Hey guys! A little something before you read the chapter. The last chapter, I said stuff about someone copying my work. But now, that's over. IWubtheChipmunks and I have gotten things all settled down :D so no worries anymore...

As you can see, I changed the story's summary. I felt like it was time to change it, since the plot of the story is building up. Yeah, so...sorry for the late update, but I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

-2:00 PM, Sunday August 1-

One week later...

Dave walked out of his bedroom, grabbed his car keys from the kitchen counter, grabbed a light sweater from the rack, and made his way to the door.

Claire, who was sitting on the couch, looked at Dave. "Where are you going?"

"We're running low on food, so I figured that it's time to take another trip to the store. And besides, Eleanor and Theo are kinda forcing me to go to the store anyway." Answered Dave.

Claire eyed the sweater in Dave's hand. "Dave, it's 77ºF outside. You can't possibly need a sweater right now."

Dave shrugged. "Who knows? I might get cold."

Claire rolled her eyes. "Fine, fine."

Dave smiled, then looked at the chipmunks, who were sitting on the couches across from Claire. "Okay, are there any last minute things you want me to buy?"

"Toaster waffles!" Exclaimed Theodore.

"Theodore, we just bought toaster waffles - yesterday." Dave sighed. "Anything else?"

Then Brittany came up with an idea. "Dave?"

Dave looked at her. "Yeah?"

"Well, ever since Melody was born, she never stepped out of this house. So I think this will be a good opportunity for her to get out." Said Brittany. "So can we come with you?"

Dave looked at the pink clad chipette standing by his feet. "Uh, I don't know Brittany...we're trying to avoid public as much as possible right now. I don't think Melody is ready for the spotlight."

Brittany frowned. "Please Dave?"

Dave looked at Alvin, and sighed. "I dunno...Alvin?"

Alvin, who had Melody in his lap, looked up. "Yeah?"

"Do you think it's a good idea to let Melody out in public so soon?" Asked Dave.

Alvin shrugged. "I dunno. I mean, it only takes you like, an hour to go grocery shopping, so why not?"

Dave sighed. "Okay, fine. But once we get in there, we buy the things we need, then get out. I don't want the whole world finding out about Melody so soon."

"Don't worry Dave. No one's gonna find out. And besides, who goes to the grocery store, at 77ºF, on a sunny day like this?" Asked Alvin. "...besides you."

Dave rolled his eyes. "Whatever Alvin. Come on, let's get in the car."

Dave, Brittany, Alvin and Melody get inside Dave's car. Melody had never seen a car, let alone be in one. So the whole ride was a pretty cool experience for her. Once they arrive at the store, Dave gets a cart and lets Alvin, Brittany and Melody ride in it (Like the one in the first movie, where the boys are in the shopping cart, stocking up on waffles).

"Okay, milk, cheese..." Dave said, as he placed the needed dairy products in the cart. "...yogurt..."

"Ice cream!" Said Alvin.

"No." Dave answered simply.

"But it's sooo hot outside!" Complained Alvin.

"No, Alvin." Said Dave.

Alvin groaned. "You're no fun, Dave."

Dave ignored his son's comment, and made his way down to the fruits section. "Okay, guys stay here. I need to ask the clerk something."

"No problem, go ahead." Said Alvin, and Dave disappeared around the corner.

Brittany smiled at Melody, who was twisting and turning her head in every direction, amazed at the new place she was at. Brittany leaned over to Alvin. "She's so adorable."

Alvin laughed. "Of course she is. She's so much like me."

Brittany rolled her eyes. "You're just jealous that her first word was 'mommy'."

Alvin scoffed. "I don't care."

"Yeah you do."

"So?" Fired Alvin.

Brittany sighed and kissed Melody on the cheek. "I don't know how I'm gonna survive 6 hours of school everyday without you, Mel."

Alvin groaned. "School. Ugh, don't remind me."

"School starts next month." Said Brittany.

Alvin rolled his eyes. "Oh joy."

Brittany smiled. "Yeah, but the hard part of school will be leaving Melody at home."

"She'll be with Claire." Said Alvin.

"Yeah...but I'll miss her." Said Brittany, holding Melody close to her.

Melody snuggled up to Brittany, as if she was saying 'I love you' to her.

-

While Dave was talking to a person who worked at the store, there was a man in the isle next to the one Brittany, Alvin and Melody were. It was the vegetable section. The man had his own cart in front if him, and it was filled with different types of food. It was just a regular old shopping cart, with regular food in it. Typical right?

No. But the man was not just a regular man. He was pretty much a big part of the Chipmunk's and Chipette's lives. Not in a good way, in a bad way.

And that man, was Ian Hawke.

"Hmm, corn, tomatoes, beans...what else?" Ian wondered to himself as he walked along the isle. "Aha, potatoes." He placed a bag of potatoes in his cart. He looked at his shopping list. Next it said, 'fruits'.

Ian made his way to the fruits section, but stopped when he heard an oddly familiar voice.

"Melody, say daddy!" He heard a familiar squeaky voice say.

He heard a sigh, a girlish one. "Alvin, you're scaring her. Stop it."

"I'm not scaring her, Brittany. Maybe you are." He heard the first voice say.

"Shut up." He heard the more girlish voice say again.

Ian stood there, dead in his tracks. Those voices - why couldn't they leave him alone? Those voices were the reasons why he lost his Hollywood home, and everything else he had in his life. He couldn't believe his ears. "Brittany, Alvin." Ian sneered their names.

But one thing was on his mind. "But who's Melody?"

Ian let go of his cart, and slowly crept around the corner. And there they were. His worst enemies. He couldn't believe they were right in front of them. If they weren't in public, Ian just wanted to go over there and kidnap them, just like his two failed attempts in the past. They looked just the same, annoying and selfish. Still dressed up in red and pink. But Ian couldn't help but notice the small bundle of fur in Brittany's arms.

"Alvin, I love Melody more." Said Brittany.

"You don't know that. I love her more." Said Alvin.

"She's my daughter." Said Brittany.

"OUR daughter." Alvin said.

Brittany rolled her eyes and giggled. "I know, but still...I love her more."

Ian's mouth dropped open.

"Daughter? Since when?" He gasped. He leaned in closer to hear the two chipmunk's conversation again.

Brittany sighed. "I don't know how we're gonna introduce Melody to the public, Alvin. I'm kinda scared."

"Why are you scared?" Wondered Alvin.

"Alvin, we're only in high school. We're one of the most famous singers on the planet. We're teenagers, and we have a baby - a baby no one but our family knows about. Do I really have to go through this with you again? Or do you understand?" Said Brittany.

Alvin didn't directly answer her. "Yeah, I know. But the media will know about this soon...we can't keep her a secret any longer."

Brittany sighed. "Imagine what people will say at school."

"Yeah, I know." Alvin said. He imagined what the jocks, most likely Ryan, would say about this. But he shook it off. He didn't care about the jocks anymore - they were all stupid.

Melody touched Brittany's face. "Mommy?"

Brittany looked down at her and smiled. "Yes?"

Melody tilted her head.

Brittany sighed. "Mommy's just confused right now, Mel. But I'm fine."

Ian had his mouth wide open as he stared at the chipmunks. He couldn't believe that those two had a baby, one that they were keeping from the world. He was the one who introduced the Chipettes to the Chipmunks. If he hadn't enrolled Brittany, Eleanor, and Jeanette into West Eastman, they wouldn't of met the Chipmunks. And now, since Alvin and Brittany were together, they have a baby. Ian felt responsible for this, in a good way - in an evil way.

Ian chuckled darkly. "They didn't..." He said, but there wasn't any other way to have a baby. "They did."

He saw the baby chipmunk climb out of Brittany's arm, and into Alvin's arms. Ian stared in amazement. Not about Melody, but just about this whole thing. Alvin and Brittany, and a baby? Yeah, something you could expect from those two, but really...so soon? And the public don't know about this either, well, aside from Ian now.

"Hmm, I wonder what will happen once the public find out about Melody." Wondered Alvin.

Brittany sighed. "Then our lives are over."

Alvin sighed too. "Teen pregnancy, ugh."

Brittany rolled her eyes, and stole Melody from him. "Hey, you got me pregnant, so stop complaining."

"I'm not complaining." Muttered Alvin. "And besides, you talked me into doing it."

Brittany's mouth fell open. "WHAT? Alvin Seville, that is SUCH a lie! I'm not that type of person, uh, chipmunk, who would do that! You talked me into doing it with you, what are you talking about?"

Alvin rolled his eyes. "Please."

"Al-vin." Brittany muttered darkly between her teeth. "Can we stop talking about this?"

"Hey, you started it." Alvin chuckled.

"You're lucky I have our daughter in my arms, because if I didn't, you'd be dead right now." Brittany threatened him.

Alvin rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. I've heard that before."

"Ugh." Brittany sighed.

Ian continued to 'spy' on them. The words 'teen pregnancy' stood out. He smiled to himself. He had a plan. Then he heard a familiar voice. A very familiar voice.

"Okay, guys. All we need to do is check out, and go home." The man's voice said.

David Seville.

"Alrighty Dave." Answered Alvin.

Ian watched them as Dave - the man who use to be his best friend, the man who ruined his life - started to move the cart slowly as he talked to the chipmunks in the cart.

"So, how did Mel like the supermarket?" Dave asked.

"I'm sure she had fun." Brittany said, looking down at Melody.

"See Dave? We told you no one would see us." Said Alvin. "Melody is still safe and sound."

"Yeah, the public don't know about her, and they won't know about her for a long time." Said Brittany.

Dave had to agree, just a little bit. Alvin was right. Who goes to the supermarket in the middle of the summer, while it was blazing hot? Couldn't they just hang out at the pool or something? Dave hardly saw anyone while they were browsing through the isles.

Dave sighed. "Yeah, you guys are right."

Then Dave walked the cart all the way to the check out line, away from Ian.

Ian chuckled in an evil way. "Melody, get ready for the public." He said.

Ian left his cart in the middle of the store, and walked back to his car, frantically driving to the nearest Hollywood Gossip Center. He saw a guy, one that probably works there, because he automatically recognized Ian.

"Hey, you're Ian Hawke, right?" The man asked.

Ian nodded. "The one and only."

"You work with the Chipmunks, right?" The guy asked.

"Well, I use to." Ian answered.

"The Chipettes?" Asked the guy.

Ian sighed. "Listen, I don't care about them. Any of them."

The man didn't look impressed. He changed his mood all of a sudden. He crossed his arms and said, "Okay then, what do you want?"

"Oh, have I got news for you." Ian said.

After telling the whole story to the guy, who told it to some other people, who obviously spread it around to some other news headlines, and other Hollywood Gossip Centers, and Hollywood magazine companies, Ian felt like he was gaining his fame once again. He was being thanked for telling them the news.

Ian walked out of the building and smiled. He fixed the collar on his shirt and said to himself, "Ian Hawke is back."

Oh god, why does he have to ruin everything?

So what will Ian do? :P obvious answer...LOL
