Author's Note: A bit of trivia I forgot to post at the end of the last chapter before we continue. Chuckie's line in the last chapter about how could he calm down he was smaller than an ant, was a spoof of a similar line from the film, Honey We Shrunk Ourselves, when Patti, Wayne's sister-in-law made a comment about how could she calm down she was smaller than a raisen. With that out of the way, let's move on to chapter 2, and see just how these incredible tiny babies, are going to make their way up the basement stairs.
Chapter 2, Climbing the Stairs
"So how are we gonna climb the stairs Tommy?" Chuckie asked again, as the babies all gazed around at the enlarged basement that surrounded them.
At that moment, Tommy saw his star ball at the bottom of the stairs.
"I've got it!" Cried Tommy, as he ran over to his star ball, which was now the size of a giant bolder.
"What?" Phil asked.
"If we all push on this ball together, maybe it can help get us up the stairs." Suggested Tommy, as he started to push on the ball, but it wouldn't budge.
"I don't think you're strong enough to push it by yourself." Said Zack.
"Member what Tommy said? We've gots to all push it together!" Said Kimi, as she and Zack stood next to Tommy, then Chuckie, Phil, and Lil, and all six babies, started pushing on the ball at the exact same time.
Soon, they had the ball at the bottom of the staircase, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't push the ball up the stairs.
"Great! Now what?" Chuckie asked.
"If only someone could help us." Said Tommy.
"But how are we gonna get anybody's attention?" Phil asked.
"Yeah! Our voices are tinier than a cricket's." Added Lil.
"Hey, maybe Spike or Spiffi can help us." Suggested Tommy.
"You know, that might just work." Said Zack.
"If our mommies and daddies can't hear us, what makes you think Spike and Spiffi can hear us? Huh?" Chuckie asked impatiently.
"Chuckie, dogs have hearing ten times better than humans. They can hear dog whistles that the average human can't hear. I hbet if we call for Spike, he'll come to our rescue. Come on Tommy, let's give it a try." Said Zack.
Tommy cleared his throat and called for Spike.
"Hey! Spikie, here boy!" Tommy called.
At that very moment, guests were arriving for Didi's Pampered Chef party, including her cousin Dillon, and Spike was running through the entry hall, when he overheard his name being called in the distance. However, the dog noticed the sound was coming from the basement, and it sounded more like that of a dog whistle than that of a regular human. No matter, since he heard his name being called, he bounded down the basement stairs, right towards the infamous green, orange, and blue star ball. Excited to play with the ball, Spike picked up the ball in his mouth, not realizing that six babies the size of crumbs were holding on to that ball on the opposite side.
"Hold on for your lives you guys." Cried Kimi, as all of the babies clung with all of their might to the star ball, which was now being carried up the stairs in Spike's mouth.
They thought they might have a chance at getting to Angelica's karaoke machine, as Tommy spotted it out the corner of his eye as Spike ran through the living room with the ball, but before the babies could make a move, Spike ran into the kitchen, where the party had started.
Taking a wiff at the aromas of party food that surrounded the dog, he dropped the ball out of his mouth. Realizing what was happening, the babies all jumped in panic from the ball, landing into Spike and Spiffi's water bowl.
Uh oh, what's going to happen now? Will the adorable Rugrats drown? Find out, in chapter 3.
Author's Note: For anybody who doesn't know, Pampered Chef sells cooking stuff, and these parties, like the one Didi is hosting in this story, is a social gathering for family and friends to get together, play games, and buy products from their catalogue, as well as check out many of their items on display. In turn, Didi, who's hosting this party, will make some money from the stuff that her guests buy out of the catalogue. Other companies like one that makes both regular and electronic candles, and Premier Designs Jewlery do similar parties to help sell their products as well. Figured I'd point this out, in the event anybody reading this, was unfamiliar with the type of party that Didi was having.
