Chapter 14: Reptar Show

"Location: Paris, France, September 28th 2000"

The next morning, Tommy, Phil, and Lil were waking Chuckie up.

"Chuckeroo? Chuckie? You've got to get ready!" Tommy said.

Chuckie slowly opened his eyes and looked up at everyone.

"Huh?" Chuckie asked tiredly.

"Angelica says we're going to see the princess in the show with Reptar." Lil replied.

"This could be your chance." Tommy added.

Chuckie gasped happily.

"I'm going to meet the princess?" Chuckie asked excitedly.

"Yep." Tommy replied.

Chuckie hopped out of bed.

"I'm going to see the princess." Chuckie said excitedly. He then stopped and said "Hey, maybe I should get her a present, so she knows just how much I want her to be my new mommy!".

Angelica, who was trying on purple lipstick and looking in a mirror, froze and turned around to face them.

"You want a princess to be your new mommy? But what about Coco?" Angelica asked in surprise.

"Who?" Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil asked in unison.

"Mister Chuckie's dad's girlfriend. The Reptarland lady." Angelica replied angrily.

Tommy climbed down from the bed.

"But that lady's not the princess, Angelica." Tommy said.

Chuckie clasped his hands together.

"Yeah, I'm going to get the real princess as my mommy." Chuckie said.

Angelica stormed over to them.

"Listen up, babies! I'm suppose to ride on a parade with pretty carnations, and none of you dumb babies are gonna mess it up for me!" Angelica yelled angrily.

She then stormed out of the room.

"Wow, I think somebody needs a nap." Phil said.

Later that day, when it was nighttime, the Rugrats and their families, Peter, Mickey, Ling, Yao, Chien-Po, Quasimodo, Adam, Gaston, Frollo, Ratcliffe, Rocko, and Debbie were standing outside a theater in EuroReptarland called 'Reptar Theater'.

"The show's going to start!" Lil said excitedly.

Chien-Po nodded.

"Yes, indeed. I hope it'll be good." Chien-Po said.

Gaston put his hand on the large Chinese soldier's shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. It'll be fine." Gaston said dismissively.

Meanwhile, Chuckie was looking up at a statue of the princess. As he did, Coco pushed herself through a crowd and walked over to the group.

"Bonjour, everyone. Let me take you to your seats." Coco greeted.

Chaz took out his inhaler and walked over to Coco.

"Thank you for the inhaler, Coco. Whatever I wheeze, I'll think of you." Chaz said.

Coco nodded and then made an attempt at trying to bond with Chuckie, but he ran away and hid behind Chaz.

"Oh, he must be excited about the show." Chaz said.

Frollo, who watched what happened, nodded.

"Yes... right." Frollo muttered sarcastically.

Meanwhile, Peter, who had been talking to Didi and Betty, noticed Angelica talking to Coco before running off, but he dismissed it, thinking that it wasn't important, even though he didn't trust or like Coco.

Later, a Reptar show had started. It was at a scene in which Reptar was attacking a village. Mickey, who was sitting next to Rocko and Debbie, was reminded of Fantasmic in the Disney Parks. Eventually, the princess showed up on top of a mountain. Cast members that played villagers were in awe of her. Tommy, Phil, and Lil were watching the scene with anticipation, but Chuckie just watched the princess dreamily. The princess started singing a song about Reptar.

"I hate when they sing." Phil muttered.

Adam, who was sitting on Phil's right side, smirked.

"I get what your saying, Phil. But songs being sung are common in attractions in parks, not just this one. You just have to deal with it." Adam said.

As the princess sung, a screen suddenly appeared behind the princess, who was suddenly pulled behind it. Two seconds later, the princess came back out and continued singing the song. But in reality, the princess was Coco, who had dressed up as the princess after Angelica talked to her. She had told the red haired woman that Chuckie wanted the princess as his mother, so she devised a plan to dress up as the princess in order to deceive Chuckie and Chaz. The two didn't notice the changes, nor did most of the group, but Peter, Yao, Quasimodo, Frollo, Ratcliffe, and Debbie noticed that something was strange about the "princess".

"That's weird. The actor playing the princess looks... different, for some reason." Debbie thought.

Eventually, Chuckie got out of his seat and slowly approached the princess. Ling gasped, since people weren't supposed to interfere with the show.

"Chuckie! Chuckie, get back here!" Ling quietly shouted.

However, Chuckie didn't hear him. He approached the stage as Coco knelt down to face him.

"I'll be with you, forever and a day!" Coco sang.

"Forever and ever?" Chuckie asked.

He held out Wah Wah, which he had brought with him.

"I'll be there for you." Coco replied.

Chaz was amazed.

"Wow. He's sharing Wah Wah." Chaz whispered.

Coco then revealed her face and tossed a fan she was carrying to conceal most of her face away.

"Forever and ever!" Coco exclaimed.

She then grabbed Wah Wah. Chuckie gasped, Dil spit out a pacifier, and Kira stood up in shock.

"Madame LaBouche?" Kira asked in confusion.

Ling, Yao, and Chien-Po felt as surprised as they had the day they found out that Mulan was a woman. Rocko's eyes were as wide as saucers upon seeing who Coco was. And Peter scowled and crossed his arms.

"Hey, wait a minute! She's not supposed to be there!" Peter said.

Coco started pulling Wah Wah away. However, Chuckie grabbed onto it, resulting in a tug-of-war between the two. However, after a few seconds, Coco managed to pull Wah Wah away, but she accidentally pulled Chuckie up into her arms at the same time, having been much stronger then him. Chaz mistook it as a hug, and the crowd applauded for the performance, since it was done.

"That lady's the princess?" Lil asked.

Debbie shook her head.

"I'm not so sure about that, Lil. Something's just not right." Debbie replied.

Chaz stood up and started clapping his hands.

"Bravo! Bravo!" Chaz shouted. The rest of the group turned to look at him, and he turned to them and said "Gosh, you guys, I think Chuckie and I are both in love!".

The rest of the group exchanged looks with each other. Abigail, who was among the audience and wasn't applauding, gasped and slumped down into her seat.

"No! No... I failed. The bleak future is written once more." Abigail whispered.
