What You Don't Know is What I Really Need

Set after the Squeakuel. A new act comes to town under Jett Records. But what happens if when she's supposed to hate the 'munks, she falls for one of them? Can they keep it a secret from Ian? And can her crush make sure Ian will never wish he signed her?

2. Chapter 2: Fast Cars and Freedom

The boys were at rehearsal the next afternoon. Simon had already told Dave about the news last night, and Dave had decided to give Simon the lead for their next single, while Alvin would sing back-up.

Imagine Simon's excitement once that news came around.

Preparing for the recording, Simon and Theodore warmed up. Dave gave a signal that meant that it was showtime.

"Alright, Simon," Dave said through the glass window. "Just do your best. Okay?"

Simon nodded. "Okay."

Alvin played the song's first set of notes. After about fifteen seconds, Simon started to sing:

Mmm-hmmmmm
Ooh, yeah
Mmm-hmm

Starin' at you takin' off your makeup
Wondering why you even put it on
I know you think you do
But baby, you don't need it
Wish that you could see what I see it when it's gone

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
Wait, baby don't move, right there it is
A t-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch
That river was cold, but we gave love a chance
Yeah, yeah for me

You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset river bank first time feeling

Oh-ohh

Dave smiled as Simon continued:

Yeah, smile and shake your head as if you don't believe me
I'll just sit right here and let you take me back
I'm on that gravel road, look at me
On my way to pick you up
You're standing on the front porch
Looking just like that
(Remember that?)

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
Wait, baby don't move, right there it is
A t-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch
That river was cold, but we gave love a chance
Yeah, yeah for me

You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset river bank first time feeling, yeah

Simon began to enjoy himself as he listened to how his voice sounded so well with the song. He smiled back at Dave as he finished:

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder

You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset river bank first time feeling

No, no-oh
You were fast cars and freedom
(Oh!)
That sunset river bank
(Whoa-oh-oh)
That first time feeling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

"That was incredible, Simon!" Theodore shouted as the song had finished.

Simon smiled. He had finally got the attention he wanted for a few days now. "Thanks," he said in reply.

"Come on, fellas," Dave interrupted. "We have to go to that concert to see what you guys are up against."

And with that, the four of them left the house with the Chipettes.
