Chapter 1: At Home

"ALVIIIIINNNN," Shouted Dave!

Alvin had done it again. Dave had discovered the T.V Alvin had smashed when he was playing Wii with Toby.

Alvin was the oldest chipmunk. He wore a red hoodie with a big A on it that stood for Alvin, but he liked to think it stood for awesome. He had a tendency to do wrong and ends up hurting Dave in the process. He had amber eyes which reflected the sun and spiky hair.

"Did you break the T.V Alvin?" Dave asked.

"Erm...no." At that moment, to Alvin's surprise, Simon walked into the room!

Simon was the 2nd oldest (or second youngest) and the smartest of the 3 chipmunks. He wore a dark blue hoodie and big round glasses. He is modest and very rarely shows his dark side. He is constantly bickering with Alvin.

"Hi Dave, I see you've discovered the television that Alvin broke," revealed Simon. Alvin gave Simon a deathly glare but Simon just smiled.

"What are you smiling about? You're in just as much trouble for not telling me! I expect better from you Simon."

Theodore then walked in the sitting room with a toaster waffle. "Guys, what's wrong?" Theodore asked, with food still in his mouth.

Theodore was the youngest, sweetest and the most innocent of the 3 chipmunks. He had a love of food which would explain his chubbiness. He wears a green hoodie, has green eyes and he also has spiky hair, even so, he is the glue that keeps his brothers together.

"Theodore who said you could have that?" Dave inquired. "I strictly said NO toaster waffles after midday!" Dave's face was turning red.

"Do you know what I think?" asked Dave.

"NO!" The boys said in unison.

"That was a rhetorical question boys!"

"What does remorfial mean?" asked Theodore.

"Rhetorical Theo. Not remorfial. A rhetorical question means that you're not supposed to answer the question that is being asked" Simon explained. "Right Alvin?"

"Yup, of course it does," Alvin was completely bamboozled by what Simon had just said.

"You guys need to be taught a lesson," Said Dave.

"NOOOO. ANYTHING BUT A LESSON DAVE!" Pleaded Alvin.

"I'm taking you down the road to stay for a month at Beatrice Miller's place."

"Aw man," the boys said in unison.

"A WHOLE MONTH, WITH BEATRICE, ANYONE BUT HER," complained Alvin angrily.

"It won't be that bad. I just think that you need to get out more," said Dave.

"We've had tours in Europe, Asia and Australia and you're telling us we need to get out more?" contested Alvin.

"That's exactly what I'm saying, also, there is a surprise waiting for you there." Dave informed the three chipmunks.

"Really! What is it?" asked Alvin excitedly.

"He won't tell you because it's a surprise Alvin," interrupted Simon.

"I like surprises so don't tell me," protested Theodore.

"Pack your things boys, start now, I'm taking you tomorrow," ordered Dave.

"O.K," the boys said in unison.

"This so-called surprise better be good!" Alvin muttered, under his breath. He would not be disappointed.
