Chapter 9: A Ghost and the Contest
Alvin and Theodore smiled before all three chipmunk brothers looked at each other and laughed at how silly they had been. They then grabbed the bed sheets from the floor, and went to go put them away. Theodore just threw his bed sheet in the laundry basket, put a new bed sheet on the kitchen table, and dried himself off.
Once Alvin, Simon, and Theodore were all washed up, they hung out in the living room. Besides, according to the time, Dave would be home any minute.
Soon, Dave drove into the driveway and parked the car. Dave got out of the car, and walked to the front door. However, it took a little while to get to the door, considering all of the wind and rain. Once Dave reached the door, he looked for his keys to get inside the house. However, as the wind continued to blow, a white bed sheet blew off of the clothesline from the side of the house and landed on top of Dave! Poor Dave was stuck under the bed sheet with no idea of how to get out!
"Ahhhhhh! What's going on?! Fellas, get me outta here! Help!" Dave called out struggling under the bed sheet. Fortunately, the Chipmunks had heard Dave from inside the house, and ran over to unlock the door. When they opened the door however, lightening flashed, revealing the bed sheet covered Dave in front of them.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! It's a ghost! Help us!" Alvin, Simon, and Theodore screamed before running over to the couch and comforting each other in a group hug. As the bed sheet covered Dave advanced towards them however, Dave yelled: "Help! Fellas! I can't see anything!" The Chipmunks then looked up at the 'ghost', recognizing the voice from under the bed sheet.
"Dave!" the Chipmunks exclaimed, separating from their group hug and running over to help out their adoptive father out from under the bed sheet. Once the bed sheet was off, Dave happily cried out: "Alvin! Simon! Theodore!" before giving them all a hug. The Chipmunks hugged back. After they separated from the hug, Dave looked at his sons and said: "Thank you for getting that bed sheet off of me, fellas. So, what did you all do while I was gone?"
"We accidentally mistook each other for ghosts. It was kind of scary," Simon replied. Suddenly, both Alvin and Simon looked at Theodore and said to him: "Theodore, after what happened tonight, I think both Alvin and I agree that dressing up as bed sheet ghosts for the costume contest on Friday is a good idea."
"Thank you. I'm really glad we could come to an agreement," Theodore responded as his brothers hugged him.
By Friday, the Chipmunks had their bed sheet ghost costumes ready, and went to the costume contest. They hung out with the Chipettes, and waited to see who had won the contest. It turns out that Alvin, Simon, and Theodore won the costume contest for their costume originality. The Chipmunks couldn't believe it; they had won!
Afterwards, everyone went home. The Chipmunks each got a ribbon and a stuffed animal as their costume contest prize. Everyone was happy; especially Alvin, Simon and Theodore.
Apart from winning the contest, the Chipmunks were also happy that they were all safe and sound. But most importantly… They wouldn't have to worry about ghosts ever again.
