2 days later...

It's been two days since the anticipated interview. And ever since that, Alvin and Brittany have been feeling pretty good about themselves. They were proud of the way they handled it, and they weren't that annoyed with the media anymore. Sure, the frenzy about Melody was still pretty crazy, but Brittany and Alvin knew that it was okay to handle it because they wouldn't do any harm. The story would die down eventually. Alvin and Brittany, personally, kind of enjoyed all this attention. But there was one thing still in the way.

School.

Brittany came into the living room, sulking. "Ugh, school starts next week!"

"Yeah? Well that's better than staying in the house 24/7." Stated Jeanette. "It'd be good to get out. I mean, ever since we found out you were pregnant in June, things have gone a bit crazy since then."

Brittany rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Easy for you, Jeanette. You weren't pregnant this summer. And you love school."

"I agree with Brittany. School sucks. School is for people who don't have a career." Said Alvin, who had Melody in his lap.

Eleanor, Theodore, Simon and Jeanette stared at him.

"Hello? We have careers? Famous rock stars?" Said Alvin, flailing one arm in the air.

They continued to stare.

"Okay, that's getting kinda creepy now. Will you guys quit staring?" Asked Alvin.

"Wait. Did you just say you AGREED with Brittany? Since when do you two agree on stuff?" Joked Simon while Theodore, Eleanor and Jeanette laughed in the background.

Alvin rolled his eyes. "Since we had Melody."

Brittany sighed. "Claire? Is it really necessary for us to go to school? I mean, we're chipmunks for crying out loud!" She called.

Claire poked her head from the kitchen to the living room. "Yes Brittany. Dave wants you guys to go to school, so you're going to school."

"But why? It's not like we're gonna use all that stuff in the future. We already know what we're doing in the future. Jeez." Brittany sighed, slumping in her seat.

"Aw, cheer up Brittany. School isn't that bad. It's actually kinda fun." Said Eleanor, trying to make her big sister shut up about how much she hates school. "Y'know, with all the extra activities and stuff."

But before Brittany could answer her sister, Alvin started screaming in pain. "OWWWWW!"

Everyone turned to him to see what he was screaming about. Brittany gasped when she saw Melody biting Alvin's finger. "Oh my god! Mel! Let go of daddy's finger!" She gently squeezed Melody's cheeks so she could let go. "Alvin, you okay?"

Alvin winced in pain as he held the finger that his daughter tried to chew off. "OWWW MOTHER FU-"

"Alvin!" Brittany snapped. She hated it when he used swear words as profanity. She took the baby out of his arms. "Melody, what did you do? Are you still hungry?"

Melody giggled and reached up to touch Brittany's face. "Mommy!"

"We just fed you though." Brittany laughed. "Well, you can't eat daddy's finger."

Simon, Jeanette, Eleanor and Theodore tried to hold in their laughter, but they failed. Alvin gave each one of them bad looks. "It hurts damn it!"

Brittany bit her lip to prevent herself from laughing. "Alvin stop. Melody couldn't of bit you that bad! She's still a baby."

"She bit my finger really hard! She was practically ready to bite it off!" He sighed and looked at his daughter, who was innocently looking back at him like she did nothing wrong. "Can someone get Melody her pacifier please?" Alvin pleaded.

"Here." Said Eleanor. She handed the pacifier to Alvin, and he gave it to Melody.

"There, now you can't go around biting people anymore." Said Alvin. Then Melody climbed out of Brittany's lap and into Alvin's. Alvin sighed and hugged her. "But I can never stay mad at you."

Then Dave walked into the living room where all the chipmunks were. "Alvin? I got a phone call for you."

Alvin looked confused. "A phone call? From who?"

Dave sighed. "You better come. Brittany, I think you should come too."

"Um, alright. But who's calling?" Asked Brittany, with a look of curiosity to her face.

Dave sighed. "Ian Hawke."

"WHAT? What what what? What does he want?" Asked Alvin frantically.

"I don't know, but you better talk to him. He sounds pretty calm, so I think it's alright." Answered Dave. "He said it's important."

"Did you call him?" Asked Alvin, eyeing Dave suspiciously.

"What? No! I was in the room, on my laptop, then my phone rang, I answered it and it was Ian. Believe me, I was pretty shocked too. He said he wanted to talk to you." Said Dave.

"Dave! How could you even TALK to that guy? Hang up on him!" Brittany pleaded.

"I can't now. Come on guys, it's just Ian." Sighed Dave. He knew what Brittany and Alvin were going through. He hated Ian too, but it would be good for them to face the guy who started this all.

"Yeah, just Ian. The guy who tried to make the 6 of us enemies. The guy who locked us in a cage! The guy who made us work our tails off until we couldn't work any more! Yeah, it's just Ian." Alvin said, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah I know, but you wanna give him a piece of your mind, right?" Asked Dave. He knew he shouldn't of said that, but he figured that was the only way to get Alvin to talk to Ian. "Unless you wanna go talk to him in person."

"NO!" Shrieked Brittany. She tugged on Alvin's arm. "Whatever. Just go."

Alvin sighed. "Fine, fine." He handed Melody to Simon and he and Brittany followed Dave into his room. He saw Dave's cell phone on the desk. "Is he still there?"

Dave nodded. "Probably. Now, I don't want you to be too rude to him, okay? You don't want him spreading more things about you guys, right?"

"Wait, what? You're not gonna stay?" Asked Brittany.

Dave shook his head. "Nope. This is your guy's business, not mine." He stepped out of the room. "Alvin, no rude comments, okay?"

Alvin rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah. Whatever you say."

Then Dave closed the door behind him, leaving Brittany and Alvin alone with the phone. Brittany looked at him. "Well? What are you waiting for? Go answer it!"

Alvin sighed and jumped on the desk, followed by Brittany. He picked up the cell phone and put it to his ear. "Hello?"

"Uh, hey Alvin." Said the man on the other end. The man who was the mortal enemy. Brittany felt shivers go down her spine when she heard the ice cold voice.

"Oh, Ian. How's life in the dumps?" He asked, laughing.

Brittany shot him a bad look. She lightly slapped him. "Alvin! Dave said no rude-"

Alvin placed a finger on her lip to keep her from talking. Brittany pushed his hand away. Alvin glared at her, as he faced the phone the other way so Ian couldn't hear. "Can't you be quiet for just a second?" He sneered.

Brittany rolled her eyes. "Me? You have to cut the rude crap! Dave said so!"

Alvin rolled his eyes and ignored her. He went back to the phone. He put it on speaker so he and Brittany could hear.

"Uh. Nevermind. Listen, I was just...you see..." Ian stuttered, making Alvin roll his eyes. "I want to apologize."

"What?" Exclaimed Alvin in shock. Brittany had her mouth dropped open. "You wanna do what ?"

"Apologize." He repeated. "I was just so pissed that I was defeated by you and your brothers again, that it just got to me when I saw you and Brittany at the supermarket a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to get some kind of revenge."

"Revenge? For what? What did we ever do to you?" Asked Alvin.

"You know, when you rescued the Chipettes, leaving me with nothing. I wanted to see what would happen to you guys if you faced humiliation." Said Ian.

Alvin rolled his eyes. "You know, no matter what happened, even if you did get away with the girls, we'd still be able to track you down."

"But you did get away. That's why I wanted to humiliate you guys." Said Ian. "You won over me once, I couldn't let you do that to me again!"

"You know you're always gonna lose, Ian." Said Alvin, with venom in his voice.

Ian sighed. "I couldn't let you win again."

"Win? How do we win?" Asked Alvin.

"That time with the...cages." He said. Ian personally didn't want to go back to the days when his career was starting to spark. But those days were the days when the chipmunks ruined it all. "With you, and the Chipettes."

Alvin looked at Brittany. He turned back to the phone. "So you decided to tell the whole world about our daughter?"

There was a slight pause. "Well, that was the only way I could get revenge on you."

"Is revenge the only thing you think about?" Asked Alvin. He felt like he was dominating this conversation, and he wanted it to stay like that.

"Pretty much." Answered Ian.

"He's so stupid." Brittany whispered quietly, rolling her eyes.

"Well, your plan worked." Alvin answered him plainly.

"Yeah, but I decided to give up. I mean, what's the use of trying to ruin you guys? You guys are the most famous living things on earth, so there's no point in trying to do that because all it'll do is make you guys even more famous." Said Ian, somewhat annoyed.

Alvin rolled his eyes at that statement. "So is this all about the fame and money? Because we all know that you'll never have a career again."

Brittany shot him a bad look. Why couldn't he understand? What part of 'No rude comments' doesn't this chipmunk understand? Brittany sighed.

"Well, I-uh..." Ian stuttered.

"Face it Ian. You need us, but too bad. You lost that chance. And thank god you did." Said Alvin.

"That's what I mean. I'm stopping." Said Ian.

"Stopping?" Asked Alvin, a bit unsure what he meant about that.

"Well, yeah. It's humiliating me even more." Said Ian. "No matter how many times I try to ruin you reputations, I'm always the one who gets the humiliation. My ideas never go the way they're planned."

Alvin scoffed. "Yeah, we sorta noticed."

"Alvin, god!" Exclaimed Brittany.

"But w-why did you bother phoning us anyway?" Asked Alvin.

"I saw the interview on TV the other night. And it looked like you and Brittany weren't bothered by the whole frenzy at all. So I just gave up." Answered Ian.

"So you called us?" Asked Alvin. He was getting confused by this talk.

"Yeah, to apologize. I know it seems stupid for someone like me to do that, but I'm giving up on this whole plot to ruin you guys." Said Ian.

"Yeah? You did lock us in a cage. You locked my brothers and I in a cage, and you locked the Chipettes in a cage." Sneered Alvin.

"Exactly. You guys escaped. I told you, I'm giving up." Said Ian. He heard him take a deep sigh. "So, I'm sorry for all the things I've done to you, your brothers, and the Chipettes in the past. And to the baby chipmunk as well."

Brittany stared at Alvin. She didn't want him to forgive him. "So you're saying sorry because we're too good for you?" Asked Alvin, trying to make Ian sound like a complete idiot.

Ian sighed again. "Fine, if you put it that way, yeah. You're right."

"Well...uh, it's good to know that you finally came to your senses. Jerk." He said, saying the last part under his breath so only he and Brittany could hear. Brittany giggled.

"Yeah. I decided that I'm not really fit for the music world." Said Ian.

Alvin laughed. "You just figured that out NOW?"

"Yeah, I know. I wasted my time with all this. That's why I'm giving up on this. It isn't right for me." Answered Ian calmly. It sounded like he was actually telling the truth. Brittany and Alvin sorta had a hard time thinking he was sincere.

"So you're uh...surrendering?" Asked Alvin.

"Yeah, I guess." Answered Ian.

Brittany and Alvin looked at each other with dumbfounded expressions on their face.

"Is he serious?" Asked Brittany quietly.

Alvin shrugged. "I have no idea. I think so." He whispered. Then he turned back to the phone. "Uh, well, I'm glad you stopped. You had no luck trying to ruin our lives. So there's no point in trying again."

"I know, I know. You're not gonna hear from me for a long time." He said. There was a slight pause before Ian spoke again. "Well, I have to get going now. So, thanks for giving time to talk."

"Yeah, sure. Uh, thanks for calling?" Said Alvin, not sure if he really meant it.

"Sure. So, bye. Good luck in the uh...future." Said Ian, trying to sound nice.

"Yeah, good luck in life." Alvin said, rolling his eyes. Then he hung up.

Brittany gasped. "You hung up? Just like that? That was rude, Alvin."

Alvin shrugged. "It's Ian Hawke. As if I care."

Brittany sighed. "Okay, so that talk wasn't that bad. It wasn't as bad as I expected at least."

"I know. I mean, I'm not sure if that's the same Ian Hawke that tried to kidnap us. Didn't he sound a bit too...nice to you?" Said Alvin, trying to find the right word.

"I know! I was thinking that same thing too." Said Brittany, sitting down on the bed. She sighed and hugged her knees.

"Aren't you getting a little suspicious though? I mean, why would he say that?" Asked Alvin.

"Suspicious? I'm not. Why would Ian Hawke call us and tell us how much of an idiot he's been? We both know him, and he wouldn't do that." Answered Brittany.

Alvin sat beside her. "I guess he really is gonna give up. I mean, he never does anything right anyway."

"Yeah. Well, at least we confronted him. At least it's out of the way now." Said Brittany. "Thank goodness for that. We should be happy."

Alvin nodded. "But it'd be better if we could expose him. Like, tell everyone that it was him that spilled the secret. Like, more revenge. We could ruin his life even more!"

"Alvin, no! This thing between us and Ian is over now! Please don't start anything else! Ian's trying to be...good. Didn't you hear him? He's tired of failing. Let's just let this thing go. We don't need another fight with him again. Just drop it." Exclaimed Brittany.

Alvin laughed really hard. "Jeez, I was just kidding Britt." He said, crawling over to her. He gently pushed her on her back.

Brittany gave him a weird look, but she still managed to keep it seductive. "What are you doing?"

Alvin raised his eyebrows. "Well, after that phone call, I think we should spend time together. And besides, we're alone." He said, devilishly wiggling his eyebrows. He hovered over her.

She reached up to give him a short but passionate kiss then said, "We might get caught. It's still daytime you know, and everyone is in the living room - including our daughter."

"I know, but who cares. They'll think we're still on the phone." He said, leaning in and giving her a long passionate kiss.

Brittany pulled away. "God, you just want to do this anywhere, don't you." She giggled.

"Hey, it's not only me. You do too." Said Alvin.

Brittany laughed and rolled her eyes, then pulled Alvin by his hoodie to kiss him again. It started as a slow kiss, but then it turned into a make out session.

Just as things started to get heated up even more, Brittany broke off from Alvin. "Oh my god. We can't do this here."

Alvin raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"

"We're in Dave's room! We can't make out here! That's just wrong!" Brittany exclaimed, laughing. She pushed Alvin off of her and sat up.

"Oh." Said Alvin. "Oh, ew. You're right." He shuddered.

Brittany laughed and pulled him on his feet. "Come on, let's tell the others what happened."

"Fine, but later, okay?" Asked Alvin, nudging her, giving her the look.

Brittany laughed. "Maybe." She said in a sing-song voice. Then she jumped off the bed and went straight to the living room.

Alvin rolled his eyes. "Fine..." He sighed, then he followed her into the living room to tell everyone what happened in the awkward phone call between him and Ian.

Ahahaha , I added that teeny little love scene just for fun XD I'm planning to add a bigger love scene in one of the upcoming chapters, but I'm not sure which one :P Maybe the last one? I dunno...LOL
