High School Drama

Ch 13

"Winter Break pt 1"

The week before mid-terms the Chipmunks and Chipettes had a concert. The entire week they struggled with their schedules juggling schoolwork and rehearsals. Alvin had a term paper due, Simon had a huge science fair coming up, and Theodore had a cook off because in his home economics class he had the highest score.

As for the Chipettes they all had term papers due. The bell rang and Brittany dashed from her 4th hour to meet Alvin by his locker. She over heard a bunch of chipmunks fans talking about the concert tonight and which of the girls would be lucky enough to get picked out of the front row by Alvin to sing to. She shook her head and went in her locker to grab her term paper topic.

'It never fails every time we have a concert I have to put up with these groupies dreaming about Alvin singing to them up on stage. Then have to pretend that it doesn't bother me though it really hurts deep inside. That's the only way to prevent myself from fighting with Alvin!'

At that moment Alvin appeared greeting Brittany with a kiss.

"Hey sweetie, what's the matter Britt? Talk to me please, how am I supposed to know what's bothering you if you won't talk to me? Brittany please don't be angry at me on a day we perform? I hate when you're angry at me when we perform?"

She sighed and responded.

"I'm not angry at you Alvie. It's just every time we have a concert your groupies talk about which of them will be lucky enough for you to sing to them. Mind you they talk loud enough for me to hear them hoping I'll get angry at you and dump you!"

He looked and stared into her ice blue eyes.

"Britt they can be happy all they want, but you are the one I hold in my arms after the show is over. Don't let them get to you; it's only one song! No more than 1 song. They are doing that on purpose to get you angry and jealous! Always remember you're with me and they are just fans that wish they were you."

At that she smiled.

"Oh Alvin I love you so much…Oh my we have to move our limo is here. Simon is signaling us to move. Alvin come on let's go."

He went in his locker and took out his term paper that he managed to start in 2nd hour today and stuck it in his book bag in one of his folders. Then he and Brittany ran out the door after they both locked up their lockers and got in the limo. Simon shook his head.

"You know we have a concert you two. Or did you both forget?"

Alvin glared.

"No we didn't forget Simon. I had to grab my term paper genius. Sorry I have to turn this in on Monday with my exam or I get an F. Though my grade is a C. If this term paper isn't turned in I get in trouble. So shut your trap and mind your own business brains! Sorry but I'm not about to spend my Winter Break grounded!"

Dave looked.

"Alvin and Simon enough. Can one night go by that you two actually get along? Or is that too much to ask? I mean it boys you're brothers not enemies!"

Alvin crossed his arms by his chest and put his I-Pod in his ears as they drove toward the Orpheum Theatre. Brittany rested her head on his shoulder and took one of his ear buds from his ears and stuck it in hers to listen to the music! He stroked her forehead gently and sighed.

They pulled up to the theatre and exited the limo carefully as the fans screamed and the cameras flashed. He put his shades on and Brittany followed behind him with her shades on. Her two sisters gripped Simon and Theodore as they also pushed through their adoring fans! Screams of Alvin I love you, Simon I love and Theodore we love you. Brittany we wish we were you…..We love you all!"

Brittany smiled and waved her hand as she stopped to sign autographs while Alvin did to, His brothers and her sisters also signed autographs. Dave stared into space.

"Alright boys and girls careful now! Lou and Andrew surround the Chipmunks and Chipettes as they sign autographs. Terry and Thomas also surround them…"

They listened to what Dave told them and watched as the Chipmunks and Chipettes sign autographs. Alvin was very cautious as the boys reached to grab Brittany into the crowd. He held her hand and glared at them. Then they gulped and just asked for her autograph. She giggled as his face turned red with jealousy cause one of the boys kissed her hand.

Finally the crowd started to get out of hand and the security guards pushed the fans back while two of them followed behind them as they entered the theatre. Brittany saw how angry Alvin was and ran after him.

"Alvin will you stop with the jealousy already! He only kissed my hand now you're over reacting! Alvin listen to me and calm that hot head of yours."

He sighed and stared.

"I was not jealous. I just didn't like the way he grabbed your hand so there. You're the jealous one not me. Anyway we have rehearsal to get to before my father grounds me! Brittany stop looking at me like that. I told you I was not jealous."

She stared and looked.

"Alvin why don't you just admit it that you're just as jealous as me when your fans grab you and try to kiss you with me standing right there. Stop denying it! You were ready to knock that guy out when he kissed my hand. I'm not going to argue with you now just admit it!"

He walked away and Brittany chased after him. They got in position and rehearsed the first song. She came in on her part and he backed away as she continued to rap her part. After the song ended he took a sip of his water and wiped the sweat from his brow under his cap. She tapped him and he wiped his bottle and handed it to her. She sipped it and stared.

"You're not the only one who knows how to rap Alvin. I think I did a very good job don't you?"

He looked and stared.

"It wasn't that bad but I'm the best so you still have to keep on practicing to rap just as good as me."

She laughed.

"Yea whatever you say Alvin. I learned from you so I am t also he best so there. Anyway what was the point of you singing that song? Are you trying to tell me something by any chance?"

He shook his head.

"Umm no what gave you that idea? It's only a song Brittany. You're up go on then. I'll be right there Brittany go on will you?"

He watched as she took her position and fixed her ear piece. Then he watched in a trance as she moved while she sang. Simon tapped him.

"Umm bro we're supposed to come in now. Hello earth to Alvin are you with us or in Dream land? Alvin snap out of it will you? "

He shook his head.

"Oh sorry Simon I was watching as she rehearsed. I'm fine now; let's get in position? Theodore will you come on already?"

Theodore took his position by his brothers and stared.

"I hope I get the steps right and don't mess up. Eleanor will kill me."

Alvin shook his head. Then they grabbed the girls and did the dance routine. As they danced Brittany continued to sing and gazed into his eyes as they danced together. He smiled back and she followed his lead as they moved across the stage."

The song ended and she smiled at him.

"I think we'll put on a great show tonight with all these songs we rehearsed today anyway. Oh Alvin do we get to relax this year or have to perform again?"

He smiled.

"No performing this year we get to have a winter break and relax."

She was so happy that she jumped on him and kissed him passionately. Dave showed up and she backed away.

"Oh hey Dave I was just giving Alvin a good luck kiss. We're done rehearsing and are going to watch the boys rehearse now. Come on Jenny and Elle. Good luck boys."

The three sisters sat down and watched as Alvin and his brothers rehearsed for the concert. She was also in a trance as he sang and moved across the stage with his guitar in his hands along with Simon and Theodore. After they finished rehearsing Alvin used a towel to wipe the sweat from his brow and sat down to take a rest. Brittany handed him water and smiled.

"Very good rehearsal. Here take this it'll make you feel better. You're so good looking and talented, I'm so glad you're all mine."

He smiled and took the water from her.

"Thank you I needed it, and I say the same bout you Britt! Come on we have to get in our dressing rooms before Dave yells. Simon and Theodore come on then and stop making out with the girls. There's plenty of time for that after we're done performing. See you in a bit babe."

She approached him and made sure Dave wasn't around.

"Alvin can I have a good luck kiss? You know so the show is a success?"
He smiled and stared into her ice blue eyes.

"Very well Britt. Come over here and let me give you that good luck kiss?"

She approached him and their lips met. Then he embraced her tightly and kissed her passionately. She embraced him and returned his approach. Then they broke apart and she followed her sisters into their dressing room. Alvin and his brothers also entered their dressing room and Alvin sat in his chair while the hair stylist played with his hair. After they finished with his hair he fixed his cap and his ear piece. Then he sprayed his cologne on and looked in the mirror.
