Darla wore a cleaned up rendition of her movie premiere dress whcih was red with poofy pink sleeves with a pink heart, a red and pink skirt and red shoes. Jessica wore a black dress with a purple necklace. Amber wore a white dress with golden shoes and her hair was up in a bun like she was going to an award show. Even 'Mrs. Seacrest' was there. Tonight was going to be a night that no one was going to forget at all.
"Oh, Theodore, I'm so nervous," Eleanor whimpered. "I can't remember any of my lines!"
"Don't sweat it, they'll be lookin' at me." Theodore smirked as he stood with Nathan.
"Oh, gag," Eleanor was disgusted and through with him. "Did you and Alvin switch bodies?"
"He wishes!" Theodore laughed as Alvin got in his butler costume.
Atticus was also there, but of course, not acting like himself.
"We should've dressed you formally." Forte said as he noticed the audience dressed up for the play.
"Too late now, huh?" Cherry smirked, then found herself in a fluffy pink dress with a matching bow and had nice shoes on. "HEY!"
"Oops." Forte smirked.
"PINK!?" Cherry glared at him for not only putting her in a dress, but also in a demeaning color like pink.
"Ooh, that color totally suits you, Cherry." Atticus said.
Cherry stuck out her tongue at him.
Forte looked ahead as the full moon was showing. "Oh, dear..." he mumbled.
Mr. Rochelle came on stage and a spotlight was on him, it was now time for the play to start and for everyone to go to their places. Atticus just rolled his eyes at Mr. Rochelle, wishing he would get off the stage already.
"Hello! Ladies and gentlemen," Rochelle started. "Madames and Messieurs. On behalf of the drama department... Of Clyde C. Crashcup elementary, I welcome you...To our little play." he introduced the show before the curtains would go up.
Emily checked the time before she turned off her cell phone. "Where is your father?" she whispered under her breath.
Darla looked concerned as she sat next to Amber.
"Dad and Dave went to Mr. Talbot to apologize for me and Alvin." Jessica whispered.
"What's taking them so long?" Emily wondered.
"Prepare to be terrified as we present Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!" Mr. Rochelle finished his introduction, making the curtains rise to show Alvin and Simon in costume, but their underwear shown to the crowd, much to their embarrassment. Theodore had mooned them.
The two chipmunks chuckled sheepishly and walked off.
"That's something that no one will forget." Jessica said.
The play was now starting, the full moon wasn't affecting Atticus and Theodore yet though.
Meanwhile at Mr. Talbot's place, he was now discussing with Dave and Patrick about of how valuable the cane was to him.
"This handle was made from silver bullets, fired at my grandfather and mother from angry villagers," Mr. Talbot looked very sharp and serious as he shook his cane in front of them. "Do you realize this cane is a family heirloom?"
"Umm... What did they do to make them so angry?" Dave asked nervously.
"If you don't mind us asking..." Patrick added, a little scared.
"Not at all... In a few minutes, I shall show you..." Talbot told them gently, but never smiling. The mark of the werewolf then appeared on the palm of his hand.
Dave and Patrick continued to explain.
"Giant Gophers?" Talbot snapped in disbelief.
"Yes, but they may seem normal size for someone as big as you." Patrick said while smiling nervously.
Talbot started to growl a little bit as he was changing due to the full moon as Patrick and Dave tried to calm him down by explaining what happened, then looked panicked. He was no longer a normal man, he was now the wolfman. Dave and Patrick ran out of the door. Talbot's cane was enough to weaken the man a little, but not for long.
"We gotta get to the school and warn the kids!" Dave cried as they ran.
As they both ran to the direction of the school, Talbot came out of his house, howling.
Meanwhile, back at the play...
"Henry..." Eleanor came on stage for her part in the play after Theodore and Atticus had transformed themselves. "Henry, are you here?"
Theodore came to her as a wolf chipmunk monster as he growled and sniffed her.
"Say your line!" Eleanor whispered sharply to him. "You know... 'No, my dear'! Go on!...Theodore, this isn't funny..." she looked cross with him again.
Jessica began to hear growling and began to grow nervous as she looked to her younger brother.
"Atticus, stop it." Emily whispered sharply.
Darla looked over to see her adoptive brother and sister since she was sitting next to her adoptive mother and looked concerned. Alvin came on stage to warn Eleanor that Theodore was a real werewolf.
"Oh, no, not here, not now." Jessica said.
Darla gasped.
"Atticus!" Emily looked angry with her son and gently hit him in the back of his head. "This is unlike you."
"Come along, Cerise, it's time." Forte whispered.
"Coming." Cherry said, but didn't move.
Forte rolled his eyes, he then wiggled his fingers, making her move against her will. Mo was even there to watch the play. Junior clung to Elizabeth and James, Theodore looked so scary to him.
"It's okay, son, it's just make-up, Theodore won't really hurt you." James assured.
"Psst!"
Mo turned her head to see Cherry, gesturing for her to come over. Mo walked over. "What?" she whispered.
"We need to talk," Cherry whispered back to her. "It's about Atticus."
"What about him?" Mo asked quietly.
"He's been acting funny because he's a werewolf, so is Theodore," Cherry explained. "We have to save them or else they'll be stuck that way forever!" she whispered loudly.
Alvin and Simon decided to make things up as they went along for the play, including Alvin in an outfit similiar to Eleanor's character costume. Jeanette even acted as a therapist while Brittany was backstage and checking herself out despite being a tree.
"How in the world did they even become werewolves?" Mo asked quietly.
Cherry sighed. "It's a long story, but we gotta hurry!"
Brittany growled once Atticus and Theodore bumped into her and they growled at her and she chuckled sarcastically. "I'm shaking in my roots." she glared at them.
The two went off, ignoring her now. Brittany kept getting ready, then saw Mr. Talbot's werewolf form and passed out from fright. Mr. Talbot just ignored her and went on his way. Once Brittany came to, she jumped into Simon and Jeanette's scene about how Jekyll's formula splashed onto her too and she could talk, sing, and dance now as a tree.
"Drama Queen." Darla rolled her eyes.
Alvin was now being chased by Atticus and Theodore while Cherry, Mo and Forte got backstage. He then realized that it was Theodore and Atticus. "Wait, Theodore's my little brother, I shouldn't be running away from him and as for Atticus, well, I'll let Jessica handle him." he said, before going to confront the two werewolves.
Theodore snarled in Alvin's face, looking more violent than usual.
"Now, Theodore, stop this at once." Alvin said to his younger brother that was now a werewolf. He then saw Atticus growling right at him and grew nervous and decided to run for his life and hide from them. Alvin tried to escape them.
"How can we get them?" Mo asked in nervousness.
"I know how much you like them, so I won't shoot them... I don't know if there's any other option..." Forte looked grave at the scene as Alvin backed up, but fell down, not on the stage as a rope was holding him up, but a cruise ship set was dropped behind the chipmunks on stage now.
Eleanor then came to Cherry to find out what's going on. "Cherry what's going on with the play? And why has Theodore been acting odd along with Atticus?" The youngest chipette asked.
Cherry knew that she had to tell her of what was going on. "Okay, listen up, cuz I'm tired of telling this to everybody," she groaned a little. "Long story short, Atticus and Theodore are werewolves and we have to get them back to normal or else they'll be stuck that way forever."
"Is that why Theodore's been such a jerk lately?" Eleanor looked like she had tears in her eyes.
"Not just him, Atticus too." Mo added in.
"Yes, unfortunately, this is the biggest step in it, they can't control themselves." Cherry said, a little bored and sad for the girls since they loved Atticus and Theodore.
And where Atticus and Theodore then looked at Eleanor and Mo and began to chase them.
"Bad doggies!" Eleanor cried as she ran across stage with Mo. "Bad doggies!"
"I didn't understand Mo had a part in the play..." James sounded puzzled.
Junior looked over and looked confused to see his sister on stage.
"Bad doggies!" Mo cried. "Bad doggies, down boys!"
"It sounds ridiculous, I know..." Simon chuckled sheepishly after he told Jeanette that his 'formula was so powerful, it split him into two different people'.
"And some of the formula splashed on me, the tree!" Brittany jumped in. "And now, I can talk, and sing!" she started to do little dance moves, hitting Simon and Jeanette in the face by accident.
'This can't be happening.' Jessica thought.
Mo and Eleanor kept running. Mo held Eleanor as they backed up with Theodore and Atticus as it looked like they were about to be viciously killed.
"Guys, don't you know us?" Mo had tears in her eyes.
Atticus and Theodore growled, but Mo's locket and Eleanor's amulet glowed from the stage lights. It made the boys think back to when they gave their girls their trinkets and how happy it made them. Not just the girls, but themselves. They both then found they couldn't hurt the girls they loved, so they backed away and ran off.
"Guys, wait, we can help you!" Eleanor cried.
"That's right!" Mo added.
Theodore and Atticus wandered onto stage then, avoiding the girls and they didn't seem as harmful as before.
"Why, it's your triplet brothers again!" Brittany smiled nervously.
There then came Talbot in wolfman form, pouncing onto the stage and this made the crowd gasp in fear and alarm.
"Momo!" Junior cried with tears in his eyes, he didn't see his sister again, so he was worried something bad must have happened to her.
Mo and Eleanor both screamed out of terror. But then were saved by Atticus and Theodore as they now fought Talbot. The crowd thought this was amazing and part of the show. Emily, Elizabeth, and James seemed unsure about that though.
"Oh, Amber, I can't watch." Darla cupped her face to avoid the fight scene.
Amber held her best friend as Talbot circled Atticus and Theodore. Atticus and Theodore did the same to Talbot and were ready to attack him. The wolf battle raged on, becoming very violent. Cherry bit her lip as she actually clung to Forte for comfort and support for the fight, hoping it would turn out alright.
"Foooorteee..." Cherry sounded nervy.
"It's alright, Cerise..." Forte hugged her, he seemed to turn red in the face slightly as she clutched to him.
"Come on, Atticus and Theodore, you guys can do it!" Jessica cheered.
The fight seemed to last forever. Would it work or would it not? Only the outcome could tell.
"Is it over?" Darla whimpered.
"Darla... Look!" Amber whispered, the pointed.
Darla whimpered again, but removed her hands from her eyes and saw that Atticus, Theodore, and Mr. Talbot were on the floor of the stage now. They were both slowly turning back to their normal selves, thus ending the werewolf spell. The audience was shocked and amazed, never expecting something like this to happen in an elementary school play. The first one of them to wake up was Mr. Talbot. The kids rushed to Theodore to make sure he was okay and Eleanor thanked him for saving her life.
"Oh, Atticus, I'm so sorry..." Mo hugged him with tears in her eyes.
"What happened?" Theodore was confused.
Jeanette blinked at him. "You mean, you don't remember anything about being a werewolf?"
Theodore shook his head.
"Oh, thank goodness, they're all safe now..." Forte sighed in relief.
"Mo, I'm sorry I acted like a beef cake of a jerk, I don't know what came over me." Atticus said, hugging her back.
"It's okay, I know now you couldn't control it," Mo smiled with tears streaming down her face. "I forgive you."
"Uh, okay, time-out," Brittany walked over in annoyance. "I don't understand..."
Forte bent down to her height. "Well, Brittany, you see, Monsieur Talbot bit Theodore and Atticus, turning them into werewolves, but due to the two biting him back, it reversed the process and turned them back to normal... Cerise, don't even think about it, it doesn't work for 'us'."
Cherry groaned as she folded her arms, glaring at him. Alvin then slipped out of the rope and fell to the floor on top of Brittany. Brittany grunted, glaring up at Alvin.
"Hey, you guys are a hit!" Cherry said as she heard applause.
"And I'm missing all of the applause!" Brittany ran out to the center stage.
Alvin joined her.
"Those two are so meant to be." Atticus said.
"Romance is always hidden where you least expect it." Cherry shrugged, adding in.
"Indeed it is..." Forte looked down to her with a smile, but she didn't see it. "Perhaps right under your nose when you realize the person who truly and deeply cares about you was with you all along and you just had to open up your eyes and see them for yourself."
Cherry glanced at him once his smile disappeared. "You need to get laid, Forte..." she murmured inappropriately.
The whole entire audience were still applauding as Brittany and Alvin were now bowing to them, but Brittany hits Alvin with one of her branches, making it look like an accident and causing for him to fall back behind the curtains.
