Notes: Rugrats!AU
Their hiding place had been discovered. What on Earth were they going to do now?
It started like an ordinary day. Well, as ordinary as a baby shower could be. Lee thought that he and his friends were gonna get to take baths or something, but he heard it was to celebrate his mommy getting the gift of a baby girl.
So Lee enlisted his friends George, Fred, and Alicia to sneak around and keep watch on the presents people were bringing. One of them had to have his sister stuffed inside. This is how they found themselves hiding under a table with torn wrapping paper and weird grown up stuff.
"Maybe she has special wrapping," Alicia suggested.
Suddenly, the sheet was thrown up from the table, revealing a kid with red hair that matched the twins. The big kid's face looked menacing as he grinned at the babies.
"Well, well, well," he said, "look at what I found. Trying to hide away from your future, Jordan?"
"Leave Lee alone, Percy," George stated.
"Yea, leave Lee alone, Percy," Fred said, placing a hand on his hip. Alicia folded her arms and looked at Percy with a frown.
Lee shifted his bare feet as Percy continued. "Whatever," Percy said, "just wait until the grown-ups find out what you're doing. You're gonna be in so much trouble."
The babies looked at one another. With no hesitation, the babies each threw their heads back and began to cry loudly. Percy muttered "dumb babies" before huffing and letting go of the sheet, concealing the babies back in their hiding spot.
With Percy gone, the babies ceased their tears and went to cheer. However, the sheet once again was pulled up; instead this time it was the twins' mother staring at them.
"What are you lovelies doing under here?" she asked as she reached for George and Fred. The two tried to scramble away, but they were no match for their mother's quick reflexes. "You're going to miss the cake hiding away from everyone," she continued, taking the babbling twin babies away.
Alicia and Lee looked at one another. Alicia's eyes were wide. "There's cake?" she asked Lee with excitement in her tone. She grabbed Lee's wrist and tugged him behind her. "Come on, Lee, we have to get to the cake before Percy does! We'll finish the stake-y out later!"
Lee knew that he really wanted to finish keeping an eye out for those presents; one of them was holding his baby sister in them after all. He also knew that he wouldn't win this one. When his best friend really wanted something, how could he say no?
Sighing with a small smile, Lee nodded at the girl tugging his arm. "Okay," he said, "let's go get cake."
Alicia's eyes brightened as she cheered. "Yay! Cake!"
"But we finish the stake-y out right after," Lee added.
Alicia nodded. "Promise." The baby then proceeded to drag Lee off to find that cake.
