A/N: Thanks to all read the last chapter, So far 82 visitors, this month, on pace for the stories' first 300 visitor month, so big thanks to all who make this possible. I can't lie when I say that I really don't know, in my opinion, how to make a good romance sence in a story, so to read the good reviews from the last couple chapters was quite releaving. Had a little Alvittany (If that's what you call it) in the last couple chapters, time for a little Simonette now. This chap is a little shorter, only because I decided to add the beginning of this chapter and put in the end of the last chapter just to lead you into this one, rather than do a whole different scene. So we're picking up right where Simon and Jeanette left off. As always, all rights go to there respective owners. So now without further adu, here is Chapter 16. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 16: No Right or Wrong

Simon and Jeanette turned back to each other to look at each other's gazing eyes to see the sparkle in them. The stars in the sky were glittering in the sky beautifully and the moon shined down on the earth bright which cast the two chipmunks in a gleam of brightness. To Simon and Jeanette, everything was going right. Alvin and Brittany were inside getting their feelings out to one another and enjoying themselves and they wished to do the same also. Suddenly Jeanette caught a glimspe inside and saw what was transpiring in the kitchen as Simon couldn't see it being behind his sight..

"Simon, They don't look very happy though." Jeanette said with worry in her voice.

"How did they mess up?" Simon wondered as he turned around thinking that the two were going at it in typical Alvin-Brittany fashion. But when he realized what Jeanette meant and saw the sorrow in the house, he regretted his words. "I wonder what happened?" He asked as Alvin and Brittany were still embraced in a hug inside.

"They must have started talking about Theodore." Still looking at them, Jeanette responded as she started swinging her feet off the end of the steps. "Poor Alvin, I can't imagine what you two are going through." Simon looked over to her to get clarification.

"What do you mean?" Simon asked puzzled.

"Well, if one of my sisters were gone, I would feel..." Jeanette began but Simon gave his opinion in the middle of her statement.

"Theodore's not gone Jeanette, he's just...away. He'll be back." Simon seemed sure of it, but Jeanette, not so much.

"But he's not acting the same Simon. It's like he's not even himself anymore." Jeanette almost in a plead to Simon. Simon understood her concern, but Simon recalled the night that everything went down and remembered what his younger brother said to all of them. Something that Simon knew he was guilty of.

"Jeanette, Theodore was right about something he said that night. He's not a baby anymore, and we..." Simon paused as Jeanette looked on as Simon hung his head slightly. "...I shouldn't keep treating him like one if he doesn't want me to. We have to let him be who he wants and let him do what he feels is right."

"Even if it's not right?" Jeanette pointed out. It was clear that they both saw different opinions on the matter and it was no secret that although they had been in tough binds before, this one was the hardest for different reasons. Though there were times that Alvin had put them all in a mess, on many occassions, it was still "all" of them. Theodore gone in Jeanette's mind left a hole in the spirit's. But even though he left of his own will, she still felt like he was ripped away from them. Like reaching to save someone and them falling out of reach from doom. Simon didn't see it that way though, though he understood Jeanette's logic, he tried to explain it.

"This is just an hypothisis Jeanette, but I'm almost ninty-nine percent sure that your sisters have done something in the past you didn't think was right. But did you still support them?" Simon explain.

"Of course. They're my family, and ...oh." Jeanette paused. Family...she understood Simon's way thought of it. It wasn't about being right or wrong, that was irrelavent, it was being there for his brother and supporting him through and through. Jeanette never looked at it from that position, after all, Theodore wasn't her brother. She smiled at Simon and held his hand. "You used that logic of yours to show me it was the same thing."

"Oh, I didn't intend to make it that way." Simon said almost thinking Jeanette thought he came off like a snob, but Jeanette quickly made him aware that wasn't the case.

"Oh, uh It's okay." She said waving her hands in denial. "Sometimes I do need that little kick in the britches." She was always hard on herself, even though Simon never wanted her to be, and always made it clear to her to try and not show it.

"Don't say that about yourself Jeanette." Simon told her which she understood his worry of her pestimistic responce. "Look, we need to stick together. Everyone around is either sad or lonely. We need to help each other feel better, even if it means doing things we wouldn't normally do." Simon held her paw and looked to her as a way to see if she agreed which she did and smiled.

"You're right." She sighed as the two looked up at the sky with the full moon shining bright. "The moon looks beautiful tonight." Jeanette awefully spoke aloud.

"Well, I know something that is even more beautiful..." Simon stated looking at her with gleeming bright eyes, she didn't notice though as she was still looking up at the moon in the sky.

"Really what is it?" As she turned and saw Simon looking at her with a smile quickly putting two and two together as she giggled covering her mouth trying to contain herself. "Oh Simon..." She said as Simon extended his hand.

"Come on, let's take a walk." Simon offered as he stood up and extended. Jeanette looked down to his hand and she met it with her own and the two began to walk around the house with the beautiful vegetation around them. It was so peaceful as they looked in all directions seeing the world around them. Their minds were clear as they had forgot about all the problems around them, their minds were on each other.

"Look Simon," Jeanette pointed as an insect began flying around them with it's tail lighting up in the night sky which atracted Jeanette to it as Simon followed close by. "Awe a lightning bug." As she reach out her fingers, making the bug fly around and away from her moving point.

"Actually, it's referred to as a Firefly." Simon corrected her, but she shook her head.

"Well...I call it a Lightning Bug, it sounds nicer than Firefly." She reiterated.

"Well, technically it's called a Firefly. Oh!" Just then the lightning bug or firefly as you will flew right onto Simon's nose which surprised him. He remained motionless as trying not to spook it as Jeanette chuckled at Simon which he soon did also.

"Heh heh." Jeanette giggled some more. "I don't think he likes it either."

"So, you wanna be called a "Lightning Bug" also?" Simon asked the bug on his nose to which almost on cue, the bug's tail lit up several times which got a smile from Simon to see that somehow the insect understood and communicated with him. "Very well then, Lightning Bug it is." It flew off his nose and began to sore in the air as in a nearby bush by the house, several more flew up until there was about eight to ten of them slowly floating in the air flashing their tails as Simon and Jeanette looked on and they unknowingly held each other close as they looked on.

"They're so pretty..." Jeanette said aloud.

"Yes they are." Simon agreed as they continued to watch the display.

While that was going on, Eleanor was staring out the window watching the two of them from their bedroom. It was clearly bittersweet for her. It was wonderful seeing her sisters getting closer to their friends, the ones they had always dreamed of meeting; much less falling for; in Eleanor's mind she thought that day would never come that all four of them would be together with each other. But at the same time, seeing them together made her realize her friend wasn't there, and even more so, all of their siblings knew too, which made them all hesitent to be close while he wasn't there for her. Eleanor quickly realized that if she told them she was off doing something, that they wouldn't think anything of it, but she wondered how long she could keep that up. She noticed that Jeanette looked unsure of her words when Eleanor spoke to them eariler, but Eleanor knew that Simon and Jeanette needed to be together.

While Eleanor gazed out of the window to see them outside with her paws under her chin smiling, taking in the moment. Alvin soon quietly walked into the room to clear his mind himself after what happened eariler and he noticed Eleanor on the window sill, though she didn't notice him. Eleanor gave a sigh as she watched Simon and Jeanette outside soaking in the moment being so happy for them; Alvin didn't know that know, he thought she looked very gloomy and depressed. It made him feel even worse, Alvin knew he was the one that caused all this and after she helped him tonight with Brittany, he knew that he had to find a way to make it up to her. Tomorrow, he decided, that he would do something "special" for her.

But with Alvin though...who knows what that could be.

There is Chapter 16, What is Alvin planning? Find out in next time as Chapter 17 will be out as soon as I possibly can. So stay tuned and thanks for reading and reviewing. :)
