Chapter 7: Hide and Go Ghost

After seperating from the hug, the Chipmunks and Chipettes all smiled at each other and started discussing about what they should do next.
"We could play hide and seek. That way, we could play, have lunch afterwards, and then play again with the bed sheet parachute if we want too. What do you say?!" Theodore suggested enthusiastically. Everyone thought about what Theodore said and agreed.
"Alright, you all hide, and I'll seek!" Alvin said as his brothers and the Chipettes nodded other heads. Alvin began counting as his friends went in different directions, looking for where they could hide. Theodore hid under the white bed sheet parachute, Simon and Eleanor his in the kitchen cabinets, Jeanette his behind one of the couch pillows, and Brittany his in the upstairs closet in the Chipmunks and Chipette's bedroom.
After Alvin was done counting, he went to look for the others. Soon, he found Jeanette under the pillow, and then in no time at all, Alvin found Simon and Eleanor in the kitchen. Now all he had to do was find Theodore and Brittany. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Alvin saw the bed sheet that they had used as a parachute and saw it- Moving?! Alvin was confused, but as he looked closer, he saw a small lump under the sheet moving around which explained why the bed sheet was moving. Alvin rolled his eyes, knowing that it was his little brother Theodore under the sheet.
"Really, Theodore?! You're hiding under the bed sheet? That's way too obvious! C'mon! Get outta the bed sheet little buddy!" Alvin said as he lifted the sheet with his paw and crawled under it to go looking for his brother.
Meanwhile, after Theodore had heard Alvin, his stomach growled. Theo didn't want to ruin his appetite, but he also knew that Alvin was looking for him under the sheet. Theodore decided that he would only be a minute, so he quietly crawled out of the bed sheet, and headed towards the kitchen for a snack. Unfortunately, Alvin had no idea that Theodore was no longer under the bed sheet, so as he kept looking for him, he was unaware that he was was now the only one under the bed sheet. While he looked however, Theodore came out of the kitchen eatting a cheeseball, and walked over to Simon, Jeanette, and Eleanor.
"Hi guys. What's going on?" Theodore asked as he munched on his snack.
"Oh, Alvin's just looking for you under the bed sheet, but so far, he hasn't found you yet!" Simon replied calmly. Suddenly, Simon's eyes widened.
"Theodore! What are you doing?! You're supposed to be hiding under the bed sheet!" Simon exclaimed in disbelief.
"I was. But then my stomach growled, so I went to go get a snack," Theodore explained until his eyes also widened and he quickly realized his mistake.
"Alvin! Are you okay?!" Theodore asked, concerned about his brother.
"Theodore? Is that you? Where are you little buddy?" Alvin answered back, still under the bed sheet.
"Alvin, I'm out of the bed sheet! You were right; I was hiding under the sheet. You found me! You can come out now!" Theodore replied, hoping his brother would come out, and stop searching for him. Unfortunately, it didn't help. As Alvin attempted to get out of the white bed sheet, he realized that he was now unable to see, and had no idea how to get out. Alvin panicked.
"Okay, just let me get- Wait a minute! I- Oh no! I'm stuck! I-I-I can't see! Help! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Alvin screamed as he struggled under the white bed sheet.
"Alvin!" Simon, Theodore, Jeanette, and Eleanor screamed, hoping that Alvin would be okay. While Alvin struggled under the sheet however, he wondered blindingly all over the living room.
"Help! Somebody help! Get this thing off of me! Theodore! Heeeeeellllllp!" Alvin cried out desperately.
"I'm coming, Alvin!" Theodore exclaimed as he was about to run over and help his brother get out of the bed sheet. Luckily, Simon grabbed his little brother before he could do anything.
"Theodore no! If you go try and help Alvin, you could get stuck under the sheet too! I don't want you or Alvin to get hurt while you're both trying to get out of the bed sheet... Or end up scaring someone because you both look like ghosts either!" Simon explained while Jeanette and Eleanor giggled at Simon's ghost joke. Theodore understood and apologized. Simon accepted Theodore's apology and the two brothers hugged.
"Awwwww!" Jeanette and Eleanor said as Simon and Theodore separated from the hug.
"I don't blame you for wanting to help out Alvin; your heart was in the right place. But we can't take any chances as long as Alvin's stuck under the bed sheet. We'll have to do something else, little buddy," Simon said to Theodore, appreciating Theodore's willingness to help out Alvin.
"Like what?" Theodore asked curiously. Suddenly, they all turned and saw that the bed sheet covered Alvin was gone! Then, they heard something.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Help! Help me! A ghost! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" came as scream from upstairs, making the four chipmunks jump.
"Uh oh," they all said before racing upstairs to find out what was going on. As they ran towards the Chipmunks and Chipette's bedroom, Brittany came out screaming.
"Help! Help! There's a ghost in the closet! Help!" Brittany screamed as she ran over to her sisters and hugged them.
"What are you talking about, Brittany?" Jeanette asked curiously. Brittany took a minute to calm down and then explained.
"I was hiding in our bedroom closet waiting for Alvin to find me, and then after a few minutes passed, I heard muffling sounds. I was nervous and asked if it was Alvin, but just got more muffling sounds as a response. I opened the door and felt something run into the closet! I closed the door, but couldn't see what it was since it was dark. I turned on a flashlight, and when I looked around, I saw the ghost standing in front of me! I screamed and tried to get away from the ghost, but it was no use! So I opened the closet door and ran out here!" Brittany explained.
Once Brittany was done with her story however, the five chipmunks heard more muffling, and the shadow of something coming towards them. They all stood shaking.
"Ahhhhhh! It's the ghost! Help!" Brittany screamed, hugging her sisters. Simon and Theodore hugged too as they all saw the bed sheet covered Alvin walk towards them.
"Ahhhhhh! Ghost!" They all screamed hugging each other. Suddenly, they heard a voice.
"Help! Help! Where's the ghost?! I can't see anything! Get me outta here!" the ghost cried out, waving it's arms like crazy. Simon and Theodore gasped, realizing who the 'ghost' was.
"Alvin!" they cried out as they helped their brother get free from the white bed sheet. The Chipettes gasped in relief after Alvin got out of the bed sheet, and ran over to hug him. Once the hugging was done, Brittany apologized for thinking he was a ghost.
"That's okay, Brit. At least I found everyone!" Alvin answered cheerfully.
