And here comes the third chapter, updated at the speed of light!
Something I haven't planned, but some friendly OCs will appear in the next chapter (And no, I won't spoil it! Just wait!). Thanks my friend for this idea (I don't have to name him, he'll found out by himself)
Previously, in The seventh chipmunk:
I parked under one of the car which was already here when I heard a familiar voice.
"Dave, I know you're still mad against Alvin but-"
"Simon, I know you're trying to fix his mistakes again, but if he continues on breaking his guitars he'll have to sing without them!"
Dave looked for something inside the car, and I could guess that Simon was on his shoulder.
So, with some luck, I've found the Seville's car! I thought I've already seen this car somewhere. I swiped my thought when I felt another familiar thing nearby.
I retained a squeak when I felt something vibrating inside my neck, I put a paw on it, to feel something tiny, but solid. Nuts, with all my luck, I think Mark tagged me with a microchip, I thought, looking around to see where I felt him. My eyes widened when I recognized his legs some meters in front of me. He was tracking me. I ran on all four to the opposite direction and with the right timing entered the opening backstage door. At least, here, he won't follow me. I climbed on the scaffolding and my eyes widened when I saw which group was singing. The Chipmunks were singing and I was a few meters from them!
Even if it was just the preparation, I was still happy to see them. But my past emerged again when the microchip in my neck started to vibrate again. "I have to get it out or Mark will follow me everywhere" I thought, looking at my claws. "Not by this way. I think I'll need some help". I sheathed them and sat on the scaffolding until the show begin. Some question ran through my mind, the most big one is will they accept me in their family?
My thoughts faded away when I heard the crowd of fan shouting their names. They began singing:
Uh, Hey, Yeah, Uh
If I had a dollar for every time I heard
Oh my goodness, gosh
'Munks are rockin' my world
Can I get an autograph pretty, pretty please?
Can we take a photograph? Everybody "cheese"
We got the world hyped up
You know that we gotta make this hot for sure
It's our time to shine
Hit that spotlight

Cer-ti-fiable, we're rockin' platinum baby
We're so re-liable
Hit after hit, we rock you
Un-de-niable, you know we got you
My tail twitched. "No way, I'm not gonna dance on that! And not on the scaffolding!" Tapping with my feet on the iron bar, I continued to listen to them.
Gotta, gotta rock the house, every night we're on
Gotta stick around until every fan is gone
Gotta show love, cause that's just how we roll
Gotta throw your hands up cause we're undeniable
We got the world hyped up
You know that we gotta make this hot for sure
It's our time to shine
Hit that spotlight
Everybody, move your body
Make you happy, alright
Chipmunks, you know they gotcha movin'
Chipmunks, there is just no improvin'(no ho, baby)
We're Un-de-niable, no "ifs" or "ands" or "maybes"

We're Un-de-niable, no "ifs" or "ands" or "maybes"
Cer-ti-fiable, we're rockin' platinum baby
We're so re-liable
Hit after hit, we rock you
Un-de-niable, you know we got you
I finished by doing some acrobatics, on the scaffolding. I swore myself that I'll never do it again.
Climbing it down, I hid behind a box, waiting for them. Some minutes later, Alvin greeted the crowd. The group left the stage, and I prepared my 'surprise'. They'll be really surprised. I heard that the Chipmunks and the Chipettes were talking with Dave. I wasn't really listening to them, until I heard an interesting part. "Anyway, we have fans from around the world-" I walked off my hiding, finishing the sentence Jeanette had just started. "Even if some of them aren't even human." As I thought, they gave me confused and surprised looks.
"No offense, but who are you?" Simon said, adjusting his glasses. I could read in his eyes that I'll have hard time for convincing him. "I'm Luc, Luc Seville. I know, there's a wordplay with my family name and yours, but unfortunately, I don't belong to your family." I finished mentally the sentence: Yet. At the same time, I could feel the microchip vibrating so much that I had to put my paw on my neck.
"I won't hold my story for too long, so here it is." I mentally froze. Should I reveal them the truth, and be treated as a random chipmunk, or give them lies, which will kick me out of them? Seeing that they were still waiting, I started.
"It'll be hard to believe, I know it." I sighed, prepared to be treated as an insane chipmunk.
"Some days ago, I was still a human." I saw some amused faces, others were already bored. The more I spoke, the more I felt it vibrating. He's somewhere around me. "I was morphed into a chipmunk, and where I need your help guys, I have to find a way to escape the insane scientist who morphed me and who's actually tracking me." I had some difficulties to finish the sentence, knowing that at any moment he could show from nowhere and try to catch me.
To my surprise, Alvin spoke first. "I don't know if my brothers will agree with me, but I trust you. We'll help you." Simon walked next to him, giving me an unpleasant look. "Alvin, and what would happen if we find out he's lying? We don't even know him!"
"But I trust him." This came from Theodore and Eleanor at the same time. I was happier than ever, until Brittany joined Simon's thoughts.
"I think he isn't even healthy, as he's always holding his neck."
"Brittany, I have to hold my neck because he implanted a microchip which his vibrating as he's getting closer."
"Then, prove it."
"And how, Simon? I can't ev-" I stopped when I felt Jeanette's paw over my neck.
"Guys, he's not lying. I can feel it." I was almost blushing under my fur until I get back to my thoughts.
I could see on the faces that only Simon was against me. Dave, who was looking at the scene, knelt behind me and lifted me on his hand.
"Listen, Luc, I allow to stay with us until you get your problems solved. I know what Simon feels, and I'm sure you'll get along with him." I thanked him, and felt it vibrating again. So much that I thought it'll explode my neck. Seeing that I could barely breathe, Alvin and Theodore caught me, before I could fall on the floor.
"He's close, we shall get out of here." I said, panting heavily. And my thoughts were right when I saw the backstage door behind Dave opened by Mark.
Mark was standing some meters behind Dave, and my eyes widened when I saw him. Simon followed my sight and saw him as well. Our eyes met and, finally I could fall he was sorry to not trust me.
"It's okay, Si, I knew it'd be hard to convince you." I looked at Mark, who was slowly approaching, holding a remote control. He pushed a button and I nearly squeaked in pain. Holding my neck I knelt on the ground, and within a second Dave lifted me and I saw Mark, getting blocked by the security guards. I was praying that they'll smash his remote control, and to my despair, the last thing I saw this day was Mark pushing the huge red button on it. I felt a huge pain in my neck, followed by Dave's voice: "Oh no, Luc's bleeding." A second later, I passed out, feeling a warm liquid flowing out of my neck.
My thoughts were jumbled, and I couldn't think too long before feeling a huge headache. Gathering my strength I could finally open my eyes. The surroundings were still blurry, but I could recognize I was in a house, laying on a bed. I tilted my head to the left, when I felt a pain wave in my whole body.
"Easy, Luc, your body haven't recovered from the surgery yet." Locating where he was, I tried to look at him and failed. He approached me, holding my glasses. "I think you'll see better with this." He put my glasses on, and I felt another pair of paws walking on my bed. "So, he's already awake?" This came from Jeanette. "Don't mind if I ask you Simon, but what happened?" I said, looking at him.
"Well, the microchip had apparently a self-destruct ability, and when Mark activated it, the explosion severely damaged your jugular. In fact, it was implanted right into your jugular, and the vet was almost hopeless when he saw the injury." He adjusted his glasses and continued.
"You lose almost half of your blood and I admit, we were scared for your life. The vet asked us to let you rest and, under any condition, to not move your neck. You should normally heal in a week."
"So, I'll be stuck for a week without moving my neck? Sweet." They gave the 'Are you serious?' look. I mentally slapped myself and fixed my mistake. "And I know what you're thinking. Anyway, thanks for saving me."
"Also, you don't know about Mark, but he left a minute after you passed out. This creepy man was smiling when he was looking at you."
"I would guess it." I tried to turn slowly on my right, but Jeanette gently stopped me.
"Okay, you may have planned the food and several other things, but I bet you haven't planned about-" I was interrupted by Simon, who put his paw on my mouth.
"Actually, I planned 'that'." He helped me to stand up and we headed to the bathroom. It was like my neck was full of needles, but I could manage it.
Two days later, the vet came to check me. Surprised that my body had already healed from the injury, he allowed me to finally put off this uncomfortable neck holder. I just had to pay attention to not have any stress or any strong emotions. And as I thought, no running. My jugular was still weak so any intense activity might break the suture points. Being finally able to freely move around the house, I could think about a small detail that apparently made blush the girls: I had to find some clothes, even if in a couple of days I get used to wear no other things that my glasses and my dark brown fur.
This problem was solved really quickly. An hour after the vet left, I stand up in my bed and asked Simon about this problem, as he was waiting next to the door.
"Well, we knew that you would need some clothes and your... Journal was quite useful." Simon said, a bit scared to hear my answer. My ears twitched when they heard the J word.
"Did my ears really heard that you read my journal in my phone?" I said, giving him a fake angry look.
"Well, I was the only one who read it, I swear!"
I admit I wrote some time ago what I could wear if I would be a chipmunk, and surprisingly it became handy. I thanked him and asked where did they put them. He pointed their common dress.
I jumped off my bed and saw that my car was actually parked underneath it. Speaking of it, my bed was set between the bunks of the Chipmunks and the Chipettes. I walked to the common dress and nearly dropped my jaw when I saw how many clothes they bought me, without even saying how many clothes there was actually in it.. I chose a cyan hoodie from the set and followed Simon, who was leaning against the door, to the living room. When the band saw me, I was suddenly in the middle of a family hug. I thanked them for their help.
"Well, that's normal for a friend." Alvin said. He received a blink from Theodore, making him correct his last words. "I mean, that's normal for a brother." My eyes widened.
"Are you sure I could be your brother? Ya know, I-" I was cut by Simon.
"Don't think too much, Luc. It's alright."
"But I'm scared to bring danger to your-" This time, I was poked by Eleanor.
"I mean, to our family."
"Then, we'll fight it together." I smiled at Alvin's determination. I was no longer alone against this mad scientist named Mark and the most important, I finally made my dream become true.
Finally, things get better...
But who can imagine the craziness of Mark?
