Journey to the Prehistoric Period

Summary: When the rugrats preschool class takes a fieldtrip to a dinosaur museum, Tommy decides this is an excellent place for an adventure, but causes them to get separated from the rest of the class. With the help from the Cinclaire family, in particular, Baby Cinclaire, will the Rugrats make it out of this prehistoric land, back with their class, in time to go home? Or will Earl's boss, Mr. Richfield, eat them for lunch.

Editional Notes: This story is obviously, a crossover between Rugrats, and Dinosaurs. It should also be noted, that just like I don't own any of the characters from Rugrats, I don't own any of the characters from Dinosaurs either, and they too, are the property of their original creaters.

The class was lined up at the front of the museum, getting together while Miss Applebee went over the rules.

"Now class, find your buddy, and hold their hand. And let's remember that the dinosaur museum is a big place, so please stay behind me." Said Miss Applebee as everyone gathered in front of her.

Freddy went with Samantha, Caroline went with Emma, Kimi went with Zack, Phil and Lil were partners, and Tommy and Chuckie brought up the rear of the line.

"Follow me." Said Miss Applebee as she turned around and walked further into the museum, the class following behind her. A few minutes later, they met up with their tour guide, Sally Chasekon.

"Hello young ones, my name is Sally and I'm going to be your guide today." Said Sally as she joined up next to Miss Applebee and the class followed. The first thing they came to was a huge, wooden door with a sign that read, Forbidden.

"The room behind this door is forbidden, that means nobody is allowed in there." Said Sally as they passed by the door. A little while later, they came up to a tyranasauris rex exhibit.

"Wow! That looks like Reptar!" Exclaimed Phil.

"That does look like Reptar, and do you know why it does?" Asked Sally.

The kids shook their heads.

"That's because like Reptar, these dinosaurs were also tyranasaurus rex's. They were the biggest dinosaurs in all the land, and what did they eat? Can anybody tell me what a tyranasaurus eats?" Asked Sally.

"They eat meat." Zack replied.

"That's right! They do eat meat." Said Sally happily.

The tour guide went on to talk about other things listed on the plaque at the exhibit. Tommy, was starting to grow bored.

"Come on guys, this is our chance to sneak off and go on an adventure." Tommy whispered to the others in front of him.

"But Tommy, you know the rules, we're suppose to stay with the rest of the class." Replied Chuckie.

"But Chuckie, I stayed with the class at Ice Cream Mountain, and got sick so had to miss the nature walk. I want to see what's behind that forbidden door." Said Tommy.

"But Tommy, maybe that door is forbidden for a reason. Maybe there's monsters in there, and, they don't want us going in there." Said Chuckie.

"Oh come on, everyone knows that going somewhere where you're not suppose to go is fun. I've been doing it for three years, and just because I'm all growed up and in preschool doesn't mean we're gonna stop now. Now who's with me?" Tommy asked.

Zack, Kimi, Phil and Lil all lined up behind Tommy. Chuckie, looked from Tommy's little line over to his teacher and the rest of the group.

"Aren't you coming Chuckie?" Tommy asked.

Chuckie gulped and walked slowly to the end of Tommy's line.

"Here we go again." Chuckie said with a sigh, as the group broke away from the rest of the class, and headed for the forbidden door.

When they reached the forbidden door, Tommy tried to open it, only to find it was locked.

"Well, we tried. Now let's go find our class and go on the nice, safe, dinosaur museum tour." Said Chuckie.

Just then, Tommy reached into his shorts pocket.

"I handed this down to Dil when starting preschool, but I'm glad he let me borrow it for today, as something told me it would come in handy." Said Tommy, pulling his screwdriver out of his pocket, and working the lock on the door.

"Tommy, I know I've always been amazed by your work with that plastic screwdriver, but I think you need a key to open this door." Said Zack.

After several minutes of playing with the lock, the forbidden door opened. A gust of wind blew through the door, picking up the young children, and blowing them through a whirl wind of sky.

Have they left the museum? Where are they now? We'll find out, in chapter 2.
