I wont say which because that would be a spoiler but you have been warned. Second, this is the climax. That doesn't mean its the end there is one more after it. Alright I've talked enough. Read on and Enjoy.

Simon crossed out another day on his wall calendar. It was Friday which meant that he would have his glasses soon.

Simon grabbed some clothes from his dresser and headed for the shower.

As the warm water washed over his body Simon reflected on the past week. Since Alvin and he had gone public on Monday things had gone rather well he thought. Their friends has accepted them and for the most part everyone left them alone. There were some guys at school who had said some rather mean things to them but he just ignored them.

Simon turned off the shower and dried off. After brushing his teeth he got dressed and headed to the stairs to wait for Alvin to walk him down.

Alvin's alarm went off and he slammed his hand down on his bedside table to try and hit the snooze button but was met with only hard wood. Alvin's eyes shot open as he held his hand and winced from the pain.

Alvin looked around his room for the alarm finally seeing it on his dresser next to his door. Alvin let out a growl, "Simon!"

Alvin slid his legs over the edge of his bed and walked over to the clock and turned it off. He glanced back at his bed and thought about lying back down. Alvin shook his head, Well I'm already up...

Alvin walked into the hallway and saw Simon standing next to the stairs. He walked over to him, "Why did you move my clock?"

Simon chuckled, "Because I wanted to eat before we left for school and if you could hit the snooze button you would have waited until the last second to get up and get ready."

Alvin opened his mouth to protest but instead shrugged, "Fair enough."

Alvin gave Simon a quick peck on the lips and took his hand, "Now lets get you some food. The sooner you eat the sooner I can take a shower and get in a nap before school."

Simon rolled his eyes, "You're hopeless, Alvin."

Alvin nodded, "Ya but that's why you love me."

As soon as they reached the bottom of that stairs Alvin turned and ran back up. He almost bumped into Theodore at the top of the stairs.

Theodore managed to avoid his brother, "Sorry Alvin."

Alvin put his hand on on Theodore's shoulder, "Where are you off to in a hurry?"

Theodore, who was wearing gray sweatpants and a green tank top, smiled at his brother, "Well I'm trying to get into shape so Eleanor and Brittany are taking me on their morning and after school jogs with them. So I gotta get going."

Alvin smiled at his baby brother, "Cool, I'm proud of you Teddy. Now get going and don't forget a bottle of water."

Theodore nodded and headed to the kitchen.

Alvin quickly gathered his outfit for the day and headed to the bathroom.

After a quick shower Alvin joined Simon and Dave at the kitchen table for breakfast.

He poured himself a bowl of cereal and sat next to Simon. About halfway through his bowl Alvin decided to strike up a conversation, "So Simon, are you excited to get you glasses back?"

Simon, who had now mastered the art of eating while blind, put his spoon into his bowl of oatmeal, "Definitely, Its going to be nice to be able to see all of your faces again."

About ten minutes later Theodore came back from his jog. He slowly walked into the kitchen, panting, "Man... Those girls can... Move!" Theodore moved his arms through the air in a dramatic fashion to emphasize.

Theodore walked over to the fridge and pulled out another bottle of water and drank it all in one go.

Alvin smiled at his youngest brother, "So how do you feel?"

Theodore put his hand on his ribs and continued to pant, "Like... I'm... going to... die!"

Alvin nodded and Simon and Dave laughed. "That just means you're doing it right!", Alvin crossed his arms across his chest and nodded at his brother.

Theodore made his way out of the kitchen, "Now if you excuse me, I'm going to take a shower."

Alvin laughed.

School went relativity well, that is until just before lunch.

Alvin and Simon walked to lunch while holding hands. Alvin rolled his eyes when they walked past the same boys who had been taunting them all week.

There were three of them. The one that Alvin guessed was their leader was just little taller then Alvin. He had spiked brown hair and wore a plain black t-shirt and blue jeans. His two cronies, as Alvin had come to refer to them, stood next to him dressed almost exactly like him accept they both had shoulder length black hair, they came just up to his shoulders in height.

"Hey, Seville!", the leader called.

Alvin sighed and continued to walk, ignoring them as he had for the past few days.

"So which on of you wheres the pants?", he jeered from behind them.

Simon felt Alvin's hand tighten around his, "Just keep walking, Alvin", he tried to calm Alvin down.

The brown haired boy was getting annoyed, "Don't walk away while I'm talking to you, fag!"

Alvin froze where he stood.

Simon felt him let go of his hand, "Alvin, don't."

Alvin let out a low growl, "Its to late, Simon."

Alvin walked over to the three boys and got in the leader's face, "Whats your problem?"

The boy laughed, "You!"

"Oh ya? What did I do to you?", Alvin could hear his heartbeat in his ears now.

The boy laughed again, "You gayed up my school. That's what."

Alvin clenched his fists, "Why can't you just leave us alone?"

The boy could see Alvin was getting more and more angry and decided to try and push his buttons some more, "You want us to leave you alone? Why don't you make us?" The boy held out his arms in a taunting manner.

"Fine!", Alvin was about to push the boy into the lockers behind him but paused when a teacher walked into the hallway.

"Whats going on out here? Is there a problem?", The older man, with balding gray hair, asked.

"Nothing Sir, we where just talking to our friends here before heading to lunch", the brunette gestured to Alvin and Simon.

The teacher looked at them skeptically, "Well move along and clear out of the hallways." The man watched until they had left and went back into his classroom.

Alvin walked over to Simon and took his hand again. They resumed walking to the lunch room.

"Alvin, don't let them get to you like that", Simon tried to calm Alvin's nerves.

Alvin shook his head, "I'm sorry Simon I shouldn't have lost my temper like that."

Simon patted Alvin on the back, "Besides there's three of them and only two of us and I wouldn't be much help in a fight right now."

Alvin chuckled, "I could have taken all three of them!"

"Sure you could have, Alvin", Simon patronized his brother.

"Oh ya well you would have seen... well no you wouldn't have I guess", Alvin teased Simon.

Simon playfully pushed Alvin as they walked into the lunch room.

The pair grabbed their lunch and sat at the table with the rest of the gang.

"You guys are kinda late, what happened?", Brittany asked.

Alvin shook his head, "Nothing."

Eleanor turned to Theodore, "Theo are you going to be ready for our jog to the park and back after school?"

Theodore let out a sigh, "What? The park? That's like four blocks from our house!", Theodore wined.

Brittany giggled, "Theodore, You're not going to slim down by taking it easy."

Theodore's shoulders slumped, "I know..."

After school Alvin and Simon sat outside the front doors alone. Brittany, Eleanor and Theodore had went home as soon as the bell rang to get ready for their jog.

Jeanette had stayed at the school library, reading.

"You know Simon... I don't regret anything about these past few weeks", Alvin squeezed Simon's hand and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Simon nodded, "Me either."

Alvin got up from the short brick wall Simon and he had been siting on, "Well lets get home."

Simon groaned, "I was enjoying the fresh air."

"Then lets take a walk in the park on the way home", Alvin suggested.

Simon stood up and took his place next to Alvin, "Sounds good to me."

The two walked home and took their planed detour through the park.

Alvin stopped at a bench, "What do you say we sit down and just relax out here for a little while?"

Simon nodded and he and Alvin sat down.

Simon leaned his head onto Alvin's shoulder, "You know Alvin, I just thought of something."

Alvin wrapped his arm around Simon's shoulders, "Whats that?"

Simon smiled, "I haven't said I love you yet."

Alvin put a finger to his chin while he thought about it, "You're right, you haven't"

Simon looked up at Alvin, "Let me fix that. Alvin, I love you."

Alvin put his hand under Simon's chin, "I love you too Simon."

Alvin moved his face to Simon's and kissed him tenderly.

"Oh so school isn't enough for you queers? Now you have to taint the park as well?", the fur on the back of Alvin's neck stood on edge at the sound of the voice.

He pulled away from Simon and stood up, pulling Simon to his feet.

The brunette from school and his two friends walked over to Alvin and Simon, "You know I never liked you creepy chipmunks. I just didn't know why until recently. You are freaks of nature in every way."

Alvin backed away from them, keeping Simon behind him, "We don't want any trouble."

The three boys kept walking towards them, "Really? That's not what you said at school. Not so tough without a teacher to back you up, are you?"

Alvin let go of Simon's hand and whispered something to him.

Simon shook his head.

Alvin looked back at him, "Don't argue with me Simon!"

Simon backed away from Alvin.

Alvin stood between the boys and Simon.

The leader walked until he was standing right in front of Alvin, "Not going to run?"

Alvin looked around to see if anyone who could help them was around. The park was empty except them and some small kids playing on the swings just out of ear shot, "I never liked running, you get all sweaty."

The brunette let out a mocking laugh, "You're funny."

Alvin clenched his fists, "Simon, run!" Alvin yelled out and took a swing at the leader. His fist collided with the brunette's jaw.

Simon backed away, almost tripping a few times until his back was against a tree.

The brunette rubbed his jaw and jumped back as Alvin took a swing at his midsection. He saw Simon trying to get away and pointed at him, "Get him!"

One of the black haired boys moved towards Simon.

Alvin tried to stop him but the other black haired boy caught his arm. Alvin yelled to Simon, "Simon! One of them is coming at you!"

All Simon could see was a black blob coming towards him. Behind the black blob, he could make out two more black masses and a red one.

Simon lifted his hands and started to swing his fists when he thought the boy was close enough.

The boy smiled as Simon swung at the empty air in front of him and slowly approached him.

Simon's heart raced as he heard the sounds of Alvin's fight but he couldn't tell who was wining.

Simon kept swinging until he was caught off guard by a green blur in front of him and suddenly the black mass was gone.

He looked over and saw that another green blob had joined the red and black ones.

"Don't worry Simon, we're here now", Simon recognized Theodore's voice.

Theodore had one of the boys pinned to the ground and held him down.

Eleanor was helping Alvin by taking on the other black haired boy.

Alvin stumbled back as he blocked the brunette's punches.

Eleanor made solid contact with the black haired boys jaw and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

She turned to help Alvin but saw something she had not expected, Brittany had snuck up behind the brunette and was about to make her move.

The boy swung and hit Alvin's left eye, causing him to stumble back.

Brittany used the opening his punch caused to sweep his legs out from under him.

The leader fell to the ground face first and Brittany jumped onto his back and put her knee in the middle of his back and pulled his arms back so he couldn't move, "You're not going anywhere and the police are on they're way right now."

Seeing that the fight was over Alvin stumbled over to Simon to check on him.

Theodore looked at his brother while holding his target down. His left eye was swollen shut and his lip and nose were bleeding, "Alvin, are you alright?"

Alvin nodded, "I'm fine Teddy,"

Alvin tripped and caught himself on Simon. He looked up into Simon's eyes, "Si, are you alright?"

Simon nodded and squinted to try and see his brother's face, "What about you?"

Alvin stood up and scoffed, "I'm fine... you should see the other guy!"

Alvin sat in the back of an ambulance as a paramedic cleaned up the cuts on his face.

She moved her finger in front of Alvin's face and he tracked it with his eye. Once he was done he sighed, "So can I see my brother now?"

The paramedic nodded.

Alvin stood up and found Simon and sat next to him, He wrapped his arm around his shoulder, "How are you doing, Simon?

Simon pressed himself against Alvin, "I'm alright, Theodore got to me just in time."

Alvin looked at the three boys being placed into a police car while Brittany, Eleanor and Theodore we're being questioned.

Simon scooted away from Alvin, "Alvin, I don't know if we should keep this up..."

Alvin turned his head to look at Simon, "What do you mean?"

Simon took a deep breath, "These guys wont be the last ones who mess with us and next time our friends might not be there to help."

Alvin grabbed Simon by his shoulders and turned him so that they were face to face, "Simon, don't talk like that. We can handle anything as long as we have each other."

"But...", Simon was cut off by Alvin pulling him into a deep kiss.

Alvin pulled away, "Simon when I said I love you I meant it. And I will do what ever I have to to keep you."

Simon hugged Alvin, "I love you Alvin."

Alvin rested his head on top of Simon's.

Dave pulled up and tried to come over to Alvin and Simon but was stopped by a police officer.

After Theodore identified Dave the police let him by.

When Dave reached Alvin and Simon he put his arms around them and hugged them, "Are you two alright?"

Alvin and Simon nodded.

Dave stepped back, "Come on, lets go home."

The pair stood up and walked behind Dave.

After a quick talk with the police Dave was able to take Theodore and the girls home.

They all piled into Dave's car and he began to drive.

Theodore sat in the front seat while Brittany, Eleanor, Alvin and Simon sat in the back.

Dave smiled, "Brittany, Eleanor, thank you both for helping my boys."

Eleanor shook her head, "It was nothing Dave, they would have done the same for us."

Alvin leaned his head on Simon's shoulder and tried to stay awake but his body was exhausted from the confrontation. His eye quickly closed and he fell asleep.
