Chapter 33: The Night Before

It had become the eve of the big night and back home, everyone was trying their best to keep their emotions and butterflies in check. Simon and Jeanette had been together all the time and getting closer and closer as the event drew near. And as he had for the past several nights, Alvin was out on the porch's top step looking up at the clear night sky. Simon and Jeanette wondered to each other if they should talk to him, but they decided against it knowing that Alvin just wanted to be alone at night. The sky always looked pretty this time of year and the balmy weather just made it an excuse to take in the views, not that any of them actually bought Alvin using that reason though. Alvin would gaze up at the sky for an hour or two before Dave would call out for the kids to head to bed, but tonight little did Alvin know that someone was walking up to him and put a paw on his shoulder.

"Hey Alvin." The voice said to him which got his attention. The paw was soft and smaller than it would usually be from Simon...or Brittany. He turned to see a Chipette in pigtails who stood over him with a sweet smile on her face with her green eyes nearly glowing in the night sky.

"Oh...hey Eleanor." Alvin politely said to her. He couldn't say that he expected to see her. He wondered what she was doing out here, it wasn't usual that she would come to him to start random conversations, but tonight it was different. Like everyone wanted to have a little moment with each other. Maybe it the reason why Alvin stepped outside; he wasn't one to want to be mushy gushy when people expected him to, that was something he wanted to surprise people with. After a time of aukward silence, Eleanor spoke.

"Do you feel like talking?" Eleanor asked him. He wasn't expecting conversation with anyone, but he felt anything to pass time couldn't hurt.

"Uh...sure." He responded and followed it up slapping the the spot next to him as to invite her to sit down with him. Eleanor gave him a warm smile and did so as she looked up to the sky just as Alvin was.

"Ya know, we haven't talked to each other in a long time." Eleanor told Alvin as they both were looking up gazing at the sky. Which Alvin soon looked to her.

"Last we talked, you were on the verge of puking." Alvin kinda seriously joked about it, but the answer put a glum embarrassed look on her face.

"Yeah, I'm trying to forget about that Alvin." She partly whined to him as if to off topic ask why he brought that up. Alvin realized quickly it offended her, and he should have known better. She still to this day, still had bad images of that fear in her mind. All because of oatmeal...yep...oatmeal. Just the mention still made her slightly queezy.

"Sorry..." Alvin apoligized to her, but she seemed out of it now. But in a different way. When Eleanor was feeling bad, Theodore would be there to cheer her up, but he wasn't there, nor had he been there for some time now. And Alvin could tell Eleanor felt...alone. With that Alvin wrapped his left arm around her and slowly pulled her in to show his comfort and care. It quietly startled her at first, but she soon saw his soothing care come through, and she nessled her head next his side and wrapped her arm around his chest. Alvin felt it was an aukward moment, Alvin and Eleanor were friends, but they seemed to be in his opinion...bonding.

As they were embracing on the steps, Brittany happened to jump on the couch and noticed that Eleanor was outside, but not just that, in an embrace with Alvin. Needless to say it got her attention. She didn't want to overreact at the matter, but she definetly wanted to observe it a bit more. Eleanor had left the front door cracked so it allowed Brittany to quietly peak outside to glance at what they were doing and listened.

"So...ready for it to all come to an end?" Alvin told her as he looked up to the sky still. Eleanor seemed puzzled by what he meant though.

"What come to an end?" Eleanor asked him.

"Ya know...our lives. Everything we've ever done." Alvin moaned to her. It was obvious that Alvin was taken all of this the hardest and all the others could notice it. However, none of them were sure if Theodore's stardom was the main reason or not. Eleanor found it funny that Alvin was so stuck in the past and just chuckled.

"Oh Alvin, not everything is about singing..." Eleanor told him which he looked over to her, as Brittany continued to watch them from the door as neither of them noticed her yet. "To me this isn't the end, it's just a new beginning." Eleanor finished her opinion to Alvin.

"Maybe, but the new beginning seems it's gonna stink." Alvin commented to her as he slouched over.

"Well...maybe with our singing careers over, you can focus on something else..." Eleanor stopped and then continued. "Someone else." Alvin's eyes widened when she said and he got slightly uncomfortable.

"What do you mean?" Alvin asked. Eleanor though just looked at her feet pondering how she should ask it which worried Alvin, and Brittany what she would ask. Until...

"Alvin...how do you feel about Brittany? Because she really likes you." Eleanor asked the million dollar question to him, Brittany froze on the question, making sure no sudden movement would let either of them know she was there. Alvin tugged on his collar in embarrassment himself now as Eleanor put a hand around him again. "It's okay Alvin, you can tell me."

Alvin sighed and then answered.

"I was crazy about her the first day we met you girls." Alvin told her. It got Eleanor's attention, and Brittany's attention too. But Alvin followed it up. "But she seems to always resist me."

"Brittany always told me she thought you wanted her to play hard to get." Eleanor claimed to him, which unknowing to them, Brittany quietly nodded to herself knowing that was the case. But the responce seemed to irk Alvin.

"What made her think that?" Alvin responded in kind of an irritated tone, almost as if he couldn't believe all this time, she thought it was some kind of game or something. His responce also sent Brittany back a bit, she had no idea that he took it so personal. He came off in a responce like he thought Brittany didn't really like him or something, but it was far from that.

"Just seems like your style though Alvin." Eleanor said with a smile.

"Or maybe it's her style." Alvin looked over to Eleanor. But when Eleanor looked over to Alvin, she noticed someone in the corner of her eye. It was Brittany and Eleanor spotted her, which embarrassed Brittany, thinking that she knew that she heard the whole conversation. But the sight of Brittany made Eleanor chuckle.

"Oh, I don't think so." Eleanor joked. Alvin understand until he looked over to what she was looking at. There Alvin saw Brittany with what only be described as a half smile, half frown. She gave a tiny wave to Alvin just to let him know she was there, Alvin then smiled and returned it back. With that Eleanor sat up and looked down to Alvin who looked back up to her.

"See Alvin, your life's not coming to an end...it's just beginning." Eleanor told him and walked off, walking past Brittany in the process. Brittany watched her sister walk off until she was out of sight, when Eleanor was gone, Brittany turned back to Alvin who had spun around to her sitting down by the step still.

"Well, is that how you felt Britt?" Alvin asked her, almost knowing now that she heard the conversation.

Brittany was still too embarrassed to answer so just smiled and gave a nod to him.

"Do you wanna talk? Seat's still warm." Alvin said as he patted the spot next to him. Brittany smiled at his gesture.

"I'd love to Alvin." With that she walked over and sat down with him and gazed at all the things around. To them now...life truely was, just beginning.
