Chapter 2: Picking Out a Costume

Dave's sons explained to their father the special assignment that was going to be due on Halloween. Dave was happy to hear that all of his sons could have fun doing their school assignment. "Okay boys, I'll let you get started. Good luck!" Dave said as his boys ran up to their bedroom to think of what costume they would pick.

Alvin grabbed a notebook, and pencil as he and his brothers sat down on their beds to think. "Okay fellas! We need a costume that we could ALL use for our assignment. Got any ideas?" Alvin exclaimed, ready to begin writing notes. "Well, I think it's safe to say that there will be no werewolves or Frankenstein monsters considering when we meet Frankenstein, and when Theodore turned into a werewolf!" Simon mentioned as Alvin wrote down what he said. They all agreed, and tried to think of different costumes. "How about we all dress up as vampires!" Alvin suggested. Simon got a nervous look on his face when his red-clad brother said this. "I don't think that's a good idea, Alvin. Vampires drink blood, and even if we use fake blood, I don't think the teachers would agree. Remember, the costumes have to be school appropriate!" the bespectacled chipmunk pointed out. Alvin groaned as he realized what Simon meant.

"Okay, no vampires. How about we dress up as super heroes, or monsters?" Alvin suggested. "Yes, that's a good idea. Another option is that we could be mummies!" Simon added. Alvin quickly jotted down the ideas just as Theodore started waving his arms excitedly. "Oh! Oh! Oh! I know another costume we could do!" Theodore exclaimed. The two older brothers watched as Theodore slid off of his bed, got his shoes off, and pulled back the green bed covers. Theodore then climbed back up onto the bed, grabbed his white bed sheets, and threw them on top of him, so he was completely covered. "We could be ghosts! Boooooo!" the sheet-covered chipmunk said waving his arms around to demonstrate. Alvin and Simon laughed at Theodore's silliness, before Simon exclaimed: "Yes! That's a great idea Theodore!" while Alvin added 'ghost' to the list.

Now that the chipmunk brothers had their costume ideas, they just needed to decide on what costume they would all wear. So, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore decided to wear their own costume ideas, and vote on which one was best. Both Alvin and Simon then got off of their beds, and headed for the door to go ask Dave to help them out with their costumes.
