Here's chapter seven. This chapter has mostly Theonor in it just so you know. Anyway, enjoy!
Eleanor sat silently on the couch in her living room. She looked at the clock on the wall. 7:59pm.
Quickly, she grabbed the remote from off the coffee table and turned on the TV.
The theme song to her favorite show came on. An electric guitar played music that was a tune similar to the song China Grove by the Doobie brothers.
"Now here's your host; Wayne Brady!" a voice from the television said.
Eleanor walked into the kitchen to get a snack while listening to the TV.
"Hey everybody! And welcome to Don't Forget the Lyrics!" The audience on the game show started to scream.
Eleanor got a bowl of popcorn and again sat on the couch.
"And let's give a hand for our guest tonight from Orlando, Florida, give it up for Alley Newman!" A brunette in a red tank top came up on the stage excitedly.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Eleanor quickly got up and answered the door. On the front step she saw a plump green-clad chipmunk.
"Hey Theodore!" Eleanor said cheerfully.
"Hi Eleanor!" Theodore exclaimed, "Can I come in?"
"Sure!" Eleanor opened the door a little wider so she can let her friend through.
As she led Theodore in, she could hear the Television in the backround saying "I'm gonna lock in those lyrics!"
"What'cha watching?" Theodore asked.
"Don't forget the lyrics. It's a game show."
Theodore looked at the TV and nodded. "How do you play?"
Eleanor explained to Theodore that what the player would have to do is pick a genre of music. Then the player would pick between two songs to sing. Once the player chose the song, they would sing it, but later in the song, there would be words missing and they would have to say what those words are. Then when they were sure they have the right lyrics, they would say that they would like to "Lock in the lyrics". Each time you get the lyrics right, they would get more money, and there would be more words missing from the song.
"Sounds like a good show," Theodore said.
"Let's watch it!" Eleanor said sitting on the couch. Theodore sat beside her.
"Okay, you now have $25, 000, guaranteed money," The host told the contestant. "Now what category of music would you like to do?"
The contestant stopped to think for a moment. "I'm going to go with the 1980's." She decided.
On the screen, all the categories disappeared, and it showed two 1980's songs. The safety dance and Total eclipse of the heart.
"Which song would you like to go with?" Wayne asked kindly.
Again, the contestant had trouble deciding. "Well, I don't know much of the lyrics to Safety dance, so, I'll go with total eclipse of the heart!" The audience cheered. The contestant picked up the mic and started to sing.
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit tired to the sound of my tears
Theodore and Eleanor sang along to the music coming from the television.
Finally, the song reached to the chorus.
And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever-
Suddenly, the music stopped and there were seven blank spaces on the screen.
The contestant hesitated. "Uh, uh. . . "
"It's 'and if you only hold me tight'!" Theodore actually shouted at the TV.
"Theodore, she's not going to hear you," Eleanor told Theodore.
Theodore sighed. "I know."
The contestant finally decided to give up and keep the money she had.
"That's a pretty good show," said Theodore, eating the last piece of popcorn.
"Oh, yeah," Eleanor replied softly.
Theodore looked at her. "Are you okay?"
Eleanor looked up from the ground. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that Brittany and Jeanette are fighting. I think this cheerleading thing is tearing them apart."
"Well, no matter how much they fight, they're always going to be sisters. They'll forgive each other eventually."
Eleanor smiled at him. "Oh Theodore, you always know what to say," she said while embracing him.
It was silent for a few moments. Eleanor got up and looked out the window. "Wow! Look at all those stars!"
Theodore stood beside her and glanced at the window as well. "Wow."
"Aren't they the most beautiful things you've ever seen?"
"Well, they're the second most beautiful," Theodore said looking at Eleanor.
Eleanor looked at him and smiled.
Suddenly, the phone rang. An elderly lady walked over toward the phone. "I'll get it!" Miss Miller said.
Miss Miller was the chipettes adoptive parent. She adopted the girls after they've been living in a treehouse for their whole life.
As Miss Miller answered the phone, Theodore and Eleanor still looked out the window.
Just say it, Theodore thought to himself. Don't be scared.
"Uh, Eleanor?" Theodore said sheepishly.
"Yeah, Theodore?"
"I have to tell you something," Theodore said.
Eleanor waited patiently to hear what Theodore had to say.
"I, I like yo-"
Theodore was interrupted by Miss Miller. "Theodore, sweety! That was Dave. He wants you home now."
Theodore sighed. "Okay. Bye Eleanor."
"Bye," Eleanor waved at him.
Theodore walked out the door and was gone.
"Eleanor, you should be getting to bed soon," Miss Miller told her.
"Yes, Miss Miller." Eleanor started to make her way up the stairs and into her bedroom that she shared with her sisters. Jeanette was fast asleep and surprisingly, so was Brittany. I wonder if they just gave each other the silent treatment until they were asleep, Eleanor thought.
Eleanor got into her bed, under her lime green covers, and soon enough, like her sisters, she fell asleep.
Okay I hoped you liked chapter 7! I just wanted to get in a little fluff between Theodore and Eleanor. I will update soon and please review!
