Chapter 20! Can you believe it? Now things are really are going to start getting good. CGI Movie Version
We Must Find Them
Now back in L.A at the same day and time at the Shiba house, Jayden was thinking about Brittany, and Alvin as well. Jayden was in his room. He then left his room and went outside the house where all the other rangers were. Antonio was cooking lunch on a grill.
"Hey Jayden! You arrived just in time. The burgers are almost ready!" said Antonio.
Jayden didn't say anything.
"Jayden, what's wrong?" asked Antonio.
"I...I was just thinking." said Jayden slowly.
"About?"
Jayden sighed.
"Brittany."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Jayden.
"Jayden, I'm sure she's fine." said Kevin.
"Yeah, but what if she's not? What if she's hurt or she's been separated from Alvin?!"
"Jayden, relax. She has Alvin and one of her two sisters with her. She's fine." said Kevin.
"Yeah, Jayden sit down and eat lunch with us." said Emily.
"Alright."
Jayden sat in a chair next to Kevin and Emily. Antonio finished cooking and served the food. After they all ate their lunch, they went back to their daily training and other activities. Jayden remained in his room for most of the day. He laid in his bed and fell asleep. He began dreaming about Brittany. Back in Flagstaff, now for those of you wondering why Flagstaff, let me tell you. I actually live in Arizona, and Flagstaff is actually my favorite city to go visit. That is why I chose that city. It's a personal reason. Now back to the story. Brittany and Jeanette continued to walk down the streets. Then a weird, uncomfortable feeling was felt inside of Brittany's stomach. She stopped walking and placed both of her paws over her stomach area. Jeanette turned around and looked at Brittany.
"Britt, are you okay?"
"No, I feel...nauseated."
"Nauseated? Oh no."
Then Brittany ran off to a bush nearby and started vomiting. When she finished she started to cry a little from the awful taste of the vomit. Jeanette walked over to her.
"Jeanette, why..why did I just throw up? I don't think I ate anything earlier that could've made me do this." said Brittany.
"I don't think this was caused by food." said Jeanette.
"Then what could've caused this?"
"It's called morning sickness. It's all due to your pregnancy. I was wondering when you would first experience it, but now I know."
"Oh great."
Brittany stood up.
"Are you alright?" asked Jeanette.
"Yeah. I'm alright now." said Brittany.
"Do you want to go back to the motel?"
"Yeah, I probably should. I don't feel to well."
"Okay, let's go then. But walk slowly Britt, that way you don't upset your stomach too much."
Jeanette helped Brittany back to the motel. She opened the door and Brittany slowly walked in. Then Jeanette closed the door and helped Brittany lie down the bed. But then Brittany quickly jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom. She vomited in the toilet. When she finished, she flushed it and return to the bed. Which was hard for her, because just about all of her energy was about drained from her body.
"Do you need anything?" asked Jeanette.
"No Jeanette. Thank you. I just need to lay here and rest." said Brittany weakly.
"Okay. Then I'll leave you be."
Jeanette kissed Brittany on the cheek then she laid next to her. Brittany quickly fell asleep. She began to dream about someone she hasn't seen in a long time, Jayden. Wait! Jayden is dreaming about Brittany, and Brittany is dreaming about Jayden. Wow, coincidence. Brittany slept for the next two hours. Jeanette slept too. Then Brittany woke up.
"He's probably really missing me. Just like I miss him." she said.
"Miss who?" asked Jeanette.
Jeanette woke up shortly before Brittany.
"Jayden. I was dreaming about him." said Brittany.
"Just now?" asked Jeanette.
"Yeah. I miss him so much."
"I'm sure he misses you too Britt."
Jeanette laid close to Brittany and hugged her and rubbed her back. Brittany was crying softly. At the Seville house, Dave and the three remaining chipmunks, Simon, Theodore and Eleanor all finally felt bad for how they treated Brittany. They were sitting in the living room trying to figure out where Alvin, Brittany and Jeanette are. Dave sighed.
"Where could they be?" he asked no one in particular.
"Do you think they could still be here in California?" asked Simon.
"I don't know." replied Dave.
"Well who was the last person that saw them? They must know something." said Eleanor.
"I don't know." said Dave.
They all continued to sit and think. Then Dave got an idea.
"I think I might know who the last person was that saw Brittany."
"Who?" asked Eleanor.
"That one kid. The one who brought Brittany here? And I think he was also the one with Brittany when she found out she was pregnant. What's his name?" asked Dave.
"Hmm, oh! I think it's Jayden." said Simon.
"Yes! That's his name! We need to talk to him. Maybe he knows something that we don't." said Dave.
"Hopefully. But where can we find him? We don't even know where he lives." said Simon.
"Your right we don't." said Dave.
There was a brief time of silence. Everyone was thinking.
"I have an idea." said Eleanor.
"What is it?" asked Simon.
"Well, it's not the best thing to do, but it might work." said Eleanor.
"Well what is it?" asked Simon.
"We could...look through Brittany's stuff. Maybe there's a clue to where she, Alvin and Jeanette went. I know it's not a nice thing to do, but."
"Let's do it." said Dave.
They all entered the chipmunk's room and went to Brittany's area. They looked through just about everything of Brittany's. They knew it was wrong, but there's a saying we all know: desperate times call for desperate measures. Simon was looking through a drawer in Brittany's end table. He found a little notebook. He flipped through the pages and then found something.
"Guys! I found something." said Simon.
Dave, Eleanor and Theodore quickly ran over to him.
"What do you got?" asked Dave.
"A notebook, and inside is a written address to someplace." said Simon.
He handed Dave the notebook. He looked at the address.
"Let's look it up." he said.
They all went to his computer and Dave searched the address online.
"It's someone's house. A very nice looking one." said Theodore.
"Indeed it is." said Simon.
Dave printed the directions to the house.
"Come one guys, we're going to go over there right now."
Dave grabbed his car keys and Simon, Theodore and Eleanor followed him outside. Dave locked the house then open a car door so the three could get inside. Then Dave closed the door and went to the his side. He started the car and drove off to the address. They arrived at the house within ten minutes. Dave parked the car outside. The all got out and looked at a big gate that was wide open.
"Come on." said Dave.
They walked into the front yard and saw Kevin, Mike, Mia, Emily and Antonio practicing. Yup, they were at the Shiba House. Mia quickly noticed and walked over to them.
"Hey your Dave, right?" asked Mia.
"Yes, is Jayden here? I need to talk to him about something really important." said Dave.
"Yeah. He's inside. I'll get him." said Mia.
"Thank you." said Dave.
Mia went inside the house to get Jayden. Jayden was still sleeping. Mia open the door and walked over to him.
"Jayden. Jayden! Wake up!"
Jayden opened his eyes and sat up.
"Mia. What's wrong? Is there a Nighlok attack?"
"No Jayden. Nothing's wrong."
"Oh okay."
Jayden sat on the edge of his bed. Mia sat next to him.
"Are you okay Jayden?"
"Yeah. It's just I was dreaming."
"What were you dreaming about? If you don't mind me asking."
"It's fine. I was dreaming about Brittany."
"Brittany?"
"Yeah, remember her?" asked Jayden.
"Yeah I do. Why were you dreaming about her?" asked Mia.
"Because I miss her. I really do. But anyway, what's up? Why did you wake me up?"
"Oh, because someone is here to see you. They're waiting outside."
"Oh okay."
Jayden and Mia went outside. They both saw Dave, Simon, Theodore and Eleanor waiting.
"Dave?" said Jayden.
"Yes, Jayden." said Dave.
"Yeah, can I help you?" asked Jayden.
"I hope you can. I'm here to speak to you about Brittany."
That got Jayden's attention.
"What about Brittany?" asked Jayden.
"Well, since she, Alvin and Jeanette are still gone, I'm wondering, do you have any idea where they all could've gone?" asked Dave.
"No I don't."
"Are you sure? Brittany didn't say anything or maybe did she contact you, or anything?" asked Simon.
"No, she didn't." said Jayden.
"Well when was the last time you two saw each other?" asked Simon.
"It was the day she left your house." said Jayden.
"Okay, what did she say?" asked Dave.
"She thanked me for everything I did for her and she said goodbye. We hugged and she went on her way."
"Well did she say where she was going?"
"No. I asked her that. And she told me that she was going to a place where she felt like she belonged."
Dave sighed.
"And that could be anywhere." said Dave.
"I'm really sorry Dave. I wish I could be more of a help, but I just told you everything. But have you tried calling her, Alvin or Jeanette?"
"Yeah, we tried that." said Dave.
"And?"
"We couldn't get through."
"What do you mean?"
"They blocked our numbers. We can't call them." said Simon.
"What about you Jayden? Have you tried calling them?" asked Dave.
"I can't. I don't have their numbers. I gave Brittany mine, but she never called me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not being any help. Honestly, I told you all I know." said Jayden.
"Thank you Jayden. And if you hear anything or if you see them, let us know." said Dave.
"Of course." said Jayden.
"Come on guys, let's go home." said Dave to the three chipmunks.
They followed Dave to the car. They all got in and left. Jayden sighed. Mia put her hand on his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"A little, yeah. But I won't be fully okay until I know that Brittany is alright. Well her and Alvin and Jeanette." he said.
Then an idea came to Jayden's mind.
"Mia, we should look for them."
"What?"
"Yeah. I mean we're going to have to. We can't just sit around doing nothing about this. We got to take action."
"But Jayden, we don't even know where to start looking. They could be anywhere."
"Yeah. But I think we can do it. We can find them."
"Now hold on Jayden. You keep saying 'we' a lot. We do you mean by 'we'?"
"We is you and me. Just the two of us, together."
"Alright, when should we start looking?" asked Mia.
"I was thinking we could leave early tomorrow morning. Is that okay?" asked Jayden.
"It's fine. I don't mind. But we have to come back."
"Of course."
Mia went back inside. Jayden sat in a chair outside thinking.
"Brittany, where could she be? Think Jayden, if you were a chipmunk, and you ran away, where would you go? Oh! A forest! Of course! Chipmunks likes trees, so maybe she and the others went to a forest. Alright, I got locate the nearest forest from here. That would be a good place to start looking."
Later in the evening and back in Flagstaff, Alvin returned home from his work with dinner. Jeanette woke up to the door shutting. Brittany was still asleep. Alvin jumped onto the bed.
"Hey girls, I'm back."
"Hey Alvin." greeted Jeanette.
She crawled over to him and hugged him. Alvin hugged her back.
"Hi Jeanette."
Jeanette let go of Alvin and he noticed Brittany still asleep.
"Is she okay?" he asked.
"Well, she had a rough time earlier." said Jeanette.
"What happened?" asked Alvin.
"She threw up, twice."
"What?"
"Yeah."
"From what?"
"It's all related to her pregnancy."
"Oh."
Alvin laid down next to Brittany. He then put his arms around her and held her close to him. Brittany opened her eyes.
"Hi Alvin." Brittany said softly.
"Hi Britt. How are you feeling right now?"
"I'm okay."
"That's good. Jeanette just told me what happened to you earlier."
"Did she?"
"Yeah. I'm glad your alright."
"Yeah, me too."
Alvin kissed Brittany on her cheek. Then he carefully laid her back down. Then he slowly backed away to Jeanette.
"Well, one thing's for sure, she better do any more fighting for a long time. Or at least after she gives birth." said Alvin.
"That's what I told her. Now, I think she should just stay here from now on." said Jeanette.
"That's probably a good idea. I trust you Jeanette. I know you'll do the right thing in helping Britt."
"Thanks Alvin. I will."
"Now I brought dinner, like I do every time, are you hungry?"
"Yeah."
Alvin and Jeanette began eating their food. Brittany got up and jumped off the bed. The sound of Brittany landing on the floor made Jeanette run over to her.
"Britt! You shouldn't be doing that. It could hurt you stomach." said Jeanette.
"Calm down Jeanette. I'm fine. Really I am. I'm just hungry. I haven't ate much all day."
"Right. Well come over here. Your food is ready."
Jeanette held onto one of Brittany's paws and walked her to her food. Brittany sat down next to Alvin. And Jeanette sat next to Brittany.
"Thanks Jeanette." said Brittany.
"Your welcome Britt." said Jeanette.
They all ate their dinner together and then went to bed. Like every night, the lights were completely off. The only light illuminating the room was the LED lights from the TV. Then later in the night around 4:00 am, Brittany woke up to a nauseating feeling. She jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom and vomited in the toilet.
"This is horrible. I...I can't keep doing this. This is so horrible."
Brittany then felt sharp pains in her stomach. She screamed in pain. The sound of it woke Alvin and Jeanette.
"Did you hear that?" asked Jeanette.
"Yeah." said Alvin.
"Alvin! Jeanette! Please, help me!" yelled Brittany.
"She's in the bathroom." said Alvin.
Alvin and Jeanette sprinted to the bathroom. Alvin jumped up into the counter and turned on the lights. He and Jeanette saw Brittany laying down on the floor by the toilet with her paws over her stomach. Alvin jumped down to the floor and he and Jeanette went over to Brittany.
"Britt, what's going on?" asked Alvin.
"A lot right now! My head and stomach hurts really bad right now. And I just threw up."
Alvin and Jeanette laid closely to Brittany.
"Guys, I don't think I can take this much longer. Jeanette, can you bring my my phone?" asked Brittany.
"Yeah of course." said Jeanette.
Jeanette went and grabbed her phone and brought it back to her.
"Thanks Jeanette."
"Your welcome."
"So what are you going to do now?" asked Alvin.
Brittany sighed.
"Guys, like I said, I can't take this much longer. I need help." said Brittany.
"Well we're helping you the best we can." said Alvin.
"I know that. But I need some more help. Something is going on with me. I need to see a doctor. Or in my case, a veterinarian." said Brittany.
"A veterinarian?" asked Jeanette.
"Yes." said Brittany.
"But Britt, we already know what's going on with you. Your pregnant." said Alvin.
"I know that! You think I don't know that?! Look! What I'm trying to say is that I need to see a vet so they can tell me when I'll give birth!" yelled Brittany.
"And how do you suppose we do that? Does this city even have a pet hospital?" asked Alvin.
"That's what I'm going to find out." said Brittany.
She opened her phone and searched for pet hospitals.
"Okay, there is one not to far from here. They open at 7:00 am. But here's the problem, I don't think we can just walk in there. We need a human to take us there." said Brittany.
"And who is going to do that? We don't know anyone here." said Alvin.
"I know that Alvin! Please, don't make me yell. My head really hurts right now. I have a headache." said Brittany.
"I'm sorry Britt. I didn't mean for you to."
"It's okay Alvin. I know you didn't. Now, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to call someone. Someone who has helped me before."
"Who?" asked Jeanette.
"Jayden." said Brittany.
Both Alvin and Jeanette were stunned.
"Jayden? Britt, hold on. Now don't get me wrong here, I don't have any problems with him, but are you sure it's wise to call him and tell him where we're at?" asked Alvin.
"Alvin, I trust him. I know he'll be able to keep a secret. Besides, he's the only one right now that can help me. Trust me Alvin. I know what I'm doing." said Brittany.
Alvin sighed.
"Alright Britt. I trust you."
"Thank you Alvin."
She sat up and dialed Jayden's number for the first time. Back at the Shiba house, in Jayden's room, Jayden was already up. But he hasn't been up for long. He was on his laptop reading facts about chipmunks on the Internet. Then he heard his Samuraizer ring.
"Now who would be calling at this time in the morning?" he asked himself.
He picked it up and answered the call.
"Hello?" he said unsurely.
"Jayden?" asked Brittany.
"Yeah, who is this?"
"It's me, Brittany."
Jayden's eyes widened.
"Brittany? Is that really you?"
"Yes it's me."
"Oh my gosh, it's about time you called me. How are you? Are you with Alvin and Jeanette?"
"I'm fine. And yes, they're here with me. Listen Jayden, I need your help."
"Of course. I'll do anything for you. What can I do?"
"I need you to come over here and take me to a pet hospital."
"A pet hospital?"
"Yes, I've been experiencing some morning sickness and some stomach pains. I need to see a vet to make sure everything is alright with my baby. If I tell you where I am, will you promise to keep it a secret?"
"Of course Brittany."
"I mean it Jayden. You have to keep it a secret. Do not tell anyone. No one. Understand?"
"Yes Brittany. I promise, I'll keep it a secret. You can trust me Brittany."
"Okay. Alvin, Jeanette and I are in a city called Flagstaff."
"Flagstaff? Never heard of it. Where is that?"
"It's in the state Arizona."
"Your in Arizona?"
"Yes."
"Alright, when do you want me to be over there?"
"As soon as possible Jayden. If you can."
"Of course. I'll leave right away."
"Really?"
"Yes. Brittany, you hold tight. Okay? I'll be there."
"Okay, thanks Jayden. I owe you."
"You can owe me by being alright and giving birth to a healthy baby."
"I'm sure that'll happen soon. Bye."
"Bye."
The call ended and Brittany sighed.
"Everything is going to be alright." she said.
"I know." said Jeanette.
"So when will he be here?" asked Alvin.
"He didn't say, but he did say he'll leave right away. I think he's going to take his Zord." said Brittany.
Luckily for Jayden, he was already dressed. He grabbed his Samuraizer and quietly headed for the front door. But then he stopped.
"Wait wait. My Zord can't fly. I need a Zord that can fly. I got it! Mia's Zord. Her's can fly." he said quietly to himself.
He went to Mia's room. He saw her still sleeping. He walked over to her and gently shook her.
"Mia. Mia wake up."
Mia opened her eyes.
"Jayden? What is it?"
"I need you to get up and get dressed."
"Why?"
"Because, I know where Brittany is."
"You do?"
"Yes. She called me a short time ago. She needs me. But I can't get to where she's at quick enough. I need you to fly me to her location using your Zord."
"To where?"
"I'll tell you after you get dressed. Now hurry."
"Alright."
Jayden left the room. Mia quickly got dressed and they both left the Shiba house.
"So where do we need to go?" asked Mia.
"Brittany said she's in a city called Flagstaff. It's in Arizona." said Jayden.
"Flagstaff? I never even heard of that."
"I don't think any of us here has. Now, I have the directions, can you fly us there with your Turtle Zord?"
"Yes I can."
"Good. Now let's go."
Back with the Brittany, Alvin and Jeanette, Brittany started to feel better. She was able to get back into bed with Alvin and Jeanette's help.
"Thanks you two. For helping me." said Brittany.
"Britt, we would do anything for you." said Alvin.
"Yeah, we'll always be here for you." said Jeanette.
Brittany smiled. A few hours later, the three were all awakened to the sound of Brittany's phone ringing. It was Jayden calling. Brittany answered it.
"Jayden?"
"Hey Brittany, I'm nearing Flagstaff. Now where are you?"
"Okay, I'm in the southern part of the city. I'm in a Motel 6."
"Motel 6?"
"It's a long story. I'll tell you about it later."
"Okay what room number are you at?"
"I'm in room 125."
"Okay Brittany. I'll be there shortly."
"Thanks Jayden."
She hung up.
"So he's almost here?" asked Jeanette.
"Yeah." said Brittany.
Later they all heard a knocking sound at the door. And it scared Jeanette.
"What was that?" she asked.
"It must be Jayden." said Brittany.
She went over to the door and opened it. She looked up and there he was.
"Jayden."
"Brittany."
They both smiled at each other. Jayden kneeled down. They both hugged each other.
"Oh Brittany, I'm so glad to see that your alright."
"I am Jayden."
Then Brittany saw Mia standing beside Jayden.
"Jayden, you promised you wouldn't tell anyone. And yet you did." said Brittany.
"I know Brittany, but I needed to. Her Zord was the fastest way to get here. Her Zord flies, mine doesn't. But I swear, she is the only other person that knows."
"Really?"
"Yes, Brittany I promise. Nobody else knows. And I promise, I won't tell anyone and I'm also here to help you Brittany." said Mia.
"Okay. Okay I believe you both. Please come inside." said Brittany.
Jayden stood up and he and Mia walked in. Brittany closed the door.
"So this is where you're all living now? And here I thought you would be living in a forest." said Jayden.
"Well, that was the reason why I wanted to be here. Flagstaff has such a nice forests surrounding it."
"I seen that."
Jayden looked at Alvin.
"Hey Alvin. Good to see you again"
"Hey Jayden. It's good to see you."
Then Jayden saw Jeanette.
"Jeanette. How are you?"
"I'm good Jayden, thank you." said Jeanette.
"That's good. Alright Brittany, I'm afraid our visit here will have to be short." said Jayden.
"Why?" asked Brittany.
"Because, no one knows that Mia and I left. So as soon as We're done taking you to the vet, we're going to have to go."
"Okay, well let's go right now. I'm ready." said Brittany.
"And so are we." said Jeanette.
"Okay, then let's go." said Jayden.
Jayden picked up Brittany. And Mia picked up Alvin and Jeanette. They left the motel and quickly arrived at the pet hospital. Sharp pains were back in Brittany's stomach. Brittany was placed on a examination table. Jayden and Mia both sat on a small bench that was in the same room. Alvin sat on Mia's lap and Jeanette sat on Jayden's. Brittany was soon examined by a vet.
"Okay, we need to see what's going on inside of her." said the vet.
"And how are you going to do that?" asked Brittany.
"We'll set you up to have a ultrasound exam." said the vet.
"You mean, we'll be able to see inside my baby in me?" asked Brittany.
"Yes." said the vet.
"Then let's do it!" said Brittany.
"Wait wait wait! How much is this going to cost?" asked Jayden.
"Well lets see." said the vet.
The vet got on his computer and began typing from the keyboard and then looked at the screen.
"$55 even." said the vet.
"Jayden, we don't have to do it if that's too much." said Brittany.
"No Brittany, it's okay. This is your health and well being. It'll be worth it." said Jayden.
He looked at the vet.
"Let's do it."
"Alright, I'll tell my staff and we'll get everything set up. Wait here and I'll come back when we're ready." said the vet.
The vet left the room.
"Thanks Jayden. I really owe you." said Brittany.
"Like I said before, you can owe me by giving birth to a healthy baby."
Brittany smiled.
