AATC: Show Me The Light
Author's Note: I began writing this based on the song, "Show me the Light." If you haven't heard it, look for it on YouTube, or watch the "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" movie.
Simon and Jeanette sat on the couch, tired. They had been stuck at home, listening to Alvin and Brittany argue...again.
"Do you think they'll ever stop that?" Simon asked.
"Nope. They argue everyday. It's not likely that they'll stop." Jeanette responded.
They sat there, tired of Alvin's and Brittany's constant quarrels.
"Will you guys ever stop?" Jeanette yelled.
"Jean, I don't think they can hear you." Simon chuckled.
"Actually, we've heard your entire conversation." Alvin splurted.
Simon and Jeanette looked in Alvin and Brittany's direction. They kept staring at Alvin and Brittany, and Alvin and Brittany would stare back.
"Dinners ready!"
Everyone licked their lips and ran to the kitchen.
"What's for dinner Theo?"
"Yeah Ellie! Don't keep us waiting."
Eleanor and Theodore put plates with grilled chicken and some salad on them in front of everyone.
"Wow, guys! This looks good!" Brittany yelled.
"Thanks. Dig in everyone!" Theodore yelled.
Dave walked in right at that moment. He sat down with everyone else at the table, and started a conversation.
"So guys, how was school?"
They started conversing about the day, and it seemed that no one had a good day.
"What's so bad that you guys aren't happy?" Dave asked, confused.
Flashback to that day...
"Hey Al! Got a game today! Remember that!" Jason yelled.
"Got it! I wont be late!"
The chipmunks kept walking to class, followed by the chipettes. They walked into class. Biology.
"Alright everyone. Today we'll be talking about ecology." Everyone but Simon and Jeanette sighed in disappointment.
…
"And that's where we come into play in the ecosystem."
* Bri-i-i-ing! *
"Alright, you can go. We have a test on ecology tomorrow!" the teacher yelled, as everyone began leaving.
"Alvin. Please stay." the teacher said sternly.
"Yes?" Alvin responded.
Outside the classroom...
"What do you think Alvin's needed for now, Simon?" Theodore asked.
"I don't know, but by the way the conversation sounds, it isn't good." Simon told Theodore.
"Hey! Seville!"
Someone took their shoe and pinned Simon to the wall.
"Where's my Algebra homework!?"
"I-I don't have it!" Simon yelled. He was choking between each breath.
"That isn't a good answer! Where. Is. IT!?"
"Hey! Leave him alone!"
Everyone gasped and turned towards a student.
"He didn't do nothin' to you! YOU should have done your homework, you lazy pantsie!"
The crowd laughed. The boy attacking Simon became angry. He grabbed Simon by the tail, getting a screech from Simon.
Then, the student walked up, and punched the boy in the face!
He dropped Simon to cover his face, in pain.
End Flashback...
"So you guys were just doing what you normally do, and Simon was bullied, only to be saved by some other student?"
"Yep. And Alvin didn't know until he walked out to see the fight." Theodore said.
