Scaling Down the Fun!

Part 14. A Rocket-Ty Romance..
Two miles above the picnic grounds...
A pair of interested eyes; hungrily viewed two, little, chubby, figures.
Peculiar little creatures that wore green clothing. This didn't matter much to the peregrine falcon.
It circled around preparing for a dive attack. With the right angle.. It could take both chipmunks with one quick pounce..
It then saw something larger approaching.
A man...
The bird of prey stayed in it's position. Circling.
It seemed that the man isn't interested in eating these little rodents.
So it waits for the man to leave..
At the picnic grounds...
Uncle Adam recounts to Theodore and Eleanor; an earlier event.
They listened as he said,"It was too much for them and I had to put them in the shade.
So.. Kids.. Do you wish to have something to drink? "
The pair nodded and said," Can we have raspberry lemonade?.."
Uncle Adam smiled and said," I'll get you some right now.."
As Uncle Adam walked to the RV , he was paged on his phone. He looked at the text and quickly dashed into the kitchen.
At the counter... He slid open a panel to reveal a monitor. He pressed a button and the one of the R.V.'s roof vents exposed a radar dish.
He eyed the monitor as he called Clyde Crashcup on his blue-tooth.
"I think it would be a good time to demonstrate our new designed water rockets to Simon and his sweetheart.",says Uncle Adam.
In the sky.. The bird of prey saw it's chance..
Circling one more time and then it started to dive.. Soon it would reach it's killing speed of 200 miles an hour.
It's binocular vision locked on the chipmunk pair. One mile is cleared and no sign of the man.
The murderous , black talons are extended...
At half a mile down.. The killer bird realized something was not right.
It saw six white dots converging on it.
Each of them narrowly hitting it and releasing vapors of different colors.
Bewildered and frightened..
The peregrine falcon decided to look elsewhere for a meal.
Down below...
"Impressive.. You used common food coloring for the vapor trail.
Dry Ice to propel these high pressure water rockets.
From your data it shows a speed of 200 miles per hour",said Simon
He and Clyde Crashcup then heard coughing coming from behind them.
It was Jeanette.
She was shivering and sopping wet in Leonardo's hands.
Clyde Crashcup said,"What happened to her?"
Leonardo whispered into his ear. Crashcup's faced frowned.
A concerned Simon asked,"What's wrong with her?!"
Clyde Crashcup then said," One of the rockets failed to leave it's platform.
It discharged all it's compressed cold water vapor at ground level.
Jeanette was drenched by it."
She was placed on the table.
Crashcup then said,"We have to remove the clothing or she will get Hypothermia."
As Leonardo tried to remove the clothes..
He was brushed away by Jeanette.
She shivered and said,"Only S..S..Simon. N...N...No one else!"
Leonardo looked at Crashcup...
Who, in turn said,"Simon.. We have to report this accident.
Here.. Take these warm towels. It's up to you to administer first aid. We will be back latter with hot vegetable soup"
Then the two techs left Simon and Jeanette alone.
Simon could see Jeanette's modesty in not wanting to be disrobed by just anyone.
She wanted him to do it. He gulped and drew a deep breath, as he gently lifted the wet sundress off of her.
"Not the way I hoped for you to see me.. I'm such a clumsy fool!", said a sad Jeanette..
She was staring at the table mat when she heard Simon say,"You are no fool! You are a modest, kind and a beautiful girl."
She smiled at him as he applied the towel to her wet fur.
Fluffing it out to help it dry up. He brushed it down her back along her beautiful stripes.
She couldn't help but to purr.
He then towel dried her glasses. Placing them gently over her beautiful violet eyes.
Simon then grabbed a larger towel and wrapped it around her..
Jeanette was surprised by what happened next.. Simon had removed his hoodie.
His handsome stripes and frame were visible to her.
"Why? Simon..", she asked..
He answered,"Because you trusted me to look at the real you.
I now trust you.. To look at the real me."
Simon then drew Jeanette close and kissed her .
He wrapped the towel around himself and Jeanette.
"This is to help you warm up.. My love.", said Simon.
Jeanette smiled as she nuzzled Simon's chest. He made it official.. She's his fiance..
Alvin and Brittany hurried over to where the pair rested.
They heard Crashcup's explanation to Uncle Adam, about Jeanette's accident..
They were so upset they didn't even bother asking for their clothes.
The two chipmunks peered over the edge of the table. They took in the whole scene..
Alvin and Brittany smiled.. Jeanette was in very good hands.
An R.V. Equipped with radar? Secret panels and computer screens?
Uncle Adam is quite an agent of mystery...
