I do not own Rugrats/All Grown Up!
This is my first story, so enjoy!
Chapter One: Drama
"Thomas Pickles! You get your ass back in there and apologize to her!" Lil yelled to him as he was walking down the the schools hallway. Tommy lifted his hand up and gave her the finger before turning and smirking at her "I have nothing to apologize for!"
Li ran down the hall and grabbed his arm turning him to face her. "You know damn well that you do! She was crying when I left. Want to know why? Because her 'oh-so-perfect' boyfriend is a douche!" Tommy looked down at her and chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" she was glaring at him trying to get her point across. Tommy shook his head and turned to walk away. Lil grabbed his arm again and he made eye contact with her, she could see the anger in his eyes. She pushed him into the lockers and stood in front of him "Listen here, Pickles. I don't care what she does to you. She cheats on you? Fuck it. I don't care. You're a man. Suck it up. But you cheating on her and making her cry is a different story. You've never been a coward before. So why now? Be a man. Suck up all your pride and go apologize or I will personally castrate you"
Tommy looked into her eyes and could tell how mad she was. He knew she was serious. But he also knew he wasn't going to let her win this.
"You listen to me, DeVille." he took a few steps forward causing Lil to back into the wall behind her "What if I don't want to be with her? Did that thought ever cross your mind? Sure it was a douche move to cheat on her, but there's no way in hell I'm breaking up with her. And think of this..." Tommy took another step forward and put a hand on her waist "I want you. And I know damn well that you want me. Why not make it happen?"
"You are so full of yourself." she rolled her eyes and pushed him away "If you want any chance, apologize." Tommy watched Lil as she walked down the hall back to her cheer practice. He rolled his eyes and ran a frustrated hand through his hair and started walking in the same direction to find Kimi.
Tommy walked into the gym where the cheerleaders were practicing. He watched them for a few minutes getting some flirtatious smiles from some of the girls. He walked over to Lil and grabbed her arm "Call a break or something"
Lil rolled her eyes and crossed her arms "Why? So you can hurt my best friend some more?"
"No, so I can apologize. You want that, right?" Lil studied his face before turning around "Okay girls, take a five minute break" she turned back to Tommy "You better make it fast" Lil walked away to talk to some of the other cheerleaders.
He walked up to Kimi who had puffy red eyes from crying "Tommy! I'm so sorry for whatever I did to make you-"
"Stop apologizing. That's why I'm here. I'm sorry, Kim. I was being stupid and not thinking. I love you" he watched as her face lit up. He had never told her he loved her before.
"Oh Tommy!" she threw her arms around his neck and he picked her up, kissing her.
"I love you too" she said smiling at him. He put her down and Lil walked over "So you two kissed and made up, can I get my girls back to practice now? We kind of have a competition tomorrow" Kimi put her arm around Tommy's waist and smiled at Lil.
"Anything for the princess" Tommy said smirking at Lil before kissing Kimi again and leaving.
Lil shook her head as she watched Tommy leave "I don't see what you see in him" Kimi shrugged and went back to her spot before Lil started clapping saying it was time to continue practice.
Tommy was over at Phil and Lil's house later that day. Him and Phil were out back throwing a football around "How are you and Kimi?"
"We're okay. Now" Tommy threw the ball to Phil and then sat down. "What do you mean now?"
"Shit happened. We got in a fight, and now everything is fine." he picked up his bottle of water and took a big sip.
"Excuse me, Phillip. But I need to borrow Tommy" Lil opened the back door and said. Phil stood up and walked inside "He's all yours."
"And what does the royal pain want now?" he asked standing up and walking over to her. Lil hit him in the arm "You're so full of shit!"
"What did I do now?" Lil hit him again and glared at him "You don't love her! Why would you tell her you love her?!"
"So you're spying on our conversations now?" he raised his eyebrows and waited. "No stupid, she told me! Why would you lie to her about something so important?!"
"You wanted me to apologize, so I did. I made the apology as believable as possible and it involved a lie. Are you made that I apologized?"
Lil shook her head and sighed in frustration "You're so irritating, Tommy! You're smarter than this. Don't be so stupid!"
"There's just no pleasing you, is there? I don't apologize and you yell at me. I do apologize and still get yelled at! Make up your damn mind!" Lil gave Tommy a look and by that look he could tell that she wanted to hurt him "You're being an idiot!"
"And you're being a bitch, but you don't see me complaining!" Lil took a step toward him and he looked down at her making eye contact "You're going to fix things with her"
"Things are fixed!" Tommy was getting irritated and mad and Lil could tell. The two continued arguing until Betty came out.
"What are you two kids arguing about? We can hear you a mile away!" Lil crossed her arms and glared at Tommy and he glared right back. "I was leaving. I'll see you later Mrs. DeVille" Tommy gave her his best smile and walked past her and out the front door.
Phil was up in his room on the phone with someone.
"Yeah, they were just in a heated argument over god knows what. I'm pretty sure Tommy just left though." he waited as the girl said something and he let out a laugh "I'll see you later"
Lil was sitting in her room when there was a knock on her door "Come in" she laid her magazine down and looked up to see Kimi.
"Kimi! I didn't know you were coming over" she smiled and made room for her friend on her bed "I just needed someone to talk to."
"What's going on? What did Tommy do now?" Kimi looked at Lil and could tell that she was starting to get mad. "Not Tommy. Just stuff in general... Have you ever loved someone more than they loved you?" Lil looked at her best friend with concern. "Why are you asking this?" Kimi shrugged and looked at her hands
"I just feel like I love Tommy more than he loves me..." Lil pulled Kimi into a hug. "Tommy does love you. He's just a douche. Deep down you know that's all he is. But besides being a douche, Tommy does have a heart and he loves you so much." Lil gave Kimi a reassuring smile and Kimi pulled her into another hug.
"I guess that's true.. But I will always think I'm putting more into the relationship than he is.."
"That part is probably true. But he'll come around. And if not, just hurt him." Lil shrugged and smiled leaning back against her headboard. Kimi stood up and was getting ready to leave when Lil stopped her "Stay the night. Tommy is. Plus, we have competition in the morning"
"Movies?" Lil nodded and got out of bed and walked to Phil's room "Come on you two. We're watching movies" Kimi already made her way to the living room. Neither of them knew she was here. "The princess wants to watch movies with us?" Tommy asked smirking.
"The princess and your girlfriend. Get down there and spend time with her!" Lil turned and walked down the stairs. Phil looked at Tommy and shook his head "You two have an odd friendship" Tommy nodded and got up to go downstairs, Phil right behind him.
The four of them sat on the couch. Phil was on one end and then Kimi, Tommy and Lil. Kimi and Lil decided on a horror movie, The Ring, and made some popcorn before the boys came downstairs. Phil and Kimi were sharing a bowl of popcorn and Tommy and Lil were sharing.
A little ways into the movie Lil went to get some popcorn and touched Tommy's hand. He smirked and looked at her "If you really wanted to hold my hand all you had to do was ask." he whispered to her and Lil rolled her eyes and pulled her hand away "In your dreams"
The movie was coming to an end and Kimi was holding onto Tommy's arm. He smiled at her and put his arm around her. The end is what really scared her. Tommy smirked and looked down at her while Lil was putting in another movie. "So, are you convinced she's going to come after you next?" Kimi rolled her eyes and hit him.
"It's just a movie. I know nothings going to happen" Tommy took his arm off her shoulder and leaned forward reaching for his drink "Are you sure about that?" he looked at her and could tell she was a little scared. Phil slowly walked up behind the couch and grabbed Kimi's shoulders causing her to scream.
"You guys are such jerks!" she yelled hitting them both. Lil laughed and put the next movie in. "What are we watching now?" Phil asked and Lil gave him a mischievous smile and turned her attention back to the TV. Phil thought about it and figured she put on a chick flick. "Lillian you didn't"
"Oh Phillip, I did." the movie started and the two boys groaned. She put on The Notebook. Lil looked at Tommy and smiled "This is payback for scaring Kimi." Tommy groaned again and threw his head back.
