Hey everyone, so I admittedly have been reading a lot of Alvin fanfics lately and have been inspired to create my own story… We will be focusing on Alvin and Brittany primarily, but the others will all be in here as well, as I love them all! I grew up a fan of the cartoons, but the CGI films have become my favorite "universe" that this franchise has taken place in, especially now that I have two beautiful children to watch the movies with. I remember spending the day with both of them, watching the films before we went out for a family dinner, that was one of my happiest moments ever… I know I am rambling here, but that's just to show my love for this franchise and my excitement to write this story… see you at the end of our first chapter! Just a warning, anything that hasn't been established in the films in terms of continuity and "canon material" is fair game in my stories. This story is ignoring the Road Chip, nothing against the film, just makes it easier to write it they way I have planned.

CHAPTER ONE

It had been hours… Literally hours on end, that Alvin had been sitting in his room in the Seville household, alone. He just couldn't get over this one new feeling he had. A feeling that he has never truly felt before, and that feeling was called love, deep love at that. Sure, Alvin loved his brothers more than anything on the planet, Dave too, but this was something different. Struggles like this were not common for the great Alvin Seville, whose public persona was one of strength and a big ego, but inside his head he was at war with himself.


ALVIN'S POV

I don't know, I just don't know… I have never felt anything like this before. We've lived together for a good while, and now only recently, I'm getting these feelings. Feelings I can't really describe. Ever since they've gone on their vacation I have felt this way. "I can't tell her… I'll look weak and vulnerable." Holy shit, I'm actually talking to myself. God I'm such a damn mess right now. I have spent months competing with Brittany, trying to prove that I'm the better chipmunk, the better leader, and now all of the sudden I have these feelings for her. I don't know how I am going to handle all of this right now, especially now that me and the boys are in the process of recording our next album. It'll be such a distraction…


3rd person

Suddenly the door to the chipmunk's room opened. Standing in the doorway was a blue clad chipmunk, Alvin's brother Simon.

"Hey Alvin, your brother and I are about to watch the hockey game in the living room, would you like to join us?", the blue chipmunk inquired.

Under normal circumstances this would be a no brainer, Alvin's favorite sport to watch was hockey, even though he played football, but today Alvin had no interest.

"I'm okay Si, just call me when dinner is on the table."

Simon found these responses very odd and unusual for Alvin, "Ok Alvin, is everything alright?" Growing frustrated from the probing that Simon was doing, Alvin snapped off a quick "I'm fine Simon, please leave…"

Simon, not wanting to start a confrontation quickly left. "Something definitely isn't right with Alvin; he never turns down the hockey game and he is never that short with any of us when we aren't fighting." Simon shrugged that to the side for now, "Maybe when Dave comes home, Alvin will open up."


ALVIN'S POV

Jeez, why can't people just mind their own fucking business? What the hell does it take for a guy to get some privacy around here? My head was starting to pound, of course, of all things that could happen right now. I laid down and closed my eyes for a little while, but found falling asleep impossible because of this headache. These thoughts of love and the confusion, along with this damn headache are driving me insane. Should I reveal my feelings to her? NO! I can't do that, what if she doesn't feel the same? My pride would be destroyed, but I'm Alvin, the leader of the Chipmunks, no one would reject me, right? Oh, what am I saying? Brittany and I aren't meant for each other. All we ever do is compete and fight.

Upon these realizations I tried to bury these feelings in the back of my head for a little while. Dave should be home soon, he'll be bringing dinner back to the house, or maybe he'll cook. Thank God, all of this stressing has me starving.

Looking to my left I saw my custom, chipmunk sized, Xbox controller. Maybe playing some video games will ease my brain. I picked up the controller and got lost in the fantasy of video games for a little while.


3RD PERSON

The two younger chipmunk brothers sat on the couch, relaxing after a long day. Outside the sun was setting, the cool dusk air blew the leaves on trees, and thunder storms could be heard in the distance. Simon sat down, reading a science article that he found on google, and Theodore sat a few feet to the left of him, eating a fudge striped cookie. The hockey game was on the TV for Alvin, but Simon's previous attempt to draw Alvin out from his room was unsuccessful. Five minutes passed and Simon heard the sound of Dave's car pull into the driveway. "Finally," Simon thought to himself, "maybe Dave will be able to reach Alvin."


Dave's POV (not something you see a lot in stories)

Wow, home at last. There really is nothing better than pulling into the driveway after a really long day at the studio. I'm so excited for the boys, they've been waiting to release a new record for a while now. I picked up my briefcase from the passenger seat and opened my car door. As I walked to the front door of the house, I saw Simon and Theodore hanging out in the living room. I hope they're hungry, I'm making pasta tonight, Alvin's favorite.

I finally reached the door and entered the household.

"Hey boys, how was your day?" Simon looked up from his laptop and responded

"Good Dave, thanks for asking."

Theodore, hungry as always responded "I had a good day Dave! What's for dinner?"

Wow, I love how no one asked me how my day was, and of course Theo asked that, he's a sweet one but I really need to watch his eating habits, "I'm making pasta tonight guys, are you ok with that?

"Sure thing Dave, pasta is always a good option. What kind of pasta?" Simon asked.

I explained how I brought home spaghetti and that I thought it was a good idea because it was Alvin's favorite. The other night we had burgers, which are my favorite, and we had Chinese the other night which is Theodore's favorite. The two boys agreed with me. As I went to go put the groceries in the kitchen, I realized that I hadn't heard or seen Alvin yet, which is unusual for obvious reasons. Anyone who knows Alvin would agree with me. I quickly scanned the living room again to make sure I didn't just miss him, but he wasn't there. This was strange considering the hockey game was on, which definitely would be Alvin's doing, but there no Alvin in sight.

"Hey Simon? Where is Alvin?" I asked.

"Well Dave, I was just about to mention that. Simon said with a serious tone. "Alvin has been cooped up in his room all day, he isn't telling us what's wrong and he has only come out once for some water.

I quickly became concerned, "He hasn't said anything to you all day?"

"Well he has, but that was only him telling me to basically leave him alone when I asked him if he was going to come out and watch the hockey game."

"Wow, that is really unlike him" I said while raising a hand to my chin, in a thoughtful stature, "Maybe he is just feeling ill?"

"I doubt it Dave, even on the rare occasion that Alvin gets sick he is never this isolated from the group." Simon suggested.

I thought for a brief moment, but could only come up with one real plan of action at the moment, "Maybe it's best if I go talk to him."

Simon agreed, "Well it's our only shot at this point Dave. Either you'll be able to reach him or we'll just have to wait and see how things turn out."

I'm not expecting much honestly, Alvin doesn't like to share his deep feelings very much, but I decided to try my luck.

"Alright boys, I'm gonna go talk to Alvin. I'll let you guys know what he says."

Simon looked up and nodded and I made my way towards Alvin's room. During my walk to the room I started to think about things that might have bothered me at Alvin's age. It can't be school because they are done completely, they graduating a few months ago. Maybe he has had a falling out with some friends? That could be a very real possibility. There is one more thing, and it actually made me stop in my tracks, what if he is having girl issues. Has Alvin been struck by Cupid's arrow, and if he has been, would he tell me?

How would that even work, if he is a chipmunk and he liked a human girl…

Ehh, that's taking me to places I don't want to go to, anyway, let's go find out.

When I reached the door, I paused. I hear Alvin is playing video games. Great, that's going to make talking to him 12 times harder. When that kid is playing a game, he is impossible to talk to. I remember coming home one day and he was playing a game in the living room, nothing I could do would get his attention, so I had to unplug the game. He wasn't happy, I can only hope this goes better.


ALVIN'S POV

What the hell?! How in the world did he catch that!?

Fuck, I'm gonna lose this game. I swear to God, every time I play Madden some dumb shit happens and I lose because of it. Just as I started to get over my crushing last minute defeat, I heard a knock on my door.

"Hey Alvin, can I come in?"

It was Dave. Jeez, Simon probably sent him here to come talk to me. I wanted to tell him to leave me alone, but I feel like I need to share my feelings with someone though, maybe Dave can help me. I told Dave to come in and placed my controller down on the night stand. This is actually a somewhat scary experience because, to be honest, I never talk to Dave about stuff going on in my life.

Dave smiled at me and said "Hey bud, what's going on? Your brothers and I are a little worried about you. It's very unlike you to stay cooped up in your room all day long."

Oh boy, he called me 'bud'.

I'm a little nervous to put my feelings out in the open for Dave, but I feel like it's time I start opening up a little more, "I don't know Dave, I guess I'm just a little confused right now."

Dave gave me a concerned look and asked "What are you confused about Alvin?"

I looked up at Dave, then down at my bed, then back up at Dave. I couldn't believe I was about to tell him this.

"Well Dave, I t-think I'm in l-l-l-love with someone."

Holy shit, I think a stuttered a thousand times. Meanwhile Dave looks like he is a mixture of shocked, happy, and scared all at once.

"Welcome to the party Alvin," Dave said with a grin "this is something we all go through, humans and chipmunks alike."

He is taking this very well, I'm surprised. I've always loved Dave like a father, even when I have trouble expressing it, but I've never felt comfortable enough to open up to him (or anyone really) quite like this. I'd never openly admit it, but even though I have my big ego, I am insecure about myself.

"Yeah, it's never something that I've thought about or felt, but recently, this one girl has really grabbed my attention."

Dave looked a little curious now, I think I know exactly what question was coming up next.

"If you don't mind me asking Alvin, who is the girl?"

Bingo! I knew that was coming. How is he gonna react when I tell him that it's Brittany? I mean yeah, we've lived together for a good period of time but it's not like we're related.

I looked Dave directly in the eyes, ready to lay it on him, "Well Dave, it's Brittany, she's been on my mind all week."

Dave sat there, silent as ever, mouth gaped open. He finally snapped out of his shock, "Wow Alvin, I mean she lived with us for awhile during your time in school. You're only having these feelings now?"

I sat there and thought about it for a little while, "Well when the girls were still living with us, me and Brittany were constantly competing. I always had somewhat of a minor crush on her, but nothing serious. I think the constant competition masked my true feelings for her."

Whoa, I think Dave is smiling, yeah, he is smiling. He looked down into my eyes, pat me on the head and told me "Alvin, I'm really happy and proud that you were able to share this with me, it shows maturity on your part. What I can tell you is that when you see Brittany, all you have to do is be yourself. There is no point in trying to be someone you aren't to get a girl, because if you do that they'll love that fake persona, not the real you. That's not a healthy relationship. The girls will be back from their trip in a few days, when they come back, I suggest you open up to Brittany and tell her how you feel."

This feels right, being able to talk to Dave about this. I'm so happy with how he has listened to me and I'm going to take his advice. I've never really seen this side of Dave, and that's my fault for not giving him a chance. I made eye contact with my adoptive father and thanked him for giving me advice, "Thanks Dave, you really helped me tonight. I feel much better now and I think I have the confidence to talk to Brittany when she returns home."

Dave smiled at me and told me that anytime I needed to talk about anything, that I could go to him, which I will now do in the future.

Dave started to get up from the bedside, but I had one more thing to say, "Wait, Dave! Before you go can I please ask you to keep this conversation between us?"

"Sure, Alvin, this'll stay between the two of us." He said before walking out of the room. He poked his head back in the room and told me that he was making pasta tonight and that it should be ready in about an hour. That made me really happy, pasta is my favorite thing to have for dinner. I guess it's time for me to go show my face, considering the fact that I'm feeling a lot better. My brothers are probably a little worried about me too. After a little stretching, I began to make my way to the door and shut the lights off to head downstairs.

WELL, THAT'S THE END OF CHAPTER ONE…

I THINK THIS IS LIGHT YEARS BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE I'VE MADE AND I HOPE YOU ALL FEEL THE SAME WAY!

NEXT CHAPTER SHOULD BE UP IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, EXPECT 15-20 CHAPTERS IN TOTAL.

SEE YOU IN CHAPTER TWO!
