Ch. 4 -

The family of 9 drove down to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Jeanette gasped at the sight.

"Jeanette's stop!" Miles announced.

"Oh my!" Jeanette said. She jumped out of the car and immediately jumped for joy. She put on a purple sweater since it was winter time. Brittany wore a pink leather jacket, Eleanor wore a Leather-Resistant Soft Shell Jacket, and Paige wore a Benton Springs Fleece Jacket. Everyone walked into the Museum. They all agreed to split up and meet back in two hours. Jeanette and Simon found some pics on the American Revolutionary War. Jeanette pointed to a picture of George Washington.

"Hey Simon? Didn't the Revolutionary War last 8 years?" she asked. Simon nodded, then put a finger up.

"Yeah. April 19, 1775 through September 3, 1783 So, 8 years, 4 months and 15 days. " he specifically clarified. Jeanette giggled.

"How did you know all that? We learned about The Revolutionary War just 2 weeks ago." she said, (A/N: remember in my first book when Paige and Sheldon appeared? The Chipettes had to go back and judge American Idol for 2 weeks. If you don't remember or know any of this, read my first book!) Simon chuckled.
"While you were gone, I did some extra research." he informed. Jeanette put a hand across her heart and gazed at Simon.

"Well, it's nice to know what smart friend I have." she said. Simon chuckled nervously, sweating in the process.

"Just 'friends'?" he asked curiously. Jeanette turned to him.

"Simon, after me singing to you on the plane, I think our relationship could go up a notch. If you're ready." she said. Simon blushed.

Meanwhile, with Theodore and Eleanor..

"Who are all these people, Eleanor?" Theodore asked as the two hurried down into another hallway. Eleanor looked up. There were two big banners at the top of both sides of the hallway. On them read, FAMOUS COOKS. Eleanor giggled.

"They're all famous cooks." she informed. Theodore's eyes glowed. He giggled and hurried, looking at each portrait of each cook. But one caught his eye. He stopped in the middle of the hallway, looking to his right. One large portrait of a stern looking man. He looked serious. He looked at if he had a jacket on, considering the portrait only showed his head and shoulders. The dots on his suit looked like buttons. His lips made the man looked as if he was smirking, yet frowning at the same time. Eleanor giggled when she caught Theodore looking at the strange looking man. She giggled again at the portrait. She then saw a mini-podium with a bio on it.

"His name is Nicholas Appert." Eleanor read(A/N: This is a real person BTW) Theodore looked to Eleanor, who still had her eyes on the bio.

"According to this, he was a 'French inventor of airtight food preservation,'" Eleanor informed. Theodore nodded.

"What else did he do?" he asked, curious. Eleanor looked once again at the paper, happy to know Theodore was interested.

"Appert was a confectioner and chef in Paris from 1784 to 1795. In 1795, he began experimenting with ways to preserve foodstuffs, succeeding with soups, vegetables, juices, dairy products, jellies, jams, and syrups. He placed the food in glass jars, sealed them with cork and sealing wax and placed them in boiling water." she read out(A/N: real life hobby). Theodore was fascinated. She looked at the picture and laughed once again at the silly face. But he knew, this, "Nicholas Appert" wouldn't stay his favorite chef forever.

"Come on Eleanor! Let's go find some more chefs!" he said. He took Eleanor by the hand and led her to a new chef portrait.

Meanwhile...
Alvin and Brittany were looking around, bored, trying to find something entertaining. They stepped into a hallway called, THE MEDIEVAL ERA. Brittany looked sourly at each of the portraits and the artifacts. Alvin was ignoring everything, trying to pass the 2 hours of Simon and Jeanette time. Brittany looked to Alvin, who was just standing there, bored.

"Alvin! Come on!We have to get going. The 2 hours will be done soon." she growled taking Alvin by the arm and dragging him(literally) to the next part of the hallway. Suddenly Brittany gasped and dropped Alvin. She gazed at a red Lady Jane Dress. She approached it, petting it all over the dress. It was soft, felt like cashmere. The collar of the dress felt like Silk. She was completely in love with the dress.

"Alvin, check this out!" she said holding the dress so Alvin could see it. Alvin looked at the dress, and showed a face that said, I am impressed. Then, seeing the facial expression of Brittany, laughed.

"Oh Britt! We all know you can't work that dress! It's so 500 years ago." he said. Brittany scowled. She really regret kissing Alvin goodbye on that plane. Now, it seems like Paige and Sheldon never came. And she still had to deal with the same old Alvin.

"Alvin, I'm about to put this dress on, and work it like you've never seen it before!" she announced. Alvin's eyes widened.

"Britt, are you sure you should be doing that? We're in a public building!" he asked, chuckling nervously. Brittany scoffed and slipped herself into the dress. Of course the dress was too big for her, I mean, she was a chipmunk. She couldn't manage to her her tiny hands into the sleeves. Alvin laughed.

"See, you can't work it! Ha!" he said, laughing some more. He approached Brittany, with a smug face on.

"Oh no! She's too short!" He laughed rolling on the floor laughing. When he got up, he pinched her chin and laughed.

"A costly error, ladies and gentlemen, that's going to haunt her, the rest of her career!" he said(A/N: That line was from Chipwrecked and Chipwrecked with J shout-out to chipmunkgirl7777) Brittany, now completely losing my temper, swatted away Alvin's hand and made her way out of the dress.

"NOW you're gonna get it!" she said chasing him around the hallway. As a result, the whole hallway was trashed, and the two chipmunks were sent outside and everybody else was called. No one was happy. Not even Jeanette and Simon. Alvin and Brittany felt bad, they had to leave the museum early. (A/N: If you think that's Jeanette's part of the day and you didn't see Paige and Sheldon's part, you're wrong. Cue the music)

(Meanwhile, before the accident)

Paige and Sheldon were outside, looking at the pretty flowers and butterflies. Paige always giggled when a certain butterfly came around that she knew of. Suddenly a butterfly with yellow and black wings landed in Sheldon's hands. Paige gasped.

"Oh my. That's a Eastern Tiger-Swallowtail butterfly. They're really cool. It's a species of swallowtail butterfly native to eastern North America. It is one of the most familiar butterflies in the eastern United States, where it is common in many different habitats." she informed. Sheldon laughed an set it free. He then noticed a orange and black striped butterfly fly down onto his nose. Paige laughed.

"Isn't that a-"

"Monarch butterfly. A milkweed butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Other common names depending on region include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black veined brown." he informed. Paige laughed.

"Are you only that intelligent with butterflies?" Paige asked. Sheldon chuckled to himself before setting the butterfly on his finger.

"No. I'm intelligent with any animal except snakes." he said. "Not that I would want to. They scare me." he said. Paige rolled her eyes.

"We all are. They eat chipmunks." she said taking the monarch butterfly. She set it free and laughed to herself. Suddenly a blue winged butterfly carefully made it's way down into Paige and Sheldon's hands.

"It's-"

"A-"

"The Karner blue!" they finished together.

"Also know as the Plebejus melissa samuelis!" (Just read it you dont need to know how to pronounce it) Paige Informed.

"How did they get one of these little guys here? They're usually on the eastern coast!" Sheldon asked. Paige shrugged.

"Well, people are known to take animals from their original habitats and bring them here," Paige said, letting the butterfly go.

"Look who's intelligent with butterflies." Sheldon chuckled. Paige laughed and looked at her finger. She laughed and showed Sheldon.

"One of them peed on me!" she laughed. Sheldon laughed and rubbed it off. Paige smiled. This was nice coming to the museum. Even if her part of the day hadn't started yet. She laid on Sheldon's shoulder, watching the butterflies feed and fly around.

"This was nice. Coming to the museum. Even if my part of today hadn't started yet." she said. Sheldon chuckled to himself and looked at Paige, who was falling asleep. He was about to rest his head on hers, when a stern sound startled them.

"MILES, SIMON, JEANETTE, PAIGE, SHELDON, THEODORE, AND ELEANOR PLEASE COME TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING!" a voice called over the intercom. Paige woke up and looked to Sheldon as he looked at her. They sighed.

"Alvin." he said.

"And Britt." Paige added. They both got up and ran back inside the building to the front of the building, where Alvin and Brittany were outside on a front bench. Paige groaned and hurried outside. They were soon followed by Miles, Simon and Jeanette. Then Theodore and Eleanor. They all had shocked faces, but their shock soon turned into frustration, disappointed, and anger, as the situation was explained. No one was happy. Not even Jeanette and Simon. Alvin and Brittany felt bad, they had to leave the museum early.

When they all got into the car, Alvin and Brittany were angry. Everybody else kinda felt that something bad would happen, and didn't really seem to care if they were used to it. They were tired of it. Even Paige and Sheldon. And they had been reunited 2 weeks ago. Simon approached the two.

"Alvin, what were you thinking?!" he asked. Alvin widened his eyes, and put a hand over his heart, sad.

"Si, I am disappointed that you have such little faith in me. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING." he said. Simon rolled his eyes.

"Alvin, you're always getting someone else, or yourself in trouble! It's the Chipette's birthday!" he complained. Miles turned the car off and got onto the road. Alvin pinched the fur on his forehead.

"Brittany was the one who chased me!" he called, pointing to Brittany. Brittany growled. Jeanette was shocked.

"Brittany, you just had to ruin Jeanette's part of the day by getting all of us kicked out of the museum?!" Eleanor asked, now furious. Jeanette sighed. Paige stomped up to Brittany, her nostrils flaring.

"Brittany! Why are you chasing Alvin in the hallway. The manager said you trashed the place! Breaking glasses, ripping up the fabric on the dresses! And now we have to pay for it! The WHOLE HALLWAY." Paige screamed out angrily. Brittany huffed and folded her arms. She was about to speak, when Jeanette turned her around. Brittany knew this was not going to end well.

"Brittany, you can't just lose your temper like that. It creates chaos." Jeanette said. Brittany, now ready to speak.

"Alvin was the one who provoked me! I may have lost my temper, but I wasn't the only one who was apart of this! Alvin was the one who broke the most, I was just lucky I didn't have to break anything since that demon of a munk, was trashing everything for me!" she shouted. Paige gasped, and growled as she turned to Alvin. Simon, who wasn't surprised, turned back to Alvin who was now chuckling nervously.

"How did we not see this coming?" Sheldon asked. Paige, now furious, was about to completely lose it on Alvin.

"Alvin, I'm gone for 2 weeks, come back, hoping with everything inside of me that you'll behave better than Britt, Jean, and Ellie have seen and told me. Then think happy thoughts about me and my sisters having the perfect birthday, then when it's Jeanette's turn to be entertained, YOU PROVOKE BRITTANY, AND TRASH THE HALLWAY, NOW CAUSING US TO PAY FOR IT?!" she screamed. Simon put a hand on her shoulder, whispering something in her ear. Everyone gathered around Alvin. Now much more angry then ever. Even Jeanette.

"ALLLLLVIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNN!"
