Chapter 7, thank you Julia, that's all I have to say
Dave was driving to the game with the chipmunk and chipettes in the back seats, they were all very excited, but just then the there was a huge bang and the car was bopping up and down, dave knew something was wrong and pulled over, the chipmunks all had signs of worry on their faces, they all got out of the car and they sighed.
"Oh great, flat tire" Dave said glumly.
"But what about the game?" Theodore asked.
"There's no way we are going to get there, will be lucky to even catch 5 minutes of it at this rate" Dave said.
"But we promised Alvin" Brittany said.
"Yeah, how did we get a flat tire anyway?" Eleanor asked, Simon ran back into the road once it was clear and then ran back to the others.
"This is how" Simon said, holding a screw up, everyone groaned.
"Well okay, through it over there so this doesn't happen to anyone else" Dave said.
"Stay over here, while I call for help" Dave said pulling his mobile out of his pocket.
"Now what do we do?" Jeanette asked.
"What we can do, sit and wait for help to come" Simon said.
"But we promised Alvin, he needs us" Brittany replied.
"But Brittany, the games probably started by now and there's no way to get there" Eleanor said, they all sighed when Brittany got an idea.
"Why don't we just go, it's not far by now, and we could get there in 30 minutes" Brittany said.
"More like an hour with our small legs and Theodore running behind" Simon said. Everyone sighed again.
"Well, its worth a go, at least Alvin will know we tried" Brittany replied, everyone thought for a while and then nodded, Brittany smiled and looked up as Dave came walking over.
"Someone will be here in 30 minutes" Dave said, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
"Dave, what if we all run on to the game?" Brittany asked.
"No way, I can't risk such a long journey for you, anything can happen" Dave said walking away, Brittany sighed.
"Well, at least we tried" Jeanette said.
"No, that's not good enough" Brittany replied, everyone looked at her confused.
"Im going to the game and whoever wants to join me is welcome" Brittany added.
"But..." Simon said.
"No buts, I made a promise to my boyfriend and I intend to keep it" Brittany replied, no words could stop her, Brittany then started running off.
"Oh great, what now?" Simon asked.
"Guys, we have to go after her" Theodore said.
"But Theo, you heard what Dave said" Eleanor replied.
"But think of Brittany, she's all alone, anything could happen" Theodore said, everyone was surprised at Theodore's actions and then before they could say anything Theodore was off running after Brittany.
"THEO, COME BACK ITS TOO DANGEROUS!" Simon called out; Simon sighed and then also started running after them. Jeanette looked at Eleanor and they both shrugged their shoulders and before they knew it, they were also running after them. Dave turned around to where everyone was supposed to be, but when he saw no one there, he went into a panic, Dave was calling all of their names and looked under every bush and rock around them, he found nothing and started to become scared.
"Where could they of gone?" Dave wondered, he then remembered what they said about just them running on a head to the game.
"If they're going to disobey me anyway, why ask for permission in the first place?" Dave asked, Dave knew they were obviously sure on what they wanted to do, so he left them.
"Once this car tire is changed... I'm going to kill them" Dave said, sitting back down on a rock alone sighing.
"Thank for coming with me Theo" Brittany thanked.
"That's okay" Theodore replied panting hard.
"Hey, what about us" Simon said, who had finally caught up, Brittany and Theodore saw the others coming and stopped to wait for them.
"You guys are the best" Brittany said, the others smiled.
"Come on, Alvin needs us" Eleanor said, and then everyone started running off again, as fast as their little legs could carry them.
The game was not going so well, Alvin was sat all alone on the bench next to josh, sweating in fear from the moment he would be asked to play and win them the championship trophy, Alvin looked around the arena 20 times now, no one was there and he was very nervous, he never played without any of them there, where were they? They promised, didn't they? Alvin knew this would not go well.
Just then the team scored a point and Alvin was asked to play, tears started filling Alvin's eyes.
"I don't want to go, please do make me" Alvin sobbed.
"you have to, don't worry I got your back remember, we're friends now" josh said, this gave Alvin some more confidence and he gulped slowly walking onto the field, the arena cheered for him like always but this time the only thing Alvin could hear was his heart beat, he slowly approached the team that was still whispering about him, Ryan came up to Alvin and his heart beat went faster, once the team had their group discussion they got into their places. Josh knew Ryan was bound to attempt to hurt Alvin, but the truth was he didn't have a clue what to do, but he had to think of something fast.
"HIKE!" Ryan bellowed, the game began and Alvin ran to the other side of the field, josh noticed how much louder the crowd started cheering for Alvin and how much more annoyed Ryan was getting, he was going to do something, just then Ryan started running up to Alvin and Alvin was scared stiff to the spot, josh saw and panicked, he got up and grabbed the referees whistle and blew into it as loud as he could, Ryan immediately stopped charging at Alvin and sighed with anger, while Alvin just gulped, Ryan was actually trying to get rid of him. The referee pushed josh off of his whistle and apologised for the interruption. They got into their positions again, josh saved him once, but could he do it again?
"HIKE!" Ryan bellowed again, Alvin still did the same and ran to the other side of the field, Ryan ran past josh, and he tripped him up, the referee was confused by josh's actions and pulled him out of the game, now what would Alvin do? No josh, no family, what could be worse? They got into their positions and...
"HIKE!" Alvin again ran away as fast as he could and Ryan had just about had enough, he grabbed the football off the other team and through it as hard as he could towards Alvin's direction, Alvin was facing the wrong way and then people started yelling turn round to Alvin, but just as Alvin turned...
BANG
Alvin was knocked out, the last thing Alvin heard was not only the other team but his team laughing uncontrollably; he was out in a second. The referee stopped the game and the whole arena went quite while paramedics started running over to Alvin, when they saw that Alvin wasn't conscious they took him away to the side of the pitch. Josh who had now finally persuaded everyone he would behave ran out and when he saw Alvin he ran as fast as he could to the side where the paramedics were.
"ALVIN, ALVIN CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Josh screamed, people pulled him back and watched as they put an oxygen pump around Alvin's face, josh felt so angry, sure doing that to a full sized person, wouldn't be as bad but a small chipmunk, that could've killed him, josh went running onto the pitch and grabbed Ryan by the collar.
"WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU, WHAT IS YOUR ACTUAL PROBLEM?" Josh bellowed in his face, Ryan's friends pulled josh away from him and josh went to sit back down next to Alvin.
"I'm sorry little buddy" josh mumbled.
"I don't think I can make it much longer" Theodore moaned.
"Me too, my legs are killing me" Eleanor added.
"Maybe we should rest for a while" Simon said.
"Yeah, a stitch" Jeanette said holding her side, they were all breathing heavily.
"Come on guys, we can see the arena just over there" Brittany said pointing. Everyone just flopped on the floor with exhaustion.
"well, I've done my exercise for the year" Theodore joked, everyone apart fro Brittany laughed painfully holding their sides, just then they all heard an ambulance coming, they were all quiet and stared as is drove past them.
"It's going to the arena" Simon said confused.
"I've got a bad feeling about this" Eleanor added, Brittany's eyes widened.
"COME ON GUYS, WE HAVE TO FIND OUT!" Brittany screamed, everyone flopped up and started running towards the arena again, Brittany was the first one in and when she saw the ambulance she ran up to it, everyone followed behind, once they saw it was Alvin they gasped.
"We're too late" Jeanette said as they carried Alvin into the ambulance.
"Is that thing on his face bad?" Theodore asked worried.
"YES!" Everyone bellowed back, Theodore felt tears coming to his eyes.
"Do you guys want to hop in too?" a paramedic asked.
"Oh yes please" Brittany replied, they all hopped in and sat around Alvin staring at him, the ambulance door was about to close when it was stopped.
"Wait, how do you feel about an extra passenger?" josh asked, they all shrugged and he smiled and hopped in closing the door and sat next to Simon.
"I'll tell you what happened on the way" josh said.
