Chapter 12: Trapped in the Attic
"Are you serious?! I did all that digging around for this?! This chest is filled with nothing but bed items! I'm going to tell the others," Alvin complained before jumping out of the chest. As Alvin got out of the chest however, he saw all his siblings still stuck under the white bed sheets he had thrown out of the chest. They were all running around the place trying to get the sheets off. Unfortunately, since Alvin didn't know that he had accidentally covered his siblings with bed sheets, he got spooked by them!
"Ahhhhhhhh! Ghosts!" Alvin screamed before accidentally bumping into the chest he had just come out of. When he did this however, a white bed sheet was hanging out of the chest. So when Alvin bumped into the chest, he unintentionally caused the white bed sheet to slide off of the chest, and fall on top of Alvin! "Yikes! Ahhhhhh! Help! Who turned out the lights!?" Alvin cried out, struggling to get out of the bed sheet. After several minutes of struggling, both the Chipmunks and Chipettes finally got out of the bed sheets.
"Phew! Thank goodness we're out of those sheets!" Simon said before everyone looked at Alvin. "Anyways, what did you find in the chest, Alvin?" he asked. "All I found were some blankets, some chipmunk-sized teddy bears, a regular sized teddy bear, pillows, and some quarters. It was nothing but bedroom stuff!" Alvin explained in an annoyed voice. "I'm sure Dave had that stuff up here for a reason," Simon replied kindly. "Yeah, you're probably right. Anyways, let's get back to Dave and tell him what we found," Alvin said now walking towards the wooden square in the floor that was both the entrance and exit to the attic. Alvin grabbed the metal knob that opened the little wooden door, and pulled. Nothing happened. Alvin tried again, and still didn't get it to move. After many attempts, Alvin couldn't open the attic doorway in the floor. This made him a bit nervous. "Simon, you wouldn't happen to have a key to the attic door, do you?" Alvin asked apprehensively. "No, I don't. Why do you ask?" Simon answered. "I am asking because I can't get the attic door to open. I think we're trapped in the attic," Alvin said with nervousness. "Alvin, stop joking around. We need to leave!" Simon said thinking his brother was making excuses. "I'm not joking, Simon. I honestly can't open the attic door," Alvin replied.
Simon scurried over and tried to open up the wooden hatch just like Alvin, and got the same result. "Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no! This can't be happening!" Simon cried out realizing what Alvin was talking about. "We can't get out! Help me out guys!" Simon urged as all six chipmunks pulled but still couldn't get the wooden hatch to open. "This is not good! We need Dave!" Simon said desperately.
