Rough sketch that I envisioned as like a title card for Alvin 2.0 and the Chipmunks.

Alvin is probably the first main character to ever get a “spinoff” of his own show.

Spiritual successor, but Alvin is different enough thanks to character growth for it to qualify as a spinoff show.

Jeanette: You have nice hair.

Alvin 2.0: Correction. I HAD nice hair. Now, I have…whatever this is, (Points to his mad scientist hairdo) and I have to wrangle it into nice hair.

Time to let you see a sneak peek of some dialogue that may or may not make it into the Geeks In Love story.

SIMON: How do you rack up 80 dollars worth of library fines!?

ALVIN 2.0: I read a lot of books…and forget to return them.

SIMON: 80 dollars!? 80 DOLLARS!?

ALVIN 2.0: Uhhh….that’s the downside of having a library card.

JEANETTE: We’ll pay you back. We promise.

SIMON: (groans)

ALVIN 2.0: But the thing is, I’ve never felt anything like this….this intensity for someone before. It doesn’t feel like my other crushes.

THEODORE: How does it feel?

ALVIN 2.0: Well, it’s…..oh god.

THEODORE: What?

ALVIN 2.0: I feel about Jeanette the way I feel about…physics. OH CRAP! I REALLY DO LOVE HER, THEO! What am I gonna DOOOO!?

JEANETTE: Do you think Alvin…LIKES me?

ELEANOR: Well, when he was acting all weird around you at Space Camp, I thought he did. He chose Brittany though, so maybe he didn’t actually like you and Theo and I were reading too much into it.

JEANETTE: He didn’t choose Brittany. He told me the publicity dates were just for show. They don’t mean anything. It’s just to humor the marketing team.

ELEANOR: Oh this is BAD. You get why this is bad, right?

JEANETTE: Does Brittany think….

ELEANOR: YES! 100% OFFICIAL!

JEANETTE: Gee willikers. This is a dilly of a pickle.

SIMON: If you aren’t in love with Brittany, why do you keep agreeing to kiss her? Surely that can’t ALL be for the fans.

ALVIN 2.0: She’s a pretty girl who actually wants to kiss me. You do the math.

SIMON: You really are despicable.

ALVIN 2.0: I’m giving her the fantasy she wants. What’s the harm in that? She knows it’s not real. We’re actors. (Sprays his breath) Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to practice my smoochy face.

SIMON: ….and now I’m disgusted.

BRITTANY: Your feelings for Jeanette aren’t real. Like Simon said, you only fell in love with her helping you. You don’t love her romantically. You love her as someone to share your emotions with. I could share emotions with you too. We could share them together. Please, don’t throw this all away and date my sister! She belongs with Simon!

ALVIN 2.0: But….but I love her! It’s not fake! It’s not transference or misplaced affection…it’s genuine love! I want Jeanette Miller to be my Mystic Mate!

BRITTANY: Well, unfortunately, you don’t get to choose.

ALVIN 2.0: Who says?

BRITTANY: Uh, Karma’s daughter named Destiny.

ALVIN 2.0: Screw Destiny. I want Jeanette!!!!

BRITTANY: You can’t date my sister. She doesn’t even like you back!

ALVIN 2.0: She might, but she’s hiding it from you. We have great chemistry! I just have to talk to her.

ELEANOR: Alvin, buddy, give it up. You can’t make a love triangle. This isn’t that kind of TV show.

ALVIN 2.0: Too late. I’ve made up my mind. I’ve spent a lot of time trusting my brain. Now, I gotta trust my heart.

ALVIN: I hate her. (Talking about Brittany)

JEANETTE: (sadly) Really?

ALVIN: No. I just hate how much I love bein’ her friend….you know….when she acts like THAT!

JEANETTE: You are a very confusing individual.

ALVIN: That’s what you like about me, right?

JEANETTE: Among other things.

ALVIN: What else do ya like about me?

JEANETTE: (giggles) Watch that ego, Alvin.

ALVIN: Sorry sorry. I’m just curious!

Fresh off the press! It’s Mini Tale 12! This one is loosely inspired by the episode A Room Of One’s Own, but it takes a new approach.

The munks have not been super active on Tumblr this weekend because they’ve been roleplaying with friends while also writing this. Expect them back with posts about their weekends tomorrow!
