Chapter 3: Trip to Forget
Everyone had since come to their senses. Dave's dad had since come to, but still was having a hard time believing that he was sitting around with six chipmunks who were eating his wife's cookies that she made.
"These are very good Dave's mom." Jeanette stated being as polite as she could.
"Oh you don't have to call that dear, you can me Grandma Janice." She replied politly back.
"Awe, that's such a pretty name." Britney claimed in adore.
"Why thank you, and you very pretty too Miss...uh...forgive me, I've been talking to all of you and I don't even know any of your names." Grandma Janice replied chuckling at her remark. Dave then held her hand to point her finger at each one when he named them.
"Well these three are Eleanor, Jeanette, and Britney..." As the three then waved and said hi to her. "The one right here in blue with glasses is Simon, the one with the "A" is Alvin, and this little one is Theodore." Theodore smiled up to her.
"Hi! Your cookies are yummy! Do you have more?" Theodore said to her, which got her smiling and leaning over to him.
"My my, you certainly have a healthly appitite." She said poking his tummy which made him giggle being ticklish. "Tell you what, would you like to help me make some more?" She asked him.
"Would I?" Theodore then ran up her arm which caught her off guard for a second but she then walked over to the oven and proceeded to continue baking.
"Come on guys, let's go play outside." Alvin said to the rest of them which they all followed as Dave's dad looked them over very cautiously as they ran by.
"Alvin, please stay out of trouble." Dave called out to him.
"Dave? Don't you trust me?" Alvin asked shrugging his shoulders which Dave gave him an uneasy look. "Don't answer that." Alvin followed up and continued on.
"We'll keep an eye on him Dave, we promise." Simon stated which got a nod from Dave and they all went outside to play. Dave was about to walk off when Dave's dad put an arm on his shoulder.
"Junior, you wanna come upstairs to the bedroom? I have something for ya." Dave Sr. asked his son and the two walked off together while Grandma Janice and Theodore were having fun with the rolling pin.
When they were upstairs, Dave's dad opened a drawer that had a wrapped gift as he handed it to his son.
"Wh-what's in it?" Dave asks his dad who just smiling and looking down to it as if to tell him mentally to open it. Dave unwrapped it and it revealed a picture frame with a framed piece of sheet music in with the title "Come On-A My House".
"Awe dad..." Dave said not even sure what to say after it.
"You remember what it is?" His dad quizzed him.
"It's Come On-A My House...it's the first song I ever wrote." Dave answered reliving the memories of his youth.
"Remember how old you were when you wrote it?" He asked again. Dave took closed his eyes and took a big exhale trying to remember.
"Gosh I was like twenty...two, I think." Dave said which got a nod from his dad.
"At the time I wasn't sure what to think, kids at your age at the time wanted to be doctors, lawyers, ball players; But you wanted to be a songwriter. And I could never figure out why."
"I don't know, music was really my first love. Why I can remember us sitting by the radio listening to people and all that great music back in the day." Dave explained remembering his days of yore. The two Dave's then heard noise outside and they looked out the window to see the five chipmunks running around playing tag which put a smile on Dave's face as his dad sighed.
"Ya know Davy when I heard you talking about The Chipmunks, I was expecting something like The Beatles, Chipmunks, not...real Chipmunks." Dave Sr. stated trying to be as honest as he could. Dave understood his dad and always respected his view on everything they talked about.
"I understand how you feel, but honestly, they're the best thing that's ever happened to me. They're just like a family to me." Dave's then patted his son's shoulder.
"I'm glad to hear that. So uh...those little guys can actually sing?" Dave Sr. asked.
"You've never heard them sing?" Dave questioned his dad back.
Meanwhile outside the other five chipmunks still playing tag as Britney was it and the others were trying to avoid her, naturally Britney tried to get Alvin most often just to try and one up him as much as possible. Alvin managed to run into the barn behind the house as Britney then lost him as she stomped her foot in displeasure. Dispite being in great shape, the hot summer sun in California could take a toll on anybody. Alvin leaned on a glass jug that had a clear liquid in as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Boy am I hot. I could sure use something wet right now." Alvin stated as he soon looked behind him to see what he was leaning on. "Alright, water!" Alvin jumped onto the top of the jug and popped off the cork that sealed it and aroma began to emerage out of it that was unlike he had ever smelled before, but not in a good way. "Yuck! Smells awful, but water's water." Alvin grabbed a piece of hollow barn straw and stuck it down to the surface of the liquid and began to drink it up, after about a second of drinking it the look on his face was as if he had just ate mud. "Argh! It tastes worst!"
All the groaning from drinking the water helped Britney find him and tagged him on the back. "Ha! You're it!"
"Hey! No fair! Something happened!" Alvin pleaded his case. Though Britney wasn't buying.
"Excuses, excuses Alvin." Britney answered back as Alvin was panting.
Alvin then waved his arms to declare that he gave up ending the game which surprised Britney as he called the rest of them into the barn.
"I'm exhausted, let's play a different game. A more...still game." Alvin proposed which the rest agreed being most of them were getting tired also.
"What game should we play?" Jeanette questioned.
"How about a little Truth or Dare?" Alvin suggested to his friends which got a "ooh" and "ahh" from the rest as it looks like the game was set.
"Alright deal. Truth or Dare it is. Fire away." Simon accepted as Alvin rubbed his paws together.
"Alright, I'll go first. I choose Eleanor" Alvin pointed to her who was in between her sisters who looked unafraid. "Alright." She answered.
"Truth or Dare."
"Truth." Eleanor responded. Alvin then put a hand under his chin and then snapped his finger and put on a sly look, pointing at her again as he asked the question.
"Do you...love...Theodore?" Alvin asked her point blank. Eleanor grew an uneasy look as her sisters looked on. She hesitated as Alvin eased in. "Well, we're waiting?" Eleanor gulped at the pressure to tell her friends the truth.
"Uh..." Eleanor looked at both her sisters who looked back to show their support.
"Y-Yes...I do." Eleanor answered looking down at the ground which Alvin wasn't exactly expecting. Britney looked down at her sister who looked a tad disappointed.
"Ellie? What's wrong?" Britney asked in concern.
"It's just...now I've told all of you before I've even told him." Eleanor responded looking back in the house where she knew he was.
In the meantime, Theodore was still with Grandma Seville as she was letting him taste the batter when just then Dave and his dad walked into the kitchen.
"Look Dave, I'm helping Grandma make cookies." Theodore called out to Dave.
"Yes and he's such a good helper." Grandma added on.
"That's great. Hey Theodore, would you like to try something?" Dave walked up.
"Sure...what is it?" Theodore agreed as he walked up to Dave.
"Well this here is the first song I ever wrote, and my dad has never heard you sing before. So would you like to sing for him?" Dave asked him as he put him on his shoulder.
Theodore looked at the music and got a little uneasy as he gulped looking over at his grandparents and started to sweat a little. All he could was shake his head.
"I can't Dave." Theodore regretingly said, "I'm just too uncomfortable, I've never sang by myself before." Grandma Seville smiled and walked over to Dave.
"Oh well don't be. I'll sing it with you." Grandma Janice walked over and put Theodore in her lap as they sat on her recliner as the Dave sat on the couch on the other side as Janice held out the sheet music. "Ready to hear how it goes?" Theodore nodded in reply.
Janice: Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you candy.
Theodore: Yum!
Janice: Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you
apple and a plum and an apricot or two,
Theodore: Ah!
Theodore: Come on-a my house, my house come on.
Come on-a my house, my house-a come on.
Both: Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you
figs and dates and grapes and a cake, ah!
Dave and Grandpa claps at the song as Theodore was so proud of himself as he hugged Grandma Janice.
Back outside, the others were still in their game of Truth of Dare as Alvin looks down at himself as he was wearing his shirt around his waist like it was a kilt and he looked up at the others.
"Is this really nessacery?" Alvin moaned over as the others chuckled at him.
"No, but it is funny." Jeanette egged on, as Alvin then gave a mock laugh and proceeded to take it off which they stopped him, "Remember? You have to wear it for the rest of the day." Simon stated which Alvin moaned again. "Anyway it's your turn again Alvin." Alvin was beginning to choose.
"Alright. I choose all of you this time." Alvin ordered, all of them agreed.
"Okay, you have to do everything I do for the next three minutes." Alvin then proceeded to get very atheletic and did a lot of push-ups, hand stands, wall jumps, and sit-ups at rapid pace. After the three minutes, all of them fell to the ground all breathing heavily, but Alvin was the only one laughing.
"Knock it off Alvin! That wasn't fun. I'm exhausted!" Britney yelled out.
"And I'm thristy." Eleanor whined.
Alvin walked over to the jug of nasty tasting water and called the rest of them over.
"Here's some water I found eariler...careful though, it's not the best tasting water." Alvin took another big swig of it and stuck his tounge out at the taste of it. Britney soon followed up and took a big drink also.
"Yuck! That's far from Beverly Hills Spring Water." Britney hopped off holding her tounge to keep herself from gagging, then Eleanor and Jeanette took drinks of it too, both nearly wanting to gag after afterwards also. Simon then hopped up and took a sniff of it and then sipped it up with the hollow barn straw.
"Blah! Disgusting! What is this mess Alvin!" Simon screamed as Alvin started walking further back in the barn and noticed something.
"I don't know, but I'm starting to feel funny Simon." Britney said holding her stomach.
"Uh oh!" Alvin interrepted as the others ran over to glipce at what Alvin sees and it's another jug just like the one they drank from that has a big writen word on it in magic marker. M-O-O-N-S-H-I-N-E. And the they all scream at the look of the word.
"You made us drink moonshine? You idiot!" Britney yelled as she shook Alvin as hard as she could.
"W-What do we do now?" Jeanette worried.
"Well...based on the consumption of Moonshine we consumed, adding to the lack of size we are; we could begin to feel the...effects...real...quickly..." Simon's speech began to get real slurred and all of them began to get very wobblely on their feet, Eleanor started hiccuping and Alvin fell to the ground.
The Sevilles along with Theodore began to walk outside looking for the others when they noticed the barn door.
"That's funny, the barn's open." Dave's dad pointed out. Dave assumed the kids were just playing and looked inside to all of the chipmunks acting funny.
"Alvin?" Dave asked, which got Alvin's attention.
"Hey Dave! We like Moonshine!" Alvin screamed out with his shirt still around his waist as they all started to hobble towards as some of them were hiccuping as Eleanor walked up to Theodore.
"You what!" Dave commandingly question as the parents ran to the back of the barn. Theodore began to follow them, but Eleanor grabbed him by the arm and pulled him in.
"Hi Teddydore, I...like...you!" Eleanor slurred as she hugged him from behind.
"Eleanor? Are you alright?" Theodore worringly asked.
"Never bever Teddydore." As the group ran past Theodore leaving him completely worried.
Grandpa Dave looked at what he saw as the other were right behind. "I thought I got rid of these years ago."
"Don't worry dad, they'll be fine as long as they're still...here?" Dave turned around and saw that the kids were gone.
"Dave! Come quick!" Theodore called out as they ran out as Theodore looked up at what they all saw. The chipmunks were on a very tall Oak Tree branch that looked like it was ready to snap forty feet in the air jumping on it.
"Guys! Get down from there! ALVIN!" The screaming of Dave snapped Alvin out his trance and he noticed where they were and screamed which began to snap the rest out of it too. "ALVIN! Get down from there!" The kids then began to run off the branch as they began to here it snap and Alvin just managed to jump off as the thick branch off and began falling and landed hard on their Grandpa's pickup truck smashing the top as everyone was in shock. All Alvin could do was smile uneasy as everyone on the ground looked over not at Dave, but at Dave's dad.
"ALLLLVVIIIINNNNNNN!" Dave's dad screamed.
Back on the tree, everyone looked very concerned.
"We are dead!" Simon uttered.
There's Chapter 3. Chapter 4 Coming soon...
