Chapter 4, The Imaginary Swimming Adventure
By this time, Sovietlolliepop's clothes were dry, so he changed back into his clothes, and graciously thanked Olaughlinhunter for letting him borrow some clothes while his were washed and dried. Also, unknown by anybody, Angelica awoke upstairs in Olaughlinhunter's bed, to hear laughter coming from downstairs, and while she couldn't stand the footsy pajamas she was wearing, she looked around the room and couldn't find her clothes anywhere, so she headed downstairs, to see the toddlers and other authors playing with innertubes, floaties, and blow up rafts in the living room.
"What's going on here?" Angelica asked, standing in the doorway.
The authors all turned to her.
"How are you feeling Angelica?" Olaughlinhunter asked.
"I'm better, but I'd be much better if I knew what was going on." Snapped Angelica.
"We're about to go swimming in Olaughlinhunter's pool." Chuckie replied.
Angelica looked around the room in confusion.
"Wait a second, Olaughlinhunter's pool is outside, I can see it out the window." Said Angelica.
"I know, but it's too cold to swim outside." Tommy explained.
"So we're swimming inside." Zack added.
Angelica crossed her arms and stared down at the floor, a bit disappointed that they had to go on a make believe adventure.
"Fine! See if I care." Angelica muttered to herself, as she went over to an easy chair on the opposite side of the room, and slumped down in the chair, getting lost in thought.
Once she disappeared from view, all of the toddlers turned their attention back to one another.
"Hey, I got an idea, why don't we make our imaginary pool aventure fun! We can be stuper heros!" Suggested Phil.
"That's a great idea Phil." Said Tommy, but no sooner had he said that, when he looked away and frowned.
"Something wrong Tommy?" Nairobi-harper asked.
"I'm not sure if we should be the Mega Diaper Babies, or if we should play Aventure Squad." Tommy replied.
"I got an idea, why don't you guys be both. The Mega Diaper Babies and the Adventure Squad guys both had different powers. Combine the two, and play them combined." Suggested Celrock.
"Is it ok if I just, blow bubbles?" Dil asked.
"Sure Dil, you don't have to play with them if you don't want to." Said Celrock.
"And I wanna be my favoritest super hero ever, Super Why!" Said Zack.
"And I'm just interested in lying on the raft and soaking up some sun." Said Susie.
"Okie doke then, guess it's only Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Kimi playing out this crazy combination." Said Celrock.
"Wait a minute you guys, we didn't know Kimi when we played Mega Diaper Babies. Who's she gonna be?" Chuckie asked concerned.
"That's ok Chuckie, I just wanna play Aventure Squad anyway." Said Kimi.
"Ok then, are you guys ready?" Celrock asked.
"Yeah!" Said all of the toddlers in unison, as Olaughlinhunter's living room transformed into his swimming pool outside.
Susie was floating in the pool on a pink inflatable raft, wearing a red bathing suit, while Dil sat in a green innertube, bobbing up and down and blowing bubbles, wearing a pair of navy blue swim trunks. Soon though, it was time for the Mega Diaper Babies slash Adventure Squad guys to come and join them. The five other toddlers stood outside of the pool, as they got ready to transform, as Celrock acted as the narrator.
"Changing Baby, who can transform into any animal, and talk to swim suits." Narrated Celrock, as Tommy turned into a fish, and swam over to Dil.
"Hello Dilly's swim suit." Said Tommy the fish.
"Hi little fishy." Said Dil, as he giggled and picked Tommy up, only to have him slip through Dil's fingers back into the water.
"Dotted Line Girl, who's also a champion rope ringer." Narrated Celrock, as Lil in her dotted line form, swung a rope out into the pool, and disappeared into the water, disappearing from view, as her dotted line image was no longer visible in the water.
"Spitball Boy, who has the strength of two babies, even though he's just one." Narrated Celrock, as Phil in his Spitball boy form, shot a bubble into the air, and lifted Susie's raft, diving into the pool, then set it back down, coming up on the opposite side of the raft and staring at Susie, who gave him a dirty look.
"Oh, sorry Susie." Said Phil.
"Kimi, who can get little." Narrated Celrock, as Kimi shrunk down to the size of an ant that was crawling along the side of the pool.
"And Stinky, who smells as strong as two babies, and drives the scrubmarine." Narrated Celrock, as Chuckie, now taking the form of Stinky, was seen driving a submarine in the pool.
"Does everybody wanna go for a ride?" Stinky asked from the submarine.
"Sure!" Changing Baby replied, as he, Kimi, Spitball Boy, Dil, Susie, and Dotted Line Girl, all borded the submarine for a ride.
At that moment, Zack, now dressed as Super Why, approached the submarine.
"Is there any room for Super Why?" Zack asked.
"Sure! The more the merrier." Kimi replied.
Zack got on to the submarine, as Peter and the authors, who were all sitting around the outside of the pool wearing swimsuits and relaxing in lounge chairs, watched the submarine disappear out of view.
However, unknown to Peter and the authors, another person was watching, and not a pleasant person at that.
"So, they're gonna go swimming without me, eh? Well, we'll just see about that. Angelitron isn't about to let that happen, is she?" Said Angelica, as she transformed into her Angelitron self from the Mega Diaper Babies episode, and approached the swimming pool.
Wishing to spoil their fun, Angelica pulled out a vacuum, and started sucking all of the water out of the pool. Down at the bottom, the super toddlers all noticed what was happening.
"What's happening you guys?" Kimi asked.
"I don't know, but I'd better go find out." Said Changing Baby, as he exited the submarine.
No sooner was he outside of the submarine, when he found himself, on the hard ground of an empty swimming pool, and still taking the form of a fish. Quickly, he changed back into his human form and alerted the others.
"To all stuper heros wearing swim trunks who can understand me, get out of the scrubmarine immediately. We gots no water." Changing Baby demanded.
Everybody climbed out of the submarine, only to find themselves down on the bottom of the pool, with no way out, as they were in the deep end.
"What are we gonna do you guys?" Stinky asked in panic.
"This looks like a job for champion rope ringer, Dotted Line Girl!" Said Dotted Line Girl, as she threw her rope up on to the concrete path up above, and started climbing up.
However, noticing this, Angelitron used this to her advantage, to climb down behind Dotted Line Girl, and start tangling her up in the rope.
"Hey! What's happening?" Dotted Line Girl called to the others.
But by this time, she was so tightly wrapped up in the rope, that her voice was too muffled for anybody to hear her. Angelitron now took the tied up mess of rope, and threw it across the backyard, where Dotted Line girl landed in a thorn bush.
"Ow!" Dotted Line girl called from the bushes.
"It's Dotted Line Girl. Somebody better go help her." Cried Kimi.
"I could fly over to her as a bird and save her, only, she's not wearing no swim trunks, so I can't talk to her." Changing Baby replied.
"Hey! Maybe I can climb out of here with my super strength." Said Spitball Boy, as he used his super strength, to cling to the wall of the swimming pool, and make his way up to the concrete path up above.
Once he was up on land, he made his way over to where he heard Dotted Line Girl crying in the bushes, so came to her rescue. He bit the rope apart with his teeth, freeing her.
"Spitball Boy, you saved me!" Cried Dotted Line Girl, as she threw what was left of her rope down to the ground, and gave him a hug.
Unfortunately, his super strength nearly crushed Dotted Line Girl, nearly choking her.
"Loosen your grip, I can't breethe." Said Dotted Line Girl between gasps of air.
"Oh, sorry." Said Spit Ball Boy.
Once they reunited, they struck up an idea, to use the rest of Dotted Line Girl's rope to free the rest of their friends, slash Mega Diaper Babies slash Adventure Squad crew from the bottom of the empty swimming pool.
Using a combination of the rope, Dotted Line Girl lowered Spitball Boy down into the pool, where he helped Changing Baby, Super Why, Kimi, Dil, Susie, and Stinky, out of the pool and back up on land. Once everybody was safely back up, they all cheered in excitement, until they noticed something about the pool. Dil noticed the sound of water coming from the pool, and Angelitron standing in the center.
"What's going on?" Dil asked.
"Don't know Dil." Changing Baby replied, as they all went to investigate.
"Ha ha ha! Now I get the pool all to myself." Cackled Angelitron, as she splashed around in the pool, and as soon as she saw the babies coming, she alerted TCKing12, to create a force field around the pool, so that none of the babies could spoil her fun.
"Look!" Exclaimed Stinky, as he tried to set foot into the pool, but couldn't, thanks to an invisible force field.
"Maybe I can squeeze beneath it, if I get really little." Suggested Kimi, as she shrunk to the size of an ant, and tried to squeeze beneath the force field, but it was welded so solidly to the ground, that she couldn't get anywhere.
Dotted Line Girl knew she would be no help in this situation, as she even tried using her rope ringing powers, but the force field was too tall to throw her rope over the top of it.
"Maybe I can help." Said Changing Baby, as he turned into a bird, and started pecking at the wall of the force field.
This only made Changing Baby's poor beak hurt, causing him to tire out, as he landed on the ground, exhausted.
"I bet ya I can fix it." Said Spitball Boy, as he started punching at the wall of the force field.
While it was no use, as the wall was even too strong for him, he soon discovered that he'd have to use both powers to defeat this forcefield, before they could convince Angelitron on the other side, that she couldn't have the pool all to herself. Using a giant wod of spit, he threw it at the force field, and punching where he threw the wod of spit, he made a whole in the wall, discovering that spit was the wall's weakness. He did this several more times, until he found himself in the water, face to face with Angelitron, who didn't look happy to see him.
"And just what do you think you're doing here?" Angelitron asked.
"Getting you out of our pool. This pool is for everyone Angelitron, not just you." Said Spitball Boy.
"Oh yeah? Says who?" Angelitron asked.
"Everybody." Spitball Boy replied, as he sent a large bubble into Angelitron's face, which she only popped, diving under the water to escape it.
Seeing this, Stinky dove into the pool, where he retrieved his submarine, and fired it up, letting out his terrible odors into the water. This left a horrible smell in the air, that Angelitron couldn't stand.
"Yuck!" Angelitron cried, as she escaped the pool, leaving it desserted, except for Stinky, who was still in the submarine.
Everybody jumped up and down and cheered, relieved they could go swimming again, until they all took a wiff of the air around them, and noticed that while Stinky may have gotten Angelitron to give up the pool, without meaning to, he ruined the pool for everyone.
"Maybe I can help." Said Spitball, as he sent some spit into the pool.
Unfortunately, this only made it worse.
"Uh oh, now what?" Kimi asked.
"It looks like it's Super Why to the rescue." Said Zack.
"What are you gonna do Super Why?" Susie asked.
"Maybe I can change the story and save the day. Maybe instead of Stinky omitting bad odors, he can omit good odors instead." Said Zack, as he took two crayons out of his pocket and a coloring book, which acted as the story book and his Why Writers.
"Why writers, write." Commanded Zack as Super Why, as the crayons wrote on the page, changing bad to good in the sentence.
All of the sudden, the horrible odor that filled the air, soon turned to the pleasant smell of dazies and strawberries. Stinky poked his head out of the water and took a wiff.
"What happened?" Stinky asked.
"I changed the story and now, you omit good smells, not bad ones. Thanks to me, the pool is safe for everyone!" Said Super Why Zack, as everybody got into the pool, and started swimming around and having fun.
Even Peter and the other authors hopped into the pool, as Olaughlinhunter dived in, performing a cannonball, splashing everyone. They had a bit of fun trying to find Dotted Line Girl in the water, and while the bulk of the crew enjoyed the pleasant odor of dazies and strawberries, Angelitron, did not.
"I only like the smell of cookies. Keep your dumb old dazies and strawberries for all I care." Griped Angelitron, as TCKing12 placed her into a force field that smelled of dirty gym socks and burning rubber.
This only caused Angelitron to pass out, as their imaginary adventure ended, and everybody returned to Olaughlinhunter's living room, somewhat exhausted from their swimming adventure.
"Wow! That was fun!" Said Olaughlinhunter.
"Glad you enjoyed it." Said Zack, as everybody collapsed to the floor and caught their breath.
"Hey! Let me out of this thing!" Angelica cried from behind a force field, which TCKing12 had really created on the opposite side of the living room.
"Do you promise to be good?" TCKing12 asked.
"Yes! I promise! Now let! Me! Out!" Screamed Angelica.
TCKing12 undid her force field, and she returned to join the rest of the group.
"Well, now that everybody is awake, are you guys ready to reenact my favorite Rugrats episode?" Olaughlinhunter asked.
"And what episode is that Olaughlinhunter?" Tommy asked.
"Remember me telling you when I got the invitation from Olaughlinhunter, that he wanted you guys to reenact his all time favorite Rugrats episode, Angelica's Birthday?" Peter asked.
"Oh yeah." Tommy replied.
"Come on everybody, let's head upstairs to my room, and get ready." Said Olaughlinhunter, as he led everybody up the spiral staircase to his bedroom.
So how will the reenactment go? Find out, in the next chapter.
