Getting to Know You
The Chipmunks and Chipettes story
Part IX
A week ago, we watched as Simon and Jeanette expressed their feelings for each other and also laughed as they were interrupted from their time together by the prying of their siblings. Next, we observed Dave coming home to tell everyone that they were going to guest judge Americas Got Talent and as we faded out for the week, Susan had finally gotten around to developing the pictures of Alvin and Britney in a "compromising" position. What will happen now that the kids have been hard at work for a week building up to their live broadcast in LA? Let's check and see…
Alvin and Britney were in the back of their second to last period on Friday sweating bullets. The room wasn't hot and they weren't nervous about any grades in particular, they were simply anxious to get out of class early and were now waiting on Dave to call the office and all six of the siblings would get to leave early.
"When was he supposed to call?" Britney asked her boyfriend anxiously.
"He should have made the call ten minutes ago." Alvin replied from his seat across the aisle in the back of the small history classroom on the second floor.
"Well he'd better hurry up or we'll get caught in traffic and then we won't get to practice before the show." She bit back, angrier at Dave than she was at Alvin, well the timing and the fact that he had been working the kids all week after school so that she never had a minute alone with Alvin.
As if waiting for them to give up hope, the loudspeaker crackled to life overhead and the tinny voice of the receptionist called for Alvin, Simon, and Theodore Seville as well as Britney, Jeanette, and Eleanor Miller to report to the office.
Britney and Alvin silently cheered as they gathered up their stuff and left the room to head for Los Angeles. As they ran down the hall, eager to get out of the building they were so eager to escape, they looked at each other and smiled at their luck. Meanwhile, on the other side of the campus, Simon and Jeanette were trudging along in a much more somber manner. They would be missing their favorite classes for this little venture. Jeanette was sad that she would be missing her English class and Simon was disappointed that he was missing his Physics class.
When they came to one of the schools numerous intersections their eyes met and they shared a smile in recognition that no matter what they were missing, it did give them more time together. Simon couldn't believe that it had been just less than a week since they started going out and it still seemed like yesterday when he thought about it. Granted, that was probably due mostly to him being unconscious for about two days as he got better.
"Are you excited?" Jeanette as they walked side by side to the office to check out.
Simon stared off into the distance as he considered his words, "I'm not sure excited is the right word," he started, "I'm happy that we get to guest judge, but I'm kind of ticked that we have to miss some of school for it, in fact, the real reason I'm excited to be doing this is that I get to work with you as a judge."
Jeanette smiled. Most people would think that was a really long sentence with no emotion, but she knew Simon and she knew a compliment when he said it. He just needed to learn how to be more direct.
"Simon…" Jeanette continued as they drew closer to the office and their siblings, "What do you suppose we'll see when we're judging?"
"I don't honestly know, but I would imagine some singing, some dancing, and a lot of crazy stunts." He replied as he imagined the set in LA.
By this time, they had reached the main doors to the office and were instantly confronted by the stern gazes of their older, albeit shorter, siblings.
"Took you long enough." Britney said looking behind Jeanette and Simon.
"Well, at least you didn't take as long as Theodore and Ellie. They're still coming up from the field." Alvin chipped in.
"They had gym?" Simon asked, looking confused.
"Of course not, they were skipping their study skills class to go make out in the sports shed, it's their one year anniversary you know." Britney said matter of factly.
"WHAT?!" Jeanette said shocked, she had never known her sister to skip class; she would definitely be having words with her later.
"So if they're down on the field, how were they supposed to hear the announcement?" Simon asked, looking more confused than concerned, he had heard of Theo doing crazier stunts after all.
"I texted them to put their clothes back on and get their asses up here ASAP" Alvin answered, still looking down the hall.
As if on cue, their siblings rounded the corner and headed towards the foursome hastily, a little red in the face and their clothes a little askew from what they had looked like that morning, but otherwise the same as ever.
"Alvin, you are an ass hole you know that?" Eleanor said as soon as she was close enough to blitz him out without getting in trouble.
"Yeah, but I'm the ass hole. You can't have a group without one you know." He retorted grinning wickedly.
"Uh, does anyone know how we're getting to the studio?" Jeanette asked from under Simon's arm which had slipped around her shoulder without anyone noticing.
"Oh, that…" Britney said thinking hard for a second, "How did we all get to school this morning?" she asked the group.
"Well, you two took Alvin's car, Theo and Ellie took his van, and I got here in Jeanette's truck." Simon supplied.
"Well, then I guess those are the groups we get to the studio in." Alvin said confidently, "Anyone want to make it interesting?" he inquired looking around expectantly.
"How are you going to make a ride to LA more interesting Alvin?" Simon asked as he directed the group out the door and towards their respective rides in the parking lot.
"Well, since we're all taking different cars to the studio, why not have the last group to arrive has to pay for gas?" he suggested, knowing full well that Simon may be the smartest in the group, but he was also a betting man at heart.
"I have no objection to that. Is this just for the guys though?" Simon answered.
"Nah, if the girls want in, that's cool. So is anyone else interested?" Alvin responded shrugging his shoulders in apathy.
"I like that idea." Britney said.
"Yeah, count me in." Theo said unexpectedly, "what do you think Ellie?"
"I'm cool, you in Jeanette?" she said as she turned to ask her older sister.
"Well, I don't know… I mean, I was saving up some money to go to that writing convention next month, and I know my truck sucks at speed…" Jeanette said hesitantly.
"I'll cover you Jeannie." Simon said confidently as he put his arm around her again and smiled at her to reassure her.
"Then in that case, I'm in." she finally said.
"Cool," Alvin said pulling out his keys, "Now let's get this show on the road, we're already fifteen minutes late!" he finished as he unlocked his doors and hopped in to start up his car.
Barely half a minute later, all three vehicles pulled out of the parking lot and started towards the highway that took them straight to LA…
Things were unusually quiet in Alvin's car. As the others fell behind in the rearview mirror, Alvin turned on the power button only to have it turned off by Britney immediately as it came on.
"Uh, is there something on your mind Brit?" Alvin asked, attuned to her signs of frustration.
"Not really, I'm just pissed." She answered looking out the window as the scenery melted away from trees to the concrete walls that lined the highway.
"Why you pissed?" Alvin asked, a little concerned that he had somehow screwed up.
"It's not anything with you," she said, as if reading his apprehension, "I just am getting sick of Theo and Ellie right now is all."
"Because of the sex thing?" he guessed out loud.
"Yeah, I just hate how they always seem to find time to do it while I look all week for an opportunity and it never shows up." Britney fumed.
"Relax, the way I see it, there are other things we can do, and besides, it's not like we're going to be preoccupied forever, we have to get a day off soon, and when we do…" he said smiling crookedly at her with a seductive twinkle in his eyes as he glanced at her, "I guarantee that I'll make the wait completely, totally, and toe-curlingly, worth it."
Britney smiled as she let her imagination run with that image for a while as Alvin continued to drive. When the silence began to be a little too much for her though, she turned again to her boyfriend and asked him if he had had any trouble with Susan.
"Not really." He replied looking confused at the strange question, "She's the chick that switched your shirt in gym a couple weeks ago right?"
"Yeah, that's her." Brit replied, frowning at the memory of the unfunny prank.
"Now that you mention her, I just remembered why she sounded so familiar. I used to date her." He stated, clearly missing Brit's shocked expression.
"You used to date her?" she asked, sounding understandably angry.
"It wasn't anything big, we went out for a week in eighth grade. She was fucking insane, kept telling people that we were going to be together forever and how any girl that looked at me was going to pay. In fact, I forget what made me agree to go out with her in the first place." He answered getting quieter the longer he talked.
Britney was too stunned to say anything as she realized just how crazy Susan really was.
They drove the last few miles in silence, each left to their own private thoughts and feelings. Finally though, they arrived in the parking lot of the studio to the sight of Jeanette and Simon sitting in the bed of her truck smiling at them as they parked next to them.
"Okay, I give up. How the hell did you guys get here so fast?" Alvin asked as he got out and walked over to his brother and his girlfriend.
"It's called a map Alvin, we used one. You took the long way believe it or not, we took a back road with no lights, no speed limits, and no cops amazingly enough." Simon bragged, grinning from ear to ear right along with Jeanette.
Alvin and Britney glowered for a little bit before realizing that Theo and Ellie were the ones that would have to pay for gas. Suddenly, coming in second didn't seem so bad. Three minutes later, at a quarter to four, Theo's van pulled into the parking spot a few yards away and all four grinned at him and Ellie as they walked over to the group before heading in.
"When you gonna pay up Theo?" Alvin asked obnoxiously.
"Shut up Alvin." Was Theo's only response as they entered the glass doors of the studio front and were directed to broadcast room number 12.
When the kids entered the studio, they were stricken by just how small it was. On TV the set looked so much bigger and they were understandably confused.
"Is this the right room?" Britney asked, saying what they were all thinking.
"I think so," Simon answered, looking at the door again, "Yeah, this is the right place, studio number 12. So where are the people?"
"You got me dude, I guess this is where they show us how to do stuff." Alvin supplied, looking out the studio window as a man with a clipboard and headphones walked towards the door.
When the man entered the room, he looked at the kids, then down at his board, then at the kids again, "You guys the guest hosts?" he asked.
"Uh… yes?" Eleanor responded, sounding unsure of whether or not they actually were.
"You're here for America's Got Talent?" he questioned further, his eyebrow rising slightly.
"Yes, is this the right studio?" Jeanette asked the man.
"Nope, there was a mix up in the schedule printouts. You guys are actually in studio 20 down the hall" he said pointing behind him at the hall he had just come from. As they shuffled out of the room, he added almost as an afterthought, "You should probably run, they're going to need you at least in the room in five minutes, and it takes about eight to walk there." And with that they took off running past all of the smaller broadcast rooms and drew closer to Studio 20.
When they finally reached the doors to the broadcast studio three minutes later, slightly winded from the run, they pushed the double doors open and walked in to the familiar blaze of stage lights and the stage they had seen on television with the red X's hanging overhead like giant blades on a guillotine for the performers that would brave the stage later that same day. As they stared in wonder at the room around them, they were startled by a person behind them coughing to get their attention.
"Hello," he greeted them formally, "You must be the guest judges. If you would, could you please follow me to the makeup rooms; we need to get you all in costume and then we'll run through the routine and we'll teach you how to work the buttons." He instructed as he led them through a side door next to the stage.
Ten minutes later, all six of the kids were wearing new outfits that the studio had picked out for them from wardrobe and they were all powdered up for the glare of the lights that would be shining on them when they gave their verdicts after each performance.
"How cool is this?!" Alvin asked excitedly as he and Brit sat in the center positions and waited for the prompt to come from the cameras to tell them that they were rolling. This would be a live broadcast, so he hoped that they could have a good time of it.
"I know right!" Britney responded, smiling ear to ear in just such a way that she looked like the most beautiful person in the world. Which for Alvin, she was.
"I feel ridiculous." Simon said bluntly, looking at the black silk shirt that the wardrobe department had picked out for him.
"I think it makes you look handsome." Jeanette whispered in his ear as she ran her hand across his chest, completely forgetting that her sisters and their boyfriends were right next to them. Not to mention the fact that the camera crew was getting distracted by the public display of affection.
"Hmmm, not here babe, how about later, after the show?" Simon suggested, much to Alvin and Britney's chagrin, dragging her hand off of him as he grinned wolfishly at Jeanette in her low cut plum dress with a slit running up her right leg almost halfway up her thigh.
"Okay, cool it down people." Theo called down from the other end of the judged table laughing at how much Jeanette and his brother had changed since they started going out, "They're going to be starting the broadcast soon and we don't want Miss Miller and Dave to see that now do we?"
No sooner had he called it than the lights went off and the stage lit up as the intro music played and the audience filed in to take their seats in the back. After the music died down, the MC for the show walked in and announced that their first contestant would be singing a cover of Def Leppard's "Promises".
The guys all sat forward expectantly, they did love Def Leppard after all. But as soon as the first contestant opened his mouth, all six of the kids cringed at the horrible pitch and timing. Alvin and Britney couldn't hit the buzzer fast enough and Simon and Jeanette soon followed. Ellie wouldn't let Theo hit the button for them until she gave the guy a full minute. After that, even her optimism gave out for the man's performance and he was cut off.
Jeanette tried to cheer him up and told him that he was okay, he just wasn't right for the song, but the man's spirit was still crushed a little at his humiliation. Then Simon and Eleanor agreed when they told him that he had a good voice, just not the right tone for Rock, and he cheered up a little bit. In fact, the only one who didn't try and help lift his spirits was Alvin, who just sat there looking bored.
"Alvin, what the hell are you doing?" Britney hissed at him out of the corner of her mouth.
"Someone has to be the bad guy when it comes to the reviews, I figured that this way, at least no one else has to risk their reputation." He answered, sitting back in his chair as if he owned the world.
As the first performer exited the stage, the MC called out the next person and announced that she would be singing "Walk Like an Egyptian" by the Bangles. This time, the guys were unimpressed while the girls sat forward getting a little more excited at the thought of one of their favorite songs. But just like before, they were sadly disappointed with the show the poor girl put on. And just like before, all three X's lit up quickly and the girl was escorted off stage after hearing the half hearted encouragement of the kids.
"I hope that there's at least ONE good performance." Simon whispered to Jeanette who nodded sadly in agreement as the MC called out the third person from backstage.
And so, over the course of fifteen contestants, only three of them made it past the six friends. The first to make it past them was a comedian, the second was a dancer who performed the robot so convincingly that they thought he was an animatronic, and the third was a magician who pulled Alvin in half and put him back together. All of the kids liked that one except for Britney. Finally, one of the five remaining performers decided to mess with the kids a little bit. When it was his turn to go on, he prefaced his performance by pointing out that all of the people who had sang were cut out.
"Now I don't know about the audience, but I thought some of them were very good, and I was just wondering if our judges were being fair." He challenged, looking dead at Alvin.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Alvin retorted from his seat.
"I was just wondering, you see, I have never seen you six sing live. I was wondering if you CAN in fact sing, or is it all lip synched?" he asked, this time expanding his gaze from the oldest Chipmunk to all six of the friends.
"I'll show you." Alvin replied angrily as him and his friends and siblings started to get agitated by the contestants challenge, "I'll bet you your spot in the next round that we can out sing and outperform you without any prep time. We'll even do one song for each group and one song for our combined groups. What do you say to that?" he challenged.
"I say, let's do it!" the challenger answered, "One song for The Chipmunks, one for The Chipettes, and one for all six together. We let the audience decide. DO YOU WANT THAT?!" he called out to the audience who cheered in return as the MC announced the challenge over the speakers and the kids discussed what sings they would do.
"Alvin, I wish you would ask us before you made these bets" Simon grouched as they discussed their set list.
"Yeah yeah, now what are we gonna sing?" Alvin replied quickly, letting the snide remark roll off his back.
Theo chipped in, "How about the guys do "Bette Davis Eyes?"
"I like that one" Simon admitted, "And we practiced it just yesterday. What are the girls gonna do?" he asked turning to Jeanette.
"Well, we could do "Heartbreaker"" Jeanette replied, looking to her sisters for approval.
"No, we did that one on the tour, we need something we haven't done in public in a while…" Britney replied.
"What about "Heaven Is A Place On Earth"?" Eleanor suggested, to the approval of her siblings.
"But what do we do for the mix piece?" Theo asked, looking around.
"What if we did "Venus"" Britney said.
""Venus"? Are you sure?" Alvin asked, "We haven't done that in a couple of weeks, are you sure?"
"Definitely!" Eleanor answered confidently for the girls.
"Then it looks like we know what we're doing!" Simon said excitedly, "Let's go beat this guy down!"
"Yeah!" the group responded excitedly as they went to the audio person and told him what they would need played. When everything was set up a few minutes later, the kids started the challenge with The Chipettes doing "Heaven Is a Place on Earth". As the opening keys were hit on the recorded keyboard, the women in the crowd cheered and the girls spun around to face them in their signature triangle formation as they sang the first few lines like angels.
"Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth"
And as their words resounded in the studio, Jeanette, Britney, and Eleanor locked eyes with their boyfriends from off stage and they smiled, hoping that they would like the show.
"When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside
When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love..."
When they heard the lyrics, it hit the guys for the first time just how true they described how they felt when they were alone with their girlfriends.
"Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth"
As the last notes of the song died out, the crowd leapt to their feet in applause at the excellent show the girls had put on. And they exited the stage as the boys stepped on to do their solo group piece.
When the boys got on stage, Simon motioned for the audience to quiet down and when he had absolute quiet, he started, "Her hair is Harlow gold!"
Then in came Theo, "Her lips a sweet surprise."
And finally Alvin, "Her hands are never cold."
Then as one, they belted out, "She's got Bette Davis eyes"
As the music continued, they kept singing, each thinking that the song was written specifically for their girl.
"She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She's got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious and she knows just what it
takes to make a pro blush
She's got Greta Garbo stand-off sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you when she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just what
It takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She'll expose you
When she snows you
Cause she knows you"
And to the cheer of the crowd, they belted the last line.
"She's got Bette Davis eyes!"
As they finished their song, the girls ran up on stage to get ready for their last set. This time, the parts were split into couples as they sang while dancing in tandem slowly spinning around each other.
The music started in strong and upbeat as the boys began to sing…
"A Goddess on a mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it"
And the girls came in,
"I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire"
And as one, they sang,
"Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
The Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
Wow !
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Yeah, baby, she's got it!"
And as the lights dimmed and the music got quieter, they trailed off, holding the last note for an astounding amount of time before stopping all at once to let the effect wash over the crowd. When the crowd finally reacted, they stood up and started screaming their lungs out in approval and adulation. Then the challenger walked up on stage and looked straight at them before speaking.
"Hey, I just want to apologize to you guys for all this, I was nervous and a little angry, you see, you already shot down one of my friends and I didn't want to be next. I'll just leave now." He said, his head bowed in shame.
"No you won't, the bet may be off, but I want to see what you got before you throw in the towel." Alvin stated, smiling at the man.
"Well, okay, but it won't be nearly as good as your little show." He replied, looking relieved as he took the mic.
As it turned out, he was very good, and not a single X lit up for his entire rendition of Jessie's Girl. And when he finally put the mic down, the crowd cheered almost as loud as they did for the kids.
"Dude, what's your name again?" Alvin asked leaning over the table slightly.
"My name is Brad, sorry again about earlier." Brad replied.
"Forget it, what I want to know is where you learned to sing." Alvin joked.
"Uh, I'm self taught actually." He said.
"Are you serious?" the kids asked shocked.
"Yeah, I started by singing with the CD player, and then I just decided to try my luck here." Brad explained, suddenly feeling self conscious.
"Well, you did wonderfully." Jeanette told him, "In fact, here's the card of our recording label, and I think I speak for all of us when I say that we want you to at least go there and make a demo disc. You're going places."
Her words were greeted by a collective "AWWWW" from the audience and smiles of approval from her siblings and friends.
"Uh, thanks…" Brad answered, stunned and quiet with the shock of being given approval by an established artist.
And with that, he left the stage to the applause of the crowd. The MC then came on and announced that due to the length of time the contest took and the time left they could broadcast, they would continue with the last group next week with a new set of guest judges.
As the kids filed out of the studio almost half an hour later, it was dark and they headed for their cars discussing the show and all the acts they had seen.
"What was your favorite Simon?" Jeanette, asked, her arm and his linked as they walked along the avenues of the parking lot.
"I liked Brad's the best, although seeing only half of Alvin was great too." He joked, pulling her closer and smiling as he looked into her eyes.
"I loved Brad's performance!" Eleanor said enthusiastically, "And he wasn't too bad looking either."
Theo stared at her incredulously until she laughed and assured him that she was just kidding. "We all know you're the only one for me" She said as she pulled him closer for a short kiss that made his expression immediately soften.
"I thought Brad was good too, but the comedian was still my favorite." Britney volunteered, then looked at Alvin and saw that he was distracted with something.
Pulling him over to the side and just slightly away from the group, who kept walking, she asked him what the matter was.
"It's probably nothing, but you know how I scan the crowds to see if anyone familiar is out there?" he asked.
"Yeah," she replied, she did the same thing after all.
"Well, tonight, I could have sworn that I saw Susan in the audience, it was weird because she was the only person not cheering at all. She just kind of stared at us the whole time."
"What do you want to do?" Brit asked, getting a little concerned.
"I'm going to go back to the studio and ask security if she was actually there, I doubt it was actually her, but I don't want to imagine if she was." He said as he stood up from where they were sitting on the ground and began to walk back to the studio, "And Britney, go get in the car and lock the doors ok? I don't like this feeling."
Britney nodded and ran back to the group as they drew further and further away.
As Alvin came closer to the double doors, he saw a spot of the wall move and thought it was a trick of the light until the same spot came into the light being spilled across the front of the walkway and spoke.
"Hello Alvin, remember me?" she asked menacingly.
"Susan right?" Alvin guessed, hoping he was wrong.
"Well what do you know; you DO remember me, that's sweet." Susan said as she stepped closer, like a tiger stalking its prey in the brush.
"Well, you know, it's hard to forget a psycho, you guys tend to stick around long after people want you to." He retorted, trying to act tough in the hopes that she would back off. No such luck.
"Now Alvin, I'd be nicer to me if I were you, I know you're under HER spell, but I won't hesitate to save you from yourself." Susan replied cryptically, reaching into her bag.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, panicking a little, "and what are you getting out?"
"Oh, you don't have anything to fear from me Alvin, you see, I still love you, I'm just being a little more, I guess you could say proactive in my approach to bringing you back into the light." Susan said as she closed the distance between them.
"What the hell are you saying?" he asked angrily, realizing that she had backed him up into a wall.
"I'm saying, you have a choice, either you ditch Britney and start going out with me again, or these hit the bulletin board at school and the internet." She said with a wicked smile as she fanned some pictures in his face.
Alvin grabbed for them and when he had them in his hands, he was stricken dumb to see that they were pictures of him and Britney in the Drive-In, and there were even some of them at the Lookout, "How the hell did you get these?" he asked, when he finally got his voice back.
"Getting them was easy, you're surprisingly easy to tail, for a celebrity I mean. Now you have two choices, you can give in and take me back, or these go public, and if you think the police are going to help you, I have insurance back at my house that will have you locked up before they even try to go after me. It really is funny the stuff that you can manipulate in Photoshop." Susan smiled cruelly as she watched him agonize over everything she had just revealed.
"Will you at least give me some time to weigh my options?" Alvin pleaded, torn between loyalty to Brit and at the same time, not wanting to compromise her public image.
"Sure, you have until Thursday. That's a little under a week from today, and remember, I have pictures that WILL have you locked away if you go to anyone in an authoritative position." She said as she backed away and walked off into the night.
And Alvin was left alone in the dark to think about what this all meant to Britney, the group, and him.
There you have it, Susan has made her move and now leaves Alvin with an impossible choice. Just as things were looking good for the first time in a long time for them both, now what will happen for Alvin and Britney? Will they stay together or not? Will Susan's plan succeed? Will they ever be left alone to show each other just how much they trust and love each other? And what will happen for Simon and Jeanette? Will THEY ever find time to unleash the carnal emotions and feelings they are both starting to unlock now that they're happily together? I guess you'll just have to find out next time. Thank you for reading, please review and send a message to me if you have any questions or suggestions.
