Cherry and Atticus Meet Frankenstein

chapter 1

It was still summer until school would be let out in a short amount of time before the kid population would know it. Luckily for some, there was a thrilling amusement park to go to in Hollywood which involved the beloved cartoon rodent called Sammy Squirrel and an attraction to go to Frankenstein's castle and meet the monster creation himself. Cherry and Atticus were invited to go for free since they knew the Chipmunks well and they would have a show to do shortly and would hang out with the two after their performance before their next show. The Chipettes were not coming though because they were visiting Australia for the summer to meet their old friend from the orphanage they came from.

"This is so cool." Atticus said.

Cherry bit into her cotton candy. "Yeah... Okay, we got time for one more ride before the Chipmunks' show starts. You wanna go on the ferris wheel, bumper cars, or spinning swings?"

"Bumper cars." Atticus said.

"Okay," Cherry checked the time briefly. "If we go now, we can make it to the show to start in five minutes."

"So, then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Atticus said as he pulled her so they wouldn't be late.

"Okay," Cherry checked the time briefly. "If we go now, we can make it to the show to start in five minutes."

"Do you think if I run us all the way to the show while carrying you on my back we'll get to the show on time?" Atticus asked.

"Probably could, just be careful." Cherry shrugged, eager to do the new game, then see the boys on stage.

"Okay then," Atticus said before letting go of Cherry and kneeling down while facing away from her. "Hop on."

Cherry did as told as she bit into more of her cotton candy. "All aboard the Atticus Express!" Once she got on to Atticus's back, he grabbed onto her legs.

"Hold on." Atticus said.

Cherry did her best to hold on, she felt like she was on a Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon for when the blue hedgehog would carry someone and he would speed them around to get them to safety.

"Alright, here we go." Atticus said as he now stood up and began to run without having any problems.

The people were curious of Atticus, but they went about their normal business. 

Cherry saw a studio tour bus. "Maybe after the show we could go there." she suggested once she saw it after they came to the bumper cars.

"Yeah, maybe." Atticus said before setting her down after they arrived at the bumper cars.

Cherry and Atticus went into the bumper car thing. Cherry took a blue car and fastened her seat-belt and gripped the steering wheel and was eager to play with the other kids around here. Atticus took a red car and fastened his seat-belt eager as well. 

The working man saw they were ready and went to outside of the gate and rang the bell, which started the cars and the ride. The other kids were ready to play as they were driving around and purposely bonking into each other. Atticus and Cherry were having a lot of fun on the bumper cars.

Cherry laughed as she drove to the side, then bumped against one boy, making him roll back to the end of the gate. The game was now over and Cherry checked her time. "Ooh, Atticus, we better leave now!"

"Yep." Atticus said as he now pulled Cherry so they wouldn't be late.

'Alvin and the Chipmunks, hurry, the show is about to start!' the intercom announced as Cherry and Atticus rushed with the crowd to see the boys' show and hang out with them a little after before they would go back home. 

Cherry and Atticus found seats in the dead front row, but there was a rude woman with her son who seemed pushy and shovy and even pushed Cherry and Atticus out of the way so they could sit down. Her son even blew a raspberry at them and she didn't even seem to care. 

"Brat..." Cherry mumbled to the boy.

Atticus somehow used his strength to make the seats shaking and to ruin the brat boy's drink without anyone noticing. The boy sniffled and whined.

"Oh, poor Billy..." the woman soothed her just as obnoxious son and glared at them. "You two should be ashamed!"

Cherry rolled her eyes. "I see where he gets it..."

The lights dimmed quickly and the announcement was made for the show for the Chipmunks' new song called Things Out There as Theodore was walking across the stage to find Simon as a vampire and Alvin as a mummy to fit with the spooky mood of the show.

'Cool.' Atticus thought.

Theodore wasn't really scared as he sang with his brothers, only acting, but it seemed legitimate enough. There were scared kids in the audience, but they actually enjoyed it. Cherry smiled at the Chipmunks, they were so talented for being kids and were without their mother ever since Dave adopted them around Christmas time. Simon played his keyboard while Alvin played guitar, still wrapped in mummy bandages and Theodore did most of the singing.

'They are really talented.' Atticus thought.

The show ended with a big explosion and the crowd went wild.

Simon and Theodore bowed, but Alvin fell in the middle of the floor, in front of the bratty boy and his mother.

"What kind of park are you running?" the woman glared at the chipmunk as her boy whined and cried. "Oh, my poor baby..." she tried to soothe her son, then took his hand and walked off with him as he stuck his tongue out at them again.

"What is their problem?" Cherry scoffed. 

Alvin got up and was unraveled out of his bandages with Simon and Theodore's help. 

"Great show, guys." Cherry smiled to them.

"Yeah, really great show." Atticus said.

"We have a while until our next show before Dave comes to pick us up," Simon told their friends. "We should do something."

"I think you guys would feel better if I had something to eat..." Theodore rubbed his tummy. "How about we hit the snack bar?"

"Hello, a snack bar?" Alvin scoffed. "We got a whole hour to kill and you wanna go to a snack bar? Absolutely not!"

Cherry took out her map of the park. "I guess he's right... There's a 3D show... Special Effects Lab... A planetarium..."

"Oh, please, Cherry," Alvin cut in, then pointed to a menacing new ride. "We're going to Dragon Land!"

"Dragon Land?" Atticus asked, not knowing about the ride.

"It's this awesome new ride," Alvin explained. "Come on, I'll show ya."
