Authors note: When I refer to the gang, I'm referring to the classic Rugrats Characters Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Kimi. I will be posting at least two chapters a week until the summer ends; If not one for sure. This book will mainly focus on the Pickles Brothers and their problems however the other characters will be mentioned. After all, what is the Rugrats without the other character to help out? This is my first ever fanfic so review and enjoy.
Chapter 1: The Innocent Life
The camera flicks on and places it of the desk next to him. It shows Tommy Pickles with a computer screen behind him. There is some unfinished parts of his recent movie visable on the computer screen which has his latest work on it. After looking back to finish working on his computer real quick, Tommy starts to speak in the camera.
"This is Tommy Pickles with another video journal entry. It's May 25 and I have about a week before school ends and I go into High School! Man, where has the time went? It feels like I just entered Jr. High only yesterday. Sigh, anyway, My life couldn't be anymore perfect! I've gotten to know my best friends better than ever before strengthening all of our relationships, I'm going to High School, and even though my parents drive me crazy I love them and they love me, and I have a totally awesome yet, kinda wired little brother named Dil. Since Jr. High is practically done, I now have the time to continue editing my latest work, Jr. High Dreams. I was planing on showing it back at the Java Lava pretty soon, but I still need a few more key pieces of footage to really make it a real tear jerker for our parents. You know they can't resist that stuff. All I need to do is to record all of our goodbyes along with a few things from the closing of the year ceremony making this one of my most memerable works yet! Of course, this will probly be nothing compared to what I can do in High School. I hear that the film program at the High School that I'm going to is the best in the state of California! Yes! Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. But for right now, I'm going to continue editing and working all the bugs out off the footage that I have so far. Later I'll be heading to the mall to see everyone for an school is out get together. And afterwards, all of us will head over to my house to celebrate going to High School!"
He look back at the computer and he notices a picture of him and his brother Dil.
"Ya know, I kinda feel bad for Dil. Since he is a year younger than me, he can't celebrate like we can. And to make things worse, once me, Phil, and Lil graduate and go on from Jr. High, Dil will be all alone with practically no one to talk to. Me and the gang are the only people he would ever hang out with and the other people he would try to hang out with, they would all think that he was too weird to be around. Well... this maybe true, but he is still my brother and I still worry about him even though he drives me crazy with all the crazy things going on in his head. I'm sure he'll be fine, he always makes it through with his um... unique mind of his.
Going back to the computer he starts to work on something but he realizes what he said and rolles his eyes at it.
"Ugh... Great, now I'm starting to sound like mom now. For a while now she has been going on about bee safe this, don't talk to stranger, don't do drugs, don't do this, don't do that; I'm getting sick of hearing it. I know she is doing it be cause she 'loves me' but nagging about it constantly isn't helping. I'm sure it will be okay, surly High School can't be as bad as they say it will. Alright, this is Tommy signing off and the best of luck to the beginning of High School!"
Tommy reaches on the other side of the camera to turn it off but ends up pushing the zoom in button. Thinking he has turned off the camera he comntinues to work digiently on his new movie. After an uneventful twenty minuets of just Tommy working on the computer, with the camera still rolling, Tommy's little brother Dil comes into the room by is hands and wearing all of his clothes in the opposite order asking, "Hey T! You want to go hang out in the park later? I just thought, since your going to high school and all, that w can get some time to ourselves. Ya know bro to bro. After all you guys are practically leaving me in the dust while I'll be off doing my own thing... So? What do ya say T?"
"God D. You knew I was planning on going to the mall today with everyone. It is the day we are going to celebrate us."
"Come on T. It will be just us. Plus, it's not like you'll never see them again anyway. I'll even try to be what you would call normal for once and follow the rules." He gets in a upright position with his ants acting as a shirt and the shirt acting as the pants. "But no promises."
"You don't get it Dil!" Tommy almost yells. "I want to hang out with my friends and celebrate my day away from Jr. High, on to High School, and looking to my future. I want this moment to be remembered and I can't do that with my baby brother holding me back." He turns away from Dil and saves his current project to get out of the room.
"Please T? This will be the only time we will be able to do anything together till we figure out how to control time like our alien brethren can."
"Forget it Dil! I'm going to the mall with my friends and only new high schoolers are allowed. So just go away Dil!"
"Ouch Dude. That really hurt. In here." He points to his heart. Tommy, showing no remorse, finally shuts down the computer and leaves the room. Dil just sighs quietly and sits down in the chair where Tommy sat.
"And now I'm alone with no one but Pablo (the goldfish). At least now I can go uninterrupted when trying to establish alien contact. They haven't tried to contact me in a while so I'll see what's up. But still, I wish I was with Tommy. Now I'll never see him again. Hopefully, his first year of high school will be uneventful, so when I come along, I can be with Tommy during his awesome achievements; and he will be there for mine."
He takes another quiet sigh.
"It really hurts to be alone. Oh well. Time to take Pablo for a walk and why do I keep talking to myself?"
He starts out of Tommy's room but notices a flashing red light in the corner of his eye. It was the camera that Tommy usually used for everything and it was still recording.
"Well. what do we have here? Looks like the camera has recorded everything I said and now Tommy will see how I truly feel."
Dil stops the recording and takes out the tape and places it on Tommy's desk.
"Oh Crap. Look at the time. I still need to take Pablo for a walk and hopefully I will still have time to set up for alien contact later on."
He turns out of the room and runs out however, his baggy clothes knock over the video tape behind the desk where it cannot be seen.
