Authors Note: Happy Anniversary Everyone! One year ago, today I published this story! I still cannot get over the fact that it has been a year already. One year ago, I was so nervous about publishing this story that I was doing nervous pacing. I was so worried that no one would like my story. But I told myself that as long as one person enjoyed it I would keep it up. Based on the stats I have anywhere between 25 and 40 fans who enjoy this story enough to keep reading it. I never EVER thought I would get that many people reading this story! So, thank you to everyone still reading this story a year later! I would also like to give a special thanks to some fans who have either gave me an idea for the story, gave moral support to continue the story and those who always taken the time to PM or write a review. So, a BIG thank you to Wicket Wystri Warrick, SpyroDragonTime, Bluewolfbat, and ThegreatAlvinSeville. It has been so much fun working on this story and I hope the sequel will be even more fun! :)

Chapter 42

A Reason To Fight

(Anniversary Chapter)

Theodore: Oh no they are coming to take me back and I still haven't found Simon! He says in a sad and panicked voice.

Benjamin: Listen very carefully to me Theodore. He says placing his hand on his shoulder.

Theodore: Ok. He says in a confused tone.

Benjamin then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a piece of paper.

Benjamin: Theodore DO NOT I repeat DO NOT open this till you are back at the hospital.

Theodore: But why and what is it?

The police sirens are getting much louder. Benjamin then gets up.

Benjamin: I don't have time to explain but trust me. Our conversation will make since when you open that up at the hospital. I have to go now Theodore but I will see you soon! He says running down the alley.

Just then a police car drives by but then slams on the brakes.

Officer 2: I think that was Theodore!

Officer 1: Let's go take a look.

The two officers get out of the car and run towards Theodore.

Officer 1: Good eyes man!

Officer 2: Theodore I think you know why we are here.

Theodore: You have to take me back to the hospital don't you.

Both of the officers nod their heads.

Theodore sighs and stares at the paper.

Theodore: What could be on this paper? He says thinking to himself.

The two officers help Theodore pack up and take him over to the police car. They soon drive off.

They do not notice Benjamin peeking out from behind a building.

Benjamin: They was close! He says breathing a sigh of relief. I cut that to close. I better go break the news to Scarlet that I was not able to catch Theodore.

Benjamin then starts heading back to the hideout.

Theodore's thoughts:

Theodore: Why was he so insistent that I not open this till I got to the hospital? What could be inside it that's SO important? "Our conversation will make since when you open that up at the hospital." Perhaps I should open it now. He will never know!

Back to Alvin:

Alvin: What happened!? Where did all of those memories go?

All of a sudden everything gets really bright and Alvin hears a voice.

Big Voice: Alvin, this is the light of your past and everything that you did with your brothers. Do you wish to become part of it and stay?

Alvin: I… I don't understand. What is this light of my past?

Big Voice: It's not your time yet Alvin.

Back to Simon:

Simon: The memories stopped. Does this mean I have reached the end of my life? He says with tears in his eyes.

Suddenly everything gets bright and Simon hears a voice.

Big Voice: Simon, this is the light of your past and everything that you did with your brothers. Do you wish to become a part of it and stay?

Simon: I… I don't know. Maybe. I want to go back to my family but I don't want to keep being tortured by Scarlet and those men! He says crying.

Big Voice: Simon it's not your time.

Simon: What does that mean?

The Big Voice does not answer. Suddenly Simon starts fading out.

Simon: What…. What's going on!?

Back to Alvin:

Alvin: Come on please tell me what you mean!

Alvin then starts to fade out.

Alvin: Hey what's happening to me!? Why am I fading!?

Soon both Alvin and Simon fad away but then they start returning to normal and appear right in front of each other.

Alvin: SIMON!

Simon: ALVIN!

They both begin hugging each other and start crying.

Simon: Alvin I was starting to wonder if I would ever see you again!

Alvin: I knew I would see you again Simon! I just knew it!

Suddenly Simon stops hugging Alvin.

Alvin: What's wrong Simon? Aren't you happy to see me!?

Simon: Alvin how are you here?

Alvin: What do you mean? I don't even know where we are.

Simon: Alvin I am dead and I think you are dead too. What happened?

Alvin: Wait. Your dead and I am dead too!? He says with a worried look on his face.

Simon: Well I don't know for sure. He says scratching his head. I heard this voice that said it's not my time.

Alvin: Simon I heard the same voice and I heard the same thing!

Simon: Alvin what happened? How did you die? He says placing his hand on his brother's shoulder.

Alvin: Well you see…..

Back to Theodore:

Theodore: No! I won't open it! He says thinking to himself.

A few minutes later they arrive at the hospital.

The officers get out and open the door for Theodore.

Officer 2: We have to walk you in Theodore.

Theodore: I understand. You're afraid I will run away, again aren't you?

Officer 1: We are just following our orders.

Theodore: Well let's go in then.

The two officers and Theodore then walk into the hospital and get on the elevator to head to Alvin's room.

The elevator door opens and standing right in front of them is Sam.

Officer 1: He didn't give us any trouble.

Officer 2: Here are your things, Theodore.

Theodore: Thank you.

Sam: I will handle it from here. Why don't you two go grab a bit to eat and then continue the search for Simon.

Officer 1 and 2: Yes sir.

The two officers head back downstairs while Sam slowly walks Theodore to Alvin's room.

Sam: Listen, Theodore…. I am sorry I pushed you so hard.

Theodore: It's ok Sam. Alvin has always kept me safe no matter what and now I want to do the same for him.

Sam: I understand Theodore. When Alvin wakes up we will talk more about what happened but till then we will just treat this as an accident like you said before. How does that sound?

Theodore: Thanks, Sam. He says smiling.

Sam and Theodore arrive at Alvin's room and see Alvin's doctor and nurse trying to revive him.

Theodore: ALVIN!

Dave: Theodore!

Theodore tries to run to Alvin's side but Dave wraps his arms around Theodore.

Theodore starts crying.

Theodore: Dave what's happening to Alvin!?

Dave: It will be alright Theodore.

Theodore: FIGHT ALVIN! PLEASE FIGHT!

Back to Alvin and Simon:

Simon: Alvin please tell me. I only want to help you.

Alvin sighs.

Alvin: Alright. The day after you were kidnapped….

All of a sudden Alvin and Simon hear a voice.

Alvin and Simon: THAT'S THEODORE'S VOICE!

Simon: I can barely make out what he is saying!

Theodore's voice: Fight Alvin! Please Fight!

Alvin: He's telling me to fight. He says with tears in his eyes.

Simon: Why are you crying?

Alvin: Because if I fight I will have to leave you! But if I don't fight I have to leave Dave and Theodore! He says in a sad voice.

Simon: Alvin you will see me again. I promise you that if you fight I will fight!

Alvin: Deal!

Alvin and Simon hug each other.

Alvin: Now how do we get out of here?

Simon: Good question.

Big Voice: It's time to go back!

Alvin and Simon then start fading away.

Alvin: I love you, Simon!

Simon: I love you to Alvin!

Dr. Keith: One more time! Charge to 400!

Nurse: Charging to 400! 100, 200, 300, 400! Clear!

Alvin is then shocked.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!

Dr. Keith: He's back! He says letting out a sigh of relief.

Theodore then breaks free of Dave's embrace.

Theodore goes and grabs Alvin's hand.

Theodore: Alvin! You fought! You fought! He says with tears of joy in his eyes.

Back to Simon:

Scarlet: Hold it down longer this time!

Robert then holds the electrical wires down longer.

Simon: AHHHHHHHHH!

Scarlet: STOP! He's awake!

Simon: I can't believe you tried to save me! He says coughing.

Scarlet: I can't let my only source of income die. She says walking off with Robert walking right behind her.

Simon: What did I experience? Was it real or was it a dream. He says thinking to himself. I guess it doesn't matter. I am alive. At least for now….
