Based on characters from: Alvin and the Chipmunks. Created and owned by: Bagdasarian Productions Inc.


At this very moment..

Dave and Christine stood before the alter. The wedding ceremony is now being performed.

He places a ring on her finger and says,"With this ring.. I thee wed."

She then places a ring on his finger and says," With this ring.. I thee wed."

The minister then says," By the power invested in me. I pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride."

They look into each other 's eyes and then they kiss.

A wave of total warmth envelopes them. Time stands still for them.

Suddenly they find themselves being pulled apart.

"Come on Dave! Don't over do it!" said Alvin, as he and his brothers pulled at Dave's waist.

Christine heard Jeanette say," That was beautiful big sis, but let's save this for the actual event.

Remember, this is just the practice rehearsal."

Christine blushed and said,"For a moment... It wasn't a rehearsal.

I felt like we finally were married."

"That's so beautiful... I hope those same feelings happen with me and Alvin..", said Brittany while looking dreamy.

Eleanor couldn't help, but to sigh. As she too, thought about her moment.

"We have practiced all morning. It couldn't be any better. ",said Uncle Willy.

He then looked at his watch. It read 11:45.

Everybody heard Theodore's belly roar with hunger.

They all agreed to end the rehearsal and have a meal.

15 minutes latter...

They stopped off at a place called : The Nordic Fox Lanes.

It was a bowling alley with Swiss style restaurant.

There.. A smorgasbord of food was being served on weekends.

Everyone was enjoying the selections of food.

Especially Theodore.

He was enjoying spaghetti with Swedish meatballs.

Ever since the encounter with Mr. Talbot.

Theodore gave up being a vegetarian.

Other than that, he was still the lovable Teddy, that Eleanor loved.

Simon boldly tried the lutefisk, which has a required taste.

Alvin played it safe by having the salmon.

Brittany and her sisters opted for the soup and salad.

After the meal the group decided to have a friendly bowling competition.

Ladies against men.

Two teams of five.

Ladies' team included: Christine, Brittany, Jeanette, Eleanor, and Charlene.

Men' s team included: Dave, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, and Uncle Willy.

Uncle Harry kept score, while Grandma Henny,Vinny and Miss Miller cheered along with the kids.

Dave was up. He strode up the lane and launched the bowling ball. It looked perfectly centered, until in landed in the gutter.

Christine strode up and at her first try scored a strike! All 10 pins.

Alvin, ever confident launched his ball. The result.. 8 out of 10 pins.

Winking at Brittany he said,"Top that! Love Puddle!"

Brittany smiled and said,"Sure thing Alvie!"

She then furiously launched the ball.

A Strike times three!

This happened when one of the pins flew out of her lane,and like a missile, flew across the two lanes left of her.

This chain reaction knocked down two sets of 10 pins.

Alvin looked dumbfounded as Brittany walked back.

Simon tried his hand at it. The result a split.

Jeanette, a little unsure of herself, was up next.

She wasn't quite used to the bowling shoes she wore. She barely could stand in them.

"Little sis. You can do it!", Christine said to encourage her.

Jeanette swung back with the ball. It's weight threw her off balance.

She struggled to regain balance.

As she spun like a top, the blue and purple whirling dervish released the ball.

It spun gyroscopic-ally across the sides.

At times it almost landing in the gutter.

It then took out 7 pins.

Theodore's attempt took out 5 pins.

Eleanor took out 9.

Uncle Adventure stood motionless in front of the lane.

Taking a breath he launched.

With a thunderous crack! A perfect strike.

Charlene finally came to play after changing clothes in the van.

Wearing lace up capris, and a checkered sleeveless blouse, she was ready.

Unfortunately the male populous in the bowling alley wasn't ready to see her spectacular form.

When she walked up the lanes, several men had accidents like: forgetting to let the ball go,

dropping ball on their feet, and walking into things.

Unconcerned Charlene took her ball, strode up, and launched.

Straight and true it rolled.

Striking dead center.

8 pins went down.

One pin stood, while one wobbled.

Charlene blew a kiss.

Then the wobbly pin hit the other as it fell.

A strike!

The Chipettes cheered,"Charlene we love your style!"

Meanwhile several guys were receiving first aid for their injuries.

One guy was overheard saying,"That gal is dangerous to look at!"

When it was all over, the ladies had the bragging rights.

None of the guys seemed to mind.

Alvin and his brothers followed the ladies to the parking lot.

Dave and the rest trailed behind.

On the way back to the van, Dave said," Vinny. Can you tell me something about Charlene?"

Vinny smiled and said,"What is it, that you want to know?"

Dave asked,"Why is your niece hairless. Like Brittany and her sisters?".

Vinny explained, "Charlene is of mixed blood.

My sister Dotty paired up with a tall, bold, Siberian chipmunk.

Her beauty and charms came from my sister.

The rest came from her father Boris."
