Summer Fun
Ch. 2
"A Surprise for the Girls"
Back at Miss Miller's house Brittany and her sisters saw a commercial about one of their favorite bands were playing tomorrow night. Brittany heard a knock on the door and answered. There stood Janet and her sisters.
"Britt great news our mom was able to score us great seats for the New Kids on the Block concert and backstage passes. For one night we will be up close to those five great looking boys from Boston. We are so lucky too bad you don't have the money like our mom. "
Brittany sighed.
"Sorry we can't hope you all have fun though. Take plenty of pictures we have rehearsals all week for our big tour in two weeks."
Janet looked.
"You are celebrities you should have no problem getting the tickets. Don't you all know them in person?"
Jeanette seen how upset Brittany was and stepped in.
"Just because we are celebrities doesn't mean we know them in person. You girls enjoy the concert bye now."
After Jeanette closed the door Alvin was finishing up his paper route and overheard them gloating and seen how upset Brittany was. He wasn't paying attention and crashed into a tree with his bike. Janet ran over to help him up and he glared at her.
"I am fine and don't need any help. "
He gets back on his bike and heads home where Dave is in his garden. He taps him and makes Dave hit his head. Dave rubs his head.
"Ouch, what is it Alvin? Why are you interrupting me while I am in the garden? Are you done with your paper route?"
Alvin sighs.
"Yes Dave I am finished, but wish there was something I can do for Britt and her sisters."
Dave stood up and asked.
"What do you mean by that? Alvin what is on your mind?"
Alvin puts his bike in the garage and began.
"While I was on my way home from my paper route I overhead Janet and her sisters gloating to the girls about their concert tickets and backstage passes to The New Kids Concert this weekend. I know how much they love them, and want to get the tickets for them. I just don't know how to. They are one celebrity we don't know personally Dave. What can I do?"
Simon overheard and responded.
"Well maybe the three of us can put our money together if you didn't spend it all yourself brother dear. Then just maybe we can get the tickets for them, but if you did spend all your money we can't help the girls. How much do you have Alvin?"
Alvin looked in his wallet and counted all his money that he was saving for his new skateboard and looked at Simon.
"I have about eighty-dollars saved unless Dave will give me my money early for my paper route. Each ticket is about forty. But her friends have backstage passes and to get those it will cost a lot more."
Dave came in.
"You boys go upstairs put your money together and I will see what I can do. Go on boys let me see what I can do."
In the meantime in their room the girls were listening to their New Kids tape and sigh. Then they look at each other.
"Wish we could go to that concert. Too bad we don't know them personally, yay after the concert they will shove the pictures in our faces and make us feel really bad. Some best friends they are."
Back at the Seville house Alvin paces back and forth in his room shaking his head. Simon and Theodore looked at their older brother.
"Alvin if anyone can figure something out it will be Dave. We just have to be patient and wait. Let's hope he can do something or the girls will be upset. They are the only famous people we don't really know."
Dave came in their room.
"Boys I think I have a solution. I just got off the phone with their manager Dave took a deep breath saying.
"We have no way to do it but I got backstage passes and Joey will have a surprise for her during the concert, I'm going to the studio to pick them up. You boys want to come with me?"
Alvin and his brothers ran after Dave as they got in the car and drove to Maurice Starr Entertainment. They took the elevator to the 13th floor and were met by the youngest member Joey. He looked down at the boys and smiled.
"Well come inside the other guys are rehearsing for the upcoming concert. So you three are The Chipmunks? I think I speak for all of us when I say we all are inspired by you three. Anyone want a drink?"
Alvin looked around the office and smiled saying.
"Yes I would like a root beer. We appreciate this a lot Joe. See our girlfriends' best friends were shoving their backstage passes in their faces and I was passing by when I saw how upset Brittany was. "
Joe looked at him.
"By any chance do you know their names? Oh by the way you and your girlfriends can party with us at the after party? Brittany is the one always in pink right?"
Alvin sipped his root beer and nodded.
"Yes she is the lead singer of the Chipettes. Their names are Janet, Beth and Elsa. They are supposedly her and her sisters' best friends."
Donnie came out of the recording studio.
"Well then Alvin let's surprise them in the middle of the concert. The only difference is that they won't be at the after party like you and your girls. We're just about done rehearsing for the concert. We'll all get a bite to eat after we give you the backstage passes, front row seats, and after party wristbands. How's that sound?"
Alvin smiled.
"Sounds great, won't they be surprised tomorrow night?"
Simon sipped his coke and smiled nodding also.
"That will be a shock to those three. Theodore are you paying attention or busy stuffing your face like usual?"
Theodore looked up from his donut and smiled after he swallowed.
"Yes I am paying attention Simon, didn't want to talk with my mouth full. I just can't wait to see the girls' faces when we get to the theatre. "
After Donnie handed Alvin what he promised they all left in the New Kids' limo and went to get a bite to eat. After lunch they headed back to the house and Alvin hid everything in his drawer because the girls were due to come by later today. Simon looked at Alvin and asked.
"Is it necessary to blindfold the girls tomorrow night Alvin? Exactly what are we supposed to tell them when they ask where we are going well big brother?"
Alvin sighed and looked at his brother.
"It's a surprise Simon, they aren't supposed to know about it. Will you please just trust me on this Brainiac?"
Simon sighed with his arms crossed.
"Every time I trust you we all get in trouble big brother! I can go down the list of how many times we trusted you and got grounded!"
Alvin glared at him.
"Well if my younger brother would stop trying to be the oldest then just maybe we won't get in trouble Simon! Remember I am born five minutes before you McBorington! Now enough!"
Theodore got mad and threw pillows at both of his brothers. Then they all had a pillow fight and laughed when he and Alvin got Simon unexpected! Dave entered and said.
"Come on boys the girls are here. Alvin make sure you remember where you hid the surprise for the girls."
Alvin nodded and responded.
"Yes Dave I know. We'll be down in a couple of minutes."
He looked at both his brothers.
"Not a word to the girls. It is a surprise remember you two. I'll pound you both if either of you tell them about tomorrow kabish!"
They both gulped and nodded their heads. Then all three brothers headed downstairs. There the girls were watching TV and the same commercial came on.
"Don't miss out on the sold out New Kids on the Block Magic Summer Tour!"
Brittany sighed.
"See girls we are too late to get the tickets for tomorrow and we had the money too. Yay Saturday afternoon they will come and shove their pictures in our faces! Life as rock stars stinks sometimes."
Alvin and his brothers held the girls and held them close.
"It will be okay ladies. Maybe next time they perform you can all go. But you three have us in your arms a dream that our fans will never, make a reality!"
Brittany looked up at Alvin as he wiped her tears.
"But Janet and her sisters are going tomorrow night! They are going to take a million pictures and shove it in our faces! We can't face them after that. Life is so cruel."
Alvin held her close and smiled.
"You have talent babe. That is something they can't take from you three. We have reservations at your favorite Italian restaurant ladies."
The girls smiled as they took their waists as they got in Dave's car. The night went by and they all laughed forgetting about the concert they couldn't attend tomorrow night. After their date the boys walked the girls to the door and kissed them goodnight. Then they went straight home and headed to bed after Alvin checked one more time in the place he put the surprise for the girls for tomorrow night.
At the Chipettes house Brittany and her sisters were watching TV until it was nearly bed time and fell asleep listening to the "Hangin' Tough" tape still upset they couldn't go tomorrow night.
