Chapter 10: The Dance Part 2

Dave had rented a limo, which made the girls all giddy. They had never traveled in limousine before. The girls felt like princesses riding down the streets in such luxury.

“You boys went through a lot of trouble,” Miss Miller said.

“It wasn’t that much trouble,” Dave said.

“Yea,” Alvin said. “We ride in limos all the time. It’s not a big deal.”

“Yes, it is, Alvin,” Brittany said, snuggling up next to him. “I’ve never been in one.”

He looked into her eyes. They sparkled with delight. “How do you like it?” he asked.

“I love it,” she said, giggling a little.

“Did I tell you that you look beautiful tonight,” Alvin whispered in her ear. She just smiled at him and rested her head on his shoulder and enjoyed the rest of the ride.

It was a short ride, since the school wasn’t that far away. Brittany and the others girls could see the oohing and awing of the other students who arrived at the dance through the tinted windows.

The eight occupants exited the limousine. The girls were in awe. This was the first dance they had ever been to. They just couldn’t contain their excitement.

Sally and some of the other girls came over, even more excited than they were. “Hi, Brittany,” Sally said. “You look great.”

“Thanks, Sally,” Brittany said.

“Hey, Sal,” Mitchel called from a crowd of boys.

“Gotta go, Britt. He can’t go two minutes without me.”

“Oh, brother,” Alvin said.

“Hey,” Brittany said. “I think it’s sweet.” She gave him a look that said that he better agree with her.

“Okay, it was sweet,” Alvin said, but Brittany knew he was lying just to humor her.

All three chipmunk couples were all smiles as they walked into the dance. The three Chipettes were almost breathless seeing the gym all decorated and a banner reading FALL DANCE hanging high up on the wall.

Suddenly the music started. Alvin turned to Brittany bowing, which made her giggle that he was being so formal.

“May I have this dance, my lady?”

She smiled at him. “Of course you may.”

His brothers took his lead and asked their dates to dance as well.
