Previously On Love Me Always
"Why are you helping me all of a sudden? I thought you hated me" Brittney asked as Simon stepped back.
"It's hard to hate someone when their brother is still in love with them." Simon explained as he sat in one of the armchairs.
"Alvin still loves me?" Brittney asked in shock.
-"You heard me" Simon said as he dropped onto one knee and held the ring out to Jeanette.
Jeanette dropped the box she was holding in surprise.
"Jeanette Miller would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He asked.
"Yes" Jeanette said grinning.
Brittney sipped her coffee while she sat at the kitchen table.
She was still grumpy since Eleanor had woken her up early.
Alvin was reading the local paper, while Simon was reading the Wall Street Journal.
Jeanette had her nose stuck into a book all morning while Eleanor and Theodore were preparing breakfast.
Theodore looked up at the clock. He smiled then hollered, "Jill wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey. It's six o'clock on the dot"
Brittney looked at him questionably.
Eleanor giggled at her expression. "We'll explain later"
Theodore and Eleanor passed food around just as Jill came into the room wearing the pink robe she was wearing yesterday.
"Good morning everybody" She said as she sat down at the table.
Theodore and Eleanor sat down just as everyone simultaneously said, "Good morning Jill"
"So Uncle Simon, when's the big day?" Jill asked.
Simon looked up from his paper. "What big day?"
"Yours and Aunt Jeanette's wedding of course" Jill exclaimed.
"What!" Everyone yelled.
Simon slapped his fist to his forehead and Jeanette looked up from her book to reveal that her cheeks were a crimson red.
"How did you know?" Simon asked.
"I'm surprised no one else heard all of the noise you were making last night when you guys dropped all that stuff, and no one else saw him get down on one knee." Jill replied with a smirk.
"It's about time" Alvin said slapping his brother on the back.
"Seriously it took him…., how many years was it again Al?" Theodore asked.
"Nine, ten years maybe." Alvin guessed.
"Let me see the ring!" Brittney exclaimed tired of hearing the boys go on and on.
Eleanor nodded in agreement.
Jeanette held out her hand for all of them to see.
Brittney examined it closely. ".75 carat, princess cut. Not too bad Simon" She commented.
Alvin rolled his eyes at Brittney's behavior.
"Jill do you want me to walk you to school or would you rather drive?" He asked trying to change the subject.
"Great nothing better than a Monday after a school break." She muttered. Her face lit up suddenly "Can Mom, Aunt Jeanette, and Aunt Eleanor take me?" She asked.
Everyone looked at her surprised. "If they want to" Alvin said with a shrug.
"Sounds like fun!" Eleanor squealed.
Alvin folded his newspaper and checked the time. "Jill you have to be at the front door ready to go in twenty minutes, and,"
"Don't be late" Jill finished her father's sentence. "Dad we go through this every single day. I won't be late I promise. I'm not mom" Jill said before she left the table.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Brittney asked.
Alvin and Simon went back to their papers, Theo and Ellie went back to eating, while Jeanette went back to her book.
Brittney picked up her coffee mug. "I'm not that bad" She muttered before she took a sip.
Sure enough in twenty minutes Jill was standing at the door and the girls set off.
"So why did you say yes after only meeting up with Simon after a day?" Eleanor asked Jeanette still shocked that her big sister was engaged.
Jeanette shrugged. "I love him, and that's all that matters."
"Well he sure loves you. He used to sneak out of bed in the middle of the night at look at his Jeanette box. I can't blame him though, I used to sneak out of bed and look at dad's Brittney box." Jill said.
Brittney smiled at her daughter and was about to say something when a voice suddenly shouted out, "Jill Britt Seville stop right there!"
The quartet turned around and saw a girl on rollerblades behind them.
The girl began speeding towards them.
She began losing her balance when she almost reached them.
Jill stepped in the girl's path and held out her arms.
Brittney was about to push Jill out of the way but Jill caught the girl before she could fall.
"Thanks Jill" The girl said as Jill helped her to regain balance.
"No problem Maddie" Jill said.
Brittney looked at Maddie. She was a bit shorter than Jill and had light brown hair pulled into low pigtails and brown eyes. Her book bag was slung over her shoulder and she was wearing an outfit similar to Jill's, which she assumed was a school uniform.
It was a plaid skirt, a white short sleeved shirt, and a tie that matched the skirt around their necks.
Brittney was horrified by the outfit, especially the plaid part.
She was happy that Jill and Maddie had both made the outfit partly theirs. Jill wrapped a pink scarf around her waist for a belt and Maddie wore a cropped lime green jacket. They both wore a pair of flats, Jill's pink and Maddie's lime green.
Jill noticed the three chipettes staring at Maddie and wrapped an arm around Maddie's shoulders. "Guys this is Maddie"
"Hi" Maddie waved a paw.
"So where's the rest of the gang?" Jill asked ignoring the chipettes.
"Right there." Maddie pointed to two figures in the distance one on a bike and one a scooter both carrying bags.
The one on the bike reached the group and she jumped off.
She was a tall chipette with dark brown hair and green eyes. She was wearing the uniform with a purple vest over her white shirt, a purple headband, and purple flats to match.
"I missed you guys so much!" She said before she wrapped her arms around the two shorter chipettes in a hug.
"We missed you too Stephanie" Maddie said.
"Yeah Steph, you're the life of the party, most of the time." Jill joked.
Stephanie let go of her friends and glared at Jill. "You're lucky that I haven't left you yet Seville"
"When did you become my wife?" Jill joked again.
The little girl on the scooter rode up. "Don't fight guys" She pleaded as she dropped her scooter to the ground.
"Sorry Erin" Jill and Stephanie both said.
Erin was shorter than Maddie and had deep wavy red hair. She had light blue eyes and was wearing the uniform with a yellow bow wrapped around just below her chest. She also wore a yellow headband and yellow flats.
"So how we're your vacations?" Jill asked.
"My mom dragged me and my brother to our grandparent's house." Maddie said.
"I went to Idaho and stayed at a potato farm. Did you know there are like 15 ways to grow a potato?" Erin exclaimed.
"Yeah my brother said something about it once" Maddie responded with a shrug.
"I went to an adoption fair" Stephanie said bitterly.
"Did you.." Erin began but Stephanie cut her off.
"Nope still in the orphanage" She told them. She sighed and looked at Jill. "What about you Jill?"
"I met some people" She couldn't help but smile as she glanced at the chipettes.
"Who?" They all cried out at once.
"Them" Jill said as she pointed to the Chipettes.
The girls all turned and looked at the chipettes. "You're the one that tore out Alvin's heart and stomped on it" Erin hissed as she glared at Brittney.
"And you broke Simon's heart" Stephanie said as she looked at Jeanette. Her face broke into a grin and she began clapping. "Bravo, bravo! Anyone who breaks Simon's heart is alright in my book"
"Actually he's marrying her now" Jill told her friend smirking.
Erin giggled. "I remember what Stephanie thought Simon's new wife would be like.
Everyone looked at her confused.
Erin sighed. "Remember when we were having a sleepover at Jill's. We were all imagining people we wanted to come into our lives. Then somehow Theodore Simon's future wives came up. I said that Theodore would marry a woman who was intelligent, beautiful, athletic, and an excellent chef. While Stephanie said that Simon would marry a dumb blonde, that can't add 2+2." Erin said with a laugh.
Everyone looked at Erin shocked, except for Eleanor who was happy she fit the description of Theodore's future wife.
"Stephanie hates your fiancée; let's just leave it at that." Maddie explained to Jeanette.
"I don't hate him, I despise him" Stephanie spat.
"Why?" Eleanor asked.
"Long story" Jill sighed.
"Yeah and we're going to be late for school at this rate. So Jill get your skate board and let's high tail it out of here" Maddie said.
"Actually I'm walking with my mom and aunts you guys go ahead." Jill told them.
"Alright" They agreed as Erin grabbed her scooter and Stephanie got on her bike.
"Are you guys coming to the show?" Erin asked.
"What show?" Brittney asked them.
"The school talent show are group is entering. We're the Chipettes" Maddie announced as she posed in her rollerblades.
The original Chipettes' eyes widened when she said the group name.
"I still don't like the name" Stephanie muttered.
"You just don't like it because Simon suggested it" Erin pointed out.
"I'll see if they can make it, bye guys!" Jill said waving her hands for her friends to leave.
"Fine pushy" Maddie muttered and the three set off.
The girls walked in silence until they reached the school. "We would love to come if you want us there" Brittney told her daughter.
"Of course I want you guys there!" Jill exclaimed.
"Then we'll be there" Jeanette smiled.
"Yo Seville, go long!" A voice called.
The girls all turned around and Jill began running backwards.
They noticed a football flying in the sky. It headed back towards the ground and Jill caught it.
She then threw back a perfect spiral towards a group of boys.
One of them caught it and ran to Jill. "Nice spiral Seville"
"Not too bad of a throw yourself McGuire." Jill told him.
The boy grinned. "I can't wait to see you in the show on Friday"
"Just a little number the girls and I set up, what about you? What are you doing for the show?" She asked him.
"I'm not doing the show" She shrugged.
"Matt McGuire, you're not doing the show" She said in disbelief.
"It's not a requirement Seville" He told her with a smile.
"I guess not. Well I'll let you get back to your boys. I need to find my girls anyway" She told him.
"Jill!" Jill's friends all called from the front entrance to the school.
"Guess I found them." She said with a laugh.
"Bye Seville" Matt said before he threw the football to one of his friends and ran to join them.
Jill turned back to her mom and aunts. "Bye guys" She said as she hugged each of them.
"So who's this Matt guy?" Brittney asked.
"No one Mom, you're worse than Dad." She complained.
"Alright fine have a good day" Brittney said before she gave her daughter one last hug.
"Bye Mom!" She called before she ran to join her friends at the entrance.
Eleanor headed towards her bedroom at night. Everyone else was asleep and Eleanor wet to go get a drink of water.
Alvin came out of the darkness. "Eleanor I need to ask you something"
"What do you need" Eleanor asked.
Alvin shifted uncomfortably. "Well I need a girl's opinion on something, and you're a girl so…"
"Thanks for noticing" She said dryly.
"What do you think of this?" He asked as he pulled out a small velvet box and flipped the lid open to reveal a ring much bigger than Jeanette's.
"Alvin I'm sorry but my heart belongs to Theodore" She giggled.
"Seriously El" Alvin said.
"It's beautiful Alvin, she's a lucky girl" Eleanor told him.
Alvin sighed and looked at the ring. "I'm the lucky one. I found a girl that is smart, beautiful, funny, fashionable, and a great mom."
"Good luck Alvin" Eleanor said before she left him alone in the hallway and went to her room thinking. "When will I get the rock?"
