The next morning Alvin began to look up when the next full moon was going to be while Simon was looking over a blood sample. Alvin was ranting about this and wasn't sure how to solve it and got bored with Simon not saying anything. "What are you doing?" he asked, impatiently.

"Looking over a blood sample of Theodore's." Simon said.

"Yuck! Where'd you get it?" Alvin asked.

"From the shirt he was wearing when the dog bit him." Simon explained. "There's something weird about his blood..."

Darla cracked the door open since she was bored and decided to watch the boys.

"I need to see another blood sample just to be sure." Simon said before he found Mr. Talbot's blood sample.

"Let me see, let me see!" Alvin took it, but accidentally dropped it. "Oops."

"Wonderful, Alvin, you've contaminated the samples." Simon rolled his eyes.

"Well, excuse me for living!" Alvin scoffed.

But when Simon looked at the contaminated samples, he saw something surprising. Alvin looked out the window, if only there was a way to get the cane from Mr. Talbot, but he never put it down. However, this one time, Mr. Talbot actually did put it down. They just had to get it and hit it on Theodore and Atticus's heads to knock them back to normal.


And that's what Alvin went to do. Jessica was about to do the same thing. Both were wondering what they were doing, once they both realized they were doing the same thing, they decided to go together. They both found Atticus and Theodore digging and decided that now was the perfect time.

"It's for their own good..." Jessica sighed shakily. "Oh, I can't do it..." she buried her face in her hands, looking like she was about to cry.

But the moment Alvin looked at Theodore and Atticus, he also decided that he couldn't do it. He then tripped and the cane fell out of his hands and it hit Atticus and Theodore on the heads.

"Hey! What was that for?!" Atticus and Theodore asked angrily.

"Guys, please, don't!" Alvin cried.

Theodore and Atticus broke the cane together and handed it over, storming off. Talbot came out to look for his cane now, but couldn't find it. Alvin and Jessica looked at the cane and got scared at how angry Mr. Talbot would get and decided to run for it.

Dave and Patrick saw this. "Alvin, Jessica!" they both yelled.

"Yes, Dad/Dave?" Jessica and Alvin asked nervously.


The fathers told their older children inside to scold them and told them they had to apologize to Mr. Talbot about breaking the cane. They hadn't seen Theodore and Atticus break it.

"Apologize to Mr. Talbot?!" Alvin and Jessica asked out of shock.

"And offer to pay for his cane," Dave added sharply. "Although, I still don't understand why you were USING his cane to defend yourself from a... What was it?"

"Uh, giant gopher." Alvin explained sheepishly.

"And you're sure that's the story you want to go with?"

"Why, do you have a better one?" Jessica asked.

"Well, we always prefer the truth." Patrick said then.

"Do you really want the truth?" Jessica asked.

"I can't speak for Jessica, but I can't go to Mr. Talbot's, Dave," Alvin kept going on. "Tonight's the school play... Yeah, that's right! And I got an important part!"

"Oh, right, that's probably why the call it 'Dr. Jekyll and his Butler'." Simon scoffed.

This caused for Atticus and Theodore to chuckle.

Alvin groaned. "Okay, you want the truth?"

"I don't know if I can handle the truth..." Dave sighed.

'We gotta make something up, so then we won't have to go to Mr. Talbot.' Jessica thought.

Alvin got hysterical about how Mr. Talbot creeped him out, mentioning being a vampire or an alien of sorts.

Dave made his chipmunk son stop. "Now, since you told the truth, you go on ahead."

"We'll apologize for you, you can go too, Jessica." Patrick added.

"Oh, thank you, Dave, you're a lifesaver!" Alvin hugged the men, then ran off with Jessica.

"Yeah, thanks, Dad, you and Dave are lifesavers." Jessica said as she ran off.

Dave and Patrick slightly rolled their eyes at their elder children, but went off to Mr. Talbot to apologize for them.


"Hey, Mom." Cherry came down the hallway out of her bedroom at home.

"Hi, dear, hope you have fun tonight." Michelle smiled.

Cherry blinked. "Pardon?"

"Maestro Forte told us you wanted to go to the elementary school to see the play, don't you remember telling him?" Michelle smiled to her.

Cherry stormed out of her house, nearly across the yard to where the church was where Forte called home these days. "I'M GONNA KILL HIM!"

When Cherry was this mad, oh, boy, that meant trouble for whoever she was going to be attacking.

"Hello, Cerise." Forte looked to her.

"Why do you tell my parents I agree to stuff I don't wanna do?" Cherry scowled.

"How else would I get you out of the house?" Forte smirked. "We better get ready for the play."

"I'm not going," Cherry folded her arms. "I'll help the kids, but you can't make me go. Not even with blackmail, bribery, or... or..."

"Tonight is the next full moon and where your friends Theodore and Atticus will turn into werewolves and it also the night that Talbot will turn into a werewolf." Forte said, reminding her of how important and serious this was.

"Can't you go?" Cherry groaned. "I have something important to do in my room... A bunch of homework..."

Forte looked to her. "Spending hours on your computer to 'message instantly' with your friends or watching internet viral videos of foolish doings is not homework."

"Ugh, you make it sound so boring..." Cherry was really annoyed with him now. "You need a vacation... There's a reason why people don't live for centuries..."

Forte knew that Cherry was going to be stubborn and had to find a way to bring her with him. "If you go with me, you don't have to go to weekend lessons for a month."

Cherry's eyes widened and she looked back to him with a smile. "You mean it?"

Forte came to her other side with a smirk. "And you can watch whatever you want when I come to look after you... Just nothing with nudity..."

Cherry smirked. "Okay!" she shook his hand, that was a deal she could agree with.

After agreeing with the deal, they began to make their way to the play.

"You owe me for this." Cherry said to Forte.

"Ah, shut up." Forte snorted, making her shocked at him.
