A/N: hey guys! I just got back from college for winter break! Woot woot! I can't say there will be a ton of updates this time because I will be doing some research for my thesis during the break… and my thesis is a little bit more important. None the less, there will be updates. Also, many ideas for my next fan fiction involving all these characters are slowly coming together. I won't spoil who I'm writing about next… but It'll be another story about love. Also, the reason I didn't update sooner was because I was doing a few concept drawings of the characters from this story! If you look up "Rugrats Grow Up and Smile" on Deviant Art, they'll pop up! Defiantly check them out :3 Anyways, enjoy chapter 14!

Disclaimer: I still do NOT own the Rugrats or Rugrats: all grown up; that is Nickelodeon's stuff. Also, all the characters are at least 18, so any implied or not-so- implied sexual activity is a-okay :D

Chapter 14: Day Three: Night

Just as we were getting ready to go to the movies, Lil stopped us. Needless to say, we were a little confused by this. We were all ready to go, and we knew the plan. All we needed to do was find Harold, attack him to the ground, and grab angelica if she's with him, then the police take him away. If not, we interrogate him with the police to find out where she is. But Lil didn't feel the same.

"You guys need disguises! Duh!" she rolled her eyes

"Why the hell would we need disguises anyway, Lillyann?" Phil snared. "They're really fucking gay."

"Philup! That's offensive first off, and second off, I did a little research about this avengers showing. This is not just another movie showing, they're actually having the stars of the film make an appearance to answer any questions fans may have. This is a very underground event… only the nerdest of the nerds know about this showing. Anyone going had to preregister months ago. We can't go to an event like that dressed like this. In order to blend in, we need to dress up like nerds." Lil explained.

"If this is such a private event, how are we even getting in?" I asked concernedly

"Well," Tommy started "the police informed the heads of the event that we're coming and to let us in if we just show them our drivers licenses… but as for disguises… good idea, Lil! Let's do it!" Tommy smiled

"Yay!" Lil shouted as she took us each, one by one and transformed us into nerds. I probably should have explained from the beginning that Lil is majoring in cosmetology and makeup design with a minor in fashion… so any chance she has to mess with our appearance, she will take it. She made everyone into a nerd except me. When I asked her why, she simply said "I also did a little research on hipsters… since this event is very low key, this event is a hipster magnet, so I don't need to nerd you up!" I knew this wasn't exactly what hipsters would go to, seeing that celebrities were going to be there and a very popular movie was being shown, but I decided not to correct her… I really liked what I was wearing anyways. I could barely recognize the others. Everyone looked like a nerd… the type you would want to beat up… everyone looked terrible except for Tommy. He looked a little like a hipster… and really cute…

Then we were finally off to the movie premiere. I looked at Tommy and found him slightly shaking and gripping the fabric of his black skinny jeans. I knew there was a reason he wanted to sit in the back of the van… I softly placed my hand on top of his and he slowly turned towards me with a worried expression. I smiled and whispered "we're going to find her and everything will go back to the way it was…" I wasn't quite sure about that… but anything to give me that sparkle of confidence in his eyes…

He smiled and hugged me and whispered "Thanks…" A slight blush painted its way across my face as his scent engulfed my nostrils. The car made a quick stop as we all exited out. I quickly put my fedora on and started quickly walking towards the entrance. The two entrance security guards said in a stern tone "badges, please." Tommy simply pulled out his ID and the two guards looked at each other and nodded. They handed us our passes and we started walking in. The little theater had a large lobby, filled with many tables trying to leech on to nerd's guilty pleasures and have them buy something before going in. Though Lil said this was a very exclusive event, this little theater was full of people. Seeing this, Tommy quickly huddled us together and whispered "lets split up… If you find him, get any staff member's attention by saying the key word… okay?"

"what's the key word exactly?" Phil asked

"Batman" Tommy smiled "okay?" Everyone nodded and we split up. As I was walking around, I got a little distracted by the awesome tables around. As I was observing the "chemistry of superheros" table, I heard that familiar nasal voice say "Hey Chuck! I knew you would find out about this shindig!" I turned around and there was Harold with a seemingly drugged Angelica holding his hand. She was wearing one of his old dirty shirts with her shorts. I saw many scratch marks on his arms… the idea that Angelica struggled to get away made my teeth grind, but I had to keep my composure for Tommy. I tried to smile and say "hey Harold. How are you doing?"

He smiled "great! I ran into the love of my life at a party and we really hit it off! She's a little out of it though cause of the crazy night we had! Right, honey?" Angelica's seemingly lifeless head slowly nodded. I felt myself heavily breathing, trying desperately to keep myself calm, but he didn't seem to notice. He continued "let me introduce you two! Chuck, this is Angelica! Angelica, this is my friend from college, Chuck!" Then, the seemingly lifeless Angelica looked at me with her blank gaze and said helplessly "…Chuckie…?" My eyes widened at the sound of Angelica's damaged and scared voice.

That's when I lost it. "YOU BASTARD!" I punched him and watched him fall to the ground. I caught myself repeatedly screaming "BATMAN BATMAN BATMAN!" as I shook with anger. Just as I went in to kick him, I felt someone holding me back and saw a security guard pin Harold down and handcuff him. I turned around to see Phil struggling with me saying "calm down, Chuckie!"

Then I saw Tommy come towards me and I suddenly felt weak in my knees and everything became blurry as I fell to the floor.
