OUTGOING:
A SIMONETTE FANFICTION
I DON'T OWN THE CHIPMUNKS, OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM.
Chapter 10: A Private Soap Opera:
"So, how is she?" Simon asked as Jeanette came down the stairs.
"She seems to be getting better, but upon further analysis, you'd see that Alvin is doing, by far better." Jeanette said as she went to cross the room so she could hug Simon, when she was pushed to the ground by Alvin, who came bounding down the stairs.
"Simon. You've gotta listen to me. This whole thing is gonna be the start of a war! Jeanette can't do the commercial. Please!" Alvin begged as he grabbed Simon's arms to shake him, but Simon shrugged out of his brother's grasp.
"I can't believe you'd do this. Why are you lying for Brittany, and to hurt Jeanette." Simon said as he helped Jeanette up while giving Alvin a very disappointed look that Dave probably would have given him if he was there, "You alright Jeanie?"
"Really sorry Jean, honest, but you just can't do that commercial, Britt's going nuts up there as we spe" Alvin said as Simon put his hand over Alvin's mouth.
"Just stop, Alvin! This is exactly why we didn't tell you!!" Simon said as Jeanette tried to stop him, but it was no use, what was said, was said and none of them could take it back.
"Simon," Jeanette said as she saw Alvin's eyes. He looked as if he'd had been slapped in the face, then tears came to his eyes. He tried to leave before anyone noticed, but Jeanette saw, "Alvin, wait." She grabbed his arm.
He just jerked his arm out and continued walking up the stairs. No one said a word downstairs until they heard a door slam loudly from the second floor. It was Ellie who eventually broke the silence, "Wow, it's like a private Soap Opera!" she exclaimed.
"That's the sad thing Elle," Jeanette said as she gave Eleanor a hug, not because she thought Eleanor needed one, but because, Jeanette herself, needed one, "it really is."
'I tried to warn them…' Alvin thought as he grabbed his guitar and started to play to himself.
Meanwhile the other four chipmunks watched a movie to mellow down after the ordeal. The rest of the night went fine and no one heard anything strange from upstairs, so they assumed that all was well. "I'm gonna bring some hot cocoa up to Brittany, I'll be back in a minute" Jeanette said as she started to climb the stairs and sing "September" by Daughtry.
"Jeanette!" Brittany said in shock. She was currently in the process of sticking Jeanette's bag outside the door of the guest room. She quickly recovered. "I thought I told you not to sing in that nasty tenor voice."
Jeanette knew exactly what her sister was talking about, when they all turned thirteen their voices changed, Brittany's barely fluctuated, Eleanor's got even higher, but Jeanette's dropped like a stone in water. And being the kind, understanding person Brittany has been the past few years she forced Jeanette to take voice lessons. Four hours a day, seven days a week, for a month and a half. That's how long it took to get her voice back up to a soprano without Jeanette hurting herself.
"Brittany," Jeanette said a confused tone, "what are you doing?"
"Well, I can't let someone who's trying to be as good as me stay in the same room as me." Brittany said, "Sorry." She said as she took the cocoa, handed Jeanette her bags, and closed the door.
"Brittany," Jeanette said as she tried to turn the knob, but Brittany had locked the door."Brittany, let me in!" Jeanette yelled and banged on the door.
"What's going on?" Eleanor asked as she came up the stairs.
"Is that Ellie?" Brittany asked through the door, "Because I won't let her in until you leave!"
"What's going,  Jeanette! Where are you going?" Eleanor asked as Jeanette turned and went into Simon's room. Ellie followed her, "You don't have to leave! We could just sleep outside the door together."
"It's alright Elle, I can just sleep on Simon's futon he put in here. You can just go sleep on the bed. What kind of sister would I be if I made you suffer with me?" Jeanette said as she fluffed one of the futon's pillows. "Night Ellie."
"Night Jean," Ellie said as she left the room sadly and alone.
