Chapter 10: The Big Ending
Once again, Ian had been distracted by acting rich. He opened the moon roof. This was our chance at escape! He grabbed a glass of champagne. He filled a big skinny glass and talked to himself about success. Brittany reached her paw through the bars of the cage and opened it up. She hopped out and we followed onto the back of the seat. Eleanor boosted Brittany and I up onto the roof of the car and then jumped out herself. We slid down the back window, and when Ian tuned around he panicked.
Ian came out the top of the hole in the roof, trying to grab us but it was no use. We were thrown pink and white helmets from Alvin and we were supposed to jump for it. Eleanor went straight for it, but I hesitated.
"Jump, Jeanette!" Alvin yelled.
"Well, I-!" Brittany shoved me down onto the motorcycle and then jumped for herself.
"ALVIN!" Ian thrust his fists onto the trunk of the car.
"Hey, Ian, in the words of McDonald's 'you're fired!'"Brittany taunted.
Alvin punched it, sending us speeding down the road. I held on tight, being the one stuck on the back.
"Ian's catching up!" Brittany cried.
"Don't worry I'm getting a little help from my old pal, Digger!" Alvin said.
A gopher came out of a manhole and the limo swerved recklessly to a stop. We drove into a toy store and Alvin said,
"Stick with me, Britt, I'll never steer you wrong!" Just then we drove into pert of the store to a dead end. Alvin did a U-turn and we drove back out.
"Oh yeah, I'll never doubt you again!" Brittany said sarcastically.
Ian ran after us with a R.C. Helicopter on our tails.
"I have a plan!" Alvin yelled, "Jump on the count of three…Three!"
We all jumped onto the helicopter rails. When I looked down, I wished I hadn't.
"I-I'm not so good with heights!" I admitted.
"Hang on, Jeanette!" Eleanor yelled reassuringly.
Somehow, I wasn't so reassured. Ian had a smirk on his face and was pulling the helicopter towards him.
"We have to get that remote!" Eleanor yelled.
"I know what to do! It's hats off to Ian!" Brittany said and we all took our helmets.
We threw the helmets and hit Ian, causing him to fall over.
"The remote!" I yelled. "Ellie, grab my ankles! I'm going for it! Ahhhh!"
I launched myself off the railing and grabbed the remote with Eleanor at my ankles and Brittany at hers. I hung there upside down in surprise. I did it. I caught the remote! Eleanor decided that this was the best time to rebel.
"Ian you were wrong, I don't need these!" Eleanor threw her high heeled shoes at Ian but ended up hitting the motorcycle. The wheels spun out of control and hit Ian…um, let's just say where the sun doesn't shine… We cringed and Eleanor apologized. I maneuvered us to the school, getting a few odd looks from citizens that walked the streets.
Soon we'd reached the school auditorium and the crowd cheered.
"The Chipettes are in the building!" Alvin announced.
"I'm settin' her down!" I cried as I landed the helicopter.
Simon and Theodore approached us and we were high fiving. Alvin lifted his paw and I missed but laughed it off. We gathered as Dr. Ruben announced we'd be performing together.
"This is and honor!" Eleanor said.
"…for you or for us?" Theodore asked.
"For us!" Brittany and Alvin said simultaneously. "Jinx! Double Jinx! Triple Jinx! Quadruple Jinx! Infinity Jinx-!"
"Guys! We get it!" I said. "Huddle up gang!"
We huddled up and got ready and made a plan. Right there, Alvin told us that we could stay at their house as long as we needed to. We thanked him and then danced and sang to 'We Are Family'. In the middle of the song I watched as the boys' dad, Dave, stumbled in the door on crutches. The boys seemed so happy to see him. I knew then that we'd probably be happy with him too.
It was the end of the contest and it was clear we'd won. We then began to sing 'Shake Your Groove Thing' and the Chipmunks talked to Dave and gave us a solo. Dave looked a little stressed and Alvin told everyone, "This one's for Dave! Shake what your mama gave ya!"
It was the perfect evening, spending time with Simon and dancing. What could be better?
Later, we went to our real home. We were all snuggled into bed, and we Chipettes got the Chipmunks' old T-shirts as nightgowns for tonight. Of course, Alvin had to argue with Dave about bed time. Dave walked in and slipped on a skateboard and fell down.
"AAAAALLLVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIINNN !" He screamed.
Alvin turned out the light.
"Goodnight Dave!"
Oh no! It's the end! Just kidding! Jeanette ran out of pages in this diary, so she's getting a new book this winter! Find out what happens between the movies and how the Chipettes' first Christmas and New Year is with the Chipmunks! Coming Soon to...this website! D
