Chapter 18: Finally Found
The rest of the night was peaceful for the Chipmunks and Chipettes. There were no more monsters, no more getting stuck under bed sheets, just a nice, quiet attic.
The next morning, Dave woke up in his bedroom, got up, and walked over to the Chipmunks and Chipettes bedroom. All of the beds were empty, and neatly made. This surprised Dave since the beds were usually messy in the morning, apart from Simon's and Jeanette's beds. 'I wonder where they could be. Last time I saw them, they were going up to the attic-' Dave thought to himself, until he remembered where they were.
"The attic?! Oh my goodness!" Dave yelled as he instantly ran to where the attic door was, and tried to push it open. This got Dave even more concerned. If the attic door was locked, that meant the Chipmunks and the Chipettes had spent last night in the attic. Dave just hoped that they were okay, and that nothing bad happened.
Dave opened the attic door, and climbed inside of the attic, looking around with a flashlight that he had gotten earlier. As he looked around, he noticed Simon's bed sheet tent, and wondered if they were in there.
"Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, Eleanor! Are you in there?" Dave called out hoping for a response. Inside of the bed sheet tent, Simon and the others had woken up a little before Dave had entered the attic. When he called out for them, they knew who it was. Simon separated two of the bed sheets again, and yelled out: "Dave! We're in here!"
The light from Dave's flashlight shined on Simon and the other chipmunks, and Dave made his way over to them. Dave carefully sat down on the bed, and hugged all six of his chipmunk kids. Once they separated from the hug, Dave asked them: "You guys, I'm so sorry for not coming to help you out last night. I promise I'll never do something like that again. Did you get the chest open at all?"
"We sure did! All we could find though was a bunch of white bed sheets, some blankets, some chipmunk-sized teddy bears, a regular sized teddy bear, some pillows, and a few quarters. It was a chest for bed supplies!" Alvin explained.
"So then when you all got locked in the attic, what did you do then?" Dave asked them, wanting to know what happened during the night.
"Well, we found this mattress with a fitted sheet on it. We figured it would make the perfect bed, since we got all of the bedding supplies from the chest. However, I used the bed sheets from the chest beforehand to make this bed sheet tent, so no insects or objects could fall or disturb us while we were asleep!" Simon explained matter-of-factly. Dave then looked at Simon's entire bed sheet tent.
"You made this bed sheet tent, Simon? I'm impressed!" Dave complimented his bespectacled son. Simon smiled and then continued the story.
"Anyways, we were sleeping in the bed sheet tent, when Theodore woke up screaming about monsters. We got scared too, and then Alvin got so freaked out by the monsters that he accidentally caused my bed sheet tent to fall on top of us. So when the bed sheets fell on top of us, we couldn't see anything, and had a hard time getting out of the sheets. Luckily, we were able to get out of the bed sheets, and I ended up putting my bed sheet tent back up again. We also found out what the monsters actually were. Theodore thought a tree branch was a spooky, clawed hand, he thought a pile of clothing was a bat, and he thought a wooden hat rack that was covered with a white bed sheet looked like a ghost! After that, we had a good night's sleep. Then you came and found us," Simon said finishing the story.
Dave was both shocked, and amused by Simon's story. Dave smiled and then said: "Well, you've all had a long and hard night. Go take a shower and then you can hang out!" The Chipmunks and Chipettes smiled back, and ran through the attic door and went to shower. At last, they were finally out of the attic!
