Disclaimer: I own none of the characters of Alvin and the chipmunks since they were created by Ross Bagdasarian Sr but is currently owned by his son/successor: Ross Bagdasarian Jr. The only character I own so far is Alvin and Brittany's son: Alex, his crush: Alesha and the villain of this story but I will update this whenever any other characters I made up come into the picture.
Without a voice.
It had been a full week since the whole toilet incident, the night skies were pitch black and the hoots of an owl occasionally filled the blackness of twilight. Life in the Seville bungalow was quiet and relaxed. The noise was nonexistent but also filled with soft, sleepy snores. There was one Chipmunk alone whose night was being disturbed.
Alex clawed at his blankets and chewed his bottom lip as his entire body (mostly his hands) were dripping with cold sweat and the duvet around him was soaked. It was only on occasion this sort of thing happened and whenever it did, it would make Alex dread each night somehow encase another one of these transpired. Alexander was having a nightmare!
Alexander sat alone in the darkness of a cage. The metal crate was grey-black in color and a green light shone in the background. He took in his surroundings and he found that he was all alone with nobody to comfort him and tell him that everything was alright.
That wasn't all. Getting a closer look at himself proved that Alex was actually no longer an Adsolent but a young Chipmunk pup, looking to be no older than 3 and a half weeks old. He wasn't wearing any clothes so he was basically naked and his large eyes were wide with fright. "Where am I?" Alex wondered out loud but he covered his mouth instantly when he realised that actual words left his mouth. Did he just talk!? Alex suddenly heard some shaky, shallow breaths that made him strain to listen.
Alex looked around in search of the origin of the ill sounding breathing when something urged him to look up. He saw about seven little chipmunk pups looking to be the same age as he was as of currently and they looked terrified. Alex feebly climbed the bars of the cage until he reached the roof of the cage to get a look at the seven little chipmunks.
His eyes widened in shock when he realised who these little ones were. Two pups were blonde, another pair were a dark brown while the last pair were chestnut brown and Auburn. They looked too familiar in Alexander's eyes as he asked "Mom, Dad!?" He looked to the other little chipmunks "Mrs Charlene, Aunts: Eleanor and Jeanette, and Uncles: Theodore and Simon!?"
Alex's youthful high pitched voice sounded alarmed as he saw the horror in his family's eyes "Whats going on, Where are we!?" He didn't get an answer and this made Alex realise that this was actually a dream and not real. But if it wasn't real then why did it feel like it?
Since he wasn't in the mood for investigating such dilemmas, he let go (falling to the floor of the cage) but decided to stay put and watch what was happening since nobody could see nor hear him. His tiny ears flicked whenever he heard some voices. High pitched voices that seemed to be soothing his young parents/aunts and uncles.
"Guys, please be brave. You're Mama and papa's are sorry we got ya all into this mess." One voice said- a male Chipmunk's voice.
Alex had no idea what was going on so stood up and stared up towards his parents cage and was terrified when he saw people in lab coats removing two pairs of chipmunks from their cages above the pups'.
The chipmunk that obviously owned the voice who was trying to console the puppies was a red furred chipmunk who wore a finely crafted Hippie neck less. A second chipmunk- his mate, was a female chipmunk who had dark brown fur with flowing long hair which was tied up in two twigs. Another male chipmunk had dark brown fur and was a lot more slender than the others was in another scientist's hand and his mate who had auburn fur was in the other hand.
Alex instantly knew where he was and who these guys were at that moment. He must have somehow been dreaming of what had happened in the past and the adult chipmunks who were being taken out of their cages must have been the parents of his parents and relatives. Or in other words, his maternal grandparents.
The son of Alvin and Brittany felt his mouth dry up as he saw a gruesome sight before him that sent shivers down his spine. He was forced to shield his large eyes since he tried to block out the ear drum piercing screams of his grandparents. All he knew was that a blinding green light engulfed his vision and before he could see anymore, he shot up in his bed with his khaki blue eyes wide with terror.
If he wasn't a mute there would have been no doubt of his screams of horror. Alex looked around to discover that he was no longer dreaming but he was back in his bedroom. He latched on tight to his blankets but when he looked down at his lap, he found that his blankets and ruby red Pyjama top were soaking with sweat and he was shivering with coldness.
The young chipmunk sighed as he wiped a relieved paw across his brow but he knew he couldn't get back to sleep now so decided to do the most logical thing he could think of. Alex leapt out of his bed and landed on the floor before he silently crept towards a familiar bedroom and poked his head through the door to allow a tiny bit of light into the room from the halls and he saw his Uncle Theodore and Aunt Eleanor asleep in their large double bed.
He felt extremely guilty when he decided what he was going to do because he hated waking up his family members but he needed this right now, no matter how old he was. Alex silently frollocked over to the right side of the bed and saw Theodore's paw hanging off the edge of the bed as he seemed to be laying on his stomach. Jumping up high in order to bat the limp paw towards the sides, Theodore stirred until his eyes opened.
Theo yawned tiredly as he opened his eyes to see his nephew standing on the floor while looking very sad and guilty. "Ugh..." The chubby adult chipmunk groaned as he gingerly rubbed his temples to ease off his drowsiness "What are you doing up, Alex?"
Alexander just flashed his youngest uncle a sad look and Theo smiled a little as soon as he knew what it was he wanted. "Did you have a nightmare?" He asked with a tired smile. Alex nodded before Theo shuffled to one side to allow Alexander inside the bed and told him as quietly as he could as to not make his wife stir awake "I thought you'd be too old for this, kiddo, but you're always welcome in here."
Theodore helped his nephew up into the bed and once they were both laying in bed, Theo asked Alex in a whisper "You wanna know what helps me sleep, Alexander?"
Alex cautiously nodded and Theodore replied sweetly as he put a gentle paw upon his wife's growing belly "To feel the movement of my pup."
Alex was confused. How can touching you're wife's belly calm you to an extent of falling asleep? Once his Uncle took Alex's paw and planted it on top on his Aunt Eleanor's baby (making him feel a bit awkward) belly and the Dark auburn furred chipmunk was in awe as he felt the gentle flutters inside and for some reason, Alex found himself in a hypnotic trance as he felt his unborn cousin move around. Once Alex was asleep, Theodore whispered lovingly "G'night, Alex."
The next afternoon; everyone had gotten over the whole toilet thing, even Alex. He was a little reluctant to come back to school at all after that first day but it was thanks to the encouragement of his father that helped him get over it. That wasn't all that was exciting, though. Eleanor was much bigger then she was a week ago and she was beginning to show.
Even so, Ellie's psychotic behaviour was still running rampant in the Seville household. Alesha and her mother; Charlene, were also regular visitors and if that wasn't handy enough, Charlene is a nurse who retired years ago to take care of Alesha after her mate abandoned the two of them before Alesha was born.
It would be a lie if anyone said that everything was perfect but to be fair, it was pretty close to perfect. This day was no different.
Alexander and Alesha were wandering down the corridors of the school as they were on their way to class. "Are you okay Alex?" Alesha asked with a gentle smile "You seem a little quiet."
Alex sent the female chipmunk a raised brow and a mildly confused glare. He was still confused about the bad dream he had the previous night and he couldn't tell anyone about it. Not even his family. Luckily, Alesha giggled lightly as she said jokingly, thinking he was looking like that at her since he was always quiet "Hehehe, You know what I mean!"
All of a sudden Alex stopped walking with his mouth open slightly and his navy blue eyes wide. Alesha noticed Alexander's sudden pause and asked "Whats the matter?" Alesha followed her friend's gaze and saw a crowd made of most of the student body ahead of them. The two chipmunks got down on all fours as they raced towards the commotion and after pushing and squeezing through the gaps the people made, they found the source.
The both of them looked upwards and saw a poster on pinned on a message board which was clearly meant for grade announcements and quiz answers. This poster, though, was actually one with a cartoon forest backdrop with a purple-blue nighttime sky and there were many cartoon trees. The writing on the top was bold and coloured orange to match the peaceful serenity of the poster and it said "Forest outing".
Alesha looked to her friend and asked, repeating what the poster said before facing her mute friend "A forest outing?" Alexander shrugged, telling her that he was just as clueless as she was. Judging by the fact that the other students were talking to each other about this sudden event, it appeared that nobody knew what this was.
"Should we go and talk to Mrs Ortega?" Alesha inquired and Alex nodded as they both raced towards the homeroom to try and get to the bottom of this. Once they were at the door, Alex stood on Alesha's shoulders and knocked hardly on the rectangular piece of wood that marked the entrance to the room.
After a moment, Mrs Ortega opened the door and allowed the two to enter and she knew exactly why they were here since she wore a guilty smile as she looked down at the both of them. "Come in, guys."
Once the two humanoid rodents were stood on their teacher's desk, awaiting an explanation, Julie began to explain "Okay, guys. A month ago Dr Rubin decided to plan an outing to a woodland so everyone can know more about the environment and how to save it. Now the mayor's allowed us access to these piece of woodlands and we're making this the first school fieldtrip in 17 years."
Alesha gasped "Woah, 17 years?! What happened?"
"Apparently one of our former students destroyed the first wheel that was ever made, something that was forged by the cavemen millions of years ago. We never found out who damaged the wheel exactly but our school was blamed and we haven't been able to go out since. Now our school's probation been canceled and we can go on field trips again. If we go without destroying anything then we'll finally be aloud out whenever we want."
Julie explained this tale as hard as she could but it was a bit difficult. Alex wrote something down on his notepad frantically. It may have taken a few minutes but he wrote it any ways and it said "So when are we going to this field trip?"
Mrs Ortega smiled warmly. Clearly Alex was a lot like his father because from what she could recall, he too was an adventurer. This pleased her and she couldn't wait until this trip happened. This was promising to be the best field trip ever and it was becoming apparent that everything was going to be jolly and bright.
A/N: Sorry this was short. I just couldn't wait to update this chapter. What could Alex's dream mean? Who could have ruined the West Eastman school trip for 17 years? Find out soon and I bet you'll know the second question's answer already if you looked at the Squeakquel. Sorry if I spelt that wrong.
Please review and stuff and at least Theodore is comforting Alex. History repeats itself, doesn't it? You might be pretty shocked later on of what Alex was dreaming about. That I promise you.
Please review and favourite.
