Chapter 2 Fun at Sea
Everyone walked though the huge hallways of the ship. They left port only about a day ago, and all the kids were getting the itch to explore the ship, so everyone decided to take a tour. Everyone held their kids close as they walked down the different lengths of hallway, amazed at the detail of decor.
All the kids were tugging their parents hard, wanting to go where anything caught their intrests, except for Simon and Jeanettes kids, who just followed next to their parents, watching everything intently as if it held knowledge.
"Why do you guys insist on running to everything you see?" said Jason, the oldest of Simon and Jeanette's kids. Jason was only the oldest by only a few minutes, since he and his siblings were quadruplets, he had small black glasses and had a blue hoodie like his father.
Aubrey, who was tugging at Alvin's arm, quickly stopped and looked back at her cousin. "You need to learn how to have fun Jason. You and the rest of you brainiacs". Jason just sighed as he looked back at his younger siblings. "The way we have is much different from yours" said Scott, the youngest who had red glasses and deep ocean blue hoodie.
"Yeah" said both Bailey, Sydni who had clothing and glasses similar to Jeanette's, "How we have fun is our concern".
"Just be open to other possiblities" said Tyler as he turned around, holding his four year old son TJ in his arms. "I used to think the same way when I was your age. Then I found a whole new world of what was fun, and realized what I was missing".
The quadruplets just remained silent. Until it was broken by one of Theodore and Eleanor's kids. "It never hurts to try something different" said Malory, who had a lime green shirt like her mothers. "She's right" said Eithan, who had a green hoodie like Theodore's. "It won't kill you" said Alycia, who had a lime green t shirt and white skirt.
The quadruplets just remained quiet, as Simon came up from behind and put his hand on Jason's shoulder.
"I think my kids aren't going to say anything else about the subect" he said with a smile. "Their progative" said Tyler as he and Sarah continued to walk down the hall. Everyone went for the deck of the ship, and stopped to look at the view.
The sun was setting on the horizon, making the water a bright orange in colour. Everyone just stood there, enjoying the sight of the setting sun with their spouses, but the kids had better ideas. They kept tugging at their parents, not insterested in a setting sun.
"Come on mommy and daddy" said Aubrey and Evan as they tugged on Alvin and Brittany. "Alright you two" said Alvin as he looked at Brittany, "just give us a moment". Alvin then looked up at Tyler and Sarah. "Hope you guys don't mind if we seperate" he said as his kids continued to tug on their arms.
"By all means" said Tyler as he put his son down next to his daughter. "We will meet back at the rooms in a while". Before anyone could say anything, they were all instantly pulled away by their kids, all heading in different directions.
"Mommy" said Aubrey as she looked up at Brittany, "can we go to the bridge and look around?". Brittany looked at Alvin, then down at her daughter, "I don't think so sweety" she said as she kneeled down infont of them. "The bridge is only for ship crew only".
Aubrey looked at Brittany sadly, then turned to Alvin. "Can we daddy?" she said pleadingly while giving a puppy face. Alvin felt guilty from the face she was making, and looked at Brittany, "I guess it can't hurt". Brittany shot Alvin a ice cold stare, "Alvin, I don't think we should".
"Come on" Alvin said smiling at Brittany, "We're famous rock stars, I think they will let us in". Before Brittany could reply, Aubrey and Evan cheered and ran off, sending Alvin and Brittany running after them.
After a few minutes of wondering around the ships, they finally found a sign on the door sating bridge. Before Alvin and Brittany could even react, Aubrey and Evan burst in and began to wonder the bridge, much to the surprise of the ship staff.
Alvin and Brittany quickly ran in and grabed their kids. "Sorry everyone" Alvin said as he held on tightly to his kids. "They wanted to see the bridge". A man wearing a white suit then walked up, and bent over so he was eye to eyes with the chipmunks.
"Your that chipmunks band aren't you?' he said looking at them closely. "Yeah" said Brittany as she grabed Aubrey's paw, "We're on vaction to get away from the fame and glamor". The man smiled as he stood up, "Well, since you are here, I might as well not disapoint your kids. My name is John Hammon, I'm the captain".
He then extended his finger, shaking Alvin and Brittany's paws. "Nice to meet you" said Alvin. The captain then turned and looked back down at Alvin and Brittany's kids, "Would you like a tour?' he said with a smile. Aubrey and Evan jumped for joy, "Yes please" said Evan.
They quickly looked back at their parents, where they saw Brittany gesturing for them to go. "We will wait right here" she said quietly.
The captain then extended his hand and gently picked up Aubrey and Evan as he went to the far side of the bridge to begin to show them around.
"I already know what your going to say" said Alvin as he turned to see Brittany giving him a cold stare. "What was the deal with you undermining my authority?" she said as she crossed her arms. "Come on Brittany" said Alvin giving her a big smile. "They wanted to see the bridge, there was no harm in at least trying".
"No" said Brittany, smiling back, "You gave in to her sad puppy face. You just couldn't stand the fact that your daughter might get sad". She then stepped forward and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Your pathetic" she said as she pulled away.
"Hey" said Alvin, "I may be a Prime, but I am still a father, and a person. I still feel guilty when she gives me that face".
Brittany giggle as she rolled her eyes, "You are such a goof, but I still love you" she said as she looked into Alvin's eyes. Brittany and Alvin moved in for a kiss, but were soon interupted as a alarm blared through the bridge.
