Cherry and Atticus Meet Frankenstein

chapter 9

The Chipmunks took their friends to the stage for another Chipmunk show for the people. Unknown to them, the doctor was still there and decided electrocute Cherry somehow as he saw that she was playing with the microphone before the show would start. But unknown to him, Frankie was right behind him and the doctor was going to feel a lot of pain. The doctor was able to electrocute the microphone, but he screamed as he saw his monster rebelling against him. He got back, then screamed and got himself zapped without harming Cherry. 

"Cherry, you're still you!" Atticus rushed to her with a hug.

"Get off of me!" Cherry said quickly as he hugged her. 

"Oh, Frankie, you saved her!" Theodore smiled as he ran to the monster, hugging him.

"Yeah, thanks, Frankie." Atticus said as he joined in.

"Oh, it's a monster!" a woman cried in the audience. "He's hurting that little boy and chipmunk!"

"Oh, no, Theodore!" Dave gasped.

Emily gasped too and looked angry. "Unhand my boy, monster!" 

The people were looking like the villagers in Frankenstein, wanting to hurt Frankie, not knowing it was a comforting hold and he wasn't trying to hurt them.

"No, he's not!" Theodore cried with Atticus.

"Get out of the way, kids!" Patrick moved them to safety.

Frankie didn't like this and he growled, picking up Patrick and threatening him.

"No, wait, Frankie, don't hurt him, he's my father, put him down," Atticus said. "Frankie down."

Frankie didn't answer for a while, but frowned, he was being a monster again and he put Atticus's father down as told. Patrick was nervous and ran back with Emily and Jessica.

"Reminds me of Adam when he was a beast..." Cherry whispered as she thought back to when she helped protect the castle from Gaston's attack.

"Now, if anyone lays a hand on him, well, you won't like it, and how do you know I'M not the monster?" Theodore looked to the crowd angrily, then let out a growl. "Just because he looks like a monster, doesn't mean he is one... What's that saying? You can't judge a book by its pages?"

"By its cover, Theodore." Alvin whispered, even he knew that was wrong.

"Yeah," Theodore smiled, then went on. "So, well, maybe his cover isn't so great, but his pages are really, um— uh, well, you know what I mean."

This confused the crowd, but they changed their opinion of him after Frankie and Theodore hugged each other again. And where this made Atticus, Cherry, Alvin, and Simon smile.

"I'll get that 'Cherry' yet, as soon as I get out of this stupid costume," the doctor muttered as he tried to remove his head, but struggled. "Stupid, stupid thing... Oh, no! I'm doomed! Stuck to be Sammy Squirrel forever!" he cried, falling flat on his stomach as he was stuck in the rodent costume and no one would help him out.

Cherry smiled, she then sat with Atticus, Dave, Patrick, Emily, and Jessica as the show was about to start. And where it was as great as their last show.
