Author's Note: Well once again time got away from me. I had several things pop up that have been out of my control. I said there would be 2 Chapters this week but the 2nd one will have to be a Labor Day Special. But the next Chapter is when the tragedy will be revealed!

Chapter 31

The Concert

Sam: So are you boys excited?

Alvin: Yes we are super excited!

Sam: Practically the entire town has turned out for the concert.

Simon: Wow that's impressive!

Sam: You are the biggest act to ever hit this small town.

Theodore: Well they won't be disappointed!

Dave: Glad to hear it, boys. I am really looking forward to seeing the concert you put together!

The boys just smile.

Before long they arrive at the park. They park out of sight and go up the back stairs to the stage.

The boys peak out from the side of the curtain and see the massive crowd.

Alvin: This will be a great audience!

Sam: Boys Paul just arrived he is coming with his son. But he has put a blindfold on him.

Theodore: What's the blindfold for?

Sam: He told his son that he was doing security at a top secret place. He plans to remove it right in front of you to surprise him.

Alvin: That's a great idea!

Paul then brings his son up the back steps and puts him right in front of the Chipmunks.

Paul: Sorry about the blindfold Bobby.

Bobby: It's ok dad.

Paul then removes the blindfold.

Bobby gasps.

Bobby: IT'S THE CHIPMUNKS!

Alvin: Hey Bobby how are you!?

Bobby: AWESOME!

Bobby then gives his dad a big hug.

Bobby: Thanks, dad!

Paul: It was actually Alvin that arranged this for you, Bobby.

Bobby then runs over and practically tackles Alvin by giving him a hug.

Alvin: So Bobby I understand this is your first Chipmunks concert.

Bobby: Yes, it is! He says with a look of excitement in his eyes.

Alvin: Well then I have a special pass for you.

Alvin then places the pass over Bobby's neck.

Bobby: What's this?

Alvin: It's your backstage pass AND with the pass, you will be able to come out on the stage and sing with us at a certain point.

Bobby: REALLY!?

Alvin, Simon, and Theodore: Yep!

Bobby: You guys are awesome!

Bobby then gives all 3 of The Chipmunks a hug.

Bobby: I can't wait!

Paul: Come on son we need to go check the security.

Bobby: Ok dad! He happily runs over to his dad.

Just then the Owner of the hotel and the hospital staff arrive.

The boys talk with all of them for a little bit till Sam and Paul come back.

Sam: Ok boys Paul and I just finished looking over everything. We see no reason to delay the concert so whenever you're ready you can start the concert.

Alvin: Well are you ready Simon?

Simon: Yes!

Alvin: How about you Theo?

Theodore: You bet!

Alvin: Well then let's go!

Alvin walks out first with Simon following a little bit behind on his right and Theodore following behind on his left.

The crowd starts applauding.

Alvin: GOOD EVENING OAKTON!

The crowd starts cheering.

Alvin: This concert is a benefit concert for the local hospital. Now some of you are probably asking why. Dave our dad and the manager of the band was on his way here to make a deal on our latest album. He was hit by a Simi Truck. (The crowd gasps.) He was rushed to the hospital here in town where they performed emergency surgery on him. For a couple of days, we were afraid he would die. However, thanks to the wonderful nurses and doctors at the hospital he is almost fully recovered.

The crowd starts cheering.

Alvin: Dave would you please come on out.

Dave then slowly walks out on the stage and waves.

The crowd starts applauding and cheering

Alvin: Would Dave's doctors and nurses please step out here as well.

They then step out as well.

The crowd keeps cheering.

Alvin: We have been here in Oakton for almost an entire week. We would like to thank the wonderful Owner and Staff of the Evergreen Resort. They took excellent care of us during our stay. We never had to worry about word getting out that we were here. And when the owner found out why we were here she insisted that we take the suite free of charge. Since she won't take any money we would like her to come out on stage so that she may be recognized.

The owner then walks out on the stage. The crowd then starts cheering and applauding very loudly.

Alvin: We would also like to thank our security team. They have been awesome about making sure we were safe at all times. Come on out guys.

Paul and his son along with Sam now go out on stage.

ALVIN: NOW HERES WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

The crowd starts going crazy as The Chipmunks start the concert.

Everyone on stage starts singing and dancing.

Everything is going perfectly and everyone is having a good time.

Out in the audience:

The man that helped set up the barricades has returned and is watching the concert.

Man: It's a shame what those poor boys had to go through. He says thinking to himself.

The concert continues on however Alvin does something unexpected.

Alvin: ALVIN, ALVIN, ALVIN!

Crowd: ALVIN! ALVIN! ALVIN!

Alvin then runs and jumps out into the crowd and starts crowd surfing.

Dave, Paul, and Sam are shocked by this.

Alvin makes his way around the crowd by crowd surfing.

Alvin is soon back on the stage. Dave, Paul, and Sam are relieved by this.

Man: Well I have no need to stick around here any longer. The man then leaves.

Before long the concert then starts to wrap up.

Alvin: Oakton it has been a real pleaser being here. But before you go I have something I would like to say.

Simon, Theodore, and Dave look around confused.

Alvin: When Dave was in the hospital here I was left in charge of my brothers. The caused me great stress. I had a nightmare a few nights ago were I dreamed that I would kill myself.

The crowd gasps.

Alvin: Suicide is not the answer to problems. If you ever have thoughts of suicide don't do what I did. I hid it from the people who cared most about me. I got no relief in till I actually talked to someone and let them know how I felt. I'm sorry that this is not the usual happy ending to one of our concerts but I had to say this. Thank You.

Crowd: ALVIN! ALVIN! ALVIN! They are cheering and clapping. Alvin then motions for Simon and Theodore.

The boys then walk up to the edge of the stage and take a bow.

They then walk backstage.

Alvin: So Bobby how did you like your first Chipmunk concert?!

Bobby: It was awesome!

Alvin: Well we will have to have you come to more of our concerts then. He says smiling.

Bobby: Really!?

Alvin, Simon, and Theodore: Really!

Alvin, Simon, Theodore, and Bobby all start laughing.

Dave: Boy's I hate to be the bad guy here but we need to get going. Mitch is waiting for us.

Alvin: Ok Dave just let us say bye to our friends.

Dave: Ok.

Alvin, Simon, and Theodore hug everyone and thanked them for coming.

Alvin: We will be back someday. We can never fully repay you for all that you did!

All of their new friends wave goodbye.

Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Dave, Sam, Paul, and Bobby get in a car and head to the airport.

Before long they have arrived at the airport.

Alvin: Hard to believe a week ago we were right here meeting you for the first time Paul.

Paul: Yep! But at least it's under better circumstances now.

Alvin: Thanks again, Paul! He says smiling.

Paul: Well you guys better get going.

Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Dave, and Sam board the plane.

Mitch: Good to see everyone again!

Dave: Good to see you too Mitch! Thanks for bringing the boys here in the middle of the night.

Mitch: No problem Dave! Well, you guys better get seated we are ready to go.

Everyone takes their seat as the plane taxis out onto the runway.

Soon the plane takes off and is in the air.

Dave: So how do you feel about going home, Alvin? I know this trip was hard on you.

Alvin: I feel good Dave. I am looking forward to being a kid again. He says smiling.

Dave: I am glad to hear it. You still have a long time to be a kid. He says smiling.

Alvin just smiles back.

Everyone then drifts off to sleep.
