HI! First I would like to thank MissKitty23 for being my first reviewer and Unknown to love too! Here is to you guys! I know that this is a short-ish chapter but I will try to work harder to make longer ones. You guys deserve something for being so kind! Please, R&R and keep being nice. Thank you!

The concert was going well, no one got hurt, yet...Alvin...they were taking a short break to change clothes and to get ready for the next hour of the concert and the Chipetts were going to entertain the people 'til the 'munks are ready.

The boys were walking off stage, Alvin was the first off. He was grinning like mad and not looking to where he was going, a girl in the front row made it a point to try to hold his paw, and he kissed her finger. Nothing like good ego boost to make Alvin's day. Alvin was humming and not watching where he was going, yep, you guessed, he ran into Brittney who was walking out on to the stage.

"WATCH IT!" She shouted, Alvin backed away from the pink clothed Chipett. "Why don't you?" "Because you ran into me. " Brittney said. Alvin, being a bit more responsible than he was in his youth known he was in the wrong and apologized. Brittney, taken aback from way Alvin was acting carefully swallowed the insults she was about to use on him and instead turned the conversation in a civil manor. "So, How is the crowed?" Alvin grinned, "Well, they LOVE ME..." Britney glared, "and my brothers" Alvin added as afterthought. Brittney rolled her eyes. She knew Alvin would never fully change. '' So, if they loved you then they will more than love ME" "and they will give my sisters and I a standing ovation." she grinned and before Alvin could respond she said, "Now if you will excuse me, I can't keep my adoring fans waiting." she then walked onto the stage.

Alvin was left smoothing out his fur, as a way of anger managing so he wouldn't go out there and still the girls spotlight. It was like that an interviewer found him. He was busy with the interview, Theodor was off watching the stage hands work the lights, as he has been interred in that for a year or so, Simon was left to fend for himself. He was happy with this as it left him with enough time to think about, and plan his trip to the collage, and the work he would be doing there.

Simon was informed that he would not only be working some engineers but a student who was a year older than himself. He was confused by this, but also enticed. The only person his age he could have intellectual conversations with was Jennet, and she only wanted to be friends...since Dave adopted the girls as well, she thinks of the boys more as brothers.

But why a student? Simon wondered scratching his chin. He scampered to his travel bag to get the documents explaining about the project, and all of the people he would be working with. Pushing up his glasses, he scanned the page for what he was looking for.

"Cooper, M. Cassandra (Cassie) \par

Age: 19

Credentials: First year Engineering student, top of her high school class.

This is all the information they gave him, this was just enough information to confuse the bispectical Chipmunk.

((What makes her qualified?)) Simon wondered to himself.

He knew that to a point she was just as qualified as he, if not more, because she was working to achieve a major in Engineering. But HE was brilliant, he had several inventions under the preverbal belt that he did himself, and has worked on several more with big scientific teams. Simon was concerned with who was working on this because he would most likely be testing this on himself, what did this girl-Cassie have that made her important enough to work in this invention that would Change his life.

Oh, and change his life indeed. He felt that this would make everyone in his family's life much easier. He sat in a chipmunk sized armchair and rested. Closing his eyes he thought about why this invention was so important. ((Dave had such a hard time adopting us…

Simon closed his eyes to think back the almost six years ago when Dave first tried to adopt him and his brothers. Simon walked into the living room and saw a distraught Dave reading over some papers. "What's the matter, Dave?" Simon asked, he hated seeing his 'dad' looking so sad.

"Don't tell your brothers yet, but I don't think the adoption agency will let me adopt you guys."

Simon already knew why, but he had to ask one could say for conformation. "Why wouldn't they let you adopt us? We have lived with you for two years and the chipetts have been living with us for over 6 months were a happy family." Simon hardly ever got mad, but this is just unjust and that made him mad.

Dave sighed. He wasn't sure if he wanted to say this, it would hurt his son. "Because you're not human children." He said his voice void little emotion.

Simon's face fell, he knew that it was coming but, it didn't change the fact that it still hurt to hear it.

Opening his eyes the word still rang in his head. "You're not human children."

Simon remembers that Dave had his lawyer wright adoption papers that could be signed by the forest preserve as the adoption of 6 chipmunks; as pets.

"Pets," Simon said aloud in discuss, "not for much longer" he said smirking, fighting off the word 'yet' He then noticed Jennet called to him "Simon, time to go on, good luck…" she ended in a whisper. Simon smiled brightly at her as he walked over to the place to get his mike on. "Pets…" he mumbled as he adjusted the wires.

HAHAH I am evil, I only hinted around to what Simon is going to work on! But I guarantee if you stay with me for the next chapter it will be worth it!
