit in the front row with you". They both nodded and all three chipmunks made their way to the building.

Once they entered the school, they looked around to see if they could spot the girl they actually wanted to talk too. Just then Franklin spotted an aquamarine wearing chipmunk enter the school library down the hallway. "There's MC" pointed Franklin, which then proceeded in him and his cousin running down the hallway as fast as they could; especially DJ.

The chipmunks came bursting through the door. "MC, MC" DJ whispered loudly. DJ bolted in without seeing where he was going and accidently knocked over a pile of books. DJ winced as familiar sounding footsteps made their way towards him. He then heard the door on the other end of the library open and saw the aquamarine figure exit through it. "Carol go get MC! Me and Franklin will deal with Auntie Jeanette" DJ whispered to his sister. Carol nodded and hurried over to the door that the previous figure just left through before the aforementioned librarian could see her. DJ and Franklin watched as an older tall brunette chipette dressed in a light purple shirt color shirt, a dark purple vest, brown pants, and wore a pair of pink oval lens glasses approached them. "Good morning Auntie Jeanette" said DJ innocently.

Jeanette looked down at the mess by her nephews feet and raised an eyebrow. "Boys, why are you causing such a ruckus in my library?" she asked, crossing her arms.

"Sorry about the mess auntie, me and DJ are late for the auditorium meeting. It's the last one of the school year, you know?" replied Franklin, who felt guilty for bothering his aunt at work.

Jeanette lighten up a bit and she smirked a little "I can see you two are excited for summer. How have your parents been doing?".

"Oh doing great, both of our parents are swell" blurted DJ, wanting this conversation to end soon. "And um…" Jeanette than coughed and blushed a bit "How's your uncle Simon?". DJ once again was quick to answer "He's doing great too! In fact I'm going to help him with an experiment later tonight".

The news seemed to have an effect on Jeanette as she started to shuffle through the pile of books on the floor and took out a big green one. "Well ... if you are going to see him later, do you mind giving this to him, DJ?" she asked. DJ looked down and read the title "100 Years of West Eastman High! 1920-2020". The purple-clad librarian adjusted her glasses as he handed the book to her nephew "A… As you know, me, your parents, and Simon went here as well, and I r...remembered he loved this place. And I think he would l...love to read this". Despite being 45, she still as shy as she was when she attended West Eastman. A trait that DJ's family found quirky, but admirable.

"I think he'll love it too" DJ answered as he put the book in his backpack.

"Thank you... DJ. Now you two better hurry to the auditorium" Jeanette said as she playfully pointed to the exit.

"Don't have to tell us twice" said DJ as he grabbed Franklin's shoulder "Have a nice day auntie Jeanette!". DJ and Franklin booked it (haha pun) out of the library as their aunt waved them goodbye.

Finally the two chipmunks made it to the auditorium and snuck behind the stage. "DJ, are you sure about this? We could get in serious trouble" nervously asked Franklin.

Before DJ answered his cousin, he noticed a picture on the wall of fame for performance. He walked up to the picture and saw it was of a young Alvin Seville, the once famous rockstar, former lead singer of the acclaimed band The Chipmunks, and his father, whom DJ shared a strong resemblance with. He saw himself in the reflection of the glass. "If I ever want to get out of dad's shadow, it's now or never," he thought. He turned to Franklin with a serious look on his face. "I never have been more sure in my life" DJ said stoically.

All of a sudden the two cousins heard a microphone turned on from the loudspeakers in the auditorium. "Good morning, West Eastman" said a mature voice. DJ and Theodore peaked behind the curtains, it was Principal Talbot. He was an old man with white hair and wore a fancy suit and tie. He was speaking at the podium in front of the entire school. "As you all know, summer vacation is upon us" continued Principal Talbot, who said it in a strange dire tone. He was immediately interrupted by the crowd of cheering teenagers. He patiently waited for everyone to quiet down, the expression on his face ceased to change. "As I was saying. Some of you worked hard this year... others decided to muck around…".

As Principal Talbot continued to talk, DJ glanced around the room. In the front row he saw Carol sitting next to the most wonderful girl of his dreams, Marie Claire "MC" Richardson. She was a chipette with black hair with an aquamarine highlight. She wore a jean jacket, an aquamarine shirt, an aquamarine beanie, ripped up aquamarine pants, and a gold chain with big golden 'MC' attached to them.

DJ looked at her with awe, it has been 7 years since he first met her. MC's family moved pretty close to his house and she became fast friends with him and the other Seville kids, Carol and Franklin. She was cool, pretty, funny, and was an amazing rapper. Even though she wasn't related to them by blood, she was considered as family. Carol and Franklin saw her as a sister, but DJ had much stronger feelings for her. MC is his best friend, they are into the same kind of music, both are rebellious, and their hobbies went hand in hand. It was until near the end of middle school did DJ realize he had a crush on MC, and he was crushing hard. He had a lot of feelings towards the rapper chipette, and today was the day he was going to show all of it to her.

Today's the day that DJ will make his mark.

"What are you doing here, Seville?" asked an overaposing voice. DJ and Franklin turned around and saw it was Jacque Glouton. He was a tall, blond,big nosed human in a nice suit and he was DJ's arch enemy. He was the leader of the acapella club and a HUGE jerk. He loved hogging the spotlight and would try to eliminate anyone who threatened to take it from him. It certainly didn't help that he also the bratty son of a rich family who seemed to get away with everything. DJ was the only person in school who constantly butt heads with Jacque.

"What is it to you, Glouton?" DJ fired back.

"Well me and my acapella group are going to perform here in a few minutes and I don't want any dirty rats scurrying across the stage" snapped Jacque. Then DJ and Jacque got into each other's faces and had the most intense staring contest. All Franklin did was cower back from the heat between the rivals.

"Well if you must know, Me and Frank are back here because we're a part of the tech team" lied DJ.

Jacque didn't think much of it, he couldn't care less about DJ's life unless it messed with his "Whatever, you two better not pull anything or you'll get a one way ticket to pummel town". Jacque made a fist at DJ before leaving.

DJ then turned to his cousin who was still shaking with the intensity of the situation. "You doing alright Franky?" DJ asked.

Franklin just shook his head "DJ I don't think I can do this".

DJ sighed and then knelt down to his cousin's height "Don't worry cuz, I've seen those moves of yours, you are an amazing dancer, the show won't be the same without you".

"Really?" Franklin asked as his confidence slowly rose.

DJ ruffled his cousin's hair and stood up tall "Come on, let's show what the newest generation of the Sevilles can do!".

At that moment the curtains started to rise and the two chipmunks ran to the side of the stage. There DJ took out his laptop and plugged it into the sound system. "Ladies and gentlemen" Principal Talbot announced "let's end this school year by giving our undivided attention to the acapella club". The stage went dark and a spotlight was lit onto the stage. Then Jacque and the rest of the group walked into the spotlight. Jauque, of course, took centerstage. He bowed to the audience and some of the crowd started to clap. Carol and MC just looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Then Jacque and his group started to sing an acapella rendition of The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News, with the chorus singing the instrumental, while Jacque did the vocals:

The power of love is a curious thing

Make a one man weep, make another man sing

Change a heart to a little white dove

More than a feeling, that's the power of love

Meanwhile DJ finished the changes he wanted to make to the sound system and he plugged in his dj set. He and Franklin nodded at each other as he put his stuff on a nearby table and started to sneak it onto the stage. Luckily it was dark enough that no one could see him.

Tougher than diamonds, whips like cream

Stronger and harder than a bad girls dream

Make a bad one good, mmm make a wrong right

Power of love will keep you home at night

And once Jacque finished that last verse, a loud remix of The Power of Love started to play on the speakers. Everyone started to look around confused as they tried to find the source of the bopping sound. Then all of a sudden the spotlight landed on DJ, who was now wearing blue lens sunglasses and scratching on his table. Everyone started to cheer, especially MC, and everyone started to dance to the music. Jacque was fuming, and before he could even have the chance to move, a trap door opened underneath him and the acapella group and they fell under the stage. DJ looked over and saw it was Franklin who had opened the trap door and he gave him a thumbs up.

DJ then looked down to MC and was happy to see that she was ecstatic. He then gestured for MC to come up onto the stage. MC just shook her head at him at first, but then Carol climbed onto the stage reached out her hand to her. "Come on MC," said Carol "We did this all for you". MC smiled as she grabbed onto the other chipette's hand. Franklin then ran over to MC and handed her a microphone. The spotlight then hit her and then she started freestyling:

What Up West Eastman, it's your girl MC

School is out so let's start the party

We got DJ on the table

Carol going to sing ya a tune

And my boy Franklin is going to show you some moves

We got the power that can make you sad

We got the power that might make you mad

But it makes us stronger

Reach the skies above

It makes the world go around

It's the power of love

After the freestyle, MC passed the mike to Carol. DJ then transitioned to the chorus, as Carol began to sing:

Don't need money, don't take fame

Don't need no credit card to ride this train

It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes

But it might just save your life

That's the power of love

That's the power of love

DJ then let the beat drop as Franklin made his way to center stage and started to perform some amazing dance movies like the robot, the worm, and the headspin. Everyone started to cheer and chant "GO FRANKLIN, GO FRANKLIN!". After Franklin was finished, it was time for the grand finale. DJ started a beat that was hyping everyone up. He jumped up and down pointed to the sky as the beat got more and more intense. Finally DJ transitioned to the final part of the song as Carol, MC, and Franklin sang into the microphone:

Don't take money, don't take fame

Don't need no credit card to ride this train

Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel

You won't feel it until you feel

You feel the power, feel the power of love

That's the power, that's the power of love

You feel the power of love

You feel the power of love

You feel the power of lov…

Then all of a sudden the lights in the auditorium came on and the music stopped. DJ didn't know what was going on at first until he peered over to the side of the stage and saw Mr. Talbot had unplugged his computer, while Jacque stood next to him looking like he was about to blow his top. The four chipmunks looked in horror as everyone else was disappointed that the performance was over. Principal Talbot then took the microphone from Carol's hands and turned to the audience "Alright children, you are now dismissed. Everyone please vacate the auditorium" he then turned off the microphone and turned around "except for you four, come with me to my office immediately" The chipmunks just hung their heads as they started to follow Principal Talbot out of the auditorium.

But behind DJ, he was able to hear his arch enemy laughing up a storm "Jeez Seville, I don't know what I was worried about. I guess talent doesn't run in the family".

DJ stopped in and tracks and turned to face Jacque "What did you say?".

"Oh nothing, I'm just saying it's laughable that you think you can be anything like your father…". DJ's blood started to boil, he was about to pounce at Jacque but he was grabbed by Carol and Franklin.

"Don't listen to him, DJ. Like that jerk has any taste" said Carol.

One hour later, the Seville kids were sitting outside the principal's office, awaiting MC who entered first as she was the only non Seville involved with the incident. MC then exited the office and turned to her friends.

"How did it go?" asked Franklin innocently.

"Well because I told Principal Talbot that I didn't scheme up the incident, he is letting me go with a slap on the wrist". DJ sighed, he was glad he didn't get MC into serious trouble. But then MC walked up to DJ and leaned into his ear "So what was the song choice about?".

DJ blushed and started to sweat like crazy. "I guess in hindsight that song was not the most subtle move" he thought.

MC just giggled at his reaction "Come on Deej, you think I didn't know".

DJ started to blush even more as Carol and Franklin tried to hold in their laughter. "I'm embarrassed to admit this, but yeah…" confessed DJ as he looked down to the floor. But then he remembered one of the main reasons why he got himself in trouble in the first place and stood up to face his crush "MC, we have been best friends for 7 years now, and…. I really, really like you. You're awesome and we make an amazing team… so I'm asking you… will you go out with me". As he finally let his true feelings out, his heart was racing, he didn't dare to look at the chipette in the face.

But they he felt something warm pressed against his lips. He opened his eyes and saw that MC was kissing him. After their lips parted, MC stared at DJ with eyes filled with happiness "Of course I will go out with you, DJ". DJ just smiled, and then he pulled MC into another kiss.

Carol and Franklin cheered at the blossoming of the new couple. They both knew DJ and MC were meant for each other, and they couldn't be more happy with them. The two chipmunks pulled away from their second kiss and MC turned to the others "Well unfortunately I have to get going. My parents are planning to kill me when I get home and I don't want to keep them waiting". MC started to make her leave and waved back to her friends "Bye Carol, Bye Frank… Bye DJ…". MC added a seductive tone to that last part and gave DJ a wink as she disappeared around the corner.

DJ then ran over to his sister and cousin and high fived them as they cheered. But their celebration was cut short when they heard the cough from their stern principal. "Carol Beatrice Seville… Franklin Cookie Seville…" Principal Talbot then glared at DJ intensely "David Jonathan Seville II… come into my office". DJ felt a big lump in his throat as he heard his principal put the extra emphasis in his name. This was not going to end well for him.

The three teenage chipmunks sat in Principal Talbot's office in silence for about two minutes. "So…" DJ spoke to break the awkward silence "are we going to actually talk or is the punishment is that are you just going to stare at us menacingly all day?". Carol nudged him on his side, that comment was not helping the situation.

"We'll talk in a moment," replied Principal Talbot "we're just waiting for two more people". DJ scratched his head, "who else are we waiting for?".

"DAAAAVIIIIIIIID!". DJ immediately recognized that yell, he was sure in big trouble now. He turned around and stared at the two figures standing before him; it was his parents, Alvin and Brittany Seville.

BUM BUM BUUUUM. Yes, the main character is a dj named DJ. Yes, his girlfriend is an emcee named MC. And yes, that auditorium scene is inspired by the one from A Goofy Movie. If I'm going to steal ideas from movies, then why should I stop at just one?
