It was just a normal day at the Seville house, Alvin, Brittany, Simon, and Jeanette were sitting on the couch, while Eleanore and Theodore were sitting of the floor reading a cookbook. Alvin was watching Mythbusters, Brittany was doing her nails, and Jeanette and Simon were working on their Science homework. Dave was in the kitchen making dinner for everyone.
"Alright everyone, time for dinner." Dave called from the kitchen.
"Yay!" Cried Eleanore and Theodore, as they scurried to the kitchen.
The rest of them walked in laughing quietly at their younger siblings. Once they were all in their dinner spots, Alvin and Brittany on one side, Simon, Jeanette and Theodore on the other, with Dave and Eleanore at the head and foot of the table, Dave said, "alright guys I've been thinking-"
"Oh no!" Cried Alvin.
"Alvin!" Dave said, warning him to be quiet, "I've been thinking that we all need to take a vacation. One where we can't possibly get shipwrecked. I was thinking that we go on a roadtrip to Florida. It'll take a while, but it'll be fun for us to all do together. What do you guys think?"
"Well," Simon said, "it sounds ok to me, I mean there's no boat, or plane that we're going to be on, where Alvin and get us crashed or shipwrecked, and we'd get to spend time at the beach, without having to wonder if Dave was coming to find us or not. So, it sounds good to me!"
"Ok, what about the rest of you?"
"Well, Dave, since Simon just gave everyone a nice overview of all of my mistakes, I'll say that it sounds good to me. Of course, where's
the fun in just having a normal vacation, so I'm sure I can think of something fun." Alvin said with a wink.
"I'm sure you can Alvin." Dave replied. "Brittany? Jeanette?"
"Well, as long as there's no way that Alvin can possibly get us stuck on a deserted island, far from civiltation, then count me in."
"Thanks Brittany, how about you Jeanette? I know that Ellie and Theo want to go, I can see them bouncing up and down over there."
"Oh," Jeanette said, "it sounds quite fun!"
"Alright, its settled then! We'll leave tomorrow after school."
"Ugh," Alvin groaned. "Why can't we just skip school tomorrow?"
"Beacause Alvin," Dave said, "you're already going to be missing over two weeks. I think you should go the last day."
"Ok Dave." Alvin reluctantly said.
Later that night, when all of the chipmunks were packing up their things for the trip, they were talking excitedly about the vacation.
"I can't wait to take samples of the ocean water, and sand to see what minerals are in it!"
"I know Simon!" Jeanette said excitedly. "I've always wanted to know. Are you bringing you microscope and stuff?"

"Eleanor!"
"Yeah Theo?"
"I'm just glad that you're not hurt this time, so you can play properly with us!"
"Me too!" She exclaimed, and hugged him.

"Uh, Britt?"
"What Alvin."
"How on earth are you going to fit everything in that suitcase?" Alvin asked with a puzzled expression on his face.
"I'm going to shove it in."
"Well, why do you need so much stuff? I'm already done packing, and I don't have half as much stuff as you do."
"Because I need all this stuff." She replied as though it was the obvious thing in the world.
"Um, ok then..."
A few minutes later, Dave walked into the room.
"Alright guys, time for bed, we don't want you tired tomorrow."
"Ugh!" They all groaned.
"But Dave, I'm not done packing!" Brittany wined.
"Oh, well hurry up Brittany, and when you're done, go to bed ok?"
"Ok Dave."
"Goodnight everyone!"
"Goodnight Dave!"
They all then went to bed, even Alvin who usually tried to stay up as long as possible. By the time Brittany was done packing, everyone else was asleep.
"Ah, there we go." She said to herself before getting into her bed.
