Cherry and the Chipmunk Adventure

chapter 2

The next day, Dave, Emily, and Patrick were getting ready for their trip to Europe. Dave was kind of in a rush though and Emily and Patrick had come with Atticus and left the boys with Ms. Miller. When Dave left with Atticus's parents, Alvin was just sulking, he wanted to go to Europe too. Atticus then came into the Chipmunks' house and where this got Simon and Theodore excited and where it would have gotten Alvin excited too if he wasn't sulking, because Atticus was like the older brother they never had.

"I can't believe he's going without us!" Alvin huffed, folding his arms and glaring at the wall as he sat on his bed.

"It's a business trip, Alvin, you wouldn't be allowed to see the sights anyway." Simon coaxed, being the responsible one, handled this a lot more maturely.

Theodore kept eating his sandwich.

"Hey, guys." Atticus said to the chipmunks as he entered inside.

"Hey, Atticus." the chipmunks greeted back, Alvin still miserable, Theodore with a full mouth, and Simon actually enthusiastic.

"How've you all been?" Atticus asked each of the chipmunks.

"We're well," Simon smiled. "Just gonna miss Dave."

"Yeah, he promised he'd call us though whenever he could." Theodore smiled.

"Who's there!?" an elderly woman's voice nearly snapped. "I hear voices! Boys, are we being robbed!?"

"NO, MS. MILLER, IT'S JUST ATTICUS!" Alvin yelled as loud as he could to the woman.

"Hello, Ms. Miller, how are you doing these days?!" Atticus called out to her.

The elder woman came out and smiled. "Oh, hello, Atticus! I didn't know you were coming here too, David should've told me!"

"He did!" the Chipmunks reminded her.

"Oh, did he?" Ms. Miller sounded lost. "Well, he should've told me twice! I'm not the spring chicken I used to be..." she gently fluffed up her poofy white hair.

"Where should I put my bags?!" Atticus called out to her again.

"Here, I'll get 'em," Ms. Miller smiled. "Don't need to shout, dear..."

Alvin, Simon, and Theodore rolled their eyes at what she said.

"Okay, so which room am I going to be sleeping in?" Atticus asked.

"We have a cot in Dave's room if you wanna stay in our room with us." Theodore suggested.

"Just don't touch my stuff, I have signs." Simon reminded Atticus if he chose that.

"Okay." Atticus said he also knew about Simon's signs.

"DO YOU BOYS WANNA GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY!?" Ms. Miller called from the kitchen. "I'LL GET YOUR LUNCH STARTED!"

Alvin groaned. "Sure, whatever..."

Theodore just finished his sandwich, but he actually looked willingly hungry again. "Oh, boy!"

"Yes, ma'am." Atticus said.

The four boys then went down the street, there was a small cafe which had a video game INSTALLED that wasn't too far from the house. There was a game called Around the World in 30 Days. Alvin didn't like the game at first, but he decided to give it a try.

"Alright, who wants to go against me?" Alvin looked at his brothers and friend.

"How 'bout me?" Brittany's voice was heard.
