It just gets better from here. I've never written a story out this fast before. Granted, I have had this idea a long time and much of the dialogue planned too. Buuuut, I just keep adding to it and I feel as brilliant as Alvin thinks he is.

Alvin's POV

When I woke up in the morning, I hoped that things would be back to normal. Usually, whenever I go to sleep and wake up, it functions as a giant mental reset button. I forget so much of the day before that when people try to ask me about things I did, I have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

Until now.

I woke up to the buzzing of Simon's alarm clock and immediately started thinking about the pattern of invisible sound waves that were coming from it. I may have forgotten some of the prior day, but all the physics facts were STILL coming on strong.

"Oh come on!" I muttered.

Theodore zipped up his green hoodie. "Come on where?"

"Oh, errr, just talking to myself." I said in a rush.

"Alvin, wow, you're up early." Simon remarked, turning off his alarm clock.

Yes, I know, this was unusual behavior for me. I just couldn't wait to get to school and see how well my upgraded thought process helped me in my other, admittedly more boring, classes. Hold up, WHAT!? I couldn't wait to get to school? WHO WAS I!?

"I didn't sleep well." I lied. I'd slept AMAZING. I had so many dreams about physics and aliens and I wondered if alien physics differed any from earth physics. I recalled from somewhere that different planets have different intensity gravitational fields.

I froze at that thought. Did Dr. Willerkers cover gravitational fields? No, but I now could vividly remember Simon talking about them. Being a sudden genius sure was weird.

"Maybe you should talk to a therapist about all your nightmares." Theo suggested as we headed downstairs for breakfast.

"No, no, I'm fine." I made sure to shove my glasses case in my backpack, in case I found anything interesting to read today. Yep. I was a total dweebus now, and loving, while fearing, every minute of it.

Simon did his usual eye roll. "He was probably having nightmares about aliens again." My middle bro told my baby one.

"Morning, Fellas." Dave greeted us from the kitchen. He handed us our neatly packed lunchboxes and then left us to fend for ourselves getting breakfast.

I poured myself a bowl of off brand honey nut cheerios and found myself thinking about the volume of the milk in the bowl.

Holy nuts! That was also something Simon had said that I never paid attention to before. Nor had I cared about the buoyancy of the floating cereal. Did the brain fryer also make it easier to recall past sciency things I had heard…by connecting them to physics?

"Alvin, are you okay?" My dad's deep voice penetrated the science tizzy.

"Uh huh." I answered back robotically.

Dave's eyebrow raised. He didn't believe me. "Really? Because you've been staring at your cereal for 10 minutes." He pointed out.

"It's gonna get soggy." Theo added.

Simon studied me. "He's been acting very strange lately. Stranger than usual."

"Yeah. It all started after he found out Britt paid all those people to pretend he's a popular kid." My brother in green said to my father.

I stuck my spoon into my cereal and fumed. "Stop bringing that up! Please! I am begging you."

"If you need to talk to anyone, perhaps the guidance counselor…" Dave began.

"Urgh!" I quickly finished the cereal. "I said I'm fine. Now just….leave me alone. I gotta prepare myself for another torturous physics class."

"Physics can be quite exciting if you just give it a chance." Simon told me, grabbing his backpack.

Theo grabbed his cookie shaped backpack too. "Simon, don't keep pushing at him." The shorter chipmunk pulled at Simon's blue shirt.

"I don't want to talk about physics." I fibbed. My heart was yearning to rub everything I had learned in everyone's face. I was dying to tell Simon that there were now two genius Seville brothers and I was only getting smarter by the minute.

I made so many connections that I never thought possible. It was incredibly COOL! But telling everyone would change things. I didn't want things to change. I didn't want the sudden pressure of being a gifted kid, so I had to go against my sciency instincts.

"Fine. Fine. Let's get to school. I won't bring it up again." My brother in blue walked out the door.

Before I knew it, I was back in Miss. Smith's class, struggling through the history lesson. Weirdly, the science-i-fication of my mind didn't give me a boost in history or literature. I could still act like the old me in those classes.

I couldn't act like the old me in math though, since I'd improved a little there in my quest to bring my math grade up. Then, after lunch, (which I spent hangin' with Kevin and Cheesy talking about aliens and working my way up to telling them about Dr. Wilson,) Miss. Smith taught a science lesson in her usual boring way. But this time, I recognized the concepts she was covering! So even though I tried to fall asleep, I couldn't! I just couldn't!

I made it to art class and I decided to talk to Jeanette. She seemed the most likely to believe me. She believed in magic, and sure, she wasn't totally sold on the whole alien concept. However, once she found out about my enhanced brain, she was sure to listen.

"Jeanette,…" I said, right before the final bell rang. I need to talk to you.

"Sorry, Alvin." She hurried out of the room before I could say a word. "I have to get to my gardening class. We can talk later, alright?" And then she was gone. With her, went my only hope.

Now, I was forced to return to that stupid physics class and endure whatever else Dr. W tried to do to me. I could have just run for the exit then and there, but the curiosity compelled me. I found myself walking into the physics classroom and taking my seat….even before class started!

"Pack your bags, class." Dr. Wilson told us once the class was back in session. "We're going to the skatepark." He strapped a helmet onto his head and held up a super cool skateboard with flames on it.

If I hadn't already been positive he was messing with me before, you can bet I was now. "Why?" I asked, sounding like the lost little kid I was.

"It's a surprise!" He winked at me.

And like the brainwashed little creature I was becoming, I followed him and the rest of the class to the skatepark. I was unable to force myself to turn around. I didn't WANT to. I had to know what this alien was up to…and why he'd chosen me. Why increase my intelligence when he could just kidnap Simon without frying Simon's brains?

Once we were at the skatepark, he skated up to the biggest ramp and shouted in a loud voice. "Today, we will be exploring how physics is connected to geometry! And to do that, you'll be watching a skateboarding demo!"

Wait, there's Geometry in SKATEBOARDING!? Geometry is Math! Skateboarding is math!? MATH!? And also SCIENCE? The brain tingles started up again and I groaned loudly.

It happened again, just like the first time. Worse than the first time. He explained angles using skateboarding terms that I previously had no idea were named after angles. Then, he taught us how to calculate the angles and gave us a worksheet with a bunch of math problems that all related to skateboarding.

As I stared at the worksheet, the tingles took over and before I had time to really think about what I was doing, I had answered every question….CORRECTLY. I knew because Dr. Wilson looked it over and then added a shiny gold atom sticker to my page.

"Very good." He said. "You got an A for the day."

"You forgot the minus." I told him. I'd never scored higher than an A minus in anything before. In fact, I had only scored an A minus on one test….about physics? No, wait, that can't be right.

If I had learned physics before, I'd forgotten it. Every single bit of it. That PROVES ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT DR. WILSON REALLY DID FRY MY BRAIN! He'd somehow untwisted all my synapses and connected them correctly! Did that mean I no longer had ADHD? Or that I had learned to compensate FOR my ADHD?

The alien teacher chuckled. "I didn't forget anything, young man. You earned that A. Wear it proud, like the one on your shirt."

"Oookay?" I squeaked out.

When class was over, and I was once again walking home, I got the notification that my physics book was going to be delivered. I had ordered it with 2 day express shipping, but I didn't realize that meant it might come in ONE!

Brittany looked over my shoulder, trying to see why my phone had dinged. I shoved the phone in my pocket. I had to beat everyone home! So I could accept the package in private! We didn't have a mailbox for….reasons, so my only shot was to be the first to see the mailman.

"What are you hiding?" She teased. "Texting another girl."

"Yes. I'm texting my newest true love" I said, half telling the truth. "I think she's just amazing."

"Of course you do." Britt folded her arms and looked offended by my statement. But why?

"Ohhh! That explains why you've been acting so weird lately!" Eleanor elbowed me. "Where'd ya meet this unlucky girl?"

I blushed. This was making one heck of a good excuse though! "In physics class."

"Just don't let fawning over this girl distract you from everything." Simon warned. Yeah. Too late.

"Or make you forget to change classes." The Chipette in pink added. "Because you don't wanna be stuck in there another week too."

Actually, I sorta did. My mind had been expanding ever outward, just like the universe itself! I couldn't imagine going back to not knowing all this stuff. It gave me so many more questions to answer, like a beautiful puzzle! I wanted to know more and more! I hated it! I loved it! It was an intriguing contradiction.

"Hello? Earth to Alvin?" Brittany waved her hand in front of my face. "Alvin?"

"ALVINNN!" Everyone except Jeanette shouted together at once.

"Huh? What?" My mind had spiraled with visions of science and math. Oops.

"You zoned out again." Eleanor told me, reaching out to slap me on the back.

I anticipated her action and moved before she could. She fell on the ground and stared up at me, annoyed. "Whoops." I chuckled.

"You were thinking about that girl again, weren't you?" Jeanette giggled. At least she found my antics adorable.

I sighed. "Ya got me."

Brittany and Simon helped Eleanor off the ground. The pigtailed girl gave me some very evil eyes.

"So what's her name?" Theodore asked, taking a candy bar from his hoodie pocket and unwrapping it.

Shoot! Shoot! SHOOT! Think fast, Alvin! Think! "Uhhhhh…" That's not fast enough, dude!

Brittany looked even MORE offended now. "You don't even know her name!?" She scoffed. "I would say I'm surprised, but I'm not. You treat girls like a pretty face and nothing more."

"No substance." Added Eleanor.

That wasn't true! I loved girls for their substance too! "Nuh uh!" I insisted. "I'm not good with names. That's all." That wasn't a lie. Names were hard to remember. Always.

I suddenly remembered that I needed to get home to get that book…before anyone found out that the "girl" I'm obsessing over isn't a girl at all.

"Sure." Britt said sarcastically, opening her tiny makeup compact mirror. She used it to distract herself from how mad she was at me.

"I've gotta go." I tightened my straps on my black backpack with the skull design on it. "My favorite show is on soon and I don't wanna miss it."

I zoomed off down the sidewalk before I could hear anything else they said. I hoped they weren't too suspicious of me.

I talked to the mailman and got the book. Just my rotten luck, it came in a see through wrapper so you could easily tell it was a book on physics.

"Simon wanted me to pick this up for him." I fibbed to the postman. "He's gonna be home late."

The guy didn't question it and I went upstairs to hide in the closet and see what this book for dummies had to offer. I tore off the wrapping, slipped on my reading glasses, and started to read the first page.

Holy nuts! This was basic! Physics For Dummies indeed….and I was no dummy. At least, not anymore. These concepts were slightly more basic than what Dr. Wilson had taught me.

I flipped through the pages, hoping that I hadn't wasted my money on a book full of stuff I already knew. Luckily, once I reached chapter 3, things began to pick up.

My stomach growled and I ignored it, immersed in the text. Eventually I got to a part that stopped making sense. My brain lost the ability to concentrate on it. But, with my idea making capabilities enhanced, I knew exactly how to make myself concentrate on it.

I started to play music from my phone. I played a bunch of original songs that my brothers and I had created together. It worked! With the songs as background noise, the brain tingles started again! My focus sharpened and I DEVOURED that physics book like Theo devours a triple decker sandwich.

No, I don't mean I ate it. I mean I just absorbed it all mentally. At least 80% of it made sense. What didn't make sense, I was kind of able to piece together theories about…although I had no idea if I was right.

I finished the book and switched my focus fully back to the music. A very fitting song, reminding me of the mess I was in, jolted me back to reality.

"I'm ready and waitin' for ya

I'm ready to go (I'm ready to go)

No time to talk about it

I'm ready to show (I'm ready to show)

I know I'll never be the same (never be the, never be the same, now)

Aliens are coming for my brain (my, my brain, two-three-four, hey yeah, hey yeah)

I'm gonna fight 'til I can't fight no more all day, yeah (all day, yeah)

If you want a piece of me just come and get it (ahh)

I know I'll never be the same (never be the, never be the same, now)

Aliens are coming for my brain (my braaaaain)"

I shuddered as I turned my phone's music app off. How could I once again allow physics to distract me from the mission? I needed to be recruiting someone to help me bust Dr. Wilson! Then, maybe I could get my genius powers turned off and go back to being a blissfully oblivious simpleton. Did I want that? Who am I kidding? Of course I wanted that! All this thinking was giving me a killer headache!

So I did what any rational dude would do. I called up Cheesy. "Hey, Cheesy. I need your help with something."

"Ah…" His unique voice was slightly harder to comprehend over the phone. "I can't, Alvin. Mom grounded me for a week. I'm not supposed to see friends or play videogames."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Darned if I know!" His twang was especially evident in that phrase.

"I feel that." I said sympathetically.

With Cheesy out, I called the school's resident alien expert. "Kevin, my man, how's it going?"

"Pretty well." He responded.

"Awesome. Anyway, uh….I think my new physics teacher is an alien! Can you help me send him back to his home planet? Before he dissects my brain?" I waited for a response.

Kevin LAUGHED at me. He actually LAUGHED at me. "Dude, no. Dr. Wilson's not an alien. He doesn't trip my alien radar at all. He's harmless and fun. What makes you think he's an alien?"

"My….My brain…" No, I can't tell Kevin. Kevin would tell Simon for sure. "I just….I have a feeling!"

"Leave the alien spotting to me, okay, Alvin? Now, I gotta go. Pamela and I are starting a new DND campaign." He hung up on me…just like everyone else. Even the expert on the subject thought I was full of baloney.

That left only Theo. My one hope. But, before I went to talk to Theo, I had one other thing to do. Returning to the bookshelf, I grabbed Simon's Quantum Mechanics book. I needed to know if I understood any more of this than yesterday.

And I DID! Not all of it, but a good chunk of it was now making sense to me. I'd climbed further up the genius ladder! I had the ability to increase my knowledge outside of school! That was AWESOME!….and equally horrifying.

I shoved the book back on the shelf. "Quantum Mechanics rules!" My brain said. "Screw regular mechanics!" Shush, brain. I need to think about how I'm gonna persuade Theo to help me.

I walked downstairs and found Theo in the living room watching a rerun of Cyberchase. It's a PBS kids show. I've never been into it before, but listening to it now I realized I could actually understand the math concepts they talked about. I was actually paying attention to the whole show instead of just the parts with the villain. He was funny. Such a character!

I wished I could have watched the whole thing, but I had a job to do. "Pssst! Theo!" I whispered. "I need to talk to you."

Theo turned off the TV. "Is it about that girl, Alvin?" He asked.

"No. No. Something bigger." I squeaked. "Follow me." Would it work? Would he follow?

Yes! Success! Theodore followed me outside to the backyard. "What's going on?"

"Earth shattering things that could change life as we know it." I told him, waving my arms in the air.

"Still convinced your new teacher is an alien, huh?" My younger bro asked.

"He is." I clasped my hands together. "No one else believes me! But I know you believe me, right? Best bro ever! You're my little buddy! We get in all sorts of hijinks together!"

"And in trouble." He pouted.

"Yes, yes, there is that." I admitted. "But we have to protect the planet! We're all in danger!"

"How do you know?" He walked around me. I knew he wasn't sure what had gotten into me, but he DID suspect it wasn't only the result of a crush.

I decided to come right out and tell him. He wasn't good at keeping secrets, so I hope he'd keep this one. It was the only way he'd believe me. "Let me put it this way, Teddy boy. My mind has been opened to vast and exciting new possibilities! It's scary, but exhilarating! I understand things like gravity, inertia, particles, and various other scientific phenomena. So, you know, I need someone to help me keep this, you know, under wraps. Turns out I am terrible at hiding it alone."

His jaw dropped. "Alvin, for a minute there….you sounded sorta like Simon." He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"I know." I sighed. And that comparison was exactly WHY I needed to hide this.

Theo's brown eyes blinked. "What's going on?"

I tapped my sore head with my finger. "It's simple, Theo. Doctor Wilson increased my intelligence with a brain fryer. I don't really remember the frying part, but I know I walked into his class not giving a dang about physics and walked out unable to stop being a brainiac….no matter how hard I try." I confessed. It felt great to finally let it all out!

My little bro gasped. "That's not good!"

"Tell me about it!" I leaned against the grill, which was luckily turned off. "Like, did you know that water flowing can be totally explained by physics? And skateboarding too!? I didn't know, I didn't want to know! Why do I know!?"

Theo was puzzled. "Are you sure you aren't just….excited?"

"My neurons shouldn't be this excited!" I covered my mouth. Where did THAT come from? "Oh no!" I gulped. "It's getting worse!"

He was as panicked as me now. Excellent. "What do we do?"

I raised a finger in the air. "We need to trap the alien!"

"I'll go get my duct tape!" He squeaked, turning to run into the house.

"Perfect! We'll create a device that can launch a web of duct tape and stick him to the wall. Brilliant thinking, Theo!" I exclaimed.

"Thanks…I think." Theo skipped around happily.

"Hmm. But even with my accelerated cognitive speed, I don't have time to build a duct tape launcher from scratch." I thought out loud. "Maybe we can borrow one of Simon's."

"Okay!" Theo looked more than happy. "But only cuz that teacher messed you up…and we have to put it back when we're done."

"Right. Yes. Absolutely." Oh, and there was one REALLY important thing I couldn't forget. "Oh, and don't tell Simon about my new brain. Please." I instructed. "For all I know, this is just temporary and as soon as the alien is defeated, I'll be back to my old, you know, doofus self."

He patted my shoulder as we descended the stairs to begin repurposing one of Simon's inventions. "I won't tell him 'til your ready." He promised.

Less than a few hours later, we had finished! It was all set! Now, we just had to take the launcher to the classroom, position it just so, and catch that ol science guy like a spider catches a fly. Tonight, while everyone was asleep, we would take it to the school.

Sure, we would have to get past Dr. Hayward's security system, but I had a plan for that already. We knew how to bypass it thanks to that one time Simon accidentally sent him a vent email and we had to erase it before he noticed. We failed that mission, but he wasn't too mad at Simon. I was certain we wouldn't fail this one. Because, if we did, then I was basically alien lunch…or they were gonna take me into space to become ambassador of the galaxy or something.

Following our usual dinner of salad and breadsticks, (Dave's tastes suck) I went upstairs to get ready for "bed." Theo followed my lead and did the same. Simon went to take a book off his bookshelf for his nightly reading. My blood felt like it dropped to 0 degrees celsius. (Not to be confused with degrees of angles) That is to say, my blood ran cold.

"Who touched my Quantum Mechanics book?" He turned his gaze to me and Theo.

"Not me!" I lied. Drat! I thought I put it back in the right place. No, wait, maybe I only did that the first time I read it. "Oh, no wait, I did use a book to swat a fly." I felt that sounded more believable.

He shoved the book back on the shelf and took the book next to it. "They're in alphabetical order. Please try and preserve the order next time, okay?" He said. "Or better yet, use a fly swatter. They're much more effective."

"Got it!" I said, crawling into bed and forcing a yawn.

Theo copied me. "We won't touch your books anymore, Simon." He swore. He hadn't touched them, but I appreciated him acting like it was something he'd do. It pushed the suspicion off me.

That night, once I was SURE Simon was asleep because he was rambling about magical talking panda bears, I crept out of bed and roused Theo awake too. "It's time." I whispered.

And we set off, out into the night. I carried the net launcher I had turned into a duct tape launcher because nets are no match for aliens close to my chest. I hugged it. I needed to protect it at all costs. Theo marched beside me with a green bandanna tied around his head. He was munching a granola bar. We were READY to kick some alien butt! Ohoho!

They're going to get in so much trouble! Haha!

Also, Aliens Are Coming For My Brain kinda fits this tale better than the actual episode it's from. The episode it's from was about a meteorite and not aliens. It was a weird choice.

Anyway, what do you think will await Theo and Alvin? What's Dr. Wilson's deal? Will Alvin be able to tell anyone else about his love of physics before this story ends? Or will you have to wait for story 3?

Please review! I am DYING to hear your thoughts!
