Chapter 11: Day In The Park

"Location: Paris, France, September 27th 2000"

The next day, the Rugrats and their families, Peter, Mickey, Ling, Yao, Chien-Po, Quasimodo, Adam, Gaston, Frollo, Ratcliffe, and Debbie were at the EuroReptarland garage, where Stu was overlooking the Reptar robot so he could fix it. Phil and Lil walked up to a giant Robosnails robot and looked up at it with awe.

"Woah, Robosnails." Phil said.

"I think I'm in love!" Lil said.

Meanwhile, Stu was talking up to workers that were fixing the Reptar robot and holding blueprints for it, while the others in the group watched behind him.

"Why didn't you people just follow my design? I used rubber bands and paperclips for a reason!" Stu asked angrily. He walked over to a table cart, put the blueprints on it, and said to the rest of the group "No offense, but this is advanced robotics.".

"Actually, Stu, it's kind of complicated. I'd know because I built things far more advanced then this, such as a time machine." Peter said.

Stu looked back at them and put on red and green gloves.

"Actually, it's not. You just put on the gear, and anything you do, Reptar does." Stu explained.

To demonstrate what he just said, Stu turned back to the Reptar robot and waved his hand. And just like he said, the Reptar robot waved. Stu then walked over to Tommy, and he put a red and green helmet with a Reptar logo on the front on him.

"It's so simply even a child could work it. Right, Champ?" Stu asked.

Tommy nodded. However, the movement caused the Reptar robot to also nod while a worker was fixing inside it's mouth, causing him to fall out. Fortunately, cords stopped his fall before he could hit the ground. Stu quickly took the helmet off of Tommy's head and turned to the worker.

"Sorry!" Stu called out. He then turned back to the others and said "Did I say child? I meant young adult.".

Just then, Coco walked into the garage with Kimi. The dark purple haired baby was trying to squirm her hand out of Coco's, but the red haired woman's grip was firm.

"Bonjour, everyone." Coco greeted. She briefly glared down at Kimi, walked over to Chaz, and asked "Ready to go?".

"Let me just get everyone settled, first." Chaz replied.

A few minutes later, Peter, Chaz, the Rugrats, Kimi, and Coco were standing in front of a sign that was labeled 'Reptar Express'. Coco was talking to Chaz, and as she talked, Peter noticed that she was unnaturally close to him, as if she was trying to get him to fall for her.

"I could listen to your fascinating history all day." Coco said.

"Then I'll tell you all about it, when I get back from the little boy's room." Chaz said. He then asked "Would you mind holding Dil?".

Coco became nervous.

"Um... uh... of course not." Coco replied.

Chaz handed Dil and a bag for him to Coco. As he did, Phil leaned in to Lil and Peter.

"This should be good." Phil whispered.

Peter smirked.

"Indeed." Peter whispered.

Coco held Dil up.

"So, we meet again." Coco said.

Dil blew a raspberry at her. Coco grunted in annoyance.

"Delightful." Coco muttered.

She then pressed a button on a pair of golden triangle earrings that she was wearing, activating earphones that had been built in that connected her to Kira, who was sitting in front of a screen that showed security footage of the park in a security room. Rocko was also there helping her, choosing not to have joined the rest of the group so he could make Kira feel more relaxed in her stressful job.

"Kira, this... child is leaking from the mouth. What do I do?" Coco asked into the earphone.

Kira and Rocko looked at her on one of the security screens.

"You just smile." Kira replied.

Rocko nodded.

"Yeah, and be nice." Rocko added.

Coco scowled.

"Wait, what are you doing there with her?" Coco asked.

"I'm helping Miss Watanabe because my friend, Peter, says you overwork her too much, so I'm helping her in order to help her feel more relaxed." Rocko replied.

Coco cursed silently. She had been the one that sent the ninjas after Peter, so he wouldn't get in the way of her plans, and she had learned about how they had failed because Abigail had shown up. Of course, she didn't know who the dark purple haired teenager was, but she had a feeling that she knew who she was somehow. But she decided that what happened the previous night wasn't that important at the moment. She looked down at Dil and started talking to him sweetly. However, Dil grabbed her bottom lip and wouldn't let go, even when Coco tried to get his hand away. Lil giggled as she and the others watched the scene. Tommy looked at his friends.

"I don't think Dil likes that lady, guys." Tommy said.

Peter nodded.

"To be honest, neither do I. But don't tell anyone that." Peter said.

Dil then started pulling on Coco's hair.

"I don't think she likes Dil too much either." Phil said.

Lil pointed at Coco.

"She's not a very nice lady. She's too pointy." Lil said.

Dil suddenly started to cry.

"Now he's crying. What do I do now?" Coco asked into the earphone.

"Comfort him." Rocko replied.

"Yes, and gently bounce him up and down." Kira added.

Coco started doing as the two said and Dil calmed down, but he also threw up on her. Coco gasped and quickly handed him to Chaz, who had finally shown back up. Kira and Rocko groaned and shook their heads. Chaz sat down with Dil on a park bench, while Coco wiped herself off with a rag.

"You know, according to Lipschitz, Dilly just gave you a gift." Chaz said to Coco.

Coco turned around to face him.

"Why wouldn't he?" Coco asked sarcastically. She then said "After all, children are my life.".

Chaz gasped.

"Hey, I have that quote taped to the refrigerator." Chaz said.

"Pardon?" Coco asked.

"Children are my life. It is a classic." Kira replied.

Chaz and Kira started reciting the poem. Once they were done, Coco frowned and put the rag in a trash can.

"Yes, it's one of my favorites." Coco said unenthusiastically.

Chaz was amazed.

"Wow." Chaz whispered.

He then frowned and looked down to see Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil tugging on his pant legs.

"Oh, dear. Their getting fussy." Chaz said.

"Why don't you take them to Ooey Gooey World?" Kira asked.

"Ooey Gooey World?" Coco asked lowly.

However, Chaz heard her and thought that she was making a suggestion.

"Ooey Gooey World! What a great idea!" Chaz replied.

Peter smirked and crossed his arms.

"Well then, let's go. We have a ride to go on." Peter said.
