Chapter 17: Revealing the Monsters
"Hello? Is anybody out there?" Simon asked nervously until he turned the flashlight that they had with them on. He saw that his brothers and the Chipettes were no longer stuck under the bed sheets. Simon quickly looked at all of the bed sheets to see if there was any damage done to them. He found none. Simon knew of course, that since the bed sheets were no longer hanging that meant his tent was no longer up.
"Ah great! Now I have to put up my bed sheet tent all over again!" Simon complained until he turned his attention to his siblings. As he shined the flashlight's light on the five other chipmunks, Simon asked: "Is everybody okay?" Everyone nodded their heads, and that was a relief for Simon. He then looked over at Alvin.
"Alvin, why didn't you stop when I told you to? You made my bed sheet tent fall on top of us!" Simon exclaimed in an annoyed voice. Alvin looked down, realizing his mistake, and then looked back at Simon.
"I'm sorry, but I was so worried about the monsters getting us, that I wasn't paying attention!" Alvin replied. Suddenly, Theodore gasped and began shaking.
"S-Speaking of monsters…Look!" he said pointing to the shadow monsters as they appeared one by one. Everyone group hugged like before, but Simon stayed where he was. Simon took the flashlight, and when the first monster appeared, Simon used the flashlight to see what the shadow actually was. Once Simon did this for all three of the shadow monsters, he faced the other chipmunks.
"These aren't monsters, Theodore. Look for yourself," Simon said as everyone looked at what the flashlight was shining on. The big, spooky clawed hand was actually a tree branch outside of the attic window. The bat shadow was actually a bunch of clothing that was stacked on top of each other, giving the appearance of a bat. Finally, the ghost Theodore had seen earlier was actually a wooden hat rack covered in a white bed sheet, making the shadow look like a ghost.
"Wait, so there were no ghosts or monsters after all?" Theodore asked in a confused voice after seeing the objects that he was afraid of. Simon smiled, put a paw on Theodore's shoulder, and replied: "No Theodore. The ghosts and monsters you thought you saw were just regular objects in the attic. It was just your imagination, little buddy!" Simon then looked around at all of the white bed sheets on the bed and said: "My bed sheet tent however, did fall down, and I'll need to put it back up. You all can stay on the bed. Just let me organize the sheets again."
After Simon's bed sheet tent was back up again, everyone went back to sleep.
