Chapter 2

"What was he going to ask me?" Alvin thought as he lay on the bed he shared with his brothers and the Chipettes, while they were in Germany. Theodore, Simon, and The Chipettes were fast asleep next to him. Alvin could hear the T.V in the other room which meant Dave and Claire were still awake. "Maybe I should let Dave ask me what he wanted to ask me earlier, instead of waiting until tomorrow. The way he tried to ask me makes me believe the question was important." Alvin thought. After thinking it over in his head for a little bit, he decided, "You know what, I will!" Alvin said aloud. Alvin quickly covered his mouth with his paws and looked at everyone else, hoping he didn't wake the others up. They were still sleeping. Alvin sighed in relief and jumped off the bed. He walked over to the door to their room, jumped, and turned the knob. He quietly opened the door and headed toward Dave, and Claire's room, which was down the hall to the left. When he reached the door he noticed it was open slightly. Alvin pushed the door open slowly. He walked into the room and noticed Dave and Claire were asleep. "They must have fallen asleep while watching T.V." Alvin thought. He walked over to the T.V, jumped, and hit the power button turning the T.V off. He looked back at Dave and Claire hoping the sudden darkness wouldn't wake them up. When he noticed they were still asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief, and closed the door slowly behind him as he exited the room. He walked back to his shared room, jumped back onto the bed, and laid down, resting his head on the human sized pillow behind him. "I'll just wait until Tomorrow!" Alvin thought. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep

The Next Day

Simon and Jeanette were the first ones up. They were soon followed by Theodore and Eleanor. And then, to everyone's surprise Brittany woke up. "Wow Brittany, this is the first time I have seen you up before 12!" Jeanette said. "Haw, haw Jeanette! Very funny!" Brittany said sarcastically as she rubbed the sleepys out of her eyes. "I wasn't trying to be funny Brittany. I really am surprised." Jeanette said. "Whatever!" Brittany replied. "Where is Alvin?"

"You know Alvin! He never wakes up voluntarily before 12!" Simon said.

"True, True." Brittany replied.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Brittany's head. "Hey Simon, can you help me with something?" she asked. "Umm, sure. What is it?" he asked.

"I want to pull a prank on Alvin just for the hell of it and I need your help!" Brittany said.

"Okay what do you need help with?" Simon asked. He felt like pulling a prank on Alvin for once, since he always pulled pranks on them.

"I need you to wake up Alvin and tell him that he needs to start packing because we are leaving at 10 o-clock." Brittany said.

Even though the prank seemed small, Simon knew it would work. Alvin HATED waking up early.

"OK, I will!" Simon said.

Simon shook Alvin. "Alvin! Alvin wake up! We have to start packing! We are leaving at 10 o-clock! It's already 9!"

Alvin shifted his position and turned away from Simon. "Ugh. 5 more minutes Dave!" Alvin mumbled.

"Wake up sleepy head!" Brittany said.

Upon hearing her voice, Alvin eyes popped open. He rubbed his eyes and turned his head in Brittany's direction. "Since when do you wake up this early?" he asked.

"Since I want to go home!" Brittany replied rolling her eyes. She was playing along with her prank and was doing pretty well.

Alvin growled under his breath and reluctantly got out of bed. He walked over to his suitcase and pulled out a red sweatshirt, and a pair of custom made blue jeans. After he got his clothes ready, he headed towards the bathroom to take a short 10 minuet shower. Even though he was only 10 ¾" tall, he could take a shower like any human would. After his shower, he got dressed and heads down the hall towards the kitchen, hoping to get something to eat before he starts packing. In the kitchen Dave, Claire, Alvin's brothers and The Chipettes were casually sitting around the table (or in the chipmunks' case, on the table).

"Well, look who's awake!" Dave said in a surprised tone.

Alvin looked at everybody and was surprised to see know one was dressed.          

"Why isn't anybody dressed? Alvin asked. "You should be ready to go once we finish packing!"

Dave gave him a confused look. "Why would we pack this early? We aren't leaving until 3!" Dave said.


"3!?" Alvin yelled. He glared at Simon.

"Why the hell did you wake me up at 9?" Alvin fired angrily at his brother.

Simon chuckled a little bit. "Actually, it wasn't my idea! It was Brittany's!" He replied.

"What!" Alvin yelled. He shifted his glance towards Brittany, and sure enough, she was smiling.

"Oh Alvin, you are so cute when your upset!" She said.

Alvin couldn't help but crack a smile at his girlfriend. He just couldn't stay mad at her.

"Oh, I am going to get you for this later!" Alvin said.

"Oh really? How?" Brittany asked.

"I'm not telling you!" Alvin replied.

"Please!" Brittany said in her kindest tone yet.

Alvin got butterflies in his stomach when he saw her smile. "Damn, it's amazing how crazy she makes me when she does something as simple as smile!" Alvin thought.

Alvin hadn't noticed he was staring at Brittany until she spoke up. "Alvin! Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked.

Alvin immediately snapped out of the trance he was in when he heard Brittany's voice. He blinked once. "What?"

"I said, why are you staring at me like that?" She repeated.

Alvin didn't say anything; he simply jumped onto the table next to her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her passionately on the lips. Brittany was surprised at the sudden make-out session Alvin had pulled her into, but she didn't mind. She returned the kiss with equal passion.

They stayed that way for at least a minute before Simon spoke up. "Ugh, get a room you two! Or at least wait until we aren't around!"

Brittany quickly pulled out of Alvin's embrace, much to his dismay. Her face was as red as Alvin's hoodie. Alvin's face was just as red as hers.

"OK, that was awkward!" Dave said. Alvin jumped when he heard Dave's voice. He had forgotten he was there.

"Anyway Alvin Can I ask you the question I wanted to ask you last night?" Dave asked. Alvin turned to face Dave. "Um, I guess!"Alvin replied.

"Ok then. You know we've known each other for about a year now right?" Dave asked.
"Yes!" Alvin replied.

"Well…I was wondering when you and your brothers' birthday is?" Dave said.

Alvin gave him a confused look. "That's all you wanted to ask? Why didn't you ask last night?"

"Because you said you were too tired to answer any questions!" Dave replied.

"Oh, hehe Right! Well my birthday is January 2nd."

"Wow…that's not that long from now!" Dave said. "I'd better start planning! Ok Simon your turn!"

"My birthday is January 15th." Simon said.

"And my birthday is January 23rd." Theodore said.

"Wow…all in the same month" Dave said. "I'd better start planning not just for Alvin, but for you guys too!"

"Hey Dave! What about us? Don't you want to know when our birthdays are?" Brittany spoke up.

Dave looked at her. "Of course, you're as much a family to me as the boys are!" Dave said.

"Let's start with you Brittany! When's your birthday?"

Brittany smiled. "Actually, my birthday is the same as Alvin's!"

Alvin looked over at her. "Really?" he asked with disbelief in his voice.

"Yes, really!" She answered.

"Wow! This must be a sign that we were meant to be together." Alvin said.

Brittany laughed. "Maybe!"

Even Dave was surprised. "Wow! I guess I'll have to plan two birthdays then! OK, Eleanor, it's your turn!"

"My birthday is January 16th!" Eleanor said.

Dave smiled. "Okay! And Jeanette."

"My birthday is January 18th!" Jeanette replied.

"Great! Now I can plan ahead!" Dave said. "And I better get started soon! I have to plan 6 birthdays, all of which are in the same month."
