Scaling Down the Fun!
Written by Phantanos. Based on characters from the Alvin and The Chipmunks movie series and Bagdasarian Productions Inc.
Part 11. A Passing..
It has been a month since Alvin and the others had visited Uncle Adam at the incredible Crash-cup Test Lab.
Each member of the group of had experienced some emotional growth from it.
Theodore, can be found awake before the others. Making Belgian waffles from scratch.
He has learned to experiment with new flavors. Surprising everyone at breakfast time with a delicious meal.
After-wards he can be found in the company of Eleanor. Boldly going out for a drive in her VW Rag-top.
At first; Dave was a little scared about letting them go.
Then Uncle Adam explained that each of the vehicles, he gave the Chipmunks, are just like James Bond's..
Equipped with: a GPS, Solar Cells, cellphones, computer guided auto pilot, and a series of defense devises.
Stray cats, dogs, and paparazzi will be in for a shock.
Simon has his own computer tablet.
The touch screen keypad is perfect for his small paws.
It connects to a printer. Making his and the others homework assignments a breeze.
It also becomes a musical keyboard when he gets inspired to play.
The telescope he received was mounted on the roof.
It has it's very own enclosed dome for undisturbed views of the sky.
He and Jeanette often use it to gaze at the universe. Or to share an undisturbed kiss.
Alvin was really happy for the gifts that Uncle Adam gave him.
The jet ski with trailer hitch. The Harmonica, which he practiced with on his free time.
He mastered the scales, but he still was no match for Uncle Adam's rendition of: Ave Maria.
The greatest gift he ever got from his uncle... Was the advice to listen to Brittany and be patient with her.
She's only a year younger than he and his brothers, yet she has proved to be his better half.
Now we come to The Chipettes.
Their new relationships with the boys has raised concerns with Dave.
He isn't against love or marriage. It's what follows.. Babies.
A chipmunk female is capable of having a litter of three in one month.
Multiply that by three and you get too many mouths to feed.
So.. To insure nothing gets out of hand.. Uncle Adam contacted a dear friend of his.
A former USO entertainer named Beatrice Miller.
Her home was conveniently a block away.
She now serves as a den mother to the girls. The Chipettes have even adopted her last name.
The key.. One of the gifts Uncle Adam gave them.
Is to a Victorian style three level dollhouse.
Inside scaled down furniture, a working lights, and a bedroom... That would make any fashion doll green with envy.
The boys are welcome to come and visit after school or on week ends. Just like all normal kids do.
It was on one such day they came back home.. To find Uncle Adam there.. Sitting with cousin Toby.
They both looked sad..
Dave walked into the room and said,"Guys.. Please have a seat..."
"Something wrong?", asked Alvin.
A tearful Dave said," Aunt Jackie.. Toby's grandma.. Died this afternoon.."
Theodore said,"Popcorn Jackie.. Gone..?"
