Simon's Point of view

I jumped off of Alvin's bed, walked past Brittany, and approached Jeanette.

She looked at me, smiling, I smiled back.

"So, uhh,... are you both good?" I asked, starting a conversation.

"Yeah,..." She answered.

"So,... shall we go to bed?" I said.

"N-NO!" She bellowed. (Jeanette's POV: I can't sleep yet, that feeling's back again!)

I raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Okay, so what are we going to do?" I asked.

(Jeanette's POV: I looked over at the window, the full moon's at it's brightest! Oh no, I can't hold myself for long! But I can't give him negative thoughts either!)

I looked at her paw, hanging on her side, confusion struck me when I saw it clenched in a fist, shaking.

"Jeanette, you're shaking,... are you alright?" I asked.

"huh, wh-,... yeah, I'm fine." Her fists returned to normal, but still shaky. "What I was saying was,... I-I don't feel that sleepy yet, c-can we watch a movie first? Downstairs, to pass the time?" She asked weakly.

"Uh,... yeah,... sure." I was still confused of her condition, but I shook it off and followed her downstairs.

Once we got into the living room, it was dead empty, no signs of Dave, just the two of us and the television. We climbed up and sat down next to each other on the couch and clicked the remote.

I cycled it towards the science channel, and looked at her. "This any good?" I asked.

"Y-yeah, anything is alright." She answered.

I sat down next to her, my tail curling up around her waist. I had my eyes to the science channel for a while, until the break came. I gave my look over to Jeanette, concern hit me like a bullet to see her wrinkling her nose, paws clenched and arms shaking.

"Jeanette, are you sure you're okay?" I asked with concern.

"H-hu- yeah,... I'm fine,... just cold, that's all." She said, releasing her expression and avoiding eye contact.

I didn't even turned on the fan yet, all the windows are locked, she has her demin jacket on, how can she be cold?

Well, I didn't give any second thought, with all my concern, I tried to help her. I took my sweater off, exposing my body, and wrapped the blue cloth around her as a blanket.

She shifted her head to look at me, and I can tell she had a shock expression when she did.

(Jeanette's thoughts: Oh, no, Simon, don't! I won't be able to hold myself any longer. I gave sight to his exposed body, I started to pant harder.)

"Simon, what's this?" She asked weakly and timidly, looking at the sweater I wrapped around her.

"It's okay, just leave it on, you're cold." I said.

"N-no, it's not that..." She looked at me.

I know what she meant. "It's alright, we're chipmunks, in case you forgot. I've live in the wild for a year with nothing on but my fur, along with my brothers." I stated.

She nodded and stared back at the T.V.

I'm still concerned about her. What's wrong with her? She's shaking like mad! I thought it'd subside for a few minutes, now I gave her a makeshift blanket, but I was wrong, she began to shake even more intensely.
