We don't own Alvin and the chipmunks characters. We do however own our characters. Enjoy chapter 1!
We found Grandma Jewel in her rocking chair. She looked at all the trees surrounding the house.
She said, "Welcome Readers! Isn't Fall beautiful?...Well this story is a little different. Storyteller Shell and Blossom2012 worked on this story together...I am not even sure what this is about so...it time to go..."
It was bright and early in the morning, and Dave drove Alvin, Simon, and Theodore to school. Once they arrived, Simon, the second oldest wore a blue shirt got out first. Theodore wore his usual green turtleneck got out next. Alvin wore his signature red sweater with the necessary yellow A got out last.
Once Alvin got out of the car, he started to feel a small dizzy spell, but he shook it off as an allergy and kept walking toward the school. However, when he started to feel queasy, he stumbled over to Dave.
"Dave I don"t feel so good," he moaned, softly clutching his stomach.
"Ok, well, let go inside and see the school nurse," Dave suggested. All four of them hurried inside. Once they got to the nurse's office, they noticed the light was off and the office was empty. Then, Simon pointed out a sign that clearly said, "The nurse will not arrive until 10:00. We are sorry for any inconveniences." Dave shook his head and sighed. He had no other choice but to make Alvin go to class, much to Alvin dismay.
"Alvin, don't forget, if you start to feel dizzy or sick again, just tell you teacher and she will send you to the nurse office. If you start to throw up, call me, and I will come and get you. Ok, bud?"
Alvin nodded."Okay. Bye Dave!" He slowly waved at Dave.
Throughout the day, Alvin dozed off and on in class. The teacher noticed this and thought Alvin didn't get enough sleep. Alvin managed to get through the math and language art assignments before he suddenly collapsed.
The teacher rushed over to him. Simon came over with a worried look. The teacher looked at Simon and told him to take Alvin to the nurse's office. Simon nodded and helped Alvin to his feet. Than they both left the classroom.
Betty, the school nurse sat at her desk when they arrive. She immediately got up and went over to the boys. She saw Alvin's condition.
She said, "Alvin, lay down on the bed."
Alvin did as he was told. The nurse checked his temperature, and for any unusual signs. Suddenly Alvin threw up in the trash can.
After she cleaned up Alvin's mess, she said, "I am calling your father."
The nurse dialed the well used number of the Seville household and as the boy's father answered with a weary 'Now what has he done?', she began to explain Alvin's condition. The conversation ended with David Seville hastily promising to be there quickly, the sound of car keys rattling over the line before she hung up.
She glanced over at Alvin, laying down on the bed, with his blue clad brother muttering to him softly. Alvin didn't look well at all, there was a ruddy redness in his cheeks and his eyes looked feverishly bright. He seemed to shift now and then, as if in discomfort.
With a heavy heart, she checked Alvin's records until she found the contact information for his listed physician. She solemnly confided her concerns to the Seville's doctor, who promised to contact Mr. Seville that afternoon to see the boy himself. Though she had her suspicions, she was not medically trained enough to diagnose Alvin's condition herself.
She sighed deeply and walked over the brother's, checking Alvin's damp forehead again.
Simon must have seen the dismayed expression on her face, for he quickly leaned over his brother and said softly, "Don't worry Alvin, Dave will be here soon."
Given how the worried father had sounded on the phone, she didn't doubt that for a second.
And when he arrive a short time later, breathless and panicked, it was with a heavy heart that she referred him to their doctor.
"Is it that serious?" He asked with wide eyes, gathering his sleepy son to his chest as Simon pulled Alvin's bag over his shoulder.
Betty swallowed heavily and hoped she could continue her day despite the worry about Alvin Seville's condition plaguing her.
Betty said, "Take him to your doctor Mr Seville and from there, just take it one step at a time."
Solemn foreboding dawned on Mr Seville's face and he left her office with a nod. She sat down at her desk heavily, images of her own child, breathless, feverish and shifting in pain flooding her mind unbidden. Memories of hospitals and drugs and chemotherapy; of everything she had tried to forget. She thought of the glazed look in Alvin's eyes and sat for a moment and prayed.
Grandma Jewel concluded, "What an interesting start for chapter 1...Will Alvin be alright?..Most of all what is going on with Betty? Questions are here but the answers are on the way...This is Grandma Masayo signing off."
We disappeared as Grandma Jewel walked along her driveway.
