Summer Fun
Ch. 3
"Surprise Night"
Saturday arrived and Brittany's cell rang, she saw the caller ID and ignored it. Then she got out of bed and entered the kitchen where Miss Miller was making breakfast. Then she set the table and sat down waiting for breakfast.
"Miss Miller is there any way that you can get us tickets for the concert tonight?"
Miss Miller looked at her.
"Sorry dear I tried to get them yesterday, but they were sold out. There are other concerts Brittany. Besides you are weeks away from going on tour with The Chipmunks. It shouldn't be bothering you like it is dear."
Brittany sighed.
"It is bothering me, they are my favorite boy band and Jeanette and Eleanor's also. Our best friends are going and are going to shove it in our faces! It is so unfair that we are celebrities and can't get tickets."
Miss Miller sat down and explained.
"Brittany this is why David and I teach you all how to do chores and earn money. Just because you all are celebrities doesn't mean you can always get what you want. Becoming famous at such a young age kids tend to think they can use their money for anything that they want. We allow you six to live a normal life by going to school, and making friends. We do it because we love you all."
Brittany was still upset but smiled and hugged her stepmother tightly.
"I understand Miss Miller. If Janet or her sisters call we are not home right now?"
Miss Miller nodded.
"Yes dear can you get your sisters breakfast is ready?"
She headed upstairs and got her sisters out of bed. Then they all ate their breakfast and talked about their day with the boys. Jeanette looked and sipped her orange juice.
"Simon said that it would be a great night for all of us tonight but told me it's a surprise. I wonder what they are up to today."
Eleanor looked and smiled.
"Yes Teddy told me the same thing. Britt what did Alvin tell you about tonight?"
She looked up and sighed.
"That it would be a fun night with them, but wouldn't tell me where we are going. What are they up to?"
Her sisters shrugged.
"Whatever it is it's going to be fun Britt. They are trying to keep our minds off the concert and make sure we enjoy ourselves. That is what boyfriends do for their girls. Britt you have to cheer up, don't let Alvin see you like this."
At the Chipmunk house Simon was the first one up and headed downstairs to where Theodore was cooking breakfast. He set the table and then he entered the living room where Dave was working on a few songs for them to do on the tour. Dave looked at Simon.
"The only reason Alvin wants to use the blindfolds is to surprise the girls Simon. As soon as you get backstage you can take them off of the girls. Speaking of Alvin can you get him please Theodore just put breakfast on the table."
Simon headed upstairs to their room and saw their older brother still asleep in bed. Then he walked over to his bed and tapped him gently.
"Alvin get up breakfast is ready its noon. It's on the table getting cold."
Alvin woke up and stretched.
"Okay Simon I am coming. I'll be right down. Did you say anything to Jeanette about tonight?"
Simon shook his head.
"No I just told her they will have fun tonight that's all. Do you think Theo told Eleanor?"
Theodore appeared in the doorway with his arms crossed.
"No I did not say anything to Ellie. I just told her they will enjoy tonight. Now can you two please get downstairs and eat breakfast it is getting cold."
Simon and Alvin headed downstairs and ate their breakfast in silence. Then around two-thirty they all rehearsed for their tour. When rehearsal ended at five-thirty they went for dinner and happened to see Janet and her sisters in their New Kids' t-shirts. Brittany shook her head and continued to eat her food without looking at them at the table across from them. Then she turned to Alvin.
"They think they are all that because they got backstage passes and front row tickets to tonight's concert. Janet tried to call me this morning and shove it in my face more. So if you called Alvin I am sorry that I didn't answer just didn't want to hear her mouth again."
He sipped his root beer.
"No babe I didn't call you, I just woke up at noon anyway. Trust me you will enjoy yourselves tonight I can assure you of that. Come on let's get you three home so you can get ready and we will pick you up at 7. Don't pay attention to them Britt let's go."
They dropped the girls off at Miss Miller's and then headed home to get ready also. They couldn't wait to see the surprised face on the girls when they got back stage. Alvin dialed Joe's number and he answered.
"Okay Alvin listen when you six get to the theater, you meet us in the back where we get ready to hit the stage. During the concert we will bring the girls on stage and sing Please Don't Go Girl to them and since Donnie is Eleanor's favorite he will sing Cover Girl to her okay. See you in a bit one more rehearsal and sound check before show time. Joe out."
Alvin explained the plan to his brothers and they both nodded. After they got ready the limo pulled up to their house and Alvin, Simon, and Theodore got in with Dave. Then they all went to the door to get Brittany and her sisters placing a blindfold on each of their eyes. Brittany was upset.
"Alvin, why is there a blindfold on my eyes. You are going to mess up my hair. Where are we going?"
Alvin responded.
"You'll see when we get there babe. Stop hitting me Brittany I am not going to do anything to you. Brittany!"
She put her nose up.
"Fine then I am not talking to you Alvin Seville if you don't tell me where we are going?"
He looked and responded getting annoyed.
"Is that a promise?"
Simon and Theodore just shook their heads. Finally the limo pulled up and they helped the girls out of the limo. Brittany stepped on Alvin's foot with her heel and he yelled.
"Brittany!"
Simon and Theodore couldn't help but laugh. Alvin put up his fist.
"You two are going to get it I swear!"
Dave glared at him.
"Alvinnn! No fighting your brothers come on before we get stuck in the middle of these crazy fans! I thought your fans were crazy! We are going in through the back."
When they arrived backstage Alvin took off Brittany's blindfold and she crossed her arms. She was about to yell at Alvin when she saw a pair of blue eyes looking at her she froze.
"You're Joey from New Kids on the Block! But how?"
Joe looked.
"Hmm maybe you owe somebody an apology? "
He was pointing at Alvin. She just froze not saying anything realizing she is backstage at the New Kids concert. Then she went by Alvin and kissed him.
"How did you manage? You told us that they were the only celebrities you don't know in person?"
Alvin responded as he grabbed her waist.
"We recently met them the day that you were upset with Janet and her sisters. I was coming back from my paper route when I happen to hear the whole thing. I also crashed into a tree but I am okay."
Joe shook his head and called to them.
"Well then come back here to meet the others. Don't worry Brittany your so called best friend and her sisters don't come back here till after the show. None of them will know you are here."
She took Alvin's hand as they made their way back to where Danny, Donnie, Jordan and Jonathan were just sitting and chatting till they hit the stage. Jeanette and Eleanor hugged Simon and Theodore smiling.
"This is definitely starting out to be enjoyable boys."
Alvin smiled and winked at Joe and Donnie. Then they winked back. The curtain call came and Joe looked at Alvin.
"Go on you six take your seats see you in a bit. Remember Alvin you are in the row in front of Janet and her sisters so they can't see them until the right time. Go on we are hitting the stage!"
Alvin and his brothers took the girls' hands and made their way to their seats. Behind them Brittany could hear Janet talking to her sisters.
"Too bad Brittany and her sisters couldn't be here tonight. We are going to get so many pictures."
The concert went on and Brittany and her sisters were screaming and singing along to all the songs they were performing while Alvin and his brothers also listened and sang along but didn't scream. Finally Brittany's favorite song came up and she stared at Joe as he made his way over to where her and her sisters were as he sang. Then he grabbed all three of their hands and sang "Please Don't Go Girl" to them as they smiled and froze in place. When the song ended they hugged the boys again and rested their heads on their shoulder as they sang "I'll Be Loving You Forever". Janet heard the beat to "Cover Girl" and was so sure that she would be called to go on stage as Donnie sang to her. As he made his way to the edge of the stage he grabbed Eleanor's hand and brought her up on stage and sang to her. Janet's mouth dropped along with her sisters and they were in shock when Donnie brought her back to her seat. The concert ended with their big hit "Hangin' Tough".
Soon after the guys exited the stage Alvin and his brothers took the girls' hands and made their way backstage where Janet and her sisters were.
"How did you manage? You told us that you couldn't make it because you didn't have the money? Best friends do not lie to best friends Brittany you have some explaining to do."
Brittany glared trying to stay cool.
"Oh really and best friends don't gloat about things to their best friends either. Shall I go back to last night you shoving your front row tickets and backstage passes in my face! Well!"
She stormed off along with her sisters. Alvin looked at her.
"That was the best thing to do Britt, you don't need friends like that. Now you know that she probably was using you three because of your stardom being in the Chipettes? That is not all we have in store for you three? There is more."
Brittany looked.
"What do you mean by more?"
Alvin showed her the wristbands to the after party and smiled.
"We get to party with our new friends also. Well after their meet n greet. Let's make ourselves scarce before we all get recognized and trampled."
One of the New Kids' security guards escorted them to the room where the after party was being held and said.
"They will be here soon you just relax in here where you won't get recognized. Don't worry you all will be safe here. "
In the meantime at the meet and greet Janet looked at her sisters while they were in line to get their posters autographed.
"Did Brittany and her sisters just end their friendship with us or was I hearing things? Did you two hear me?"
Beth sighed and glared.
"Yes Janet they did. You had to go and be all big and bad with the backstage passes we had and this is what happened. Our three best friends want nothing to do with us! Just great be prepared to be hated when we go back to school! We might as well transfer to another school?"
After the meet and greet The New Kids made their way to the after party and went by them.
"So did you all enjoy yourselves tonight? With that said let the party start?"
The night went on and they all enjoyed being at the after party. After the party they said goodbye as they got in the limo and headed home. The ride home the girls fell asleep on the boys and were held close by them. Dave put his head back.
"Tonight has been a long day and night. We all need to get home and get some rest. We have another week before the tour kicks off. You all officially know every single celebrity now."
Dave saw how tired the girls were and called Miss Miller who was up waiting for her girls to go home. She gave them permission to spend the night at the boys' house and Dave picked up some night clothes and outfits for tomorrow from her before they headed to the house. When they arrived at the house the boys shook the girls and woke them up. After Alvin used his key him and his brothers went up to their room and got ready for bed. In the spare room Brittany and her sisters got ready for bed and headed to bed. Dave went in both rooms to check on them and then he headed to bed himself after a long week.
