Author's Note: Before we begin, there's a few things I'd like to point out. First of all, this is indeed, my first time ever writing a major story to use the Doug and Ren and Stimpy characters, so my apologies if I get anything out of character or out of place, the same goes for misspellings that I don't catch. Also, this story picks up more or less, where the Nickelodeon series of Doug left off, however, I should point out that it's going to be more or less, my interpretation of how the series should have continued, not what happened when Disney took over the series. Thus, I apologize to fans of Doug when it moved to Disney's hands, if anything should appear as uncannon, and I strongly recommend that only people who were fans of Nickelodeon's Doug, along with Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy read this story, as I can safely say, that I'm pretty sure that fans of Disney's Doug, are liable to be royally disappointed. It should also be noted, that I'm going to do my best, to put any of Doug's journal entry narrations into italics, with the rest of the story in the normal fashion I usually present it in when doing a story of a normal POV. With that out of the way, let's get started with my first multi-chapter story to be released to Fan Fiction in several months!

Doug Babysits the Rugrats

Summary: While traveling home from a trip, the Rugrats gang's RV breaks down near the exit to Bluffington. While getting the RV fixed, it's up to Doug and Skeeter, to watch the Rugrats, Angelica included. However, they have

tickets to their second Beets concert in Bloatsberg. Will they make it in time? Special appearance from the Ren and Stimpy characters in this story, and this story is being written, to commemorate the 25th. anniversary of the

release of the 3 original Nicktoons, coming up on 8/11/16.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from Doug, Rugrats, and Ren and Stimpy, they're the property of their original creaters. I only own any OC's you don't recognize.

Chapter 1, Intro and Title Card

Dear Journal,

Have you ever noticed the feeling of de ja vue?

In Doug's imagination, he's recalling a flashback to where he was Smash Adams. At the time, Smash is bording a large coach bus dragging a rather large black suitcase behind him up the steps. Before he can find a seat, the bus driver stops him. He appears to be the same bus driver who was seen driving the K Bluff Beets Bus in the episode, 'Doug's Hot Ticket.'

"Excuse me Mr. Adams, but I believe we need to stoe away that suitcase under neath the bus." The bus driver said.

Smash Adams gave the bus driver an angry glare before clearing his throat, keeping his composure, as he gripped tighter to the handle of the suitcase.

"I'm sorry sir, but this suitcase must remain with me at all times." Smash Adams replied.

"Well, perhaps this ought to change your mind." The bus driver said in an evil tone of voice, sticking his foot out, ready to kick Smash Adams in the stomach.

Dodging the kick, Smash jumped out of the way into the isle of the bus, only to let go of the suitcase in the process. The suitcase topples down the steps into a street of oncoming busy traffic. Just then, a large truck rolls on top of the suitcase, just as the picture fades to black.

A door opens on the left-hand side of the screen to reveal a white rectangle with black shadows of Doug and Porkchop appearing in the doorway. Porkchop barks and Doug reaches his hand in where he flips on a light, illuminating the room where the Doug title card appears, and the familiar theme music plays in the background.

"That's me!" Doug cries, as he stands to the left of his title card name, and Porkchop, carrying a paint bucket and a brush, runs across the screen to the right-hand side.

As he wizzes past Doug's name, in smaller letters beneath it appears the words, Babysits the Rugrats as the familiar theme music for the title sequence comes to an end, and Porkchop brushes his paint brush across the screen, forming the letters of the title of the story. At that moment, Porkchop splatters black paint on to the title card, then rases back towards Doug on the left-hand side of the screen, leaving black paint paw prints on the floor. Doug switches off the light, making the screen go black with only the white light from the hallway coming through on the left-hand side, as Porkchop let's out one final bark and Doug slams the door shut, causing the screen to go completely black, before getting on with the rest of the story.

And the story will continue in the next chapter, so please, do stay tuned!

Author's Note: I had to do a traditional opener to an episode of Doug, I hope I did okay with this. And yes, the sequence we witnessed here, you'll be seeing again in a later chapter as the flashback of the events told about in Doug's journal unfold in real time, as I had this story open up similarly to how such episodes as 'Doug Saves Roger,' and 'Doug's Bad Trip,' opened up. The only difference here, is while in the two episodes I referenced in my author's note, they were real events that took place, I decided to have an event from Doug's imagination be the flashback here.
