Christmas in New York

Chapter 1

"Simon look how beautiful this view is." Jeanette exclaimed as she looked out the large picture window of their living area of their three bedroom suite that they sharing in New York City.

Outside the snow was falling beautifully onto the streets and reflecting off the trees light up with white Christmas lights . Simon joined her at the window, "Wow Jeanette, you are right, it's amazing."

Brittany came up behind them and scoffed "Who cares how beautiful it is. It's way too cold! Why couldn't we have went someplace warm like Maui for Christmas?" she complained clearly annoyed as she wrapped a blanket around her shoulders over the already two layers she was already wearing.

"But Brittany, don't you remember why we are here? We agreed to sing at their charity Christmas Eve concert to raise money for the needy children in the city." Ellie reminded her.

Her sister sombered a little when she remembered the needy children."Yeah I know, but why does it have to be so cold." Brittany whined and pouted a little.

"Well according to the barometric pressure effecting the winds coming down from Canada it brings about a cold front that..." Simon began explaining to her. "I don't need a science lesson! I need a warmer place!" Brittany interrupted him and stomped into the Chipettes room slamming the door behind her.

"Sorry Simon." Jeanette apologized for her sisters behavior. Just then Alvin came into the living area with a smirk on his face. "I don't know why Brittany is so upset, she should be thrilled for getting a chance to sing with the hottest band in Rock and Roll" he said proudly.

"Oh Alvin, don't start." Simon said rolling his eyes. " And why not, my brainy brother? We are famous and the Chipettes should feel lucky to bask in our glory" Alvin said slinging his arm around his brother's shoulder but Simon shrugged it off annoyed. "This a huge opportunity for them to spread their popularity with our millions of adoring fans."

Eleanor and Jeanette glared at Alvin. "We aren't doing this for the glory!" Eleanor retorted angrily. "Yeah it's for the needy children."Jeanette added with her hands on her hips.

"Alvin they are right. Stop thinking about yourself for one moment and look around at the world around you." Simon joined in agreeing with the girls.

"Yeah there are kids who go hungry. It's really bad, they don't even have food."Theodore added looking horrified at what he just said.

Dave had been listening from his room when he got a brilliant idea. He grabbed the phone book from the nightstand and found the number he was looking for which he then up his plan.

A few minutes later he poked his head out of his room, "Guys, time to get to bed. You have a very busy day tomorrow." Some more then others he thought to himself.

"Night, Dave." they all called out to him as they headed to their rooms.
