Angelica's Adventure Part One: a Rugrats FanFic
Disclaimer, Rugrats belongs to its owners and no infringement is intended. Zack Wehrenberg belongs to Celrock.
Angelica Pickles stood there all alone on the wet imaginary beach of the small desert island. Lonely because no one ever wanted to be around her, she just stood there in the wind and rain gazing out at the ocean until a small boat appeared on the horizon. In the boat were people she knew, happy and always together having adventures. But always without her and this made her sad and sadness always turned to anger. And anger always led to bad things.
Tommy, Dil, Chuckie, Kimi, Phil, Lil and Zack were all on a small boat being thrown about by massive waves. Thunder clasped and heavy rain fell from the dark sky. The wind was so strong that the Rugrats could barely stand.
"We has to turn around and get outs of this storm, Captain Tommy" said Chuckie.
"No!" said Tommy, "if we don't gets the treasure now, Admiral Angelica will surly steal it and keep it all for herself!"
"And knowing Angelica, that's exactly what she'll do" said Zack Wehrenberg angrily. Out of all the Rugrats, the intelligent blond boy definitely liked Angelica the least.
"Forward Dilly!" ordered Tommy.
"Aye, aye, Captain Tommy!" said Dil pickles excitingly and cranking up the engines.
"Land Ho!" shouted Zack Wehrenberg as he pointed towards a distant island.
Chuckie looked like he was going to be seasick. "I thinks I'm going to be sick" he said.
"Well don't throws up" said his sister, Kimi, looking through a spy glass, "because we are almost there."
Meanwhile, Phil who was fishing had caught something. "Wow!" he said, "a worm fish!"
"There's no such thing as worm fishes, Philip!" scolded Lil, his twin sister.
"Yes there is, Lilian!" Phil snapped back.
"Are not!"
"Are to!"
"Are not!"
"Are to!"
"We're going to crash!" screamed Tommy.
Suddenly the boat crashed into a huge rock and all the Rugrats were thrown onto the wet beach. They all looked up at the dark jungle in front of them.
"We made it" said Tommy, pulling a piece of sea weed out of his new purple hair. "Come on guys" he said, "let's get the treasure."
After walking a little ways the babies stumbled upon a giant temple with two marble statues of Reptar on each side of its entrance. They walked up the stairs and in to the temple. But as they entered the grand hall a surprised and disappointed look fell upon Tommy's face. The pedestal, where the treasure was supposed to be, had nothing on it.
"What… where's the treasure!" said the little leader.
"Looking for this!" said an all too familiar girl's voce. The Rugrats turned around to see Angelica, Tommy's older cousin with the treasure, the brand new Super Duper Reptar Ball with glow in the dark pant and the ability to bounce higher than any other ball in the world, in her hands.
"Admiral Angelica!" shouted Kimi angrily.
"We should have known it was you, Yucky!" yelled Dil.
"Give me back my new ball!" demanded Tommy.
"If you want it?" said Angelica, "you have to get it! HEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She ran out of the temple and the others ran after her.
"You give that back right now, Angelica!" demanded Zack.
"Never, you dumb toe head!" screamed Angelica.
The chase continued for what seemed like forever until Tommy noticed something and the imaginary world turned back into his yard.
"Angelica, your shoe laces!" he shouted.
"Huh…" went Angelica an instant before she tripped over the untied lace. She and the ball flew in to the air as the others watched in horror. Angelica hit the ground first cutting her knee on a small twig. The ball came down a millisecond after and popped on another twig. The loud pop startled Spike, Tommy's dog, who ran barking and wining into a rack of planting pots and knocking it all over.
Thunder clasped in the distance (it was a rather gloomy day) as the babies ran over to Angelica whom was moaning and clutching her knee in pain.
"Angelica, are you all right?" asked Chuckie.
Angelica stood up; the cut on her knee was more of a scrape and not as bad as she thought.
"Y-yah I'm okay, I'm not a dumb baby you know." She said but she was pretty shaken.
Once it was clear that Angelica as okay the fact that Tommy's new Super Duper Reptar Ball was gone had set in. He ran over to where his new toy had popped and picked up a piece of what remained and looked at it with tears in his eyes.
"M-my ball" he said. He pointed at Angelica and yelled "you ruined my new ball! I waited a bazzilion years to get it and you ruined it just like you ruined my lamp and all my other favorite toys!" Tommy started to cry.
Angelica stood in guilty silence as Zack glared at her.
"You know something, Angelica" went Zack, "ever since I've meet you, you have been the meanest, nastiest, cruelest and ultimately evilest person I have ever known. I hate you Angelica, in fact I despise you with the hottest passion."
The others except Tommy, who was still sobbing over his brand new toy, nodded in agreement to Zack's statement.
"And you know what" continued Zack, "I sincerely hope that one day you'll be taught a lesson that'll make you regret ever being born."
Angelica looked at Zack nervously before looking at the ground in shame as Didi Pickles came running outside.
"What's going on here!" shouted Didi, Tommy's and Dil's mom and Angelica's aunt.
"Is everything all right!" called Stu Pickles, her husband, from inside.
Didi looked at the scene. Tommy was crying holding a piece of his new ball in his little hands. Spike was lying and whimpering, with a frightened look in his eyes, next to all of her beautiful flower pots she made herself all broken. The others, except Chuckie who looked frightened, were all glaring at Angelica.
"YUCKY!" screamed Dil, pointing at Angelica.
"What on Earth is going on out her, Chuckie?"
"W-we were p-playing and A-Angelica t-took Tommy's ball a-a-and…"
Didi caught Angelica shooting Chuckie a dirty but guilty look.
"Angelica Charlotte Pickles!" snapped Didi, "are you responsible for this!"
"It wasn't my fault, Aunt Didi!" protested the blond, "these dumb babies were…!"
"Stop calling us dumb!" shouted Tommy. Although he could barely speak to the adults, Didi could make out the word "stop".
"Angelica, we don't call others dumb, that's not nice!" scolded Didi as she picked up Tommy and tried to calm him down. Angelica looked at her feet in guilt.
Stu came out. "Hey what's all the… Oh No! Tommy's Super Duper Reptar Ball, I spent the last of my pay check on it!"
Tommy was starting to calm down in his mom's arms.
"I'm sorry champ" said Stu to Tommy, patting his head gently.
"Come on kids, let's go inside" said Didi before turning to Angelica, "and you, young lady are going to stand in the corner until your father arrives."
"I'm very disappointed in you, Angelica" said Stu sternly.
Angelica reluctantly followed her aunt and uncle inside when Zack said something to her.
"I personally hope that you get a never-ending time out and aren't allowed to eat anymore cookies for the rest of your life" said Zack.
"SHUT UP, ZACK!" screamed Angelica.
"Angelica, we do not raise our voices like that in the house!" scolded Didi, "now apologize to Zack!"
"Sorry, Zack" said the blond through her teeth as a tear ran down her cheek.
"Now go stand in the corner, I'm calling your father" said ordered Didi.
Angelica obeyed and walked over to one of the corners of the living room, sobbing quietly. About ten minutes later, Drew, Angelica's father and Stu's brother arrived. Didi told him what had happened and then he went to get his daughter whom was still standing in the corner of the living room.
"Angelica" Drew said sternly as she gave him that irritable look he was accustomed to. "Your Aunt Didi told me everything about your cousin's new ball and her planting pots, is it all true?"
Angelica stared at her dad with that look for a few seconds before sighing.
"Yes Daddy" she said with guilt in her voce.
"That is the final straw, young lady" Drew scolded, "we are going home right now, you are in deep, deep, trouble." He took Angelica's arm and walked over to Didi. "I'm sorry about your pots and Tommy's ball" he said to her.
"It's okay Drew, I'll see you again soon" said Didi.
"See you."
Drew took Angelica to his car, put her in her booster seat, and then climbed in to the driver's seat and started up the engine.
"Angelica" he said "you know what you did was very wrong and I'm afraid you are going to face the consequences."
"Do I still get dessert?" asked Angelica.
"No, you will get no dessert and you are grounded until further notice. I'm sorry Angelica but you are being punished. When we get home you will go straight to your room until dinner."
Tears ran down Angelica's face. "That's not fair!" she whined.
"I'm sorry" said Drew, "but life isn't always fair."
Angelica whined the whole way home. At least it wasn't her usual screaming tantrum cry thought Drew. Still, inside, he hated when he had to be stern with his Princess but he knew he had to.
Soon they arrived at his and Charlotte's home. It was now pouring rain so they had to run quickly inside where Charlotte was waiting. Angelica wasn't looking forward to seeing her mom just yet.
"Angelica" asked Charlotte sternly, "why do you look upset? What happened?"
"Tell her what happened young lady" said Drew.
"Do I have to?" protested Angelica.
"Listen here young lady, you tell me what happened right this instant!" snapped Charlotte.
"Okay" said the little girl in a shaken voice, "I ruined Tommy's new Reptar ball and made Spike run into aunt Didi's flower pots and break them."
"You know it seems you do nothing but cause me stress and embarrassment anymore!" Charlotte yelled at her daughter. "Like the time you threw your plate at the wall because we wanted you to eat broccoli, or the time you used Stu's voce changer to order all that junk food and stuff you weren't supposed to have! How about the time you went on your little 'crime spree' in the park when you ate all our sweets and stole that old man's birthday cake while the news was covering it! Do you know how mortified your hard working mom was that day, Angelica?!"
"I'm sorry, okay!" cried Angelica.
"Honey, calm down" protested Drew to his wife, "I've already taken care of this, I'm grounding her for the rest of the weekend and not letting her have..."
"No I will not calm down!" Charlotte snapped back, "I wanted a perfect daughter to carry on my corporate legacy and what do I get; a spoiled little brat who does nothing but case trouble!"
Angelica ran crying up to her room and slammed the door shut. Drew and Charlotte just stared at each other.
