"This is gonna be a boring field trip..." Alvin groaned.

"I think it'll be lots of fun," Simon smiled. "A museum!"

"Museums are fun!" Jeanette added.

Alvin and Brittany just rolled their eyes at their brainy siblings.

"Maybe it will be fun." Theodore said.

"Yeah, come on, guys." Eleanor added.

"Beats staying in class all day..." Alvin sounded exhausted already.

Cherry and Atticus were coming down the street now.

"Are you two the chaperons?" Ms. Dunlop asked them.

"Yeah, I'm Darla's older brother." Atticus replied.

Darla smiled once she saw him and she hugged him instantly.

"Hey there, sis." Atticus said before hugging her back.

Patch then came in, already knowing he was coming along. Cherry hid Patch away from the teacher.

"And who are you?" Ms. Dunlop asked her.

"I guess I'm a friend of the family's..." Cherry shrugged slightly.

"In a way, yes, but she's also kind of like a member of the family." Atticus said.

Cherry shrugged with one hand.

"The buses should be here soon." Ms. Dunlop checked the time.

"Wahoo!" The kids cheered.

"You guys are going on the field trip too?" Cherry was surprised to see the Chipmunks and Chipettes.

"Well, of course we are," Eleanor smiled. "This is our class after all."

"How's Olivia?" Cherry asked the Chipettes.

"She's great," Brittany smiled with her eyes sparkling. "We got to be in her wedding, oh, it was so much fun!"

"Cool." Atticus said.

"So glamorous..." Brittany swooned.

"Are you gonna be a Bridezilla?" Alvin teased.

Brittany scowled and was about to hurt him, but her sisters held her back. "Lemme at him! Lemme at him!"

"Let it go, let it go, he's not worth it." Jeanette said, trying to calm her older sister down.

"Yeah, it's gonna be alright..." Eleanor added.

Brittany scowled as she was held back. But she then began to calm down and decided to agree with her sisters and just let it go. Alvin just laughed at Brittany, but his brothers scolded him for making fun of her.

Soon enough, the school buses had arrived.

"Okay everyone, stick with your buddies." Ms. Dunlop called once she got on the bus first, taking the front seat.

'This is so exciting.' Patch thought to himself.

The kids paired up by two and went on the bus with their teacher. Cherry and Atticus took the other front seat while the kids went to sit where they wanted. Ms. Dunlop took the class role call sheet to make sure everyone was on board.

"How much longer?" Patch whispered.

"However long it takes..." Atticus whispered back.

This just caused for Patch to groan out of being bored.

Atticus shushed him.

"Okay, we're all here," Ms. Dunlop said after taking attendance. "Let's go now."

The driver nodded and closed the doors, driving the bus to Bloomsberry Museum.

"Oh, finally!" Darla was the most relieved out of all the kids.

"You can say that again." Patch whispered.

The bus drove off and the others talked about their own little conversations. Cherry slowly shut her eyes, she then took out her handheld gaming device and played a video game. Atticus dozed off to see if it would help to make it go faster.

"Have you been to a museum before, Darla?" Amber asked.

"Kinda..." Darla shrugged. "When I lived in Hollywood, I was there for an unveiling of one that had wax statues of other movie stars and icons."

"Wow." Amber said out of amazement.

"Yeah, I don't suppose they have those in this museum." Darla put her hand under her cheek against the window.

"I don't think so." Amber chuckled a little.

"True." Darla said.

"Well, I can't wait to see the princess exhibit," Brittany smiled as she looked between the girls from her seat. "Maybe I'll end up being the long-lost princess of the Romonovs!"

"Sorry, Brittany, but I think Anastasia's beat you there." Amber slightly narrowed her eyes at the female chipmunk.

"Hmph!" Brittany folded her arms.

"Cinderella's step-sister was a princess?" Darla looked to her best friend.

"Not that Anastasia," Amber laughed a little. "This Anastasia was the granddaughter of the Dowager Empress Marie."

"Ohh." Darla said.

"There's a rumor that Aunt Anita and I are descended from them..." Amber had to wonder now.

"Hm..." Darla smiled, that would be an interesting adventure.

"Oh, how come those two get to be princesses and not me?" Brittany sighed.

"Poor Britt." Eleanor rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, poor Britt." Jeanette added.

"You don't know, maybe you might be a descendant of a secret princess." Patch whispered.

"Who said that?" Brittany could've sworn she heard something.

Patch then kept hiding until they were at the museum.

"Must have just been my imagination." Brittany said.

Eleanor nodded, but she put her finger to her lips as she saw Patch, but she wasn't going to expose him to the teacher. Patch nodded to her and kept quiet, he really liked the girl, she was always so sweet and kind to others, she was a lot like Fluttershy, only she was more assertive and never afraid of Brittany's wrath unlike Jeanette.

'Oh, I hope there gets to be a surprise during this trip.' Patch thought to himself.

The bus ride went smoothly and within half an hour, they were at the museum.

Ms. Dunlop, Cherry, and Atticus got out first and let the students walk single file together to get inside this establishment.

"No pushing or shoving, please." Ms. Dunlop told her students.

"Can I come out now?" Patch asked.

"Almost..." Cherry replied.

Ms. Dunlop smiled as the students came out and they were on their way into the museum.
