Well, this is my fourth chapter, and my longest so far. I had fun writing this chapter, as many, many things ran through my head on where to take this chapter. I sure hope you like it! Please R&R!

The next day was Saturday, so Dave, the Chipettes, and the Chipmunks all headed to church. They all payed attention during the classes and the worship service, sang when they needed to, and prayed when asked, but the only thing that was really on all of their minds was what they where going to do about their songs. They had successfully contacted Claire, who wanted Switchfoot, then Aunt Jackie, but she didn't know, so she said she would send her answer with a bucket of popcorn on Christmas, and finally Toby (apparently Julie was there too. She would have both of their answers on Monday, since they have Homeroom). Dr. Rubin was to be contacted tomorrow with just Dave and her talking. One thought ran through Alvin's mind when he told them that: she's going to announce it when we perform!

"What are you doing, Dave? We are supposed to keep this low until we perform around the world, not around the neighborhood!" complained Alvin to Dave.

"I know what I am doing, Alvin. If I talk to Dr. Rubin now, she will have time to decide what band she wants and whether or not she wants to let you perform at the school," said Dave.

"Why does she need to decide if she is going to let us perform?" Alvin said, "She let us perform without any problem before," he said, questioning whether or not Dave was actually going to talk about that and not about his recent performance in school.

"Well, Alvin, if you think I'm going to talk to her about your performance at school, then think again," said Dave, reading Alvin's thoughts. "Besides, by law you cannot combine church and state, meaning you cannot sing about Christ during school. So, if she where to allow it, she would not only be putting her career as a principle on the line, she could also get put in jail for it if she does this without permission."

"Wow, that's harsh. All of that for singing a Christian song during school, huh?" asked Alvin.

"Unfortunately, that's right. Though I don't think she would be put in jail for that, Dave," said Simon, joining the conversation.

"Even so, she would have major problems to deal with," said Dave.

Simon had done some digging around the day before about Christianity and what songs to sing, and had the idea of, hard enough as it sounds, to follow the Seventh-Day Adventist religion, which means that during the time of sundown of Friday to the sundown of Saturday, the Chipmunks, Chipettes, and Dave could not do anything not related to Christ, so that meant no video games unless they where Christian (Alvin nearly had a heart attack when he heard that), no T.V. unless that, too, was Christian (another near heart attack by Alvin), no shopping (Brittany fainted when she heard that one), no music unless it was Christian (that made everyone, including Simon and Dave upset, though it gave them new ideas as to who to sing), and many other things that, by the end of it all, left everyone with nearly nothing to do but go on walks and help out around the house, neighborhood, and community, and even helping around the house was limited, as they aren't allowed to do work unless it's to help other people. So, that left Dave and everyone to out on a walk.

"I'm bored!" complained Alvin

"Alvin, that's the 50th time we heard you say that, and we've only been walking for an hour!" complained Dave, "It's only one day, I'm sure you can live with it!"

"I know, Dave, but I'M SO BORED! There's nothing to do!"

"Nothing to do but complain, apparently," mumbled Simon under his breath, but Alvin caught it.

"Did I ask for your input, Simon?" asked an irritable Alvin.

"No," said Simon.

"Then shut up."

"You said the S word!" gasped Theodore.

"Quiet Theodore!" five high voices rang.

"This is supposed to be a quiet walk, not a time to tear at each others throats! Theodore, Eleanor, I want you two to walk over here," Dave pointed to his far left, "Simon, Jeanette, over here," he pointed to his far right, "Brittany, Alvin, in front of me." He then thought for a moment. He knew it would spell trouble if they were by each other. "On second thought, Alvin, I want you here," he pointed to his immediate left, "and Brittany, over here," he pointed to his immediate right. "Now, we are going to walk around the town, and if you need to, you can climb on me and rest, but I want you to walk for most of the time, alright? Then, we will drive to the Christian store and buy some things," he caught the look from Simon. "That's alright, because, if I remember correctly, you can only do stuff that is Christian and has to deal with Christ, right?" Simon nodded his head. "Then I figure that if we are buying stuff that has to deal with Christianity, we should be fine, right?" He looked hopeful at Simon.

Simon thought for a moment, then said, "I guess so."

"Then it's settled. After this walk, we are heading to the Christian store." Dave glanced around. "Uh-oh. Here comes the press. Quick, hide in my sweatshirt pocket!" All six of them scurried to keep up with Dave, climbed up his pants, and hid in his sweatshirt.

"Move your tail!"

"Uh, O.K..."

"That's my nose!

"Move your butt!"

"You're sitting on my head!"

"Be quiet all of you!"

"Thank you Simon," said Dave. The reporter started to walk up. Dave quickly shoved his hands into his pockets.

"Hey, watch it!" Alvin complained.

"Quiet." The reporter was nearly to Dave. He prepared for the inevitable.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Seville. I see you don't have the Chipmunks or Chipettes with you. Where are they at?" the reporter asked

"At home. I was going to get some groceries, and I left Simon and Jeanette in charge," lying through his teeth. "Why do you ask?" questioned Dave.

"It's my job as a reporter to ask these things, Mr. Seville. I hope you don't mind, but this is being recorded for further use later."

"Not at all. So, what did you want to ask me?"

"Just how you where handling all six chipmunks, now that they all live with you. Any news on your next tour?"

"Nothing so far, but as soon as I know, you'll find out. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get the groceries before Alvin burns the house down."

"Since when have I burned the house down?" asked Alvin, a little too loud.

"Did you hear that?" asked the reporter.

"Hear what?" asked Dave.

"I heard Alvin. Let them out. I want to speak to them in person."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I told you I left them at home."

"Right, and I'm not a reporter. Now let them out." The reporter was good. Maybe a little too good.

Dave hesitantly let them out. They all scrambled out to get some air, since Dave blocked it off when he pushed his hands in the pocket. The reporter looked familiar. A little too familiar. The all knew the face, just not the name...

"So, guys, what's happening?"

"Nothing much. Just taking a stroll." said Brittany.

"Where to?"

"Just a walk around town," said Alvin.

"Any particular reason?"

"Nope. We just want to take a walk,"said Simon.

"So you are talking a walk... because you want to? There's no particular reason?"

"Nope. Especially now that we're a Christian group," said Theodore. He covered his mouth and said, "Oops."

"So now you're Christian, huh? Interesting... Any further comments?"

"No further comments. Come on guys,"said Dave. As they started walking, they couldn't help but notice the maniacal grin the reporter had...

As soon as they where out of earshot, Ian Hawke said, "So now their Christian, huh? This outta be interesting..."

Dun Dun Dun! Plot twist! Wondering what will hapen next? R&R and find out! I will try and have Chapter 5 up by Wednesday!
