Hey everyone. Here is chapter 11. I'm sorry that my last chapter was so short. Like I said in my last chapter, I have to work pretty quick. Again thanks to everyone that voted. I really appreciate it. I've also got close to 900 hits which I am thankful of. I didn't expect it to be this popular, but who knows. Well have fun reading and remember to review.
Chapter 11: We've Got Another Problem
Now Alvin was starting to get a little freaked. He had gotten so small that he was about as big as he was when he was a newborn.He had to look straight up to look at Simon and Theodore.
"How did this happen now?" Alvin asked Simon.
"Well I have an idea. How much of that stuff did you drink?"
"I drank a whole cup."
"Well that explains it. You were only suppose to drink half a cup."
"What! Theodore didn't you pay attention to how much Simon wanted?" Alvin said glaring at him
"No. But why did you make enough to fill a whole cup if you didn't want that much." Theodore asked Simon.
"I wanted to have enough to make sure if something like that happened again that I wouldn't have to do all the work again."
Then Dave looked at Alvin and looked at Simon. "What happened this time?"
Simon fielded this one and said, "Well Alvin drank too much of his shrinking formula and shrank too much. You and Theodore were only suppose to give him half a cup and apparently you gave him a full cup."
"Sorry about that. I didn't hear how much was needed and guessed that we needed to use it all."
"That's okay. I should be able to fix him again because I know how to redo the fixture that made him big. I just won't be us as much to make sure he doesn't get too big. It will take me a few more hours though."
"Well that's good. You better get started and you are not allowed to have them down there again." Dave said as he pointed over to Alvin and Theodore.
"Okay, I understand."
Simon then headed off to is lab while Dave, Theodore, and Alvin headed to the kitchen to get breakfast. Today they were having pancakes. Usually Alvin would be able to jump up towards the table himself but today he needed Theodore's help to get him back up. Once he had finally gotten up, Dave had started on the pancakes. He made on full sized one for Theodore and himself while usually he would give each Simon and Alvin half of a normal sized one. This time thought he only gave him about a quarter of a normal sized one putting into consideration Alvin's new size.
Simon meanwhile had gathered everything that he had needed and had started on his solution to Alvin. He kept looking over at his notes from time to time to make sure he had it going right. He would also mumble out loud because for some reason, it always helped him think and get everything precise.
"Okay. Now some of this." He said as he poured in some green substance. Then he poured in some red substance and some white powder. He then looked back at his notes to make sure he was doing everything right. He nodded in satisfaction after having everything right. He then poured the combination of red and green substance and white powder into a beaker of plain water. I put a cork on the combination of chemicals and gave it a small shake. After that he was nearly half way through his notes.
After Theodore and Alvin ate breakfast, they went to go get some sweaters on. Theodore get his green sweater on with ease, but Alvin was a different story. Once he put his red sweater with a big yellow "A", he almost go lost in it. He was standing and the bottom of his sweater had gone all the way down to his feet while his head just barely cleared the top. Because of this, he pulled the collar of it to his neck. His arms also only went about halfway through the arm holes which was pretty annoying. After figuring there is no chance he could deal with that, he decided to just not wear one until Simon had him fixed.
Simon was still in the basement and was making great progress. He of course was wearing a regular lab coat. He had just put a few drops of some blue substance to the rest of everything he combined. The only thing he kept in mind was to use everything in half so Alvin doesn't grow as big again. He continued mumbling as he was nearing completion.
After Alvin and Theodore got dressed. Well Theodore anyway, they decided to watch some T.V while Dave did some business in his office. As they were running over to the couch, Alvin was starting to worry that Theodore would step on him. If Theo really wanted to, he could squash Alvin.
"Make sure not to step on me." Alvin said.
"Why would I do that?" Theodore asked while they continued to walk.
"Because, you're like three times bigger than me. Which I have to admit is kind of weird."
"Well I'm sure Simon is almost done and will have you fixed soon."
"He'd better. I getting tired of being really short or really big. I mean jeez. Can't a chipmunk just have a nice, simple day?"
"Nope." Theodore answered with a giggle.
"Ha ha. Funny." Alvin said rolling his eyes.
They finally got to the couch and this time Alvin was able to climb himself up without the help of Theodore. Theodore grabbed the remote and pushed the power button. The TV turned on and the channel was Animal Planet which Dave would watch occasionally and Theo guessed he did last night. He then channel surfed until he came to the Food Network which Theodore would always watch and he would almost learn something new every time he watched it. The show that was on was about crab cakes which Theodore loved a lot. Alvin was almost the exact opposite. He had no intention of watch anything like that.
"Come on Theodore. Why do we have to watch something like this?" He asked in a whiny voice.
"Because I want to watch this."
Alvin then got up and started jumping up to try to grab it from him, but Theodore was able to lift it above him which was too high for Alvin to get it. Theodore, Alvin, and Simon were thankful what Dave did by getting them a way smaller remote that they could actually carry instead of the huge one that they would even have trouble pushing around. After a few minutes of jumping, Alvin got tired and stopped and just decided to watch that. Theodore was glad too because his arm was starting to get really tired. He then sat down to finish watching the show also.
Simon had to take a little break from his work to get breakfast. He would hear his stomach rumble a few times which was very distracting. So he ran upstairs and grabbed a quick PopTart and headed back downstairs to continue work. He ate it fairly quickly so he could get back to work quicker. After he took his last bite, he continued working as he was chewing it. He poured something else into his beaker and there was a huge explosion. The whole house rumbled and Simon was laying against the wall from the force of the explosion. Then Theodore, Alvin, and Dave came to see what happened.
"Are you alright Simon?" Dave asked a little worried.
"Yeah I'm fine." Simon answered as he got to his feet. His fur had become a mess and had a whole lot of junk in it put he continued. Luckily the experiment had been in perfect shape somehow and he was able to continue as he got to the table again and Dave and Alvin and Theodore left the room. He figured he should have told them that he was almost done and should stay but it crossed his mind.
He was happy he was almost done. He just needed to add the neon and growth hormone. He grabbed the neon and poured half of what he did in the first batch then grabbed the growth hormone. He wasn't sure how much he needed because he never got to measure it. Actually giving it some thought he used only half of the bottle into the concoction. He gave it one final shake and was finally done after a few hours. He grabbed the completed beaker and started to head upstairs.
Alvin and Theodore then decided to play a board game. Or as they would call it a "Bored Game" since they would usually only play it when they were bored. They had gotten all the game pieces out and started playing. They would always have fun because they were small enough where they could stand on the spaces and be the game pieces themselves. They had gotten a few rounds into the game when they heard Simon come in with something purple in his paw which Alvin guessed was his formula.
"I have finally completed it." Simon said in excitement.
"That's great. Now give it to me."
"Hold on. Let's get Dave." Simon said
"I'll get him." Theodore said as he ran off to get Dave.
After a minute of waiting, Alvin and Simon heard Dave coming with Theodore not far behind.
"So is everything ready Simon?" Dave asked.
"Yes Dave. Here Alvin take it." Simon said while handing Alvin the beaker.
He pulled it up to his lips and started to realize something. "Wait. Do I drink it all this time or half?"
"Just drink all of it." Simon answered.
Alvin just shrugged and brought up to his lips, with a struggle since it was a little big, and drank it. He started to feel a little funny and then he shot up.
