Author Note: If you're wondering why I update so fast, it's because of three things: 1. I type fast. 2. I have nothing better to do then write in my stories, and fan fictions and 3. I love to write, mostly when I get reviews, it really pushes me on! So, I'll shut up now and let you read…

Chapter 2: No Way

Alvin gave Brittany a friendly smile. He wanted to cry out in joy, but he just slowly cleared his throat. His dark brown eyes betrayed him as they shimmered with joy and a great longing.

"Brittany, it's so good to see you!" Alvin exclaimed a smile spread over his face like a blanket over your body.

"Yeah, now you talk to me? After five long dreary years, Alvin," Brittany growled, glaring down at him with her piercing gaze. He let out a long dread filled sigh; Alvin gave her a sympatric look. Brittany stared back, her eyes deep in a strong steady glare. Alvin's heart began to burn with anger, but to his surprise, not toward Brittany, to himself. He had hurt her, he could see that by looking deep into her dreamy eyes…, and he never wanted to hurt her.

"I'm sorry Britt, I feel awful!" Alvin pleaded, his ears dropping down in a saddened expression. Brittany's hardened face softened a bit, but the darkness in her eyes was visible.

"Well, I suppose it was nice seeing you." Brittany huffed, her blood boiling in anger. Alvin clutched his chest to keep his banging heart from breaking his ribs. What have I done? I caused her more pain and grief than I caused myself, he thought to himself coolly, his eyes burning in regret.

"Wait," Alvin said snapping from his trance, "Why did you buy that cake birthday for a friend or something?"

"No," Brittany retorted, her face becoming on with alarm, "it's something else, a different occasion." Alvin's eyebrows began to rise in confusion, his stomach knotting in alarm. The red alarm in his mind went off steadily, his heart beating with a quicker pace.

"You mean…," Alvin trailed off, gasping for air. The world seemed to laugh at him, screaming in his face. No, no, no! This, this isn't happening! This can't be happening, Alvin seemed to chock on his thoughts.

"Yeah Alvin, what did you except me to do? Wait for you to speak to me and then I get married? No, I got engaged. So that's that, got it?" Brittany said again, although her voice began to crack, her eyes began to collect tears in the near corners.

"Who's t-the lucky g-guy..?" Alvin said, half afraid to ask. He felt his bushy tail twitch in nervousness, his eyes wide in concern. How did I let this happen?

"T-the-the-theo-the…," Brittany began to chook out, sweat dampening her silky shining fur that Alvin admired. "The-the-… oh I'll just go on and say it out. I'm marrying Theodore Seville!"

"WHAT?" Alvin screamed, the color draining from his face immediately. He nearly fainted, but caught himself. Stay strong, is all he thought.

"I'm sorry Alvin, love is love, and life is life. Word of the wise, you must move on. You never loved me, never seemed to care, so why do you now?" Brittany asked, rubbing her arms as she averted her gaze to the floor below her. A single crystal clear tear dripped from her eyes onto the floor.

"Don't cry, please don't cry. Of course I cared for you, we were best friends you and I." Alvin whispered into her rounded ear, tucking some of her hair behind her ear and from her eyes so that he may admire them as if they were rare jewels. To him, Brittany was a jewel. She was his diamond, his love, his life. He tried to make sense of his whole life, but nothing did. Ever since five years back, nothing made sense, his life becoming no more than what seemed to be a horribly planned movie.

"Really, I didn't feel like it. You didn't really treat me like you did, all those fights..," Brittany said, leaning on her mini shopping cart with a saddened expression as her mind replayed her life.

"We had go moments Britt, remember? Like, Cakes 'n Sweets was our favorite place to just chill. We made so many fond memories here." Alvin said, lifting her chin making her gaze into his eyes. He saw a flicker of a certain emotion that he had seen before, but just couldn't place it.

Alvin's mind brought him back to when he was twelve, a smirk deep in his face. He ran into this shop as if his life depended on it, and in his mind, it did. That day had been Britt's birthday, and he had to get her a cake! He examined each of them, when his eyes locked on a certain cake that had a bright light shining on it. There it was Brittany's 'future' wedding cake.

He had looked up to see a worker, an old man with a wide nose with a dark black mustache underneath, his face was rough and he had wild dark green eyes.

"How much does this cake cost?" Alvin asked, pulling out a ten dollar bill with exactly seventy cents onto the counter, his eyes gleaming with hope.

"Ten more dollars and you got enough." He replied steadily, and Alvin's face fell. He knew that no one else would lend him that much cash, his face hardened. At this point in time, Brittany had been ill. She was in a hospital bed, wheezing and near death, (of course since she is standing there with Alvin we know she lived) her face was completely pale, and only patches of her auburn fur remained. Her once lively eyes became filled with pain and lifeless, and Alvin was scared. He was afraid this was to be her last birthday, and even though Dave tried to hide it, Alvin could tell he thought so too. "Please sir, I have to give this to my friend Brittany. You see, she has this rare disease and is in the hospital dying, I'm afraid it could be her last Birthday."

The man face softened, giving the young chipmunk a look of pity.

"Here boy, take it with no cost, tell your girlfriend that she should try to live, for a good boyfriend like you, eh?" He said, opening the case. Handing the chipmunk the cake, he smiled. Even though Brittany and Alvin had never dated, he sure loved the sound and idea for it.

"Thanks so much, bless you for your kindness dude." He scampered off, joy in his once gloom filled eyes.

His mind went back to the present day, and Alvin smiled at the memory.

"Alvin, I know what this place used to mean to us but…, ugh. I can't explain it," Then her face brightened, "look, I'm sorry to say Alvin but, all I can say is that you're just… someone I used to know."

"Well then, maybe we can catch up, tonight perhaps at Food from Paradise?" Alvin whispered, "Or McDonalds."

"Well," Brittany said, casting a look down at her freshly painted nails, "what if I'm just falling into your trap again?"

"I'm more mature now. Will, I can admit I'm not too mature, but I'm better."

"Fine, but tomorrow at seven sharp," Brittany replied, giving him the I'm-watching-you sign. Alvin only gave her a smirk and gently waved as she left.

"Now for me to visit Ellie," Alvin said to himself gently, his voice pouring with a deep hope. Maybe, just maybe she can help me win Britt back, and I'll help her get Theo.

Authors Note: Questions to think about: Will Alvin win Brittany over, and will Eleanor get Theo back?

Promises for next chapter: I promise it'll have some humor, if not a lot.

Thanks to: Everyone who supported me with the nice reviews! I sincerely hoped that this chapter was as good as you hoped (since I know that sometimes my stories are good at first and then I make a 'fail' chapter.) Please, REVIEW! Thanks for reading, Chipettegirl4life out!
