A chipmunk love story part 3

"C'mon, Jeanette!" Alvin said to Jeanette, who was still in the room 'saying goodbye' to Simon. "We have to go."

"I'm coming!" Jeanette said. "See you tomorrow, Simon."

Jeanette exited the room, giving Alvin an annoyed look. "Don't look at me like that." Alvin said. "I'm hungry and we're going out for taco's."

Jeanette rolled her eyes and she walked with Alvin until they reached the main hall, but then stopped in her tracks and looked back at the wing where Simon's room was.

"What's wrong?" Dave asked who was waiting at the exit of the hospital with the others.

"I don't want to leave him." She said, taking a step backwards. "I don't know why, but I have this bad feeling that if I leave him something bad will happen to him."

"Don't be ridiculous, Jean." Eleanor said. "He will be just fine."

"That what we thought before we got here today." Jeanette said, taking another step backwards.  "And look what happened." She almost started to hyperventilate.

"Easy, Jeanette." Dave soothed. "Do you want to stay here this night?"

Jeanette smiled. "Can I?"

"Sure, I'll bring over some stuff if you want." Dave said. "What would you need?"

Jeanette gave it a thought. "My night dress, the book under my pillow." She began. "Oh, and my dress for the party tomorrow."

Dave stared at her for a second, and then turned to Brittany. "Help me with the clothes?" he asked.

Brittany giggled and turned to Jeanette. "Don't worry, sis." She said. "I'll make sure he'll bring the right dress."

"Thank you." Jeanette said and ran back to Simon's room. "see you later, Dave."

Simon had just started zapping through different TV Channels when Jeanette ran in. "Jean?" he asked. "Did you forget something?"

"No, I'm staying for the night." Jeanette said, jumping on Simon's bed and taking a few steps in his direction. "So, what do you think?"

"I think it's great." Simon smiled. "But what for the party tomorrow."

"I'll dress here and Dave will pick me up." She said. "So, will I sleep in one of the chairs or should I commandeer one of the drawers?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Jeanette." Simon said. "You'll sleep in my bed."

Jeanette froze. "Sleep with you?" She said. "in the same bed."

"Better to be comfortable." Simon said. "Something wrong with it?"

"No, no, it's just …just…" She stuttered.

"I see what's going on." Simon said. "you're a bit nervous to sleep with you boyfriend for the first time."

"Well, we just got together yesterday." She said.

"We will just sleep in the same bed." Simon said. "Nothing more."

"For me it's a big step." Jeanette said.

"Just come lay next to me, silly." Simon smiled.

Jeanette did a few insecure steps in his direction but then quickly took a seat next to him. For a few moments, both chipmunks were a bit uneasy, but that changed when Simon used his arm that was not in a cast, to pull Jeanette a bit closer to him. She cuddled against him and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "I'm so lucky with you." She whispered in his ear."

"So am I with you." He whispered back. He laid his hand on her soft cheek and looked her deep in the eyes. She looked away, giggling.

Half an hour later Dave arrived with Jeanette's stuff and some more books for Simon. He didn't stay very long, probably to give the couple some time alone. Jeanette unpacked her stuff and saw that Dave had included a digital watch. She saw that the alarm was set, so she would wake up in time to get to the last day of school tomorrow. She gave an annoyed sigh when she saw which night dress Brittany had picked out for her.

"I'm gonna kill you, Brittany." She whispered, yet with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Simon, who had heard her whisper, asked.

Jeanette turned around and showed him her night dress. "It's ones of Brittany's." she said.

Simon could see that. It was a silk pink night dress, with very narrow shoulder straps and it didn't reach further than her knees. "I think she wanted to set a mood." He teased.

"I don't find it funny." Jeanette said, nevertheless getting down from the bed with the dress in her had. She dove under the bed and pulled the sheets a bit down to have some cover.

At that moment, a nurse came in. "Your father called and said that you have someone sleeping over, Mr. Seville." She said. She looked around. "Where is she?"

"I'm here." Jeanette said under the bed. "Just …changing for the night."

The nurse raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you change in the bathroom?"

"Can't reach the door handle." She simply said. She came from under the bed, wearing the pink dress. The nurse gave her a long look. Jeanette shrugged a bit embarrassed. "My sister." She simply said.

The nurse chuckled. "I know what you're going through. I have my own sister." After making sure that the two chipmunks all had what they needed, she left.

Jeanette jumped back on the bed. Simon's eyes nearly popped out when he saw her. "Y-you look …amazing." He stuttered.

"Y-you thinks so?" She asked.

"Do you think I would lie to you?" Simon smiled.

"I guess not." Jeanette concluded. She walked over to the pillow Simon was resting on and took a seat next to Simon. She pulled the sheet over her and cuddled against him. "Good night, Si. You need your rest."

"Good night, Jean." Simon said, putting his arm over her and pulling her close. Soon both fell fast asleep.

The next day all chipmunks, the ones at home as the ones at the hospital, woke up early to prepare for the party. The party would start around 11Am, but all students wanted to go early to say goodbye to their favorite teachers, talk to friends they wouldn't see again for three months and just to have a bit fun before the party.

Alvin and Theodore were dressed the same thing they wore during the Battle of the Bands. The two Chipettes all were dressed in sparkling dresses that had their 'trademark color', like Alvin teasingly pointed out.

Around 9am, the gang decided to visit Simon at the hospital before they would go to school. It was a silent trip to the hospital.

"What wrong, guys?" Dave asked, watching the road. "Last day of school and there will be a party. Why the long faces."

"It won't be the same without Simon." Theodore said.

"Yeah, I know." Brittany said. "But he would us to have fun, even if he won't be there."

"I feel mostly sorry for Jeanette." Eleanor said, holding Theodore's hand. "It will be difficult for to have fun without Simon."

"You can't change what happened." Dave said, parking the car. The Chipmunks ran to Simon's room, where they found Jeanette, wearing her sparkling purple dress. After the sister had exchanged hugs, Jeanette gave Brittany a soft hit on the shoulder.

"What was that for?" Brittany asked.

"That's for that night dress you gave with Dave." Jeanette whispered. "I've never felt so embarrassed."

"Sis, ALL your night dresses look like the ones who are worn by a 80 year old lady." Brittany said. "I thought you needed something more …spicy for your first night with Simon alone."

"All spice you up if you ever pull that joke again." Jeanette said, nevertheless smiling. "But thanks."

"Anytime, sis." Brittany smiled.

"Ready to go?" Dave asked half an hour later.

"No." Jeanette said, giving Simon a sad look. "But I'll guess we have to."

"C'mon Jean." Alvin said, putting his arm around Brittany. "It'll be fun."

"I guess so." Jeanette said with a sad face, trying to smile anyway. She gave Simon a last hug and kiss. "I'll see you later, Si."

"Try to have fun, Jean." Simon whispered, before turning his attention to the others.. "Have fun, you guys!"

"We will!." Alvin and Brittany yelled in unison as they left the room.

After Simon was sure that the others had left the hall and left with the car, he threw off his sheets and called a nurse.

"Time to put my plan to work." He said to himself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"And that were the Chipettes with 'Hot 'n Cold'!" Alvin yelled in the microphone. An enormous applause cam and the Chipettes took a bow.

"DJ, it's your turn!" Alvin yelled. "Everybody shake what your mamma gave ya!"

The Five Chipmunks went backstage. The Chipettes discussed which song they would sing next. They didn't notice that a door opened and a figure sneaked in. It slowly approached the five chipmunks.

"What's up, guys?" The figure said.

"SIMON?" The five chipmunks said, both in disbelief as joy. Simon was sitting in a chipmunk-sized wheelchair, but smiling brightly.

Jeanette ran to her boyfriend and hugged him. Then she gave him an angered look. "WHY AREN'T YOU RESTING IN THE HOSPITAL?"

"Easy, easy, Jeanette." He soothed. "The doctors said I'm fit enough to go, IF I promised to return after a while."

"You can thank me for that." Dave, who came from behind the wheelchair-bound Chipmunk, said. "I've seen how sad Jeanette was that Simon couldn't make it, so I discussed it with the doctors yesterday and they gave me permission to pick him up."

"Thanks Dave." Jeanette said, kissing her boyfriend on the cheek.. "This means much to me."

"Are you strong enough to sing, Simon?" Theodore asked hopeful.

Simon nodded. "Go and introduce us, Al." He said to his older brother.

Alvin ran on stage and climbed the micro so he could speak in it. "Can I have your attention please?" he said. The crowd became silent. If Alvin Seville had something to say, they'd listen. "Some of you were there when my brother Simon had his …accident two days ago. Some of you heard of it."
Theodore ran in the meantime to the DJ and told him what music he had to play.

"You will be all glad to hear that he's doing fine. He's doing more than fine." Alvin continued. "Can I have a massive, West Eastman applause for MY BROTHER SIMON, who felt fit enough to join us this evening and sing a song with us!"

Simon wheeled on stage, while receiving a thunder of applause. He waved at the people in the crowd. Questions were yelled from the crowd. Brittany came from backstage with the Chipmunks' headset and gave it to them. The three Chipmunks took their places.
"This is a song dedicated to our girlfriend, The Chipettes. 'Cause baby, 'you spin me round and round." Alvin gave the DJ a sign and the music started.

Yeah I, I got to know your name
Well and I, could trace your private number baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some

Well I...I set my sights on you
(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're havin' fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

*You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

I, I got be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in
Just a little bit closer
(little bit closer)

**All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

[*Repeat]

I want your love
I want your love
[**Repeat]

The crowd when wild and the three Chipmunks smiled brightly. Then they went back backstage.

Brittany ran to Alvin and grabbed him in a hug. "Alvin, you've done great." She said, kissing him. "All of you."

"You really were." Eleanor said, hugging Theodore.

"You've done really great, Simon." Jeanette said, kissing her wheelchaired boyfriend.

"Thank you." Simon said. "Let's get off the stage and go meet the other students. I think they all want to say their goodbyes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeanette had the time of her life, now that Simon was here. She laughed with Alvin's jokes, chatted away with her sisters and danced on the music. The six chipmunks didn't dance on the dance floor, but stayed on the small circular tables that were spread around the room. Simon couldn't do much dancing in his wheelchair but he tried his best to let Jeanette have the time of her life. Dr. Rubin, as promised; was taping the Party. Not only for Simon, but also for students who had done their final year at school and wanted a souvenir of that year. When she came to the table the Chipmunks were dancing on, they all laughed and waved at the student who would one day watch his copy of this tape. Everyone had a good time.

But all good stories come to an end. Dave came to pick Simon up to return him to the hospital. Jeanette wanted to come with them but Simon refused. "It's not because I have to leave that you have, Jean." Simon, who was picked up by Dave with wheelchair and all, said.

"But without you I don't have fun." She begged. "Let me come with you."

"Sorry, Jeanette." Simon smiled. "I'm putting my paw down on this one."

"You're mean." Jeanette smiled and she stuck out her tongue. Simon laughed. "see you tonight."

Jeanette smiled and waved as Dave left. "Bye!"

"Feeling better, than an hour ago?" Eleanor asked.

Jeanette gave a loving sigh. "More than you can ever imagine."

"Well, this party will keep going 'till 4PM." Alvin said. "After that we can go visit him."

"That's three more hours." Brittany said to her sister. "If you can have fun for at least two of them, I'll will leave an hour earlier with you to visit him. Okay?"

Jeanette gave it a thought. "Deal!" She said.

The party kept going for two more hours, like Alvin said. The Chipettes had done some more songs and Brittany and Alvin had even done a duet. Eleanor and Theodore had snuck away to a place more quiet and Jeanette was having a drink on their table. In the meantime she was answering question from fellow student.

"Yes, I'm with Simon." She answered.
"Yes, it happened so fast that I couldn't react to it." She answered.
"I think that Alvin wouldn't do that to you, Angie." She answered. "It think it's a prank from the football team."
"Yes." She answered. "He has probably saved my life."

And so one.

Then came the moment that Brittany had to fulfill her part of the deal. Both Chipmunks left early to visit Simon in the hospital. After getting lost and using the phone of a nice passenger to call Dave to pick them up and apologizing to Dave for not calling him in the first place, they arrived in the hospital, where they soon arrived in Simon's room.

They noticed that a doctor was standing in Simon's room. Jeanette felt her head spinning slightly. She had seen him two hours ago. She hoped that nothing bad had happened. She entered the room.

"Did something happened." Jeanette immediately asked.

Simon looked up from his pillow. "Jeanette? Brittany?" he asked as the doctor left. "I thought you were at the party."

"You know Jeanette." Brittany said, giving her sister a soft push. "But to repeat her question, did something happen?"

"No, no." Simon said. "After I had returned from the party I underwent a total checkup. They did some tests and the results said that I can return home In a week or so."

"That's great news, Simon." Dave said, taking a seat next to Simon's bed.

"Yeah, I'll be glad to be back home." Simon said.

Jeanette took a seat next to Simon and kissed him. "I'll be glad too."
