Author's Note: This is a short Chapter. I had thought about combining Chapter 6 and 7 into one since they are both short Chapters. But I decided that I would just go ahead and post this Chapter and work on making Chapter 7 longer and I will post it sooner. Also I rewrote the beginning of Chapter 3 so if you would like to go back and read the updated version you can but if you don't want to you don't have to. You won't get lost down line if you don't read it.

Chapter 6

Taking Charge

Dave begins thinking to himself: Theodore is right that is a strange way of fighting but what else could the boys be doing? And that yelling and moaning I heard it to but I just suspected they were fighting as always. I will ask Theodore to keep an eye on them for the next couple of days since I will be out of town. Dave heads towards the Chipmunks bedroom to talk to Theodore.

Dave: Theodore I wanted to ask you a favor. As Dave opens the bedroom door he sees Theodore fast asleep. Dave chuckles. He couldn't even finish his snack. Dave goes and cleans up his snack and kiss Theodore on the forehead.

Dave heads downstairs and finds Alvin and Simon watching TV he then makes his way to the kitchen to throw away Theodore's half-eaten snack. As he comes back from the kitchen he goes and sits down with the boys.

Alvin and Simon: Hey Dave.

Dave: Hey Fellas. You guys were acting strange this evening. I just wanted to make sure you guys are alright.

Simon: We are fine Dave. We had a little disagreement earlier but we have it all worked out now.

Dave: So I heard.

Alvin and Simon look at each other then turned to Dave with a puzzled look on their faces.

Dave: I was talking to Theodore earlier and he told me you guys were down here fighting just a little bit ago.

Alvin: Oh that! Yeah, we couldn't come to an um um.

Simon: I believe the term Alvin is looking for is a Mutual Agreement.

Alvin: Yeah that!

Dave So who won?

Alvin and Simon: It was a tie.

Dave: Ok well I didn't come down here to talk about your fighting boys.

Alvin: Then why are you down here?

Dave: I am getting to that Alvin. Since I am going to be out of town for a couple of days I need to put one of you in charge.

Alvin's eyes twinkled with the prospect of him being in charge.

Dave: I think Simon should be the one in charge.

Alvin's face was distraught. He could not believe that Dave picked his younger brother.

Dave: I'm sorry Alvin. You are older but Simon is more mature. I can't be off worrying about you guys.

Alvin: Ok Dave I understand. He says with a look of disappointment on his face.

Simon: Dave

Dave: Yes, Simon

Simon: I think you are wrong about Alvin not being mature enough to be in charge.

Alvin and Dave both have a look of shock on their faces.

Dave: Simon are you saying what I think you're saying?

Simon: If you think that I want to give up my right to be in charge and give it to Alvin then you are correct.

Dave: Wow ok then. Alvin, you will be in charge while I am out of town.

Alvin: Thank You, Dave! Thank You, Simon! He gives each of them a big hug.

Dave: Well I need to get to bed I have an early day tomorrow.

Alvin and Simon: Goodnight Dave!

Alvin: Simon you gave up being in charge for me. Why?

Simon: Well you came up with that fighting story within seconds. You saved me again. So I thought this was the perfect way to pay you back. He says smiling.

Alvin: Thanks, Simon! I will make sure I pay you back! He says winking.

Alvin and Simon head to their bedroom to go to bed. As they are making their way upstairs Simon has a question.

Simon: Hey Alvin.

Alvin: What?

Simon: You said you would pay me back. Can I let that collect some interest? He says winking at his brother.

Alvin: You bet Simon! He says Laughing.
