Chapter 5

Caught

Alvin and Simon immediately stop fooling around and look up to see Theodore standing at the bottom of the stairs. Theodore has a look of shock on his face.

Alvin: Just let me handle this. He whispers out the side of his mouth to Simon.

Alvin: What have you never seen Simon and me fight before? He says with a chuckle.

Theodore: Wait that was fighting? It sure didn't look like it to me!

Simon: Well what do you think we were doing Theodore? Alvin and I fight all the time you know that. Simon thinks to himself. I hope he's buying this!

Theodore: Well I don't know it just looked different from the way you guys normally fight.

Alvin: Well Theodore there is more than one way to fight you know. Come over here and I will give you a demonstration.

Theodore: No thanks Alvin I believe you. I'm going to fix myself a snack then go to bed. You guys want anything?

Alvin and Simon: No we are fine.

Theodore: Ok your loss. He says with a chuckle.

Theodore goes to make himself a snack.

Simon: Oh that was way to close!

Alvin: Tell me about it my heart is still racing!

Simon: Good job on saying we were fighting.

Alvin: Good Job yourself Simon you helped convince him.

Theodore comes back from making his snack.

Theodore: I'm off to bed guys Goodnight.

Alvin: Goodnight Theodore!

Simon: Goodnight Theodore we will be up soon see you in the morning.

Theodore heads upstairs. Just as he is about to enter his bedroom Dave comes out of his.

Dave: Theodore could I see you for a minute.

Theodore: Sure Dave

Dave: Theodore have you noticed how Alvin and Simon have been acting today?

Theodore: Well sort of.

Dave: What do you mean sort of?

Theodore: Well they were fine all day at school. But when they got home something seemed different but I wasn't sure what.

Dave: Yeah I got that vibe too. Go on.

Theodore: At dinner though Simon seemed distracted like he had something on his mind but he wouldn't make eye contact with Alvin much even though Alvin kept staring at him.

Dave: So I'm not crazy. I noticed that too.

Theodore: But then after dinner, they seemed different again.

Dave: Different? Different how?

Theodore: Well they seemed happy again. Simon came downstairs and I asked him if he was alright and he said yes. Then he asked me why and I told him I heard him and Alvin yelling and moaning upstairs in our bedroom. Then he got scared.

Dave: Scared? That doesn't sound like Simon.

Theodore: I know that's what I thought. But then he said he heard Alvin call him. Then he went upstairs to the bathroom where Alvin was taking a shower. Then in a little bit, they both came down and Alvin said he forgot his towel and needed Simon to get it for him. But Dave I never heard Alvin call for Simon.

Dave: Well I was up here and I never heard him call either but that doesn't mean he didn't call for Simon.

Theodore: But why Simon? Why not me or you?

Dave: Well I was busy and you were planning the menu for when I am out of town. Perhaps Alvin asked for Simon since we were both busy.

Theodore: I never thought of that. There is one more thing. When I got out of the shower I heard some strange noises and when I got downstairs to see what was going on I saw Alvin and Simon um fighting I guess.

Dave raises an eyebrow.

Dave: You don't seem too sure about that.

Theodore: They said they were fighting but it looked different.

Dave: Different how?

Theodore: Well it was slower and not as violent. They were kinda rolling around on top of each other. When I think fighting I think of it as fast paced with punches being thrown.

Dave: That is a strange way to fight but it is late perhaps they were tired.

Theodore: Yeah your right Dave. I never thought of that. And come to think of it when I got done making my snack they seemed like there old self's again.

Dave: Well they probably got whatever they needed to out of there system.

Theodore: Well I am pretty tired Dave can I go to bed now?

Dave: Yes, sorry for keeping you, Theodore. I will see you in the morning.

Theodore: See you in the morning!
