Part 4. Having a Ball.
Outside..
Alvin and Brittany stepped out of what appeared to be a round house.
" Wow! So this is how Dave and Uncle Adam see the world!", said Alvin.
" Reminds me of a Mediterranean town or villa." Replied Simon.
"With a medieval castle?", said a puzzled Jeanette.
Alvin turned around, and looked at the house he came from.
It had no corners. Next to it was an archway. The group walked under it, to see that they could go no further.
The rest was a painting.
To their right was a path, which seamed to go to a wooded area.
The group scampered there for a closer look. A Roman style park greeted them.
"Another dead end!", said Brittany while she looked around.
Theodore looked up and saw four stone heads,which rested on pedestals.
Turning to Simon, he said, " Who are these guys?"
"Socrates, Plato, Homer, and Aesop. Philosophers, writers, poets, and storytellers from the ancient world.", answered Simon.
"Well there's nothing up here.. Let's see what the town has.", said Alvin.
As the group went back to the town,Theodore turns to Eleanor and says,"I felt like the heads were looking at me."
The group leaves and the heads rotate toward the town. Each revealing a digital camera in it's eye socket.
Back to the archway...
The group gathered at the patio in front of the roundhouse.
They came upon some stone steps that led them to the lower levels.
There they saw many a unique house.
"This is some crazy mixed up town!", said Brittany.
"Just look at that building with the green dome. Want to live there Theodore?",asked Eleanor.
"Only if you stay with me.", he answered.
Eleanor hugged him for that remark.
Walking into a piazza, the group saw a piece of Roman style architecture. Some sort of archway.
"Looks more like a stage to perform on.", said Alvin.
"What a beautiful fountain!",said Jeanette.
As the group walked by it, Alvin noticed a ball dancing on a stream of water. He jumped up and grabbed it.
"This will make a swell volleyball.", he said.
" I don't think you should have done that!", said Simon.
Alvin answered back,"Simon..You know that volleyballs don't belong on top of water fountains!"
"Look! There's a taxi!", shouted Brittany.
They all jumped in the white jeep, with the plate that said taxi. Simon took the wheel,and found the on switch.
For a toy It had a smooth ride. They followed the signs which led to a beach.
As Simon got off the jeep, he noticed an image on the hood.
An old-fashioned tall bicycle. Which the British called a Penny-farthing.
Going to the beach, the group passed a building called the old folks home.
They stopped at what looked like a boat. But it was a building made of stone-like material..
"I see a volley ball net set up on the beach. Let's play.", said Alvin.
"If it's alright with you bro. I would like to stay on this stone boat.", said Simon.
As the group played, Simon pondered about what he saw.
This was the first time they were ever here, yet he remembers this place from somewhere.
A gentle hand rubbed his back. It was Jeanette.
She smiled at him and said," We are alone. Let's make the best of this moment.."
Simon could not disagree. He lifted her chin, looked into her eyes, and pressed his lips to hers.
Pulling back to catch his breath, Simon noticed a large piece of paper jammed into the stone boat's window.
Unfolding it reveals a message. It reads: A launch awaits you past the light house.
Portmeirian, Wales is a nice place, but you may not wish to stay there.
It is also known as : THE VILLAGE!
Simon felt a chill ride down his back.
He turned to Jeanette and said," Go to the launch.. It's past the light house and get it ready."
Up the beach...
Alvin and Theodore were playing against Brittany and Eleanor.
So far the girls were beating them.
Not only that, Alvin was curious about Brittany's dream prince. Who was he?
Alvin not minding how hard he served the ball, sent it too high in the air.
It went soaring over the girl's heads and into the water.
He was going to get it; when he felt Simon pulling him back.
"We have to leave quick!",said Simon.
"What about the ball?",asked Alvin.
Simon looked at where it went.
The water was already starting to bubble violently. "That was no ball!", he said in a panicked voice..
A heartbeat latter the chipmunks are being chased by a large, balloon like mass, that gives out a horrifying roar!
Jeanette was already on the launch and saw them running to her.
Each of the chipmunks pushed the launch out on the water.
The giant balloon beast pursued them on the water's surface.
Jeanette Steered the launch. She guided it between a narrow strait of jagged rocks..
Toward an small opening. Leaving behind an angry, roaring, pursuer..
What was That?! That would be telling...
