Alvin and the Chipmunks: Short Stories Collection

It's Theodore and Eleanor's Cooking Show - Part 1

It was a normal school day for the Chipmunks and Chipettes

The six of them were stuck in school until 3:30pm and were hoping for the day to go by quickly

It was currently dinnertime and Alvin, Brittany, Simon and Jeanette were having their dinner

However, while they were eating their sandwiches and crisps, Alvin was wondering where Theodore and Eleanor had got too

"Does anyone know where Theodore and Eleanor are? They are normally first in the cafeteria at dinner time" explained Alvin

"Don't you remember Alvin? I told you yesterday" replied Brittany with a sigh

Alvin looked at Brittany with a blank face

"The two of them have started a cooking show" said Brittany

"both Theodore and Eleanor are going to start cooking meals together in front of a camera so the school can promote the TV show and the two of them cooking healthy meals" explained Jeanette

"You didn't tell me about this did you?" asked Simon

"No sorry...I was going too but didn't get around to it" replied Jeanette

"I only told Alvin yesterday because I was so excited when Eleanor told me what she was doing with Theodore at school" admitted Brittany

"After we have all had our dinner, shall we go and see how Theodore and Eleanor are getting on?" asked Simon

"Yeah that sounds like a great idea" called Alvin

15 minutes later, the four of them left the cafeteria and were walking down the corridor towards the Technology and Cookery Classrooms

"Did they tell you and Brittany which room they were filming there cooking show in?" Simon asked Jeanette

"Yeah Eleanor said the floor was C and 3PO is the room number" replied Jeanette with a giggle

After a couple more minutes of walking, the four arrived at the classroom and saw Theodore and Eleanor inside through the window

"Guy's let's try not to make too much noise incase they are filming" said Simon

"Relax bro, we got this" replied Alvin with confidence

Alvin pushed the door open and luckily Theodore and Eleanor weren't filming

"See I said we would be fine to just walk in" joked Alvin

The others shook their heads in disappointment

Just then, Eleanor noticed her sisters and the other Chipmunks had just walked in

"Hi everyone!" called Eleanor

"Hi Eleanor!" they all replied back while smiling at Eleanor

"How is the cooking show going?" asked Jeanette

"Great, all of you come up here and we will show you what we have just filmed" said Eleanor

Alvin and Simon helped Brittany and Jeanette get up to Theodore and Eleanor on the table and then the boys got up afterwards

Once everyone was on the table, Eleanor hit the playback button on the laptop that was connected to the camera and the video started

"This episode today shows me and Theodore cooking Peri-peri chicken mozzarella stacks with macho peas" explained Eleanor with a smile

"Oh boy, I can't wait to release this video to everyone in the school" called Theodore with excitement

Once the video had ended, Alvin Simon Brittany and Jeanette all congratulated Theodore and Eleanor's newest cooking show episode

"Great job you two" said Simon

"Yeah, we are all so proud of you" called Brittany

"When are you going to cook cheeseburgers and chips?" asked Alvin

"Alvin, Theodore and Eleanor's cooking show is about making healthy food not. Unfortunately, cheeseburgers and chips won't appear on their show" explained Simon

"Oh, that's a shame" replied Alvin

"Hey, are you the Chipmunks and Chipettes?" asked someone close by

The six of them turned around and saw Mr Brown

"Hi sir, yes we are the Chipmunks and Chipettes" replied Brittany with a smile

"What are you doing here? You don't teach cooking?" asked Jeanette

"I just wanted to talk to Theodore and Eleanor about their cooking show" explained Mr Brown

"That's us two" said Eleanor putting her and Theodore's hand up

"Guys, I have some bad news. The headteacher is planning on cancelling your cooking show" said Mr Brown with a sigh

"What? Why?" asked Eleanor

"The ratings have gone down a bit since last month and a boy called Craig has a new show at school that people seem to be enjoying more" called Mr Brown

"What show could people be enjoying more then Theodore and Eleanor's Cooking Show?" asked Simon in surprise

"Craig's new show called 'Animal's Close-Up With a Wide Angle Lens' it's been a hit since it aired last week" said Mr Brown

Mr Brown pulled out his phone and showed the Chipmunks and Chipettes a clip of the show

"My advice would be to do something drastically different to your cooking show soon, or the headteacher could end up cancelling your cooking show soon" said Mr Brown before walking away

"Oh no! What are we going to do?" asked Theodore in a panic

"Don't worry Theodore, we will all come up with a new idea better then Craig's" replied Eleanor
