Part 7. Mayhem in Mother Goose Land..

At the destination..

The green VW Rag Top approached the sign . It read: Sea Side Amusement Park.

Theodore and his sweetheart, (Eleanor), had arrived. The little bug parked at it's reserved spot and the pair, (arm in arm), walked to the entrance.

An anamatronic hostess greeted them and handed them a map.

There was a lot to see and play with. Balloon rides, parachute drops, dry rides wet rides,slow rides and fast ones.

They then heard a loud, clickity clack, noise. Looking up they saw an impressive,( scaled down), version of a classic roller coaster ride.

The sight of it made them dizzy. They looked at each other and said ,"No Way!"

A familiar voice said "Snack time kids."

They turned to it's direction and saw a poster promoting:" The Great Witch Doctor!"

It went suddenly blank and was replaced by a familiar face.

Theodore and Eleanor cried out ,"Dave!"

Smiling on the monitor, Dave said," How do you like my Uncle's adventure park?"

"It's fantastic Dave. Even better than the one on TV.",said Eleanor.

"Did you say we could have some snacks ?",asked Theodore with a hopeful smile.

Dave answered,"Follow the directions on the map to The Snack Hut. That's where I'll meet you."

Back at the diner...

"Come on boy. You can tell me what's eating at you.",said Uncle Adam through the anamatronic puppet.

Alvin hesitated.

Then drew a deep breath and said,"I don't know if Brittany loves me as a boyfriend or as a friend.

I heard her speak of a dream prince in her sleep. Is it me or is it someone else? It really hurts not to know.."

Simon felt sad for his brother. When it comes to confidence in other things Alvin usually excels.

This time his brother looked truly lost and melancholy.

Simon then went up to him and said,"You have always been a prince. The way you went to rescue her and her sisters is proof.

When you helped Jeanette escape from Zoe is another time.

She really does love you bro.

You haven't really noticed, because you are always planning the next big thing."

Uncle Adam then said,"Your brother has got a point.

Alvin... Give her a chance, and listen to what she says. It might surprise you.

Great things happen; when one takes the time to listen."

The words sunk in. Alvin felt hope growing in his heart. Brittany seemed more beautiful to him than before.

He didn't wish to lose her.

Alvin then said,"I got to get back to her..."

"We'll need a ride. Ours broke down on the way here .", said Simon.

Uncle Adam said,"I'll fix that."

Then the diner floor started to lower.

As the room raised, the pair saw a room below. Hydraulics's, electrical wiring, then a platform.

On it stood Uncle Adam with technician Clyde Crash-cup.

Uncle Adam held a Red 56 Corvette.

He placed it on the track of an access tunnel, marked Route 66 to amusement park.

Then he extended his hand to Alvin and Simon,who scurried down and hugged him.

After thanking Uncle Adam, the brothers took off to their heart's destination.

At the amusement park..

Dave was taking it easy. He was resting on a mountain side, just like it was a lawn-chair.

He could have blended in with the other attractions in the Mother goose land section of the park.

Theodore and Eleanor were enjoying themselves. Going up Jack and Jill's Hill-Slide Ride.

Then to Humpty Dumpty's Wall climb.

All went well until they went to Miss Muffitt's Tuffet bounce.

Eleanor enjoyed it until the spider prop came down. She gave out a sharp scream of terror.

Dave got up to see what happened. What he saw next blew his mind.

Theodore had torn free a candle stick pole,( from the Jack be Nimble skill game), and proceded to beat the stuffing out of the spider prop.

Swinging like a professional baseball player. Theodore scored a direct hit.

Spider prop snapped from it's web. Then it soared through the air..

Knocking Humpty Dumpty off his wall.. and sending him head first into Jack and Jill's well.

Dave walked over to the flash point of the mayhem. He heard Theodore comforting Eleanor, by saying,"It's alright..

Nothing but a squirmy spider.. Just like on the island."

"Theodore.. Can you tell me what happened to you two on the Island?", asked Dave.

Dave then sat down, and listened in wonder to the tale of: Theodore vs THE JUNGLE MONSTER!

For those who haven't read it.. Prepare for a thrills, chills,and romance.
