Tale of Cash
Part 97: ain't no party
" Well, Now that we got the house clean, what should we do?" Simon asked. ' I don't know, but, I'm really bored now." Alvin said. " I got it!' Cash said. The other seven perked up. Cash jumped down the stairs. Katrina slide down the banister, right into her lover's arms, who spun her around and set her right on her feet on the floor. " Well?" Brittany said. " Well, we've go his big house all to ourselves for the next couple hours." cash said. ' And?" Eleanor asked. ' one hint: Ain't no party like a chipmunk party, cause a chipmunk party don't stop." " Hmm, a party. Just the eight of us?" Jeanette said. ' Sure, we got plenty of food and drinks. We'll dance and sing, and I'll bet Alvin, Theodore and I will get into an eating competition where we eat so much we pass out. Tell jokes, just have a grand time. Think of it of a chipmunks only party." " I don't know.." Jeanette said. " Too late, Alvin's already making dips for the nacho chips." Brittany said. " Hang on Alvy, I can make a mean nacho cheese dip." "Well, Simon? Jeanette?" Katrina asked. " Oh, Why not! We all need to cut loose after last night anyways." Simon said. Jeanette nodded. Cash went down stairs. He discovered a secret recording studio. It looked like it wasn't finished yet. ' Wonder when he was going to tell us he was having this built?" cash thought. He found a portable karaoke player and several microphones. He grabbed these things and went up stairs. The party was already going. Simon and Jeanette were playing Guitar hero 2 in the game room. Of course, Simon being the guitar player, Jeanette would be losing. Cash checked. Simon was obviously doing bad so that Jeanette couldn't help but win. Brittany and Alvin were singing to the three doors down song 'it's not my time' on TV. Eleanor and Theodore were in the kitchen, wiping up more snacks. " Need some help with those dear?" Katrina asked. " Yeah, you can take the Microphones." They set up. "Guys, come here!" Cash cried. The kids looked ecstatic to be able to do some karaoke. Cash plugged in a guitar. " Alright guys, ready to sing the newest version of our song?" Cash asked. " You know it!" Alvin shouted. ' Alright Simon?" " Alright!" " Alright, Theodore?" " Alright!' " Alright Alvin? Alvin? ALVIN!!" " Oh yeah!' The sang Christmas don't be late. However, when they got to the second half of the song, Cash put in his own spin. " Want a plane that loops the loop?" The guys sang. Cash stepped in front of Alvin. " Give me! The hula hoop!" He sang. The girls all laughed. Then, the kids all sang 'get you goin''. They kept on going and going. It hit 3:30 and they didn't even notice. " Can you get down with the funk, funk, funk of the chipmunks!" Cash and Alvin sang. " Cripes, it's 3:30, we'd better clean up." Simon said. They all cleaned up. They left no trace of a party. They were sitting on the couches, reading and watching TV. Cash had his headphones out and was listening to the very song he and Alvin were singing a minute ago. He didn't sing out loud, but lip synched to it and tapped his foot. Vinny came walking in. The kids were so absorbed in what they were doing, they didn't notice. Cash began to sing out loud, just as soon as Vinny asked how they were. ' Oh, baby, you know, how we roll." Cash sang. " Oh, whoops, Hi Mom!" He continued. " Hi babies. Hi, girls." " Hi, Mom." The girls said. " Heard you had a werewolf scare?" " Who told you that?" Simon asked. " I did." Dave said as he walked in with Xavier, Ms. Miller and James. " So, what did you do to pass the time?" " Well, we cleaned house." " And had a party. We could hear you down the street." " ooh, busted."
Tale of Cash
Part 98: in the zone
The kids settled down an told them it all. " My! You had a full night and day.' Vinny said." Well, let's get back home." Dave said. ' Right, and thanks for taking care of the house kids." Xavier yelled. " Thanks for letting us steal a few of your beers." Alvin joked. " What!?" Vinny cried. " Just kidding!' Alvin cried. " As they drove off, Vinny shook her head. ' Oh, Alvin, what am I ever going to do with you?" She said to herself. Instead of going back to Ms. Miller's, the girls stayed with Dave. Ms. Miller had some errands to do and wouldn't be back for a few hours. " Well, we'd just be bored at home, at least here, we have our boy friends.' Brittany said. The kids were, of course, watching TV, when the door bell rang. " Welcome back home.' Mr. Talbot said. ' Glad to be back at home base." Cash said. He was the one to answer the door. " Don't think we'll house sit again for a while. Well, you know your welcome over anytime Larry, so come in." Larry and Raya walked in. " We wanted to thank you all for all your help last night.' Raya said. ' No need. Larry's our neighbor, principal, and friend. We were glad to help." Simon said. " well, I made a whole bag full of my family's secret recipe candy.." Raya said. " Well, we'll take that off your hands.' Theodore said, as he and Eleanor grabbed the bag. They tried some. ' It's good!' Theodore said. ' There's plenty for all of you." Larry said. By the time the bag was empty, each of the kids had had 10 pieces of candy. " Larry, Raya, can I make you some tea?" Dave asked. " hey, how come they live next door and get special treatment when they come over, but we live blocks away and we don't get offered tea?" Brittany said ' Because, Brittany, as it seems your marrying my boys, your like family. Well, you always have been, but more so now than ever. And your over so often. Besides, I know the boys take good care of you.' ' Well, that's true. I don't even like tea.' Brittany said. ' Well, would you kids like some coke? Got a whole carton in the fridge. Go get one. I'll make that tea." Dave said. ' Take your time with mine, Dave.' Larry said. " why?" " Because, I want to ask your son something.' " Which one?" "T he only one with a sword." Larry said, pulling the sword out of his cane. Cash cocked an eye brow. He grabbed his sword. " Back yard!' He said. " what's happened between them?" Dave asked. " Larry mentioned about how he'd love a friendly swordfight against Cash sometime. Looks like that time is now.' Eleanor said. The two squared off. " En guard!" Larry said as he got into a traditional English sword fighting stance. Cash slide into his stance. " Hmm, East meets west, eh Cash?" " Hai, Igimasho!' " Alright, let's go." The two trade strikes. They were blocking everything the other threw. This went on for ten minutes. While it was exciting to hear the clang of steel on steel, Brittany didn't see the point in this. " They're not even trying to hit each other!' She said. " That's the point Britt." Eleanor said. " Huh?" " It's just a friendly match, see? Sparing really. The two are just having fun, showing off their skills to someone who is just as well trained as them. Someone just as good or possibly better. It's all about being in the zone and enjoying what your doing. " " I get it now. Like when I'm up against somebody really good during an archery competition, when I'm with the archery club? That feeling of accomplishment when I win and happiness, even though I lost?" " Exactly, that's what it means to enjoy your favorite sport.' Eleanor said. " That's the only way to enjoy it. Wonder when they'll be done?" " Eh, you know how guys are when they show off for their ladies."
