Asking for Help Part 6
The Test
Fifteen minutes later,
As Simon was about to meet his date in the park, Alvin and Theodore followed to see if the plan worked. As they hid behind a tree, they saw Simon frozen in place gapping at the girl who HAD to be the date as she was looking around for the traditional looking Simon Seville.
"How'd he land a girl like her?" Alvin whispered to Theodore
Simon took a deep breath.
"Okay Simon. You're an international rock star and you're a blood relative of Alvin Seville. That confidence has to be here somewhere" he said to himself before walking up to the girl
Meanwhile,
Brittany and Eleanor were spying on their sister as Jeanette was looking for her date. Suddenly, a young male chipmunk appeared and Brittany's jaw DROPPED
"How'd Jeanette land a guy like that?" Brittany asked Eleanor
Just then, Eleanor recalled Theodore's warning of how Simon had gone to Alvin for help to win a girl's heart and his suggestion that Simon and Jeanette were trying to win each other over.
Eleanor had to admit that if that was Simon walking up to Jeanette, when he didn't look like a nerd, he looked hot.
Meanwhile,
Simon walked up to Jeanette
"Jeanette?" he asked as if he couldn't believe that was her
She turned and jerked in shock
"Simon?" she asked quietly "Wow."
"I was about to say the same thing" he said looking her over.
Simutaniously, they looked away and closed their eyes
"International rock star" they whispered to themselves before turning to each other "Simon/Jeanette"
They laughed at the fact they had spoken at the same time.
"You first" Jeanette said
"No. You" Simon offered
"Okay" she said pulling out the bit of Brittany she had in her "I don't want to be friends anymore"
Before Simon could register what she was saying, she continued so he wouldn't get the wrong impression. "I want to be more. I've…I've like you Simon. For the longest time"
"I feel the same way" he told her "I just didn't think you'd want me as a boyfriend since most of the time, I'm rejected for Alvin"
"Alvin's a bit too egotistical for me. He and Brittany belong together" Jeanette said
"I hear that" Simon laughed before getting serious. "I also thought that you were more focused on school"
"No. the books were to help keep my mind off of the fact that I thought I didn't deserve you"
"Jeanette We're both in rock groups, we're both the middle child, and we're both nerds" he said before pausing and looking her over and then himself. Then he added. "Well…we don't LOOK like it now, but we are"
Over at Brittany and Eleanor,
"I wish I can hear them" Brittany said straining to hear the private conversation
At Alvin and Theodore,
"I wonder what they're saying" Alvin said
"They're laughing. That's a good thing"
With Simon and Jeanette,
"To think all this because of a misunderstanding" Jeanette laughed before looking confused. "What about your school work?"
"I just like to learn" Simon said. "It's the same with you and your books, Eleanor and her sports, Brittany and her hair, Theodore and his cooking, and Alvin with his moneymaking schemes"
"Looks like we have more in common than we thought" Jeanette giggled
Simon took a deep breath. It was the moment of truth
"Jeanette? Would you like to go to the museum tomorrow with me?"
"I'd love to" she said before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek causing Alvin's mouth to DROP (again)
"tomorrow at noon? I'll pick you up?"
"Sure" She said with a bit of a grin "Contacts optional, new confidence required"
"For both of us" he said as he returned the kiss causing Brittany's mouth to drop this time
"Should we tell our siblings they can stop spying now?" Jeanette asked
"Sure." Simon said
They turned to each pair of siblings
"Come on out you guys!" they chorused
Alvin and Theodore approached from behind Simon and Brittany and Eleanor appeared
"BRITTANY/ALVIN!" Alvin and Brittany exclaimed simultaneously "What are you doing here? Observing my brother/sister! JEANETTE/SIMON!"
"I like the look Simon" Eleanor said
"Same here Jeanette" Theodore said
"I don't believe this" Alvin mused
"I know. I dressed my sister up for a nerd"
"And I did the same to my…did you just call my brother a nerd?"
"Were you about to call my sister a nerd?"
"If the shoe fits."
As Brittany and Alvin started a classic argument, Simon and Jeanette just sighed at each other as did Theodore and Eleanor. The former two knew they were nerds and didn't let it bother them
"I have an idea" Eleanor suggested. "Let's all catch a movie and make it a double date. We can call Dave and Miss. Miller when we get to the Theater"
"Can I pick the movie?" Theodore asked as the group left the arguing twosome alone
"Sure Theodore" Jeanette said
"Hideous Harold Part XIII" Theodore said
Everyone froze and wondered if Theodore had REALLY suggested that. Suddenly, Simon realized just what Theodore was hinting at when his brother slipped his hand into Eleanor's hand.
"Sounds good to me" Simon said before whispering to Theodore. "You've been around Alvin too long"
"Should we offer?" Theodore asked
"Sure" Simon said before calling "Hey Alvin! If you get a chance to stop flirting, we're going to catch the new Hideous Harold Movie!"
"Flirting?" Alvin and Brittany chorused as the other four laughed and walked towards the movies
"What have we created?" Brittany asked
The End
A/N: I'm thinking of a sequel, but wait for the epilogue
