Oh look its a chapter!
Chapter two: Good mornings and good friends.
Theodore awoke to the sound of the shower going in the bathroom. The sunlight pierced the slightly opened blinds. Theodore sat up and looked around the room as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, his clothes were lying about the room. Theodore quickly grabbed his boxers an slipped them on. The sound of running water cut off and Jeanette came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, "Good morning", she said with a smile as she gathered her clothes from the floor and laid them out on the bed. "Good morning", Theodore smiled as his memory of the night prior came back to him. Theodore walked over to Jeanette and wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into a kiss, after a moment Theodore broke the kiss and looked into her green eyes, "I love you." Jeanette wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
There was a knock at the door and Alvin's voice could be heard from the other side, "Are you two up yet? We have to check out by eleven." Theodore looked at the clock and grimaced as it read 10:45, "Ya, we're up." "Well hurry we gotta go!", Theodore could practically hear the impatient look on Alvin's face. "We'll be out in just a minute", Theodore released his grip on Jeanette's waist. Jeanette sighed and removed her arms from Theodore's neck. "I guess we'll have to continue this later", Theodore said while putting his pants on. Jeanette nodded as she dropped her towel and began to get dressed.
After they got dressed the pair made their way into the hallway to find their siblings all waiting for them. " Jeanette come over here I want to talk to you!", Brittany waved her arm to get Jeanette's attention. "Theo, walk with us", Alvin put his arm around Theodore's shoulder and began to walk. Theodore looked back at Jeanette, who gave him a smile. Brittany and Eleanor waited for the boys to get far enough ahead of them that they would be out of ear shot before they began to ask Jeanette questions. "So how was it?", Brittany looked at Jeanette expectantly. Jeanette rolled her eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about..." Brittany smiled, "Come on I told you two about the first time Simon and I did it... Its the sister code." Jeanette looked to Eleanor hoping to find some support, "Sorry Jean I'm with Brittany on this one, we both told you about it. Its only fair. " Jeanette let out a sigh, "Okay..."
At the same time Alvin was giving Theodore the third degree, "Come on little bro spill it, did you?" Theodore fought to keep his face as emotionless as possible, "A gentleman never kisses and tells." Alvin rolled his eyes, "I'm not asking you if you kissed her!" Theodore kept quite. "Okay how about this if you did, just smile", Alvin watched Theodore's face like a hawk, knowing that Theodore would crack any second. Simon watched with a small smile. Theodore fought as hard as he could but he could feel his cheeks betraying him as soon as he thought about Jeanette. Alvin smiled from ear to ear and put out his hand, "High five little bro!" Theodore let out a sigh and slapped his hand against Alvin's.
The boys reached the elevator first and held the door as the chipettes caught up. Alvin pressed the button to take them to the lobby. The elevator was silent until Alvin let out a sigh, " This should be fun to explain to Dave." Simon chuckled, "Yes it should." The elevator dinged signaling that they had reached the ground floor. "We can come up with something if we work together, one for all and three for one right?", Theodore smiled.
**Two months later**
The crowed roared with applause as the graduates threw their caps into the air. "Congratulations class of 2010!", Mr, Clark's voice rang out over the speakers as the students all made their way to their families.
Miss Miller's eyes were filled with tears of joy and Dave stood with his arms open and smile on his face, "I'm so proud of you six!" The chipmunks and chipettes all ran over to them and the group shared a big group hug. "So what do you say we head home and get ready for the big graduation dinner?", Dave's voice was full of pride while he held onto the group.
**A hour later**
The clattering of silverware on plates was heard through out the restaurant. The group of eight was mid meal when Dave decide to start up a conversation, "Have you six put any thought into what you're going to do now that you're done with high school?" Simon swallowed the food he was chewing before answering, "I've already applied to and got accepted by an engineering school in San Francisco." Brittany smiled and wrapped her arms around Simon's right arm," I got into a preforming art school in San Francisco, so Simon and I can be close together", Brittany kissed Simon on the cheek.
Eleanor piped up next, "I'm still waiting to hear back from any of the schools I applied to." Alvin was suddenly very interested in his plate, "I'm still not sure what I'm going to do", Alvin glanced to Eleanor who smiled at him.
It was Theodore and Jeanette's turn to speak and they tried to at the same time, resulting in a giggle from both of them. "You go first, Teddy", Jeanette looked into Theodore's eyes waiting to hear his answer. Theodore nodded, "Well I got into the Le Cordon Bleu institution in San Francisco." The color faded from Jeanette's face. Theodore took note of Jeanette's expression, " Jeanette, whats wrong?" Jeanette regained her composure and smiled at Theodore, "Nothing, I just got a bad taste in my mouth for a second." Theodore knew Jeanette well enough to know that something was wrong but he smiled and figured he ask her later. "How about you Jeanette?", Dave had an eager tone in his voice. "Well I've gotten a few acceptance letters and I'm still making up my mind", Jeanette continued to eat.
**Later that night at the Chipette house**
Jeanette sat on her bed looking over the three letters with a pit in her stomach. There was a knock at the door, " Jeanette, its me Brittany can I come in?" "Ya", Jeanette watched as Brittany opened the door and closed it behind her as she walked over to Jeanette's bed and sat down. "Jen, whats wrong? You rushed up to your room when we got home", Brittany watched her sisters face in hopes of a clue as to what was wrong. Jeanette gathered up her letters and handed them to Brittany, "Read these." Brittany looked over the acceptance letters from three separate med schools across the country, "Ya these are some good schools whats the matter?" Jeanette let out a sigh and laid back onto her bed, "Look at where they are..." Brittany looked over the letters again and began to see what Jeanette was talking about, " Pennsylvania, New York and Texas... Jeanette, what are you going to do?" Jeanette rolled over and buried her face into her pillow, "I don't know. I was so caught up in moment I didn't even think about where Theodore was going to go...", her voice came out muffled.
Jeanette and Brittany's phones went off at the same time with a text message. They both grabbed their phones and read the message, it was the same. From Alvin, "Can you all come meet me in the park down the street, I have something I want to tell you all." Jeanette sat up and slid her legs off the bed, "That seems like it's important." Brittany got off of the bed and headed for the door, "Lets go."
**At the park**
Jeanette and Brittany had ran into Simon and Theodore along the way and walked with them to the park. When they reached the park they found Alvin siting on one of the tables with Eleanor holding him and crying softly. The air was tenses as they reached the table. "Whats wrong?", Brittany asked, concerned for her sister. Alvin took in a deep breath, "Well you know how at dinner, I said that I didn't know what I was going to do after high school? Well that wasn't true." Simon pressed his glasses to the bridge of his nose with his index finger, "Then what are you going to do?" Alvin took another deep breath, "I... I joined the army." The only noise heard in the park was Eleanor's quiet sobs into Alvin's chest.
