Chapter 13: Finding a Bed

"DAVE! DAVE! Dave, please help us!" the Chipmunks and Chipettes called out to Dave, hoping he would hear them. He didn't come, nor was there a reply from him. The six chipmunks tried calling for Dave again, and again, but there was still no reply of any kind. What the Chipmunks and Chipettes didn't know was that the attic door had accidentally closed and locked them in the attic while they had been looking around. Also, since the attic door was closed, it was almost impossible for Dave to hear their cries for help. In fact, Dave had fallen asleep while he was listening to music in his bedroom.

"It's not working. Dave can't hear us!" Theodore said sadly. Simon put his arms around Theodore, giving him a hug and said: "Don't worry, Theodore. Dave will find us. It just won't be today or tonight." Theodore accepted the hug and hugged back. Once they separated, Simon said: "Theodore is right. Dave won't be getting us out of the attic tonight, but I'm guessing that he will be looking for us tomorrow. We'll just have to spend the night in the attic, for now! Good news is that we have all the bedding and pillows we need, now we just need to find suitable beds!"

The Chipmunks and Chipettes all decided to not sleep in the chest, considering that if the lid closed on them, they could be trapped in it forever. That would not be good. They had to find other alternatives for beds. Otherwise, they would be sleeping on the floor.

They all looked around, trying to find something that at least resembled a bed. Then all of a sudden, they heard a metallic sound, and saw a mattress with a fitted sheet covering it. It was a bed that could fold up, and it was just what they needed! Then, Simon looked up and thought he saw something over the bed.

"Alvin, point the flashlight up over the bed for a minute," Simon said as Alvin did as he was told. Hanging right above the bed were some hooks attached to the ceiling. Simon suddenly got an idea, and smiled. He quickly ran away from the others, and started collecting white bed sheets from all over the attic floor. Everyone looked at Simon with confused looks on their faces.

"Simon? Why are you gathering bed sheets?" Jeanette asked watching her bespectacled counterpart grabbing the bed sheets before running over to the rest of the chipmunks.

"I want to use these bed sheets to make something that will protect us while we sleep," Simon replied before throwing one side of each bed sheet upwards. The bed sheets caught onto the hooks on the ceiling, leaving the sheets dangling from them. Simon then grabbed the other edges of the bed sheets, and began his plan.
