Summer is freedom. Happiness. Endless. And relaxing. Those are all the words to describe that scorching season of fun. At least that's what the Chipmunks and Chipettes think of it. No school, no homework. Just having some fun in the sun.
It was June 13th. All the Chipmunks and Chipettes were gathered in Alvin's room. They all had catalogs, fliers, including posters of information to do for their summer celebration.
"I think we should travel here," Brittany pointed to a spot on a flier, "I can go for a delightful massage right now." She stroked her arms slowly and sighed.
Alvin snorted. "I can give you a massage. I think we should go here." He pointed to the poster on his bed. It stated, "SKATEBOARD ADVENTURES! Grab your skateboards and accompany the celebration!"
"No one wants to go to a skateboard playground, Alvin. Have some common understanding." Brittany confessed.
Alvin glared at her. "It is not a playground! Neither do us boys want to go to a stupid resort and massage! You have some common understanding!" He roared back. He threw Brittany's flier across the bedroom.
"Huh! Let's vote!" Brittany huffed. "Raise your paws if you want to go to the spa!" She glanced around. Only she had her paw raised.
"Looks like I won! Loser!" Alvin boastfully shouted. "Raise your paws if you want to go to Skateboard Adventures!" Once more, he was the only individual who had raised his paw.
Jeanette glanced up from the catalog she was studying. "I say we should go here." She pointed to a spot on the fifth page. It was an image of a beach and a few beach huts. Some kids were having pleasure throwing beach balls. "It looks exciting to me."
The rest of the chipmunks thought about it. "I agree with Jeanette! Look! They have a 24/7 seafood buffet!" Theodore shouted. Alvin stared at his younger brother smoothly.
"Theodore, our whole life doesn't revolve around food." He snapped. "I say we still should continue to Skateboard Adventures."
"I say we should go to the beach hut place. They have a spa!" Brittany brightened. "Look Alvin they have a skateboard park just the road down!"
Alvin jumped up. "What?!" He looked on the map of nearby places. Brittany was correct. "Fine. I agree."
"Me too," Simon said, pushing up his round, black frames. Eleanor agreed too because they have cooking lessons and the beach hut comes with a full finished kitchen.
"Then we're settled!" Jeanette commented. "I'll book us a cabin." She clapped her hands together before dialing the number just underneath the address labeled on the bottom of the page.
Ring...!
"Is this Beach Paradise?...ok I would like to book a hut for six...yes...can we get one with a large kitchen?...ok, I appreciate that...we plan on staying for five weeks...ok...thanks!...yes, see you soon!...alright...bye!" Jeanette hung up the phone. Eleanor looked up at her with bright eyes.
"Thanks for saying the large kitchen part!" She hugged her sister tight.
"No problem! We leave tomorrow, at five o'clock in the morning so we oughta get packing!" Jeanette looked around at all her friends. They were all gone, assuming that they went to get their bags ready. Jeanette got up quietly, going to do the same.
BACK AT THE CHIPETTE'S HOUSE...
"What are you going to pack?" Eleanor asked Jeanette. Jeanette looked into her bag.
"Well, a few guides to bugs, my Sherlock Holmes hat, and well... A few pairs of clothes, and my footwear. That's all, I guess." She answered, zipping up her duffle bag. "What are you bringing?"
"The normal stuff. My clothes, shoes, cooking materials, and sports posters. We are staying there for about a month, correct?" Eleanor questioned.
"Yes, actually a month including one week," Jeanette responded, "what about you Brittany?"
Brittany looked over from her bed. "I already packed my bags yesterday." Eleanor seemed to be confused.
"We just figured out we were going a few hours ago." She pointed out.
"I know. I packed the things I would take on any trip. After all, we were going to go on one deciding today." Brittany went back to typing on her phone.
"Whatever," Jeanette snorted, "I'm going to put my things in Dave's vehicle." She took her bag and headed out the door. At the Seville residence, Dave's car was reversed up to the house with the rear hatch open. Jeanette placed her bag next to Brittany's.
"Hello, Jeanette!" Simon accompanied over with his bag and placed it on the far side of the trunk.
"Hello, Simon. Are you excited?" Jeanette asked. Simon nodded his head with agreement. "That's good to here. I can't wait to walk on the beach."
"Me too. Theodore is bringing an extra bag for the buffet." Simon chuckled, pointing at the two green bags placed in the back. One was cloth and the other one was a small sized cooler.
Jeanette giggled. "I guess you are right! I better get going, I need to catch up on some sleep. See you tomorrow!" She waved goodbye.
"See you tomorrow," Simon replied. They both walked back to their homes.
