Alvin VS Simon (Simonette/Alvinette)

Chapter 21

A/N: Take the time to watch a small Youtube video down there all right? It's about twenty seconds, and I find the end super funny! I picked it to depict Alvin's thoughts. But the video is not mine, credits to the owner!(oh and if you're watching on phone without earplugs, ensure it isn't on silent. You won't be able to hear the music.)

"Alvin, Jeanette's coming over in what? Like- an hour? And you've not come up with a strategy on how to help her?" Simon questioned Alvin in the kitchen as Alvin grabbed a snack.

"Relax, bro. We got a whole hour." Alvin assured.

"Well, the faster we plan, the more productive this session is going to be. You're always planning things at the eleventh hour, and Jeanette will never overcome her shyness." Simon lectured.

"Come on, don't you think her shyness is adorable?" Alvin nudged Simon, and started daydreaming about Jeanette.

"W-what? Y-yeah, but... If she wants to overcome her shyness, we must help her don't you think?" Simon ranted, but realised Alvin did not say a word.

He looked to Alvin, and realised he was daydreaming.

"Alvin? A-Alvin?" Simon called, but Alvin was in his little crush world.

Simon cleared his throat, snapping Alvin out of his trance. How dare Alvin fantasise about his very own best friend! That just seemed so wrong to Simon.

"Huh, what?" Alvin blinked and shook his head, registering what Simon said.

Alvin looked at Simon who placed his hands on his hips, giving Alvin a murderous look.

"Alright, alright. I'll think of something." He assured Simon, a devilish smirk slowly forming on his face.

Half an hour later...

"This is ridiculous, Alvin." Simon remarked, giving Alvin a sideways death stare as he stood in front of the bathroom mirror, dressed in one of Jeanette's signature clothes with a wig full of brown paper strips for hair with a bow at the top.

"Yeah, that's why you're in it." Alvin responded with a smug look, placing a hand on Simon's shoulder.

"Jeanette can't see me like this! This is embarrassing!" Simon argued in a panicky tone, throwing his hands up in frustration.

"All the easier it is to show Jeanette how she acts, brilliant aren't I?" Alvin self-praised with a smirk.

"I can totally act without the embarrassment. Have you seen how confident I acted as Ammon?" Simon smirked in an attempt to burn Alvin.

"Oh, so you want to play it this way, huh?" Alvin glared at Simon.

"Well, Simon, you can either dress up in this and help, or don't help at all." He scoffed, causing Simon to groan.

Simon really wanted to help Jeanette, and he was willing to do anything to assist Alvin.

"Fine." Simon accepted in defeat.

"Thanks Bro." Alvin chuckled.

"Let's go. She'll be here any minute." Alvin gestured.

He looked out the window and in came Jeanette through a zip line.

"Come on, you can sit on my bed. And I'll explain everything to you." Alvin invited Jeanette with a confident tone.

"Oh, okay." Jeanette shyly responded, hopping to sit on Alvin's bed.

"Now Jeanette, when I walk into a room, I want people to notice me." Alvin explained.

As Simon listened through the door, he felt like backing out.

"That isn't even confident, that's just plain attention-seeking." Simon muttered, listening to Alvin speak dramatically.

"It's like I'm saying, with every footstep," Alvin continued, "Hello! Look at me everybody! I am awesome!"

"This is how you walk into a room." Alvin told Jeanette and pointed to the door.

That's my cue, Simon groaned at the thought.

But he did not budge. He did not want to let Jeanette see him dressed like her. Who would want their crush to see them dressed so ridiculously? Not that Jeanette's clothing fashion was ridiculous, she could totally pull it off. But Simon just looked plain stupid in it.

"I said, this is how Jeanette walks into a room!" Alvin demanded Simon to get in.

Simon groaned once more, before slowly opening the door.

"Um... Hi..." He greeted softly, impersonating Jeanette.

Jeanette smiled in amusement for a while, seeing Simon in her signature outfit with a wig.

"See the difference Jeanette?" Alvin scurried over to Simon and brought Simon to the bed.

"You want to be invisible, not there... Hardly noticed... Where'd she go? She was never here..." Alvin explained.

"I wish I was never here." Simon mumbled to himself.

"But I'm telling you Jeanette, you've got to straighten up!" Alvin pushed Simon into a straight position.

"Look people right in the old eyeballs," making Simon look him directly in the eyes, "hold your head up, walk proud!"

He's a terrible teacher, Simon thought, glaring at Alvin.

"I said, walk proud!" Alvin repeated to Simon.

Simon rolled his eyes and marched on the spot with a bored look.

"And next time, that little voice inside you wants you to hide, you grab it," Alvin grabbed Simon and began shaking him, "and shake it, and say ho ho, I won't!" Alvin threw Simon aside, who landed on a chair after tripping over something on the floor.

"You're not the boss of me!" Alvin announced.

"I will take chances, even if I have to embarrass myself! I will be noticed!" He added.

"So, I want to be noticed," Jeanette reflected on the lesson while climbing off of Alvin's bed, "even if I have to embarrass myself?"

"Your new motto, Jeanette, is: Look at me." Alvin advised.

"Okay, I'll give it a try..." Jeanette replied, walking backwards to the door.

Alvin threw her a wink.

"Thanks, Alvin." She smiled and closed the door as she exited the door.

Simon looked up in shock.

"A-and Simon!" He added, but Jeanette was gone.

Simon sighed in disappointment. Alvin was clearly winning Jeanette over. He felt jealous, but there was still Ammon. He may not win to Alvin, but he knew for a fact that Alvin would lose to Ammon, and Ammon sure seemed like a better guy for Jeanette. That made him worry less for Jeanette.

"I think she enjoyed the lesson." Alvin said proudly.

Simon merely pulled a miserable look behind Alvin, and sighed.

*****
A/N: I really pity Simon, but this episode is so full of Alvinette xD
It's cute though that throughout the whole episode we see a jealous Simon who tries his best to help Jeanette. Hm, I'd say neither of the ships won in this chapter, because it rather focuses on the tension between Alvin and Simon.
