Chapter 25 - And Maybe Love is The Reason Why

It was almost dark when the two bespectacled chipmunks arrived at their highschool. They decided to 'borrow' Dr. Frankenstein's lab equipment and van to help set up the contraption that'll send their nephew home. "I can't believe we're breaking into school" Jeanette shuttered as she watched Simon break the chains to the door with a bolt cutter.

"Trust me, illegally entering our school is the last thing to do on my bucket list, but we have no choice" Simon responded as he broke the chains off, "There."

The purple chipette was still quite nervous. "Simon, what if the security cameras catch us. We could be expelled!"

"Jeanette, we're both geniuses" Simon answered blankly, "I'm sure we could easily figure out how to delete the footage."

"Oh right…" Jeanette blushed. The tall girl went quiet for a moment, which didn't go unnoticed by Simon. He looked at her face, and he could tell there was something running through her head.

"Jeanette?" Simon called out in a concerned tone, "Is everything okay?"

The chipette flinched back to reality. "Oh sorry," she blurted, "I'm just… worried about DJ." She then turned her head towards the Hollywood Hills, where pretty much everyone in the city was right now.

"W-why are you worried for him?" Simon stuttered shyly, "He's going to be alright."

"Alright?!" Jeanette exclaimed, "He's being erased from existence!"

"Yeah" Simon rebutted, "But he's going to fix it."

"And even if he can somehow get his parents together, there's still sending him back" Jeanette squirmed, "There's just too much that can go wrong!"

"Hey" Simon said in a serious tone, "If there was no chance for DJ to succeed, then he would've disappeared by now. But he hasn't, he's still here, which means… he still has a chance."

This didn't occur to Jeanette, but when Simon said it out loud, it eased her. She cracked a smile, "You're right Simon, I guess I was being too pessimistic." They then began to walk around the empty school while carrying some equipment.

Simon shook his head, "No, you were being rational. There's nothing wrong with being scared for a family member."

Jeanette chuckled a bit when she heard him,"Family member… I've only known him for a week, and I only learned who he was yesterday."

"I know how you feel" the blue chipmunk assured, "Maybe it has to do with the fact that he looks like Alvin, or some strange affect from nature but, I genuinely see him as my nephew. Even though I'm 15 years old."

Jeanette continued to smile warmly as she fiddled with her fingers, "Yeah, it's strange but… also lovely, isn't it? I just wish we can somehow keep an eye on him."

Suddenly, Simon got an idea. "I know how we can make sure DJ's okay" He then ran over to one of the classroom doors and unpicked the lock.

"Simon" Jeanette scratched her head, "Isn't that the teacher lounge?"

"Yep" Simon responded from inside the room, "And I know for a fact that it got one of these!" He then came out, pushing an antenna TV set on wheels. "Help me get this up to the roof and we can watch the Hollywood Bowl live" he asked.

Jeanette's face then lit up, "Oh, great idea!" So for the next few minutes, the two of them went back and forward getting all the necessary equipment up on the roof, where the clock tower stood. After everything needed was brought up, they noticed that they could see lights of the show in the distance. Even though they were doing something really important at the moment, they couldn't help but feel left out from the event.

"Alright" Simon began, "I'll try to get the antennas to pick up a broadcast of the show while you get started on the lightning rod. We can watch while we work." Jeanette nodded as she started to mount the lightning rod on the clock tower. Simon turned on the TV and tinkered with the antennas before finally getting a signal. "Got it!" He announced. Simon ran over to help Jeanette while a pre-show newscast began to air.

"Good evening Los Angeles!" Nathan Nosey, the news reporter, appeared, "It's me, Nathan Nosey, and we're live at the entrance of the legendary Hollywood Bowl! Tonight is probably going to be one of the biggest performances of the year, as famous rockstar Brittany the Chipette will debut her first concert solo, uno, single, and by herself!" He then turned around and acted amazed as he looked at the humongous line in front of the entrance, "Wow, look at all these people! The show was only announced this morning, but reportedly, the tickets sold out by 2:00! People were lining up here before it was even lunch time! LA really got the chipmunk, or should I say, chipette fever!" He then walked up to a group of Brittany fans on the line, "Hey there, I can see you all are rocking pink! You must be superfans of the Chipettes!"

"Oh we adore the Chipettes!" a teenage girl in a pink scarf answered, "Especially Brittany; she's like my idol. I love everything about her. I even got plastic surgery to look like her!" She then removed her scarf and revealed that a rodent like nose had been plastered on her face.

"SWEET JESUS!" Nathan screamed. He then composed himself when he saw that the girl was obviously offended. "I-I mean sweet baby Jesus, that's some commitment right there…" he muttered awkwardly.

"Yeah, we all love our girl, Britt!" a large (not fat, but big) woman behind the teenage girl answered, "We're her dedicated fan club! We listen to her band's music everyday."

"The ones without the Chipmunks" the teenage girl noted.

The large woman nodded, "Yep, pure Brittany. And though we'll miss the Chipettes, we're happy to see our main girl making the next step of becoming a solo superstar! We even got front row seats!" Then all of the Brittany fans cheered.

"Wow!" Nathan smiled, "Well I can see you'll have a great time. Try not to go overboard, ha ha!"

Suddenly Nathan's mike was grabbed by a crazed looking woman in pink, "Listen here, Alvin fans! You better stop disrespecting our queen! Who cares if you're dumb idol is gone! He deserved it for being so cruel to Brittany! His music is garbage and will be forgotten. Now it's time for Brittany to shine!"

Nathan then snatched his mike back from the hyper fan in annoyance. "Alright, now let's go talk to other people far away from them" he said with a fake smile. He then went back further in the line and decided to talk to a group of people in red. "Hello there, I'm assuming you're all together based off your outfits. How excited are you to see Brittany perform live?!" he asked enthusiastically.

Unexpectedly, he was met with a lot of scoffs. "We're not here to see that pink mess" a man in red sneered, "We're here to protest to Jett Records for dropping Alvin and the Chipmunks!"

"Yeah" a large man (again, not fat) interjected, "Brittany is totally rubbing her dumb luck in Alvin's face. It's unfair, he's the better rock n' roller"

"Oh boy" Nathan sighed, "Don't tell me you all are…"

"We're the Alvin fan club!" the smaller man answered all they all pumped their fist in the air.

"Brittany, I hope you feel ashamed of yourself" the larger man grunted at the camera, "Because of your jealousy, the world lost it's best rockstar."

"And if you didn't hear us this time, we bought front row tickets so you can hear our booing better" the smaller man spat at the camera. All of the Alvin fan's then flaunt their front row tickets while shouting 'OOO'.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute" Nathan stammered, "Let me get this straight. You all bought expensive front row tickets to see a music artist that you hate?"

"Duh" the large alvin fan answered, "We're stopping dirty Brittany fans from supporting this hack!"

"But but" Nathan stuttered. He let out a sigh once he realized that it wasn't worth his time reasoning with these people, "Nevermind." He then walked away from the line entirely, "Well there are certainly some interesting folks here tonight. This will surely be a big night for Ms. Miller, when she performs 12 for her new album. Let's just hope that the storm doesn't rain on her parade. Stay tuned after this short commercial break!"

Crystal then shut off the television. She and Ian were standing on stage as people went by, preparing it for the show. "Did you hear that?" she asked, "The storm's still coming."

Ian rolled his eyes, "I told you not to worry about that. It's not gonna hit. Plus it's too late to back out now, the shows starts in less than an hour."

"Mr. Hawke, this is some huge thunderstorm we're talking about here!" the woman exclaimed, "You're not at all worried that it could ruin the show?"

"Oh, those weathermen are always over exaggerating" Ian shook off, "It's like what you do with celebrities."

"Hey, never compare me to the likes of them!" Crystal spat.

"Alright alright" Ian rolled his eyes again, "What's the news on the international investors?"

"They should be arriving any moment" Crystal answered, "So you're planning on sweet talking these foreigners into getting you venues outside the country with only the first show?"

"Hey" Ian glared, "This isn't going to be another concert. I had that weird squirrel guy modify this stage to have the most advanced effects yet. Plus we just filled every seat in one of the most popular venues in the country. You would be a fool to not get a taste of this chipette pie."

"Advance effects?" Crystal questioned, "What effects could one guy in a halloween costume make?"

"A lot, is the answer you're looking for" Ian answered, "We got 1000 lasers, 50 spotlights, confetti, goddamn bubbles! I mean look here!" He then pointed where the raising platform was. "He installed a rising platform, it's for the 'I Love Rock n' Roll' number, these smoke bombs go off and Brittany rises out of it, with lasers shooting everywhere!"

"Smoke bombs?" Crystal repeated. She looked down and indeed there were remote detonated smoke bombs surrounding the opening. "Jeez" the hostess bit her lip, "Those look kinda dangerous. It looks like they could send you flying."

"That's the point. They're supposed to be really explosive, it'll both literally and figuratively blow people away" Ian smiled.

"Alright, whatever floats your boat" Crystal sighed.

Suddenly the two goons came running in. "Hey bosses!" Gary sang, "The sign is ready!"

"It's very pretty" Fred said cooed. Gary rolled his eyes.

"Well let's see it," Ian commanded. Gary took out a remote and flipped the switch. Suddenly, a huge neon pink sign that read 'Brittany the Chipette' lit up on the stage wall.

"Ha ha, yes!" Ian cheered, "This show is going to be a home run!"

"Wow, Mr. Hawke" Fred chuckled, "This is a pretty fancy smancy stage you got here. How did you afford it?"

Gary face palmed. "What do you mean how did he afford it?!" he spat, "You got a memory of goldfish or something?!"

Fred had to think pretty hard. "Oh yeah!" he realized, "I remember now, you…" Gary and Crystal immediately covered the dolt's mouth.

"Shut your trap, you idiot" Crystal snapped, "Sigh, it would be better if you didn't remember."

"Remember what?" Fred asked.

"Oh good boy" Crystal smiled as she patted the huge man on the chest. She then took another glance at the huge sign. "Say, where is the star of the show, anyway" she asked, "I haven't seen her in hours."

"She's in the makeup room" Ian answered, "I want her to be prettier than a butterfly on a flower." He then looked at his watch, "In fact, the makeup artist's should be done by now. I'm going to check on her." He walked back stage and over to the makeup room. He didn't even bother knocking as he came bursting in. "How's my superstar?" Ian sang.

"Oh, Mr. Hawke!" one of the makeup artists greeted, "I think she's ready." Then they moved out of the way to show Ian the new Brittany. The man chuckled with glee, it was exactly what he wanted. Her hair was spikier than ever with the pink highlight remaining, and she had these big hoop earrings on. She was now wearing a mostly pink leather suit with black highlights. Her eyes had a lot of dark eyeliner and her fur was dyed to look like a pale white.

"Oh Brittany, you look like a real punk" Ian smiled.

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" Brittany sarcastically remarked.

"Yes" Ian said in a condescending tone, "Kids love rebels, so you're going to be a rebel. But don't actually be one, of course."

Brittany rolled her eyes, "Yeah, whatever."

"Hey, you better change that attitude soon" the bald man glared as he pointed to his watch, "No one wants to see you all mopey."

"Well excuse me for being in a bad mood" Brittany spat, "You can't tell me how to feel."

"Oh yes I can" Ian said in a sinister tone. He then walked up to her, "Listen you brat, I control you. You do as I say without any questions. You want to be in a better mood? Fine! 17 and a half thousand people are here to see you, just you. No sisters, no boyfriends, only you. Isn't this what you always wanted, to have all eyes on you? Well I just gave it to you. I gave you everything you ever wanted!"

Brittany started to turn mad, "No you didn't, you took everything I ever cared about! You made me say mean things about my family! You overwork me! You constantly belittling me!"

"Oh, well you can just leave" Ian spat, and took out the discriminating photos, "And go straight to jail, with your family and friends!" Brittany kept herself quiet, she simply grunted and crossed her arms. "Yeah, that's what I thought" the producer snapped, "Now listen here. You're going to perform, you're going to kill it, and then you're going on a world tour."

"What?!" Brittany cried, "A world tour?! But I have already been around the world!"

"Well this time you won't be tricked into a diamond smuggling scheme. You have no idea how hard it was to cover that up!" Ian shot back as he stuffed the photos into his back pocket, "I'm going to sweet talk the international investors, you stay here until I say you can come out, alright?!"

Brittany let out another grunt, "Just leave already."

The man simply gave the chipette another glare before leaving the room. Once he was gone, Brittany dropped her head on the table and tried to hold back tears. This whole situation was a nightmare. Never had anyone in her life treated her this low, which was saying a lot as she had a horrible caretaker back at the orphanage. And the thought of being dragged around the world by him, far away from anyone she was close with, was painfully inconceivable. She couldn't handle it anymore, but she couldn't quit without everyone's lives. "If only Ian didn't have those stupid photos" she thought, "Wait… I could just get rid of them,then he couldn't hold anything against me!" It was risky, but she was willing to do it. It was doing it or accepting more months of agony. So she stood up and decided that she was going to get those photos at any cost, then destroy them.

Meanwhile, over at the snack bar near the entrance, two surprising faces returned. It was Mike and Jake, the employees from the skating rink. They were now dressed in Hollywood Bowl uniforms and were pushing a bunch of heavy boxes of snacks. Suddenly, the manager came by. "Where the hell were you two hooligans" the manager snapped, "The doors are going to open in 10 minutes and you've just arrived with the snacks."

"Sorry Mr. Manager" Mike answered, "We were given some extra import"

"What do you mean by extra import" the manager asked, "I just ordered the amount needed to feed to feed 17 thousand people."

"Well, the extra stuff was there" Jake interjected, "And you know, why pass on extra snacks."

The manger face palmed, "Sigh, whatever. You are here. Just put the snacks away and get ready to do your jobs!"

"Yes, Mr. Manager sir!" the two vendors saluted. The manager simply grumbled as he walked away.

"Alright, dudes" Mike announced, "Coast is clear."

Suddenly, Dave, Ms. Miller, Frankie, and the remaining chipmunks came out of the boxes. "Oh, my back" Dave winced.

"Being in a box was fun!" Eleanor cheered.

"But it was a little too dark for my liking" Theodore shuttered.

"Thanks for the lift, guys" Alvin smiled, "I owe you one"

"No problem, dude" Jake replied, "It was just rad to meet Frankie."

Frankie simply grunted.

Suddenly, DJ was struggling to stand up, and Ms. Miller caught him before he fell. "Oh dear" she muttered softly, "DJ, you look so pale. Maybe you should go lie down."

"No" DJ shook his head, "I need help." And to prove he could, he walked a few steps on his own. On the outside he tried to keep a calm composer, but on the inside it felt like his motor skills were failing. His condition had gotten worse and would continue to get worse over time.

"So um…" Eleanor spoke up, "Do we have like.. A plan?"

"Of course we do," Alvin said, "I'm here." Everyone except DJ moaned, as they know how crazy Alvin's plans could get. "Alright" he said as he took out a poorly drawn map of the outdoor theater, "Dave, you and Ms. Miller will distract the guards by pretending to be your mother and son, trying to find your seats. Really ham up that sassiness, Ms. Miller. Theodore, you and Eleanor will disguise as Duke Periwinkle and distract Ian. DJ, you'll mess with the sound system so the show will get delayed, and Frankie you'll protect him while he's doing it. As for me…" He took a deep breath before continuing, "I guess I have to go get Brittany…" There was clear discomfort in his face, "M-maybe someone else should…"

"No" DJ said blankly, "You need to do it. You're the one she's probably most nervous to see again, but if you can win her over, she'll definitely leave with us 100%!"

"DJ's right" Ms. Miller added, "If she can't forgive you, she won't come back, as much it hurts me to admit."

Alvin took off his cap for a moment and pulled back his hair nervously. "Oh boy" he gulped, "I-I don't know if I can face her, let alone talk to her."

"But you have to!" DJ exclaimed, "I can't explain, but it's the most important thing in the world that she forgives you."

"Yo" Jake interjected, "They're going to let people in any minute. I suggest you guys to split pronto."

DJ gave the vendor a thumbs up before facing his father again. "Alvin, find Brittany as soon as possible" he instructed, "I'm… I mean, we're counting on you."

Alvin gulped pretty hard, "Mmm hmm!"

"1 more minute guys!" Jake announced by tapping on his watch.

"Alright, everyone!" Dave proclaimed, "Let's start moving" They all nodded as they hurried to their positions. Mike and Jake watched as two guards went over and opened the front doors.

On the other side, Nathan Nosey somehow wiggled himself at the front. "Oh, do you hear that folks?" he smiled at the camera, "It sounds like the guards are opening the door." People in the line then started to get really excited. Nathan rubbed his hands together, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the breathtaking Hollywood Bowl-oh!" He and the cameraman were than trampled by the crowd as they came stampeding in the area.

"Here they come, man!" Jake warned his friend, as they were about to get a huge wave of customers.

Mike decided to crack his knuckles. "Let's do this." he said in a serious tone. Dave and Ms. Miller managed to reach the huge seating area when the crowd came pouring in. The two adults were quite startled by the sheer amount of people speeding in. All the big lights came on and lit up the night sky, and the huge pink sign on stage started to shine. Everyone hurried to their seats as fast as they could.

While Brittany was sneaking about backstage, she happened to come across a window. She peeked out and saw that her audience had arrived. She immediately ducked down, scared that someone was going to see her. But after thinking about what she saw, she decided to peek again. There she saw over 17 thousand people, cheering and jumping about. It was so surreal; she had performed big concerts before, but she always performed with her sisters and even the Chipmunks half the time. As much as her ego didn't want to admit it, not everyone in the audience was there to see her, there were 2-5 other performers there as well. But this time, there was no doubt that every single person in that crowd was there for only her. She felt her heart race, it was both exciting and overwhelming. It felt like she was a newbie again. After gazing at the crowd, she realized that she was wasting time. She needed to get the photos, so she continued on ahead.

Meanwhile, Alvin was also backstage and noticed the makeup room. "She's gotta be in there!" he thought. He went over and slowly creaked the door open. To his disappointment, the room was completely empty. He snapped his fingers in frustration. Despite dredging to talk to her, it seemed finding Brittany was going to be much harder.

Over by the serving table, Ian patiently waited for the investors to arrive. If he could pull off an amazing show, he would be able to leave the country with his main money maker and take on the world. He had done some illegal stuff, but once he was out of the states, it would be a lot harder for him to get convicted. So he had a lot of betting on the show. He was then startled to see a group of wealthy looking individuals coming his way. He quickly composed himself and put on his game face. "Mr. Hawke" an assistant of his greeted as he led the group to him, "Here are the investors." The assistant then proceeded to introduce each of them, "This here is Alexendre Arquette" he began with a serious looking Frenchman, "The president of the Paris Theatre Productions" he then moved onto a wealthy hispanic woman, "This is Martina Lopez, the CEO of the Performance Organization of Cuba." The assistant moved onto the next to the Indian gentleman, "Vihaan Laghari, Vice president of the Mumbai Music Association." he moved on to a Japanese woman, "Yuki Hayashi, President of the Tokyo Theater Company." and finally concluded with the last investor, "And last but not least, Duke Periwinkle of Riches, England." Of course, Duke Periwinkle was Theodore and Eleanor in disguise once again. They even managed to find a king outfit in the costume room.

"Excuse me, did you say Duke?!" Ian cheered as he moved on in closer to the supposed elite.

Eleanor glared at her former producer, mad with everything he had done. But she knew now wasn't the time to be shooting daggers so she got into character. "Indeed, Mr. Hawke" she answered in an elegant English accent, "I am Duke Periwinkle, the ruler of Riches. The wealthiest town in Great Britain."

"Wow" Ian nearly went breathless,"You must have a lot of money!"

"I suppose" Eleanor answered, "But I only have about 7 million dollars in my pocket at the moment." Ian nearly fainted from excitement as his assistant caught him. Though he struggled, he managed to get the bald man standing again.

Ian then wrapped an arm around Eleanor. "Welcome to LA, Periwinkle. Something tells me we're going to be good friends" he smiled. It seemed that Ian was going to lead the small chipmunks away from the crowd which made them nervous. But they still played along. Little did anyone know that Brittany was under the table, and she was really close to getting the photos out of Ian's back pocket. She grunted in annoyance as she continued to sneak behind.

Meanwhile in the seating area, two guards were patrolling up and down the stairs. Suddenly one of them felt a tap on the shoulder. "Excuse me" Dave asked, "Me and my mother are having a hard time looking for our seats."

The security guard nodded, "Eh no trouble, we have these kinds of problems all the time."

"Oh lord!" Ms. Miller started to overact, "My back is killing me." She then fell into Dave's arms, "I need to sit down!"

"Don't worry, mother" Dave went along, "These nice men will help us find our seats."

"That's right ma'am" the security guard replied, "Now tell us your seats and we'll lead you to them."

"Oh thank you" Dave smiled, "Our seats are a…. D21and D22"

"What does that mean, son?!" Ms. Miller whaled, "Back in my day we left letters and numbers separate from each other."

"M'am it means you're sitting at row D" the security guard answered, "Sigh, follow us." They then lead the two adults to row D, and the two seats Dave picked happened to be by the stairs. Of course, the actual people assigned for those seats were already there, which were a young couple dressed like punks.

"Perfect" Dave thought, "They definitely look like the type of people who wouldn't give up their seats. Me and Ms. Miller will bicker with them which will keep the guards occupied."

"Excuse me" the security guard began to speak to the punks, "I'm afraid you two are sitting in the wrong seats, they're actually for them." He then pointed to Dave and Ms. Miller.

"What did you say?" said the punk boyfriend in an aggressive tone as he stood up.

"Yeah" the punk girlfriend sneered as she stood up as well, "What do you mean we have the wrong seats." It seemed everything was going along with the plan.

"You heard them" Ms. Miller spat, "You're sitting in our seats. Now move, my back is aching!"

The punk guy then shoved the security guard to the side and walked straight up to the old woman with a serious look on his face. "Oh we have your seats" he frowned. "Oh sorry about that, we'll move immediately" he said in a friendly tone.

Dave and Ms. Miller's mouth hung open. They watched as the punk couple began to pick up their belongings. "Wait" Dave sweated, "Are you absolutely sure that these are our seats."

"Doesn't matter" the punk girl responded, "Your mother needs to sit down. Plus we thought these were our seats, but I guess we're mistaken." She then turned to the guards, "Can you help us find our seats?" Dave and Ms. Miller started to freak out as their plan was falling apart. But then some yelling started at row A, the front row.

"This can't be right" said the Brittany fan with the messed up nose, "We're sitting next to each other!"

"I don't want to sit next to you either!" the small Alvin fan spat.

The Brittany fans scoffed, "Alvin fans, thinking that they can sit wherever they want."

"And you Brittany fans act like you own everything!" the Alvin fan scoffed. All of the hyper fans were starting to get riled up and even started to push each other. Their fighting then got the attention of the entire audience.

"Hey!" the security guard yelled loudly, "Cut that out!"

The arguments between the fans started to get people talking, even the punk couple. "Those people are obnoxious" the punk guy remarked, "Who cares which band leader is better. They're both great, but I do like Alvin more. He has the cooler attitude."

"Excuse me" the punk girl scoffed, "I mean that's fine if you think that, but honestly Brittany is better. She's a lot more level headed than Alvin. People say she's a drama queen but Alvin overreacts to everything."

"Hey, my man is just passionate" the punk guy responded angrily, "Brittany isn't passionate about anything!" Then all throughout the theater, people began to argue which chipmunk was better.

"Aww great" the security guard groaned, knowing how much work he had to do now, "Fans, am I right?" But when he turned to face Dave and Ms. Miller, they seemed to have disappeared. The guard scratched his head and wondered where they went until a hot dog was thrown at his head. "Hey, who threw that?!" he shouted angrily.

Dave and Ms. Miller actually managed to sneak behind stage as well, knowing that the security would be too busy handling the audience. "Let's go see how the kids are doing" Dave proclaimed to the old woman. And so they began to find where the others went.

Over at the left side of the stage, DJ was having a hard time finding the sound system as Frankie followed him. "Jeez, where they heck is the sound system?" DJ asked out loud, "It better not be in some hard to reach place." He then felt a tap from Frankie. He turned to the monster, who pointed at a sign by a ladder. It said 'Ladder to Sound System (Caution)'. DJ looked up at the ladder and saw it went all the way up top of the stage. "Woah that's high up" DJ gulped. He didn't have much of a fear of heights, but climbing a ladder that tall seemed kinda dangerous. But he was in so much danger already that he guessed it didn't matter. So he let out a sigh as he and the monster began to climb the tall ladder. As he climbed, he tried to look down. When the audience came into full view, he nearly fell. He was so surprised that such a large crowd showed up, and for his mom out of all people. He then noticed that the audience didn't look that peaceful, as everyone seemed to be arguing about something. He wondered why that was the case while he continued to climb. Once he reached the top of the ladder (which went directly onto the sound room), he poked his head inside and saw the goons sitting there.

"Oh my god, I'm done repeating it to you, Fred!" Gary spat as he sat on a turning chair, feet on the soundboard, "You're just going to forget again."

"Come on Gary" Fred whined (he was just standing up), "I promised I'll remember. I need to know how Mr. Hawke was able to afford renting the stage and adding the effects!"

"Oh my god!" Gary screamed in anger, "For the last time, you moron, we stole the money from the orphanage!"

DJ gasped, "So these are the guys who stole the money!"

"Oh" Fred nodded his head, "But wait, I thought Mr. Hawke made that money."

"He did" Gary answered, "He just wanted to frame those dumb rats so the pink one won't go running. I mean you and me even tricked the manager learning about it at the mall. What do you think we've been doing this entire time?!"

"I guess I'm not sure" Fred scratched his chin, "Do you know?" But he didn't ask Gary, he was actually facing DJ, who was shocked that he was caught. Gary then faced where his partner was facing.

"Whoa, what are you doing here?!" the short man shouted.

"Oh just sightseeing" DJ lied, "Now I'll go look somewhere else." But before the maroon chipmunk could get away, Gary grabbed him.

"Where do you think you're going?" Gary sneered, "No way we're letting you go running your mouth!"

"Yeah" Fred chuckled, "Mr. Hawke and the boss will get mad at us."

Gary had a strong grip on the headphones wearing chipmunk, so it didn't seem like DJ was going anywhere. "Hey Fred" Gary smirked sinisterly, "How about we teach this rat what snitching gets you."

"Sure" Fred cracked his knuckles, "Get ready to have stitches." DJ shut his eyes, terrified that this large man was going to get physical with him.

But then suddenly Frankie popped his head and got really angry. He climbed into the room and snuck up behind Fred. Gary and DJ watched as the monster started to wind up his fist. "Oh you gotta be joking" Gary commented. Fred turned around and immediately got punched in the face. The large man fell backwards onto the soundboard. He activated some buttons. The lights outside facing the night sky then started to turn faster. Surprisingly, despite looking quite wounded, Fred was still standing. He got angry at himself as he jumped on the monster. An all out fist fight then erupted between the strong figures. Without even noticing, they started activating stuff all throughout the theater. While a guy was walking back to his seat with a lot of snacks in hand, the stairs suddenly collapsed and he went sliding down. One of the people working backstage went to get a sip from the water fountain and immediately got sprayed in the face.

Meanwhile, Ian and Eleanor were still having a private conversation. "So tell me, my lord, what's your opinion on singing chipmunks?" Ian asked.

Eleanor gulped, finding the question strange as she was one, "Oh, you know… I think they're neat…" She was soon interrupted by the lights flickering on and off. Over at the serving table, it was flipped over by a control panel and the food got all over the investors.

"Oh my god!" Ian cried. He then ran over to the investors just when Brittany was about to grab the pictures again as he helped clean them up, "I am so sorry, I have no idea what's going on." He then turned to one of his assistants. "What's going on?!" he yelled angrily.

"Sir, the soundboard" the assistant nervously answered, "It controls the whole theater. It must be having a glitch." Ian then let out a load moan.

Dave and Ms. Miller dodged every crazy thing coming their way backstage. Lasers were shot, pies were thrown, and springs bounced. But what really got them was the huge fan that appeared behind them. The strong wind knocked them over and they fell to the ground. Without Dave even realizing, two items fell out of his pocket and were carried away by the wind.

Alvin was dodging crazy stuff as well. He was having an easier time dodging thanks to his athletic abilities. He had been searching high and low for Brittany and suddenly the entire place started to turn upside down. Suddenly the strong wind met him and he nearly fell over. Suddenly he saw a shiny object fly towards him. Alvin caught it without thinking and wondered what it was. But before he could even see, sheets of paper flew into his face and he started to stumble backwards.

Ian, the investors, Theodore, and Eleanor were being flung around by the activating contraptions. The two small chipmunks even separated, dismantling their disguised in an instant. Brittany decided it was too risky to stand up, so she continued to lay on the ground. But then she noticed the photos flying out of Ian's pockets. She saw her chance and carefully crawled to the incriminating evidence through all the chaos. Once she reached them, she held them in the air triumphantly. She even stood up and admired her handywork. But she was so distracted by the pictures, she didn't see Alvin tumbling backwards. So the red capped teen bumped into the pink teen and they fell into a opened shaft that opened briefly. Inside the shaft was a slide, and they went sliding down to the basement.

Back at the sound system, Frankie and Fred were still fighting as Gary continued to hold DJ. The two large figures nearly activated everything on the board that it started to overheat. Then suddenly the fuse went out and everything went dark. Everyone in the audience whined while everything deactivated. Fred could no longer see, but little did he know was that Frankie could see in the dark thanks for his tampered genes. The monster took one more swing and knocked Fred cold. "Fred!" Gary cried as he let go of DJ and ran over to the doofus.

DJ let out a big sigh, assuming everything was resolved thanks to the power going out. He leaned on something so he could finally relax. But suddenly the thing he was leaning on fell down. Before anyone knew it, all the lights came back on. The monitors displaying the stage turned on as well. The crowd cheered as it seemed the show wasn't dead. DJ was dumbfounded as he watched all the monitors turn back on. He looked over to what he leaned on and saw it was the lever to the backup generator. "NO!" DJ cried, he slammed his fist against the wall and kent down to the floor. Thanks to his carelessness and bad luck, it seemed he accidently reignited Brittany's performance.

Gary continued to try to shake Fred awake until he saw a shadow cast over him. He turned around to see Frankie glare at him with violent intentions. The small man gulped. If Fred couldn't take the monster down, there was no way he could. So Gary beat Frankie to the punch, as in he punched himself in the face, and falling unconscious on top of his huge coworker.

Ian was horrified for a moment when the power went out that the performance was unceremoniously cancelled. Contrary, Dave, Ms. Miller, and the chipmunks were hopeful such a thing would happen. But also those feelings quickly faded when the power came back on. "Hazzah!" Ian chanted, "We're back in business baby! I knew there was nothing to worry about Duke Periwinkle…" He turned to face the supposed duke, but instead he was met with two small chipmunks wearing each halves of a king costume. It seemed amongst the chaos, Theodore and Eleanor were separated, exposing their true identities. Everyone around them gasped. "Hey, you're not a duke!" Ian shouted, "You're the chubby chipmunks!"

The comment hit the two of them like a ton of bricks. Sure they knew now that Ian was a bad guy, it hurt to hear someone you admired for so long say something so mean to your face. "Is that how you see us?!" Eleanor glared, "Is that the reason you've been pushing me to join the gym."

"I was doing you a favor! How are you supposed to be popular if you got a muffin top?!" Ian spat, "What are you two doing here anyway?! You think you're gonna somehow convince me to take you back. Well sorry, but I don't need you anymore!"

Ian was then pushed to the ground by Theodore. The green chipmunk grunted heavily, glaring at his former producer. Eleanor gasped; Theodore was always so peaceful, and he never lost his temper, well not until now. It honestly scared her. Theodore stomped over to Ian and grabbed him by the collar. He glared at the bald man some more until he started to tear up. "Ian, I thought you were our friend. I thought you cared about us" he sniffled, "But now I see you're really just..just. Just a big meanie head!"

Eleanor gasped harder, "Theodore!" Never before has Theodore insulted someone like that, he must've been really upset.

Ian, however, was no longer intimidated. He started to laugh mockingly at the green chipmunk. He was laughing so hard that his eyes started to water. "Meaniehead?!" he hollered, "Jeez, and you wonder why I fired you!" This caused Theodore to turn red with rage. Not in his right mind, Theodore made a fist and prepared to punch Ian in the face when a security guard grabbed him.

"Teddy!" Eleanor cried in horror. Then she too, was swept up by a security officer. Theodore, still filled with rage, squirmed like crazy but he was unable to break free. Ian simply smiled evilly at the sight.

Back at the sound system, DJ was still sulking on the floor while Frankie tried to calm himself down. But then he took notice of one of the monitors, which showed Theodore and Eleanor being grabbed by security. He saw how the small boy flailed around in the guard's arms, and it scared half to bits. "Friend!" the monster cried. Without hesitation, Frankie dropped down the latter and ran over to rescue his friends.

DJ was now suddenly left alone. He looked around the monitors and saw his uncle and aunt being escorted out, which also frightened him. He then desperately searched the other monitors to find any signs of his parents, and if they were together. To his misery, neither of them were in sight. Everything was falling apart. In a last ditch attempt to turn things around, he shuffled over to the soundboard in hopes of stopping the concert. But when he tried to press down on a button, his finger felt no contact. He was confused as he tried again and again. He wondered why he was having such a hard time pressing a single button until he noticed that his finger was going through them. He gasped as he took a closer look at his index finger. Suddenly he was able to see through it. Then another sharp pain entered his body. So sharp in fact that it caused DJ to fall to the ground. He cried in pain, his entire body was on fire. The maroon chipmunk tried to get up but he lost all of his strength. He watched helplessly as his body became more transparent.

With his muscles failing and his vision going dark, he no longer had the will to get back up. It was over. He couldn't carry it on, all of his powers drained. He was going to disappear. He failed and failed everyone. It was his fault that they were in this mess. He went back in time and meddled in the past too much. Now he was paying the price. He started to tear up, realizing that he wasn't going to see his family again. He began to regret all the mistakes he ever made in life, like not having to the guts to ask MC out sooner, teasing his sister, not being better in school, even trashing that hotel room that one time. We would give anything to return to 2020. He would even give up dj-ing forever, he just wanted to be with his family again. He wanted to be back to his life with Carol and their parents, their grown up parents. Yeah, his parents were strict, but they loved him. One week ago, he thought his parents were annoying. They weren't supportive of his dreams of being a dj, and they constantly nagged him for getting into trouble. He also hated how everyone kept talking about what amazing rockstars they were. He thought, "Who, my parents, wild and crazy? Never in a million years!" But after spending a week with their past selves, he saw what cool and talented people they were.

Which made it all the more sadder that he wasn't able to stop Ian from ruining his parents' lives. He should've been suspicious of the man when he was so energetic with the fundraiser. Now Ian had the power of sending his parents, aunts, and uncles to prison, ruining their reputation in the process. He then realized that this was the consequence his dad had to deal with for 30 years. All those times of bending over backwards for Ian, even if it meant being distant from his family, was so he could protect them. DJ then remembered the last thing he ever said to his adult father was, "I WISH YOU WEREN'T MY DAD!" How could he say something so cruel to him? He took one last look at the fading picture, which used to be a touching memory of when his parents took him and Carol to New York. DJ was nearly gone, with his parents no to far behind. He then heard thunder in the distance.

Back at the roof of the school, Simon and Jeanette heard it as well. "Simon" Jeanette gasped, is that?..." They then saw flashes coming from the horizon of the Pacific Ocean.

"The storm" Simon gasped as well.

Everyone else at the Hollywood Bowl heard it as well. "Mr. Hawke!" Crystal exclaimed as she ran over to him, "Did you hear that? It sounded like thunder. Sir, I really think we should…"

"No, I am not canceling the show!" Ian shouted, "We were lucky with the sudden blackout, I'm not going to miss this opportunity!" He then turned to Theodore and Eleanor, "As for you two… I will deal with you later. For now, Guards take them to the backroom and lock them in there!" The guards then began to drag the small chipmunks away.

"No!" Eleanor cried, "Give back my sister!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that, blondie" Ian straighten his suit confidently, "Now if you excuse me, I have a huge concert to begin. Assistants, retrieve my little star for me; it's almost time for the show to begin." His assistants both nodded as they were quick to follow their boss' orders. "Dancers, get into position!" The bald man commanded the 16 background dancers, who were idling by. They complied as well, positioning themselves at each exit of the stage.

At this moment, Dave and Ms. Miller saw their youngest children being carried off by the security. "Kids!" Ms. Miller cried. Dave immediately covered her mouth, so they won't get captured too.

"That's it" Dave said in a serious tone, "I'm done with Ian hurting my children; I'm going to take him down." He then proceeded to walk away.

"David!" Ms. Miller called out, worried that the man was about to get in big trouble, "David, don't!"

The assistants ran up to the makeup room, which was where Brittany was supposed to be. But they noticed that the door was left open. "Ms. Miller?" one of them called out, "It's your time to go up…" But to their horror, the star of the show was not there.

The other assistant gasped, "Where is she?!"

"I don't know!" the other one responded, "But we better find her quick, or else we're dead meat!" They then ran off, trying to find Brittany as fast as possible. But unfortunately for them, they weren't going to find her, because she was under the stage.

Said chipette got up after falling down a long shoot. She observed her surroundings, it seemed she was under the stage. She could hear the crowd on the other side of the wall. The only light present was from the stage lights seeping through the cracks. There were wires, machinery, a boombox, musical instruments, outfits, and the platform that rose to the stage."Wait!" she thought, "Where are the pictures?!" Brittany desperately looked around the area, and luckily for her, it was laying atop a dark lump. She went over to pick them up, when suddenly the dark lumped moved and grabbed her. She let out of yelp as she threw the pictures on the floor and backed away. Once she got a closer look at the moving figure, it was revealed to be Alvin.

"Ow, my head" Alvin groaned as he sat up, he then noticed he was holding one of the pictures, "What's this?" He studied the picture and saw it was exactly what Frankenstein described the incriminating photos be, looking like him and the other teens stole the money. He then paused once he locked eyes with the other person in the room. Him and Brittany were staring silently at each other, not moving an inch. Finally, Alvin had the courage to speak. "Brittany!" he smiled, "Thank god I found you…" But he was interrupted when Brittany fiercely snatched the photo out of his hand and ripped to pieces. She then continued to pick the other photos up, and rip them too. "Brittany" Alvin tried to talk to her, "Me, Dave, Ms. Miller, and everyone else are here to rescue you! We learned about how Ian tricked you and is holding you hostage." But Brittany continued to ignore him. "Um, Britt" he muttered awkwardly, "You can hear me, right?"

Brittany pausd once again and finally turned to face Alvin, but with a serious glare, "I heard you, I just don't want to talk to you."

Alvin then gulped, "Yeah, I understand. After what I said on Thursday. I just want to say that…"

"Sorry Seville, but you're not going to win me over with an apology this time," Brittany snapped, "You're always apologizing, yet you never improve. I briefly forgot that this past week."

"Hey" Alvin frowned, "I don't apologize that often."

"Oh yeah" Brittany rolled her eyes, "You sometimes do bad things without feeling sorry, or sometimes you don't really mean it, like at Crystal Clear."

"But I did mean it!" Alvin argued, "Brittany, if I didn't feel sorry, I wouldn't have gone all through the trouble of saving you!"

"But if you actually cared about me, you wouldn't had said those neasty things!" Brittany screamed, her eyes then began to water, "You've been putting me down for years, saying hurtful things! And what happened at the beach was the final straw! I never understood why. You never talked like that to anyone else, not even my sisters. Why must you put me down?! Are you jealous, do you find me annoying, what is it?!" Brittany patiently waited for Alvin to answer. He had her full attention, but he didn't say anything. He just pathetically sat there. She let out a groan, of course he wouldn't answer. So she gave up and tried to find the exit. To her annoyance, the place was too dark and complicated to travel in. The only clear exit was by taking the platform platform up. The pink chipette sat down in frustration, facing away from the still silent boy. Even with the pictures ripped up, there seemed to be no escape out of this horrible situation. Brittany started to sob again, trying desperately to hold them back.

This was when Alvin decided to speak up again, feeling concerned for Brittany. "W-what's the matter?" Alvin reluctantly asked. Brittany didn't respond, she briefly glared at him before turning her head back. The red capped teen let out a depressing sigh. He should've known this would happen. He really hated to admit it, but he was bad at dealing with emotions. Instead of trying to make things better, he would only make things worse. And when he did try to do better, he had no idea what to do. What can he say, what can he do to fix everything with Brittany? He decided to sit in silence himself, somberly looking around, nearly close to giving up.

But then he noticed two peculiar items on the ground. It was the stack of papers and shiny things that he and Brittany fell down here before. Out of curiosity, he decided to look at the papers. Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly considering where he was, the stack of papers were actually music sheets. But when he studied the notes and lyrics, he found he was unable to recognize the song. As he read the lyrics more, the message of it was hitting him like an asteroid. It pretty much told him that if you're honest, and try to listen to each other, you'll find a common ground. But when he read the name of who wrote the song, he immediately knew what he had to do. He went over to Brittany and hugged her tightly from behind. "Alvin!" Brittany jumped, "What are you doing? Let go of me!"

"I am jealous!" Alvin shouted, "I've always been jealous… of you that is…" Brittany was motionless, not believing what she was hearing. Alvin then started to tear up a bit himself,"The first time I met you and your sisters, you had the same band name as us. Remember, we decided to have a competition to see who was the better band, and the band that one would get to keep the name. Up to that point I thought I was the best there is, that no one could top me. But when I saw you sing, I saw you dance…. You were absolutely amazing. When I became scared that you might actually win the name of our band, it made me realize that I could be replaced, forgotten. Being the dumb kid I was, I tried to fight back by putting you down. I feared that if I stopped, that you would overshadow me. Afterall, you're better than me in every way. I never felt like I was close to ever being good as you, so I treated you like an enemy. You're totally in the right to hate me."

Brittany turned to face Alvin, eyes were red with runny makeup. "You felt threatened by me?" she sniffled, "Alvin, you're far more famous than me. You always bring great energy in both life and performing, and you never let anything stop you. I was always so jealous of how beloved you were while not many people knew me. And it bothers me how the Chipettes only got more popular when we started to collaborate with you. I both relied on you and could never surpass you. And when you started to tease me, I initially thought it was because I deserved it. You're not the one with a self esteem problem."

"Brittany, don't be ridiculous" Alvin shook his head, "My band also benefited off of yours. The songs that feature both of us are the most popular. And you're a great performer too. You have great moves and the best singing voice I ever heard."

"But you're a phenomenal guitar player" Brittany exclaimed, "Everyone thinks you're the coolest, and you're voice you use for rock songs is so awesome. Admit it, you're better than me!"

"No you're better than me!" Alvin shot back.

"No you're better!" Brittany snapped.

"I'm not better, you're better!" Alvin spat. They then both paused, realizing how absurd they were being. They both then started to chuckle. "Wow Britt" Alvin giggled, "Out of all the countless dumb arguments we had, this takes the cake!…"

Suddenly, he was tackled against the wall by Brittany. She had him in the tightest hug that would make Frankie blush. "Oh Alvin" she cooed,"All this time we thought we hated each other, but in reality we couldn't adore each other more. How the heck did we end up like this?"

"Well Britt," Alvin smiled as he wrapped his hands around the pink chipette, "we were blinded by each others awesomeness."

Brittany laughed gleefully as she dug her head deeper into Alvin's chest. "Alvin, I never want to leave your side again!" she smiled.

"Me neither, Brittany" Alvin said softly, "Me neither." They laid there, embracing each other, for about a minute. They were probably the happiest they've been in a long time.

But suddenly the sweet tender moment was interrupted by a microphone. "What is up Los Angeles?!" Ian announced in the microphone. The crowd went wild.

"Simon!" Jeanette called the blue chipmunk while pointing at the TV, who was adding the final touches to the lightning rod, "It's starting!"

Ian then continued, "I know what you are all here for. You're here to see the princess in pink, the rockin' rodent gal, the queen B herself, Brittany the Chipette!"

Simon quickly hurried over and watched. "Oh no" the bespectacled chipmunk gasped, "They haven't stopped the show yet!"

DJ was still lying on the floor, near the sound system. He let a groaned once he heard the voice of the man he despised, covering his ears in his final moments.

The bald man proceeded, "Now not only we got a full house of 17,500 people, but all of America is watching to see Brittany's big solo debut. No longer shall she be held back by inconsiderate sisters or uncaring friends, because tonight she's going to sing 12 songs all by herself!" The crowd cheered even louder.

Everyone was excited, except for the Alvin fans. "Boo!" the small Alvin fan cried, "Brittany is nothing but a career stealer!" The other fanatics started to boo as well.

"Oh boo yourself!" snapped the large Brittany fan.

Ian coughed to tell the folks to be quiet, "As I was saying, Brittany may not have had the best family life, but thanks to yours truly, she can shine brighter than ever before!"

"Don't listen to a damn word he says!" Everyone gasped when Dave came marching in on stage. "This man is a cheat and a crook!" he exclaimed, "We love Brittany, and this man convinced her that we didn't so he could exploit her for his own selfish needs."

Ian got really mad in the face, but decided to play it cool. "Oh hello David Seville, former of Brittany" Ian greeted sinisterly, "You're accusing me of exploiting Brittany? Well you're the one to talk. You exploited the chipmunks so much that it rubbed off on them, especially Alvin. I heard he got arrested for stealing the money from the orphanage." The crowd then gasped.

"My son did no such thing!" Dave spat, "Actually it was you who…"

But then suddenly he was interrupted by the large Alvin fan, "Yeah, Alvin is innocent! Brittany is probably the one who stole the money!"

"What?!" Dave stammered, "That's not what I'm implying at all. I'm saying that Ian…"

"Brittany would never do such a thing!" the smaller Brittany fan shot back, "Alvin's a crook. Just admit it."

Ian chuckled, "Come on people, we know the one who stole the money was the worse of the two. Which I think we can all agree on who it is." Of course, the whole didn't agree in the slightest. They all returned to the heated debate on whether Alvin or Brittany was better.

"Everyone, forget that!" Dave cried, "Um hello!"

Ian then slowly walked up to Dave with a sly grin on his face. "Sorry Dave, but no one listening to you" he chuckled, "There to busy arguing which one of the kids is better."

Dave looked appalled. "You did this on purpose didn't you?" he gasped.

"Yep!" Ian nodded his head, "Nothing distracts people better than pointless celebrity beef. Finally after all these years, I have all the power. There is nothing you can do! Guards, take him away!"

Dave was suddenly grabbed by two security guards.

"Dave!" Simon and Jeanette cried as they helplessly watched the broadcast.

"No!" Dave cried, "Everyone, you got to listen! Ian having you all fooled!" But no one listened.

Ian laughed maniacally before continuing the announcement. "All right everyone, quite down or else the show won't start" he explained. And this was the thing that shut the audience up. "Excellent" Ian smirked, "Now before the show can begin, I must read out to all our lovely sponsors. Our first sponsor is Pepsi, the choice of the new generation!"

While Ian partook in his favorite activity of capitalism, Alvin and Brittany had watched everything through the small cracks of the stage, and were pretty shaken by the events that just transpired. "I can't believe it" Brittany frowned, "Dave was trying to warn our fans, but all they cared about was which one of us was better!"

"Yeah, how dumb is that?" Alvin humped, "Like it doesn't matter who's better. It doesn't make you a bad person if you like another artist. I wish they could see that!"

"Yeah, constantly bickering won't bring you anywhere" Brittany snapped, "They have no real good reason to be enemies…. Wait a minute, Alvin. Our fans treat each other this way because that's how we treated each other…"

"Oh" Alvin felt a hint of guilt, "Well we're good friends now, what if we tell them to stop?"

Brittany rolled her eyes, "It's not going to be that easy, Alvin. You saw what happened with Dave, just talking won't get through them. Plus Ian totally has them under control. It's hard to change people like that. So I'm wondering why you suddenly became more honest."

"Oh" Alvin said again, but this time he felt a little embarrassed, "About that, I feel like you would laugh if I told you."

"Alvin" Brittany pestered, "Be honest. I promise I won't laugh."

The red capped chipmunk gulped, "Okay, fine. Here, I was inspired by this." He then handed her the music sheets.

Brittany read though the notes and lyrics. "Wow, Alvin" Brittany said, awstruck, "Where did you find this? What a minute, is this?!"

"Seems like it" Alvin confirmed."Wait a minute…. Wait a minute!" he yelled enthusiastically. He then got and ran over to the shiny object. "Ah ha!" the red teen cheered. He put the shiny object in his pocket and started digging through the instruments. He was then happy to have found a shiny red electric guitar, and he chuckled mischievously, admiring its beauty. Brittany just watched him, feeling quite confused. Alvin then grabbed the boombox, unplugged some wires, and plugged the box in. Finally, he grabbed some punk clothes off the floor, and went behind a corner to change.

"Alvin," Brittany wondered, "What are you doing?" Alvin then reappeared. Now he was wearing a red leather jacket and pants, lots of chains, biker gloves, and even a pair of shades.

"I know how we can take Ian down" he said with a cheeky smile, he then handed Brittany a headset while he put on one himself.

"And how are we going to do that?" Brittany asked once more.

"Why by doing what we do best!" Alvin exclaimed as he showed her the shiny object. She then began to understand once she realized it was a cassette tape. Alvin then reached out his hand to her, "You want to rock this town tonight with me, girl of rock n' roll?"

Brittany smiled as she took the red capped teens hand, "There's nothing more that I rather do, boy of rock n' roll"

"Well that's all the sponsors" Ian announced, "Now it's the moment you all been waiting for!" The crowd cheered. Dave, Simon and Jeanette all watched helplessly, feeling sadder than they ever had before.

DJ even felt slightly worse than he already had. "Just start the damn show already!" he groaned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls alike" Ian buildup, "I present you the hottest name in music, Brittany the Chipette, with her first song, "Girls Just want to Have Fun!" The crowd roared as the song began to play. But the strange thing was, it wasn't 'Girl Just Want to Have Fun' playing. "Sorry everyone, just a little technical difficulty" Ian laughed nervously, "I said play, Girls Just Want to Have Fun! This is not it, I don't even recognize this song." Everyone else, including DJ didn't recognize the song either, and trust him, he knows music. He noticed that he was able to stand again as he watched the monitors. Everyone else was looking around confused. "Hello!" Ian yelled in frustration, "This isn't the right song! What is dumb song song anyway?!"

The bald man then heard Dave laugh at the corner. "Oh, I recognize that dumb song" Dave answered, "It's… MY song!"

Ian gasped fearfully, realizing what Dave meant. He then heard sizzling under his feet. He looked down and saw he was standing right on top of the highly explosive smoke bombs, and someone seemed to have activated them. "Oh no" he muttered:

(Two singing voices) Yeah, yeah!

The smoke bombs exploded and sent Ian flying off stage.

(Two singing voices) Hey, yeah

Lights shined in the middle of the smoke as a shadowy figure playing the guitar rose out of the ground. The guitar player quickly turned around before the smoke cleared, and there Brittany stood.

Brittany:

Got myself a notion

And one I know that you'll understand

What surprised everyone was that Alvin appeared behind her. DJ gasped as he took out the photo, he was reappearing! Ian got up and was absolutely dumbfounded.

Alvin:

To set the world in motion

By reaching out for each other's hand

Alvin then grabbed Brittany and twirled her around. Their fans were dumbfounded as well, while also feeling quite strange. The background dancers weren't sure what was happening, but they shrugged as they entered the stage dancing along.

Brittany:

Maybe we'll discover

What we shoulda known all along, yeah

DJ was screwing about on the sound systems, activating all the effects to make the performance more lively. But when he saw Ian running towards his general direction, he gasped as he put the sound system on auto, grabbed the key, and locked the hatch in as he slid down the ladder. Meanwhile, Frankie found Theodore and Eleanor before they were thrown out by the guards. He angrily threw the guards out instead and grabbed the two chipmunks. They hugged for a moment, and when they heard the music playing, they hurried over to see the commotion.

Alvin:

One way or another, together's where we both belong

DJ ran around the corner, only to have come across Ian. The bald man saw he was holding the key and tried to grab it, but the maroon dodged and ran away. Ian then chased after him angrily. Meanwhile on stage, Alvin, Brittany, and the dancer got more lively in their dancing as the lasers shot around them.

Everyone:

If we listen to each other's heart

Brittany:

Oh yeah!
Alvin:

We'll find we're never too far apart

Everyone:

And maybe love is a reason why

Alvin:

For the first time ever, we're seein' it eye to eye

Alvin and Brittany then started to dance with each other. When the crowd saw them working together instead of fighting each other, they noticed how much fun they were having. So instead of being mad, they started to dance along with them. DJ kept running away until he came across Crystal, who was about to grab him herself. But dodged again. Now he was being chased around by both the producer and hostess. Theodore and Eleanor hurried to see what was happening on stage and were happily shocked to see their siblings dancing. Alvin and Brittany caught them and smiled, gesturing to join them. The two small chipmunks cheered as they ran over and started dancing with their older siblings.

Brittany:

If a wall should come between us

Too high to climb, too hard to break through

DJ kept running until he came across another corner. Crystal tried to grab the key, but DJ pushed her and she stumbled backwards.

Alvin:

I know that love'll lead us

And find a way to bring me to you

Ian tried to jump DJ but he slid under his knees. This was when Crystal accidentally bumped into him.

Brittany:

So don't be in a hurry

Think before you count us out

Ian angrily shoved Crystal out of the way, causing her to fall on the investors. Needless to say, all of those people now began to look down on him.

Alvin:

Oh!

You don't have to worry

I won't ever let you down

DJ grabbed on a rope attached to a sand bag and almost zipped up, but Ian caught him by the plaid shirt. DJ struggled for a bit and Ian happily tried to grab the keys again. But DJ got the smart idea of taking off his plaid shirt and he went flying to the scaffolding up top.

Brittany:

Nothing's gonna stop us now

Meanwhile, everyone in the crowd continued to cheer the chipmunks on. Alvin and Brittany were singing to the audience, but they couldn't help but keep looking at each other.

Everyone:

If we listen to each other's heart

Alvin:

We'll find we're never too far apart

Everyone:

And maybe love is a reason why

(Brittany: Whoa whoa!)

Brittany:

Ah ha!

Alvin:

For the first time ever, we're seein' it

Alvin and Brittany:

Eye to eye!

DJ continued to crawl across the scaffolding, then suddenly Ian appeared behind him with an evil smile.

Back up:

Love is why we're seein' it eye to eye

DJ crawled even faster away from Ian, who picked up the pace as well.

(Alvin: Yes we are!)

eye to eye we're seein' it

(Brittany: Seein' it eye to eye!)

Love is why we're seein' it eye to eye

(Alvin: Seein' it eye to eye, yeah!)

eye to eye we're seein' it

(Brittany: Seein' it eye to eye!)

DJ then jumped on the circular stage lighting, right above there performance. Ian was quick to follow him.

Love is why we're seein' it eye to eye

(Alvin: I guess we're seein' it eye to eye!)

eye to eye we're seein' it

Alvin:

Yeah!

Brittany:

Eye to eye!

The music suddenly stopped and everyone looked around confused. Then suddenly, the gang leader came marching in from the shadows while holding the plug. "It's about time someone turned off this squeaky music" he grinned evilly.

"What are you doing here?!" Alvin spat.

"Well it doesn't seem like you've learned your lesson" the gang lead answered, "I'm sick of seeing your sorry face everywhere, so I'm here to put an end to it!"

"Hey" Brittany snapped, "Who do you think you are?! Interrupting our show like that?! Why don't you get your ugly butt out of here before security gets you."

"Oh" the gang leader laughed as he looked at Alvin, "Looks like your girlfriend is fighting for you again, haha! Oh wait, she's not your girlfriend right?" Alvin then began to get mad. "You're just a coward, kid" the gang leader spat, "You know you can't take me on. Even if I started twisting this broad's arm!" He then grabbed Brittany and began to hurt her.

"Ow" Brittany cried, "Let me go!"

"Nah" the gang leader answered, "I'm having too much fun" He then began to hurt the pink chipette more. DJ looked down at horror at the display. Everyone else was quite petrified as well. He turned to look at his dad, and he was just standing there. Then suddenly, the maroon chipmunk felt like he was disappearing again as Ian was closing in on him.

"I said let me go!" Brittany pleaded.

"Shut up, you damn rat!" the gang leader smiled, "I'm trying to show you the strength of a real man"

Alvin couldn't take it anymore. His blood boiled, his eyes reddened. "GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF HER!" he screamed so loud that it echoed across the city. The amount of anger he gave off was unbelievable.

But this didn't intimidate the gang leader, "Haha. Why, because you love her?..."

Suddenly, Alvin started to do a guitar solo as he jumped and kicked the crook in the face. He fell backwards and let go of Brittany. Alvin continued to play the guitar as the gangster tried to punch him, but he kept dodging. He then kicked him again, and the gang leader was knocked pretty far back. Brittany's heart started to race as she watched Alvin continue his solo. DJ was watching too, and was awestruck by Alvin's awesomeness. Alvin looked into Brittany's eyes, both of their eyeballs sparkled.

Alvin:

if you're ever lonely, then stop

The gang leader was about to attack him again, but Alvin punched him the face without even looking. Then the crook stumbled backwards again and fell off stage. It was a total knockout.

Alvin:

You don't have to be

Alvin then grabbed Brittany and they began to spin around.

Alvin:

After all, it's only a beat away from you to me

Brittany then grabbed a hold of Alvin as they came to a complete stop. And Ian was about to grab DJ.

Brittany:

Take a look inside and see

And then, in front of the whole world, Brittany closed her eyes, pulled Alvin closer…

And kissed him. Everyone gasped as the two of them kept their lips locked. Alvin embraced Brittany back, as he pulled her closer. People started to cheer. Simon and Jeanette hugged and danced around in victory. Theodore and Eleanor were beyond happy as well, as they began to jump around and hugging too.

DJ was probably the happiest of them all. He took out the photo, and everyone on it quickly returned. Him and his sister were back on their laps. He even felt his strength returned to him. He then saw that Ian was right on top of him. With his new found strength, he kicked the bald man off, and Ian went falling into the machinery and getting electrocuted, causing an amazing light show on stage. Everyone returned to singing, but even more lively.

Everyone:

if we listen to each other's heart

Alvin and Brittany:

We'll find we're never too far apart

Everyone:

And maybe love is a reason why

Alvin and Brittany:

For the first time ever, we're seein' it eye to eye

DJ was so happy and excited to see his parents finally together that he fell off the lighting. He managed to grab a rope in time, but he landed right in the middle of the stage. Everyone was now staring at him confused. Simon and Jeanette were scared for a moment that DJ had ruined the show. But then, out of quick thinking, DJ started to dance along to the music, using his modern dance moves. He kept dancing awkwardly as everyone watched them. Suddenly Alvin and Brittany gave each other a look, before joining in, copying their son's moves. The crowd cheered and decided to copy DJ as well. DJ was dumbfounded to saw thousands of people following his head. "So this is what being a rockstar is like" he thought, "It's amazing!"

Everyone:

if we listen to each other's heart

Alvin and Brittany:

We'll find we're never too far apart

Everyone:

And maybe love is a reason why

Alvin and Brittany:

For the first time ever, we're seein' it

Everyone:

if we listen to each other's heart

Alvin and Brittany:

We'll find we're never too far apart

Everyone:

And maybe love is a reason why

Alvin and Brittany:

For the first time ever, we're seein' it

Everyone:

Eye to Eye!

People weren't just dancing along at the concert, and everyone who was watching TV was dancing as well. Simon and Jeanette were of course dancing, but so were Gwen and the orphans as they watched the performance at a homeless shelter. Mike and Jake were dancing with the crowd as they sold snacks. Even Mr. Talbot was dancing in his home. But he quickly caught himself trying to act more sophisticated.

Back up:

Everyone on stage posed on the final beat. DJ's parents each had a hand on each of his shoulders. The crowd went wild. They were applauding, cheering, and whistling.

"Wow, Brittany was pretty cool" the large Alvin fan remarked.

"Yeah, and Alvin totally rocked it on the guitar!" the smaller Brittany fan added. The fanatics enjoyed the performance so much that there were no longer harsh feelings towards each other.

"Put it there" the smaller Alvin fan smiled as he put his hand out. The larger Brittany fan then grabbed his hand and shook it pretty hard. Once he pulled away, he winced in pain.

"You know, guys" the larger Brittany fan said, "I think this is a start of a beautiful friendship" All the fans then nodded and cheered.

Back on stage, Alvin was quick to sweep Brittany off her feet and give her another smooch. DJ smiled at the sight. Theodore and Eleanor cheered as they ran over to hug their siblings again.

"Yeah!" Eleanor cheered.

"See!" Theodore smiled, "I knew you two love each other"

Alvin let out a hearty laugh and he ruffled his brother's hair. "Man Theo" Alvin responded, "I guess I should listen to you more. You're smarter than I thought"

Ms. Miller then ran over and gave the four of them a big hug. "Oh, I am so proud of you kids!" she sang.

But then Brittany separated herself and looked down. She fiddled with her fingers. "Ms. Miller, Eleanor" she began to say in a sad tone, "I'm sorry for being so mean to you. And um…. I really missed you. I shouldn't have taken you guys for granted. Can you find it in your hearts to have me back in the family?..."

Suddenly, Ms. Miller and Eleanor gave Brittany a big hug. "Oh Brittany" the old woman said softly, "Nothing in the world could stop me from loving you"

"Yeah, Brittany" Eleanor added, "We're sorry for calling you selfish. Just know me and Jeanette will always be your sisters."

A little tear fell from Brittany's eyes as she hugged them tighter. "Thank you" she uttered softly.

Ms. Miller then turned to the boys. "You know I do have to ask, what is that song?" she asked.

"Oh that reminds me" Alvin replied as he turned to speak to the audience, "Everyone, the song we just performed was "Eye to Eye" by the legendary songwriter, David Seville!"

Everyone began to clap as the guards decided to let Dave go. He then walked over to hug Alvin and Brittany. "That was a phenomenal performance guys" Dave remarked, "Thank you for letting me see people enjoy the song I wrote again. But how did you find it?"

"It kinda flew into my face" Alvin answered.

"Yeah" Brittany interjected as she wrapped herself around Alvin's arm, "It's a really good song, Dave. It helped us make up and it was so fun to perform."

"Thank you, Brittany" Dave blushed, "I worked really hard on it."

"Oh DJ!" Alvin exclaimed, "Those dance moves were off the hook! I never took you for a dancer."

DJ then blushed as well, "Well yeah, but you should see my other cousin Franklin's moves, there's out of this world."

"You have a cousin Franklin?" Eleanor asked.

Theodore then gasped, "Eleanor, we should name our kid that!"

"What, Franklin?" Eleanor replied, "I like that name, but why should we?"

"So we could call him Frankie!" Theodore answered, "To honor our good friend." They then both turned to the monster, who was hiding off to the side waving.

DJ didn't know how to feel about being the cause of the naming of his cousin so he tried not to think about it. He was just glad that everything ended up great. But he felt like he was forgetting something.

"Now wait just a minute!" shouted a distant voice. Ian then came limping in, being all shaggy and smokey from falling into electric cables. "You don't just waltz in here and take over my show! I'm going to sue" he spat, "Plus, Brittany broke her contract! I guess I have no choice but to…" He went to grab the incriminating photos in his back pocket, but was shocked to find it empty.

"Looking for these?" Brittany smirked as she took out shreds of the photos.

But to her surprise, instead of fear, Ian started to laugh. "Come on, Brittany" Ian laughed, "You honestly think I was dumb enough to only make one copy."

Suddenly, the monitor on the stage turned on. The screen showed Crystal and her goons standing by the sound system. "Oh, you mean these copies, Mr. Hawke" Crystal smiled, "You see, we were always planning on backstabbing you."

"So we made copies of our own" Gary sneered, "Show Em Fred"

"Aye aye" Fred complied. He then showed pictures he took of Ian holding the stolen cash and using it to rent the Bowl.

"What?!" Ian pretended to be innocent, "That's not me." The crowd then started to boo him and threw food at him.

"Sorry boss" Fred chuckled, "But I took of pictures" But then the next pictured he showed were of him, Gary, and Crystal helping Mr. Hawke, and even smuggling the money out of the Orphanage's basement.

Crystal and Gary had crazed looks on their faces as they turned to the large man.

"Fred" Crystal stammered, "Did you just show the entire world pictures of us robbing an orphanage"

"Yeah" Fred nodded obliviously, "You said to get every detail"

"Fred" Gary said blankly, "I'm not going to jail for robbery. I'm going to jail for murder after I'M DONE WITH YOU!" He then jumped onto Fred and started to beat him up. But the fight was quickly ended when cops came charging in and putting Crystal and her goons in handcuffs.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" Crystal screamed, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM, I'LL HAVE YOUR CAREERS RUINED!"

"M'am" the cop taking her away said, "I think you should be more worried about your career" Crystal then shook and screamed some as the cops took her away. The monitor then flipped off. Then everyone faced Ian.

"Oh look at the time!" Ian sweated heavily as he looked at his watch, "9:25, I should get going!" He then ran as fast as he could when he saw Officers Griffin and Simpson run after him. But Brittany decided to stick out her foot so the bald man could trip over it. Ian fell flat onto the ground and was immediately tackled by Simpson.

"You're going to jail for a long time, big Hollywood hot shot" she quipped. She then handcuffed Ian and took him away.

"No!" Ian cried, "This isn't what was supposed to happen! I always win! I get you chipmunks, if it's the last thing I do. I shall have my revenge!"

DJ smiled as he watched the man that had been hurting his family for years be whisked away from their lives.

One Ian was gone, Officer Griffin turned to the family. "Y'all might need to come in for the court case, but other than that, he should be out of your hair," he stated, he then turned to Brittany, "We took a look at that contract of yours, and we find to doesn't align with your basic human, or should I say chipmunk, rights. So it's pretty much invalid." He then took out the said contract and ripped it in half. The family then cheered. "Have a safe trip" Officer Griffin lifted his hat before walking away.

"Oh Alvin" Brittany sang as she hugged her new boyfriend, "This has to be the happiest day of my life!"

"It sure is" Alvin smiled, "I can now see why that alien said that we're supposed to be together."

Brittany rolled her eyes, "Alvin you're still on about that alien. Has no one told you that it was actually DJ."

"What?!" Alvin exclaimed, he then faced the maroon chipmunk, "Is this true?"

DJ cringed, "Yeah, I didn't think it would scare you so badly"

"Nah, I get it" Alvin said, "You were just giving the confidence I needed. Though… How did the weird robot sound?"

"Oh um…" DJ sweated a bit. Suddenly, loud thunder shook the Bowl.

"Oh, that must be that nasty storm" Dave remarked, "Alright kids, let's return home before things get bad."

"Oh Dave" DJ stammered about that um…" He knew that the time had come, "I ah...I have to return to my home now… in Canada"

"What?" Alvin muttered, "You mean today is your last day?"

"Yep, I did say I would stay for a week" DJ answered.

"But DJ" Dave rebutted, "It's going to storm any minute, and it's dark. It's probably not a good idea to head back now."

"But I have to!" DJ exclaimed, "I-ah promised my mom I would be back tomorrow. Don't worry about me, I know a good tree I can stay in outside the city."

"Oh man" Alvin sighed, "Well, I guess we'll see you at thanksgiving. It was so nice to meet you cuz. Hope to see you soon"

DJ shook his head, he couldn't keep lying about that anymore. "Um actually guys… I've been lying to you. I'm not your cousin, I'm just a look alike…" They all then gasped, "I'm sorry for deceiving you, but if it means anything, I still see you as my family. So um, don't ask your mom about me because she doesn't know"

"It's fine, DJ" Brittany smiled, "Even if you lied to us, you were still a good friend. I'll sure miss you. Will we ever see you again?"

DJ smiled back, "I guarantee it." He then began to walk away. He looked over to Theodore and Eleanor, who looked a little sad that he was leaving, so he decided to walk over to them. "Good job, you two" DJ smiled, "I can say for certain that you will have your big happy family."

"Bye, Th.. DJ" Theodore muttered, Eleanor also waved. DJ then started to head out again.

"Wait!" Alvin shouted, "Before you go, I must know, what does DJ stand for?!"

"Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing" Brittany added.

"Oh" DJ uttered, a little surprised he got the question, "It stands for.. David Jonathan" He then immediately closed his mouth, realizing he shouldn't have said that.

"Hey, that's my name!" Dave exclaimed.

"Yeah, that's a real coincidence" Brittany said.

"Man to think this entire time I could've made jokes about DJ and Dave being the same person" Alvin remarked, "Hey, that actually gives me an idea. Hey Dave, if me and Britt have a son, could we name it after you?"

Dave seemed quite surprised to hear this, "Wow Alvin, you would really do that? I mean I always imagined you would name your kid after yourself."

"Well Dave" Alvin answered as they began to walk away, "It's really because I could yell 'Dave' at him. It would be like getting back at you."

"Alvin, come on" Brittany rolled her eyes, "Our child shouldn't be some weird revenge dummy for you. Plus, if anything, I would want to have a daughter. "

"What, but I want a son!" Alvin whined.

"Oh calm down you too" Dave interjected, "Who knows, you might end up with both."

DJ smiled as he watched his family walk away. He saw his mom peck his dad on the cheek before disappearing around the corner. "See you in 15 years" DJ thought.

"Oh DJ!" the maroon chipmunk turned around to see Ms. Miller ran over to him, "You almost forgot your lumberjack shirt."

"Oh thanks" DJ nodded.

"Well I guess this is goodbye" Ms. Miller smiled somberly "You were a nice boy, DJ. I hope I get to see you again."

The headphone wearing teen then flinched. He took another look at the woman, the woman who will be dead by his time. He realized, this was his last moments with her. So DJ gave the old woman a hug, which both confused and heart warmed her. "I'm so glad I got to meet you Ms. Miller" DJ said in a bit of a sad tone, "I'll never forget you"

The old woman smiled, "Thank you, sweetheart. It was nice to meet you two"

Then suddenly the thunder got louder, so DJ released himself. He took one last look at his grandmother before waving and heading out the door. He could hear the thunder coming closer. He just completed the first part of his journey, now all there's left is get himself back. Back to the year 2020.

There you have it, Alvin and Brittany got together, Ian's in jail, and Dave even got to show off his new song. Well it's not actually new in the real world sense. To those who don't know, Eye to Eye or I2I, is a song from A Goofy Movie. This entire chapter was also based on the climax of A Goofy Movie as well. The reason I chose this song to be the big number is that after first watching the movie about a year ago, the song has been stuck in my head. There hasn't been a day that goes by without me listening to it, so I guess that makes it my favorite song. So now's the moment you all have been waiting for. It is now time for DJ to go BACK TO THE FUTURE!
