Chapter 8: A Run to the Bus!
Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor all sat down with the teacher and other students as they all had ate apples, milk, and sandwiches for lunch. Once that was done, the students were all free to continue looking around the zoo, but had to return to the entrance of the zoo by three o' clock so they wouldn't miss their bus. Of course, everyone understood, and went to go have fun!
The Chipmunks and Chipettes all agreed to stay together from then on so they wouldn't get lost, or have to come find each other at the last minute. With that settled, they all agreed that they would go see different animals that they all wanted to see. As long as they weren't scary ones considering Theodore and Eleanor were the youngest of the group. The six chipmunks saw elephants, wolves, lions, and many other animals. They were all having so much fun!
As they kept exploring the zoo however, time quickly passed, and the Chipmunks and Chipettes remembered that they had to be back at the bus by the afternoon. "Simon, what's the time?" Jeanette asked feeling nervous about how much time they had. Simon pulled out his chipmunk-sized cell phone, and replied: "The time is… TWO FIFTY!? OH MY GOODNESS! You guys, the bus leaves in ten minutes! C'mon! We have to hurry!" Simon ran over to where a map of the zoo was, and took note of their current location. He turned to the others and said: "Okay, we are at the Wild Jungle Safari exhibit. If we run down the path on the left and keep going, we should be able to catch the bus before it departs. Quick, we don't have much time!"
It was then that Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor all ran in the direction that Simon told them to, hoping they would make it back to the bus on time, as well as getting out of the zoo before it closed. It was literally a race against the clock! Thank goodness adrenaline was flowing through each of the chipmunk's bodies, because this meant that they had an extra boost of energy in order help to get them back to the bus on time! Hopefully, they would make it.
The Chipmunks and Chipettes ran until they finally made it back to the bus within the last few minutes. By the time the Chipmunks and Chipettes seated themselves, the bus started to leave to go back to school. "W-W-We made it!" Simon said while he, his brothers, and the Chipettes all tried to catch their breath. Soon, they were all back at the school, and Dave came to pick them up. Once they got home, all six chipmunks took showers, and got into their pajamas.
They spent the next several hours relaxing until it was time for bed. Thankfully, the day was so busy that none of the Chipmunks or Chipettes argued about staying up, and went straight to bed.
