❝no matter how good you are, you will always be replaced❞

     Alvin and his brothers had just performed their latest song a few days ago before school started, and he expected that as soon as he would walk in the building, everyone will talk about how good of a song they performed. But to their dismay, the students of their school were talking about another band, a band far more better than them.

     "Oh my God, have you heard of the Badlands' new song? It's fire!"

     Alvin, Simon and Theodore exchanged looks with one another. They were all thinking the same thing; 'Badlands'? Alvin assumed it was another band that was currently rising, because heck, even he never heard of it. The red clad chipmunk thought nothing ahout the so-called 'Badlands' and continued walking through the hallways with his brothers.

     Who names their band 'Badlands' anyways?

     Alvin chuckled to himself. The name Badlands didn't sound like that much of a threat to the Chipmunks, and no way in hell would he let a band with a name as ridiculous as Badlands beat his dynamic trio. Sooner or later, maybe the whole school will stop talking about the rising band and start to realize what they're missing.

     After all, Badlands will probably be nothing more than just a one hit wonder.

     "Damn, they're good." Eleanor's jaw was left open as she, her sisters and the Chipmunks continued to watch the 'Royalty' music video, the song which the Badlands were made famous for. "It's pretty catchy too." She added, eyes glued onto the screen as she tapped her right foot to the beat. Eleanor had to admit, these girls can write good shit.

     "Eleanor!" Brittany scolded. "Can you not?"

     The blonde female raised her hands in defense, backing away from the computer the Chipmunks and her sisters were crowding. But it drew her suspicion; why would there be another group of three chipmunks if there are already two other groups? Eleanor turned her phone on and went on the Internet browser, deciding to learn more about these pastel-colored haired trio.

     "Holy shit, four million views in 23 fucking hours?" the purple clad Chipette whispered,

     An old woman pushing a book cart had just happened to be the librarian passing by, shushing them. They all said their apologies before drawing their attention back to the Badlands : Aphrodite, Demetria and Phoebe, who were coincidentally named after Greek goddesses and mythologic creatures from way back then.

     "I just hope no one forgets about us." Theodore wished, mumbling his breath.

     Simon was tired of hearing the same song over and over again. During class, during lunch, during the ride back home. He was getting fed up with all this shit. Yeah, he can agree that it was a well-written song, but hearing it on repeat a couple of times a day is a waste of sound waves.

     And the worse part was, no one except for him, his brothers and the Chipettes, was getting tired of it.

     The brunette Chipmunk drew in a deep breath of air before releasing it. He decided to stop thinking about this new musical group and focus on his algebra homework, because homework is obviously way more important than pop hits. He turned the radio on and was relieved when a Kpop song came on instead of Royalty. 'It's better than that shit song', Simon lets out a sigh.

     Unfortunately for the blue clad Chipmunk, the song came to an end and Royalty started to play.

     Out of frustration, Simon stood up from his seat which was now knocked down and then grabbed the radio. He holds it above his head and drops it, the machine soon breaking into several pieces of different sizes. He stands the plastic chair back up before sitting back down on it, continuing to solve the last math problem.

     "Why did I hear something break?" Simon's adoptive father yelled from downstairs, enraged.
