Based on characters from: Alvin and The Chipmunks. Created and owned by: Bagdasarian Productions Inc.
The doorbell rang...
Harry open the door and saw The Chipettes standing in sweatsuits with slippers on their feet.
They looked a bit taller; yet they still had their cherub like faces.
They styled their hair in the usual manner. Yet they looked a little nervous and unsure.
"Come in girls. You're always welcome here.", Harry said with a smile.
The girls embraced him and said, "Thank you Uncle Harry!"
"You may have stretched a bit; but you are still little angels to me.", said Harry as he hugged them back.
The girls needed to hear this. They were a afraid; that they were no longer pretty.
This new experience had left them feeling self conscious.
Their chest ached from their new mantles of femininity.
The sharp nails on their hands made holding things difficult
and the long nails on their feet made wearing shoes painful, as well.
Miss Miller had called Wanda; to see if the manicurist was available.
They were going to have to wait!
"The boys will be back soon. I sent them to get a couple of pizzas.
If you need me I'll be in the laundry room.", said Harry.
Brittany and Jeanette went toward the living room.
Eleanor stayed in the kitchen.
She knew her little Teddy would be there soon.
Her sense of smell had become more acute than normal.
She smelled a scent tomatoes, celery, and sweet smelling strawberries.
Eleanor was hungry after the doctors examination.
This was because they didn't get a chance to eat.
She had some of the Strawberries.
Her claws punctured a couple and it leaked all over her hands.
Eleanor went to the sink to wash them.
One minute latter...
Theodore came in with the boxes of pizzas; and placed them on the table.
He turned around to see Eleanor. He said "Hi Elea..."
This couldn't be Eleanor. Her body was never this shapely.
She's wearing a Grey sweatsuit and what's that on her hands. It looks like..claws!
Eleanor then noticed him.
She smiled at him,as she swallowed her mouthful.
A bit of the strawberry juice dripped down the side of her mouth.
To Theodore it looked like something else.
The look on his face made Eleanor feel unattractive.
She broke down in tears; when he ran out of the kitchen.
Around the same time...
Alvin and Simon entered the living room. "I hope the girls are hungry.", said Simon
"I know I am.", chuckled Alvin.
Their girlfriends saw them and raced to them.
Jeanette tripped.
Simon went to catch her.
As he caught her. One of her nails tore into his sleeve and scratched him.
He then caught a strange smell in his nose. He suddenly went pale and stepped back.
Alvin, who embraced Brittany; felt something different.
He backed up saw that she was a bit taller than usual.
She was wearing a sweatsuit, and her hands had claws!..
The two brothers bumped into each other as they ran to their rooms.
They saw that Theodore was running up the stairs.
They grabbed him and hurried to their room, and locked the door.
" Those aren't our girlfriends! They are Monster women!", cried Alvin.
Around this time....
Harry came up from the laundry room. He had heard a great commotion; and had come up to see what happened.
He found Eleanor in the kitchen, on the floor, hugging her knees, and crying out,"Theodore thinks I'm ugly!"
He helped her up and took her to the living room.
There he found Brittany crying on the sofa and Jeanette weeping on the floor.
Harry said,"I'm sorry girls. I guess it's my fault. I should have told the boys; about your sudden changes."
A little latter...
Harry went to the boy's room and Knocked.
"Boys! It's me!.. Uncle Harry!", he said.
The door unlocked. Three hands grabbed Harry and pulled him in quickly.
"Did you see those Monster Women?",asked Alvin
"They were tall and had a strange scent.",Said Simon.
"Sharp, and scary claws.", said Theodore.
Harry laughed and said,"Yes. It was one silly movie wasn't it.?"
Alvin shook his head and said,"No. The ones downstairs are.."
"Your girlfriends... Who's hearts you three have just broken.", Harry said in a sad tone.
He then explained,"Remember how the girls made your mother shine on the beach.
By giving her a beautiful make over.
Mother nature is now doing the same for them; yet it happens in stages.
The girls are changing from pretty to beautiful.
Things look a little weird; but that is normal.
The scent you smelled is saying,"There's a beautiful girl growing here... Treat her with love."
Harry then opened the door and said,"Time to mend some broken hearts."
In the living room..
Brittany was weeping when she felt herself lifted and hugged by Alvin.
Jeanette felt her glasses being lifted. She looked up; and Simon' s lips met her's.
As Eleanor lay weeping on the love seat; she felt a gentle kiss on her cheek.
She looked up to see Theodore with a plate of heart shaped cookies to share.
As they quietly expressed their love; Harry took pictures for posterity.
True love understands..
