Brittany's P.O.V
How weird is that? Just a few minutes ago, we met three female talking chipmunks. And they have the same names as our daughters. Ally…I wonder where she is now. Hopefully, she is still trying to find her way home.
"Hey Britt, can I ask you something?" I heard my handsome mate, Alvin, ask me.
"Sure Alvin, anything," I replied back to him, hopping over to his bed. He put his arm around me as I laid my head on his comfortable, muscular chest. It feels amazing every time I'm near him. But not as amazing as it would feel to have Ally back home.
"Do you think that Ally girl can be our daughter? She just doesn't remember us?" Alvin asked me, his voice filled with hope. And even I thought she was our daughter when I looked at her. But her fur was wet and her hair was practically covering half her face. I can't be so sure.
"Maybe she is…and maybe she isn't," I told Alvin, yawning in between the sentence. Alvin seemed to notice, because he lift up the cover and covered my body with it.
"Good night, Britt," Alvin said to me, before kissing my forehead.
"Good night, Alvin," I said to Alvin before drifting off to sleep.
Ally's P.O.V
{A few hours later at 9:00 a.m.}
I felt someone poking the side of my stomach, but I just shook it off as I cuddled into the couch more. It was definitely more comfortable then sleeping in a tree. The tree was rough, itchy, and had dirty leaves with slugs all over them. But this couch was different. It was soft, bouncy, and was clean. Well, it was clean until me and my sisters fell asleep on it, with our wet bodies.
"Ally, wake up." I heard someone say to me as I felt another poke in my stomach. Who is waking me up when I am in the middle of sleeping!?
"What!?" I yelled at the person who woke me up. I slapped their face, before I could open my eyes fully to see who it is. I heard the sound of a thud, followed by a small 'oof'! I looked down to the bottom of the couch and saw a bundle of blond fur on the floor.
"Carol!" I exclaimed, realizing who I just slapped in the face. I jumped off the couch and rushed over to Carol, who was clutching her cheek with her two paws.
"I-I'm okay." Carol said, standing up while clutching her cheek with her right paw. I saw a small red mark on her face from where I slapped her.
"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked Carol, grabbing her left arm and helping her back up onto the couch where a snoring Serene was still asleep. Weird, she's usually the first one up. Must be the couch.
"I'm sure, I'm just hungry." Carol said, placing her paws on her stomach. I heard a low rumble from her stomach. I should've known she was hungry. When was she never hungry?
"Let's go and see what food we can find and we'll bring Serene some, too." I said, before jumping off the couch and walking into the room with all the foods {Kitchen} with Carol at my heels.
I sniffed the air and some delicious smell filled the air. It smelled like blueberries with maple syrup. Where is it coming from? Me and Carol jumped onto the high up floor, {When are they going to learn it is a counter?} and saw two of the chipmunks we met yesterday.
"Good morning, girls." The one in the green said to us. She looked like an older version of Carol, but I can't remember her name.
"Morning, uh…um…" I said, trying to remember her name. I hit my head with my fist to see if I can remember her name. It started with an E, right?
"Eleanor, her name is Eleanor, and I am Brittany." The one in the pink said to me, before picking up a round thing {Plate} and handing it to me and Carol. "Are you girls hungry, we made toaster waffles!" Brittany said, pointing to the food on a black round thing, {Pan} with food on it.
"Toaster waffles? And what are these?" Carol asked Brittany, holding the round thing in her hands and turning it around like it was a wheel.
"Plates, you put food on it." Eleanor said, taking the plate out of Carol's hands and putting three toaster waffles on it. She handed the plate back to Carol and smiled.
The way she smiled, reminded me of how Carol smiled. The same toothy grin they both made, made me wonder something. I got a tingly feeling in my stomach, again! But this time it was for food.
"Are you hungry?" Brittany asked me, pointing some square thing with holes {Spatula} at me. For a second, I thought she was going to attack me with it.
"Uh…yeah?" I answered, though it sounded more like a question. Brittany obviously didn't notice, she just took my plate and put three toaster waffles on it, handing it back to me. I looked at the so-called waffles in front of me and wondered, is she trying to poison me?
"Take a bite, it won't hurt, look at your sister." Brittany said, pointing to Carol who had already finished two of her waffles and was starting on the third.
"These are yummy!" Carol exclaimed, before taking a bite out of her last waffle.
I looked at my untouched waffles and picked up the first one in my paw. I took a nibble on it, before taking a huge bite out of it. It was yummy! Where do they get these? Where do they make them?
"I see you girls like the waffles." Eleanor said, before giggling at the end. Just like something Carol would do. But enough about that, now my stomach is starving and I haven't eaten anything in a long time {Twelve hours, but still!}!
"So, did you girls sleep well last night?" Brittany asked us, but it sounded more like she directed it to me. I looked up and my eyes met her sapphire eyes which were looking straight at me. I took a bite out of my waffle, while Carol answered.
"Oh, yes, I dreamt that we found our parents after all these years!" Carol said, jumping up and down like a rabbit. She handed Eleanor her plate, while smiling her toothy smile.
"I don't remember, what I dreamt about, but I still slept really well." I said to Brittany, before biting into my second waffle. The truth is I do remember what I dreamt about. I dreamt I found my parents…they just didn't want me. It was nightmare and I wanted to wake up. But the couch, made it impossible for me.
"Well, okay…" Brittany said, before playing with the end of the thing that covers her behind. She looked at me and probably noticed I was looking at the thing.
"Oh, these are clothes, we wear them to keep us warm." Brittany said to me, before adjusting the thing she was wearing on her arms. "Do you want to try some of my old clothes? They might fit you."
I had just finished my last waffle when she asked me that. Clothes? Will they look good on me? Only one way to find out.
"Sure, I'd love to!" I exclaimed, before handing Eleanor my plate. She smiled at me and went back to washing the plates. I just now noticed that Carol was helping her out. Just like Carol to help out somebody she barely even knows.
"Great, come on, let's go to my room!" Brittany exclaimed, before jumping off this high floor and walking over to the bumpy things {Stairs}. I followed at her heels as she helped me up the stairs and into her room.
The room had three cushiony things, like the couch, just smaller. I saw the other four chipmunks we met yesterday, still fast asleep. Hah! Just like Serene.
"These are my old clothes." Brittany said to me, before pulling out a box from underneath one of the cushiony things {Beds}. Inside were a bunch of pink clothes inside and I couldn't tell which one was which.
"Try this one on!" Brittany said to me, pulling out a bunch of clothes and handing them to me. I looked at them weird, because, how was I supposed to put these on!?
"Oh, let me help you out." Brittany said, before taking something from the pile. She said it was a t-shirt. She helped me put the hot pink t-shirt on and I looked down at it. It felt weird having clothes on.
She took another thing from the pile and said it was a skirt. She helped put the black skirt with tiny hot pink hearts on my lower body, to cover my behind. After that, she picked up another thing and called it a jacket. She helped me put on the black jacket and told me to look in a mirror.
I turned around and looked at someone who looked just like me. Who was this chipmunk? Why does it look like me? Why is it wearing the same clothes as me?
"That's your reflection in the mirror, Ally." Brittany said to me, but I couldn't help but feel tingly in my stomach when she said my name. Could it be, I know her? "You look beautiful."
I did look different. A good different. The clothes looked pretty, but my hair was still a mess from the rain from yesterday. I turned to look at Brittany who was now holding a prickly thing {Brush} in her hand. She smiled at me before gesturing for me to sit down. I did and she took some of my hair in my paw, but didn't pull it off.
"This is a brush, it helps me to brush your tangled hair." Brittany said to me as she began brushing my hair. I winced at least twice, because the brush hurt when it pulled through a tangled knot. Why was Brittany doing this? Did she want to do this? Did she have to do this? Why?
Brittany's P.O.V
Ally seemed like such a nice girl. But you could still see that she felt weird having a stranger do her hair and dress her? Why you ask? Because Ally reminded me so much of my daughter Ally, who was munknapped. Sure she was only a baby at the time, but this Ally acted like her. The same smile, the same way she gets scared whenever Dave comes around. Plus, I feel warm and whole having Ally in front of me. Like this is my daughter that was munknapped three years ago {Three years for a human is fifteen years for a chipmunk}.
"Brittany, how does it feel living in this house?" Ally asked me, looking in the mirror as I did her hair. I brushed her hair one last time, before answering.
"I don't know, I feel safe, that's for sure." I answered Ally before, taking one of my scrunchies and tying her hair into a ponytail, letting a bang, like mine, cover her right eye.
Ally turned to look at me, and when she did, I could see her face clearly. A pink nose, pink lips, auburn fur, etc. She looked just like me, but has hazel brown eyes…like Alvin. Ally, my daughter, had auburn fur and hazel brown eyes just like this Ally.
"Should I feel safe?" Ally asked me, looking into my eyes. I looked into her hazel brown eyes and gave her an answer.
"Do you feel safe?" I asked Ally, a smile appearing on my face. When I smiled, Ally smiled, but her's was more sly. Just like Alvin's.
"I do, I do feel safe, thanks!" Ally exclaimed, before running out the door. When she was gone, I turned and nearly jumped when I saw my mate standing behind me.
"I saw everything." Alvin said to me, before grabbing my paws and pulling me closer to him. "You're treating her like she's our Ally." I could feel the sound of emptiness in his voice when he said that. And for some reason, I feel empty too without that Ally in front of me. But, why?
"I'm treating her that way, because she reminds me of our Ally." I said to Alvin, before walking out of the room and back downstairs into the kitchen.
Serene's P.O.V
I opened my eyes to reveal the light of the sun shining in my eyes. I looked around and noticed that my sisters were missing. Oh no! Did the human, whatever his name was, kidnap them?! He better have not.
"Hey, Serene!" I heard Ally's voice say, before her figure appeared in front of me. But something was different. She was wearing stuff on her bodies.
"Brittany gave me some of her clothes and did my hair, see?" Ally said, before turning around to give me the full effect. "Isn't she sweet?"
I forgot which one was Brittany. Was she the one with pink or the one with the green? But Ally was obviously wearing pink, so I thought it was Brittany.
"You look nice, but what is this?" I asked Ally, tugging at the thing she was wearing on her arms. Ally pulled away and dusted it off as if I made it dirty.
"This is a jacket, and this is a skirt." Ally said, pointing to her jacket then her skirt. I figured the thing on her top must have a name too, so I gestured to her top to say 'and this'?
"And this is a shirt." Ally said, pointing to the top, before jumping off the couch. I followed after her as she walked into the room filled with food. I saw a chipmunk sized round thing {Table} with Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor sitting at it eating something on a smaller round thing.
"Good morning, Serene, are you hungry?" Simon asked me, smiling at me. As if to answer for itself, my stomach grumbled making him laugh.
"Yes?" I said, though it came out more like a question. He handed me a small round thing with food on it.
"Here is some toaster waffles, you'll love it." Simon said to me, before gesturing for me to sit down. I walked closer to the round thing and sat my food on the round thing, before sitting down. But when I tried to pull out something for me to sit down on, I fell on the floor.
"I'm okay!" I said, before standing up and walking over to pick up my food. But when I did, I couldn't find my plate. It was here a minute ago!
"Serene, your plate is right in front of you." Ally said to me. So that's what the round thing is called! But I can't find it anywhere.
"Serene, can you see me, clearly?" Jeanette asked me. I turned around and faced her but all I saw was a big brown blob.
"Uh…no…" I answered her, looking down at my feet. I felt someone grab my hand and pull me away from the delicious aroma of the toaster waffles. The paw let go of me once we reached the couch.
"Here, try these on." Jeanette said to me. She must've pulled me away from my food. Soon I felt something on my face and looked at Jeanette. She looked pretty and clear. She had amethyst eyes, a small pink nose, pink lips, and purple…round things?
"What is that on your face?" I asked Jeanette, pointing to the round things. She pointed to the round things on her face and smiled.
"These are my glasses, they help me see better." Jeanette answered me. "And now you have an extra pair of mine, so can you see better?" I looked all around the room and everything looked clearer. But my eyes fell back on Jeanette.
"They do, thank you." I thanked Jeanette, giving her a smile. She smiled back and she had a pretty smile, almost like diamonds.
"You're very welcome, now come on, let's eat!" Jeanette said to me, before jumping off the couch and running back into the room filled with food.
When we came back, Ally and Carol, were both standing at the table, talking to the others. I heard them mention a squirrel and I knew exactly what they were talking about.
"Serene was drinking water from the pond and then a squirrel came from behind her and scared her!" Carol explained to them. I exhaled, happy that she didn't tell them about what happened next.
"And afterwards, Serene squirted water out from her nose and fell into the pond, me and Carol were laughing!" Ally exclaimed, making everyone laugh even Jeanette. Of course it would be Ally to say something embarrassing about me.
"And here is the queen of embarrassment right now!" Ally exclaimed and bowed before me like I was a queen, making everyone laugh again. I looked at Carol and noticed she was wearing some clothes too. A green t-shirt with the number one in yellow and a yellow skirt. Her hair was pulled back in pigtails with straight bangs, stopping right above her eyebrows.
"Hey, what is that on your face?" Carol asked me, pointing to my glasses. I touched my glasses and smiled.
"Glasses, Jeanette gave them to me." I said to Carol, before walking back over to my untouched food. I took a bite out of my waffle, before noticing Ally holding something purple and blue in her paws.
"Hey, Jeanette wanted you to try these clothes on, do you need help?" Ally asked me. I took them from her hands and looked at them. I shook my head, before walking back to the room with the couch {Living room} and got dressed. {Not going into detail} I went back into the room with food and everyone looked at me. I looked down at myself and noticed I looked better.
I was wearing a light purple t-shirt with a blue vest and a denim skirt. But with everyone looking at me, I didn't know if I looked good or bad. I touched my hair, which I had put into a messy bun on top of my head, and thought if it was the hair.
"You look beautiful, Serene." Jeanette said to me and everyone nodded in agreement. I looked down at my feet before saying a quiet thanks. Everyone was being so nice and they didn't even know us.
"Ally was just telling us about how you girls found an abandoned tree and got into a fight with other wild chipmunks." Alvin said to me, before smiling at Ally. Ally smiled back and it looked like a father-daughter moment. Is he her father?
I heard Brittany start to sing in a low voice, but it did catch Ally's attention:
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
So come on courage,
Teach me to be shy.
Cause its not hard to fall
When you flow like a
Cannonball
"Brittany?" Ally asked Brittany, tapping her shoulder. Brittany looked up at Ally in a questioning way.
"Yes, Ally?" Brittany asked Ally, smiling up at her. Ally started to cry, and I don't know why!
Ally's P.O.V
The song. That song. I heard it before. I know I have. The tingly feeling in my stomach got stronger and I couldn't help but start crying. I felt four arms wrap around me and looked up to see Brittany and Alvin hugging me, comforting me.
"What's wrong, Ally?" Brittany asked me, pushing a strand of hair out my face.
The song, that voice! I have heard it before. This house, I have saw before. These chipmunks, I have met before. Could this be déjà vu? Suddenly, I had a flashback. {Yay! Flashback time!}:
"You want to go find daddy?" Brittany asked Ally, even though she knew she could barely talk. Ally just looked past Brittany's shoulder and started giggling.
"What is it?" Brittany ask Ally, but before she could turn her head she felt paws cover her eyes.
"Guess who it is," Brittany heard a voice she could make out from a mile away.
"Jesse McCartney?"
"No."
"Jason Lee?"
"Do I even sound like that guy?"
"I don't know, but it's probably the best mate in the whole world."
"Correct!" Alvin exclaimed, taking his paws away from Brittany's face and kissing her cheek.
Brittany? Alvin? 'Go find daddy'? Alvin, daddy? Brittany's mate, daddy? I looked up at Brittany and knew that the Brittany in my flashback, is the same Brittany in front of me now. The Brittany…who is my mom.
"Mom?" I asked Brittany, feeling a foreign feeling in my stomach at calling her that. Brittany's mouth dropped open at what I just said.
"A-Ally, do you remember me?" Brittany asked me, her eyes shining with hope and tears.
"Y-Yes, I was a baby, we were outside, dad came and-" Before I could finish, Alvin interrupted me.
"Dad, did you just call me dad?" Alvin asked me, turning me around to face him. I smiled and nodded, tears running down my cheeks.
"Ally! My daughter is back home!" Brittany yelled, before hugging me and rocking me back and forth. Alvin's arms wrapped around me from behind and I knew these were parents. And now that I found them. I am not letting them go.
Serene's P.O.V
I looked at Ally and smiled. She found her real parents, that lived in this house. They did look like a family and now, they are one. After all these years, all it took was one little song and Ally finally found them.
"That's so lovely." I heard Jeanette say. I turned to her and saw she was tearing up. I rushed over to her and hugged her. I felt another pair of arms give her a hug to and looked up to see Simon, comforting his mate. Did they know who my parents were? Did they? I looked into Simon's eyes and a flashback happened {More flashbacks!}:
She's a lot like her mother," Simon said, gazing at Serene. "Beautiful, a little shy-" Before Simon could finish his sentence Jeanette interrupted him.
"A little?" Jeanette asked Simon, looking him in his blue eyes. "Simon, she's scared to look at us. I'm worried she might not like me." Jeanette bowed her head, rubbing her right arm.
"Jeanette, she loves you just as much as I love you and that's a lot," Simon said to Jeanette, putting his arm around her.
Jeanette smiled at her mate before picking Serene up and cradling her in her arms.
"You love me, don't you?" Jeanette asked Serene, her voice filled with hope. Serene said nothing but hugged her mother with her small, baby arms.
'A lot like her mother'? 'You love me, don't you'? Jeanette? Simon? Mother, Jeanette? Parents?
"Mom?" I called to Jeanette, not letting her go from my grip. I need to know the truth.
Jeanette looked down at me, her eyes shocked and filled with tears.
"Did you call me, 'mom'?" Jeanette asked me, pushing Simon away and looking into my eyes. I smiled at her.
"Yes, dad said, 'she's a lot like-" Before I finished Simon walked up to me, and turned me towards him.
"D-Dad, m-me?" Simon asked me, looking into my eyes. Blue beryl…just like his eyes.
"Y-Yes, dad!" I said, crying now. I hugged Simon and Jeanette, all of us having a little group cry.
I can't believe it! I found my parents! My parents found me! I must be the happiest girl in the world. Fourteen years without my parents and finally, I find them.
Carol's P.O.V
Wow, Serene and Ally found their parents, who just so happened to be in this very house. Are my parents somewhere in this house, too? I looked at Theodore and Eleanor who were hugging each other and crying.
"Eleanor, are you okay?" I asked Eleanor, touching her arm. I felt a warm sensation run through my arm as I touched her.
"Y-Yes…" Eleanor said, but I knew she wasn't. I gave her a hug and as I did a flashback ran through my mind {More flashbacks, chipmunk fans!}:
"She is so cute…" Eleanor said, rubbing her palm against Carol's soft blonde cheeks.
"J-Just like y-you," Theodore said, stammering in his sentence. Eleanor thought it was quite cute how Theodore seemed to get nervous around her.
Eleanor laid her head on Theodore's shoulder, humming a lullaby:
I've taken for granted
The seeds that she planted.
She's always behind everything.
A teacher, a seeker, a both arms
Out-reacher. A mother that's
Who I need.
Eleanor looked up to see Theodore drifting off to sleep.
But what made her smile was that Carol was in his arms, already asleep. How cute!
Eleanor? Theodore? Lullaby? Dad? Mom? Eleanor, mom? Theodore, dad? Could it be…?
"Mom?" I asked Eleanor, looking up at her. She looked down at me, her lips trembling and her tears falling down her cheeks.
"Did you just call me-?" I didn't let Eleanor finish. I just hugged her and breathed in her scent.
"Mom, dad, I found you!" I exclaimed, looking up at Theodore, who just chuckled and hugged me and Eleanor. Everyone is happy now. Ally found her parents. Serene found her parents. And I found mine. What can go wrong?
I'm going to start shoutouts to:
