It's Thursday afternoon and I'm bored. There's nothing to do today everybody's busy doing something. Brittany is shopping with some of her friends, Theodore is out looking for Talking Teddy merchandise, Eleanor is baking a cake for a cooking competition, Jeanette is doing homework and Simon is here somewhere. There's nothing better to do so I guess I'll go find Simon. "Simon?" Alvin calls out. "Simon where are you?" Alvin walks down to the basement also known as Simon's science lab to look for Simon. "Simon are you in here?"

"Yes Alvin" Oh great, There goes my peace and quiet. All I wanted was to plan a date for Jeanette and I with no distractions, but I guess that that's not going to happen.

"What are you doing?"

"It's none of your business!" Like I'd tell Alvin what I'm doing he'd just try to change things or somehow ruin it.

"Are you planning some sort of nerdy science experiment?"

"No Alvin I'm not and even if I was it would still be none of your business" Why is he so interested in what I'm doing?

"Simon just tell me what you're doing, I'll get it out of you one way or another" I only want to know what Simon is doing because I'm bored and have nothing else to do, maybe I can help him.

Of course he will. I may as well tell him now so he'll leave me alone. "Fine, if you must know I'm trying to think of somewhere I can take Jeanette on our first date. I want to surprise her"

"I'll help you come up with an idea"

"I don't need your help" Does he think I'm not smart enough to handle something like this on my own?

"I'm going to help you no matter what you say"

"Well I was thinking that I could take her to the History Museum"

"Snooze fest"

"Or maybe the Science Museum"

"Come on Simon, try harder, first dates are meant to be fun"

"The Science Museum is fun"

"Yeah maybe for a school excursion but this is a date"

"Jeanette will like it"

"Do you really want to take her to a place where there are a lot of geeks and nerds?"

"They don't matter it's about Jeanette and I"

"That's why I'm trying to help you"

"Well tell me some of your ideas then"

"I was thinking something fun like laser tag or ice skating or maybe even a scary movie or even a-"

"Alright that's enough Alvin, Jeanette hates scary movies"

"Well even if she does hate scary movies going to a scary movie would be way more fun than some Science Museum"

"You're not helping Alvin, I want something that both Jeanette and I would both love"

"Have it your way"

Alvin walks up to his bedroom to call Jeanette. If Simon is too afraid to do it himself I guess I'll just have to take matters into my own hands. I'll figure out where Jeanette wants to go and plan this date myself. At least I'm trying to do something helpful I hope Simon understands that.

"Hey Jeanette" Time to figure out what Jeanette wants to do on this date. Simon's going to be so happy

"Hi Alvin, why did you call me?"

"Because I have a really important question to ask you"

"This isn't a prank is it?"

"No, no of course not"

"Okay what did you want to ask me?"

"What would your idea of a perfect date be?"

"Alvin are you asking me out?"

"No I just want to know"

"Why?"

"Because Simon wants to go on a date with you and I want to help him plan it"

"Well I think the perfect date would be going to the Science Museum"

"Really? If you could do anything and when I say anything I mean ANYTHING for a date you would choose a Science Museum"

"Yes, I've always wanted to go there"

"You can go there anytime you want"

"I know but I would love to go on a date there"

"But dates are meant to be fun Jeanette!"

"The Science Museum IS my idea of fun"

Simon walks up to the bedroom to get his Science book but he hears Alvin talking on the phone so he stands outside and eavesdrops.

"Come on Jeanette you're killing me here!" Alvin says over dramatically.

Jeanette? Is he talking to Jeanette!? MY Jeanette?

"Wow I didn't think you were this boring not to be rude or anything though but WOW"

Gosh Alvin can be a pain in the butt sometimes I have to do something about this. "Give me that phone Alvin"

"No I'm trying to help you"

"I don't care what you're doing give me the phone" Alvin is really starting to annoy me now.

"Just trust me Simon"

Does he think I'm an idiot!? "No I know that you're talking to Jeanette"

"Yeah I'm helping you plan a date" Simon is going to love this.

"No you're not. This is mine and Jeanette's date and I don't want you ruining it"

"Well I found out that she is perfectly fine with going to the Science Museum with you"

"It was meant to be a surprise" Of course. I knew that he was going to spoil the surprise.

Simon takes the phone off Alvin and says "Sorry about my brother, he can be a pain in the you know what sometimes"

"That's okay. I'll see you tomorrow at 5 PM for our date" I can't wait. I hope this date turns out to be perfect.

"Okay I'll see you tomorrow bye Jeanette" Simon hangs up.

I'm not ready for the date yet I'm so unprepared. I was going to say next Friday but Alvin decided to make it tomorrow. He's always ruining things for me. I just hope he doesn't find a way to ruin my date because I want it to be perfect. There's only one thing left to say now.

"ALVINNN!"
