(A/N: Phew, this is a long one! It's based off of the special episode "Vacation", which I enjoyed in my childhood, along with a few others, including "The Santa Experience". Enjoy!)
Could It Be?
Ch. 9
In their respective houses, the Pickles, DeVilles, Finsters, and two Tucks were packing for a summer vacation; In Las Vegas! They then flocked to Stu and Didi's home, where Stu had an RV ready for them. As they boarded, Tommy's plush white tiger fell out of a bag, but was unnoticed by everyone except for Tommy. When nighttime came, Stu was driving the RV through the desert, before they arrived at their destination. The toddlers, who were on the top bunk, looked in awe at the sights all around them. "Las Vegas!" Stu announced.
"Mmm, it's lovely at night," Didi remarked.
"Haven't been here since the '50s!" Lou piped up. "Took the town by storm too! I won 15 jackpots in a row!" Friar Tuck smirked at that. "They flew me home first class, just to get rid of me!"
"Well, Mom said you lost everything but your underwear, an came back on a bus," Drew pointed out.
"Oh, what did she know?" Lou brushed him off.
"Look at all the lights, you guys!" Tommy turned to his friends from the window.
"It's like being inside a Ch'istmas tree!" Lil marveled.
"Naw, that was just sticky," Phil disagreed.
"Do you think we're gonna live here?" Chuckie wondered aloud.
"I dunno, Chuckie," Shenzi shrugged. For the night, she was in black and pink one-piece pjs with black, short puff sleeves, long black pants, a pink tutu with a black bow on the zebra striped waistband, and a black and white "Daddy's Girl" graphic on the front. She also wore white slipper booties with a black mustache on each of them, and a pink bow headband.
"You dumb babies!" Angelica walked up the staircase. "We're not gonna live here; We're on vacation!" She then spotted her doll close to the edge of the stairs, and grabbed her. "Oh, there you are, Cynthia."
"What's a bacation, Angelica?" Tommy asked her.
"A vacation is when you can do exactly what you want, all the time," She explained, while combing Cynthia's hair.
"I guess that means Angelica is always on bacation," Chuckie whispered to Shenzi and Tommy, and they all shared a laugh.
"My daddy says Slots Vegas is the bestest place in the whole world to go for a vacation."
"What's Slots Vegas?" Shenzi asked her.
"That," Angelica pointed outside the window to the neon lights, and heavy traffic, "And I'm gonna be the star of Slots Vegas, and I'm gonna sing on a real stage, in front of a bazillion people! Come on, Cynthia, let's go practice our scales. Go make me a donut real slow!" She sang on her way down the stairs.
"Does that mean we get to do ezzactly what we want?" Lil wondered aloud.
"Sure!" Tommy replied. "It's our bacation too!"
"I wanna ride Reptar to the moon!" Phil made his Reptar doll fly like a plane.
"Reptar can't fly!" Lil protested.
"He can on my bacation, Lillian!" He retorted.
"No, he's bein' my little baby, Philip!" She took his doll and hugged it, shooting a glare at him.
"Mine!" Phil tried to retrieve it back.
"Well, I wanna try that thing, where ya parachute off the Eiffel Tower!" Betty flapped her arms for emphasis.
"I hear they have a replica of the Pacific Ocean in the lobby of the Atlantis hotel," Stu informed, "Maybe I'll check out the surfing."
"You can't surf," Drew sneered.
"Can too!" Stu retorted.
A large TV on the Rainforest motel caught Tommy's attention. It had 2 Las Vegas magicians with 2 white tigers. "There's what I wanna do!"
"Oh, look guys!" Chaz pointed out. "It's those two magicians, Heimlich and Bob!"
"Nice tigers," Howard remarked.
"You wanna watch telibision?" Chuckie asked Tommy.
"We have telibisions at home," Shenzi added.
"No, guys! I wanna pet those kitties! They're just like the one that got lefted at my house."
"Look at their little whispers," Lil cooed.
"I dunno, Tommy," Chuckie hesitated, "They look kinda big to me."
"I agree," Shenzi nodded.
"It's just 'cause the TV is so big," Tommy pointed out, "Let's all go see 'em! It'll be fun!" He headed down the stairs.
"Somebody doesn't understand the word "fun"," Chuckie nervously remarked to Shenzi, who nodded.
Just then, Stu parked the RV at a Viking themed hotel, and everyone filed out. While holding Tommy, Stu hit the gong for assistance, and they were both scared by a man in costume. "Welcome to the Viking Hotel," He greeted them with an accent, "Will this be a charge, or will you be paying with the pigs?"
The kids were gathered at the dock, when banging drums gained their attention. "Look at that!" Chuckie pointed out a Viking ship, which was rowed by people in appropriate costumes, chanting the word "rowing" repeatedly in a pattern, along the river as guests watched.
"I think I'm gonna like Slots Vegas!" Tommy expressed his excitement.
The next morning, the group were at the hotel pool in their swimwear. Tommy was simply in his diaper, Chuckie wore green trunks, Phil's were blue, Lil had a red two-piece with a skirt over her diaper, and Shenzi had a black and white polka tankini with a ruffle-hem top that had a little red bow on the neckline, simple bottoms over her diaper, and a red bow headband. All of them were wearing brown furry water wings on their upper arms, and were standing at the top of a small water slide. "Where do you think the kitties are, Tommy?" Chuckie asked him.
"I dunno, Chuckie. They've gotta be around here somewhere. There's pictures of them all over the place."
"Maybe they're lost," Phil guessed.
"Or maybe their kitty mommy puts their pictures all over, so's everyone can see her little babies," Lil chimed in.
"I'm gonna go look for 'em in the pool!" Tommy slid down the slide and landed safely in the pool, startling Didi awake when she was splashed from her place on a lounge chair.
"Okey-dokey now, who's next?" Lil secretly pointed at Chuckie with a devious smile, as Shenzi nodded. Just then, Phil pushed the redhead down the slide, so he slid on his stomach with a scream of fear. "Uh oh."
"I told him to hang onto his bathing suit," Phil remarked, as Shenzi stifled laughter.
In the pool, Stu and Howard were splashing each other, when Betty gained their attention. "Good news, guys! Today's gonna be a celebration of the glory, and wonder of fatherhood!" The kids gathered around her, along with Didi and Charlotte.
"What does that mean?" Stu wondered aloud.
"They want us to watch the kids," Howard answered his question with slight annoyance and disappointment.
"Betty has suggested we do a girls' day out at Circus Giganticus," Didi informed them.
"Yeah, they've got some killer roller coasters over there!" Betty added. "The one that goes through the lobby pulls 6 Gs! Save ya a facelift there, Charlotte!" She teasingly elbowed Charlotte, making her glare in annoyance. "Ha! Now don't get too crazy, you party animals!"
Didi set Tommy on the ground. "Bye, honey!" The mothers then headed on their way.
"Well, there goes our fun," Stu expressed his disappointment after they left.
"Nonsense, we'll just do shifts," Drew suggested, "I'll take tomorrow." He then headed off.
"I'll take the next day," Chaz went with him, and with a nervous chuckle, Howard followed his lead.
Just then, Lou surfaced with snorkels on his head, and spit out the mouthpiece. "Where'd everybody go?"
"They bailed on us, Pop," Stu explained, "Looks like you, me, Tuck, and the kids."
"Well, that's okay! We'l just take 'em over to the casino with us!"
"Lou, kids aren't allowed in the casino," Friar Tuck pointed out.
"Why don't we just head over to the all-you-can-eat buffet, and grab some lunch?" Stu suggested.
Lou looked from the kids quarreling over Angelica's novelty inner tube, to the casino where people seemed to be having fun. "Well, alright," He reluctantly agreed, "The games are probably rigged nowadays, anyway."
"I'm rich! I'm rich!" An elderly man with tons of bills ran past them. "I hit the jackpot! Ahahahaw! I'm rich! I'm rich!"
"On the other hand, see ya!" Lou then plunged back underwater to swim over to the casino.
After seeing the rich man, Friar Tuck gave in to temptation. "Uh, I'm going to make sure he doesn't end up on a bus in his underwear." He then headed off with a sheepish smile, to Stu's chagrin.
l-l
Now on his own, Stu took the kids, who were now in their regular outfits, to the hotel's buffet. The tots looked in awe at all the food before them. "I think I just got really hungry!" Tommy expressed his excitement.
Before long, Stu was feeling overwhelmed when the kids were running amok in the place. He saw Chuckie drinking straight from the dispenser. "Wha-?! Chuckie, you're supposed to use a glass!" Phil was eating a pineapple, including the rough skin. "Phil, pineapples have to be peeled!" Shenzi had her eye on some cupcakes, and was determined to get one. "Shenzi, don't climb on the dessert stands!" Tommy was sitting in a bowl of noodles, happily eating. "Tommy, get out of the pasta salad!" While carrying Shenzi and Phil, he then saw Lil doing something very bizarre. "Ew! Lil, you're supposed to eat the raisins!"
"Boy, sure are a lot of people in here," Angelica remarked as she ate both a cookie and a cupcake at once, then realized that she had a singing opportunity right there. "Hey! What am I doin', sittin' here eating?! This could be my big break!" She grabbed a banana dipped in chocolate for a microphone. "Good evening, ladies and gentermen, and welcome to the Angelica show! Starring A-A-Angelica! Ohhh, beautiful!" She started singing.
"Oh great," Stu groaned after taking Tommy out of the pasta bowl, "You kids stay here." He went to take care of his niece.
After he left, Tommy slurped up a noodle. "Wow, that was nummy! And look!" He held up a meat bone. "I got a snack for the kitties!"
"I dunno, Tommy," Chuckie shook his head, "Maybe they're not here. Maybe we should do somethin' else; Like, sit on the floor, and be really quiet."
"You're right, Chuckie."
"I am?" The redhead was surprised at that.
"I don't think they are here," Tommy walked up to a window, "I think they're in a different house."
"Angelica! Angelica!" The blonde continued singing as Stu crawled up to her on the table, squishing a dessert with one hand unintentionally.
"But Tommy, your daddy tolded us to stay here," Shenzi reminded him.
"That's true, Shenzi, essept this is a bacation," Tommy pointed out, "And on a bacation..."
"We can do ezzactly what we want!" Phil and Lil finished simultaneously, then joined Tommy at the window, with Chuckie and a reluctant Shenzi following.
"Look, there they are!" Tommy pointed to the TV at the Rainforest hotel, showing the tigers in a cage.
"Yeah, but what's that they're in?" Phil wondered aloud.
"It looks like a playpen," Lil remarked.
"More like a prism," Tommy concluded.
"You mean, they're prismers?" Phil asked him sympathetically.
"We gots to let them out, Tommy!" Lil cried.
"You guys!" Chuckie gasped in fear. "People end up in prism, 'cause they've done bad stuff!"
"They're kitties, Chuckie," Tommy protested, "Kitties can't do bad stuff."
"Kitties are tiny," Lil said emotionally.
"And fluffy," Phil added.
"They do look sad in there," Shenzi remarked sympathetically.
"Lil's right, you guys," Tommy announced, "We've gotta let 'em out. Those kitties came all the way to Slots Vegas, and they a'serve a bacation as much as we do! Come on!" They then headed for the exit.
"Thank me-e-e-e-E-E-E!" Angelica finished, as Stu carried her under his arm. "Thank you, thank you!"
"When your parents get back, I am go..." Stu stopped when he realized that the kids had wandered off when his back was turned. "Oh no! The kids!"
Outside, the toddlers were crawling amongst the crowd. "Which way, Tommy?" Chuckie asked him.
"Uh, I'm not sure, Chuckie."
"There must be some way to get there," Shenzi looked around. They gasped when the bridge to the Viking ship was suddenly lowered on a ship.
"Come on, Vikings! To the buffet!" The passengers excitedly disembarked, and made a beeline for the buffet.
"The boat! This'll take us to the kitties!" Tommy walked up to it. "Let's go!"
"Why couldn't the Bikings ride trikes?" Chuckie shortly vented to Shenzi, who shrugged.
Tommy crawled up the bridge, swung on a hanging rope, and bounced off a drum, so the boat started moving. "Rowing," The employees started chanting.
Phil and Lil then landed on the drum in turn, so the boat kept going. "We're moving!" Tommy exclaimed. "Do that again, you guys!" The twins started jumping up and down on the drum in a pattern, giggling with joy, as they held hands. "We're on our way!" The chanting increased in speed as the toddlers enjoyed the ride. At least, all but one. Tommy was watching the horizon, with Shenzi in front of him, as she had her arms out like she was queen of the world. "This is the bestest aventure we've ever had! Don't you think so, Chuckie?" Shenzi looked up and gasped after hearing fearful screaming. "Uh, Chuckie?" He looked up, and to his horror, Chuckie was swinging high on a rope, without a safe way to get down!
At the hotel, Stu rushed outside and saw them on the ship. "Oh no." He gasped in shock at Chuckie's predicament, and turned to Angelica. "Let's go!"
"But Uncle Stu, I gotta go back for my encorn!" She protested.
"Come on, Angelica!" He picked her up under his arm again. "Hold on, Chuckie! I'm coming!"
On the ship, Chuckie hit the mast and managed to let go of the rope. His head collided with Tommy's, before he landed on Shenzi's back. "That's not the bestest thing to do right after lunch," He groaned sickly.
Stu ran after the ship with Angelica on hand, but was unable to keep up. "We'll never catch them this way." He then spotted a small rowboat close by. "A boat! Hurry!" He ran up to it.
"Wait a minute, I'm not getting' in that little thing," Angelica protested.
"Pretend it's a game," He suggested, but when they boarded, his side of the boat quickly tipped.
"Uncle Stu, you gotta learn some new games."
On the ship, Tommy spotted what they were after. "Look, you guys, it's the kitties!" But the ship didn't stop. "Hey, what's going on?"
"The boat! It's going the wrong way!" Chuckie exclaimed.
"Phil, Lil! Stop jumping!" Shenzi told them.
"We've gotta get off!" The bald baby added.
The twins stopped, and sat back-to-back on the drum. "That's okay with us," Phil said, as the worn out rowers were able to rest.
As a last resort, Stu swam in the river with Angelica on his back. "Um, Uncle Stu?"
"Not now, Angelica." A second after, he bumped his head on the ship. "Ow!"
"Tried to warn ya!"
A man in a Viking costume raised the ship bridge, so the toddlers slid down, and stood in front of the casino. "Wow!" Tommy breathed in awe.
"What is it?" Lil wondered aloud.
"I think it's a 'musement park," Tommy replied.
"That's the way I wanna go," Phil pointed straight ahead, and they walked deeper inside.
At one table, where Phil stood on Lil's back, a man was playing craps, and ended up rolling a two. "Snake eyes."
Phil tried to eat the dice, but spit them out. "They're a little stale."
Chuckie was running on a roulette, with shocked adults watching, but stumbled and started spinning. "Hang on, Chuckie! I'm coming!" Tommy pushed stacks of poker chips closer to the roulette, stood unsteadily on top, and managed to lunge Chuckie on the floor.
"Double 0!" A woman at the roulette announced.
"Thanks Tommy," Chuckie smiled dizzily.
"This way!" Tommy was about to head off with him the twins, but realized there was one member of their group missing.
At another table, where two men were playing Blackjack, Shenzi yanked a card from a pile, making the pile collapse, and admired it with curiosity. It was a 10 of clubs. "What the-? Hey, kid! Gimme that!" One man snatched the card out of her hand, fixed the pile, and went back to the game.
"Come on, Shenzi!" Tommy led her away after grabbing her hand.
Stu and Angelica, who were dripping with water, were in the casino looking for the toddlers, but her eyes lit up upon seeing a stage, where "The Fabulous Erik" was singing, and she had an idea. "I'm sure they came this way," Stu concluded, "Come on, Angelica." When he headed the way he directed, she walked to the stage without him noticing.
With his friends' help, Tommy stood on top of a slot machine, and looked around for the "kitties". Little did they know, Lou was there. "Well, this is my last nickel," He hesitated, but knelt down when he saw something on the floor. "Oh, what's this? Would you look at that? A lucky penny." As he was distracted, Tommy landed on the lever and forced it down, enjoying the ride, and landed on the floor. "Hey!" Lou shot back up, not seeing his grandson. "Who pulled the confla-?!" The machine showed 3 Bars, then hundreds of nickels flew out. "Woohoo! Jackpot!" He cheered.
"Over here, Tommy!" Lil called him over, and he followed her.
When Stu ran in the aisle, he saw his son for only a second turning the corner. "Tommy, stop!" He tried to run after him, but he slipped on nickels, and fell face-up.
"Oh, good! You're just in time to help me carry my nickels!"
"Forget the nickels, Pop," Stu stood on his feet, "The kids are getting away!"
"Wait, what?!" Friar Tuck ran after him from another row of slot machines, slipping on the nickels but staying on his feet. "Shenzi!"
"You parents today are such nervous nellies!" Lou remarked.
The toddlers found a sled with dogs waiting for passengers at a route for the circus hotel, and eagerly boarded the sled, Phil helping Lil and Chuckie helping Shenzi. "How're we gonna make the dogs go, Tommy?" Shenzi asked him.
"Well, I know what works with Spike. Anybody got a ball?" He asked them.
"Well," Phil sighed in hesitance, "I was saving this for later," He took an orange from the buffet out from under his shirt, and gave it to the bald baby. Tommy threw the orange in the snow, and the dogs started running in that direction, with the kids screaming in terror.
"Darn it, kid!" Erik struggled with the microphone cord when Angelica tried to take it. "Let go!"
"Come on!" Stu grabbed her and tried to pull her away. Her grip loosened, and Erik fell back.
In the polar route, Chaz was skiing in the fake snow when Howard came up, and had to move aside to avoid colliding with him. "Hey!" Howard exclaimed when Chaz shifted back and forth in front of him.
"Watch it!" Chaz moved aside clumsily.
"Ooh, look out! Look out!" They didn't notice the sled with the kids ride by, with them still screaming.
"How do you start one of these things, anyway?" Stu wondered aloud.
"Reminds me of the 15 years I spent prospecting up in the Yukon," Lou told Angelica one of his stories, as he put his bags of nickels in the sled, "One night, it got so cold, I had to sleep under... a grizzly bear."
"That's nice, Grandpa. Can I have some nickels?"
The toddlers arrived at the Circus Giganticus Hotel, after the dogs finally stopped, crashing into a juggler on a unicycle. "Wow!" They looked around in awe.
"How do you steer this thing?!" Stu struggled with the sled.
"Pull the strap!" Lou replied.
"Which one?!"
Angelica then noticed that Chaz and Howard were headed straight for them. "Um, Uncle Stu?"
"Not now, Angelica!" But sure enough, they collided with the sled.
"W'aaaaah!" Chuckie screamed when he was surrounded by clowns. He crawled away from them, and back to his friends. "Clowns! There had to be clowns!" He shuddered, and Shenzi rested a hand on his shoulder in comfort.
"It's okay, Chuckie," She assured him, "We're almost there. Look!" She pointed to the Rainforest Hotel TV, where the tigers were still being shown.
A second later, the fathers plus Angelica arrived at the same hotel. "A circus!" She gasped, and with a giggle of excitement, she jumped out of the sled to explore.
"Oh no! They're in the center ring!" Stu jumped out of the sled. "I'm coming, kids!" He started running up to them. "Nobody move! Watch out for the babies!" A swinging trapeze artist suddenly grabbed his hands. "What're you doing?!"
"Aren't you part of the act?" She asked him, clueless of his predicament.
"I'm sure he can carry us," Tommy turned to his friends, as they stood behind an elephant, "Alls we gotta do is find the stairs."
As Angelica looked around, a group of clowns in a pink car with a wind-up key on the back stopped close by. "Come on, you clowns!" They quickly disembarked, leaving the now interested blonde with their car.
The toddlers tried to climb up on the elephant's back, but they were swung off of the tail, and into a soft pile of hay. Phil popped his head out of the pile first, followed by Tommy. "What're we gonna do, Tommy?"
"Yeah, we'll never get to the kitties now!" Lil chimed in after revealing herself. Chuckie popped up with a groan of distress, followed by Shenzi, who spit out two sticks and pulled some out of her hair.
Just then, Angelica drove up to them in the clown car. "Hello, babies! Like my new car?"
"Yeah!" Phil and Lil perked up.
"Hey Angelica, will you give us a ride over to the kitties' house?" Tommy requested.
"Nah! I'm gonna find a place, where I can sing, and be famous!"
"If you come with us, you can have something even better," Shenzi said.
"Better?" She scoffed. "What could be better?"
"If you come with us, you can be on TV!" Tommy pointed to the TV with the tigers. She liked that concept!
As Stu was forced into a trapeze routine, Angelica drove by the safety net with the toddlers in the car. Tommy was next to her, while Chuckie and Shenzi were next to each other, and Phil and Lil were in front of them. "See you later, Uncle Stu! We're gonna go see the kitties!" Didi, Betty, and Charlotte were riding the rollercoaster in the back car, and screamed during the steep drop and overbanked turn. Just then, Angelica drove just under the track, and through a pair of double doors. "And as we leave the big circus place," She narrated, "To our right, we see some grass and stuff!" Up ahead, Drew came out of a store, his arms and hands full of bags. "And up ahead, we see..." She gasped in shock upon seeing him. "My daddy?!" She didn't know how to stop, but barely dodged him, so he dropped his bags and fell to the ground.
Angelica drove up a staircase and along a walkway, dodging other people, then arrived at the Rainforest Hotel. They heard jungle noises as she drove into the lobby. "We made it!" Tommy cheered, and they all marveled at the scenery.
"Where are the kitties?" Lil wondered aloud.
"Look over there!" Phil looked to his left.
The car stopped in front of a swinging door with a framed picture of the tigers on it. "That way, Angelica!" Tommy pointed ahead.
"Everybody hang on!" Angelica drove through the doorway.
"I don't know; She said something about the kitties," Stu lead the fathers plus Lou to the entrance for the Rainforest Hotel theatre. They then saw a poster for the Heimlich and Bob magic show with the tigers.
"You don't think she meant...?" Drew lingered.
"The tigers!" Stu finished fearfully. "They're trying to get the tigers from the Heimlich and Bob show! Come on!" They ran to the doors, but were stopped by the intimidating ticket taker.
"Where do you think you're going, snow buddy?" He sneered at Chaz.
"Uh, in there?" He chuckled nervously.
"Not without a ticket," He poked Chaz's nose, making him gulp in fear.
Lou looked down at his bags of nickels, and at the casino, then decided to do the right thing; He marched up to the booth and put the bags on the counter, surprising the woman. "6 tickets, please! And make it snappy!"
In the theatre, the magic show was just getting started. "Good evening, and welcome to the Heimlich and Bob Show!" Heimlich announced the beginning of the show with a French accent after he and his assistant were lowered down on the stage. "Tonight, we will be dazzling you beyond your wildest imagination! Isn't that right, Bob?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," He replied boredly.
"You will see wonders never before seen, on zis and any planet! Ending with our famous disappearing act, zen we'll be lowered into ze cage of tigers!" They gestured to the two white tigers, so the audience gasped in shock. Or, the "kitties" that the toddlers were looking for. "Zen, disappear into total invisibility, only to reppear in this vat of low-fat milk!" They gestured to a large cow printed vat of milk, and the audience gasped again, as the tigers licked their lips in hunger.
Meanwhile, the toddlers were standing on the catwalk above the stage. "Tommy, those kitties aren't little," Chuckie pointed out, "They're giantic!"
"They are pretty big," Tommy agreed hesitantly.
"What should we do, Tommy?" Shenzi asked him.
"Well, um, maybe we should just go home," He decided, and looked down at the cage, "Bye, kitties. I'm sorry I couldn't help you." One of the tigers looked up at them. "Hi," He waved. When the tiger reached up to them, as if he understood their mission, Tommy changed his mind. "No! No, I don't care how big they are!" He protested. "It's still not fair for them to be stuck in that prism, and it's up to us to get 'em out!"
"But how're we gonna get out there without nobody seeing us?" Phil asked him.
"Hey, babies!" Angelica called to them from another section of the catwalk. "Over here!" As workers put animals in the magic boxes, the toddlers joined her. "Say goodbye to the old Angelica, babies, 'cause I'm about to become a star!" To their shock, after a rabbit was set in a box, she jumped in! She was unnoticed, as the box was closed and wheeled to the stage.
"This is it, you guys!" Tommy announced. "For the kitties!" He held out his hand.
"For the kitties!" Phil and Lil stacked their hands over his, then turned to Chuckie and Shenzi.
"F-for the kitties," Shenzi put her hand over Lil's.
Then, all eyes were on Chuckie. "For the kitties," He reluctantly set his hand on Shenzi's, "Ough."
As the magic boxes were loaded, the toddlers jumped in one each, escaping the workers' attention. The boxes were then wheeled on the stage, along with all the others.
"As you can see, zis box is completely empty," Heimlich and Bob opened the box for demonstration, "Devoid of physical matter! Nozing in it! But now, we close ze box!" They closed both doors, unaware of what was going to happen. "We tap on it 3 times with our special Heimlich and Bob hands, to behold...!"
"The fabulous Angelica!" The blonde announced after magically appearing with some rabbits. The audience gasped in shock, mistakenly believing that the magicians use young children in their acts, as the rabbits hopped out.
Outside, the mothers were recovering from the wild rollercoaster, although they seemingly had a great time. But when they saw Angelica on the TV, they stared in bafflement.
Angelica took Heimlich's microphone, then started singing. "My days were just a chore to get through, oh yeah!" They started running to the Rainforest hotel theatre. "Back there at home with nothin' to do! Peyew! Now that I'm away..." She walked in between the showgirls' legs, "Gonna play all day! Whoo!" Heimlich and Bob attempted another magic box, in hopes of winning the audience back, but the audience were even more baffled to see Tommy in the box with a puppy. "I'm gonna stay out, 'til they come and get me!" In another box, Phil was with a weasel. "I wanna dance, and jump, and run!" Lil was revealed with a bunch of doves. In another box, Chuckie was revealed with a skunk, which sprayed once the box was opened. "Wanna go out, and have some fun, yeah!" Chuckie walked out of the box in disgust. In the last one, which the magicians were afraid to open, Shenzi appeared with a kitten. "You can come along! We can sing this song!" Heimlich tried to jump her, but he crashed into a showgirl, and ended up with the first box on his back. "You know we can't go wrong if we're to-gether! One week around here, just not enough! Two weeks around here! Yeah! Now it's time to do the really great stuff!"
Outside the theatre, the ticket woman was annoyedly playing poker with Lou to settle him paying with nickels, when the mothers came dashing in. "Out of our way, mister!" Didi commanded, so the burly man jumped out of the way. The fathers and Lou followed them, with Chaz shunning the man along the way.
"Vacation, all I ever wanted! Vacation, have to get away!" Amongst the mess on the stage, Tommy found the tiger cage, and walked up to it. Angelica was walking away from the magicians and showgirls when they tried to grab her. "Vacation, wish it would never end! Oh yeah!" The mothers ran into the theatre, and to Didi's horror, Tommy was headed for the tiger cage with his toy screwdriver out. "Vacation, all I ever wanted! Vacation, have to get away! Vacation, wish it would never end!" With a Tarzan yell, Didi swung over on a rope, and grabbed Tommy to safety. "One week around here, just not enough!"
On the stage, Heimlich tried to catch Angelica, but was stopped by a bag full of nickels pulling his wig off. The magicians were distracted by Lou's bags as Angelica was safe. He threw his bags on the stage from his standing place on a table, having a great time. "Easy come! Easy go!"
"Two weeks around here! Yeah! Now it's time to do the really great stuff!" Betty, Howard, Chaz, and Friar Tuck managed to retrieve their respective children throughout the excitement, feeling relieved that they were safe and unharmed. The magicians went over to them, angry at the kids for ruining the show, but were stopped by the growling tigers, who were now free from their cage. "Vacation, all I ever wanted! Vacation, have to get away! Vacation, wish it would never end!" Heimlich and Bob tried to run, but slid on some nickels on the stage, and landed in the milk. It splashed out enough to wash over to the tigers, who started lapping it up happily after sniffing it. "Vacation, all I ever wanted! Vacation, have to get away! Vacation, wish it would never end!"
The parents walked up behind the tame tigers, and allowed the kids to pet their soft fur. "Y'know guys, this is the bestest bacation any baby ever had!" Tommy remarked.
"Yeah!" Lil agreed excitedly, along with the rest of their friends.
"Except for the clowns," Chuckie added nervously, and Shenzi nodded in agreement.
"Vacation, all I ever wanted!" The magicians emerged from the milk, Bob putting his wig back on. "Vacation, have to get away! Vacation, my, my, my! Wish it would never end, oh yeah!" Angelica finished her song.
(A/N: Well, there you go! You know the disclaimer. The song "Vacation" doesn't belong to me.)
