Chapter 1- Happy Anniversary

Tommy and Kimi have been together for thirteen years (not counting the two when she left) but technically they've known each other for their whole lives. Most of the rugrats have jons now. Chuckie works as a manager for home loans, he isn't married yet but he is in a happy relationship with Lil in which he couldn't ask for another. He also plays lead guitar in a band called Paradise in Anarchy with Tommy, Phil, and Dil. Phil works as Suzie's guitarist/bass player and co-songwriter and goes on world tours with her. They are both growing some feelings for each other ;). Lil is a receptionist at Stark Industries and has become really good friends with Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Dil doesn't have a job since there are no jobs for alien hunting, he spends his time playing drums in Paradise in Anarchy and hopes to get a musical contract as a pianist and be like his idol Elton John. Stu and Didi hoped he could get a real job (and he would've if Phil and Lil wouldn't have dropped him on his head when he was a baby). Tommy has become an independent film director and musician who likes spending time with his girlfriend Kimi who is a bank manager.

It was Tommy and Kimi's thirteenth anniversary and both of them were at the mall looking for presents to give each other.

"Remember our rule Kimi, we can't tell each other what we got." Tommy said as he kissed her on the lips.

"It wouldn't be much of a surprise if we told each other silly!" she giggled. Tommy laughed and they both split up.

Tommy looked around the jewelry shop, he knew that Kimi wanted some sort of necklace and he found one for about 250 dollars but he also saw a nice ring that was worth the same. He thought for a second and decided to buy both, and then he exited the shop.

Meanwhile, Kimi was in Men's Warehouse looking at the type of watches they had available and found a watch that suited Tommy perfectly. "This is perfect" she said with a smile. The watch was 200 dollars, she paid for it and then she met up with Tommy at the food court, he bought some hot chocolate for the both of them.

"Hey hon, got a present yet?" asked Tommy.

"Yup, and it's staying with me till our anniversary." She said. "So you'll have to wait." She teased. Tommy chuckled at her and they both finished their drinks.

"Looking forward to tomorrow?" asked Tommy.

"Yeah, you, me, and our friends are going in the woods for winter camping." She said.

"And something better planned" murmured Tommy and luckily Kimi didn't hear what he just said. After they finished talking and drinking their drinks Tommy drove Kimi home. They soon got to her house and then Tommy spoke.

"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Wish I could sleep over but I need to pack for the trip." He said and kissed her. Chuckie soon walked out and opened Kimi's door for her.

"Hey guys, so the big anniversary is coming I see." He said

"I know, can't believe it's been thirteen years. I remember on Halloween years ago when you saw the TP+KF thing carved. Still makes me laugh to this day how you overreacted to me supposedly liking your sister." Tommy said which made Kimi and Chuckie laugh.

"Hey, ain't that what a big brother's supposed to do? Bare in mind Pickles I remember when we were younger and got lost in the woods and you were giving Dil more attention than us." Chuckie joked remembering the big adventure they had with the Reptar wagon.

"Well see you guys tomorrow," Tommy said as he drove away and both Kimi and Chuckie waved to him. When Tommy got home he saw Dil lounging on the couch and flipping through the TV.

"Hey Dilly are you ready for camp tomorrow?" he asked.

Yeah T, it's gonna be awesome for us but more for you and Kimi." Dil said. He then noticed the bag that Tommy was holding.

"What's that?" Dil asked.

"Oh, this is Kimi's present for our anniversary." He said "I hope she likes it…" he thought to himself. Tommy then went to his room and started packing his clothes and toiletries along with other various accessories including his iPod, both his chargers, a few DVDs, his video camera, and last but certainly not least his present to Kimi.

The next Morning- 7:00 AM

All of the gang was outside the Pickles house saying goodbye to their parents.

"Now Kimi I want you to be a good girl to Tommy. And Tommy please don't bring her back pregnant?" said Kira.

"Mom please everything's gonna be fine, and besides Tommy wouldn't do that to me." Kimi said as she kissed her mom on the cheek.

"Not at least until we're married." Tommy thought.

"Tommy, Dil be sure to always wear a coat it's really cold and I don't want you boys getting sick!" said Didi.

"Yes Mom…" they both said while rolling their eyes.

"You pups have a great time at camp, take lots of pictures." Said Betty hugging Phil and Lil.

"We will Mom" both the twins said. All of them then piled into Chuckie's van with Lil sitting in the passenger's seat next to him.

"Remember Chuckie be careful on the road I don't want you getting into a wreck." Chaz said to his son.

"Chaz Chuckie's not a teenager you do know that right?" asked Stu.

"Yeah… But I still can't believe how fast they grew!" he cried. They all then waved goodbye and Chuckie drove off.

"Damn, our parents can be a bit overprotective at times can't they?" said Tommy putting his arm around Kimi.

"At least our mom can be fun to hang out, but yeah she can be pretty protective as hell sometimes…" Phil agreed. Kimi then fell asleep on Tommy's shoulder and he comforted her.

Later- 9:00 AM

Kimi was wide awake and they were driving along the beautiful countryside with the sun surrounding the fields with gold rays. They then stopped at the railroad crossing when a sleek, old, and restored steam locomotive went passed them. Tommy got out his camera and took pictures of the train as it went passed them with its whistle echoing loudly across the whole countryside.

"Now that is probably one of the most amazing things I've ever seen" said Phil.

"Looked like something out of Thomas the Train." Said Lil.

"Except it had no face, not blue paint, and no number 1." Tommy laughed. "By the way Kimi happy anniversary" he said taking out the necklace he bought her.

"Oh wow, thank you Tommy! It's the one I always wanted." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I got something for you too." Kimi then took out his present and gave it to him which was a limited edition Reptar watch.

"Wow! A Reptar watch!" Tommy said enthused.

"It gets better if you open the shield." She told him and on the inside was a happy picture of her and him tohether.

"Thanks babe." Tommy said giving Kimi a kiss back. Then they finally reached Camp Everwood.

"Sheesh the last time we came here was when our parents forced us and we had to be a part of that crappy play with Angelica." Chuckie said. The others laughed as they remembered how bad Angelica was at her acting and Susie had to steal the show with her singing. Soon the camp counselor came out to them.

"Hello campers welcome to Camp Everwood, my name is Mac, I'm the camp counselor and producer." He said.

"Like we haven't heard that one before…" Murmured Phil.

"Any who, I'd like for you all to meet Greg, as our other camper Bean has gone missing." He said.

"And we all know why…" Murmured Chuckie.

"There will also be a stage show too." He said.

"Oh great…" They all said simultaneously. The last time they went to Camp Everwood they had to participate in the camp's horrible production of the lost settlers but again, thankfully Susie stole the show with her singing and Howard did some amazing singing too.

"Don't worry, none of you don't have to participate if you don't want to."

"Oh thank God…" Phil thought happily. Then they all went to their cabin to get settled in. There were coincidentally two double beds for Tommy and Kimi, and Chuckie and Lil as well as two single beds for Phil and Dil.

"Anyone joining the play?" Dil asked.

"NO!" everyone yelled simultaneously.

"Besides Dil there's a lot more to do than a stupid play. We can fish, hike, sail and a lot more. And then at night we tell tales of grisly ghouls that will terrorize your neighborhood and though we try to stay alive our bodies will try to shiver…" Tommy said coldly. Everyone knew that Tommy took that line from Michael Jackson. But Chuckie still being a little bit of a wimp shivered at this.

"Relax Chuckie I was just kidding." Tommy said which he and the others laughed at and Chuckie just smiled and rolled his eyes.
