Part 6. Pulling Tricks on Route 66 !
In the control room..
The two figures in the shadows, switched camera locations.
They were hoping to see the group enjoying themselves. Instead they see Brittany weeping on her sister's shoulder.
The tall observer said,"Oh dear!.. Leonardo.. Do you think our little guest is crying because of that minor accident with the launch?"
" Accident!", roared a voice from behind.
Uncle Adam entered the control room with Dave.
He glared at the technician and said,"Show me what happened."
The shorter tech played back a video. It showed the launch abruptly jerking forward, after the tow line took hold of it.
Then the chipmunki pile up, where Brittany was knocked unconcious.
He then sees Alvin's attempt at reviving her after the accident..
He had to chuckle a bit after seeing it..
Zipping the video foward.. Uncle Adam and Dave are then surprised by Theodore and Eleanor's display of affection.
Uncle Adam had to say,"Dave.. Your Theodore is a baby no more.."
Turning to the tall tech, he said,"Clyde Crash-cup! Adjust the speed on the tow line.
I don't want another one of these accidents. Is that understood."
The tech nodded in acknowledgment.
Uncle Adam then turned to Leonardo and said,"Patch me in to one of the billboard screens.."
On the scaled down route 66.
The blue Mini Cooper was in pursuit of the red Mustang. Jeanette skillfully caught up with Simon and Alvin.
Five car lengths more and she could flag them down. The mustang went over a railroad crossing then the arms went down.
A train now blocked them.
"Why did that happen?",asked Jeanette.
"It's not fair!",cried Brittany.
Beside the train crossing was a large billboard which advertized Burma Shave. It went bright white.
This was easily seen by the girls.
Black lettering appeared.. It read,"Turn on your radio."
Jeanette did as instructed.
She then heard a voice say,"Is there something wrong girls?"
The billboard was a flat screen monitor. Dave's Uncle Adam was facing them.
Jeanette politely said,"Well sir. There was a slight misunderstanding between my sister and Alvin.
She really didn't mean to get cross with Alvin. She wished to apologize, but he left with Simon.
He thinks he will ruin her day; if he stays near her."
Uncle Adam rubbed his chin and said" A lover's spat. Eh."
When Brittany heard that term; she wiped her tears and blushed.
She had once a crush on Alvin,yet that cooled down after she got to know him.
She then said,"No it not like that. We are only friends.."
Uncle Adam smiled and said," Stop lying to yourself girl. Your tears tell me another story."
Brittany knew she couldn't fool Dave's uncle. He had seen through her ruse.
Uncle Adam then said,"Have you told him how you feel?"
Brittany shook her head.
Uncle Adam then said," Brittany.. I'll see that he heads in your direction.
Now I think you have to take some cues on how to get his attention."
Meanwhile... Further down route 66...
Simon was feeling a little worried.
Alvin had whizzed by two rest stops and raced over the railroad track.
Something was really bothering him. Yet Alvin wasn't talking. Simon hoped he would stop.
Then as if someone read his thoughts, the mustang started to slow down. They had entered a scaled down City of Chicago done in a 40's motif.
"What's wrong with this car?",said Alvin.
Simon looked at the instrument panel and said,"You drained the battery. Alvin." The pair then started walking around looking at houses and cars from a different era.
In front of them was the Phillies Diner,from the painting: Nighthawks at the Diner. .
From behind the counter, an animatronic attendant flagged them in and said "You boys look thirsty. Would you like something to drink?"
"Do you have rootbeer?', asked Alvin.
"Of course..", replied the attendant, as it went over to the fountain and filled two tumblers.
Placing the drinks before them it said," O.K. Alvin what going on with you and Brittany?"
Alvin in a dumbfounded state asked," How do you know my name?"
The Figure said,"This is your Uncle Adam talking to you..Boy!"
Will Uncle Adam be able to straighten things out?.. Will Simon get back to his Jeanette?.. Where did Theodore and Eleanor go? Find out in the next chapter...
