Chapter 2

The Uncomfortable Dinner

Simon: I'm not hungry Dave!

Dave: Simon are you all right!? I'm coming up!

Simon: No you don't need to Dave.

Dave enters the Chipmunks bedroom.

Dave: Simon you have been acting odd since you got home. I'm going to check and see if you have a fever.

Simon: Dave I'm fine really.

Dave: Then what's wrong Simon you never act like this?

Simon: If you don't mind Dave I would rather not talk about it.

Dave: Well if that's how you feel. If you need to talk you know you can always come to me.

Simon: Thanks, Dave.

Dave: Come on down to Dinner Simon.

Simon: Well…. Ok

Dave and Simon both head downstairs to the table for Dinner. Alvin and Theodore are already at the table.

Theodore: Can we eat now?

Dave: Yes, Theodore you can eat.

Simon sits down next to Alvin and Alvin smiles at him but this just makes Simon even more uncomfortable.

Simon: What is going on in that head of his! He says thinking to himself.

Dave: So Theodore how was your day?

Theodore: Well I guess it was ok. My Home ec. teacher gave me a C on my dessert. She said it was not properly balanced. She said it was so sweet she could not even taste the other elements.

Dave: Well don't get discouraged Theodore I'm certain the next dish you make you will get an A+ on.

Theodore: Thanks, Dave!

Dave: How was your day Alvin?

Alvin: Well Dave I had a great day as always!

Dave: Well that's good Alvin and big plans for Spring Break?

Alvin: Just trying new and exciting things Dave.

Alvin Turns to Simon and winks.

Simon starts choking on his food.

Simon: Cough Cough Cough

Dave: Are you alright Simon!?

Simon: Yeah Dave just swallowed wrong.

Simon gets a drink and clears his throat.

Dave: So Simon how was your day?

Simon: Um… Interesting Dave.

Dave: Ok Simon. So do you have any plans for the week?

Simon: Research lots and lots of Research.

Dave: Not a very exciting way to spend your week off Simon. Dave chuckles. How are you going to spend your time off Theodore?

Theodore: I plan on making different kinds of deserts so that when we go back to school I can really impress my teacher. What about you Dave?

Dave: Well I still have to work but I will be out of town for a couple of Days. Theodore if you don't mind I would like you to make the meals while I am out of town. The menu is completely up to you!

Theodore: Sure Dave!

Alvin: Just make sure what you make us gives us plenty of energy.

Once again Alvin turns to Simon. This time Simon just shakes his head.

Before too long everyone has finished their dinner Theodore is downstairs planning the menu for the week and Dave is in the living room watching TV. Simon heads upstairs with Alvin following right behind him. Simon heads into the bedroom. Alvin walks in and shuts the door.

Simon: Alvin I don't feel comfortable being in here with you and the door being shut.

Alvin: You will be more uncomfortable if I left it open. He says with a smirk on his face.

Simon: What do you mean by that!?

Alvin: Did I not tell you I had a way to make you change your mind? He says with a big grin on his face.

Simon: Ok Alvin it's after dinner out with it! What are you going to do to make me change my mind!?
