Chapter 14-Alvin's Plan
"But Dave," Alvin argued, "we can't just leave!"
"Of course we can," Dave said, "watch."
"But we can't just give up!" Alvin cried in response.
"Give up on what?" Dave asked.
"On our vacation," Alvin replied.
"Alvin," Dave said correctively, "we're not giving up our vacation, we're just gonna stay at a hotel somewhere instead of this house."
"Stay at a hotel?!" Alvin cried, "No ghost is gonna chase me from any house!" Dave sighed.
"Alvin, dear," Ms. Miller said, "we're only trying to protect you."
"From what?" he asked, "Cheyenne's harmless! She doesn't wanna hurt us! She only wanted Carrie!"
"I'm still not staying here!" Brittney shouted, "This is ruining my vacation!"
"Who else agrees that we should stay here?" Alvin asked turning to the other five chipmunks. They all glared at him until Jeanette stepped forward a bit.
"I-I do," Jeanette said timidly.
"Jeanette, why?" Simon asked.
"Alvin's right, we can't just give up!" Jeanette replied, "Besides, why would Cheyenne wanna hurt us? We haven't done anything wrong!"
"Sorry, you two," Dave said, "but no one else is comfortable staying here, and you're certainly not staying here all by yourselves. Now get your stuff ready." Alvin sighed as he reluctantly followed the other five to get their stuff together. As they were packing Jeanette noticed a small mischievous grin on Alvin's face. She knew immediately what that meant.
"I'm guessing that means you have a plan?" she asked. Alvin nodded.
"Yup!" he said cheerfully. She giggled even though she felt slightly uneasy about finding out what it was.
"C'mon kids!" Dave called as he was ready to walk out the front door. All six chipmunks walked out, dragging their suitcases behind them.
They stayed at a Holiday Inn nearby the house. The room they stayed in had one bedroom with two double beds, one bathroom, a small kitchen space, and a living room with a cable TV, a couch that folds out into a bed, a lamp, and a small dining table.
"Well this is a nice little room," Ms. Miller said.
That night, all the kids slept on the foldout bed in the living room, while Dave and Ms. Miller slept in the bedroom.
"Alright, Alvin," Brittney whispered impatiently, "will you tell us your 'plan' already?"
"Okay," Alvin whispered, "we're gonna sneak into the beach house tonight."
"Why would we wanna do that?" Simon asked annoyed.
"To show Cheyenne who the tough ones are," Alvin whispered. Simon sighed.
"That is so stupid, Alvin," Brittney criticized angrily, "you're trying to prove that to someone who's dead."
"So," Alvin sassed, "it'll be cool, right Jeanette?"
"Y-yeah, I guess," Jeanette replied.
"Stop using my sister's timid personality to get what you want!" Brittney snapped at Alvin.
"What?" Alvin said confused, "How am I…"
"He's not, Brittney," Jeanette said in Alvin's defense, "if I disagreed, I'd say so, but for once, I agree with Alvin." Simon still couldn't help but to feel a little jealous. Brittney sighed.
"Fine, I'm in," she said reluctantly.
"I guess I'm in to," Eleanor said.
"I'm in if Ellie's in," Theodore said.
"I'm out," Simon said angrily, "you guys are being so ridiculous."
"Aw, c'mon Simon," Jeanette whined playfully, "pweeasse?" She perked out her lip and gave him the "puppy dog" face. He sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Alright fine," he said reluctantly giving in, "I'm in."
They all tiptoed out of the hotel and made their way toward the beach house, it wasn't more than a mile from the beach house. Theodore clung to Simon the entire time. After about five minutes, they made their way through the front door with an old credit card. They gasped when they saw that Carrie's body was gone!
"W-where'd it go?" Alvin asked nervously.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!" They could hear loud, painful screams coming from the back master bedroom.
