The Pregnancy Part Ten: Visiting the Confederacy Episode One
Disclaimer, All Grown Up belongs to its original owners and no infringement is intended. Peter belongs to TCKing12.
The next morning, after her night with her mom and her cousin, Angelica Pickles was checking her emails and saw that Peter Albany had sent her a message. Angelica decided to view the email and saw that it was an invitation for her to visit his Kingdom, the Confederacy. The email also informed her that her family and friends had also received similar invitations.
Of course, Angelica happily accepted. Given how stressful her life has been lately, she was looking forward to a nice vacation in the Confederacy. However, after discussing the plans for the trip with Peter over the phone one day she realized that she had invited her mother, Charlotte, to go with her. Not that she was opposed to her mother coming along necessarily but she knew that it would be rather awkward.
Angelica also found out that boyfriend Timmy McNulty could come along, which of course she was very happy about. But then he learned that the rest of Timmy's family could come along. This included his Grandfather, Conan McNulty, which when he found out that he was vacationing with his old rival (and Angelica's Grandfather) Lou Pickles, he managed to stir up some tension. One thing that has always annoyed both Angelica and Timmy was the drama that always occurred between their grandfathers.
At least Anthony wasn't invited; Angelica didn't tell Peter about him being in Yucaipa but she told her mom that he wasn't invited which she believed.
Later that week, everyone headed to the airport to catch a plane to in route to the Confederacy.
While at the airport, Angelica noticed several of her old friends approaching her.
"Hi, Angelica" said Susie Carmichael.
"Long time, no see" Added Chuckie Finster.
"Hey, Susie, hey Chuckie" said Angelica hugging her friends.
"Hey there, Angelica" said Kimi Finster coming up.
"Hi, Kimi" said Angelica.
"Hey, Angelica" said Lil Deville.
"Hey, Angie" said Phil.
"Hey Lil, hey, Phil" replied Angelica, "Wow, it's been a little while since we've seen each other. I guess I've just been so busy with."
"Hey, everyone" said Zoey Anderson coming up to the all grown up Rugrats crowd.
"Hey, Zoey" replied Susie.
"Attention" said a man's voice over speakers, "the next flight to the Confederacy is ready to be boarded."
"That's us" said Angelica as everyone boarded the plane.
Given that the Confederacy is located a mere twelve miles off the coast of California, the plane trip only took about an hour.
During the flight Angelica was sitting next to Timmy.
'Man, this flight is more awkward then I had anticipated' Angelica thought to herself. Not only were both her divorced parents onboard (though sitting on different ends of the cabin) but also her Grandpa Lou and Timmy's Grandpa Conan. Nothing could ever end that lifelong rivalry between the two older men. Even when their grandchildren started dating, all it did was make the tension worse.
Angelica would often get passive aggressive remarks or "hints" from Lou as well. Comments usually ranged from "why that McNulty kid?!" to "I sure hope that boy of yours treats you right." Of course her Step Grandma, Lulu would often stand up for her and say "that's none of your business, Lou."
Poor Timmy had it a little worse with his own grandfather though. Upon first informing Conan of him dating Angelica his first response was "come on, Timmy, you can do better than that." Talk about embarrassing grandparents.
"You okay, Babe" asked Timmy.
"Huh, oh" replied Angelica, "yeah, I'm fine; just a little bored."
"At least our flight to the Confederacy isn't supposed to take too long" said Zoey Anderson, who was also sitting near Angelica and Timmy.
"I just realized something" said Angelica, "have you ever been to the Confederacy before, Timmy."
"Me and my family went on a vacation there once a long time ago" said Timmy. "We stayed in the city of Underwood."
"Isn't that where their nuclear arsenal is built" asked Zoey.
"I believe so" replied Angelica.
"I hear that Richmond is supposed to be really beautiful" said Timmy.
"Oh, it is" said Zoey, "and just wait until you see Peter's castle, it's gorgeous."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking" said a woman's voice over the plain's speakers, "we are now entering Confederate airspace and should be landing here shortly. Also, if you look out of your windows you can see the Confederacy's beaches coming into view."
Angelica looked out of her window and saw that they were indeed flying over the Confederacy's beaches.
Soon the plane landed in the Richmond Airport right outside the City of Richmond, the capital of both the Virginia Zone and the Confederacy as a whole.
Everyone got out of the plain and left the airport to head to Peter's castle which was a beautiful dark red and black five story structure. Peter himself was standing at its entrance, wearing his gray uniform.
"Hey everyone" said Peter smiling.
"Hey Peter" replied several of the adults.
"Hi Peter" said Angelica.
"Hey, Angelica, I'm so glad that you could make it" said Peter.
"Hello, you're Majesty" said Timmy.
"Hello, Timmy" said Peter, "and just call me Peter, I'm not one for formalities."
"Hey, Pete" said Zoey.
"Hey, Zoey" replied the King, "it's been a long time since I've seen…"
"Why, hello, you're Majesty, King Peter the First of the Confederacy" cut in Charlotte as she ran up to the king and bowed. "I take it that you remember me, I'm Charlotte Collins, formerly Charlotte Pickles; I've taken back my maiden name. I'm the mother of Angelica here."
'Talk about over doing it, Mom' thought Angelica as she rolled her eyes.
"Uh, yes, I do indeed remember you" replied Peter, "and I'm glad you were able to come along with your daughter to my kingdom. Also, like I was telling Timmy, you don't have to use formal tittles when addressing me; I prefer to just be called by my first name."
"Alright, Peter, I'll remember that" said Charlotte in a flirtatious tone which, by the look on Peter's face, only made him uncomfortable.
"Well, why don't you all come on in" said Peter, "my staff will show you to your rooms. Also, tonight you're all invited to dinner with me at around six-thirty."
"How could I refuse the King's invitation" said Charlotte in the creepy flirty tone again.
"And you don't need to dress up or anything" said Peter, trying to ignore Charlotte, "it'll just be a calm dinner."
"We'd love to come" said Angelica.
Everyone was then led inside and up a huge grand stare case to their rooms. Angelica and Timmy even got to share a room which was a very luxurious suite with a king sized bed, a flat screen television, a large window overlooking the outside, and a bathroom with a jocose tub.
"Wow, this is even nicer then that hotel I stayed at in Underwood" said Timmy.
"I think I'm goanna take a bath and get a little rest before dinner" said Angelica before giving Timmy a smirk and wink. "Wanna join me?"
"Boy, do I" replied Timmy.
Angelica and Timmy then walked into the bathroom together.
Meanwhile, back at the Richmond Airport, about a couple hours after the first plane had landed, a second one did. Soon the passengers, some of them tourists, others Confederate citizens, all got off just as they would do any day. 'Nothing unusual,' thought Anthony Collins as he stepped out of the plane along with the others, 'nothing unusual at all.' That trademark sinister grin spread across his scarred face. None of the people around him had any idea about his evil intensions.
End of Part Ten
