Chapter 4

An Apple Can't Keep Enemies Away

Anthems 11:17 AM

Alex skipped down the road humming to herself. "I love Anthems! The parties, the boys, the excitement!"

Braden sighed "This is the first time we've ever been to Anthems, Alex."

"Well it looks like a place I would adore." Alex said running over to a fruit stand Braden right behind her. They both licked there lips for the juicy bright red apple. Grabbing it at the same exact time. "I saw it first Braden!" Alex whined yanking hard.

"I'm the oldest and biggest. I need more food!" Braden snapped pulling hard.

"What a bunch of crap!" Alex hissed putting her back into getting that apple.

Braden gasped "I'm gonna tell mom you said that when we get home!"

"Go ahead you squealer!" Alex said finally getting the apple and biting into it.

Braden stomped his foot "Oh! You just think your so much better then me!"

Alex giggled "I don't think silly, I know."

Braden got nose to nose with his sister "Oh really! Put your apple were your mouth is!"

Alex glared hard "I don't know what that means. But your on!"

The kids dashed of into directions but met up at the same place. Jumping on a piller.

Alex and Braden

Sun goes down,
I'm just gettin' up,
I'm headed for the city of lights.

Radio blastin',
All the way to the club,
Gonna rock this town tonight

Alex
You're living in a man's world,
They tell me.

But I ain't gonna buy it.
The thing's they're tryin' to sell
me, now.

Cause I'm the girl of rock and roll
(Oooo!)
Yeah I'm the girl of rock and roll.
Rock and roll, roll, roll-ah!

Braden

Curtain's up,
And I'm ready to go,
My guitar is in my hand.

There's nothin' more that I'd rather do,
Than play in a rock and roll band.

What I have is what I will believe in,
Headin' for the top!
Don't you know?
I'll never stop believein' now!

Cause I'm the boy of rock and roll,
(You better believe it, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, I'm the boy of rock and roll.
Rock and roll.

Alex
I am the girl,
I am the girl,
I am the girl of rock and roll.

Braden
I am the boy,
I am the boy,
I am the boy of rock and roll.
Cause I'm the boy of rock and roll,

Alex
OOOH!
Yeah, I'm the girl of rock and roll,
Better believe that I am!


Braden
Yeah, I'm the boy of rock and roll
Rock and roll!!

Alex
Yeah, I'm the girl of rock and roll,
Rock and rock and roll!!!

Braden
Yeah, I'm the boy of rock and roll
Rooooock and roll

Alex
Yeah, I'm the girl of rock and roll,
Rock and rock and roll!

Alex grinned "Like usual, I won!"

"Who says?" Braden snapped.

Alex put a thumb on her chest. "Me!" she then gobbled down the rest of the apple and rubbed her tummy "Mmmm…"

Braden and Alex walked back to the main street and bumped into Klaus and Claudia. Alex lost her voice trying to say something, her mouth moving but no words coming out.

"Hello children. Nice day isn't it?"

Braden stepped in front of Alex as they grabbed them. "Where are you taking us?" Braden stuttered.

"You'll never win! Mom and Dad will come… you'll be sorry!" Alex screamed thrashing around.

Klaus and Claudia laughed evilly as they disappeared into the darkness with the two chipmunks.
