Chapter 6: The Carnival

A/N: So I'm four weeks late. I've been working on my Twitch channel more which is under the same name I have on this website called TheSteelMushroom. I'm still trying to work on a source of revenue so I can do this and my Twitch full time. Go check it out if you want to see me play video games and support me if you can. But now we finally get to the main attraction based on the title. More fun to come with this chapter and thing I find with carnival as well as arcades is that they're quite expensive because you would like buy certain things cheaper elsewhere and I understand you're there for some for fun and some might not care but it does become quite a conundrum. Some people bring their own things I guess like food or buy toys in other places. I remember winning this thin foam airplane that was really cool and gilded amazingly but unfortunately it broke. I wish I could of kept it because it was quite fun along with this rubber mouse that had water and could stick to any surfaces. I scared my grandmother one time with it because it was stuck on the ceiling and it fell on her while she was searching for something. That one broke as well due to me throwing it at the wall too hard. Anyways on with the show.

Disclaimer: I do not own Alvin and the Chipmunks series or the Chipettes. The Chipmunks and Dave were created by Ross Bagdasarian Senior and the Chipettes were created by Janice Karman who is Ross Bagdasarian Junior's wife with the entire company being Bagdasarian Productions. The other characters were probably made from other people who help or were in the company. Only the plot, themes I came up with and I have no original character (or OC) here. The two songs being used aren't mine and are called Word Up by Cameo and Witch Doctor 2.0 made by Bagdasarian Productions I think.

Warning: To understand the context or mention of pass events you have to watch or know the four Alvin and Chipmunks movies from original to Roadchip. The movies are really good great humor, tons of fun and great to sing a long so I would recommend watching it.

It was a new but perfect day with the weather being not too hot or too cold and there was a balanced amount clouds to make things decently bright in the open. In the clear dirt plains there layout was a huge fence work that covered miles of land that surround a carnival with various rides, stalls, tents and food courts. The gang came driving in the filled car park and barely found one spot to take before a different car came driving by almost about take it. Ian was in the passenger seat next to the driver's seat while Dave drove along with Zoey in the middle of the back seats and the Chipmunks or Chipettes group together with their siblings on both of her sides. The car stopped in the spot which kicked up quite a bit of dust from the dirt then they all unbuckled their seatbelt and exited the car to see an enormous queue of people waiting to enter. Luckily Alvin was grounded for one week like several weeks ago because if he couldn't make this then he would've been the most upset creature known in existence so he raced ahead being unwilling to wait any longer. The band and their friends or family all moved ahead of the line from the sides with many people standing there quickly turning toward them screeching their names and cheering in excitement at their presents. They could only wave back at them as there was no time to personally greet their fans up close.

They got close to the front of line with the organised crowd paying for tickets then entering through a turnstile while on the opposite side was a red carpet with similar color rope as an alternative entrance for VIPs but it was empty and much shorter being like a third of the huge queue. There was a massive beefy bouncer guarding the door frame with a red rope. Dave went up to him and presented the papers that he received in the letter a number of weeks ago. The muscular guy took some time examining the papers and nodded at the same time then held it with one hand while using the other to take the red rope off the entrance to let them in. They head in to see a seas of people walking individually or in groups to search around or head into the many attractions that the place had to offer. There were colossal exhilarating rides like roller coaster or ferris wheels and plenty more along with food stands or trucks to help fuel up your appetite after participating around in the fun activities which both fill the air with screams of good times and sweet aroma of treats. Along with some stalls with small standard games for challenging fun and charming toys to give out as prizes. Dave squeezed past people's bodies while the Chipmunks and Chipettes did so past with the horde of legs. The gang had to get their performance stage a bit early so they can act out for their show. There was already a gargantuan amount of people there waiting behind the fences in front of where the crew can do their songs and choreography waiting there for them which some also cheered when seeing the singing group entering through the back of the huge black mobile stage setup. These people were here early and mind you the carnival just opened up 15 minutes ago because they were highly anticipating for this act to be astonishing. The little musical band picked up their specially made miniature mic headset from their audio engineer who was a goatee man with glasses and a plaid shirt. Then all six 'munks or 'ettes came out walking while waving to their fans with joy and happiness to see them all be here to support what the group love doing.

Alvin put his paw flat up to gesture for the audience to quiet down. They slowly calm down and that gave Alvin the opportunity to say what he wanted. "Thank you all for coming. Fans or others that want to give our show a chance and we're grateful that you're all here." as he signaled towards the general crowd with an open paw. So for all those older fans of ours would remember that our song at our first major performance was Witch Doctor." He then clasps his paws together to say "Well we have a special treat for you and that is a modern electro remix of our original song that we call Witch Doctor 2.0!" The sea of people roared in enthusiasm and Alvin gave the thumbs up to their audio engineer behind them while tilting to the side and turning slightly around to get a good look at him. The engineer nodded in response and look down to focus on the technology and his audio mixer.

They stood next to each other in one line with their counterpart on boy's left or the girl's right with multi-colored neo ground light giving the stage this vibrant aesthetic to it. The music started slow with a couple of electro beats with long intervals in between but it sped up in pace as the gaps shorten then started mashing together. The gang executed all their dances simultaneously in the same way they did with each one. The group started with a move called Getting Bucked where the crew side step while waving their arms fours times then clap their paws and repeated it the opposite direction but duplicated for a second time.

Alvin, Simon and Theodore: I told the Witch Doctor that I was in love with you. I told the Witch Doctor that I was in love with you. And then the Witch Doctor, he told me what to do.

Next was the Chip-Hop which they brought one of their back paws behind them and the other forward six times then bent down kneeling with one knee against the ground while spinning their arm back to touch the ground. Quickly getting back up to repeat the switcharoo of back paw four more times and proceeded by pulling one paw back and sliding forward.

Alvin, Simon and Theodore: He said that. He said that. He said that. He said that. Sa-Sa-Sa-Sai-ai-ai-ai-aid tha-a-a-a-t.

With the help of the audio engineer he mash the rapid recurring three words together while making it sound more electronic by turning a few knobs and clicking some buttons.

It continued with the Munk'y Fist that they did using one curved arm over their head and their back paw on the opposing side to step forward then both were brought back to the original position which was mimicked by the inverted side. Followed by their leg sliding away to the side and pulled back up for them to slap the knee. Allowing them to finish it up with the crossing of the arms past each other and their legs moved apart outwards along with a move called The Gorilla with both curved arms over their heads but one back paw forward. Ending the move with the repetition of the knee slapping.

The crew kept their mouths shut except for Alvin who lead this part of the chorus during the time they performed the moves.

Alvin: Ooh eeh ooh aah aahh ting tang walla-walla bing bang. Ooh eeh ooh aah aahh ting tang walla-walla bing bang.

Simon added his part with the engineer electrifying his voice.

Simon: Bang, bang, bang.

They repeated the chorus for another time.

Alvin: Ooh eeh ooh aah aahh ting tang walla-walla bing bang. Ooh eeh ooh aah aahh ting tang walla-walla bing bang.

Simon: Bang, bang, bang.

Next was the Munk Steady where they bring the right back paw forward and lean the same side shoulder to swerve back and forth seven times then returning back with both feet together.

Brittany and Jeanette took over with this verse together while Eleanor and Theodore harmonizing behind their lyrics.

Brittany and Jeanette: I told the Witch Doctor that I you didn't love me too. I told the Witch Doctor that you didn't love me nice. And then the Witch Doctor, he told gave me this advice.

Second last came the move called Going Nuts were they split their back paws outwards three times then flip their arms up near the shoulders. Continuing with the first movements two more times while leaning to the left and proceeded with a swing of the head to both sides then each member finished it with a pose. Brit's pose was a glamour one with her paw on her hair like fur and other paw on her hips, Alvin's one was the finger guns to the audience, Simon's posture was the intellectual chin grip, Theo look like he was grasping his paws together near his head with the boo-hoo eyes, Jeanette had fake nervous arms behind her back while looking at the ground next to her and Eleanor gave a cheery wave to the crowd. They had to repeat the dance again except the poses were gone and replaced it with a snake like motion of the body where the crew transition to turning toward their counterpart.

While dancing the gang sang the chorus to the rhythm of their movement except this time Brittany joined in to harmonized and add in some backup lyrics of her own.

Alvin: Ooh eeh ooh aah aahh...

Brittany: Ooooohhh eeeeehhh

Alvin: ting tang walla-walla bing bang. Ooh eeh ooh aah aahh ting tang walla-walla bing bang.

Simon: Bang, bang, bang.

Brittany: Baby.

While facing each other they were replicating Going nuts but after the first three back paw splitting and the ones after the head swing; each partner did their own little routines. Alvin and Brittany brush each other's shoulders off, Simon and Jeanette quickly adjusted each other glasses while Eleanor and Theodore gave the other a quick hug. The serpentine maneuver was replaced with the counterparts switching spots and crossing their arms while gripping their elbows. As the chorus was repeated for the final time.

Alvin: Ooh eeh ooh aah aahh...

Brittany: Ooooohhh eeeeehhh

Alvin: ting tang walla-walla bing bang. Ooh eeh ooh aah aahh ting tang walla-walla bing bang.

Simon: Bang, bang, bang.

From this point on it was just the electronic instrumentals but now It was time for the final unique move named Crossing the Forest where they sidestep four times to both sides. When the gang reach said side to jump in the air while shaking like crazy with each Chipmunk or Chipette doing their variation of the sidestep as well as the hops. To conclude it all six had to redo the Chip-Hop and after the slide each of them had a unique pose then came a twirl with a crouch to which the song ended as the crew finished.

The audience screamed with approval then when it died down giving the lead Chipmunk an opportunity to speak. "So for our second part of the show, we will be singing a groovy electric song called Word Up." That was the queue for their sound engineer who pressed a couple of buttons and an electric groovy steady beat played. They organised into an equilateral triangular bowling pin position with Alvin in front, Brittany and Simon behind him then the remainder of the cast at the end.

The gang made slow step forward as the red clad Chipmunk started the song.

Alvin: Yo, pretty ladies around the world. Got a weird thing to show you, so tell all the boys and girls.

Alvin,Simon and Theodore: Tell your brother.

Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor: Your sister.

All six: And your mamma too 'Cause they're about to throw down and you'll know what to do.

They threw their paws forward, around, pointed towards the ground and at the audience based on the lyrics.

Alvin: Wave your hand in the air like you don't care.

Simon: Glide by the people as they start to look and stare

Theodore, Brittany, Eleanor and Jeanette: Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick mamma.

All six: Come on baby, tell me what's the word, a word up.

The crew wave their arms in the air, shimmy with their arms in front of them for a good few sentences of the lyrics then pointed to themselves and pointing up into the air.

Brittany: Everybody say. When you hear the call, you've got to get it underway.

Jeanette and Eleanor: Word up, it's the code word. No matter where you say it, you'll know that you will be heard now.

The group raise their arm in the air then the paw near their ears. The next move was a curve bent down dive and back up to point up in the sky then put their paws in front of their mouths like a speaker.

Alvin: All you sucker DJs who think you fly. There's got to be a reason and you know the reason why. You try to put on those abs and act real cool but ya realise that you're acting like fools.

The red clad chipmunk was the only one who did unique dance as he did a thumbs up and pointed it behind him probably at their audio engineer then spread his arms out like wings. While the others cross their arms the whole time as Alvin pointed toward the audience then had his arms spread outwards to represent the cast and pointed at his own head. The lead chipmunk brush over his abdomen with his paws and next in his pockets with a smirk pose but the others gave him fake giggle while holding their paws in front of their mouths to pretend to suppress it.

All six: If there's music, we can use it, we need to dance.

Alvin: We don't have time for psychological romance. No romance, no romance, no romance for me.

Those words surprise Brittany because those were not the initial lyrics he sang during their rehearsal and they stuck with her during the rest of the dance. Did he change them himself or someone else ask him to sing them? As she was trying to comprehend what they actually meant. She did the dance pretty well based on muscle memory but her mind was fully distracted and there was this facial expression of struggle as she attempts to figure it out. Was he literal with those words or was it part of the act? The Chipette had to know for sure. The cast did individual moves then Alvin obstructed his wrist to indicate time. The boys put their arms in crosses in front of their chest while the girls created heart shape with their paws.

All six: Mama come on baby, tell me what's the word a word up. Everybody say. When you hear the call, you got to get it underway.

They repeated the moves for the chorus for one last time and the music slowly died down for the performance's conclusion. There the crew took a bow to end it all. The crowd of people all blew up in cheers for their spectacular choreography and singing one again. The 'munks and 'ettes responded gratefully with a wave as they see so much support from their audience. When it died down a bit which allowed Alvin to speak up. "Really glad that everyone enjoyed the show. We're going to do another one later on for those who missed out or want to enjoy it again so go check out the schedule." With that said the gang head off backstage while the crowd disbanded to have fun at the other aspect of the carnival. They exited through the backdoor of the stage where they meet Dave who was smiling for the success of their performance and had six wristbands suited to their size while three others were for himself, Zoey and Ian. The other adults were there waiting for them as well then he handed out the wristbands to everyone.

There he clasped his hands together to let everyone know about his schedule plan "So you guys can go have fun and do what you want." He quickly took a look at his watch then put it away to say "Until four pm which will be close to our next act. But make sure you behave yourselves." This is where he quickly glance at Alvin but his irresponsible son looked away to pretend that he didn't notice it or as if he didn't know what it meant, though of course the chipmunk one hundred percent knew what it was for. They all looked at each other and gave a nod in agreement then they split up to different places.

Simon, Jeanette and Zoey all followed each other as they saw a petting zoo that they wanted to visit. Surprisingly, the place was cleaner and free of any horrendous odors then they expected which is probably due to the hard work of the staff. There were a variety of farm animals like pigs, horses, cows, sheep and so forth. They came up to the animal pens and gave them a gentle rub on the head. It felt so soft and fuzzing that it was satisfying for them to do. Everyone started circling around a certain pen that contain a cow and her calf who were peacefully slumbering so all who looked awed quietly for the truly adorableness it was.

Meanwhile

Alvin was hiding behind the legs of a random stranger in a line towards a rollercoaster. He tried to avoid being spotted because he would know that they wouldn't allow him on the ride as it wasn't physically able to keep him safe. Though he wasn't discouraged due to getting caught because he really wanted to feel the thrill of the ride and the excitement of it all. The person he was hiding behind came up to the ticket booth that had a guard there to examine people which distracted the guy which gave him the chance to rush off on all fours through the entrance of the place. Alvin stealthy crawled through the place while finding spots to hide then continue moving when the coast is clear. There he eventually get close enough to the train that he could climb in without anyone noticing. Luckily no one else hop into the car he was hiding in so he remained there until the ride was about to take off.

The train's ratchet restraints close down on the people to lock them in place except the chipmunk of course and the ride took off which Alvin could feel the speed shoving him back into his seat. They were slowly ascending into the highest point of the ride. People were feeling anxious as they anticipated the classical huge drop down after the long rise in height. When they reach the peak then immediately came the fall and his entire body was jolted against the front of the car. Next was the loop to loop where gravity caused him to drop out of his car but then he barely hung on to the restraints for dear life as the train returned reside up. Despite all these perils he still felt his blood rush and the exhilaration of it all which was a sensational feeling that continue for the rest of the fast pace ride in whatever direction it went.

Meanwhile

Theodore and Eleanor were searching around for something they would enjoy doing then they saw an arts and craft area. The two entered the venue were there was a table of papers of multiple colors and a book with simple instructions to turn that paper into different forms of origami. Eleanor made a dragon out of red paper in a fluid manner and did it quicker than anyone else would of done it. She also created a delightful red rose with a green leaf while on the other hand Theodore was poking his tongue out as he struggled to slip one end of the paper into a slot to create his origami. His counterpart notice this and had her paw over her mouth to giggle a bit so the Chipette gave him a helping paw. Eleanor assisted by moving individual parts of the paper and giving advice to the Chipmunk. He finally finished it and the paper became a mossy green apple with an emerald leaf. Theodore gratified by saying "Thanks Eleanor for helping."

The pigtail girl responded jokily with "Your welcome, just don't eat it." Then they both chuckled a little bit. She had both her arms behind her to pull out the paper red rose that was hidden on her back.

"Oh, it lovely," he said happily as he took it out of her paws and cherished it. They stayed there for some time having fun and being creative.

Meanwhile

Alvin was walking out of the exit of the rollercoaster cheering "Woohoo! That was awesome!" As he was strolling, there Brittany was sitting on a carnival stool heavily thinking about something. The Chipmunk climb up on top of the stool next to hers and asked her, "What are you doing?" She snapped out of it with a slight shock look and turned her attention to Alvin.

"Oh, I was just looking at which prize I wanted since I'm usually pretty good at this game." The game in front of them was called the Ring Toss where you throw a ring and have the hole go through the glass bottle. "I can't decide whether I want the red teddy bear or the pink teddy bear." It was thirty successful rings to get one of those medium size bears and the red teddy bear had sunglasses, a cap with a guitar while the pink one had a heart on its chest. There was even a red rc monster truck as well for the same requirement.

Alvin felt like challenging that statement as he said "Well I bet that I could beat you to that prize before you could."

Brittany scoff at that and threw her paw forward saying "Yeah right! I highly doubt that!"

He retorted back with "You're on!" as his faces inches aggressively closer to hers almost causing them to butt heads but not quite. Then they presented their wristband to the carer of the stand who gave them each forty rings. The Chipmunk used strong and fast throws while the Chipette used height and quick observation in her technique. The two for neck and neck but missed a couple of rings though Alvin came out on top with Brittany barely behind him in numbers. She had to stop since that was their agreement and was a bit upset that she didn't get the prize that she desired so much. The man stood aside to allow them to view the prizes and Alvin was moving his finger around still deciding on a prize. To her surprise he pointed at the pink teddy bear so the staff member pulled it down and handed it to him.

Despite their miniscule size, they could lift quite a bit and he didn't have too much trouble and gave it to his counterpart. "Why?" she asked curiously but also genuinely.

The teenage boy just shrugged his shoulders and said "I didn't really care about the prizes and I had a lot of fun. Plus you wanted that prize more than I did so I thought why not?"

The teenage girl smiled back to respond with "Thanks!" in a sincere way. There she turned her attention to the wall of prizes as she had yet to pick one and being barely behind thirty rings only allowed her to pick one of the smaller prizes. She pointed to a standard size water gun sidearm and received it to hand it over to Alvin.

He joyfully grab the water gun and responded gratefully "I love water guns, they're so fun. Thanks so much!" The duo hop off the stools to go regroup with the others with their gifts in paw. As they head off with Alvin behind Brittany, Alvin was having thoughts. He had a great time with her and wish it could be like that all the time. Plus she was truly gorgeous, a beauty to admire. But there was still more fun to be had at the carnival and the day wasn't over yet.

A/N: That a all for now until next time. This was certainly fun to write and I did use cliché with a bit of a twist on it but hey what can you do? It not like that were that many different ideas. The dance moves for Word Up was a mix of the music video and my own creativity based on the lyrics and I used ones from the Get Munked special feature of the original movie while giving it a bit more character personality for the Witch Doctor 2.0 song. It a shame that Witch Doctor 2.0 was never used in a movie so not as many people would be familiar with it.
