A week has passed since the violent attack on the Chipmunks and Chipettes, as have their week of finding the source of Chase's violent tendencies. For those seven long nights, ideas were bounced back and forth, hatched, discarded, and revised. At last, each of them agreed to six different ideas. They may have seemed like a long shot, but they were all they had.
First off, was Alvin's idea. His idea was to tail Chase, follow him, and see what happens throughout his day. So far, through the first day they came back into school, it seemed to work, until they lost him. As they looked, Alvin noticed Chase's voice coming from the bathroom. He knew that if Chase saw him enter now, they'd be caught. So, through his so called "ingenious criminal mind", Alvin slipped into a nearby trash can, and sneaked in. So far, he wasn't noticed, but he noticed Chase screaming at someone on the other end of a cell phone. Whatever language Chase was screaming in, he didn't like the tone of it. For what felt like minutes, Alvin sat there, just waiting to move. Suddenly, Chase began to move towards Alvin. Alvin ducked low into his trash can disguise, knowing that he's going to regret doing that. And so he was, as Chase began to beat his fist again and again on the lid of Alvin's disguise. For a minute, the beating continued, until at last, Chase left the bathroom. Alvin stayed for a few more minutes, having been knocked out by the continued beating. As Simon and Theodore dragged him out, all Alvin said was "now I know how our drum set feels."
Simon's idea was much more set in the scientific field. While he was still at home, recovering from his wounds, he had more time to spend in his lab and invent. In that time, he has invented a real life truth telling serum. One drop from this serum, and Al Capone would be spilling his guts. More then perfect to figure out why Chase is so evil. Without Chase's notice, Theodore slipped the solution in his soda, hoping it will work. However, when he went to give Chase his drink, as a way to "extend an olive branch" so to speak, he tripped, spilling the soda all over him. Before Chase could attack over his spilt soda, Theodore ran over to get another. There was just one problem, Chase only drinks lemon lime soda, the same soda Simon and Jeanette drink. There were only three lemon lime sodas left: one for Simon, one for Jeanette, and one for Chase. Theodore was in such a frazzled state, he mixed all three drinks together, and emptied the whole vile into the drink. In a rush, Theodore poured the three sodas out, not even knowing what he did. As he went to give Chase his drink, he noticed one very big hitch: Chase was gone. And if that wasn't bad enough: Alvin, Simon, and Jeanette took the drinks. The good news, the effects of the serum are just temporary, a few hours at most. The bad news, they didn't drink the truth telling serum, they drank Simon's "liquid laughter", another invention of his. Anybody who drank so much as a drop of it wouldn't stop laughing for an hour. So, for the rest of the day, Alvin, Simon, and Jeanette would continuously be caught in a uncontrollable laughing fits.
Brittany's idea was a bit controversial to her sisters, but it did two things. Her method got her closer to Chase's trust, and the look on Alvin's jealous face was priceless to her. Brittany flirted with Chase, hoping to get her answers through Chase's new found fascination with girls. So far, it seemed to work, until Chase got too personal to her. Afterwards, Brittany left Chase, rubbing her rear. Eleanor couldn't help but laugh, seeing Brittany so flustered and sore. Then Brittany "tagged" Eleanor, simply grumbling out a "your turn".
Eleanor's idea was fairly simple, and was assured to win. Eleanor challenged Chase to a soccer shoot out, the first to twenty one goals wins. If Chase won, Eleanor has to give him her trophies. If Eleanor wins, they talk, any subject, no subject off limits. The game was a heated match. Eleanor showed amazing skills on the soccer field. Her kicks had the same force as a cannonball, or so Simon hypothesized. Her blocking skills were also great, blocking kick after kick. Too bad all those kicks had the same force of a missile in launch. That day proved to Alvin that Chase wasn't human, if not to everyone else who saw. Chase's kicks were like the firing of a machine gun, relentless and unstoppable. Every kick Eleanor tried to stop proved to be in vain. Not only did the goals rack up, but some of those goals actually had Eleanor attached to them. Seeing her go flying with Chase's kicks may appear comical, but in the end, Eleanor lost each and every one of her sports trophies.
All in all, no one succeeded. Jeanette and Theodore didn't try any schemes to get information, simply because they didn't have any schemes. So, six little chipmunks rode back to home, broken and defeated. However, unbeknownst to any of them, they missed their stops, and ended up in lower Los Angeles. As they looked around their new surroundings, they knew one thing for sure: they're lost. And yet, in all their misfortune for the day, there was a small glimmer of fortune. This was Chase's home town, they had one more chance to get their answers. Their pursuit continues.
