Author's Note: Before you read "The Adventures Of Angelica And Friends" you should read my one-shot "The Afterlife" and my fanfic "Matthew's Birthday: A Novelization" in order to better understand the events that lead up to this new fanfic.


While there was reason to be jubilant in California, a group of people in Mexico City were feeling despondent as they watched a news reporter for the Separatist News Agency say, "Good morning, well it's not a good morning, a tragedy has occurred today. A new Othersider has been born. Stephanie Ping Hirsch, daughter of Sam Hirsch and Jackie Hirsch Zhao is the newest threat to the Separatist Union. Several prominent figures in the union like Rosie Miller and Ronald Boxwood have all released public statements about this endeavor."

One of the three people sitting around a table, Ashley Rosario, a dark skinned woman with wavy hair in her early twenties, pointed at the television and exclaimed, "Ugh, another one! That makes seven!"

"God, I keep getting texts from my partners. Yes, I have heard of the new Othersider, I'm not stupid," Ashley said as she replied to a message from one of her accomplices.

It was at that point that the group's leader, Ronald Boxwood, entered the room with his wife rhetorically asking, "Hey hey hey, look who's back?"

"Kendall!" The entire room erupted as they were happy so see Kendall back after she had been arrested for disrupting an important event for the Othersiders the day before.

Another person in the room, Heather Burromuerto, asked Kendall, "So, how was California, people still fascinated about that excuse for a person?"

"Yeah," Kendall said as she replied sarcastically.

"It's not just California, I had a chance to sneak back into Flagstaff and get my stuff back, the streets were totally crowded. But now, we need to work on fixing this problem," Ronald said as he got into his chair at the table.

"Why don't we recruit someone new to our group, and show the Othersiders we mean business," Ashley recommended enthusiastically as she was eager to get back at the Othersiders.

Ronald replied, "That's an excellent idea. But I guess we are going to need a new chair."

After Ronald pointed out a small problem, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, replied in his East Asian accent, "How about that one?"

"Eh, no! You can no take away my chair," Jorge, a man with dark skin and a black moustache siting on the chair Kim referred to replied in a Mexican accent.

Kim was taken aback by the man's response and asked, "But you are a Janitor?"

"We prefer 'Custodian,' and I am on my..eh...break."

Kim wouldn't stand for Jorge's responses, so he pulled out gun and shot Jorge.

While everyone else looked at him in awe, Kim replied, "Looks like there is literally an empty chair."

"Good thinking Kim," Ronald replied with a congratulating look in his eyes.

At first the group thought that finding a new member for their group would be a piece of cake, unfortunately for them, that turned out to be false. For the remainder of the day, the five members of the group interviewed several people, but none of them met their standards.

Ronald put his iPad on the table, leaned back in his chair and exclaimed, "We've done all of these interviews and we have yet to find the person we want."

It was at that moment that the group heard a noise in the background; it was the voice of Tommy Pickles from the animated series Rugrats saying, "No, not even the zoo, not my brother. Oh, we gots to figure out how to get the old not strong Dilly back."

Alexandria Burromuerto, the daughter of Heather, watched what appeared on the screen of her phone and said, "Man, this show is fucking great. I wonder how these babies didn't die after escaping so many times, or why the parents didn't have their kids taken away for being so negligent."

"Hey Alexandria, can you keep it down? We're trying to work over here," Kim directed at the girl.

Heather jumped in and told Kim, "Don't bother; she's been binge-watching Rugrats all week. I couldn't get her to respond to me for the last few days."

"Sure, but you have to admit Rugrats is one hell of a show. Good, honest animation, much better than the crap we have today," Ashley added with her usual cynicism about contemporary television.

Ronald was quick to jump into this conversation and added, "You know, I was actually reading an article that said Rugrats was inspired by the life story of girl who died in 1994, and that girl was Angelica."

"Ah Angelica, now there's great storytelling right there. Even if the real life Angelica was half as good as the one on Rugrats, I'd still give her the job," Ashley said reminiscing about her childhood watching the Blonde-haired girl on television.

"Well, why don't we. Let's give her the job," Ronald replied.

His wife, Kendall Perkins, replied, "But like you said, she's dead Ronald."

"Sure, but that doesn't mean we can't bring her back. The Chinese have been working on technology that can help severely injured people properly live again. If we combine that new technology with some other kinds we could have Angelica in our group," Ronald suggested.

While the rest of the members looked and felt quite skeptical about the idea of resurrecting Angelica from the dead, Ronald added, "Look, all of our interviewees sucked and we literally have nothing to lose if we try this."

Once Ronald explained it in this manner, the group nodded in agreement, leading Ronald to get out of his chair and say, "Great. Guys, get ready, we leave in an hour. We're going to unearth a grave."
