The Fluttershy Ending

With all the commotion died down, and her friends finally returning to their lives, Fluttershy began the weary journey back to her cottage. She hadn't ever expected to become so wrapped up in all this adventure, and although she was proud of herself for how she'd handled things, she wanted nothing more right now than to disappear inside her home for a few days and pretend to be sick.
The house was quiet as she entered, closing the door behind her. She sighed with relief, thankful that everything was finally over. Discord was even out visiting Twilight, she had mentioned something about wanting to run tests on him for a multiple personality disorder. At last, she had some time to hersel-
"CANNONBALL!"
The voice came out of nowhere, and a small furry blur came barreling down from one of her cabinets and landed in a perfectly positioned plate of jello which had been set underneath. Fluttershy yelped and peeked out from under the table she'd dived under to see what had infiltrated her personal space.
Of all things, a chipmunk was climbing out of the gelatin, cheered on by two companions still standing on the endtable from which the first had leaped.
"Ten out of ten!" The fatter one encouraged.
"Ten? Really?" The taller one standing next to the fat one sounded less enthused. "You're giving him a false sense of accomplishment." He looked downwards in disapproval. "Your dismount was completely off, and your landing was terrible. Four point five, at best."
The one in the gelatin glared upwards at the other two. "That was at least a seven!"
Fluttershy squeaked. Talking chipmunks were in her house. She didn't know whether to be frightened or awestruck. She was leaning towards a combination of both. 50/50, preferably, that way one of her emotions wouldn't feel left out or jealous of the other ones. 
"Um, excuse me," Fluttershy said. "Can I help you? Who are you?" She asked quietly, trying very had to be polite about the intrusion. This wouldn't have been the first time that she'd found an unexpected houseguest, it happened more than she cared to admit. But especially after being so busy all day with Stitch, she had really wanted some time to herself.
"Theodore!" The fat one said cheerfully.
"Simon," the taller one replied, before pointing downwards. "And Alvin is the one making a mess down there. I TOLD him it was impolite, but he won't listen."
"I'm not making a mess!" Alvin complained. "i'm redecorating." He pointed at Fluttershy accusingly. "You have horrible taste. Not even a record player."
Fluttershy's ears pinned. "I do? Oh, I'm so sorry, I-" She blinked. Well, at least a couple of chipmunks couldn't possibly cause as much trouble as Stitch had. She was sure of that. "Now wait just a minute, you can't just come in here and start ordering me around! Um... this is my house!" She began to stomp her hoof down, but wound up setting it down ever so slightly. "Stop that at once, Alvin, I-"
The rodent in question continued his hyperactive shenanigans, climbing up onto the couch and evidently preparing to leap from it into the jello again.
"Alvin, I'm warning you, I-"
The chipmunk jumped, landing in the jello again and making an even larger mess, only to infuriate Fluttershy to the point of yelling. She really didn't like to yell, but she had no other choice.
"ALVIN!"
