It all started on a hot summer day. The Chipmunks, the Chipettes, and Dave were getting ready to go on vacation on a cruise ship. Brittany was trying to figure out which shirt to wear for this event.

"Hmm... not this one... or this... or this...", she mumbled to herself.

"Bet you wish you had one with an A on it, huh?", Alvin joked as he grinned smugly. At this, Brittany rolled her eyes.

"Real funny, Alvin," she said.

"Uh, Brittany? Why don't you just wear this one?", suggested Dave. To Brittany's horror, it was a long-sleeved light pink shirt with two fuchsia-pink stripes across it, and it had huge ripped holes in it. There was a huge hole in the left armpit and a vertical hole on the right arm.

"What?! You expect ME to wear THIS?", asked Brittany. Dave must have been kidding! Why would he ask Brittany to wear a ripped shirt?

"It's the only one I could find for you. Plus, you'll be wearing a jacket anyway. It's not like anyone's gonna be seeing it," said Dave.

"Well... okay. I guess since I'm gonna be wearing a jacket, it doesn't really matter," accepted Brittany.

"Yeah, you'll do just fine... Britt the Ripper!", joked Alvin as he bursts out laughing. In response, Brittany gives Alvin an annoyed glare.
