Lol, I just read some of the reviews. ThnQ so much. I'm getting better at using this.
Brittany and Eleanor went to meet their mother on the beach. But never found her. What they did find was a soaking wet Jeanette, tears streaming down her furry cheeks. Unaware to her surroundings, she rocked slowly back and forth getting closer to falling off the stone each time.
"Whoa, stop!" Eleanor grabbed her sisters heaving shoulder and looked at her unfocused face; it was like she didn't know she was there.
"Where's Mummy?" asked and out of breathe Brittany, coming up to Eleanor's side. Then her eyes met Jeanette. "Ah, this is why you were running. Where's Mummy, Jeanette?"
The chipmunks seemed to come down to earth at this question and she looked at Brittany with two, guilty eyes.
"Where's Mummy?" Brittany demanded, more forcefully this time. Jeanette buried her head in between her knee's and began sobbing uncontrollably.
"Shh, shh. It's okay." Comforted Eleanor, scowling at Brittany. "Shh, Jeanette, is Mummy coming?"
Jeanette slowly shook her head.
"WHY NOT!" shouted Brittany. The brown chipmunk just shook her head again. More tears streamed out of her eyes. Then, Brittany's eyes began to water. Eleanor, who was sobbing silently, was surprised – Brittany never cried and thought it was for babies.
"She was always there… and now, she's not." the blonde one, sighed, "She's gone – and we're alone."
Brittany drew a long shaky breathe, "No, girls. We're not. We've got each other and we always will." Then, she wrapped her arms around her triplets and whispered that it was going to be fine. The corners of Jeanette's mouth twitched. She loved it when Brittany was like this; it made them feel more of a family.
"You know what. We're going to move. We can go to America. Mummy always said it was we're all your dreams come true. Like meeting Daddy…"
Jeanette squeaked in terror at the name. With a confused look, at her sister's behaviour, Eleanor asked, "But it could be ages away. And how will we get there?"
"Erm, well we're in… er in, I think it's…uh – Jeanette, where are we?" But she didn't answer. She was crying again, not making a sound though and staring at the huge cliff face.
Eleanor hugged her sister, and whispered Brittany's question in her ear. Jumping at the sound of a voice, she said, "Australia."
"Well, we can get on one of those big things that float on water."
"Boats?" Jeanette suggested.
"Yeah!"
"Look, there's one!" cried Eleanor. She was right. A boat had just pulled up in the harbour nearby. The athletic chipmunk began to speed towards the water. The others followed...
Another short chapter, soz. But ThnQ.
