Hmm . . . one review . . . really? I kinda expected some more . . . Seriously, I kinda expected at least five or possibly over . . . If I'm getting a lot of 'hits" on my story, I wouldn't mind having more reviews and hear what you people think . . .

Anyways, since I have one FINAL down and one more to go along with doing a pointless placement test for college, I'll be free for summer! WOOHOO! Which means I'll be able to look over my other story "SHADES OF GRAY" and figure out what to do with it. Oddly enough, I already have a climatic battle in mind, yet I'm FAR from it . . .

I have a little game for anybody who's interested: A hint of when Alvin, Theodore, Brittany and Eleanor will appear together is after we meet my vary own ambiguous named character Lucien Sgro in two chapters (guess which rodent I'm making him and no, he's not going to be a chipmunk) who I picked to play M∙O. Charlene will appear seven chapters after the aforementioned Chipmunks and Chipettes make their first appearance. Happy guessing!

So looking this story over, should I have made Jeanette the titular character WALL•E and Simon EVE? It seems to fit their personalities perfectly with Jeanette being shy like WALL•E and Simon . . . well he has gone through character development from an intelligent yet flat out character that showed no emotions whatsoever, following Alvin regardless what the impulsive chipmunk did in The Alvin Show to still intelligent but possessing a very dry sense of humor as well as a keen wit rounded character in Alvin and the Chipmunks as well as in the movies, much like the character development for EVE is she learns to embrace her "defects" by the end of the film while she had sentience at the beginning, she was forced to keep it hidden because of her directive. Her voice also evolves into something more feminine and emotional when it was originally robotic and distant.

Oh! Before I forget, this will be the last appearance of Pooka but prepare for more crossovers! And once again, I would like to thank trex841 for giving me the link to Television programs featuring anthropomorphic characters!

trex841: Guessing you're a fan of that show on Cartoon Network? Frankly, I'm too scared to ask what it's about 0.0

DISCLAIMER

First founded as Bagdasarian Film Corporation by chipmunks creator Ross Bagdasarian Sr., Ross Bagdassarian Jr. and Janice Karman holds rights to Alvin and the Chipmunks, first cartoon called The Alvin Show, under Bagdasarian Productions.

The character Pooka is a fictional dog in the 1997 American animated film Anastasia, produced and directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman at Fox Animation Studios.


Simon's movements are slow that day. Normally shoveling and compact several cubes in just a minute, Simon's depression makes minutes seem hours as he finishes his first trash cube in ten minutes of lazy scooping. He stops, feeling there is no energy or spirit within him to carry out his duties. Even Pooka sensed his master's unrest.

Simon pulls out one of his Zippo lighters from his front pocket and flicks it on just how Jeanette showed him.

Simon stares at the tiny flame, thinking about her as memories of that evening ran through his mind, the only time he interacted with another anthropomorphic being, a lovely chipette no less. The mere ten minutes he spent with her were the most eventful and happiest in his life compared to nearly two decades of his life of surviving on Earth, he felt truly alive.

He remembers seeing her face, an image of a chipette that could strike so much affection into him to make him feel immeasurable love for her. He remembers her emerald eyes looking at him when speaking for the first time, something he thought he would never get or need to do. He remembers how her warmth felt up close, the finer details of her soft skin made him ache to hold her or at least feel her touch, but as close as he got, it felt like a world apart.

He remembered her laugh, sounding sweeter than the soft tune of "It Only Takes A Moment" and he loved making her laugh as much as he loved Jeanette herself. Then he thought of the moment he tried holding her hand, how he came so close to feeling the warmth of his love run through her and from her to him.

Simon cowered away at the last second, just because he feared Jeanette didn't feel the same to him and would mean certain death if he dared try.

He thinks of the way she is now: cold, lifeless, and unresponsive . . . maybe completely lost.

What if she never wakes up?

The question resounds in his mind. In realization, Simon feels more alone than ever, even though she was there physically, feeling he left without the world, without life, without a reason for a life and without her…

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

An earthquake resounds through the city, snapping Simon back into reality. He can't figure out what's happening until he notices the accelerating wind blew the lighter's flame out. He knew something was out of place. Earthquakes don't cause such strong winds.

A familiar roaring sound echoes from somewhere.

A building collapsing? Is that what causing all this? he wonders.

Pooka barks at the light emerging from the sky. Simon sees it's originating in the same direction of his home, and up in the sky, spotting the light of rocket engines. Jeanette 's ship has returned.

His mind immediately alerted of what that meant.

"NO!" he shoots to his feet.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Simon has never ran fast in his life, even faster when something involves his own safety such as sandstorms, falling towers, floods, or any emergency endangering his life. No, he ran because she was in trouble, almost forgetting Pooka who struggled to keep up. Simon's insides ache from sprinting through few kilometers through a maze of trash dunes and toward home but he forces himself to go on, he must get to her.

His worst fears confirmed as the giant reconnaissance ship Jeanette arrived in lands next to the bridge of his home. He's almost there but the rocket's side opened up a cargo bay, facing his truck and Jeanette is still out there.

"NETTA!"

A twinge of fear came over him as he sees a robotic arm reach out and grabs Jeanette's cryogenic and retracts into the cargo bay. She is leaving, no, being taken away from him.

"NETTA!" he screamed, almost out of breath from running so fast.

Simon will not sit back and lose her forever. He'll be damned if she leaves, being left behind to rot for the rest of his life here. No! She get to her, tell her he loves her and wants to spend a lifetime with her, even if it takes forever to free her or if it takes his own life, he will spend at least another second with her.

Simon eventually figured he knew what to do.

When Pooka caught up to him, only does Simon realize Pooka was with him.

"Whoa!" He stops Pooka in his tracks, shooing him up the ramp of the truck.

"Stay!" he forcefully tells Pooka. The mutt seems to understand as he sits down.

The sound of the ship's engines firing up snaps Simon into a panicked sprint, paying no mind to what he has on him or what he's leaving behind but Jeanette's ship will launch any minute.

He sprints after Jeanette, almost running over the edge of the bridge when he tries grabbing onto Jeanette's pod, which the robotic arm retracted into the ship. Simon realizes there is only one way to get on. He's gonna have to jump a hundred meter drop to the dried up Hudson River to certain death to get in the ship.

The cargo bay doors begins closing, Simon mentally and physically raced against tremendous odds.

Simon has no time to contemplate! He runs to the other edge, boosts boosts his speed with all his energy as he dashes like a maniac and jumps with all his might…

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

…he barely makes it! A twenty-foot leap of faith, Simon lands in the cargo hold as the bay doors seal shut behind him, the locks clicking in place with a hiss sound, the ship pressurized for blast off.

Simon twisted his ankle as he hit the deck hard. He winces at the pain but pushes it to the back of his mind as he tries to find Jeanette.

"NETTA!" he cries out to her.

Simon clamps onto a ladder as he tries steadily climbing to the higher decks, getting to where Jeanette 's pod is stored.

The ship trembles and a deafening roar echoes in Simon's ears as the rocket boosters ignited.

Simon clings tightly to the support ladder for dear life as the ship lifts off.

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh….."

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Back on the ground, Pooka watches the reconnaissance ship blast off, hearing his master scream almost as loud as the rocket engines, even as both fade, leaving the atmosphere.
