It was a nice Friday afternoon at the Thomas Edison Elementary School, where Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor were attending school. They were sitting in class, waiting to hear what they would be doing. There drama teacher Mr. Rochelle, then cleared his voice and spoke.
"Students, I have an announcement. For this year's Halloween School play, we will be doing the play "A Ghost in my House". Now everyone please pick from this hat for your part and I will list the play parts on Monday. Now let's get started..." Mr. Rochelle said before he grabbed a hat off his desk and passes the hat to the students.
Everyone passed the hat around the classroom as they each picked a piece of paper from the hat with their parts on it. Once everyone was done, the bell rang, and class was dismissed. Everyone ran out of the classroom, but the Chipmunks and Chipettes walked out of the classroom, excited to share what part they all got.
"I got the mom part," Brittany said in a straightforward voice.
"I got the ... dad part?!" Alvin said in disbelief, now staring at Brittany.
"I got the daughter part" Eleanor said cheerfully.
"I got the son part" Theodore said with a smile.
"I got the laundry lady part" Jeanette said with slight interest.
"I got the... Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! There must be some mistake!" Simon said, now looking concerned.
"What's wrong Simon? What part did you get?" Jeanette asked. Simon held up the paper and showed everyone. It said "ghost" on the paper.
"I got the ghost part..." Simon said with slight concern.
"What? But that's the lead role! Can't we switch or something?!" Alvin cried out in surprise.
"Let me go check..." Simon said before going back into the classroom.
"Mr. Rochelle, may I ask you something?" Simon said, approaching the teacher.
"Of course Simon. What is it?" Mr. Rochelle replied.
"Well, you see sir, I saw that I got the ghost part in the play, and I was wondering if Alvin and I could switch parts? Or maybe Theodore and I could switch parts?" Simon asked politely.
"I can understand why you're asking, but unfortunately Simon, I can't do that would show favoritism, and then everyone would want to switch parts. I'm sorry Simon, but as much as I would like to have you switch to a different part in the play, my answer is no," Mr. Rochelle answered.
"Okay. But then what am I suppose to do for the ghost costume and stuff? I normally don't get a lead role," Simon commented.
"You can do any spooky costume or ideas you want. As long as it is school appropriate, and you look like a ghost, I will accept it," Mr. Rochelle replied. Simon nodded and left.
"We can't change parts for the play. He said would like to, but he can't," Simon answered after Alvin asked what happened. They were all now walking to their homes.
"Don't worry Simon, I'm sure you'll figure something out!" Theodore said hugging his brother.
"Thank you Theodore. I hope so too," Simon replied back just as the boys said goodbye to the Chipettes. Now Simon had to figure out what he would do for his ghost part. Maybe Dave would be able to help! Simon decided to ask him.
Thank you, and don't forget to read and review.
