As they get to know Charlie, they all soon discover that Charlie is actually from somewhere else. Will Charlie be able to stay with the Chipmunks and Chipettes, or will he have to say goodbye and go back to his old home?

Chapter 7: Accepted

The Chipmunks, the Chipettes and Charlie all rushed over to Dave after seeing him faint. They instantly started to fan Dave, making sure that he was getting enough air to breath. Once Dave eventually regained consciousness, he first looked at the Chipmunks and Chipettes, and then at Charlie.

Dave slowly got up, sat down on Simon's bed and asked: "Guys, what is going on? Who is this bat?"

"My name is Charlie, and the only reason I'm here is because I was just trying to find a place to stay. I'm sorry for surprising you," Charlie explained calmly. Dave was still having trouble understanding the situation.

"Okay, but where are you from?" Dave asked, trying to understand.

"I don't know exactly where I was born. My parents were both Straw Colored Flying Fox Fruit bats like me, but I don't know if I was actually born in the wild, or in a zoo," Charlie replied. Thinking this over, Dave realized that there was no way they could return Charlie if they didn't know exactly where he was from.

"Okay, here's what we're going to do; we'll allow Charlie to stay here for the time being until I can find out more information on where he's from. Charlie, you're now a member of this family," Dave said making sure everyone understood the plan. Everyone agreed.

"Thank you for letting me stay with you!" Charlie thanked Dave before the man walked out of the room.

"Yay!" the Chipmunks and Chipettees cheered, now hugging Charlie with delight. Charlie hugged back knowing that he was accepted.

It was then that the Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany Jeanette, Eleanor and Charlie all went downstairs to eat dinner. Once they reached the table, Alvin asked: "So Dave, what's for dinner?"

"We're having watermelon, chicken, rice and milk to drink," Dave responded before putting a plate of food down for Charlie.

The family ate in silence and afterwards, Dave went to go clean the dishes. The Chipmunks and the Chipettes all then went to hang out in the living room with Charlie. As they hung out, Charlie explained to them even though bats were nocturnal and were only active at night, his particular species of bat actually did sleep at night and was awake during the day. Soon, after hours of talking and watching TV, it was time for bed.

Everyone then got off the couch, headed upstairs and fell asleep.
