As I promised, here is the next chapter. And once again as I promised, it is much longer. Enjoy and please review! P.S. I own nothing except Madison
Promptly at 5 o'clock, Jeanette arrived at Simon's house. She rang the bell, and waited patiently for someone to answer it. Sure enough, Simon answered the door.
"Hello, beautiful," he said, and then kissed her cheek.
"Oh, stop it," she said, smiling and blushing.
He welcomed her inside and she took a seat on the couch. He sat down next to her, and turned on the t.v.. The news was on, and of course, they were talking about Alvin and Brittany getting arrested. Jeanette sighed.
"So, how're we going to work this out?" she asked a few minutes later.
"We should visit the bank, and see if we have enough money in our personal accounts."
"We might have enough if the four of us put our money together," she said, hopefully.
"We might. But the paparazzi will be all over us. They'll know exactly what we're doing,"
"Well, we could at least try,"
"You're right,"
And with that, they both got up. Simon grabbed his car keys, and wallet, and they walked to his car. After they got in, Jeanette called Eleanor.
"Hello?"
"Hey,"
"Hi, Jeanette. Is everything ok?"
"Yeah, everything's fine, but do you think that you and Theodore can meet us at the bank. We need to bail Alvin and Brittany out of jail,"
"Uh, sure. We'll meet you inside,"
"Ok, thanks Eleanor,"
"No problem,"
"Bye,"
"Bye,"
After a few minutes of silence, Simon turned on the radio, where they were once again talking about Alvin and Brittany. They arrived at the bank, where they were flooded with paparazzi and fans.
"How'd they even know that we use this bank?" Simon asked.
"I have no clue," Jeanette replied.
They got out of the car where they heard people screaming for them. "Simon! Jeanette! What do you think about the arrest of Alvin and Brittany?"
Simon pushed them out of the way with his left arm, while he clung to Jeanette with his right arm.
"No comment," he said.
When they were safely in the bank, he let go of her. The security in the front wouldn't let the paparazzi in. They sat down in the chairs close to the door, and waited for Eleanor and Theodore to arrive. They knew they had arrived when they heard the screaming start up again. Sure enough, they walked in seconds later.
"Let's get this over with," Simon said, not wasting any time.
They all walked over to one of the tellers, and explained their predicament. The teller called over one of the other employees. Then, the teller took their information, and gave it to the employee. The employee came out from around the counter, and introduced herself.
"Hi, my name is Madison, and I'll be assisting you all tonight," She shook each of their paws, very awkwardly and said "Follow me."
They followed her to a back room, with numerous chairs set up around a table. Madison had long, orange hair. She also had brown eyes, and freckles on her face.
They once again explained their situation to her. She nodded her head.
"Well, I'll add up all of the money in your accounts, and we'll go from there."
She left the room, and the four were left alone in the room.
"What if we don't have enough?" Eleanor questioned, worriedly.
"Easy, we leave them there." Simon answered.
"We can't just leave them there though!" she shot back.
"Actually, we can. It would just look bad on our part," Jeanette explained.
"Poor Alvin and Brittany, just sitting in that jail cell,"
"They aren't poor, Eleanor, they practically put themselves in there."
"Jeanette! That's our sister in there!"
"I know that. But by leaving her there, we're showing her tough love. Especially if we don't have enough money. If we do, we'll bail them out as soon as we get out of here."
Just then, Madison came back into the room. All of their heads snapped up, and looked at her.
"Well, I added all of the totals together, and the grand total is $6,878."
They all let out exasperated sighs. They didn't have enough money, but they were close. After glancing at each other, the decision was unanimous.
"We'd like to withdraw that money," Eleanor spoke up.
"Ok, I'll go take care of that for you." she disappeared out the door again.
"I think we can get $222 somewhere. How hard can it be?" Eleanor said excitedly.
"I hope so. Maybe we can get them out tonight." Theodore joined in.
Simon and Jeanette exchanged glances. They weren't as hopeful, but the still thought they could do it.
Madison re-entered the room. She was carrying and counting a large amount of bills.
"Who is going to hold onto this?" she asked, not looking up.
"I will," Simon says. They all nodded, and then she handed the money to him. He put it in his wallet. Then Madison got four pieces of paperwork. She handed them each one paper and a pen.
"Please sign your name stating that you authorized the money to be taken out of your accounts and then you are free to go."
They signed the papers and stood up.
"It's been a pleasure," Madison said smiling. She shook each of their paws again, and they walked out of the room.
"Ok, so we'll go home. look for loose money and see how much we can round up. Sound good?" Simon instructed as they were walking out of the bank.
"Sounds good!" they all agreed.
The paparazzi flooded them once again, screaming their names and asking questions. They just kept their heads down and kept walking. Jeanette got into Simon's car, and Eleanor got into Theodore's, and they headed towards the girls' house.

Meanwhile, Alvin and Brittany were just waking up from their long slumber.
Brittany felt horrible when she woke up. She felt nauseous and had a headache.
"Ugh," she groaned.
"Britt? Are you ok?"
"I'm nauseous and I have a pounding headache," she replied, rubbing her head.
"Good thing there's a toilet over there," he thought for a moment and came up with a brilliant idea.
"Britt, I just came up with the best idea ever!"
"Really? What is it?"
"You're pregnant!"
"Excuse me?" she questioned, her eyes widened
"You pretend you're pregnant, and then we can get out of here!"
"And what happens when the guard watches me pee on the test and it comes up negative?"
"I don't know," he said. "Unless..."
Both of their eyes grew wide as they remembered that night a few weeks ago.
"Oh, god," she said, closing her eyes.
