A/N: Ok so here's the next chapter and I hope some readers are reading my notes cause I still haven't thought of a nickname or alias for Simon. I want to say that this story thing is still my first time and I'm kind of nervous about what people think. So I would like some suggestions on Simon's nickname because I suck at names.

Disclaimer: ok so I'm still a little confused on what a disclaimer is but I would like to say I do not and I repeat NOT own Alvin and the chipmunks or its characters I do however take ownership of the creation of Simon's friend Rob and the rest of the band he is currently with.

Chapter 5: the date

Simon had just arrived at the chipette household. Looking like he normally would as Simon the chipmunk. As he knocked on the door he could not help but think about his friend Rob. 'I really need to do something for him and his sad memory' he thought. Simon was just in front of the front door.

He didn't know how long he was on the front porch because of the thought of his best friends depression. It had been another 5 minutes until he came to and knocked on the door. As the door opened he saw his favorite chipette in front of him.

Jeanette looked at Simon like she had just found her long lost friend. She saw Simon in her favorite blue jacket uniform which filled her up with glee that she knew he would never forget what it was like in the chipmunks and with the chipettes

"So. Ready to go" Simon said with a huge smile on his face

"yeah" she said as they both walked away

Simon had been deep in thought during the walk and it had worried the chipette. Before she could ask him what was wrong she saw his face full of thought. The whole time she couldn't keep her eyes off of him.

As they arrived at the park they sat down on a nearby bench. Jeanette was starting to worry about her friend, so she turned to him and asked him.

"Simon? What's wrong your never usually this deep in thought" she asked."well the thing is… you know my friend Rob?" he asked

"yeah?" she said questioningly.

"well I noticed him hardly ever smiling, and if he does it looks more acted out than real." Simon said

"well what happened to him to make him like that?" Jeanette asked.

As he told her the story Jeanette began to see that even though Rob was a nice guy he fell in love and someone had torn out his heart and threw it to the sharks to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner.

"….you want to do something for him?" she asked

"yeah I want to play a song in tribute of him and another song in tribute of love itself.." he paused. Thinking about it he needed an organ player. He wanted someone to help make the songs more meaningful.

"I need your help Jeanette can you be our pianist again?" Simon asked

"sure when will I be of service?" she asked

" in 1 week" he said

"Ok" she said

"thanks Jeanette" he said as he hugged her. "you're the best." he finished.

Jeannette was shocked at the hug, and couldn't hide the blush in her face as she hugged him back. It had been an entire five minutes and neither wanted to pull away as they enjoyed each others comfort. Eventually they pulled away and looked each other in the eyes and couldn't look away. Then Simon spoke up.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" he asked a little lost in her eyes.

"ah… Simon we have known each other for a while and…. Well lately I could not stop thinking of you Simon. I think I'm starting to like you Simon." she said as she looked away a little nervous

"I like you to Jeanette." he said

" what I'm really trying to say Simon is I'm starting to like you as in more than just a friend." she said looking away. She couldn't look Simon in the face because of fear.

"Jeanette" Simon whispered as he cupped her cheek and turned her to face him. He looked her in the eyes and could see tears welling up in her eyes from fear.

"Jeanette.." he whispered softly as he leaned in. it was this that Simon was hoping for up to now. Leaning closer and closer and closer very slowly Jeanette was starting to lose fear and started leaning in as well.

"Jeanette….. I…" he whispered but couldn't get out. He leaned in closer hoping to get the courage to tell her, but he just couldn't

"Simon…" Jeanette whispered as she closed the gap between them.

The kiss was unlike anything Simon had ever felt. He was lost in her the entire time, feeling her taste. The woman he loved was right there and she had just kissed him.

Jeanette could do no more but just kiss him as if her life depended on it. She had wanted to tell Simon how she felt and she just figured out now that he loves her back.

Eventually the kiss stopped and they broke apart for air.

"I love you Jeanette" Simon finally said

"I love you too Simon" Jeanette replied as they both pulled one another into a loving embrace.

It had been an hour before they finally let go and started walking back to Jeanette's house. As they got to her door step Jeanette turned to Simon. Neither knew what to say until Simon spoke up.

" Jeanette you want to go out sometime tomorrow?" Simon asked nervously.

"sure thing Simon. Pick me up at 4 ok?" she said.

"ok well I better get going unlike Alvin I actually try to show up for practice on time for the band." he said

"ok" she said as she gave him one final kiss goodbye. Before she could put the key in the door she saw her sisters open the door looking a bit surprised.

"Simon!" they both screamed in unison.

"hey how's it going girls its been a while." Simon said

"you know Alvin's been worried and looking for you?" Brittany asked

"yeah I know" Simon said bored.

"Simon we need you back on the chipmunks things have gotten bad for the chipmunks since you left." Brittany said

"Actually things have gotten better since Alvin can finally be on the spotlight that he doesn't want to share. I've been doing great for myself so far and I am not going to stop now. Besides none of the fans, I'm sure, have even noticed that I left every time I come out stage the only thing I hear is 'ALVIN, ALIVIN, ALVIN!" Simon said. " you know to tell you the truth he always basked in HIS glory and never stuck us out to show that we are also important." he said.

"Until Alvin admits that he needs me and Theodore Live on a television interview then I might come back." he said as he turned to leave.

"how could you walk out on your own brother like that Simon what has Alvin ever done to deserve this treatment." Eleanor said

" The list is long Ellie, and as for walking out…" he said as he turned to look at her "… it was to teach Alvin the lesson that he is not el jefe de la banda. Watch some old interviews and you'll see he only sticks himself out to the world while we try to follow close behind. He needs to learn that I don't like to be a sidekick or treated like an unimportant piece of trash." Simon said with little emotion.

"when you see Alvin tell him what I just told you… and if he wants to make amends tell him my demands I've got a new life now and I don't have to wait for him to apologize. we're family so I will wait, I have nothing against you girls even though Brittany you have the same selfish glee as Alvin just not that high res… see sometime later girl. We still on for that date Jeanette." he said happily.

"of course, remember 4." Jeanette said.

"ok remember the tribute you promised." he said as he left.

Unknown to Simon someone was watching tearfully through a bedroom window across the street. With tears in his eyes he wished he could apologize to his brother right now. But he was already gone.

'what have I done' he thought. Recalling a previous interview.

Flashback

Alvin was talking in an interview and a question popped up that he thought he wouldn't have to answer.

"Alvin you know much of your popularity has decreased because of Simons departure what do you have to say to that."

"Simon gets mad at me many times but I know for sure he will come back he wont abandon us on our next concert." he said as he saw a huge crowd with signs saying 'where's Simon' all around

" when will be your next concert." the lady asked

"in 6 months that is enough time for Simon to get over it." he tried assure mostly himself. What he did know but didn't want to admit was that he really screwed the pooch this time.

"Alvin there is another secret band that just started and is now almost one of the most famous what do you have to say to that?" she asked

"I don't know but I might check out this new band see what they are like." he said.

End Flashback

Alvin will go see their concert that is in 2 weeks. Hoping to find a way to remove competition.

"Simon where did you go."

A/N: wow this was a long one. I did get one question about Alvin's popularity and I would like to say that no he didn't lose it all just a third of it. Also I would like to ask again for nicknames for Simon what would his punk rock name be? Please, Please, Please send me some ideas. This chapter mostly focused on a simonette moment I will add more to it on the next chapter hopefully people are actually reading this thing. Questions, Comments, and Concerns feel free to ask I will be happy to answer.
