Chapter 5: Field Trip
After dinner, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor all sat on the couch. They were all talking about the upcoming field trip to the zoo on Monday that their Biology class was going to take. "I can't wait to go see all the animals!" Theodore said enthusiastically. "With the teacher's permission, of course." "I think it's going to be more of an assignment where we have to fill out a worksheet, and stick with the group!" Simon replied matter-of-factly, looking at Alvin while emphasizing the words 'stick with the group'. Alvin of course didn't understand why Simon looked at him.
"What? I didn't do anything!" Alvin exclaimed, putting his paws in the air in an 'I surrender' position. "I never said that you did anything, Alvin. I'm just concerned about what you are going to do! The zoo may be fun, but you have to remember to be safe too," Simon replied making sure Alvin understood that he was just worried about his brother's safety. "I know, Simon. Thank you for your concern," Alvin replied before giving his brother a hug. Simon smiled and hugged back.
Dave walked out of the kitchen and sat down on one of the chairs, facing the Chipmunks and Chipettes. "Okay, so before you all go on the field trip, we need to go over some rules. First, if you ever get lost, remain in the last place you were at with the group. Second, since all of you have cell phones, make sure your phones are all charged so that way your phones don't die while you're at the zoo. You can also call or text anyone in the group in case you get lost, so you can meet the group at where they are at, or at the next location. Third, don't be afraid to ask questions in case you don't understand what you are assigned to do. And finally, be safe and have fun. But don't cause any trouble!" Dave said as he explained the rules. "We understand Dave!" the six chipmunks all replied.
Dave nodded, as he stood up and said: "Okay, good. Well, I'm going to go to bed. You can all stay up, but you have to be in bed by nine o' clock. Goodnight guys!" "Goodnight Dave!" the Chipmunks and Chipettes all replied watching Dave go up the stairs to his bedroom.
"Good, at least Dave is satisfied. Now, we better get our pajamas on so we are ready for bed by nine!" Simon suggested also heading up the stairs. Theodore, Jeanette, Eleanor, Brittany, and Alvin followed the bespectacled chipmunk up the stairs, and into their room, before getting out their signature colored pajamas from the closet. Once they were all done getting ready, the six chipmunks did their own little activities while sitting or lying down on their beds. Soon, it was time for bed, and as everyone fell asleep, they couldn't wait for what the next day brought them.
