(A/N: I'm soooo sorry I took so long to post this! Writing A Friar's Baby, which I'm stuck on, and writer's block are a bad combination. XD This story isn't categorized as a crossover, because it focuses much more on Rugrats than anything else. Enjoy! I hope...)

Lost in Manhattan

Prologue

Two-year-old Shenzi Tuck was skipping and running all over the house in which she lived, feeling joyous and giddy; She, her family, her friends, and their families were going on a vacation for Christmas, and she couldn't wait! For the plane ride, she was already clad in her pajamas, and white slippers with black mustaches on them, one on each. Her pajamas consisted of a footless onesie with long, black legs, short, puffed, black sleeves, a black and red tutu with a plaid waistband, and a green torso with a black and white tattoo electric guitar design. The sash around the guitar read "My Daddy Rocks" in small, black letters. Her signature purple, ribbon bow was in her long, wild, black hair.

She spun in circles by her room, but what she saw in it made her stop; Her daddy Friar Tuck was in there, with suitcases on the floor, and on her and her older sister Frankie's beds. She wobbled in the room, feeling a bit tipsy from her spinning, and looked at the suitcases when he didn't seem to notice her. It was understandable, though; Her slippers were quiet on the carpeted floor, and she didn't speak a word. Being sneaky, she opened one of the suitcases, and held up the top half with both hands above her head as she looked in. She saw varied-sized boxes wrapped in festive paper with shiny ribbon. When she saw that she was still unseen, she leaned in for a closer look. Little did she know, having her back to her daddy, and having her arms up was a bad idea.

Just as Friar Tuck finished packing his oldest daughter Frankie's clothes, he sensed another presence in the room; He looked, and smiled when he saw his youngest daughter standing there. But then he saw what she was doing: Looking in the suitcase that contained her presents! He was thankful that they were already wrapped, but he had to quickly stop her before she can see too much, although at the same time, he didn't want to hurt or scare her. He quietly walked up behind her, and knelt down to her level, hoping that his shadow was in her sight, so he wouldn't startle her. He started lowing his hands down, and… "What are you doing?" He said in a playful tone, as he quickly started tickling her.

Shenzi let out a loud squeal, and burst into giggles, dropping the suitcase lid down, as she tried to shield herself with her tiny arms and hands. "Ehehehehehehehe!" She safely fell on her back, her dark hair spreading out and flying in all directions as she squirmed, kicked her legs, and thrashed her head all around. He stopped after a few seconds; She propped herself up with one hand, as she caught her breath.

"You weren't snooping in there, were you, little Missy?" He playfully smirked at her, as she sat up.

"No," She giggled mischievously. Ever since she first began to speak, her only response to any question directed to her was "No." To him and his wife Felicia, it was adorable. She and Frankie were the most precious babies in the world in his eyes. If only he knew then that once his youngest was in her pre-teen and teen years, she was going to experience a severe lack of self confidence. (Spoiler alert?)

"Sure you weren't," He chuckled as he patted her head, making her giggle some more.

She then scampered right out of the room, while panting excitedly. He didn't know where she was going, but he wasn't too worried; The whole house was baby-proofed for the little girls' safety. "Well, hey there, ShenWen!" He smiled when he heard Felicia's voice from their bedroom. "You excited about our vacation?"

"No," He heard Shenzi respond, and Felicia giggled at her silliness.

"I am!" Two and a half-year-old Frankie yelled out happily. She had started speaking in very short sentences just recently. Both girls were growing up fast.

When Friar Tuck finished packing for the babies, he grabbed the suitcases, and walked in the master bedroom where the girls were. Frankie appeared to be helping Felicia pack, while Shenzi was crawling on the bed. Frankie was wearing her Christmas pajamas for the flight, consisting of a pink, long-sleeve shirt, black pants, and white, green, and pink Hello Kitty socks. Her blonde hair was in two ponytails with green bow bands. Her pants had green, pink, and blue present boxes printed all over, and her shirt said "Santa's Little Helper" on the front.

In "Santa's", the first "S" was red with white stripes, the first "a" was green, and had a ribbon like a present, the "n" was simply light pink, the "t" was green with an elf hat, the second "a" was white, and the second "s" was red with elf legs and shoes. In "Little", the first "L" was white, the "i" was black with a green ornament for the top, the first "t" was white with the second being green, the second "l" was pink, and the "e" was red with a green and white striped candy cane. In "Helper", the "H" was green, the first "e" was black with a pink two-tone elf hat, and red elf shoes, the "l" was light green, the "p" looked like a red and white striped, rectangular present with blue ribbon, the "second "e" was red with a blue ornament, and the "r" was green.

"You ladies almost ready?" He asked them all.

"Just about," Felicia smiled, "I'm getting a little assistance." She patted their oldest daughter's head for emphasis. "Shen seems a bit… sloth-ish, though," She giggled.

"'Oth!" Frankie giggled. Her baby sister was playfully rolling and crawling on the bed at a rapid pace; If she wasn't wearing a one-piece, then her underwear would be visible.

"She must be excited about the trip," Felicia remarked amusedly, as she just finished her packing with Frankie. "Okay, we're all set!"

From the bed, Shenzi suddenly gasped and sat up, catching their attention. "'Ait!" She jumped down on the floor, tumbled a bit (but not getting hurt), and dashed into the nursery. When she came back, she was carrying her special, plush cat in one hand, and her mini Scraps Stitches n' Sewn LaLaLoopsy doll in the other. "'Eady!" (A/N: Let's pretend that LaLaLoopsy dolls are safe for two-year-olds, shall we?)

Just then, Frankie ran into the nursery without a word. Seconds later, she ran back in, carrying her own mini LaLaLoopsy Mittens Fluff n' Stuff doll in one hand. "I ready, Mommy!"

"Okey-dokey then," Felicia bent down, and picked up the little blonde, and the black-haired child. "Let's get to it."

"No! No! No! No!" Shenzi exclaimed, while smiling, as she started squirming in her hold. "Daddy!" It made Friar Tuck's heart melt every time she and Frankie said "Daddy." He knew Felicia felt the same way when they said "Mommy."

"Alright, alright," Felicia giggled; She stepped closer to her amused husband, and let him take the youngest girl. "She hates me," She joked with a giggle.

"No she doesn't," He chuckled, as Shenzi leaned on his shoulder with her cat and doll in her lap. "She just has to get used to you, that's all." Shenzi cooed before she stuck her tiny thumb in her mouth, holding her toys to her chest with her other arm. "Come on, let's get these in the car, and to the airport."

"Yay!" Shenzi and Frankie cheered simultaneously with joy.

Once all the luggage was in the trunk, and the toddlers were in their baby seats, the family set off for the airport. A pink hoodie with "Daddy's Girl" on the back was put on Shenzi to keep her warm.

When they arrived, they met their friends in the parking lot; The Goofs, the Zimmeruskis, and their own children. The kids were in their own Christmas-themed pajamas, with the Zimmeruski twins matching in blue, and Santana's being pink, of course. "We're all ready," Felicia smiled, as she opened the side door to fetch the sleeping girls. Friar Tuck was getting their luggage out. "The girls were pretty excited about this trip," She remarked, unlocking Shenzi's seat belt, and lifting her out, making sure that her toys wouldn't fall out of her lap. After George Goof held the child for her, she took Frankie out of the car.

"Santana was too," George said to them.

"When do we get on the plane, Daddy?" Three-year-old Santana asked him excitedly.

"We will soon, princess," He assured her, "It won't leave without us."

Out of one of the cars, Goofy pulled out a Foundations Quad Sport Splash of Color 4-Passenger Stroller in Red, and unfolded it with some struggle. Once it was set, Bobby and Roxy Zimmeruski were set in the two front seats, while George sat Shenzi in the right back seat. Felicia set Frankie in the left back seat soon after. Maxie and Matt Goof were being carried by Goofy and Gigi Goof, respectively.

Once everyone's luggage was good to go, and Friar Tuck figured out where Shenzi and Frankie were, the group headed inside. On the way in, as Bobby and Roxy babbled to each other (to the adults, at least), Shenzi and Frankie woke up from their nap. They were a bit surprised at their new surroundings, but stayed calm when they saw their parents ahead. To occupy themselves, they started talking to their dolls, showing them around the area.

When they got their tickets, the group sat at the waiting area, with Goofy keeping the stroller close by, since he had a seat at one end. When little whimpers were heard from the stroller, the adults looked, and saw that Shenzi was grimacing, and squirming in her seat, her eyes squeezed shut, with Frankie watching her.

"'O-'otty!" The dark-haired child squeaked out.

"I'm on it," Friar Tuck smiled; He lifted her out of the stroller, set her cat and doll in her seat, and rushed her into the family restroom.

When they came back out, Shenzi was smiling again. "All better!" She exclaimed, making the adults chuckle or giggle at her cuteness. She was set back in her stroller seat, and her cat and doll were given back to her.

"Whoo!" Kellie Zimmeruski exclaimed at a certain smell, "I'd better excuse little Bobby too." She lifted Bobby out of the stroller, grabbed a clean diaper out of her carryon bag, and headed for the restroom.

"Are we going on the plane yet?" Santana asked again, with her Cynthia doll in one hand.

"Not yet, pumpkin," George told her, "I don't think it'll be too long."

"Just a little heads-up," Goofy spoke up, "Depending on how late we arrive, we might snooze overnight before our vacation oh-fficially begins."

"Sounds good to me," George nodded.

After Kellie and Bobby came back, all that was heard was chatter from other people, and the babies' coos. "Uh oh," Shenzi babbled when she accidentally dropped her doll on the floor.

"I got it." Goofy stood up, and gave the girl her doll back.

"Ay!" She cooed, trying to say thanks.

"No problem, kiddo." He patted her head, and sat back in his seat.

Little did they know, on the other side of California, another group of families and friends with babies were set to fly to a vacation destination for the holidays.

"Are we getting on the plane yet?" Three-year-old Angelica Pickles asked the adults.

"Not yet, pumpkin," Drew Pickles patted his daughter's head, "We will be soon."

"Where do you think we're going, you guys?" Two-year-old Chuckie Finster wondered aloud. His favorite teddy bear, nicknamed Wah-Wah, was in his little arms and lap.

"I heard we're going to New Pork City!" One and a half-year-old Kimi Finster told them with excitement in her voice.

"Where is New Pork City?" One-year-old Tommy Pickles asked her.

"Um, I, I dunno," Kimi shrugged, "But we're going in a pane, so it must be far! I heard my mommy call it the Big Apple; It must have a giant apple!"

"Aren't apples hard?" One and three-fourths-year-old Lil DeVille wondered aloud.

"Nah, they're soft," Lil's twin brother Phil claimed.

"Apples are hard, Philip!" Lil retorted.

"Soft, Lillian!"

"What else do you think New Pork City has?" Tommy wondered aloud over the arguing twins.

"I dunno, but it sounds fun!" Kimi smiled.

"Sounds scary to me," Chuckie hugged his bear tighter with nervousness.

"Don't worry, Chuckie," Tommy patted his friend's shoulder with assurance, "We'll be fine. Who knows? We just might make some new friends!"

Little did they know, they were going to do just that.

(A/N: I would've added more to that last statement, but I didn't want to give away any important future events. I know this isn't great, but it'll get better! None of the characters belong to me except Shenzi, Frankie, Felicia, Santana, Matt, and Gigi. The rest belong to Disney, or Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo, and Paul Germain.

Just a little heads-up: This story will contain elements from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. ;)

Shenzi is 98% human, with her only non-human features being her ears, nose, and skin color.)
