Chapter 1: Truth or Dare?
The residences of the Seville household were restless after a long winter in California and you could feel it in the atmosphere. Small fights and arguments broke out over the smallest things. Alvin had already broke half the stuff in the house, Simon had not had a successful invention in over two months, and Theodore had cooked so much food that he had to give most of it away.
It was late in the evening and Theodore was making a Spaghetti dinner for his family and the chipettes, who were coming over for dinner.
Alvin was helping him but only because there was nothing on the TV so there wasn't anything else to do. Simon was in his Basement lab trying to make a serum to rid animals of fleas. And he was almost ready to test it out on a live subject, and he has the perfect person for the job.
10 mins later
"ALVIN!"
Simon yelled from his Basement.
"What is it Simon, you just made me spill hot spaghetti sauce all over the place". Yelled Alvin, who was now cleaning hot spaghetti sauce off the floor.
"Sorry Alvin, would you please come down here" Simon asked trying to hide the annoyance in his voice.
"OK… wait… why" said Alvin as he walked down the stairs to the basement.
"I need you to help me with something "said Simon becoming more aggravated by the minute.
"Wait you the great Simon Seville needs me Alvin Seville's help. I always thought this day would come". Said Alvin as he walked in the basement.
"I just need you to be my lab rat nothing else". Said Simon closing the basement door
"A LAB RAT ARE YOU CRAZY" yelled Alvin who was standing in the middle of the stair case.
"No I'm just the opposite I'm the only sane one". Said Simon as he was locking the door.
"I'm not going to be your lab rat Simon". Said Alvin running to the top of the stairs and trying to get out of the basement.
"Yes you are Alvin and you really don't have a choice…and I need some success in my life" Simon said trying to shove Alvin in a large tube.
"Will you give it a break…we know what happened last time you used me as a guinea pig" Alvin said as Simon trapped him in the tube.
"So you lost most of your fur, it grew back in three weeks" Simon said rolling the tube down the stairs.
"Yea, I lost ALL my fur…let me out." Alvin said beating on the glass tube as Simon stood the tube up right.
"I'll let you out when I'm done and that's made of bullet-proof glass" Simon said pushing a button on his work station.
"But I want out of here" Alvin said panting from his efforts to get out.
"I'll pay you 20 bucks" Simon said watching Alvin as he tried to get out.
"25" Alvin said looking up at his brother.
"Deal" Simon said walking over to his testing center and pulling a vile out of a drawer.
"Wait what are we doing"? Alvin asked looking at the vile like it was poison.
"We're going to test my flea tonic on you" Simon said walking back over to Alvin.
"Are you calling me a flea?" Alvin asked. And he thought Simon was the smart one.
"…No…I'm going to give you fleas" Simon said, rolling his eyes at his brother.
"O.K. that's better…Wait, what"! Alvin yelled, looking at his brother like he was crazy.
"I'm… going… to… give… you… fleas." Simon said very slowly.
"For 25 bucks? No way 45 is the minimum." Alvin said.
"We already made the deal Alvin and by now you already have them so we're testing this on you one way or another." Simon said.
"How do I have fleas? I didn't have them when I got here." Alvin asked.
"I released them in the tube about three minutes ago." Simon said.
"How?" Alvin asked.
"I pushed a button and released them into the tube you are in". Simon said
"But…" Alvin started.
"Just take the stuff in the vile." Simon sighed.
"How do I know that you're not trying to poison me?" Alvin said.
"Why would I do that?" Simon said.
"Because I pulled that prank on you last week… you know the one where I locked you in a closet and had all of my friends come over and we had a party in your room?" Alvin said.
"Yea, I all ready have a plan to get back at you for that." Simon said.
"Oh… O.K" Alvin said
"And part one is now complete." Simon said
"WHAT"! Alvin said.
"Relax; the first part of the plan was to make you help me with my experiment." Simon said.
"Alright I'm going to trust that you're not going to do anything drastic." Alvin said
"I wouldn't. Now I'm going to get Theodore so we can play a game." Simon said biting back a smile.
"Cool, what game"? Alvin asked.
"We'll decide after Theodore is here." Simon said.
"Alright works for me." Alvin said.
"Be back in a second" Simon said.
10 minuets later
The three brothers were sitting in Simon's lab. (Alvin was still in the tube.)
They were waiting for Simon to come up with a dare for Alvin.
It toke them 7 minuets to come up with a game but in the end they agreed to play a game of truth or dare and Simon had won rock, paper, scissors. So he went first.
"Alvin I dare you to go to dinner tonight wearing a dress." Simon said smiling slightly.
"But the girls are… oh I get it." Alvin said hitting his head on the glass that surrounded him.
"Alright your turn." Simon said trying to hid the fact he was laughing.
"Theodore, truth or dare?" Alvin said.
"Truth."
"Alright if you had to date Brittany or Simon for a day, who would you choose?" Alvin asked Theodore, whose jaw was about ready to hit the ground.
"Um… Simon?" Theodore half asked his brother.
Alvin started laughing "So Simon it looks like you CAN get a date, just not who you want to."
"Alvin…" Simon said warning his brother with the tone of his voice.
"Alright I was just saying." Alvin said waving at Theodore to continue.
"Simon, truth or dare?" Theodore said.
"Dare."
"I dare you to run up and down the street yelling "I married a goat" as loud as you can." Theodore said as Alvin started laughing.
"Oh brother." Simon said as he walked out of the basement.
After 5 minuets of running and many weird look Simon sat back down in his chair.
"Alvin… truth or… dare." Simon panted.
"The truth never hurt anyone." Alvin replied as he kept a beat going on the side of the tube.
"Who do you have a crush on?" Simon asked.
"Brittany." Alvin said blushing as he said it.
"Alright your turn." Simon said trying to conceal the smile that had formed on his lips.
"Theodore, truth or dare." Alvin said.
"Dare."
"I dare you to drink a bottle of hot sauce at dinner then sing Rocketeer." Alvin said
"O.k." Theodore said trying not to think about the prospect of the dare he was just given. "Your turn Theodore."
"Simon, truth or dare." Theodore said.
"Truth."
Alvin whispered something to Theodore and started laughing.
"Um… Simon who do you have a crush on?" Theodore asked
"Jeanette." Simon mumbled.
"I can't hear you you've got to speak up." Alvin said he felt better about his brothers knowing he liked Brittany when he knew they could not tell her.
"I'm not saying it again." Simon said.
"Suit your self." Alvin said smiling at his brother.
"Anyway, it's my turn." Simon said trying to get back on track.
"Alvin truth or dare." Simon said.
"Dare."
"Alright, I dare you to ask Brittany out at dinner tonight" Simon said.
"… You…Brittany…what… Are you crazy!" Alvin managed to get out.
"Nope I just don't like being locked in a closet." Simon said "I told you I was going to get back at you for that remember?"
"But…"
"Your turn." Simon said.
"Theodore truth or dare." Alvin said thinking quickly.
"Dare."
"Come here." Alvin said motioning for his brother.
Alvin whispered the dare to him.
"O.k." Theodore said sitting back down.
"Theodore it's your turn."
"Simon truth or dare." Theodore said.
"Dare."
"I dare you to ask Jeanette out at the science fair this Friday." Theodore said "Alvin dared me to do it" he added quickly.
Simon looked over at his older brother.
"Really Alvin the science fair we've been looking forward to that." He said.
"Well it's not my fault you're a nerd." Alvin said shrugging as he scratched at the tube.
Before either of the brothers could say anything else there was a knock at the front door.
They quickly got Alvin out of the test tube and mentally prepared for an interesting evening.
