Chapter 10- The Revenge of Frankenstein
Monday July 16th, 1990, 7:00am
The digital alarm clock went off in Dave Seville's room. The dark haired man awaken from a rather needed sleep. Last night he basically went cold the second he laid upon his bed as the day before threw him through a loop. Thankfully, everything seemed to sort itself out in the end, no more controversies, him and Ian were on equal terms, and hopefully the days of Alvin and Brittany constantly fighting were coming to an end. Dave stretched his arms and let out a loud sigh, feeling immense relief. But he then felt a lump beside him on the bed. It appeared to be hiding under the covers, so the man pulled them out and saw it was his son Theodore. The small chipmunk seemed to have slept beside him all night, which confused Dave. He shook his son awake, and to his surprise Theodore jumped and let out a little shriek.
"Whoa, sorry to spook you Theodore" Dave spoke, feeling a tad startled "May I ask why you were sleeping in my bed?".
"Oh um… I had a nightmare" Theodore responded. Dave found his son's response a little strange, though Theodore was quite timid, he hadn't needed to sleep with him for years.
"O-okay?" Dave said puzzled "You want to talk about it?".
"No!" Theodore blurted out. Dave gave the chubby teen a strange look, which caused him to sweat a bit. "I-It's a little embarrassing but nothing important" Theodore tried to brush it off.
"You sure?" Dave asked.
"Uh huh" Theodore nodded a little too quickly.
"Alright…" Dave added, still feeling skeptical "Well you better go back to your room, we'll probably be leaving soon. Majestic Movie Studio can get quite pack this time of year". Theodore gulped, he didn't want to return to his room, not with that creature in there. Dave noticed that his son was taking a bit too long to respond "Theodore, are you sure everything's alright?"
"Yes, Dave!" Theodore blurted out again as he rushed out of the room, leaving his father to feel a little worried.
Theodore was panting once he left Dave's room. He couldn't tell his father what he saw last night: An alien threatening Alvin before knocking his brother out and shapeshifting into DJ! Theodore knew Dave wouldn't believe him, and would probably attempt to prove DJ wasn't any harm. But the small teen was scared that DJ would go after him and the rest of his family next if he found out he spotted him. Theodore gulped once more as he slowly crept back to his room. He turned the doorknob slowly and saw everyone was still asleep. He let out a sigh and he tipped toed over to the closet and took out some clothes to change into. He was about to tip toe out, but Dave appeared by the door and flipped the light switch on. "Fellas, it's time to get up" Dave instructed. Simon and DJ then promptly woke up as well. Theodore let out another shriek and ran to the bathroom to change. He then exited out and ran pass Dave. "Theodore, where are you going?" the man asked.
"I'm going to see Eleanor!" Theodore yelled by the stairs "bye!". The little butterball then scurried downstairs and out of the house.
Dave scratched his head for a moment before seeing that Alvin was still asleep. He let out a sigh, seeing that this morning was no different from any other when it came to his red clad son. He then walked over to the slumbering chipmunk "Alvin, I said it's time to get up". His son didn't move. "Alvin…" Dave muttered, starting to feel agitated. Still no movement. "ALVINNN!" Dave let out his iconic yell.
Alvin finally shot up awake and looked around the room frantically. "He's gone!" Alvin exclaimed.
"Who's gone?" Dave asked.
Alvin began to sweat as he quickly thought of an excuse "Oh, never mind, I was dreaming".
Dave raised an eyebrow at the red clad teen for a moment before continuing, "Alvin, enough fooling around. We have to leave in an hour".
"You're absolutely right, Dave!" Alvin proclaimed "In fact, can you give me and the boys some privacy. You need to get ready yourself after all". Before Dave could say anything, Alvin was pushing him out of the room and locking the door. The man just scratched his head again. His sons were acting strange again, which usually meant that they were hiding something. But he didn't feel like looking into it any further, he'll cross that bridge when he comes to it.
"Guys, I'm in serious trouble!" Alvin announced to Simon and DJ, who were still rubbing the sleep out of their eyes.
"When are you not?" Simon remarked.
"No, Simon. This really bad!" Alvin stayed "an alien came into our room last night!".
DJ then remembered what he did last night, and started to act oblivious. "What, really?" DJ acted.
"Yeah, his name was Thanos!" Alvin responded "He was all yellow and had rubbery skin! And he said I broke the space time continuum, and the only way to fix it is for me to ask Brittany out, or he'll melt my brain!".
"Alvin, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard" Simon stated "It was probably just a bad dream".
"Sounds pretty legit to me" DJ said. Simon then gave his nephew a suspicious look.
"Thank you, DJ!" Alvin cried "Simon, it totally happened, it even used a strange glowing device to blast loud robotic noises right into my ear drums!".
"Oh, did he?" Simon said as he turned to DJ with a glare. The maroon clad teen then started to sweat.
"Guys!" Alvin pleaded as he fell to his knees "I'll admit it, you were right! I do have feelings for Brittany! But if this date doesn't go well then I'm space toast. I need your help!"
"No sweat, cuz" DJ answered quite confidently "Me and Si will be the perfect wingmen". He then wrapped his arm around his uncle, who still looked displeased.
"Thank you thank you!" Alvin cheered.
Simon sighed as he gave in "Alright, I'll help Alvin. But let's keep the whole brain melting business between us, okay?"
Alvin nodded "Got it! Alright, I'm going to spice myself up. You two make a plan to get Brittany to fall head over heels for me. Later!". The energetic teen then rushed out of the room.
Once Alvin was gone, Simon turned to his nephew "You wouldn't happen to know about this Thanos, do you? Or are you going to tell me that he's some sort of powerful figure in the future?"
"Nope, never heard of him…" DJ lied under his breath.
"DJ…" Simon mumbled.
"Oh alright, I tricked dad" DJ admitted, "But look at him now, he's more than eager to ask mom out".
"Yeah, because you threatened to melt his brain. The only thing you convinced Alvin is that aliens exist. Didn't I tell you to not rush things?"
"It's fine, Simon" DJ answered nonchalantly.
"DJ, you can't mess with time, or it will mess with you back" Simon exclaimed "You need to stop being so reckless, or you'll suffer the consequences!".
DJ started to take in his uncle's words and couldn't help but feel like he did something wrong, but quickly shook it off. "I know what I'm doing" DJ stated "We're going to help my dad swoon my mom at the theme park and my existence will be secured".
Simon sighed a bit, understanding that there was no going back now "Alright, but that's enough of your insane stunts. Promise you'll keep everything exactly how there are supposed to happen".
"I promise" DJ assured "I'm only making sure my parents get together as they're supposed to. I won't change anything else"
"Good" Simon responded "Now let's get ready ourselves".
Meanwhile on the front porch of the Miller resident, Theodore kept pressing the doorbell by the front door as sweat fell down his head. Eventually Eleanor opened the door, she was wearing an apron and whisking eggs in a bowl. When she saw that her boyfriend was still in one piece, she immediately pulled him into a big hug. "Oh Teddy, thank god you're alright" she cried.
Theodore then began to tear up in her arms "Ellie, you were right. DJ is a shapeshifting alien, I saw him change in front of my eyes!".
Eleanor gasped with horror as she hugged Theodore even tighter, which was unintentionally choking him. "Oh my poor teddy bear" Eleanor wept "Come inside, tell me all about it".
A few minutes later Theodore was sitting in Eleanor's kitchen table as she was baking something in the oven. "So Teddy, tell me more about what you saw last night" Eleanor asked in a warm tone.
"Well I saw a strange yellow figure standing over Alvin's bed" Theodore explained "And pretty much he threatened him to ask Brittany out or he would melt his brain. He then knocked Alvin back to sleep and I saw him change back to DJ".
"How horrible" Eleanor gasped as she took the freshly baked cookies out of the oven "In that case we're all in danger!"
"I know" Theodore cried "What are we going to do?!"
Eleanor then placed the cookies in front of Theodore, he then began to stress eat them. The small chipette then sat next to small chipmunk and stroke the top of his head. "Don't worry, Teddy" the blonde said softly "We won't let that space jerk terrorize our family, right?" Theodore shook his head gently. "Exactly! Now be the brave munk I know you can be and help me save our siblings!". Eleanor then gave Theodore a peck on the cheek, which filled him with absolute bliss. It even calmed him down a bit.
Just then the rest of the Millers entered the kitchen. Brittany was skipping with glee while holding a bunch of dresses. In contrast, Jeanette was slumped over, her hair even being messier than normal. Ms. Miller was also in a good mood as she swayed her hips while humming a tune. The old woman's eyes then fell onto her surprise guest.
"Oh, Theodore!" Ms. Miller happily greeted "Good morning! Not that I mind, but what brings you here so early?". Brittany and Jeanette were also curious why.
"Oh, I invited Theodore over for some cookies" Eleanor answered. Theodore was planning on answering honestly as he usually does but he kept his mouth shut when he saw the chipette lie.
"That's it?" Jeanette questioned.
"What, is it a crime to show your boyfriend affection?" Eleanor reflected.
"Oh, you two started dating?" Ms. Miller sang "Isn't that sweet? Brittany you better treat Alvin right as well for your date today".
"For that last time it isn't a date!" Brittany yelled "He's just repaying me for being a jerk"
"But you do seem quite excited for it" Eleanor teased.
"Of course, I'm looking forward to treating Alvin as my servant" Brittany reflected "By the way Theodore, which dress will Alvin like, I mean, feel jealous over more?". The pink chipette then showed the green chipmunk two identical looking dresses, which confused him.
"The right one" Eleanor blurted "Now leave him alone, he's not a tool for you to get to his brother's heart!". Brittany got pretty flustered but decided to drop it, she then headed upstairs to change.
Ms. Miller began to cook (though rather sloppy) and she couldn't help but notice that her bespectacled daughter seemed pretty down. "Jeanette, you've been more quiet than usual this morning" Ms. Miller noted "Is everything alright?". Jeanette was caught off guard by her mother's question and nearly fell out of her seat.
"Oh, I'm fine" the brunette said softly "A lot of things have been on my mind"
"It wouldn't have to do with Simon, does it?" Eleanor interrogated. The small chipette noticed Simon had been talking to DJ a lot lately.
"I hate to admit this but it does" Jeanette shyly answered while still looking at the ground "I think he's been avoiding me lately. He won't even look at me. Did I do something wrong? Does he hate me for pestering him about his experiment?"
"Don't be silly" Ms. Miller assured "I'm sure he's just nervous around you because you're so darn pretty".
Jeanette began to blush hard madly "Ms. Miller, please don't joke about this"
"Don't worry, Jeanette" Theodore said sympathetically "Simon couldn't hate you. You two are best friends". Though the small chipmunk's comment did cheer up Jeanette a little, she honestly couldn't take the embarrassment any longer.
"S-sorry" the tall chipette muttered "But I think I need some time alone for a bit...". The purple chipette then got up and walked away.
"Boys: always driving girls crazy" Ms. Miller shook her head "Good thing you're not like your brothers, Theodore. You know how to treat Eleanor". Theodore began to blush as Eleanor gave him another hug.
"Sigh, he sure does" the small chipette remarked, which was immediately followed by a realization. "Teddy!" she whispered to Theodore "You're right, Simon would never give Jeanette the cold shoulder. DJ must have him under his control. That means we can't trust him either!".
Theodore gulped once more, he can't even trust his own brother!
Theodore decided to have breakfast with the Millers instead of the rest of the Sevilles, because DJ would be present. Once 8 o'clock came around everyone left their homes as Dave waited by the minivan, which was already on the road. DJ, Alvin, and Simon exited first as they waited for the other teens to arrive. Then Theodore, Ms. Miller, and the chipettes came outside as well.
When Brittany saw Alvin, she couldn't help but light up. She then skipped over to her counterpart. "Morning, Alvin. Ready to do my bidding?" She smirked playfully.
"Of course lady Miller" Alvin bowed. Brittany expected Alvin to give her a snappy comeback, but was surprised to see he was willingly playing along. Alvin then ran to the car door and held it open "After you".
Brittany was kind of enjoying the red chipmunk's politeness "Wow Alvin, keep this up and I might forgive you sooner". Once she entered the car, Alvin sent a wink and a thumbs up to Simon and DJ. DJ was the only one to return it.
Eleanor glared at the supposed alien as she whispered in Theodore's ear "We have to find out what DJ is planning with Alvin and Brittany". Theodore just nodded his head.
This time Jeanette ignored Simon, which didn't go unnoticed by the tall chipmunk, as she entered next. Simon's heart sank a bit as he whispered to DJ "Can you please go next"
"Why?" asked DJ "Don't you want to sit next to Jeanette"
"Please, DJ" Simon whispered some more. DJ rolled his eyes as he, then Simon entered the car. Theodore and Eleanor were last to enter, not wanting to sit any closer to the supposed alien.
"Bye, children!" Ms. Miller waved.
"Bye, Ms. Miller!" the children waved back.
"Alright everyone" Dave announced "fasten your seatbelts. Next stop, Majestic Movie Studios!". The children cheered as the car drove down the road.
The car ride didn't last that long as the theme park actually wasn't that far from where they lived. Dave parked the car relatively close to the theme park and all the teens exited the car. "Alright kids, I'm trusting you all to behave yourselves" Dave stated, "Don't stray far away from one another and make sure to be back at the entrance by 9pm, alright?".
"Yes, Dave" they all said in unison.
"Simon, here's some money for tickets and snacks" Dave then passed the bespectacled chipmunks some cash through the car window "Make sure Alvin doesn't spend it all"
"Hey, when have I ever been bad with money?" Alvin snapped, which he immediately took back "Don't answer that". Brittany chuckled a bit, though not maliciously.
"I have to go home, Ian is actually letting me write a new song for you guys and I want to start right away" Dave explained "see you kids later!". Dave then drove off, leaving the teens to wait online for the theme park.
The line was pretty long, so it was pretty apparent that they would have to wait for a moment to enter the park. Alvin decided to walk over to Simon and DJ, and he whispered "So guys, did you come up with a plan yet?"
"Alvin, just be nice to her" Simon said nonchalantly "There's no need to over complicate it"
"Yeah, I would agree if a freaking alien didn't threaten to melt my brains if I fail!" Alvin snapped "We're going to have to over complicate it!"
DJ started to regret the whole alien gag he pulled. Simon then gave DJ a look that pretty much said "I told you so". "Simon does have a point" DJ remarked "Brittney seems to really dig your new nice attitude. Just do whatever she wants and give her compliments. We'll figure out the big gestures as we move along"
"I see" Alvin nodded "Alright, I'm going to continue with my smooth act with Brittany, I'm counting on you hermano y primo!". The red clad teen then returned to his date.
Jeanette saw the whole ordeal and decided to investigate. "Am I getting this right, cause it looks like you're helping Alvin woo Brittany over" Jeanette states as she approached Simon and DJ.
The blue chipmunk jumped a bit when he heard the chipette's voice as things were kind of awkward between them at the moment. It particularly had to do with the fact that Simon knew what will happen to Jeanette in the future. He knew he had been accidentally ignoring her lately and he wanted to put an end to it now.
"Oh, Jeanette" Simon finally spoke "I forgot to say hello to you. How are you doing". Jeanette was a little annoyed that Simon was acting like nothing happened, so she decided to give him a taste of his own medicine by ignoring him once more. DJ just cringed at the awkwardness between the exchange.
"Yeah, he practically begged us to help him" DJ answered to break the silence.
"Only because someone had the genius idea of posing as an alien and threatening to melt his brain!" Simon sarcastically added.
"What?!" Jeanette cried in disbelief "DJ, why would you go so far to get Alvin and Brittany together?!".
DJ felt nervous for a moment before thinking up a response "Let's just say it would literally kill me if they didn't end up together".
The tall chipette then gave him a strange look, even rolling her eyes crossing her arms. "Are you sure you and Alvin aren't clones of each other" Jeanette sarcastically remarked.
Simon began to laugh pretty hard at the purple clad teen's comment but stopped once she gave him the stink eye.
Jeanette then let out a sigh "Look, I'll help. Brittney won't admit it, but she has been looking forward to this. I'm going to make sure you boys don't mess anything up, the last thing we need is another controversy". Simon and DJ were taken aback by Jeanette's harsh tone towards them, it was quite out of character for her to act in such a way. She's the type that doesn't want to offend anyone, but she was almost acting as sassy as Brittney to the two teens. They just nodded to the tall chipette, who continued to look crossed.
Eventually they reached the front of the line and Simon bought the tickets for anyone. Once they entered, they all looked around in amazement. The park was filled to the brim with rides and landmarks based off famous Majestic Movie properties. They have all been to the park before (especially the Chipmunks, how could they forget?) but it was still exciting as ever to be there. DJ was probably the least excited, half of the reason being that he was more focused on his parents' dates, and the fact that most of his favorite rides haven't been built yet.
"So where do you guys want to go first?" Simon asked.
"Why don't we let Brittany decide" Alvin said quite poised "It is her treat after all".
Brittany then giggled a bit before answering, "Why thank you Alvin, I want to go…"
She then saw a quite familiar looking building "I know, Frankenstein's castle!"
Alvin then gulped once she mentioned where she wanted to go. When he was younger, him and his brothers performed at the park for the whole summer. At first it was great, as they got to go around the park for free. But then the evil Dr. Frankenstein showed up and tried to experiment on them. He even turned him into a monster briefly. Alvin wasn't sure what came of the mad scientist, but since then he never dared to enter the castle again. "Y-you sure you want to go in there?..." Alvin asked nervously.
"What, are you scared?" Brittany teased.
"No!" Alvin reflected "I'm just wondering if you are!".
Brittany then giggled some more "Oh I'm so scared. Why don't you help me persevere through it, oh servant?".
Alvin then sighed "Oh alright…". The pink chipette smirked devilishly as she grabbed his arm and dragged him to the haunted house, while the other followed suit.
Once they entered, the haunting atmosphere immediately kicked it. The place looked like your typical castle from the dark ages, but eerie sounds played and there was smoke all over the floor. Alvin wasn't always scared of the place, but thanks to meeting the real life Dr. Frankenstein here, he couldn't stand it anymore. Brittany could see his legs shaking and smirked "Oh Alvin, will you escort me through this castle. I want to see how a brave munk like you faces danger"
"One minute Brittany" Alvin stammered, then he whispered to Simon and DJ "Guys, What should I do?".
"What's wrong" Simon asked.
"You know how much this place gives me the creeps!" Alvin spat. DJ knew too, as Alvin would continue to be too scared to enter the haunted house in future visits.
"I got an idea" DJ stated "I'll go on ahead and make the scares scarier. That way Brittany will want to be close to you, and she'll see how brave you truly are!"
"I like the way you think, DJ" Alvin complemented "Go for it!"
DJ was about to run ahead when he was grabbed by Simon "DJ, What did I tell you about pulling crazy stunts?!"
"Don't worry" DJ said "This plan will work. I've proven to be the master at scaring, haven't I?". Simon rolled his eyes and he let DJ go.
The two small teens saw the maroon chipmunk run ahead as well and got scared. "Oh no!" Eleanor cried to Theodore "DJ is going to set up traps to get us, we have to stop him!"
"But Ellie!" Theodore argued "Dave said to not split up!"
"Sorry, Teddy" Eleanor stated in a determined tone as she dragged her boyfriend towards DJ's direction "But we can't pull any chances with this foe".
DJ only ran around the corner while Eleanor and Theodore followed suit. The maroon chipmunk stopped once he came across the first scare, which was just a big animatronic spider being lowered down by a string. DJ had to think fast, so he loosen the knot that held the spider, hoping it would go back up and fall right in front of his parents instead. He felt like he didn't have time to see if his plan actually worked, so he ran further ahead to tamper more contraptions.
Once the teen turned the corner, his shorter uncle and aunt were actually the first to arrive. "Where did he go?!" Eleanor said rather aggressively. At that moment the scare was activated again, but thanks to DJ's tampering, the spider fell right on top of Theodore's head, which caused him to scream.
"Ellie, something's got me!" Theodore cried.
"I'll save you, Teddy!" Eleanor yelled as she ran over and swat the spider off, which also knocked Theodore pretty hard. The chubby chipmunk spun a bit, feeling dazed, and grabbed onto the rope that hung the spider. This turned out to be a mistake as the rope pulled him all the way up. Eleanor wasn't looking when this happened, so when she turned around, it seemed like Theodore disappeared. "Teddy!" Eleanor cried "Where are you?!". She then got scared that DJ somehow taken her boyfriend behind her back, so the small chipette rushed on ahead as well.
Next Alvin, Brittany, Simon, and Jeanette arrived. Alvin was trying to act tough while Brittany observed him in amusement. The two tall chipmunks just followed behind in silence. "D-don't worry, Brittany…" Alvin stammered "I've been through this castle countless of times. I recall that the first scare is around here…"
The moment Alvin and Brittany walked under where the spider supposed to fall activated the scare once again, but this time Theodore fell from the ceiling, and hang right in front of them. Alvin yelped, being caught off guard by the sudden surprise.
This caused the pink chipette to laugh uncontrollably "You got scared by your little brother?!". Tears started to fall from the girl's eyes as she laughed some more.
Alvin just grumbled in frustration. "Way to go, Theo" the red chipmunk sarcastically remarked to his brother, who was too dizzy to process anything that happened. Brittany moves on ahead confidently, while Alvin dragged behind.
Simon and Jeanette then ran over to help the small chipmunk down. "Are you alright, Theo?" Jeanette asked. Theodore finally stopped feeling dizzy; he looked around to see where Eleanor was, but was horrified to see she was gone.
"Ellie!" he cried as he ran on ahead to find her, leaving the two bespectacled chipmunks confused.
Meanwhile DJ finally stopped running when he came across the next scare, which was a one way mirror disguised as a normal one, which would light up to reveal a scary pale face on the other side. The maroon clad chipmunk thought how he could change this one when he noticed the mirror was also a secret door. He pushed it open and found a hidden passage for employees. "Perfect!" he thought as he closed the door behind him.
Eleanor then showed up and panted by the mirror. It activated and startled the chipette, causing her to fall. Theodore then came running and found her. "Ellie, are you alright?!" He yelled.
"Teddy!" Eleanor cheered "I thought he got you".
"I thought he got you too" Theodore cried as he helped the blonde onto her feet.
"We've lost sight of DJ" the chipette remarked. The two of them looked around to find him, until they noticed the opening in the wall. Eleanor opened it up and found the secret passage as well. "He probably went this way!" she then grabbed Theodore's shoulder and ran to catch up with their target.
The rest of the teen's came strolling by. Alvin was feeling quite stressed, and worried that he looked like a mess. He went over to the mirror to check himself out but shrieked when he saw the pale face appeared. Brittney laughed even harder as Alvin try to re-adjust himself, feeling quite embarrassed. Simon and Jeanette looked around to see where the others had gone, but scratched their heads when they couldn't find any evidence of them.
DJ walked carefully through the secret passage, it was pretty dark and awkward to navigate. Eventually he entered a room and saw a strange sight: a person in a Sammy Squirrel costume tinkering about in a dusty laboratory. The figure was mixing chemicals and tried to carefully pour it into a beaker, but the gloves of the costume didn't have a strong grip, and the chemicals fell to the floor.
"Die Archmade" Sammy grunted. DJ was caught off guard to hear the strange figure curse, and in German of all languages. DJ tread lightly, not wanting to get caught by the Sammy mascot. He watched as the person inside tried to pry his head off but to not avail. "Curse those chipmunks" the figure inside muttered "it's their fault I'm stuck in this cursed costume. I swear, if I see any of those rodents again, I'll dissect their brains out and replace it with pigeons".
The maroon chipmunk gulped "There is no way he's talking about my family… Who am I kidding, what other chipmunks could he be talking about!"
DJ was almost home free when he accidentally tripped on a crack and made a loud thud. The Sammy mascot turned around and it's empty eyes pierced DJ's heart. "You!" the raspy European voice cried "I mean, hello little chipmunk. It's me, Sammy. Don't you want a balloon?"
DJ crawled back from the approaching squirrel "Stay back!"
"I remember who you are…" the figure said sinisterly "you're that annoying red chipmunk that sings. I'm a big fan, don't you want to shake hands?"
"I'm not Alvin, I'm someone else, I swear!" DJ cried as he was about to be cornered. The teen didn't see where he was going and accidentally bumped into some shelves, which caused a jar to fall on top of the mascot's head, knocking him out. The contents of the jar spilled out onto DJ's hand. He got a closer look and saw he was currently holding a brain. The teen felt like he was going to faint.
At that moment, Theodore and Eleanor spotted him from around the corner. They looked in horror as it they could only interpret the sight. "Oh no!" Theodore cried "He dissected Sammy's brain!". DJ dropped the brain onto the ground as he ran out of the laboratory as fast as he can. The man in the Sammy mascot slowly regained consciousness, but was immediately trampled by the smaller chipmunks, who were chasing after DJ.
Back with the rest of the chipmunks, Alvin jumped out of his skin to every scare while Brittany laughed mockingly. Simon and Jeanette flowed behind quietly, feeling quite bored at this point.
"Where have the other's went" Jeanette asked.
"I have no idea" Simon answered "and I haven't seen Alvin this jumpy since his basketball phase". Jeanette couldn't help but chuckle at Simon's comment, but when she saw he was giving her a friendly smile, she immediately stopped and turned away. This caused the blue chipmunk to look to the ground sadly.
Eventually they spotted the exit to the castle, which made Alvin really happy. "Yes, the exit!" he cheered. Brittany then gave him a teasing smirk. "I mean, I was getting bored of this place. Thank god we're done" Alvin lied.
But when they were about to leave, DJ came yelling from the side and slammed right into the wall. Alvin let out a loud shriek as he hid behind Brittany, who at this point was howling. "DJ!" Alvin yelled at his so called wingman.
"Oh, sorry Alvin…" the boy answered nervously.
Just then Eleanor and Theodore finally caught up. "Ah ha!" Eleanor yelled "I got you now, you…". She stopped herself when she saw the others were present "oh hey guys..". She kept her mouth shut about what the two of them saw, in fear that DJ would get them next. Everyone was too confused to even ask where DJ, Theodore, and Eleanor have been.
"Come on, guys" Brittany announced "I'm bored of this place now, let's do something else". Alvin sighed feeling pretty relieved.
They exited the castle and back onto the sunny boardwalk of the theme park. "Way to go, DJ" Alvin sarcastically remarked.
"I'm sorry, Alvin" DJ responded "I got side tracked by this crazy guy in a Sammy squirrel costume"
"I don't want to hear it" Alvin snapped "Look, I'll give you another chance because I'll admit I blew it with Brittany too. Don't screw up, okay. My life depends on it"
"Mine too" DJ said to himself.
"Alvin, look!" Brittany pointed to a nearby sign "There's a magic show starting soon! Let's go see it!".
"Right away, Britt!" Alvin called as he came over.
DJ sighed in frustration as Simon approached him "Have you learn your lesson yet?".
DJ then shot up and composed himself "Hey, I may have screwed up in the castle, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up! There's still time to save this date!". DJ then marched on ahead. Simon just shook his head. All the teens then started to head for the magic show.
But back at the castle, the Sammy mascot watched overhead. "Those rodents are here" hissed the figure "Now I'll get my revenge on them, if my name isn't doctor Victor Frankenstein!".
The doc is back! And probably really smelly as he's been stuck in that costume for years. A little ironic to write a little Halloween chapter when Christmas time is approaching. Will DJ be able to save his parents' date, or is the ride of his life closing? Find out next time, when the watch the magic show!
