Chapter 9 coming right up, it seem that things are starting to heat up. What is going to happen next? As always, everything I've written belongs to their respective owners. Here is Chapter 9.

Chapter 9: Conference and Conflicts

While Ian was off taking care of personal matters for Theodore's commitments, Theodore was able to join his friends for the interviews which made things go easier for the majority of them. It was a constant of camera flashing and media wanting their questions asked. Dave would point to a certain person and they proceed.

One reporter stepped up onto the podium. "How have the chipmunks themselves taken the news of a final show?"

"It was a bit rocky at first, but they seem to have taken it well." Dave answered as Alvin looked up at him. Deep down he knew Dave should say it, but Alvin was still far from thrilled about. The look he had on his face seem to get a reporter's attention. "Is that true Alvin?" Dave snapped down at Alvin almost mentally telling him to just say "yes", regardless of what he felt.

"Uh...yes, that is true." Alvin responded to the reporter. All of them all did a sigh of relief as they all feared Alvin may blow his mind with the media watching. The last thing they wanted was bad publicity before their last show.

A female reporter then stepped up and seemed to be very excited to ask her series of questions. "Yes good morning, my question is for Theodore, word has gone around quickly on the major contract you signed..." The reported continued as Theodore looked back and forth to friends and Dave with an uneasy half smile as Alvin would give him a bit of fist nudge as if trying to tell him to relax a little. "How has your life changed these first couple days?" She finished.

Theodore first looked up at Dave if he was allowed to answer the question and Dave looked to him and gave a head gesture in the reporter's direction telling him that it was okay to answer. Theodore smiled and leaned to the mike.

"Oh it's been crazy. But, I'm really happy to be back home." Theodore said with a smile which put a smile on the rest of them. This clearly wasn't having any effect on him. He was the same Theodore, the same Theodore they all cared for, and they were all very happy.

After a couple hours, the conference was over. The Sevilles had just gotten done the big interview leading into the final concert coming in three weeks time and some of the kids to say the least, were bored out of their minds.

"Boy...interviews are boring, they don't let you have any fun." Alvin moaned in a complete drone like voice. Dave was starting to get annoyed as Alvin was beggining to act a bit pouty for an hour now.

"Well get used to them, we're going to have a lot more at this rate." Dave said back to him in a semi-serious tone, which made Alvin give a loud groan.

"Alvin, if we didn't do these conferences, no one would know when our last show is." Simon condoned him putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Simon...we have millions of fans, I'm sure they would know when our "last" show is." Alvin pointed out in a fairly snobby voice.

"Will you guys cut it out, not now." Dave scolded. "Just stay here and get along while I get everything packed up."

Dave grabbed his keys as they were about to call it a day and head home. Alvin may have come off snobby, but in a way he was right. But at the same time in Dave's mind, any press was good press.

"No problem Dave, you can trust me." Alvin called out as Dave was almost out of sight.

"HA! Joke of the Year!" Brittney laughed out which Alvin slightly looked over at her.

"I'll have you know that..." Alvin stopped. "Hello..."

Just then a very attractive girl with wavy blond hair ran up to the chipmunks with what looked like a rolled up poster in hand.

"Hi my name's Christina. And I just want to say that I'm a huge fan of yours." She called out kneeling down to them.

Alvin then nudged Brittney's shoulder. "Watch the skill and magic of "The Love Doctor", why thank you. We all try our best." Alvin said in a very dramatic voice walking up through the group of them.

"Great, well...I'm kinda embarrassed to say this, to a chipmunk and all." Christina said blushing. Alvin just shook his hands continuingto strut his stuff.

"No shame to be embarrassed at all Christina, fire away." Alvin said with a lot of poise and macho looking as slick as possible.

"Well...can I have your autograph Theodore?" Christina called out as she unfurled her Theodore poster for them to see.

"Absolu..Luu..Loo..Uhh..." Alvin's speech turned into a bunch of garbled, slurred, sounds as what he heard began to sink in as Brittney just looked at him.

"Sure." Theodore responded. Theodore proceeded to nudge Alvin aside who was still in a surled trance as Brittney was standing right next to him trying to contain herself.

"Well "Love Doctor", doesn't look like you have the skill or magic." Brittney mocked at him.

"Ahh...Uhh...Duuhhh." Alvin then fell over to the floor with foot twitching and tounge out as Theodore writes his name as best he can on her photoshopped Theodore picture and finished by drawing out an outline of his paw.

"There you go, I hope it's good enough." Theodore looked up at her with a smile.

"Oh my god, this is so cool. Thanks Theodore." Christina said. The jublilation on her face made Theodore feel so proud of himself as well the others. Christina then kisses him on the top of his head causing him to blush. She then sees Alvin on the floor and isn't sure what to say.

"Uh, is he alright?" She says pointing to him as it looks like a bit of drool is starting to come from his mouth, the others look on.

"He...is just fine." Simon waved it off as a usual scene Alvin would pull.

"Nothing but a sore ego." Jeanette concluded.

"And an empty brain." Brittney added on which brought a chuckle to most of them.

"Look, I have some friends who would love to meet you Theodore, is it all right for them to meet you too?" Christina said with a bunch of enthusium to her as the others were happy to one of their diehard fans.

Theodore looked over to his older brother with a slight smile who returned one back.

"Absoluetly. No problem at all." Simon answered for his brother which put a smile on his face as he looked up to her.

"Great!" She responded as she then turned around to the hallway. "Hey everybody. Look who's here!" Christina screamed.

Just then a crowd of twenty screaming teenage girls came running at the chipmunks at full speed. The others had no choice but to scatter as they were coming at them at break neck speed, Brittney had to pull Alvin out of the way by the hood of his shirt. Theodore was frozen as he didn't know what to do. Simon and the others looked on in horror as a slew of girls were going frantic surronding him as the crowd caught him completely by surprise.

"Theo! Are you okay!" Simon yelled out to his brother.

"Theodore!" Eleanor also.

They just saw a quick glance of him looking a little terrified as there were people everywhere in every direction. Simon knew they had to think fast or else he may get hurt.

"We gotta get him outta there." Simon told them. Simon and Brittney dashed into the crowd to help him as Alvin began to come to next to Jeanette.

"Uh, what's going on?" Alvin mumbled rubbing his head.

"Oh nothing?" Jeanette told him still looking on at the crowd.

"Nothing, those are some adoring fans waiting to see..."

Alvin's sentence was cut off as just then Simon and Brittney popped out of the crowd of girls with Theodore in each hand.

"RUUNNNNN!" Simon bellowed out to the others. The three started running towards Alvin and company as the girls starting running after them.

"Oh boy!" Alvin admitted out loud.

"RUN!" Jeanette repeating what Simon said seconds before.

All the chipmunks ran as fast as they could in a mad-dash as the parade of fans continued to follow in close pursuit.

"Wait Theodore Come Back!" Called out a random fan.

"Sorry! I think I hear a doughnut calling my name!" Theodore looked back saying continuing to run as fast as their little arms and legs could take them. The group turned the corner as they managed to get some distance as Dave began to walk back where they were wondering what was going on.

"I thought I told you guys to stay put?" Dave told them, but they didn't stop to listen.

"RUN!" They all screamed.

Dave looked up and saw the screaming crowd coming and Dave out of instinct grabbed five of them but unable to get Alvin, though he was more than fast enough to manage. Dave managed to get them out of the building in about a minute to his car and shut and locked the door as the group approached. Dave managed to drive off as they attempted to get in.

"Phew! Now I know how Justin Bieber feels!" Theodore whined completely exhausted. The others looked over at him completely tired not even able to answer him. Theodore looked a mess as it looked like some cheek pinchers were on hand and his fur was all ruffled as he was slightly trembling as Simon as trying to dust him off as everyone was completely out of breath.

"What in the world caused that?" Dave asked looking back in the rear view mirror slightly winded himself. Alvin wasted no time giving the answer.

"That would be everybody's favorite little solo artist..." Alvin answered.

"Lil' Wayne?" Theodore gulliably said. They all looked over at him.

"YOU!" The rest of them said. Theodore still had to think about it for a second.

"Oh...that makes sense..." He answered as Alvin just face palmed himself as the rest of them just rolled their eyes. Theodore may have hit it big in the fame department, but it certainly didn't help the gulliableness part.

Dave looked back again to the kids. "Is everybody alright?" The majority nodded their heads, but Theodore gave a slight, "I think so..."

"You think so?" Alvin questioned. "We nearly got ran over because of you...literally!" He called him out pointing at him, it was getting to the point that Alvin's emotions and ego were starting to get the better of him, and at the worst of times.

"Alvin..." Dave said. Alvin didn't listen though.

"I mean...who puts their friends and family in that position..." Alvin continued rambling.

"Alvin!" Dave repeated in a sharper tone, but Alvin still didn't shy away and kept pushing the issue.

"Do you realize what all of this is going to do to us?" Alvin still said over to him.

"ALVIN!" Alvin looked up thinking that Dave had said it, but he didn't. The others looked over at Theodore who screamed out at the top of his lungs still breathing heavy looking ashamed of what happened. Dave looked back at the rear view mirror as Simon gently put a paw on his shoulder to calm him down.

"I-I'm sorry! But wh-what do you want me to do about it?" Theodore asked Alvin with hard feelings and content.

"Well I..." Alvin started.

"Alvin!" Dave cut Alvin off, he had heard enough and didn't want matters getting any worse than what they were. "Just leave him alone...please?"

Alvin jolted back in the seat with his arms crossed as Simon and Eleanor looked at Theodore right arm that looked to have a small bruise on it. Alvin was starting to get irritated with this. Theodore had become a star, yet his family was still treating him like a munk in diapers. Alvin felt Theodore was getting enough attention as it was, and the others wouldn't even hear his side of the story. They may have been right to an extent, but Alvin knew he was right about this. Alvin could just see something was going to go wrong.

There's Chapter 9. Chapter 10 Coming Soon.
