Chapter 7 Trouble at School

Sunday was a fun day for both the chipmunks and Tyler. Tyler revealed that he studied war and history and so they spent the day looking at a war museum. The chipmunks weren't familar with history and so each display they saw, Tyler would give them a quick history lesson and explained why it was important to him and why it should be for everyone to study it.

Tyler said that his family was Dutch, and that his grandparents live in occupied Holland at the time of World War 2 . If men didn't go over seas and fight, he wouldn't be here, and everyone might be speaking German.

After they left the museum and had a bite to eat, they went to a water park were they went down water slides and rapid rivers. Tyler helped them forget all their worries and made them feel like they were normal kids.

It really helped everyone unload for a while, especially Alvin, who seemed to forget all his worries and had a great time. That night, the chipmunks and chipettes talked about their lives to Tyler, but everytime when they asked Tyler what his story was, he'd just say that he lives in Ontario in a small town the shore of Lake Huron training to join the RCMP, when they would ask a question about his family, he would change the subject by saying "Oh, there's nothing to tell" or "It's nothing that special to talk about".

When bed time approached, Tyler tucked everyone in and wished them sweat dreams and then went to his room to go to sleep.

The next morning, alarms buzzed as everyone grogally got up and cleaned themselves up for school. Everyone was still half a sleep when they strolled into the kitchen were Tyler was sitting reading a newspaper and drinking milk .

When he saw everyone enter the kitchen in almost a comatose state, he pretended to be scared and leaned back as far as he could, "Oh my gosh, the zombies are coming" as he chuckled at the end. The chipmunks just went for their meals Tyler already had prepared, unable to draw the strengh to laugh.

Tyler set his news paper down and looked at all six chipmunks. "Well, before we leave, we need to get my story down. I'm a family friend visiting from Canada, and I'm going to school so that I'm not missing it for a long period of time".

Everyone nodded as they all continued to dig into their breakfast. Once everyone was ready, they all got their supplies ready as Tyler put on red and white back pack with a red maple leaf on it. Then he put on a black baseball cap that had the photo of a Spirfire aircraft that read "Britain's Finest Hour".

"Is everyone ready" said Tyler as he put on his sunglasses. "Yes" they all replied quietly as they exited the house. "Wait" said Jeanette as she turned back to look at Tyler who was locking the door, "how are you going to attended class with us when you are 20 years old?".

"Simple" replied Tyler. He turned into the silvery liquid and when he reshaped, he looked younger, like what he looked like in the photo of him and Megatron. They all sighed, knowing that Tyler could do almost anything as they made their way to the road, where they saw a black heavy 4X4 truck waiting for them.

"Is that Iron Hide?" asked Alvin eyeing the truck curiously. "Yeah it is," said Tyler as he opened the passenger door to let everyone in. "I have him here in the city watching over things". Once all the chipmunks had their seats, Tyler got in and buckled into the passenger seat.

"Alright Iron Hide, whenever you are ready" Tyler said as he taped the dashboard. The trucks motor came to life as Iron Hide pulled onto the street and went for the school.

"You guys head stright for class" Tyler said to the chipmunks who were sitting on the centre seat, "I have to go and meet Dr Rubin first". After a few minutes, the truck pulled up to the school and Tyler jumped out with the Chipmunks close behind, once they were out, Tyler turned back to Iron Hide.

"Don't pick us up, we'll walk home, in the mean time, explore the city, and stay hidden, I don't want to hear that a giant robot is walking around downtown". Iron Hide drove off as Tyler turned to see the chipmunks already entering the school.

Tyler followed, weaving though the maze of moving students as is they were trees. Tyler entered the school then proceded to the office, as soon as it was in his sights, he took off his cap and looked around for Dr Rubin.

As Tyler eyed the school arctecture, he heard a voice from behind, "You must be Tyler Pauwel". Tyler turned around to she the top of Dr. Rubin's head. He took a step back so he could see her face and once he did, he exteneded his hand as Dr Rubin shook it.

"That I am" Tyler said cheerfully, "Nice to meet Dr Rubin" he said with a big smile. "Well" she said letting go of Tyler's hand, "now that we've been introduced, I'll show you to your room". As they walked down the maze of halls, Tyler and Dr Rubin made small talk, about how Tyler knew the chipmunks and the what part of Canada he comes from.

When they reached the Tyler's assigned room, Dr Rubin knocked on the door and was greeted by Julie. "Here you are Ms Seville, your new student has arrived". Julie looked at Tyler and spoke, "Hi Tyler, great to see you", "Same here Ms Seville" said Tyler with his usual smile on his face as he walked in.

Tyler quickly gazed around the room and saw the chipmunks sitting on the top of their desks with tiny note book in front of them. Tyler had a erie feeling come over him from his powers. Someone in the room was eyeing him as a potenial person to pick on.

Tyler scanned the room and saw the culprit, Tyler knew his name from the time he watched over Alvin. Ryan, the jock, he hated when all the light was taken away from him, especially when a new student arrived because all the girls would ignore him.

"Everyone" said Julie walking to her desk, "This is Tyler Pauwel, he's a family friend of the Seville's visiting from Canada. He will be attending school here until it is time for him to head home". Tyler stood there with his back pack slung over his one shoulder as he gave a small wave, "Good day everyone" he said with his smile.

Julie showed Tyler to his deck, which was next to the chipmunks and chipettes. Tyler sat down, opened his back pack and took out an pen and note pad as Julie started he lesson.

As lunched arrived the chipmunks grabed their meals and went for a table to call. Tyler was near the back of the line with a tray and took him a minute to joined the chipmunks. He sat down with his tray in his hand with his RCMP book in the mix of food.

Tyler reached for the book, opened it, and read it as he ate his food. "Enjoying school so far?" asked Eleanor, as she ate her lunch. Tyler looked up from his book with a smiling, "Reminds me of all the good memories I had in school, playing in my schools concert and jazz band, and all the good friends that I had".

"What did you play in band?" said Jeanette, curious to know. "Saxphones, and guitars mostly, but thanks to my powers, I can play almost any instrument". As they all ate their meals, they continued the small talk, when Simon all of a sudden froze.

"Uh oh, here come Ryan" he said nevously. Tyler quickly glanced back to see Ryan approaching with a small group of jocks. He looked at Simon and gave a smile, "Don't worry Simon, he's not here for you, he's here for me. You all might want to get to the far side of the table, this is going to get hairy". Everyone moved to the otherside of the table as Ryan and he friends approached.

"So" said Ryan as he walked up behind Tyler, "your the the new student from Canada". Tyler set down his book and turned around to face Ryan. "That I am, nice to meet you, I'm Tyler" he said standing up to shake Ryan's hand. Ryan just looked down at his hand, and gently pushed it away.

"Listen, I don't want you talking to any of the girls in this school, they are mine to talk to only, just to make that clear". Tyler gave a puzzled look at Ryan. "I don't think that is your choice, if girls are going to talk to me, I'm not going to ignore them, I'm going to polite and speak to them".

Ryan just gave Tyler a cold stare, then all of a sudden he heard one of Ryan's friend from behind. "Hey, look at this weird book he was reading", Tyler's RCMP book then flew over his head and landed in Ryan's hands. "Well well" Ryan said slyly, "This looks like and expensive book".

Ryan then held the book open and put his hands in a postion that would rip it apart. "Now now" said Tyler crossing his arms, "there is no need to act immature here". Then in a set of moves that were almost to quick to see, Tyler suddenly seperated Ryan's hand from the book by pushing them away, and before the book even had the time to start falling, Tyler grabed the book with the palm of his hand and sent it flying throught the air land landing face up back on the table, making the chipmunks jump.

The chipmunks stared at ammazement at what they saw as Tyler looked back at Ryan who was in disbelief at what just happened. "Listen" said Tyler, "I don't want trouble, I just want to sit, read my book and talk to my friends".

Tyler looked back at the chipmunks to make sure no one was sneaking around, but before he could turn back, Ryan clentched his fist and it aimed for Tyler. Before his fist came close to Tyler's turned head, Tyler's hand came up and grabed Ryan around the wrist.

Ryan yelped in surprise and pain as Tyler looked back at Ryan, his hand still tightly griped around his wrist, causing him to get down on his knees, trying to relieve the pain Tyler was causing. "You should never throw a puch at a new student, because you never know what they are capable of" as he looked down at Ryan with a smile.

One of Ryan's friends snuck behide and ran at Tyler, but before he came close, Tyler let go of Ryan's hand and jumped into the air doing a back flip, causing his friend to tackle straight into Ryan. Both hit the gound hard as Tyler landed back on his feet watching Ryan and the other student get back onto their feet.

Ryan stood up as his friend gathered behind them, Tyler counted around 10 as Ryan stared at Tyler with pure anger in his eyes. "I'll make you pay for that embarasment" said Ryan as he and the other's all clentched their fist and punched them into the palm of their hands.

Tyler just shook his head as student in the cafiteria egged them on. "If you just keep this up, you and the terrible 10 will only be embarrased" he said with his arms crossed. Ryan and his friends began to circle around Tyler to make sure he couldn't escape.

Tyler looked at the circle of students around him, and just chuckled. Then a student ran at Tyler. He quickly jumped up, making the student run into the student on the other side. As soon as he landed, a student began to throw fist at him, but Tyler did several moves making him avoid everyone.

The student aimed his fist straight at Tyler, but Tyler ducked down, making the student strike another person that was come up to attack from behind. The student fell to the ground holding his face in pain as Tyler continued what he was doing.

Everytime a student had a clear shot, Tyler would manuveur out of the way causing them to hit someone else in the fight. Never in the whole scuffle, Tyler laid his hands on them, he was making them hit themselves.

One by one, they all fell in pain from the hits until there was one student standing, when Tyler glanced up at him, the student ran in fear away from Tyler. Tyler walked over to Ryan, who was huddling on the ground clutching his stomach groaning in pain.

Tyler stood over Ryan who looked up at him with fear and disblief, while Tyler just smiled "I told you save yourself embarrasment". Tyler then stood up and sat down at his table with the chipmunks as he continued eating and reading his book.

Everyone that was on the ground slowly stood up and hobbled out of the cafiteria while every other student kept their distance, afraid to get hurt as Tyler ate his apple, the chipmunks just sat there in amazement.

"That was incredible" said Alvin. Tyler smiled, acting as if what he did was no big deal. "Now what are you going to do?" said Brittany in horror, "you could be expelled and then Alvin will have to face these powers on his own".

Alvin's eyes widen, now realizing how serious this was. "Don't worry" said Tyler as he ate his apple. "One power I didn't tell you guy yet is I have the ability to predict certain future events. I knew this was going to happen, so I know how to avoid suspension".

Then he leaned in close to the chipmunks, "Did you guys see that I never hit any of them, I made them all hit themselves". Everyone's eyes widened remembering what they could see through the mass of falling studentand quick moves.

"That's brilliant" said Simon. Before anyone could say another word, Dr rubin's voice came on the PA, "Tyler Pauwel, please report to my office". Tyler stood up and winked at the chipmunks as he turned and left.

Tyler leaned agianst a wall outside Dr Rubin's office humming a turn to himself as Ryan finished his story to Dr Rubin. Tyler, thanks to his powers, could hear every word he was saying. Ryan was claiming that Tyler started the fight, that he threw the first punch.

Tyler just chuckled as Ryan finished up and went for the door. Ryan exited the office were Tyler surpised him, "How's the stomach" he said with a laugh. Ryan just stared at Tyler with fear as he cut through the office to avoid him.

"Mr Pauwel" came Dr Rubin's voice from her office. Tyler walked in and shut the door behind him, he then turned were Dr Rubin pointed at the seat infront of her desk. Tyler sat down, smiling as if he wasn't in trouble, while Dr Rubin placed her hands on her desk in a stern manner.

"You are here less than a day and already you managed to get in a fight, but that is not the only thing I want to talk about. I called your school to get you record, but they said they never heard of you, so how can you explain that and how you manged to bring 10 students on the ground".

Tyler just smiled as he shook his head, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you". Dr Rubin crossed her arms, "Try me". Tyler leaned back in his seat, "Alright, I'm a super being from another demension here to help Alvin because he also has powers that are out of control, so I am here to help him" he said in a quick pace.

Dr Rubin just shook her head, obviously not buying the story. "Alright, lets see you do something spectacullar" she said, playing along.

Tyler smiled as he raised his hands and set them down on her desk. Dr Rubin eyed his hands in confusion, not knowing what he was doing. Then small pillars of fire errupted from his hands. Dr Rubin's jumped back in terror, thinking a student was bursting into flames infront of her.

She reached down and pulled out a small fire exstinguisher, but before she could pull the trigger, Tyler closed his hands, amking the small pillars disappear. She stared in disbelief as Tyler opened his hands revealing no burns or wounds what so ever.

"What did you say you were again?" she said in a shocked manner. Tyler then explained everything, what he was, and why he was there. Dr Rubin took it all pretty well as Tyler finished. "The fact remains though that you fought 10 students, and hurt them, I'm still going have to expell you".

"Actually" said Tyler leaning forward, "if you talk to the chipmunks, or any other students, they will say I never laid a finger on them, I just dodged and made them hit themselves". She remained silent, thinking over what Tyler said, then looked up, "Well" she said thinking it over, "I will look into it further, in the mean time, you can go back to class".

Tyler stood up, and shook Dr Rubin's hand, "Thank you Dr Rubin". Tyler went for the office door, but before he could exit, Dr Rubin asked him one last thing. "Can you ask the chipmunks something since you are going home with them?".

Tyler turned and looked back at Dr Rubin and leaned against the door frame "Not a problem" he said with a smile. "Next week, there is going to be a concert and a dance, can you ask the chipmunks if they will be willing to play at the concert portion?".

Tyler gave a nod as he pushed himself off the door frame "I'll ask them and let you know tomorrow" he said as he left her office.

Tyler went back to class, were everyone, including Ryan were surprised to see him back, especially with his usual smile on his face. The day ended as normal as the chipmunks were grabing items from their lockers.

Tyler waited at the front of the school for the chipmunks to exit. Tyler could see students pointing and whispering at him, obviously rumors were starting about him. He just ignored it as he saw the chipmunks come out the front door.

Tyler walked over to them as the chipmunks scanned for their ride home. "Where's Iron Hide?" said Alvin as they all looked around. "He's not coming" replied Tyler as he slung his back pack over his shoulders. "I thought we walk home get a little fresh air".

"But it's 2 miles" said Theodore. Tyler then kneeled down and extened his arm, "Then climb on". The chipmunks all looked at each other hesitant, then finally climbed onto Tyler, Simon and Jeanette took the right shoulder, Theodore and Eleanor took the right, while Alvin and Brittany sat on Tyler's head.

Tyler then began to walk for home for, with the chipmunks sitting confortably. "There is never a dull moment anymore with me around huh" said Tyler with a chuckle. "So you aren't expelled" said Jeanette. "No, Dr Rubin is just going to be looking into the matter, she also wanted me to ask you guys something".

Alvin climbed onto the rim of Tyler's cap and looked over the edge so he could see Tyler, "And that was?" he said leaning his head to the side. "She is planning a concert and a dance for the school, and she is wondering if you guys would be willing to sing for the concert portion".

Everyone was silent for a moment, "We don't have anyone to play instraments though" said Britanny quietly. "If you want", said Tyler, "I can play several instraments, as for a band, I can creat the illusion of one so that we have all the right melodies".

Everyone then felt their exitement gather as they all agreed. Then a idea poped into Alvin's head, "How would you also feel about singing with us, you have a great voice, you can sing along with us". Everyone responded with excitment at Alvin's idea, as they all begged for Tyler to join them as Tyler thought it over, then he finally answered with a smile "Why not".
