Chapter 10
The chipmunks were all back stage yet again, for their second show in Paris, only this time the chipmunks didn't have the excited feeling they usually had, this time they had a sad feeling and that one chipmunks less made them feel lonely, not complete, not a family.
"I can't believe we are actually doing a show without Alvin" Eleanor said.
"I hope he's ok" Theodore hoped.
"Don't worry Theo, there is a babysitter with him" Simon pointed out.
"but Si, she doesn't even speak English, she could just about understand the word hello, I mean what if he needs something and then the babysitter doesn't understand?" Theodore asked.
"Look Alvin's tough and can get through anything and before you even realise, he will be back on stage with us" Simon comforted.
At that minute Dave came running through the door with worry on his face.
"Simon? DO YOU KNOW THE WORDS TO BAD DAY?" Dave asked.
"Erm, sort of... Why?" Simon replied.
"Because we aren't allowed to take it out of the show, so will you be ok singing it?" Dave asked again.
"i-i-i guess s-so" Simon stuttered, feeling his heart where his mouth was.
"Don't worry Si you're a great singer" Jeanette said, but that wasn't what Simon was worried about.
"b-but Dave? That's Alvin's song" Brittany said.
"I know but we can't take it out of the show and someone has to sing it" Dave pointed out.
They all sighed and before they knew it the curtain came up, and like always they would get in their starting positions for Witch Doctor. Then it got to Bad Day which Simon now had to sing, the music started playing, and Simon went to sing but instead he just froze in shock looking out to the audience. The audience were talking almost themselves wondering one, why Alvin wasn't there and two, why was Simon not singing.
"Isn't he meant to be singing?" Eleanor asked and all of the chipmunks froze in shock, they didn't know what to do.
Simon just stood in the middle of the stage on his own, he felt his heart beating as fast as a humming bird beats, Simon then felt dizzy and his head started to spin, then his started seeing black spots and before he knew it, everything went dark, and he fainted on stage. Everyone was starring is horror, wondering what had happened but you see, Simon can pick up song words easily, and he was always used to singing back up with Theodore, and he always at least got to practise a song too. This time it was last minute, he was told to sing the song and he was all alone and the stage, it was times like this when Simon didn't Alvin being around because he is used to being the centre of attention all the time , not Simon. The curtains then closed with Simon behind them. Dave came running on stage with Jeanette who was sitting by his side.
"SIMON SIMON ARE YOU OK? WAKE UP, PLEASE!" Jeanette yelled, she felt a tear go down her cheek. Theodore and Eleanor then came running in with some water and sat it beside Simon.
Slowly Simons eyes started to flutter open, and Jeanette's tears went, and a huge grin replaced them, as Simon tried to sit up Jeanette was hugging him tighter than she ever had.
"THANK GOODNESS I WAS SO WORRIED!" Jeanette said relieved.
"W-wh-what happened?" Simon asked.
"You fainted on stage, when you were singing Bad Day" Brittany reminded.
"O yh don't remind me" he answered.
"Wait what about We Are Family?"
"We haven't done it, everyone's probably gone now" Theodore said.
"Oh I'm so sorry guys" Simon apologised.
"I'm the one who should apologise Simon, I never should have made you sing that, and can you forgive me?" Dave asked.
"Sure" he answered.
"do you want some water" Jeanette asked, and handed him the cup with water in, he took some sips and then everyone helped him to stand up, they hobbled offstage and got ready to go home.
