Chapter 21: How a Bad Day Can Get Worse!
HOURS LATER...
When the chipmunks finally get home, they were still wearing their costumes. They had just got out of the police station from across town after hours of endless questioning. Needless to say the boys are very tired and glad to be home.
"What a nightmare!" Simon cried out as he and his brothers walked back in the house.
"Keep your panties on," Alvin said. "For the most part it turned out alright."
"We nearly got killed when that float lost control!" Simon shouted at Alvin.
"Hee, hee... Oops." Alvin sheepishly chuckled.
"We're just lucky those Officers didn't decide to arrest us for endangering lives. That is the last thing any of us need."
"Yeah." Theodore agreed and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Well, at least we are home, and in one piece now." Alvin commented.
Simon let out a growl and walked up to the hall phone. He noticed that there is a message waiting for him so he pressed the button to hear the message.
"Uh, hi Simon. It's Nathan. I was just wondering if you had anything to do with that Parade this morning? I just happened to be watching it when I saw three Chipmunks that looked so much like you and your brothers. Don't tell me that you were the one in the dress snickers... Anyway, give me a call ok. See you after the weekend."
"Oh great." Simon mutters.
"Gee, if Nathan found out about this Parade I wonder who else could have found out." Theodore gulped, "What if someone at the restaurant I work at found out? I could loose my reputation!" The chubby chipmunk started to panic.
Both Simon and Theodore turned to Alvin. They forced their fists onto their hips, and glared at their trouble-making brother.
"Now fella's. Don't tell me that you didn't have the slightest bit of fun out there today?" Alvin asked.
Theodore and Simon looked at each other in puzzlement. After thinking about for a second, they had to admit that it was fun being in the parade. The two of them started to smile at each other then turned to face Alvin once again.
"Well..." Simon and Theo began to chime.
Just then the door opens and the triplets come running in.
"Yes! I win again!" Vincent shouted.
Mary sticks her head out the door and waves at the person that picked her and her brothers up from Kindergarten.
"Thanks Mrs. Soyer." She shouted out.
Renee's mother honks her horn and drives off knowing now that the kids are safe in the house.
"Hi, ya kids!" Alvin calls out to them.
"Hi Uncle Alvin... Why are you dressed up as a cop?" Mary asks. She momentarily forgets to close the door since she's distracted by what her uncle is wearing.
"Uncle Theodore, um, where did you get the biker outfit?" Tom asks.
Vincent looks over to the chipmunk in the dress and raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
"And who's the chick?" He finally questioned.
"Who are you calling a 'chick'?" Simon bellowed in his normal voice.
Vince, Tom, and Mary stood with their mouths hung open in a shock. Their father was wearing dress, which belong to their mother.
"Dad?" The three of them said in unison.
"Don't ask." Simon said as he held up his hand to signal his children not to go further in wondering what had happened.
"But Dad...your in a dress." Tom stammered.
"Lets just say your Uncle Alvin just has a bad habit of getting into situations that has to include your Uncle Theo and me." Simon tells his son.
All three kids look at each other, unsure of what to say about any of this. They finally shrugs their shoulders and look back up at the grown ups.
"Oooookaaaayyyy." Mary says unsure what else to say.
"You know dad." Vincent starts saying. "I don't know which is more disturbing...you in a dress? ...Or..." Vincent giggled, "You looking good in a dress?"
"That's enough out of you." Simon said. "I have to get out of this dress before your mom sees me." He adds.
"Too late." An angry voice spoke from the doorway.
Simon looked up to see Jeanette with her arms crossed and tapping her foot at the entrance of the front door.
"Ah, hi Jeanette." Simon greeted his wife sheepishly.
"Well, uh, Theodore shall we go and leave these two to talk?" Alvin suggests as he dragged Theodore by the arm and not giving him the chance to answer.
Just as Alvin and Theodore reach the open door, Brittany and Eleanor step inside.
"Where do you think your going?" Brittany said demanded.
"Yeah." Eleanor agreed with her sister, her arms were crossed over her chest.
"Cool. Dad and our uncles are going to get in trouble." Vincent says while rubbing his hands in anticipation.
"Kids, go to your room." Jeanette demanded.
"Aaawww." The triplets whine.
"Why do we have to leave?" Tom asks.
"Yeah, we didn't do anything wrong." Mary adds.
"I know. But mommy might use a few words that might not be suitable for young sensitive ears." Jeanette says as she kept an angry stare at Simon.
"Ah, right." Vincent cringes. He then turns to whisper to Simon. "Good luck, dad."
He and his siblings start running upstairs to their room.
As soon as the door of the triplet's room was heard closing, Jeanette and her sister gave their spouses a hard angry look. In return they got three sheepish looking chipmunks.
"Alright, start talking." Brittany demanded.
"It's Alvin's fault." Both bothers pointed their fingers at Alvin.
"Oh, thanks a lot you guys." Alvin said in a huff.
"Look anytime we are in these types of messes, it's always YOUR fault." Simon pointed out.
"I'm with Simon on this one." Theodore agrees.
"I just can't believe you did this one week before our wedding?" Brittany cried out in disbelief.
"Well, ah..." Alvin stumbled to try and find the right words to say.
"And YOU Theodore...!" Eleanor glared.
"Hey, don't be going in blaming me for all of this. You know me, I just go with the flow." Theodore responds in defense.
"I see. Well, why don't you take 'the flow', and get in the car. We have a lot to discuss on our way back home." Eleanor says in a disapproving tone.
As the two youngest members of the Seville siblings leave the house, Jeanette turns her attention to her husband. She opens her mouth to say something to him, but Simon held up her hand in a 'stop' signal.
"Before you say anything, I would like to get changed into my regular clothes." Simon told her.
"Fine. Why don't we go upstairs, so we can talk about you borrowing my things without asking." Jeanette said while following Simon up the stairs.
Now that Brittany and Alvin are alone in the living room, Alvin finds himself chuckling nervously over his fiancée's angry glares.
"Heh, what can I say? The more things change...the more they stay the same?" He says to her.
Brittany responds with a growl of frustration.
