---12:00 PM, Saturday June 19---

It was a quiet and calm day in the household. Usually, it would be loud, with the boys (mostly Alvin) blasting music from their room, and the 6 of them would just be frantically running around the house for fun. But it wasn't like that today, and it probably won't be like that again for a long time.

Brittany sat on her bed, holding her head up with her hands. "Ow, my head hurts."

Jeanette hopped off her bed and went over to Brittany and felt her forehead. She didn't seem to have a fever. "You feel fine. What's wrong?"

Brittany shook her head. "I don't know. I feel dizzy."

Eleanor went up to her sisters. "That's because you haven't eaten anything! That can cause headaches."

Jeanette nodded. "I'll go get something from the kitchen for her."

Eleanor nodded. Jeanette walked out their bedroom door and went to the kitchen. Alvin, Simon and Theodore were in the living room, watching TV. Their eyes were glued on the screen, but none of them were really paying attention. Jeanette quietly made her way to the fridge and got out a cold plate of pasta. Jeanette shrugged. It didn't matter if it was cold. The only thing that mattered is that Brittany should eat something. She got a chunk of it and put it on a small plate, small enough that she can carry it.

Jeanette made her way back to their room, carrying a small plate of pasta. "Here. It's a bit cold, but that should do."

Brittany took the plate from her sister. "Thanks Jeanette."

Eleanor sighed. "Britt? How are you feeling?"

Brittany shrugged. "I'm feeling better, not as bad as yesterday at least." She said before taking a bite.

"So, are you gonna tell him?" Asked Eleanor

Brittany almost choked on her food. "No!" She screamed. "Why do you want me to tell him so badly? It's my choice!"

Eleanor said, "I'm sorry Brittany. But the guys are on to us, and it would be better if you just told him to get it over with."

Brittany shook her head. "No..."

"Eleanor's right. You don't have a choice, Britt. Alvin will find out." Jeanette said.

Brittany rolled her eyes. "He will, I promise. I'll tell him myself. But not anytime soon."

With the boys...

Alvin casually sat back in the chair, with an arm behind his head. "Hey, the girls have been really quiet today. What do you think they're up to?"

Both Theodore and Simon rolled their eyes.

"Alvin, you have to stop this. The girls are fine, believe me. Yeah, I know they're acting weird but it's none of our business." Simon said. "Just calm down, jeez."

Alvin rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah? Do they seem 'fine' to you? Do you think they're acting okay, Simon? I don't think so."

Simon sighed. "Fine, I'll go talk to Jeanette. But I assure you, that there's nothing wrong." He got off the chair and headed to the girl's door. He knocked on it twice, and luckily, Jeanette answered.

Jeanette gulped, "Oh, hey Simon." She turned her head to look at her sisters. She mouthed the word 'Simon' and both Eleanor and Brittany's eyes widened with nervousness.

"Uh, Jeanette?" Asked Simon.

Jeanette turned back to him. "W-what?"

"Uh, can I speak to you for a moment?" He asked.

"Uh...what?" She asked. She knew what this was about, the one thing she wanted to avoid.

Simon raised an eyebrow. "Can I speak to you?" He asked, enunciating each word.

Jeanette had to think of something fast. "Um, now isn't really a good time, Simon."

"It'll only take a minute." He said.

"Oh, okay." She said, feeling really nervous. She wasn't all that great with questions. She closed the door behind her.

"NO!" Brittany exclaimed. "What is she doing?"

"Relax Brittany. Jeanette wouldn't tell anyone." Said Eleanor, hoping she was right.

-----

Jeanette stood there, face to face with Simon, with hands behind her back. 'What is it that you wanna talk about?"

"Well, Alvin has gone completely psycho ever since yesterday. He thinks that you and your sisters are keeping something from us. I just think he's being ridiculous." Simon said

"Why are you telling me this?" Jeanette asked.

"I just wanna ask you if everything's alright. I mean, you and your sisters were acting a bit weird at dinner last night." Simon said.

"Oh, that." Jeanette faked a laugh. "It was nothing, I swear." She lied.

Simon could see that she was a nervous wreck. Alvin could be right. "Really? Then what was that about? Brittany didn't eat, and you and Eleanor started to freak out when we said that Alvin should go talk to Brittany. And why is Brittany ignoring Alvin anyway?"

"Just girl stuff, Simon. You wouldn't understand." Jeanette said, hoping that this talk would be over soon.

"Yeah, I wouldn't, but Claire can, right? Why didn't you explain to her what's wrong?" Simon asked.

Jeanette sighed. "Just sister stuff, Simon. Look, I really need to go back."

"I don't think 'sister stuff' is avoiding to eat, and ignoring your boyfriend, and I'm talking about Brittany. I know you know what's going on" Simon said.

Jeanette didn't reply to that.

"Are you three okay? You guys aren't sick or anything, right?" Simon asked.

"Sick?" Jeanette asked. "No, of course not. We're all feeling great." She tried to put on a smile.

"It's just that Alvin is freaking out about Brittany. He's really worried about her." Simon told her.

Jeanette smiled. "Well, just tell Alvin that Brittany is fine, and she isn't mad at him at all, please? But the three of us just need some 'sister' time. I hope you can understand." Jeanette said quietly.

Simon sighed. "Yeah, I'll tell him."

"Thank you Simon." Jeanette said, before walking back into the room.

Simon made his way back to his brothers. Now he was getting a bit suspicious.

"So, what did she say?" Alvin asked

Simon told them everything, even admitting the fact that now he was getting a bit suspicious.

"See? I told you!" Alvin said. "I told you something's wrong with them! They're keeping something from us, something they don't want us to know!"

"I don't believe that." Theodore said.

"What?" Simon and Alvin said at the same time.

"I don't think they're keeping a huge secret from us." Theo said.

"Uh, hello? Earth to Theodore? Didn't you just hear what Simon said?" Alvin asked. "Jeanette was acting nervous, and she wouldn't spill about anything!"

"Eleanor wouldn't keep a secret from me, so I'll just ask her myself." Theodore told him.

"Not a bad idea actually." Simon said.

"What?" Alvin asked.

"We can see if Eleanor's story matches Jeanette, and if they don't, then-" Simon said, but got cut off by his brother.

"Then we have proof that they have something they don't wanna share!" Alvin said. "Man, I am smart!"

Simon sighed, "You sure are, Alvin."

"So, when can I ask her?" Theodore asked.

"Right now, obviously." Alvin said.

"No! I just talked to Jeanette. They're gonna know that we're on to something if we just ask them one after another. Just give it another hour or so." Simon said.

2 hours later....

Alvin sighed out loud in boredom. "Theodore, I think you should go talk to Eleanor now."

Theo hopped off the couch. "Should I?"

Simon looked at the clock on the wall. "Yeah, I guess you should. It's been over an hour."

"Where are they?" Asked Theodore.

Alvin rolled his eyes. "They're in their room. That's where they've been hiding the past 24 hours."

"Okay, okay." Theodore said. He walked to the chipette's bedroom door and knocked on it.

Brittany sighed. "What is it now?"

"Should we answer it?" Jeanette asked.

Eleanor nodded. "We don't wanna be rude. Let's just say that we're busy or something."

Theodore knocked on the door again.

"Who's gonna answer it?" Jeanette asked her sisters.

"Not me. This whole thing started because of me. Hello? Pregnant chipmunk here." Brittany said.

"And I answered the last time." Jeanette said.

Eleanor rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'll get it." She hopped off the bed and answered the door. She was surprised to see who was standing there. "Theodore! What brings you here?"

Theodore smiled. "Hi. Can I ask you something?"

Eleanor knew what this was gonna be about. "Why?"

Theodore shrugged. "Just curious."

Eleanor stepped out of her bedroom. "What is it?"

Theodore didn't want to say something rude like 'what's wrong with you' so he just said, "How was your day?" He automatically felt like an idiot. That wasn't the question that was suppose to come out.

Eleanor laughed at the random question. "Fine, I guess. What about yours?"

Theodore said, "It was okay."

It was silent between the two of them for a moment.

"Um, Elle? I actually have to ask you something." Theodore said.

Eleanor felt nervous now. She knew what it was about. "Okay, what is it?"

"Are you and your sisters okay? You three have been very...secretive since yesterday. Is there something you guys are hiding?" Theo asked.

Eleanor shook her head quickly. "No, of course not." She lied

"Okay. What about Brittany? What's wrong with her? Why is she ignoring Alvin?" Theodore asked.

Eleanor froze for a moment. She couldn't tell him the truth. "Brittany is uh...she's not feeling well."

"That's why she's ignoring Alvin?" He asked.

Eleanor nodded. "I guess."

"But that doesn't make sense." Theodore said.

Eleanor forced a laugh. "It's Brittany and Alvin. They never make sense."

Theodore nodded. "I guess, but I just don't get why you and Jeanette are acting weird too. You two feel well, don't you?"

Eleanor nodded slowly. "Yeah...but Jeanette and I are fine. Brittany is just feeling sick. Don't worry about anything Theodore."

Sick? But Simon told us that they were feeling fine.

"Eleanor, but-"

"Just tell Alvin and Simon that everything's alright, okay? Thanks." She didn't give Theodore time to answer. She just walked back into her room, and shut the door behind her.

Theodore didn't want to admit it. But he couldn't. Now he had a feeling that they had something they didn't want the boys to know. Alvin and Simon were right.

"Uh, guys?" Theodore said when he went back to the living room.

"Theodore! What did she say?" Alvin asked him right away.

Theodore explained everything, Alvin rolling his eyes every now and then.

"So Jeanette said that no one was sick, now Eleanor said that Britt is feeling sick? What the heck?" Alvin said.

Simon crossed his arms. "Alvin, I think you should talk to Brittany."

Alvin raised his eyebrows. "You're encouraging me now?"

"I just think it's the right thing to do." Simon said. "You're the one who kinda obsessed with this whole 'finding out what's wrong with the girls' thing."

Alvin knew his brother was right. "I don't know guys...I haven't thought about talking to her yet. I know Brittany. If she doesn't want anyone to talk to her, you stay away."

Simon shrugged.

"Simon is right. Just go talk to her,despite what's happening right now. This thing has been bothering you all day." Theodore said.

Alvin sighed. "Fine. I'll go talk to her...soon."
