Chapter 13: Laundry Uh-Oh
Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor all slept throughout the night without making a sound; they were exhausted. The next day was Wednesday, and that meant it was cleaning day. The Chipmunks and Chipettes all got up knowing they would be having a busy day. Fortunately for them, Dave let them play outside while he dusted, and vacuumed the house. Once Dave was done, he had the Chipmunks and Chipettes come back inside the house to discuss the chores that they would be doing.
"Okay, here's what we're going to do; Alvin and Brittany you wash and dry the dishes and put them away. Simon, you can help them out with that. Jeanette and Eleanor, you two can put the laundry away once that's been done. Theodore, you can help fold the laundry with me. After your chores are done, you are all free to relax and play for the rest of the day. Now, let's get going!" Dave explained as Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor all went to go do their assigned chores. Alvin, Brittany and Simon were in the kitchen, Jeanette and Eleanor were in the Chipmunks and Chipettes bedroom, and Dave and Theodore were in the basement on a couch folding laundry.
"I didn't know we had a basement. I've only been down here at one time," Theodore said one of his green sweaters Dave nodded and replied: "Well, I've only used the basement for folding or doing laundry. Since the walls are all stone and the floor is carpeted, there's really almost no reason to be down here."
It took a while for the Chipmunks and Chipettes to do their chores. Alvin, Brittany, and Simon were done with the dishes in about an hour to a little more than an hour. After that, they got washed up. Dave and Theodore were almost done with the laundry within that time too. All they had to do was fold up a bed sheet. Dave carried the clean laundry to Jeanette and Eleanor, so that they could put it away. Once Dave was done getting the last load of laundry, he noticed the bed sheet that needed to be folded up.
"Don't worry, Dave. I'll fold up the bed sheet for you," Theodore said considering Dave would probably have to help out Jeanette and Eleanor as well. Dave smiled and replied: "Thank you, Theodore. Just be careful." As soon as Dave left, Theodore got to work folding the bed sheet.
Theodore spend a while folding the bed sheet considering how big it was compared to him. After fifteen to twenty minutes, Theodore had just about finished folding the bed sheet. However, Theodore saw that the bed sheet was still bigger than him when it was folded up. Nevertheless, Theodore decided to try and carry the bed sheet himself. Theodore grabbed the folded up bed sheet and started to walk backwards while holding onto the sheet. However, Theodore forgot that he was on a table when he had been folding the bed sheet, and as he continued to walk backwards, Theodore fell off the table by accident!
"Whoa!" Theodore cried out as he fell off the table and onto the carpet floor. Theodore looked up and saw that the folded up bed sheet was hanging off the side of the table. Theodore went over to the bed sheet, and jumped to grab it. At first, the bed sheet just swayed back and forth, until Theodore jumped a second time. Theodore was able to grab the bed sheet on the second jump, but as he tried to pull the bed sheet down, the folded up sheet was heavier than he thought. Theodore kept pulling, causing the bed sheet to move towards him. With one final pull, Theodore got the bed sheet off of the table and watched as the folded bed sheet landed right on top of him.
"Ahhhh! What's going on?!" Theodore cried out as he got covered in the folded up bed sheet. Theodore tried to get the folded bed sheet off of him, but in doing so, he ended up scurrying around under the sheet while trying to find a way out, and couldn't see anything! Theodore didn't know it yet, but as he was trying to get the bed sheet off, he was causing the bed sheet to unfold and unravel by accident, while trying to find a way out from under the sheet. Soon, the entire bed sheet was no longer folded up, and was spread out with poor Theodore trapped under it.
"Help! Help! I'm stuck! I can't see anything! Dave! Alvin! Simon! Eleanor! Anybody, help me!" Theodore screamed in fright as he struggled getting out of the bed sheet. As Theodore blindingly walked around however, he had no way of knowing where he was going.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Help! Who turned out the lights?! Somebody get me outta here!" Theodore screamed desperately trying to get out of the bed sheet. Poor Theodore kept trying, but the bed sheet refused to come off! Theodore was stuck, and he needed help.
