Cherry and Atticus Meet Frankenstein

chapter 8

Later that night, Dave was with Mr. Yesman as Patrick and Emily were on their way since they were invited to this exclusive party. Jessica wanted to go too, but only because she heard her favorite actor Bud Wiley was going to make a guest appearance and she was gushing like she had a big crush. And where Atticus, Cherry, and the Chipmunks were late. 

"THEY'VE DISAPPEARED AGAIN!?" Yesman nearly fumed to Dave. "No, no, no, tell me you're joking... Mr. Seville, you're not smiling...." he grinned nervously.

"Calm down..." Emily tried to relax him.

"I give you a second chance and this is how you repay me!?" Yesman got hysterical, he then looked dark and dangerous. "All right, it's no more Mr. Yesman..." he threatened the legal guardian of the Chipmunks. "Your chipmunks will never eat nuts in this town again." 

"Take your hands off me," Dave said to him, then spoke once he did. "You're frustrated, I understand, but don't threaten my boys. They may be late, but they're not monsters."

But Cherry proved Dave wrong as she came in. 

"Who's that?" Yesman wondered.

"Cherry?" Dave, Patrick, and Emily asked in confusion.

Cherry grinned as she rolled up into a ball and started to roll down like a bowling ball and these people were her pins. Yesman tried to get out of the way with them.

"ATTICUS, YOUR FRIEND IS RUINING EVERYTHING!" Jessica yelled rather uncharacteristically.

Speaking of Atticus, he and the chipmunks finally got to the entrance of the party.

Cherry used a chainsaw, ruining the ice sculpture of a formal swan and getting ice on everyone and she laughed. "Anyone want some ice?" she then bashed it with a hammer. 

"Hold it!" a guard came in front of them.

"We're the Chipmunks." Alvin told him.

The guard looked at the list. "Chipmunks... Chipmunks..."

"I'm sure we're on the list." Simon said.

The guard looked again. "Yeah, go in, and it looks like an Atticus Fudo and Cherry Butler are allowed in also as requested by Dave Seville."

"I'm Atticus Fudo." Atticus introduced himself.

"Go ahead then." the guard let him go with the chipmunk brothers.

"Man, we have to stop Cherry or our careers—" Alvin started before Theodore cut in.

"Are history!" he exclaimed. "And that's my worst subject! ...Not counting Math."

"Eureka!" Simon happily exclaimed as he got the book open to find something important. "The antidote! Oh, no... I have no idea how to find these ingredients..."

"What are the ingredients?" Atticus asked.

"Inert marine ova, the lower limbs of an amphibian, bovine oral organs..." Simon read, it sounded like Latin terms, but he couldn't think of where to find such a thing.

"Hey, the buffet table!" Theodore dashed over, grabbing a plate.

"Theodore, this is hardly the time for a snack." Alvin rolled his eyes.

"No, it's the ingredients, they are all on the buffet table." Atticus joined Theodore.

"Look," Theodore collected the things, but cringed at the last thing. "Caviar, frogs' legs, beef tongue... Oh, yuck..."
