A/N: Sorry it took so long. Had SEVERE writer's block with this and a few other stories and have had a infestation of Plot Bunnies for Danny Phantom.
Chapter 2
Theodore Seville had just gotten off the plane in L.A. from Paris and looked around.
"THEODORE!"
Theodore turned and smiled.
Amist the vacationing summer tourist, was his father-figure
"Hi Dave!" Theodore ran over and hugged the man.
"How was Paris?" Dave asked
"Tres bien." Theodore said in French. "How have things been here?"
"Well, they've been…interesting" Dave said. "Though there is a bit of good news"
"What?"
"Simon and Jeanette are back together"
"That's good" Theodore said with relief in his voice. "Eleanor and I didn't think they should have broken up in the first place. How'd they get back together?"
"You'd have to ask Simon or Alvin" Dave said.
0000
When Dave and Theodore got to Dave's place (Alvin's car parked in the driveway),
"SURPRISE!"
Theodore jumped at the greeting
"Welcome home Theodore" Eleanor said giving him a kiss
"Thanks Ellie. Thanks guys" Theodore said looking around.
Ms. Miller and the Chipettes were there as were Theodore's brothers: Alvin and Simon . Theodore smiled when he saw that not only was Alvin's arm around Brittany's waist, but Simon was hand in hand with Jeanette proving that Dave was right.
"Now that we're all home for good," Alvin suggested. "Time to get the Chipmunks and the Chipettes back together"
"Sounds good" Theodore said getting into a group hug with his brothers
The humans left the Chipmunks and the Chipettes alone to talk.
"So?" Theodore asked. "Simon. I heard you and Jeanette got back together. Congratulations"
"Thanks" the two with glasses chorused, Simon blushing a BRIGHT red causing Alvin and Brittany to laugh
"It's not THAT funny!" Jeanette defended knowing that Simon was still embarrassed about what had happened two months ago.
"Well Jeanette," Eleanor argued. "Looking back…you two may still be a bit embarrassed, but one day you'll be able to laugh too"
"And Jeanette," Alvin added. I was the one he called. If I'm laughing about it…"
"That's because you're you" Simon argued
"Did I miss something?" Theodore asked Eleanor
"Maybe later," Eleanor said indicating that it probably wasn't a good idea for him to be informed of the situation in front of his brothers. "So how was France?"
"You'll love it Ellie" Theodore said. "It's so beautiful. And the food was wonderful"
"We've BEEN there, remember?" Brittany reminded him "We had to hit Europe for that race"
"Yeah, but we didn't spend nine months there" Eleanor argued before turning to her boyfriend. "I bet you learned a lot"
"Yeah. Though my first night, my roommate had one too many glasses of wine that night" Theodore admitted
He KNEW something was up at the smirk Alvin was giving Simon and the Death glare Simon was giving Alvin.
"Okay. I KNOW I missed something big. What happened!"
Brittany decided that since Simon and Jeanette weren't going to say anything and Alvin was sitting a bit too close to Simon to be safe when the news got out, she'd be the one to blab
"Simon got drunk on Spring Break" Brittany announced
"BRITTANY!" Simon and Jeanette exclaimed
Theodore developed a 'does not compute' look on his face. Simon? DRUNK?
Simon sighed.
"I decided to go with some classmates to Florida for Spring Break" Simon explained to his younger brother. "And I met up with Bill and Kevin. You remember them?"
Theodore nodded.
"Well, we hung out and caught up while at a bar and I ordered something that SEEMED non-alcholic. By the time I figured it was,… I started feeling looser so I didn't change my order. Next thing I know I'm in my hotel room's bathroom leaning over the toilet and Alvin's there" Simon stated before turning to Alvin
"I had been doing my homework when I got a call from Simon when he was drunk" Alvin told his side of the story. "So, I used my car money to catch a ride to Florida on a Concord and found Simon. Got him to his hotel room and got him that hangover drink Jeanette taught me how to make."
"Alvin called me at three in the morning to get Jeanette's number so he could give it to Simon so that it wouldn't happen again" Brittany said glaring at her boyfriend.
"Then at 9 in the morning, I got a call from Brittany telling me that the mutual breakup wasn't so mutual" Jeanette said with a small smile. "When I ask what she meant and she answered, for a minute I was wondering if we were talking about the same Simon Seville"
"They've been teasing me ever since" Simon added. "Luckily, it hasn't affected my performance at Harvard so everything's good, now if it can only be forgotten."
"Not on your life" Alvin said wrapping his arm around Simon's shoulders in a brotherly manner. "If anything to keep my bigheaded-ness at a low level"
"Really?" Theodore asked wondering what Alvin had to do with Simon getting drunk
"You know those private talks we had when Alvin was at Sports' practice when we were growing up?" Simon asked
"Yeah" Theodore said remembering how both younger brothers wished they had their older brother's confidence level
"I sort of told him" Simon said pointing at Alvin
"Oh." Theodore said realizing that the call must have been QUITE the wake-up call for Alvin.
"But it doesn't matter anymore." Simon said. "it's all behind us, I now ask if a certain drink is alcoholic, and we managed to get the server in trouble since I was underage and he didn't card me since it's wrong to drink underage."
"You should have been in France. No drinking age limit" Theodore said with a joking tone.
Simon groaned.
"Tell us more about Paris" Jeanette said figuring Simon had enough attention.
"Okay" Theodore said glad that everything was okay.
Though truthfully he would have paid BIG bucks to see Simon drunk, but he'd never admit that out loud."
The REAL End
