Chapter 2: A Special Surprise

The family had arrived home after a long night, everyone but Alvin was completely bushed and couldn't wait to hit the sack. The first thing that Dave usually did when arriving home was check their answering machine for messages, and to his surprise there was a number on it that he hadn't heard from in a long time which he smiled at. Dave with that picks up the phone and dailed the number that was flashing and waited for the ring tone.

Meanwhile, Alvin was putting on his pajamas as he walked over to Theodore who was doing the same as he tapped him on the shoulder. Theodore then turned around grinning until he realized who it was.

"Oh Alvin, I-I thought you were Eleanor." Theodore told him with sort of a dissapointed tone in his voice. Alvin though understood went on.

"Look Theo" Alvin started. "I'm uh...I'm sorry about how I acted tonight. I know it's not your fault. I just wasn't thinking."

Alvin finished in his apology which made Theodore feel better. He wasn't exactly expecting an apology from his brother seeing it wasn't his "style". Theodore was an easily forgiving chipmunk and was more than willing to forget about what happened.

"It's okay Alvin...I'm sorry about how I acted too." Theodore himself was ashamed with how he acted as well, it was a side that hardly anybody saw from him.

"Oh, no problem. You had every right to be upset at me. Well...we better get some sleep. Sleep tight buddy." With that Alvin gently shook Theodore's shoulders who smiles back at him as Alvin skips over to the others who were watching on while Theodore finishes geting ready for bed.

"Good night Alvin." Theodore said.

Britney was first to make light of the chat. "Well that was surprising, did you lose a bet or something Alvin?" She joked around.

"Actually, far from it." Alvin boosted. "You own 2 bucks Simon." He continued.

Simon sighed and rolled his eyes as he handed Alvin two bucks who kissed them on delivery. "Here." Britney and Jeanette look on in utter confusion.

"What's that all about?" Jeanette questioned looking back and forth between the two of them. Alvin was more than happy to explain.

"Well, Simon bet me a dollar that I wouldn't apoligize to Theodore, and then I bet him a dollar that Theodore would forgive me if I did. Well double winner! Double Loser!" Alvin said pointing to Simon mentioning a loser. Their two counterparts couldn't believe what they had heard. But they weren't the only ones who heard it either.

"You two should be ashamed of yourselves." As they all snapped their heads to see Eleanor who's walking by with her night gown on. She of course was still upset with Alvin after eariler, to her this was icing on the cake.

"You two are better than that! Especially you." She said pointing to Simon which put him on the spot being the responsible one, she would have never expected that from him. "Lucky for you two, I won't tell him. Good night Britney, good night Jeanette."

"Good night Eleanor." Jeanette and Britney said as Britney turned to her sister. "Come on Jeanette, let those two to go gamble on their brother more." Britney said with disgust as she walked off flipping her hair. Jeanette is about to walk off but then turns back to them with disappointment.

"You know, Theodore really cares about you two...it's a shame you don't seem to show it back." With that Jeanette walked off to her sisters who are laughing away on Eleanor's bed as Theodore is swinging her in his hands until he is so dizzy he falls down. As all four of them laugh away as Theodore and Eleanor are laughing laying down, Simon and Alvin look over at each other completely embarrassed with themselves. Saying that they didn't care for their brother really hit hard, but there was nothing they could say to them that could prove at that moment it wasn't an inacurate statement. What happened to their relationship with their younger brother?

"Simon..." Alvin said to his brother as he held out the two bucks for Simon to take back as he realized it just didn't feel right. Simon admired the gesture and willingly took the money back as they continued to look over.

"It's funny isn't it?" Simon started off as Alvin glanced over at him still looking over at occasion. "Out of the three of us, Theodore's the one growing up and we're the ones still acting like kids."

The two would have a long night to sleep over those words as they realized just how far they have grown apart.

The next morning the crew woke up to what they thought would be a regular Saturday in the summer, but when they woke up, Dave was busy getting some things set up which got the attention of Alvin.

"Uh, Dave..." Alvin stopped halfway through his sentence as Dave glanced back.

"Oh, morning fellas. I didn't think you'd be up so soon." Dave said with pure honesty, not that he didn't have any reason to think that. On Saturdays they would usually make an attempt to sleep in as long as possible.

"So where's breakfast?" Alvin asked.

"Yeah, I'm starving." Theodore joined in.

"Actually I got a bit of a surprise you guys." Dave said as he put down the bags he was packing.

"Does it involve food? And me eating it?" Theodore asked. Dave couldn't help but chuckle under his breath at Theodore's admiration for food. But Dave continued.

"Last night I called someone who I hadn't talked to in a while. But they had heard so much about you guys and wanted to know if we could go visit them for today."

"Cool!" All of them said, except for Alvin who gave a sarcastic "Great."

"Who are they?" Simon asked not being able to wait.

"... They're my mom and dad." Dave said with joy to them which actually perked up their spirits. They had never met Dave's parents and wondered what they would be like.

"But...how come you haven't seen them in so long?" Jeanette curiously wondered.

"Well, we don't exactly live close by anymore, I moved to L.A. when I decided to become a song writer. My dad thought I was crazy, but I'd been wanting to see them for a long time, but...let's just say I had a family of my own to look after. But since we have a little more free time before the final show, I thought it would be good for you guys to see them. What do you guys say?" Dave stated. "Ready for a road trip?"

All of them look at each other until...

"SHOTGUN!" They all screamed at the same time. Having all said it at the same time, the crew started going through ways to decide the winner.

"Let's rock, paper, scissors!" Alvin said.

All six of them then start finding who was the winner, but it seemed two each always picked a different one and then the chaos ensues about who beats who.

"I'll be in the car." Dave smiled walking off wanting no part of the insanity that would soon ensue.

"Paper beats rock Simon." Alvin bragged.

"But I had scissors Alvin. I beat you." Britney said at nearly the same time.

"Whatever..." Mocked Alvin back.

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

The group of Sevilles were packed in Dave's very small car which he still had all this time, Britney was in the front seat clearly showing her victory in six head Rock, Paper, Scissors. In the back, the other five were carrying on casual conversations to pass the time until the trios began to notice changes in the sencery.

On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been.
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends.
Insisting that the world keep turning our way

Less and less buildings were around and more open fields were becoming the norm. The car had been on the road for hours as the five in the back were asleep which from left to right was Jeanette, Simon, Theodore, Eleanor, and Alvin. While four of the five were sleeping quietly, Theodore's snoring would cause Simon's hand to close his mouth, but over time his hand would fall, but when the snoring became heard again, then Eleanor on the opposite side woud stick her hand in his mouth again stopping the snoring, as the two would go back and forth for the majority of the ride.

And our way
is on the road again.
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is makin' music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again.

After a long ride the small Seville car drove up a driveway past a grove of grape vines and at the end of the driveway was a two story white house with a porch that had looked to have seen it's better days. Everyone got out of the car and looked upon the house and barn that stood behind it.

On the road again

"Wow!" they all said. Some of course for different reasons.

"People actually leave in there?" Britney blurted out.

"Looks like the house from the Grapes of Wrath." Alvin continued on as Dave walked up behind them.

"Watch it. You're a bunch of chipmunks, and my dad's a hunter." Dave quickly responded which sent a chill up all their spines. Within a few seconds, a woman with long. blondish hair opened the front screen door to the amazement of who she saw.

"David?" The woman called out, Dave then turned around to see the person who called out his name.

"Mom!" Dave replied back as she runs down and hugs her which puts a smile on all their faces as most of themed awed the moment.

"Oh it's so good to see you again." She says pinching his cheeks which make some of the kids giggle, but Dave doesn't seem to care. "Dave! Look who's here?"

"Dave?" All the chipmunks called out. The screen door opens again and a man with grayish hair walks out.

"Junior! Welcome home!" He calls out. Coming down the stairs.

"Junior?" Simon questioned.

"Junior?" Theodore quickly repeated.

"Junior." Alvin then says sounding like Sean Connery.

"Good to see you too." Dave says as the two embrace.

"So where are the kids?" Dave's dad asks not having any idea what he's in for.

"Hi!" Theodore calls out as dad looks down to see all six of them waving to him which put a confused look on his face as he looks back at his wife and back to his son.

"Davy, you know I was never one for pratical jokes, so please don't tell me you came up here to show us some squerills in clothes?" His dad says with some humor but with a little seriousness to it also.

"Of course not dad." Dave answers back to his dad.

"Oh well that's good." Dave Sr. responds back.

"Yeah! We're chipmunks!" Alvin calls out causing Dave Sr. to look down at the red clad munk as Dave's dad started to feel light headed and then fell to the ground fainting on sight as they kids winced on impact. Dave then looked to his mom. Who just clapped her hands.

"So who wants cookies?" She asks.

"WE DO!" All the kids called out.

There's Chapter 2. Chapter 3 Coming soon...
