Based on characters from:Alvin and The Chipmunks. Created and owned by Bagdasarian Productions Inc.

At the Seville home..

"Your silvery beams.. Will bring love dreams...

We'll be cuddling soon! By the silvery moon!", sang Uncle Harry.

Alvin and his brothers clapped their hands.

Their Uncle had more talent as a singer. Than a con- munk.

"That's quiet a classy song; Uncle Harry!",said Simon.

He then said," I bet I can find an updated version of it on the web."

"We could play it at the wedding dance!",added Alvin.

"If you do that.. and play it well... I will take you out to get learner's permits...

To teach you to drive.. and loan you the roadster for your dates with the girls!", said Harry..

"It's a deal!", said the Chipmunks!

Harry looked at the time. It was almost 10 PM. Dave should be back by now.

Then as on cue he heard the car pull up.

He turned to the boys and said,"Did you remember to get the guest room ready as Dave asked?"

They nodded their heads in unison.

The front door opened.

In stepped a tall, unique looking, woman.

"Christine!", cried Harry.

She saw him and cried," Harold!"

She scooped him up and embraced him. "You look much better than I saw you last.", she said.

"I have you to thank! Your singing uplifted me. Helped me find courage. That courage helped me to find family and love!", replied Harry.

She placed him down and said,"Who are these fine gentlemen?

"They are my nephews. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore: The Chipmunks!", said Harry.

Christine got on her knees and extended her hand to them.

Alvin; (always a showboating), kissed it.

Simon shook her hand and momentarily froze when he saw her face.

Christine asked,"Something wrong?"

Simon blushed and shook his head.. He was awed by how her beauty reminded him of Jeanette.

Theodore,shook her hand and said,'"You're pretty. Are you an angel?"

Christine blushed. Then she kissed his brow and said,"No!; but I'll be one for you."

Dave stood at the door taking all this in.

The boys are enamored with her. The funny thing is so was he...

The next day

Vinny and the girls came for a visit. They were going to ring the doorbell, but stopped when they heard,

"How gentle is the rain.. That falls softly on the meadow...

Birds high up on the trees .. Serenade the clouds with their melodies... "

The group walked around to the backyard..

Harry greeted them and said,"Just in time ladies. This is Christine.

She needs your help in picking an appropriate songs for the wedding."

Christine approached and said,"Hello."

Then she froze at the sight of Jeanette.

Jeanette froze as well. Both simultaneously said ,"Amazing!"

Christine said,"I feel like I'm looking at my past!"

Jeanette said," I feel like I'm looking at my Future!"

The pair laughed and hugged.

Jeanette then said,"These are my sisters Brittany and Eleanor."

The pair smiled at her and said,"Hello."

Then they introduced her to Vinny. Who said,"You have a lovely voice dear. Please tell me what were you singing?"

"A Lover's Concerto.", was Christine's reply..

"Where do you come from?", asked the girls.

Christine paused a moment, held back tears and said,"I came from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

I came to California; after the tornadoes took away my family and friends."

She then fell to her knees and silently wept.

She then felt arms embracing her. The Chipettes and Vinny had found a sister in spirit. They all had lost loved ones.

Brittany said, "Don't cry Christine. From now on. You'll be our big sister. Right girls."

Jeanette and Eleanor agreed.

Harry,(who was also hugging her), now knew why she sang Amazing Grace.

To ease her pain. She had survived from near death too.

Dave couldn't help but overhear. He was preparing lemonade by the kitchen window.

"She's really brave. To be all by herself; after that horrible event. We are going to make her stay a pleasant one.", he thought to himself.
