The Playground Pals

Brute Beauties Blossoming (Britlga)

It was a quiet night in the Seville home. Dave was cooking dinner while the chipmunks were in the living room. Jeanette and Simon were reading Moby Dick on the comforter chair, Eleanor and Theodore were watching Jungle Monster 4 on the flat screen TV, but the other two; Alvin and Brittany, had been the only pair being separate. Alvin was watching along with the green pair on a different comforter chair. Brittany, on the other hand, was looking out the window to the starry night sky. She seemed tired and lost than her brash self. Ever since the Chipettes returned home from American Idol, Brittany had been feeling confused. Her feelings for Alvin she once had before was now a pile of ash. They got along after being rescued by Ian, but it felt like they were more siblings than anything after the island and the returning of American Idol. She noticed these things after simply asking Alvin if he liked her at all. He claimed he did, but she felt as this was just another manipulation to do what HE desired. She felt nothing but resentment towards him. No love, no connection, no crush. But as the pretty one, she had to mask that she was still in love with boys. But she felt good......when seeing girls. When the superstars went out, she noticed a pretty human girl in a pink bow and dress, yellow pigtails, and one unibrow walking inside the local grocery store. Something about her made Brittany feel something she never had with Alvin. Something...... special..

"Brittany. Brittany!!", a voice called out, snapping her out of her thoughts. Of course, it belonged to the so called "crush" Alvin calling her name. "What Alvin? Can't you see I'm wanting my peace of mind?!", she yelled from the window. "Dinner's ready! Come on before Theodore eats the sugary cookies!", he yelled back before hopping off the comforter chair and ran towards the table. She got off the window sill and ran to the table following Alvin. "So, how is that new contract coming along, Dave?", Jeanette started the conversation. Dave said, "Well, after that performance from you girls, I was able to have the contract...... declined." Eleanor choked on her water that she was drinking hearing the response. "What?!", she shouted. "Great job Alvin. You've just lost our last contract of the month.", Brittany grumbled through her chicken wings, giving him the stink eye. Alvin looked at her with the same stink eye gaze from across the table. "I-I didn't think it would lose the deal! Is there anything we can do to save the contract?!", he pleaded with his adopted father. Dave looked through the last of the mail and stumbles upon a fancy letter. He grabs and opens it slowly. The letter read...

Hello Dave Seville,

I see that your boys are talented singers, correct? Well, our musicians who were supposed to show up didn't. We were hoping if you would accept our offer to perform here at Hillwood's P.S 118 festival. If you have another band that could join your boys, you are more than welcome. Please respond when you have the time.

Sincerely,

Principal Wartz

Dave looked at Alvin, who seemed ashamed and continued eating. He sighed and gave them an explanation of what the letter said. "If we perform at this festival, we could be able to land this contract, but we need to transfer to Hillwood for school." Brittany looks surprised as they were able to go to school but then dropping out once Dave got better. And maybe this time, she could hopefully that pink bow girl again. "What time do we exactly leave? And does the guy even know who we are? We're the Chipmunks and Chipettes! We are known everywhere!", Alvin spoke loudly. "Maybe they don't have the technology or taste in music like us. Probably why we have to perform for the school.", Simon said with hint of sarcasm in his voice. "For once, I'm excited to perform for the students. That is, if Alvin doesn't screw up this time.", Brittany spat. "Dude, I'm not going to do anything!!", Alvin spat back. "Guys, we don't need another fight. We just have to stay out of trouble this time. Alvin, I'm sure I'm gonna be your babysitter, so please, at least try to be tame.", Simon added to the now heated argument. "Alright that's enough, thank you Simon. I shall call Mr Wartz in the morning, now finish your dinner everyone."
