Part 15. A Beady Eyed Troublemaker!
At the Picnic table...
Eleanor was worried. As she was having her drink with Theodore; she had overheard about Jeanette's accident.
She excused herself and ran off to where her sister was.
Eleanor also wanted to know if the two Chipmunks, that she saw scampering in the tree top, were Alvin and Brittany.
She couldn't tell. The pair had no clothes.
At last she arrived.
When she scampered up to the top of the table, her suspicions were confirmed.
There was her sister Brittany, without her sundress, resting her head on Alvin's bare shoulder.
"Brittany! What happened to losing control; if they see us?", asked Eleanor.
Brittany blushed a moment and said,"The only thing I lost.. Is the fear of him leaving me."
Jeanette then said,"Eleanor don't be too hard on Brittany.."
Eleanor then saw her dear sister Jeanette, who was bundled up in a warm towel.. with Simon.
Eleanor had a momentary look of disbelief on her face. She then asked,"How are you feeling?"
Jeanette smiled and answered,"At first foolish for being too close to the rocket platform.
Then ashamed for having Simon see me all wet and cold.
Now I feel wonderful because of Simon's warm caring heart."
Jeanette rested her head on the tuft of hair on Simon's chest.
Simon then spoke.
He said,"It was accidental in both cases. Alvin and Brittany were over heated.
Uncle Adam had to remove their clothes.
Your sister was deep chilled. I did this.. To warm her up.
We trust each other and we plan to wed; after we graduate from school.."
Eleanor smiled. She then rushed to her sister and hugged her.
She then turned to Brittany and said,"You too.. as well?"
Brittany smiled and nodded her head.
Back at the picnic grounds...
In his RV; Uncle Adam prepared vegetable soup on the kitchenette.
As it boiled away, he observed the chipmunks from his monitor.
A series of mini spy cameras.. Mounted on his remote control model dirigibles.
Each one gave a 360 degree view and had quiet motors. So it was an unobtrusive way to keep check of the area.
Sending out a cellphone text; if trouble shows up.
That was how Uncle Adam learned of the falcon's intentions.
A phone call came in. When Uncle Adam saw it was a priority message.
He quickly answered,"Hello Barry! How's the wife and kids? So nice to hear from you."
Then the elder Seville's face got serious as he listened on the phone.
He then said," So it true.. Those cold war experiments in 1983, that were to develop undetectable, intelligence agents.
My nephew's boys are descendants of the animal behavioral subjects. The ones that escaped from Berkeley University.
The girls came from the line, that escaped the Oakland research lab."
Uncle Adam then looked outside and saw Theodore carefully removing the seeds from a pomegranate.
This brought a momentary chuckle from Uncle Adam; as one of the red, corn-like, seeds squirted Theodore's face.
Uncle Adam then said,"The original subjects had short life spans 10 yrs max.
What did you find from the samples, that were extracted as they slept?"
The elder Seville's face smiled as he said."They have an extended life span?.. 50 to 60 yrs!"
Elsewhere...
A pair of gloved hands opens a pet carrier case. Out slinks a weasel.
A predator of small animals. Especially chipmunks!.
At the Picnic table...
Theodore collected all the pomegranate seeds into a bowl. There was enough for everyone to enjoy.
He then thought, "Now.. If only Eleanor was here.."
Then, from behind, he hears her voice say,"Those look delicious Theodore."
In a selfless gesture, Theodore reached down and picked up the ruby-red seed.
He turned around to give it to Eleanor and froze.
Before him stood a figure.. Glowing in the sunlight.
Bright yellow fur with a creamy white tuft.
Eleanor, in all her glory, was smiling at him.
Theodore stood in awe at this Chipette Goddess.
He could hardly say,"H..H. Here. For you.."
She placed her paws over his and bit into the seed.
Eleanor then giggled and said,"Thank you Theodore.."
Theodore looked in her eyes. It was like he was on the island again.
He kissed her lips, which were still moist from pomegranate juice.
Once again... The feeling of joy washed over him.
Eleanor then hugged him and said," Oh Theodore.. Please show me your stripes.."
Theodore felt a little self-conscious. Ever since Ryan called him," A fatty ratty."
He looks at Eleanor's pretty green eyes. She wouldn't be cruel.
Theodore took a deep breath and said ,"O.K..."
He lifted his hoodie and placed it on the table top. He stood still as Eleanor walked behind him.
Theodore heard her say," Theodore you are so handsome!"
He then felt Eleanor hug him from behind. She nuzzled into him and purred.
Theodore instinctively turned around in her arms to face her.
He gazed into her eyes and meekly asked,"Does this mean.. We are to stay together?"
Eleanor answered,"Only if you wish it to be.."
Without hesitation.. He said,"I do!"
"Oh boy!.. Theodore.. Now you have really done it!", cried Brittany's voice from above.
He looked up and saw the others perched in the tree.
Alvin smiled and said," You said (I do!), to a girl... Simon. Can you tell Theo; what that means.."
Simon smiled and said,"It means marriage... After you finish school!"
The group then joined Theodore at the table. Hugging and congratulating him and Eleanor.
Uncle Adam said, "Come and get it!" As he stepped out of the R.V., holding a large bowl of soup.
As they enjoyed their meal . They told their uncle of their plans to wed.
The elder Seville smiled and said," Am I invited to attend?" The Chipmunks all replied," Yes!"
At the next table...
As Clyde Crashcup was enjoying his lunch. Leonardo tapped his shoulder and showed him something on the laptop computer.
There was signs of motion near the slip and slide set up. He accessed a camera posted in that place.
He saw nothing. So he switched to infra-red mode.
He smiled and said,"Oh ho!.. Leonardo.. We have a beady-eyed trouble maker in our midst!
Shall we send in the welcome wagon?"
Leonardo smiled.. He knew what that meant. He sent a command on the laptop.
The weasel slink-ed around the Slip and Slide. It smelled of chipmunks.
It looked around for a place to hide and wait.
The fountain of the play-set started to gurgle up water. The weasel looked at it curiously.
Then a small white balloon came out of it. The weasel stared as the white balloon seemed to increase in size.
A heart beat latter.. The weasel is running for its life; as the bouncing orb beast gives chase.
Rover's unearthly howl is getting closer. The weasel was overtaken. It gave out a pitiful squeal as it was swallowed.
From the picnic table.. Clyde Crashcup turned to Leonardo and said,"Pop Goes the Weasel!"
Who would send a weasel after the Chipmunks?
