Still grasping onto Eleanor's hand, Theodore leaned in and rested his hand on the edge of her bed. Theodore could feel a faint heartbeat as he moved his hand to her neck, but it was fading.

"Eleanor, listen to me. I need you, okay?" Theodore said, starting to cry "I love you…" Theodore found it impossible to talk and instead buried his head into her side and cried. He did not notice that his brothers and Dave had left the room, leaving only Jeanette, Brittney and himself with Eleanor. Jeanette was busy holding Brittney's hand, hoping that her sister would somehow pull through.

One of the machines that was attached to Eleanor started to beep, causing the doctor to rush in.

"Theodore, I hate to say this but please get out of my way. No time to explain."

Theodore retreated, and took a seat in between Jeanette and Brittney. As the doctor started working, the machine let out one steady beep. With a hurried pace, the doctor grabbed a device off of a nearby table and placed it over her mouth, while attaching the other end to another machine.

"Come on, Eleanor… Don't you dare go on me now." The doctor uttered, hoping his efforts would be enough to save her. As the machine continued its solid beep, the doctor placed a finger onto Eleanor's neck, trying to feel a pulse.

"Somebody go get the rest of your family. Quickly!"

As Brittney bolted for the door, the doctor frantically worked with everything that he had, trying to help Eleanor along. It took Dave, Simon and Alvin seconds to come rushing into the room.

"What's wrong?" Alvin asked.

"There is never an easy way to say this…"

"Oh no! My sweet Eleanor is gone?"

The doctor nodded his head. Theodore ran to her side, while Alvin and Simon were busy crying. Desperate, Theodore placed his lips to hers and blew.

"Theo, what are you doing?"

"That one thing people do to each other. I've seen it on tv."

"I've never seen that work with any animal Theodore and I've been a doctor for over fifteen years."

"I've got to try!" I just have to."

The room was silent as Theodore tried to revive Eleanor. After a minute of trying, Theodore collapsed onto her in tears. He laid down next to her and placed his head against her own, giving her ear a light kiss.

"I love you, Eleanor. I always will."

As Theodore stood back up, he tried again to revive her, but was not succeeding. When he jumped from the bed to join his brothers, the doctor raised an eyebrow and stared at the machine.

"Odd. There must be a glitch."

"What do you mean?"

"The machine is showing that there is a heartbeat, but I don't feel a pulse."

The machine that had been emitting one solid beep was now letting out shorter ones. The doctor placed a finger back onto Eleanor but quickly removed it.

"In fifteen years, I've never seen this…."

"What is it, doctor?"

"She is showing signs of life. Theodore, you did it. A chipmunk just outdid every piece of medical equipment I have."

Excited, Theodore rejoined her, holding onto her left hand. He noticed that she was breathing very lightly. Her right leg twitched slightly, causing Theodore to cheer.

"Yay! My Eleanor is alive!"

"Remember though, that she still has a lot of injuries to recover from. I'm afraid you won't be singing together for a while."

"Way to be a buzzkill, Dave."

"Sorry. Guys, why don't we let Theodore be alone with her for a while? I'm sure we all could use something to eat, along with a bit of sleep."

"Agreed, Dave. Let's go."

Theodore let the doctor work on Eleanor but did not take his eyes off of her the entire time. Theo perked his ears as he heard a noise come from her direction that did not sound like any machine.

"Ele? Are you awake?"

All he got in response was a soft groan.

"Eleanor… can you hear me? It's me, Theo."

"Th… Theodore? Wha… what happened to me?"

"You were watching us perform when a storm hit the theater. You and I got trapped onstage while everyone else made it downstairs. You are so lucky to be alive right now."

"I am? Did I die?"

"For a minute or so, yes. Theodore somehow managed to revive you."

"Oh… okay. Theodore, I feel tired. Can you stay with me while I sleep?"

"Eleanor, I won't leave your side ever again. From every performance to every night back home. I'll never let you get in any danger again."

Eleanor asked Theo to come in close. With what strength she had, Eleanor reached up and gave him a small kiss.

"Thank you for saving me. I love you so much, Theo."

"And I you, Ele."
