A/N: It's Summer!
For those who can't remember how tight Alvin situation is and don't wanna go back a chapter to read it over (I know this feeling. I hate going back in a story and reading it over to remember what happened!) Anyway, on with the story!

Previously:
Alvin could hardly breathe. Partly because Cookie Chomper's was squishing the life out of him and partly because Cookie Chomper's breath smelled of raw meat and other things dogs of her nature eat.
Alvin laughed nervously. "Nice puppy, nice puppy." he choked.
"Grr!" growled Cookie Chomper, pressing down harder.
"Oh crud," he thought.
Cookie Chomper's mouth was opened wide and it came closer to Alvin. She was getting ready to eat.
"I AM GOING TO DIE!" he panicked to himself.
Alvin shut his eyes and prepared himself to die.
Chapter 7B: An encounter with Cookie Chomper (cont.)
Alvin shut his eyes and prepared himself to die.
"Please just kill me quick!" he prayed silently to himself.
Nothing happened.
Alvin's eyes opened. "Am I dead yet?" he thought.
He wasn't dead. Cookie Chomper was sniffing him suspiciously. Her paw came up a little.
"What?" thought Alvin as he began to breathe normally (or faster than normally. Remember, he thought he was about to die).
Cookie Chomper wasn't pressing hard on him anymore. But now she was licking his face.
"YUCK!" groaned Alvin as the slobber made contact. "Stop!"
But he fell silent when he heard a new voice. An eight-year-old girl came into the kitchen. It was Nikki, of course. Nikki stared at the dog in confusion. From her angle, Cookie Chomper looked like she was licking stuff off the floor.
"CeCe, please stop licking the floor." she said.
The dog panted happily and wagged her tail the barked. Nikki left, not even noticing the slobber-covered Alvin still under Cookie Chomper's paw.
Alvin, seeing Cookie Chomper was preoccupied, managed to wriggle out of her grasp. He shook the slobber off and went to find Simon and Theodore. When he had finally found them (they had hidden in a bag marked "Skittles". Alvin had to admit it was good hiding spot.), he hid with them.
"I think it's safe now," whispered Alvin after a half an hour of silence and dozing off."We should probably get-"
Just then, a muffled little girl's voice said. "Erica, could you get bag of Skittles?"
Alvin's words and heart got stuck in his throat. They didn't taste very good.
"Where are they?" asked the girl named Erica.
"If Uncle Lee didn't eat them, then they should be in the cupboard." said the first girl.
Alvin began to laugh nervously.
"Simon?"
"Yeah?" replied Simon, his voice cracking.
"Still believe in coincidences?"
"Maybe they won't see us," tried Theodore, a little too hopeful.
Next second, all three chipmunks were tumbling out of the bag. They landed hard on the counter and looked around until their eyes met the eyes of two 4-year-old semi- identical twins. The twins stared. The chipmunks stared. They all stared at each other, not moving a muscle. It was the longest moment of all their lives. Nobody moved. They just stared. Finally, Theodore sneezed. The twins both screamed. They screamed was so startling and loud, the chipmunks had to cover their ears.
"Run!" signaled Simon.
Alvin and Theodore didn't need to be told twice. The chipmunks ran.
That's all for now! Review!
