Angelica's Adventure Part Eleven

Disclaimer, Rugrats Belongs to its original owners and no infringement is intended.

It was late in the afternoon onboard the Sea-Wise Odyssey while everyone was enjoying themselves in the Sea-Wise Promenade. The Rugrats and Susie were all riding the small roller coaster and the adults were talking to one another.

"You know what's funny" asked Chaz, "I haven't been able to reach my favorite channel on this ship."

"Oh I'm sure…" said William before getting cut off by his cellphone. "Excuse me, I need to take this."

William walked away from the adults to answer his phone. As he did so his son, Anthony, decided to make a move and walk over to the Promenade Barber Shop that was nearby. As he approached he saw a man getting a shaved head and chuckled to himself as he thought of what his Cousin would look like bald…

"Hello" William said into his cell.

"Hello" said a nervous voce on the other end, "This is Matt. Um, how is the cruise and um…"

"Matt!" snapped William "what is going on…"

Anthony entered the Barber Shop and looked around (surprisingly no one had noticed him enter) and spotted just what he needed, an electric hair cutter. He grinned evilly, took the cutter and bolted out of the shop.

Back with William, as he hung up his cellphone he walked back over to the adults with a very worried expression on his face. 'It's over' he thought to himself, 'my career, my wealth, it's all gone. And it's all because of those damn Communist guerrillas. What did I do to deserve this…?'

As William walked back the Rugrats and Susie had finished the coaster ride.

"Wow" said Phil, "that was awesome!"

"I wish we coulds rides it all day!" said Tommy excitingly.

The kids noticed Anthony walking up to them.

"Hey Anthony" said Susie.

"Everyone" said Anthony, "I have obtained a tool of karma." He held up the hair cutter. "It's almost time for the End of Angelica. Do you have your tools?"

Phil pulled out some permanent markers out of his pockets. His twin sister pulled out some large paint tubs from hers. That evil smile crossed Anthony's face.

"Oh, we're goanna get her good" said the five year old as he rubbed his hands together.

Tommy looked at the tools and felt slightly guilty.

"Hey, Anthony" asked the two year old Pickles boy.

"What is it, Tommy" returned Anthony.

"Um, are you sure all this stuff is necessary to punish Angelica" asked Tommy.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I'm afraid we might really hurt Angelica's feelings."

"Tommy" said Anthony, "has Angelica ever cared for your feelings? Think about all those times she called you dumb baby. Think about all those time she stressed out you're mommy and daddy. Think about all you favorite toys she destroyed, like your Super Duper Reptar Ball."

Tommy felt anger build up as he remembered all of the things his naughty cousin had done to him.

"Tommy" said Anthony, "Angelica doesn't deserve to have any self-worth. She deserves to have her feelings hurt. And that's what we are going to do."

Elsewhere in the Promenade Drew, Charlotte, and Angelica Pickles were in a glass shop looking at all the beautiful cups, plates, and sculptures. As they looked, the four year old blond looked out of the shop's window and down by the rides. She saw the Rugrats, Susie and her Stupid Cousin, Anthony all having a good time. She sighed while hoping they'd accept her apology later.

As Angelica was thinking, Charlotte's cellphone rang. Surprisingly (almost impossibly) the woman's phone had not rang at all during the cruise up until now. She saw that it was her assistant, Jonathan and, answered it.

"Jonathan!" Charlotte barked into the phone, "I thought I made it clear that I wasn't supposed to get calls during my vacation!"

"I'm so sorry Miss Pickles" said Jonathan sounding far more worried and stressed out than ever, "But it's urgent."

"What?" demanded Charlotte, "am I not getting that promotion for…?"

"N-no it's not that" said Jonathan, "it's our resource and labor forces in the Republic of North East Africa… or rather the Socialist Republic of North East Africa as it's called now."

"W-what" asked Charlotte quietly.

"Communists have taken over that country and have taken over our factories and destroyed our corporate headquarters there. And without North East Africa, our company is toast. I'm afraid… *gulp* … I'm afraid that Mega Corp is gone along with Ultra Corp."

Charlotte went pail and dropped her cellphone causing it to break in to several pieces. She just stood there in silence with her mouth agape.

Meanwhile Angelica who was holding a glass statue of a dolphin had noticed her mom's look.

"Mommy" asked Angelica walking over to her mother, "are you okay…" The blond didn't realize that her shoe laces were untied and tripped over them sending the glass dolphin into the air and onto the floor where it shattered. At that moment Charlotte snapped.

"ANGELICA CHARLOTTE PICKLES!" screamed Charlotte at the top of her lungs.

"But, but, Mommy…!"

Charlotte grabbed Angelica's arm and yanked the blond to her feet than raised her own arm and smacked the little girl hard on her face. Angelica fell back to the floor and looked up at her mother in shock for a moment before crying and screaming hysterically. She ran to her father.

"Charlotte!" snapped Drew as Angelica ran up and embraced him.

"Don't Charlotte me!" yelled his wife, "somebody had to discipline her!" she than ran out of the shop yelling for her brother like a hysterical teenager.

Angelica continued to sob in Drew's arms as everyone in the shop just looked in silence.

"It's okay, Princess" Drew told Angelica.
