Author's Note: Hello fellow readers and writers, I apologize if this chapter seems significantly shorter than the rest, but from now on, the chapters will carry only one point of view, Enjoy! Feel free to Review, I enjoy "hearing" what you have to say. Once again, I do not own the Chipmunks or Chipettes, or any of these songs, the credit goes to their respective domains. I own the story.

Simon's Point of View

"Finally," I thought to myself as I rushed my black jacket on over my blue t-shirt, "The concert." Our plan to save The Gardens and Alvin's birthday present to Brittany, it was finally here. I thought I'd feel happier, more enthusiastic; our chance to make a difference was right in front of us, but instead I had mixed feelings. I was caught between Jeanette's words of last night and the words Jeanette would say, rather sing, today. Was I hurt by what she said? I'd be lying if I said no; but she was angry, and that meant something in her defense. I knew Brittany could irritate her at times, plus I could never ever stay mad at her, or hold a grudge against anyone other than Alvin.

"Aren't you excited, Simon?" Jeanette exclaimed. The joy in her voice is what made me forget. Her happiness was all that mattered, and I would do anything to ensure that she stayed that way. I smiled at Jeanette for the first time today, settling my nerves slightly. "Let's give that crowd something to cheer for!" She jumped up and down with excitement in her squeals… Or nervousness, without waiting for to actually answer. I had the urge to hold her again, a quick need to feel her warm fur, her warm breath, her happy heartbeat. It was a couple thought, something too romantic for what Alvin called the "Friendship Stage." He thought he'd make up our fighting by giving me girl advice; I didn't want it, but I accepted his attempt of an apology. Before I got the chance to wrap my arm around her slender, jumpy figure, Alvin broke in and interrupted my thoughts.

"Come on, Si, we're up! Can't have them waiting for my awesomeness!"

"I sighed, "Let's get this started."

The lights showered me and my brothers, the crowd was wild and certainly ready for us to begin. The sound of the music for "We're The Chipmunks" filled my ears and lifted my spirit, along with any doubts. Oh, to sing again! The feeling of performing again in front of a crowd, and for a great cause; unbelievable! Brothers and I caught the cue from the music and began to sing.

"Do, do, do do do do do

Watch out
'Cause here we come

It's been a while, but
We're back with style, so
Get set
to have some fun
We'll bring you action
and satisfaction

We're the Chipmunks
C-H-I-P-M-U-N-K
We're the Chipmunks
Guaranteed to brighten your day"

"What a rush!" I though as Alvin lead the next verse.

The ending soon came and in unison, we chanted, "Do, do, do do do do do!"

"Thank you." Theodore said and waved to the crowd, all of which cheered from our performance.

"We," Alvin spoke into the mini microphone headset against his head, "would like to dedicate this concert to the lovely Brittany." Alvin gestured to the Chipette, who sat on stage and watched; she looked to be almost crying. Her smile was directed to Alvin, but she showed plenty of gratitude to Theodore and I.

"And," I quickly added, "these wonderful Gardens!"Everyone "oohed" and "ahhed" as they looked at their surroundings, admiring what was left of The Gardens. "We'd like to thank you all for coming." I continued, "This means a lot!" I looked through the clapping crowd, nearly begging for the next song.

"Please give a warm welcome to Jeanette and Eleanor!" Theodore chimed and we stepped aside for the sisters to begin.

"Three little birds, sat on my window," The Chipettes snapped and turned to Brittany between a spin and winked, "And they told me I don't need to worry." Jeanette's voice stuck out like a rainbow in a storm. I looked over to Brittany who smiled and wiped her eyes at her sisters' performance. Their voices mixed was a work of art. My ears found Jeanette's individual sound and butterflies crept up in my stomach as I realized I would be performing with her in little more than ten minutes. I noticed Brittany mouth the words, following Jeanette's and Eleanor's movements with her eyes. Her happy ice blue eyes. I hoped to see Jeanette's eyes that happy soon enough.

"Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow."

The crowd roared with clapping and whistling as the performing Chipettes were grabbed from behind by Brittany and pulled into a hug. Me, Alvin and Theodore joined in the clapping; The Chipettes always got along, always acted like true sisters to each other. Everyone should be able to see that.

"This is turning out better than I thought." I whispered away from the headset attached to my head.

"While we get ready for our next performance," Alvin called out to the crowd, "my brother, Simon, has something he would like to say."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?" I stammered as Alvin pushed me to the front of the stage and ran to the back room to ready himself. "Umm, hi." I waved to no particular person nervously. What was Alvin thinking? I had no plans for this! Was there anything I wanted to talk about? Jeanette? No… The Gardens. "Who here thinks this is a beautiful place?" I asked, hearing mumbles of disapproval. "I see your point; this used to be a paradise, a wonderful place where the flowers grew and weren't dying by weeds. This place was taken care of." I found the elderly greenhouse lady in the crowd with a toothy smile on her face. "But now, this place is abandoned and left to fend for itself." I knew this was going somewhere, I just had no idea where I would go from here. "And now, in only a few days and if we don't do something big to save this place, it will be torn down and replaced with a restaurant that I'm sure most of you wouldn't even visit." More mumbles. "We can change this." I trailed off, my speech was over, my head empty, "Thank you." I stepped back for the next song to begin, an individual clapped from the crowd. I turned and saw the greenhouse lady, clapping as hard as her frail hands would let her. I smiled meekly as I was joined by my brothers and the two Chipettes for the song to begin. I stole a glance at Jeanette who was looking straight at me with a serious smile written across her face as the music played.

"Everyday I'm shuffling!" Everyone's voice boomed throughout the stage as "Party Rock Anthem" ended. I found myself standing next to Jeanette in the back room, our microphones to the side.

"I'm so nervous," Jeanette clung to my arm, "I don't know how I made it through my duet with Eleanor."

"I'm nervous too," I admitted, "And you were fantastic." The butterflies in my stomach multiplied as Jeanette clung tighter, making me lose feeling in my arm. She was stronger than she looked, twice as smart, but also twice as shy. She smiled and looked onto the stage. I squinted through my glasses and found Alvin… Serenading Brittany?! She stood by his side as he held her hand and stared into her eyes. The crowd was enjoying it, giving loud whistles as complements to Alvin's soft singing. Brittany's face was as red as Alvin's sweater, and I couldn't help but smile with Jeanette as our siblings flirted.

Alvin finished with his song and began his way to the back, but before anything happened, Brittany had him in a loving hug. Was that a peck on the cheek, or was my imagination playing tricks on me? Before I knew it, Theodore was quickly up and eagerly began "Fireflies." His high voice was soothing, it relaxed me as Jeanette and I prepared for our own performance.

My ears suddenly perked up, "Did you hear something?" I asked.

"I think you have the jitters." Jeanette giggled nervously, "I have them too."

"Heh, yeah, you're probably right." I shook off the feeling and took hold of Jeanette's hand as we waited patiently for Theodore to end.

"Because my dreams are bursting at the seams." Theodore sang the final part of "Fireflies" and walked off the stage, but not before getting a hug from Brittany. "Knock 'em dead." He said to us as Jeanette and I slowly made our to the stage, the crowd roaring for another song. The music began even before we reached the front; there was no dance number for this song, we were to simply sing it together.

"Here we go," I thought and without letting go of Jeanette's hand, I looked into her eyes a little like what Alvin did earlier. I nervously opened my mouth as words flowed out.

"They say the beat of a butterflies wings

can set off a storm a world away."

My nervousness melted away as Jeanette took her turn.

"What if they're right and the smallest of things

can power the strongest hurricane."

Her voice was so beautiful, so dreamy that I almost forgot to take my turn.

"What if it all begins inside."

"We hold the key that turns the tide." Jeanette chimed in. The chorus came and we moved closer together, neither of us realizing it until we touched. The crowds roars from before evaporated into silence as they listened to our melody and music.

"Just a pebble in the water," We sang together, and at that time, that precise moment, I felt a spark, a connection between me and Jeanette as more than just friends.

"Ooh," Jeanette took over, "Can set the sea in motion." I heard my cue to join in and once again harmonized with the beautiful chipette.

"A simple act of kindness," My turn now.

"Can stir the widest ocean." The butterflies that were once in my stomach disappeared as Jeanette joined in for the last part of the chorus.

"If we show a little love

Heaven knows what we could change…

Make a wave! Make a wave!" The happiness, the sheer joy in Jeanette's eyes radiated. Her smile like my own that I could see in the shiny reflection of her glimmering eyes. I took her other small, soft hand and spun her in a little twirl. While we spun together I could have noticed Brittany's smiling at us, or Alvin's face from behind the curtain, but all I could see was Jeanette, she was all I wanted to see.

I set her down and her tail wrapped up in mine, making me blush, and the song continued until it was nearly over.

"So let's show a little love," Jeanette sang, "You never know what we can change."

I took over.
"So throw a pebble in the water," My wonderful Jeanette joined in one last time.

"Make a wave,

Make a wave…"

The music faded.

BEEP BEEP BEEP! "Everyone clear out, now!" A loud rumble broke the stunned silence from only seconds ago, the loud rumble of a bulldozer.
