Chapter Five-Talk and Videos.
Tail's Hideout.
Alvin and Tails arrived back in truck to find the rest of the chipmunk and chipettes, who had been waiting for them. "Alvin. What was it like out there."
"Everyone was scared of the dictator here. The shopkeeper, for example, when I place my order, he told me that I was mad to consider buying this stuff." Said Alvin.
"What stuff?" asked Simon.
"Bunch of guitars and a drum set." Said Alvin, nervously.
"WHAT! Why did you buy those?" yelled Simon.
"Chill Simon. I just brought those for some fun."
"You aren't thinking about restarting the chipmunks again, are you Alvin?" asked Theodore.
"Restarting?" asked Tails. "I thought you said you were in a band with your brothers."
"Alvin!" growled Simon.
"What? Simon, think about it. A new world. We hated the fact that our music wasn't good enough for the record producers to think about producing and kept telling me how to write. Here, bands like us don't exist. There's only one group of musician who dare play music. I want the people to have two."
"Alvin, what about Dave?" said Theodore. "We never have done anything like this without him before."
"He'd be telling us to play Theo. Simon, he taught you how to play bass, keyboard. Theo, he taught you how to play drums. He taught me how to write songs and play them. Do you think he wants you to throw away our talents?"
Simon and Theodore exchanged a glanced with each other and they both nodded. Alvin smiled knowing he had won.
Two Days Later, All across the world, all the screens monitors were hacked. People stopped in the streets to watch the monitors as they heard the sound of laughter. Mobius and Knothole were drawn to a standstill. The monitors then turned into the image of a Chipmunk wearing sunglasses along with a red guitar in one of his hands. Behind him, was a black screen. A cocky grin on his face. "This is real." He said. "I am Alvin. And I'm from another world." The screen then went black. The three words then appeared.
The Chipmunks Live!
By now the night sky had plunged everything into pitch black. Cheers were heard when a platform started to descend and a light showed Theodore sitting behind the green drum set with the name CHIPMUNKS engraved on it. A second platform began its descent. A light was shone on that to reveal Simon supporting a blue bass guitar. Then finally a trapdoor opened and a platform ascends carrying a Chipmunk with a red hoodie who was supporting a red guitar. The Chipmunk turned and raised his hands to his hood. Theodore and Simon waited for the signal to start playing. The red chipmunk pulled the hoodie down to reveal Alvin. The audience were now on their feet and cheering. Alvin slowly raised an arm causing more cheers and suddenly brought it down to start music and Simon and Theodore joined in. "Wanna know why God has put no clouds in the sky tonight?"
The crowd yelled back answers to him before Alvin hold up his hand in the air. "BECAUSE GOD WANTED TO SEE HIS FAVOURITE BAND AGAIN!" Then Alvin sang in a small quiet voice.
Nobody likes you...
Everyone left you...
They're all out without you...
Having fun...
Then all of the chipmunks started to play. Alvin faced the camera, a wild look on his face. He mouths the words "Bring it on!" before belting out the next lyrics
Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up ten high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
Like a flunkie along for the ride
It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late
Where have all the riots gone
As the city's motto gets pulverized?
What's in love is now in debt
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse!
The town bishop is an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Standing still when it's do or die
You better run for your fucking life
There's nothing left to analyze
Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
And where will we all go when it's too late?
"COME ON!" Yelled Alvin. Before running up a platform, he then raised his guitar behind his head and played a small solo. Theodore threw his drumsticks in the air, spun around on his stood to face a camera behind him. He smiled before rolling his eyes before it and to finish it off, kiss the camera. Simon raised his bass above his head before smashing it into the ground, breaking it to a pieces. He then ran offstage to return with a similar bass. By then Alvin had returned to the microphone to sing out the next lyrics.
And don't look back
You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your father's rage and your mother's love
Made me the idiot America
It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late
She said I can't take this place
I'm leaving it behind
Well she said I can't take this town
I'm leaving you tonight
"That was a rock and Roll song! Yelled Alvin before he launched himself off the stage into the screaming crowds of humans. He seemed to float on top of the crowd, laughing at the camera above him. Simon was whispering a song idea into Theodore's ear. Theodore then started a small drumming beat on one drum.
"Alvin. Stop playing around in the audience and get your ass back up here!" said Simon into the microphone. Alvin pulled himself away from the crowd and back on to the stage. Alvin raised up a hand to calm down the audience before listening Simon whisper something in his ear. Alvin nodded before saying, "This song is dedicated to the man who taught us to play. Thanks Dave." Simon and Theodore started to play whilst Alvin ran over to the side and appeared to speak to three people. He then rolled his eyes before picking one up by the waist and pulling her onto the stage. Brittany Miller giggled and yelled at Alvin to put her down. Jeanette and Eleanor joined the pair at the microphone.
(Alvin)
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
Alvin turned to face Brittany and sang the next line.
You don't have to put up a fight
Alvin turned to Jeanette before spinning her around once.
You don't have to always be right
Alvin turn to Eleanor and pulled her into a hug.
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
Alvin separated himself from Eleanor for the Chipettes to sing the next part of the song.
(Chipettes)
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
(Alvin)
We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
(Chipettes)
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
(Alvin)
I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...
Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...
(Alvin and the Chipettes)
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
The screen then turned back to what it was before leaving silence around the world. And then it's explodes with noise from everyone trying to say what they think.
And we are clear.
Okay. Maybe this story is not read as often as my others, but who cares. I like writing. So I'll continue it.
