Brittany And The Chipettes The Squeakquel by Akira Sieghart

 Chapter 1 So Tell us    Brittany's POV 

It was late, usually we were in bed by 9:00 at the latest, and we lost track of time. It's been a long day, I thought.

It was quiet; I couldn't help but think about the future, about my sisters, about our new family… about  him .

And as I was thinking, I heard someone finally break the silence.

"So girls, tell us." He said.

We still didn't know him too well, we were nervous. We all hoped that he would like us, like us enough to take us in, enough to keep us close to  them .

"Tell you what?" I heard, I looked to my left and saw the response came from my youngest sister, Eleanor.

"Well, tell us how this all happened." He said, slightly chuckling.

We could tell he was nervous, was he trying to like us? Was he trying to push himself to approve of us… just for  their  sakes?

I tried not to think about it. But as silence once again overlapped the car, I felt it was my responsibility to tell him.

"It's kind of a long story." I began. "Are you sure you want to hear it?"

I was beginning to think that he was just trying to be polite, he seemed uninterested.

"Of course." He said firmly. "We have to know about you, especially if you're part of the family."

My eyes widened a little; did he really just say we were part of "the family"?

"As a matter of fact, I don't think we have been introduced yet. My name is Dave Seville." He calmly said.

I could sense the tension forming, I desperately wanted to scream that my name was Brittany, but I couldn't get my mouth to open. I simply sat there, I turned to my left and exchanged and slight glance with my two sisters. I could tell they were nervous too, but why? Why was I so nervous? I couldn't think straight, maybe it was because I knew that if he didn't like us, then my sisters and I would have nowhere to go… or maybe it was because I knew in my heart, that if Dave didn't like us,  he  would be taken away from me.

"Hello, my name is Eleanor." Again, I looked to my left to see a big grin on my little sister's face.

I was surprised, usually I was the first one to talk, the first one to break the silence. But I could tell… I was much more nervous than them.

"Hello, my name is Jeanette." She was the middle sister, slightly younger than me, but slightly older than Eleanor. Out of all of us, she was the most shy.

But here she was, she had gotten past that and had a happy look on her face as she looked forward. That's when I decided, I decided that it was my turn to break through the shell of tension that I built around myself.

"And my name is Brittany." I finally blurted out. I felt my face begin to warm, and I knew I must have been bright red. But why, I've never been this nervous before, no matter what happened… so why was now any different?

Before I could think about it too hard, he spoke again.

"Well, it's nice to meet you." We could see his smile in the rear-view mirror, and it seemed to be a real smile, not one of those corny grins that a relative would give you after not seeing you for a long time. "And we still have time before we get home, tell us how everything happened."

I looked to my left once more, and I was a little shocked. My sisters had already been looking at me, I could tell they wanted me to begin the story, and I nodded in agreement.

"Well, it all started…" I began, I remembered everything, even though it had been weeks, I still remembered every little detail as if it just happened.

 Chapter 2 Our Lifes Brittany's POV 

It was a bright and sunny morning. We lived in a small town, and things were usually quite. However, today, it wasn't one of those times.

"HEY!" The vendor yelled. "GIVE ME BACK MY FOOD YOU RATS!"

We had just taken a little food, we couldn't get any ourselves. We ran back to our hiding spot in an abandoned church.

We had been orphans, we never knew our parents. Since we were born, up until now, we've been on our own, and we've always watched out for each other. Just recently we found this abandoned church which has a large enough hole in the wall to get through. This was the only home we knew, and it wasn't very nice. It got cold and really creepy during the night, but we made it work.

It would be the same thing every day; we would wake up and try to get food from anywhere in town. We would then pass the time either outside or in the church playing a simple game together. A few days ago, we had found an old radio in the trash outside of a person's house, it worked. If we couldn't find something to do, we would just simply sit there and listen to music, the news, or anything else.

"Okay girls." I said, trying to catch my breath. "We should be safe now, dig in!"

I smiled as I saw Eleanor quickly get up and start digging through the food we had brought back, Jeanette however, didn't move.

"Brittany… you have to eat too." I heard her say softly. "We all have to keep up our strength."

My smile faded, I could see she was worried. Eleanor stopped, and looked up at me.

"She's right Brittany." She said as she lifted up a piece of fruit to give to me. "We're a family; we have to look out for each other."

I stared at her before swatting away her hands.

"Don't worry about me girls, I'll eat after you two finish." I said, reassuring them.

I could see that I wasn't very convincing, even if there was any food after they finished… it wasn't nearly enough to call a meal.

"No Brittany." Eleanor stated firmly, slightly raising her voice.

"She's right, Brittany." Jeanette said, slightly calmer than Eleanor but still a little loud. "We know you sacrifice a lot for us, but you don't need to give us everything if it leaves nothing for you!"

My eyes widened, Jeanette has never spoke like that. She would usually just sit back as Eleanor and I argued, but she today she was different.

"Okay, I guess you guys are right." I said giving in; I wasn't really in the mood to argue. I didn't tell them, but I hadn't eaten in a few days.

"And remember what tonight is!" Eleanor screamed.

"Oh yeah, I forgot!" Jeanette said while giggling.

"What's going on tonight?" I finally said.

I knew I should've known, but I honestly had no clue. I remembered that it was something I had been waiting for a while, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Did you really forget, Brittany?" Eleanor said, I could sense a little disappointment in her voice. "Tonight is the Chipmunks' concert in Paris!"

"Really?" I said. I couldn't believe I forgot, it was something I had been looking forward to for months.

"Yeah, I wish we could meet them." Eleanor said. "Theodore is just adorable!"

"And Simon is really cute!" Jeanette said shyly.

"You girls need to get out more!" I said, joking around of course.

"Oh please, Brittany!" Eleanor said teasingly. "Both of us know how you have a crush on Alvin!"

I began to feel my face turn bright red; my first impulse was just to deny it.

"I do not!" I said staring Eleanor down, she looked back at me and she laughed.

"Sure you don't, Brittany!" Jeanette said, rolling her eyes. I quickly shifted my vision and gave her cold stare as if I was calling her out.

"Yeah, that's why every night you go, 'Oh Alvin!'" Eleanor said as she wrapped her arms around herself and made kissing noises.

At this point, I knew my face was bright red; it was from anger and embarrassment. Suddenly, Jeanette and Eleanor started chanting.

"ALVIN AND BRITTANY SITTING IN A TREE, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

I was starting to get mad, partially because it was embarrassing, but mainly because I knew they were right. Ever since I first saw a picture of him, I've had a crush on him. Alvin Seville, the chipmunk who changed the world. He and his brothers were the only other talking chipmunks that I knew besides my sisters and I. I've told my sisters, and even myself, that one day, we'll meet them. However, that dream was starting to die down.

"OKAY! THAT'S ENOUGH!" I suddenly screamed. I didn't like being teased, and I was already in a bad mood today.

"We're just joking around Britt." Eleanor said while still giggling a bit.

"Yeah, we all like the Chipmunks, and like you said, one day we'll meet them!" Jeanette said as she started to dream about that day.

I couldn't tell them that we might never get the chance, it was one of the last hopes we had.

"I know, I know." I said, I knew my sisters could tell I was hiding something, but before they could ask me, I quickly added. "But, let's not worry about it. We'll eat now, and then listen to the concert tonight."

"Okay!" They both nodded in agreement.

Later that night.

"Come on, Brittany!" Eleanor said. She and Jeanette were sitting on the floor waiting for me. "It's about to start!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" I said walking in to the room and sitting down. "Have I missed anything?"

"No, they said that the Chipmunks are just coming on stage right now." Jeanette answered.

"''Now, ladies and gentlemen please put your hands together for…THE CHIPMUNKS!" ''The announcer from the radio said, and all of a sudden music started playing.

"Girl, you really got me now

You got me so I don't know what I'm doing

Girl, you really got me now

You got me so I can't sleep at night"

Listening to their music always made me feel better, I don't know why, but it did. There had to be some way, my sisters and I were good singers, but we had no one to represent us. That's when the idea stuck me.

"GIRLS!" I ran up to the radio as fast as I could and turned it off.

"Hey!" Eleanor said. "I was listening to that!"

"Yeah, Brittany, what's up?" Jeanette said getting off the floor.

I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it before.

"Girls, we've got talent, we just need someone to represent us right?" I asked as my enthusiasm got a hold of me.

"Yeah, but we don't have anyone." Jeanette said as her voice softened down.

"Exactly, but I got an idea!" I nearly screamed. "I know where to get the best manager!"

"Really? Where?" Eleanor said, I could tell she was just excited as me.

"We're going to go meet Ian Hawke, the same man who represents the Chipmunks!" I finally said.

As my sisters and I celebrated, I knew that this was going to change our lives. We were finally going to live happier, and we would finally have a chance to meet the Chipmunks

Chapter 3: Don't Worry

 Jeanette's POV 

For the first time in a while, I was truly happy. Brittany had thought of the perfect way for us to finally live better… and best of all meet the Chipmunks.

"But wait." Eleanor said, he smile had turned into a frown. "How are we going to get there? We don't even know where he lives."

I felt my smile starting to fade as well, she was right. Even if we could find out where he lived, we had no way to get there.

"Hmm, you may have a point." Brittany said while resting her chin in her palm. "But, I think I know a way to get there."

Eleanor and I exchanged a slight glance.

"How, Brittany?" I asked, I wanted to believe that we could make it there, but all odds seemed against us.

"Well, we could hide inside of a package and mail ourselves to his office." Brittany said, trying to reassure us.

"Does that mean that you know where he is?" Eleanor asked, you could tell by the tone of her voice that she was getting excited again.

As soon as Eleanor asked, Brittany's smile seemed to shrink, but it was still there.

"Well, no." Brittany finally said, as she looked as us she must've seen our disappointment. "But don't worry; I know that he works for Jett Records, and I'm sure we can get an address from somewhere in town."

My hope started returning, I could picture us with the Chipmunks… with Simon, and finally, we had a chance to make our dreams a reality.

"Wait, isn't Jett Records in Hollywood?" Eleanor asked, we could tell she was nervous, but we didn't know why.

"Well, yeah. But don't worry, we'll be fine." Brittany said as she hugged us both. "Let's get some sleep, and then tomorrow we'll start looking for clue on what the address is."

I could see Eleanor roll her eyes and sigh. I went over to her, if something was bothering her, maybe I could help. I AM her sister.

"Eleanor, um, are you alright?" I asked softly, I tried to keep the conversation low so Brittany wouldn't know. I thought Eleanor would talk easier if she knew that it was private.

"I'm fine Jeanette, I'm just worried." She said as she laid down, she seemed to have a sad expression, I decided to dig further.

"About what, aren't you excited?" I asked, I knew I must've had a confused look on my face, but I WAS confused.

"You know I've wanted to meet Theodore for a long time, of course I'm excited." Eleanor said as she looked into my eyes.

I looked back; she still wasn't letting me through. If I was going to help her, I needed her to open up.

"Please, Ellie. Tell me what's bothering you; it'll make us both feel better." I said, I was starting to get worried.

"Well, what if something happens?" I could see the tears in Eleanor's eyes starting to build up; all I could do was give her a hug.

"What do you mean Eleanor?" I asked, I knew she was upset, but I still didn't know too much about the problem.

"W-well, what if we get lost on the way there, or what if he doesn't like us, or wh-" I cut her off by giving her a great big hug.

He eyes widened, but then she calmed down and embraced me back.

"Don't worry, Ellie. Everything is going to be fine." I said trying to calm her down.

"Jeanette's right, Eleanor, we're going to meet Ian and he's going to turn us into stars." Brittany said… I didn't know she had been listening, but I was pretty glad she was.

I could feel Eleanor trembling; I didn't want her to be afraid, I also didn't want her to know that I had been a little afraid too. She had a point, there was no guarantee that we were going to make it to Ian, and there was definitely no way we knew that he was going to agree to manage us… but this was our only shot… we HAD to take it.

"Thanks guys." Eleanor said as we broke apart. "I feel better now."

"Well good, we need to get some sleep. Tomorrow we'll get up early and go into town to get that address, and then we'll come back and plan this out." Brittany said as she covered herself with blankets.

"Good night, Brittany. Good night, Jeanette." Eleanor said while yawning.

"Good night, Eleanor. Good night, Brittany." I also said, I was tired, today had been a long day and I was glad to finally have a chance to sleep.

"Good night, guys!" Brittany said. We almost couldn't understand her; she fell asleep while saying it.

Eleanor and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes, we both then proceeded to go to sleep ourselves.

Chapter 4: Lies and Opportunities

 Jeanette's POV 

The next morning

"GET UP GIRLS!" Brittany screamed. "We have to go into town!"

I was starting to wake up on my own, but that did the job perfectly.

"Brittany, it's too early!" Eleanor said as she fought back. "Can't we go later?"

Eleanor wasn't usually tired in the morning, or cranky, she must have been up late after we all went to bed.

"No, we have to go now." Brittany said while ripping the sheets off Eleanor.

"HEY!" Eleanor screamed with a sour look on her face, I couldn't help but laugh.

"We have to go now, the sooner we leave the sooner you both can meet your Chipmunks" Brittany said as she folded Eleanor's blanket.

"Yeah, and the sooner you and Alvin can meet each other." I mumbled.

"Excuse me? I hope you two aren't still hung up on this, I DO NOT have a crush on Alvin Seville!" Brittany said, her face was starting to redden, not from embarrassment this time, all from anger.

"Yeah, you don't have a crush on Alvin, you LOVE Alvin!" Eleanor said while giggling.

"I DO NOT!" Brittany screamed.

"Okay, Brittany! There is nothing between you and Alvin." I said while sighing, it was too early for her to be mad, and we found the perfect buttons to push.

"Good." Brittany said as she got up, and walked away.

"Yet…" Eleanor mumbled almost silently.

I looked at her and started to laugh, but caught myself so Brittany wouldn't suspect anything. Brittany wasn't really a morning person, in fact, neither was I. The only one who liked the morning was Eleanor; she was usually up before anyone else. But today, Brittany was the first to get up, and that proved it. She was more excited about meeting Ian than we were, either because she wanted to get our careers going, or she really did want to meet the Chipmunks. Either way, she wouldn't admit it so I shrugged it off.

Later that day

It was around noon, we had already gotten breakfast, and we had already searched a couple places for the Address of Jett Records.

"Okay, let's try here." Brittany said as she pointed to a newspaper stand.

We quickly got up, and when no one was looking, we swiped a newspaper and darted behind a building.

"Okay, now let's see here." Brittany said as she went through the newspaper. "Ha! Found it! 3564 Franklin Ave."

I was surprised, I thought we would find the address eventually, but I didn't think this quick.

"Okay, so how are we going to "mail" ourselves there, Brittany?" I said. I didn't want to sound like I was skeptical about going, but I knew I must have.

"Don't worry. I found this old FedEx packaging we can use; it's back at the church." Brittany said, still looking through the newspaper.

I couldn't believe it, this would actually work. We would be able to finally meet the Chipmunks and start our music career!

"Alright, let's go girls." Brittany said suddenly, we all then darted back to the church.

"So, how are we going to do this Brittany?" Eleanor asked, I couldn't blame her, I was curious too.

"We are going to hide inside the package, we then mail ourselves to the address, break out, and meet our new manager." Brittany said while opening the packaging.

I thought of a problem.

"What about food and water? We don't even know how long it'll take us to get there." I said, we may have an address, and a plan to get there, but we didn't know what to do on the way there.

"We're going to bring food and water with us, we only need to stay quiet and stop moving so nobody will catch us." Brittany said while putting fruit into the bag.

"So when are we going to leave?" Eleanor asked, she didn't act excited, but you could tell she was.

"Uh, as soon as I finish we'll go." Brittany said, still packing everything into the package.

"Don't you think that's a little too soon, Brittany?" Eleanor asked.

"We can't wait too long, what if the Chipmunks go on tour or something? This is our only chance." Brittany said calmly.

Brittany had a point, if the Chipmunks did go on tour; there would be no way to know when they would get back. This was our only shot, and we had to take it.

"You're right, Brittany. We have to go now." I quickly added, I could tell they were surprised. I usually never spoke up; I would usually just simply agree or disagree.

"Okay, now both of you get in." Brittany said, holding the bag open.

Eleanor and I shared a last glace, sighed, and got in the small bag. As we got in, we were surrounded by food, and when Brittany climbed in, she sealed the bag. As time went by, I was sure of two things; that this was going to be a long trip, and that if I hadn't been claustrophobic already… I was going to be by the time we got there.

"Okay, we've all been quiet for over an hour, it we are EVER going to make it to Hollywood, then we NEED to talk about something!" Brittany said, I only looked at her and rolled my eyes… she told US to be quiet?

"What do you want to talk about, Brittany?" I asked, she had a point… we were in a package, there wasn't much to do.

"Let's talk about what we're going to once we get there." Eleanor suggested, she seemed like she was hinting at something, but I paid no attention to it.

"Well, we're going to be dropped off at Jeff Records. Then, we need to find Ian, and perform for him." Brittany explained, it didn't seem like much of a plan, but I could tell she had been thinking about it for a while.

Suddenly we heard a loud noise outside.

"Alright, just calling in, I've made it to Hollywood. I have a couple stops to make, and then I need to deliver seven packages to Jett Records. It should be about four or five hours before I finish my shift, see you then."

My eyes widened, four to five hours? I didn't know if I was happy or disappointed, I didn't think I could make it five more hours crammed in a package… with my sisters.

"Alright, girls, five hours left. Let's get some rest before we get there." Brittany said, she proceeded to lie down and take a nap.

At this point, a nap didn't sound too bad. As soon as my head reached the floor, I fell asleep.

A few hours later

''' "Oh, Simon, I love you." I said as we gazed into each other's eyes. '''

''' "I love you too, Jeanette. I need you to do me a favor though, okay?" Simon asked. '''

''' "Of course, anything for you, Simon" I said playfully. '''

 "I need you to wake up. Wake up Jeanette. Wake up…" 

"WAKE UP JEANETTE!" Brittany screamed in my ear as I jumped.

"Huh, w-what?" I said as I looked around, confused. Was that all a dream? It seemed too real, but, it must've been.

"Jeanette, they're about to pick up all the packages for Jett Records… and in case you don't remember… THAT'S US!" Brittany said, literally screaming.

"Okay, okay. I get it Brittany, I'm sorry; I was just having a good dream." I said, feeling a little hurt. We usually didn't shout at each other, but when we did, it made me feel horrible.

"What was it, Jeanette?" Eleanor asked.

I looked at her, confused.

"Your dream? What was it?" Eleanor asked again.

"Oh, i-it was nothing." I said, I don't know why I had the dream, but it would be too embarrassing to discuss with anyone.

"Are you sure?" Eleanor, once again, asked.

"I'm sure." I said, I even managed to get a smile on my face.

"Be quiet, someone's coming." Brittany said placing a finger on her lips.

Suddenly, the truck door was opened, and I could feel our bag being lifted into the air. We knew that our bag was being brought into Jett Records. We all pushed, and our bag fell out of the large bin with all the other packages.

"Girls, we gotta get out of here!" Brittany said as we all struggled to break through the packaging.

"I can't see!" Eleanor yelled, getting her legs free.

"Not on my noise! Hey, that's my tail!" Brittany screamed as she got her legs through the packaging.

"Sorry!" I said as I realized I stepped on something, I also had gotten my legs free.

"Move your butt!" Brittany yelled.

"Okay." Eleanor said, trying to move.

"Who's squishing me?" I questioned. But before I could get an answer, we ran into a wall.

We fell, but got up quickly and dug through the rest of the packaging.

"We made it, Jett Records!" Brittany said.

"Phew!" I screamed, being stuck in the package for hours, I was just happy to be out.

We looked up and saw a man by a fountain, it was him.

"Oh my gosh, it's him, Ian Hawke!" Brittany said while pointing to the man. "Um, Mr. Hawke?" Brittany said, trying to get his attention. After realizing it didn't work, she signaled us to follow her as we ran closer to him. "Hello? Mr. Hawke!" Brittany said again, slightly louder, this time, we got his attention.

"What do you want?" Ian said while turning around. His face quickly grew from anger, to astonishment.

"We want to introduce ourselves." Eleanor said, jumping onto the fountain.

"That's right. I'm Brittany, and this is my sister Eleanor." Brittany said.

"Hello, Sir, such a pleasure to meet you!" Eleanor said.

Ian quickly bent down to our height; he looked like he couldn't believe we were real.

"And I'm their sister, Jeanette! Although, I feel more like an Olivia, or sometimes a-" I began, but Brittany cut me off.

"Anyway, we're the Chipettes, and well, we would just be so honored if you would represent us." Brittany began. "You made Alvin and the Chipmunks stars; we want to be stars too." Brittany said as she and Eleanor wrapped their arms around me.

"Yeah!" I said, I couldn't think of anything else to say.

"And hang out with the Chipmunks!" Eleanor said, and she and I giggled.

"Okay, now listen, before we get all girly and giggly about this… just tell me one thing, you can sing… right?" Ian said, he looked a little shocked.

We all smiled and turned around. We picked the best song we knew, and started counting down.

"Wait, hang on. Not here, um, why don't we take this meeting upstairs in my penthouse office?" He said, smiling.

"Sure!" We all said.

"This is so exciting!" Eleanor said.

"We're really on our way now!" Brittany said as we ran through the door and up the stairs.

As we ran up the last flight of stairs, leading to the roof, we all gasped.

"Oh my gosh, can you believe it?" Brittany said as we ran around on the roof.

"My first penthouse office!" Eleanor yelled.

We ran on top of what seemed to be the Jett Records logo, and looked into the distance, it was the Hollywood sign.

"Thought you might like the view." Ian said as he walked over to his desk. "So ladies, tell me a little something about yourselves." He said as he regained his breath, obviously running up the stairs was more tiring for him than us.

"Well, we grew up in a small town, population three hundred and-" Brittany began, but was cut off by Ian.

"Yeah, really? That's fascinating, great. Alright, impress me." Ian said as he sat on his chair and put his feet up.

We did the same as before, we turned around, and began counting down.

"Three little birds

Sat on my window

And they told me I don't need to worry

Girl put your records on

Tell me your favorite song

You go ahead, let your hair down

Sapphire and faded jeans

I hope you get your dreams

Just go ahead, let your hair down"

When we finished, we all took a slight pose.

"Girls, girls, girls, girls. Guess who just became the number one Chipette fan in the whole dang world… IAN HAWKE THAT'S WHO!" Ian said, approaching us.

We all squealed and ran over to him.

"So when can we meet the Chipmunks?" Eleanor asked, I couldn't believe it, for a second… I actually forgot about them. But now my mind was back on track, and my heart was beating faster every second waiting for a reply.

"Uh, that's an excellent question, and the excellent answer is… I don't really represent Alvin and the Chipmunks anymore." Ian said.

"Oh no." Eleanor silently said.

"W-what happened?" Brittany said, I could see disappointment in her eyes, even if she didn't admit it, she wanted to meet the Chipmunks just as much as we did.

"Oh, classic tale, sweet and innocent when I met them, they had nothing, then I work my butt off to make them rock stars… and they changed… turned on me like bad cheese.

"No." Brittany said quietly.

"That's terrible." I said, disappointed.

"I know!" I treated Alvin like he was my own son, then he just goes and spits on me… literally… he filled his chipmunk cheeks with saliva and just had at it. And don't even get me started with Simon." Ian said quickly.

I gasped, I felt as if my heart had been ripped out. There had to be some mistake… there HAD to be.

"But not… Theodore… right?" Eleanor asked.

"It's the cuddly ones you have to watch out for."

Eleanor's head dropped as Brittany and I went to comfort her.

"But are we talking about them for? Come on, they're over, tired, novelty acts. Chipmunks who can sing?" Ian said while faking a yawn. "BUT, girl chipmunks who can sing? Fasten your seat belts!"

All three of us got up and started celebrating. This finally went the beginning of our career, but I still couldn't help but wonder if Ian was keeping from us, however, I just shrugged off the thought as engaged with my sisters.

"Let's go back to my place so we can talk about your careers." Ian said as he went back to the stairs.

We followed him, and I finally thought… this is where our luck would turn around... or... so I thought.
