Dr. G : maureen does not own AATC or the song "wherever you are" from poohs most grand adventure
~~
Jeanette miller was looking out the window of the bus. She was on her way home after the summer science fair. Sitting next to her was her science partner and best friend simon seville. They were both the middle children of triplet superstars, the chipmunks and the chipettes. Jeanette sighed as she stared blankly into space. She was 15 going on 16 and she was starting to feel stronger feelings for simon. She had dreams about him every night recently. Some were good, some weird most were bad. Her emotions were conflicting with her mind and it was tearing her apart. She stared out the window untill the bus came to a stop between the pairs houses. She felt the 16 y/o boy touch her sholder.
"jeanette? You commin? theo and ellie are cooking at my house."
jeanette followed simon off the bus and walked to his house where you could smell chiken alfraido, baked potato skins and stuffed peppers.
"someone is in a good mood," jeanette said
"how can you tell?" simon asked
"those are ellies favorites..." jeanette replied
simon and jeanette walked into the house and straight to the kitchen. Eleanor saw jeanette and without a word grabed her wrist and took her out the back door.
"eleanor? What is it?"
"its theo oh jeanette he wants to go out with me isnt this wonderful!"
"oh ellie thats fantastic! Im so happy for you!"
jeanette looked at her little sister and then brittany came outside
"why are you in a good mood?" she asked eleanor.
"Theo asked me out!" ellie screamed
"he what?!"
"I have a date with him on friday!"
brittany went into diva mode "my little sister got a date before me?!" then composing herself "thats great ellie, now if you will excuse me i'm going to have a word with alvin!" brittany left and in a few minutes she was walking back past them with alvin being dragged close behind.
"we will be in the tree house" she said, and alvin mouthed the words 'help me'
ellie and jeanette laughed and went inside to find simon helping theo with the stuffed peppers.
"you may actually learn to cook" eleanor said to simon.
"nah, i cant cook worth my life, but thanks for the compliment."
simon said
then alvin ran inside and hid behind simon. He was followed quickly by brittany, who was looking rather upset.
"alvin seville! How could you?" simon asked
"you dont even know what happened! And i couldnt if she would let me finish before throwing things at me!"
"what happened?" asked jeanette.
"If it came down to it he would let me leave because he hates me because he thinks i'm ugly!" brittany cried "he doesnt even want me around!"
"if brittany would have let me finish, she would have heard the rest. I dont think she is pritty, i know she is gorgeous, i dont want her to stay i need her desperatly to stay, i wouldnt cry if she left i would die if she left. And if she would have listened i dont like her! I love her wholeheartedly and i would do anything to protect her because she is my life!" alvin said
all were dumbfounded and brittany ran to him."oh alvin, im so sorry" she cried into his chest.
"its ok im used to you throwing things at me... One of these days you might actually hit me" alvin teased
this was not the smartest thing to say... In two swift moves she took his hat, hit his chest, and ran away as fast as possible...
The girls went home after dinner and after a few hours they all went to bed, they now had seperate rooms as they were teens and brittany took a lot of closet space. But jeanette couldnt sleep. She was afraid she would have another nightmare. She needed them to stop, but she didnt know how. Suddenly she saw an exceptionally bright star. She closed her eyes tight.
"please please please let things work out" she repeated this untill she fell asleep.
That night she dreamed that she and simon laughing and smiling together when suddenly something happened and he was pushing her away. She didnt know why he was just telling her to leave to go away and he was pushing her off the edge of a high hill. She was falling off!
Screaming, she landed on her bedroom floor causing her sisters and miss miller to rush into her room. They found her on the floor leaning against her nightstand holding the back of her head crying.
"jeanette hunny whats wrong?" miss miller asked
"i hit my head..."
"oh my poor little darling" she gathered jeanette in a hug
"im ok... It's just a bump" jeanette said
miss miller was a bit skeptical, of the 3 girls jeanette had never been overemotional "are you sure theres nothing else?" Miss miller asked
"yes ma'am," jeanette said, she didnt want miss miller to worry.
"ok dear if your sure."
"i am miss miller,"
"we'll take it from here" ellie said to miss miller
"alright then good night dears,"
"good night miss miller" they said in unison. As soon as miss miller was out of the room eleanor turned to jeanette "you had another nightmare again didnt you?" jeanette nodded and "Jeanette thats the 6th time this week, and its only tuesday! you have to talk to someone about this!"
"i cant tell miss miller and i cant tell you guys what was in them"
"why not tell simon, he is a very good listener especially to you" brittany said inocently
"are you crazy? He cant know about this!" jeanette shouted
"calm down jeanette, it's just a suggestion" brittany responded
"sorry... But i just cant tell simon..."
"why not? Chances are he knows something is up with you and chances are he is going to ask you sooner or later... And i vote bed sooner." brittany said leaving
"we can talk in the morning" eleanor said following brittany
jeanette looked at her clock then her phone buzzed. It was always on vibrate, she only went to school and the library and it was always with her, so she saw no point to let it make a noise.
"hello?" she answered
"i knew you were awake..." came the one voice she always loved to hear.
"how in the world do you know at 4 am im awake from 2 blocks away?"
"i dont know i just kinda knew... That and i heard you scream again..." simon said.
She had forgotten that. Simon had always had great hearing. He is blind without his glasses and one time alvin took his glasses and they broke, so for about 3 months his hearing had to make up the difference so that he didnt get hurt.
"what happened? Fall out of bed again?"
"yeah..." she said
"but there is more to it than that. Jeanette whats going on?" simon asked
"i cant tell you..."
"why not?"
"its too horrible and it would cause serious depletion in the level of our friendship."
"jeanette, the only thing that our friendship can do is increase. Any depletion of friendship is improbible and very unlikely. You can tell me anything"
"promise you wont freak out?"
she heard the phone click off and something hit her window. Then again and again. She went to it and looked out. in the tree by her room was simon
"i promise" he said
"what are you doing here?" she laughed.
"i left a note for dave in case i dont get back before he wakes up. I have a nosy brother, so this conversation would be better in person."
she sat on the window seat and leaned against the wall.
"oh oh oh n~n~n~no, n~no~not with m~m~me... S~s~si~simon, i~i j~j~just ddont kn~"
"jeanette it's me, simon, im your best friend, i wont judge you, i wont condem you, and i wont freak out. Genius honor"
jeanette melted at his smile.
"ok well i have been having nightmares and strange dreams, i just cant get them out of my head" she waited for a response
"there isnt anything to be ashamed of, i have nightmares too,"
Simon took her hand in his, "what were they about" he asked
"oh, oh, simon, oh, i i"
"jeanette, its ok,you can trust me,"
"they were about um ..." Then she wispered something
"what?" he asked,
"you" she said
"me?" he had never seen her like this
"Some of them are nice ones like about winning at the science fairs, but most are not so nice. The one i had tonight you pushed me off a large hill after, lastnight i dreamed we were just as we are now and then i got really angry and i pushed you causing you to fall out of the tree, and before that i dreamed that you and i ~~" she pulled away but simon still had her hand
"we what? What did we do in your dream?" he asked
"it cant ever work that way, things like that just dont happen to me" she pulled her hand away causing him to be unstable and nearly fall out of the tree. Thankfully he had quick reflexes. He grabed the branch above and planted his feet on the branch below him. He saw jeanette run away crying "jeanette!"he climbed in through the window
"jeanette wait!"
being jeanette, she tripped over her own bunny slippers, she fell to the ground. She buried her face in her hands.
Simon ran over to her "are you hurt?" when she said nothing he picked her up off the ground. He took her to her bed and knelt down next to her
"its okay jeanette, you can tell me, did you twist your ankle?"
"i dont know" jeanette said. She was feeling so ashamed that simon saw her like that
"well where does it hurt?"
"my hip my head and my heart"
"Whats wrong with your heart?"
"it just hurts ok? Cant someones heart hurt without being interigated"
"well not really no, it happens to be a vital organ, and if it hurts you need to tell someone how it hurts to makesure that you are ok."
"it doesnt hurt like that, it hurts differently"
"is it emotional?"
"im very tired simon, can we talk about this later when we have had some sleep? Besides you need to get home before your brothers wake up, and you cant be here when my sisters wake up,"
"will you be alright?"
"yes, i think so,"
simon moved to the window
"ill come back when everyone is up. Dont worry i'll be here to help you through whatever it is you're going through." he said slipping out and running off to his house.
When he got home 5 minutes later he slipped in through the kitchen attempting silence so as not to wake dave but he was already up.
"so how is she?"
"who?"
"jeanette, thats where your run took you isnt it?"
"oh um"
"simon, i know you pretty well, you dont just go out on runs at random times at random time lengths without reason," when simon stayed quiet dave continued "jeanette is the only person outside this house that you would risk getting in trouble for, now tell me whats going on"
"i cant tell you whats going on, i genius honored, but i can tell you something is up with her, she is becoming emotionally unstable if she supresses it any longer, she could do something illogical and unexpected." simon said
At the miller house jeanette had gotten a bag packed and was leaving. She left a note on her night stand for simon and she put her phone and charger in her bag. She double checked to make sure she had everything then she left the house
"dave somethings wrong" simon said
"what do you mean?"
"someone just left the miller house"
"it was probly miss miller,"
"i can still hear her snoring, so no it isnt her" simon said and with that he got up and went out the sliding kitchen door followed by dave. They got to the millers backyard and simon climbed the tree that led up to jeanettes window. She wasnt there. But her window was still open. Dave climbed a few brances.
"jeanette is gone, her window is open, i'm gunna go investigate. She might have just gone to the store or something"
"simon, dont" dave said but simon was already in. So dave got down and went to the front door. With the spare key he let himself in and whent upstairs to jeanettes room to find simon sitting against the nightstand holding a lavender paper. Without a word dave went over and knelt next to simon. He only got through the first line before simon stood up and exited through the window. Dave shook his head and exited the room himself, going downstairs to make coffee for miss miller. She would need it when she heard what happened.
After leaving jeanettes room simon called his brothers and told them to get over here because their girlfriends were crying. Then he called eleanor
"hello?" came her groggy voice
"jeanette ran away" simon said
"what?"
"jeanette, she has run away get brittany and come outside, theo and alvin will be here in 2 minutes"
"oh dear! Simon why would she run away?"
"i dont know eleanor."
a minute later brittany was downstairs with eleanor listening to simon explain what had happened since they had gone to bed, leaving out the dialog ofcourse. Alvin and theodor got there just when their respective girlfriends began to cry. Simon watched for a moment then went inside to see dave with miss miller crying on his sholder. Simon walked up the stairs and into jeanettes room. He took out his phone and looked at thw picture he had of them together.
Her phone! She always had her phone! So he called it.
Jeanette heard her phone buzz so she got it out of her bag. It was simon. As much as she wanted to answer it she knew she couldnt without letting him know she had run away, if he didnt already know. She put the phone back and kept on running.
Simon didnt hear the buzz of jeanettes phone and he couldnt find her charger. This meant she had taken it with her. He ran down stairs to the kitchen.
"i will be back by dinner," he said running out the door
"where are you going?" dave asked
"to find jeanette" he called back
"Simon! SIMON WAIT! COME BACK!" dave called, but it was useless.
Simon continued to call her listening for the buzz that would tell him he was getting close. He finally heard it at around 8 pm but it went away again. Then his phone rang.
"jeanette!" "simon its time to come home"
"dave! Come on one more hour! Please, i have to find her,"
"im sorry i cant have both of you gone."
"but dave she is probly lost and alone. She needs me! What if something happens to her and i'm not there to protect her?"
"simon even if you are there if you are not at your best it wont do anybody any good. simon you need to come home"
"fine, ill be there in..." suddenly he heard jeanette's tripping scream "ill call you back" and he ran as fast as he could to where the sound was. No jeanette, but blood and her hair ribbon. He called dave
"at eckhart park, have theo get the lavender blue box under my bed. Hurry!" simon hung up the phone and knelt close to the ground. He estimated her movements and found it to be a knee wound. She would be slowed down tremendusly with bexause of her leg and judging by the large red stain, she would have considerable blood loss. She would have to stop somewhere. Theo and dave got there and simon opened the box. He tookout a cyringe and a few little test tubes and filled them with some of the blood on the pavement. He saw the trail of blood leading into the park.
He took out his phone.
"hello?" came the voice on the other end
"hey momma, there is a friend of mine coming toward your house, she is bleeding and probly needs a place to stay. She ran away this morning and tripped a short time ago."
"i dont see her yet" vinny answered "but i'll go look. What do i do when i find her?"
"take care of her momma,"
"why did she run away?" she asked
"i dont know. She is only 15 and 3/4."
"she is probly getting confused about her emotions"
"no, not jeanette, she is the most level headed girl i know." suddenly thunder rolled and it began to rain. "momma you have to find her, please."
vinny had never heard so much emotion from her middle child, she knew he must be out there searching for his friend.
"alright sweetheart, now get home its started raining, i will call you when i find her"
"thanks momma" simon said
"i love you sweetie, get some rest"
"ok momma love you too bye" simon hung up the phone and closed the box again. He looked at the entrence to the park.
"come on simon lets go home." dave said "Jeanette will be ok, miss vinny will find her and take care of her."
"mom's good at those things" theodore said. Simon sighed and got in the car.
Jeanette was out in the woods a very long time. She was hurt very badly and knew she needed help. She pulled out her cell phone and tried to call the same person she was running from, Simon. Unfortunatly her phone died befor she could finish dialing. She was out there in the dark, alone, empty and cold. Her heart was breaking because she was totally lost and she didnt have her best friend there to help her. She needed him to find her. But she didnt even know if he was looking.
Simon didnt say anything when they got to the millers house. he just went up to jeanettes room and sat on the window seat where he had last seen her. He pulled her bloodstained ribbon out of his pocket and wrapped it around his left wrist, then he read over her note again. There was a knock at the doorframe. It was alvin...
"simon talk to me. Brother to brother. Whats going on?"
"jeanette is hurt very badly. She left because she was afraid she and i wouldnt be friends any more after she and i talked this morning. Alvin this is all my fault."
"simon she's the one who chose to run away, you didnt make her go."
"But i wasnt in time to stop her from leaving, i should have stayed with her, let her sisters find me in here with her, let miss miller beat me with an umbrella for all i care. It would have kept jeanette safe" simon said begining to tear up.
"simon stop blaming yourself, it wont get her back. The only thing you can do is eat, sleep and wait for mom to call, come on dinner is ready"
"i'll be down in a minute,"
"alright," alvin said leaving
"hey alvin?"
"yeah si?"
"thanks for you know being my big brother and all."
"those 5 minutes make all the difference" alvin said and he left going down to the kitchen.
"oh jeanette im so sorry," he looked over to her desk where they had studied many times. Just for a moment he heard her voice, her laugh, her footsteps. He thought he saw her for a moment. Then his phone buzzed.
"hello!" he said excitedly.
"simon, hunny Its momma. i think i found her. she does not look well."
"what is the damage?"
"her knee is busted open she attempted to cover it with one of her shirt sleeves. She is limping, the poor girl has probly fallen 20 times today, her glasses look broken, and she is covered in muk"
"well dont tell her who you are she may try to run."
"are you sure? I thought you said she was level headed?"
"she is, but she is also very logical. She is running from me, if she knows you are my mother she will run from you too."
"alright sweetie, i will call you in the morning"
"ok bye momma" simon said and he closed his phone. Heaving a heavy sigh he pulled his knees in close to him. He thought he heard her laugh again and he looked arround the room. Nothing. He looked out the window at the clouds. He saw her in the moon her bright blueviolet eyes looking at him. He couldnt take it so he closed his eyes. He saw here sitting on the window seat and smiling at him as she had many knights before when she was really there. He couldnt take it any more and the tears began to fall. He fell asleep crying.
Miss vinny got jeanette into bed then she called dave.
"hello?"
"hi dave its vinny, is he doing ok?"
"yeah he cried himself to sleep about an hour ago on the window seat in jeanettes room."
"my poor baby, did he atleast eat something?"
"no, but he will in the morning. Is jeanette alright?" suddenly there was a thud from upstairs followed by an 'ouch'. "hang on a minute vinny, i think simon just fell to the floor" dave took the phone with him as he climbed the stairs to the second room to the right. The door was open and when he turned the light on he saw simon searching the floor hopelessly for his glasses which alvin had placed on the bookshelf next to the window so that they wouldnt break. Dave went over to simon and helped him up and over to jeanettes bed. The boy had been through so much already, dave knew it would be alright. Simon went right back to sleep, holding jeanettes pillow close to him. Dave smiled and left the room turning the light back off.
"ok vinny, go ahead"
"she has a fractured ankle, she has a bruise on her hip, a large gash in her knee, her glasses broke, so i dont know how well her vision will be, she was scared to death when i came along but she was too weak to object. She falls down a lot, but that could be due to her fractured ankle."
"no she is usually like that" dave said
"well any way i got her cleaned up and her left arm had a few scratches, probly from the trees, She had tried to bandage her knee with one of her sleeves. She cried herself to sleep too, holding the pillow simon uses when he is here"
"does she know who you are?"
"i dont think so, but i dont really know for sure..."
they talked for a while longer then decided they would both head to bed. Dave walked into the livingroom to see his youngest on the sofa. He smiled at this but then wondered about his oldest. Alvin was notorious for being where he shouldnt be. Dave immediatly went to the stairwell and climbed it, he got to the top and saw all the doors were open except miss miller's. He went to brittany's room first. Alvin wasnt in there, he wasnt in eleanors room or the spare room. He didnt bother to check miss millers room all things considered. Alvin only stands miss miller for brittanys sake. So dave looked downstairs not checking jeanettes room. When he couldnt find alvin downstairs, dave called alvins phone and heard it ring upstairs. He followed the soft sound to jeanettes room. And wouldnt you know it alvin was on the floor at the end of her bed. Simon had somehow managed to flip himself so that his head was at the foot of the bed and his hand had fallen off the side of it. Dave visually followed simons arm down and saw that simons left hand was resting gently in the palm of alvins right.
Dave couldnt help but smile at the brothers, for it seemed in times of crisis big or small alvin and simon would grow closer together. Alvin had a major crisis atleast once a month. Theodore didnt have them quite as often nor at such extreams. In 16 years this was simons first and it was bigger than all of alvin and theodors put together. Dave picked up alvins cap and set it next to simons glasses then left for the spare bedroom.
It wasnt very long before 2 screams one right after the other came from jeanettes room. Everyone rushed in to see what was the matter. Simon was sitting up in the bed and alvin was standing next to him.
"what happened simon?"
"jeanette?" simon looked around the room blindly "where is jeanette?"
"she's at moms remember?" alvin said getting simon his glasses.
"simon your shaking like a leaf dear whats the matter?" miss miller asked
"i um i had a bad dream" simon answered feeling very silly "jeanette she was here then someone took her and held her for ransom. It was terrible. She was crying and calling out to me but i couldnt get to her then she was getting further and further away untill she disappeared... Then i woke up."
"there isnt anything to worry about simon" said brittany
"Yeah miss vinny is very good at taking care of people" eleanor added.
"go back to sleep simon, we will get up in a few hours and go right to vinny's house." dave promised.
Simon nodded and everyone left except alvin. Simon laid back down and handed alvin his glasses. Alvin put them back next to his own hat and alvin layed down again on the floor.
"what do you think about when you close your eyes?" simon asked
"now or normally?"
"both"
"normally? Brittany. Now? helping you find your girl."
"she isnt my girl. Shes my best friend."
"but she could be your girl, if you let her be. Thats why she left isnt it? Because she didnt know how you would react to her feeling more for you than friendship. She loves you simon, now its your turn to decide if you return those feelings." alvin concluded
"how do i do that?"
"thats up to you to decide... I guess what do you think about when you wake up on a normal day?"
"Jeanette"
"what do you fall asleep thinking about?"
"Jeanette..."
"i already know who you dream of, you still talk in your sleep."
"shut up alvin..."
"lighten up only half the school knows"
"what?!"
"i'm kidding! Now get some sleep."
simon fell asleep after a while and dreamed of jeanette. They were laughing over some sience joke simon had come up with. He felt her hand in his. They were in the tree house.
"simon,"
"yes jeanette?"
"i, um i made you a bracelet. Its a physics bracelet. I didnt know what color to make so whichever one you dont take i keep" She held out 2 bracelets one lavender one royal blue. Simon put on the lavender one saying "this way i wont be all blue all the time."
jeanette smiled and sliped the blue one on her wrist pulling it tight and tucking the end in. "i will always have you here with me" she said pointing to her heart. "always"
the night passed faster then simon had anticipated, for it was morning and he lost jeanette again to the sound of alvins voice.
"simon! Simon! Wake up! Jeanette left moms house!"
"where did she go? Did she leave anything? How did she get out without momma hearing her?" simon was very flustered
he ran out of the bedroom and down the stairs right into dave.
"where do you think you are going? You need to eat something."
"but dave!"
"no buts go into the kitchen theodore is making you an omlet. Go on get in there."
simon reluctantly went into the kitchen. Suddenly he had an idea.
"here you go simon," theodore said putting a plate in front of simon.
"Hey theo can i get this to go? I want to get a head start this morning. You think you can make me something to take with me for lunch with jeanette too?"
"alvin already has that covered there is a backpack in the icebox for you."
"why that sneaky snake..." simon mumbled then he turned to his little brother "thanks theo i will see you later when i have jeanette."
"bye si" theodore said as he watched simon run out the back door with the bag.
"Theodore! You were supposed to make sure he ate something!" Dave said when he came in to find simon not there and his omlet cold.
"alvin said it would be ok if simon took something with him so we made him up a backpack last night."
"AAALLLLVVIIIIIINNN!"
simon almost turned back at this but contiued to his mothers house.
jeanette was limping through the woods. She had not gotten any sleep the night before, so she got up early that morning and left the ladys house she wasnt sure who the lady was but she was sure they had met before. She didnt want to overstay so jeanette left some money from her purse on the table with a note saying thank you for your kindness. She had been gone a little over 3 hours from the lady's house when she couldnt stand any more. She fell to the ground. she could barely walk when she left the house. She thought she was almost out of the woods... She couldnt really tell her glasses were broken and her spare pair were at home. She moved herself over to a nearby rock and leaned her head against it she was about to fall asleep when she thought she saw a faint figure aproaching.
the figure ran over to her and removed her broken glasses replacing them with her spare ones.
"it's you, but i didnt think you were even looking" she wispered, her eyes closing gently. She felt her glasses being removed and herself being picked up. Then she was out.
Simon carried her out of the woods, but he didnt get very far before he was having trouble carrying her. He was not feeling well... He went over to a conveiniently placed park bench and set jeanette down on it. Then he pressed and held the number one on his key pad. It rang twice and he passed out just as it was answered
"simon! Did you find her?" alvin asked "simon? Simon! Simon answer me! SIMON!"
"hello?" came a strange mans voice
"hello? who is this?"
"this is Dr. G who is this?"
"my name is alvin seville! What are you doing with simons phone?"
"there isnt any time to explain meet me at the hospital on 5th and Van Buren." and the call disconnected.
~20 minutes later~
alvin got to the hospital with dave and the others. They found a gentleman with blond hair and dark sunglasses waiting for them in the hospital lobby.
"Mr. Seville?" it was simons math teacher.
"what did you do with my little brother?!" alvin interupted
"i brought him here. You must be alvin" the teacher said
"Dr. Gildner, what happened?" dave asked
"i was out for my morning ride when i saw one of my best students fall to the ground. Thats when his cell phone made a noise and i spoke with alvin. Then i brought them here. The doctors should be out soon."
miss miller, dave and Dr. G sat and talked while the teens paced in turns.
"What is happening in there?" theodore asked looking over at the doors.
"we dont know theo" eleanor replied.
"well if you ask me the doctor had better be out here soon!"
sure enough the doctor came out 5 minutes later. Dave stood and headed over but alvin and brittany beat him to it.
"where is my brother?"
"is jeanette alright?"
they are both fine they are in room 168 they have had a rough few days. You may return tommorrow and visit with them"
~in room 168~
jeanette opened her eyes. She felt something in her left hand. It was her glasses. She put them on and looked around. She was in a hospital bed and to her right was simon in the next bed over. He had his glasses on and was looking at her. She only breifly melted in his steel blue eyes before she realized what had happened and she tried to leave. As she did she felt something on her right wrist. She and simon were tied together by her bloodstained lavender ribbon. She went to untie it.
"dont even think about it" simon said "i refuse to lose you again. You and i belong together, we were made for eachother."
"but si"
"no jeanette we belong together no ands ifs or buts." he sat up and leaned over. "and we will be together. Even when we are apart. I love you jeanette and i only hope you love me too." he gave her a pair of kid scissors. "you will always be with me. It's up to you if i will always be with you. If not cut the ribbon." simon looked into jeanettes eyes. She dropped the item and tried to stand up only to fall forward into simon, causing their lips to touch. Simon wrapped his right arm around jeanette just as she pulled away. He turned up her head and he kissed her again. Once again they were interupted by the buzzing of cell phones.
Texts from alvin and brittany saying the same thing:
"heads up you are gunna be grounded after this"
