Author's Note: I see this upcoming chapter being super long, so get ready, and Happy Halloween everybody!
Chapter 36, Bonus, Halloween Party and Tons of Questions
It was that time of year again. That time of year when the nights are growing longer, the air is crisp, and the leaves are falling off the trees. However, it also meant another special time of year. A time for jackelanterns, skeletons, and vampires. Not to mention, trick or treating and candy. Yep that's right, it's Halloween, and for the Rugrats and their families, it meant it was time, for the annual Halloween party at Peter's castle.
They all arrived on the evening of the Halloween party. Well, almost everyone. Taffy and her band were providing the entertainment for her school's Halloween party, which Alisa Carmichael was also attending, so the two of them went off to that, while Buster and Edwin Carmichael attended a Halloween party at their elementary school with Buster's friend Sticky and his family, and they'd be spending the night at his house afterwards. And where the elderly folks were concerned, Lou and Lulu were attending a Halloween party at their retirement home, while Boris and Minca didn't attend any Halloween parties, because they're not big on celebrating that particular holiday. They'd prefer to go to evening services at their sinnogog that night and treat it like it were another ordinary day. So the only people to attend Peter's Halloween party were Randy, Lucy, and their daughter Susie Carmichael, Drew, Charlotte, and their daughter Angelica Pickles, Chas, Kira, and their kids, Chuckie and Kimi Finster, Howard, Betty, and their twins, Phil and Lil Deville, Stu, Didi, and their boys, Tommy and Dil Pickles, Dana, Laura, and their son, Jesse Barrow, Celeste, and her nephew Zack Wehrenberg, and where their friends, the authors and fans are concerned, the ones attending this party were Celrock, Boris Yeltsin, Dbug27, Vinzgirl, Sovietlollipop, TCKing12, and Olaughlinhunter. DemonAloisTrancy and Nairobi-harper received invitations, but they were sadly, unable to attend. Poor Nairobi-harper had to go into the hospital to have her appendix out, and only had her appendectomy just a few short hours prior to the start of the party, and poor DemonAloisTrancy, she broke her arm earlier in the week, and felt it was best, that she not go to a big party and rest. That would also explain why she hasn't updated Tommy Pickles: The Terrible Twos in a while, because when somebody breaks their arm, it does make it difficult to type on a computer. Even worse, her teachers weren't being understanding of her broken arm making it more difficult for her to get assignments done, causing her to fail. This was very unfair, and if this kept up, she and her parents were planning to threaten to sue her professors for such ill treatment.
Peter was planning to have the gang help him make a get well card for Nairobi-harper that they'd send to her in the mail, and on the day before the Halloween party, everybody paid DemonAloisTrancy a visit, and each of the babies drew pictures on her cast. Her favorite one so far was a picture of Reptar that Tommy drew for her. Everybody felt bad for Nairobi-harper and DemonAloisTrancy, and hoped they would feel better soon. However, now wasn't the time to worry about their friends. Now was the time, to go put on their costumes, and have a blast at Peter's Halloween party, because that's what their friends would want them to be doing.
Peter's castle was decorated on the outside with orange and black streamers, and on the inside, it looked like a haunted house, complete with glow in the dark skeletons, jackelanterns, and bats hanging from the ceiling. Not only were there some tall skeletons that were the size of adults, but there were some baby skeletons too, provided by Boris Yeltsin and Olaughlinhunter! Everybody arrived at Peter's castle, dressed in their Halloween costumes. Celrock dressed as a spider, Boris Yeltsin dressed up as a vampire, dbug27 dressed up as a witch, Sovietlollipop dressed up as a pirate, Vinzgirl dressed up as Elsa from Frozen, Olaughlinhunter dressed up as Okey-dokey Jones, and TCKing12 dressed up as an invisible soldier from Fire Emblem.
Where the characters and their families were concerned, none of the adults were all that interested in dressing up. In costumes, so they all compromised, and wore festive Halloween shirts instead, along with a pair of blue jeans or comfortable pants, either black or dark blue to complement their black and orange Halloween tops complete with pumpkins, vampires, or ghosts and skeletons on the front. Each of the kids though, came dressed up in different costumes. Susie dressed up as Jelly Bear from the Dummi Bears, Angelica dressed up as Cynthia, Chuckie dressed up as Jumpy the Squirl from Curious George. He wanted to dress up as Compass the Pigeon, but Party City was all out of Compass costumes, so he settled on Jumpy instead. Kimi had her mommy make her a Super Thing costume, which she wore to the party, while Zack could still fit into his Reptar costume from the previous year, so he dressed up as Reptar again. Phil and Lil dressed up as spiders, matching Celrock's costume, while Tommy dressed up as Okey-Dokey Jones, matching up with Olaughlinhunter. And Jesse dressed up as Hank the octopus from Finding Dory, while Dil, getting a very unique idea from the Curious George Boo Fest special, where George dressed up as the Man with the Yellow Hat, Dil got a purple wig, and a smaller size of Tommy's clothes, he dressed up as his big brother. Though while it was very original, it was also a bit confusing at first to Peter, who answered the door, dressed up as the beast from Beauty and the Beast.
"AAAHHH! Oh no, it's the beast. He's not gonna let us in his castle, is he." Chuckie cried, upon Peter dressed as the beast answering the door.
"That might be true if I were the real beast, as heck, I know he forbid Christmas from the castle, as seen in Beauty and the Beast, the Enchanted Christmas, so chances are he forbid Halloween too, but I'm not really the beast. I'm just dressed as him for Halloween. It's me, Peter, please, come on in." Peter greeted, stepping aside to let everybody come inside his haunted castle.
Looking over everybody, he saw to him that Tommy didn't come dressed up as anything.
"Well Tommy, where's your costume?" Peter asked.
"What are you talking about? I'm not really Tommy, I'm Dil! I'm just dressed up as Tommy this year for Halloween." Dil cried.
"Yep, he got the idea from Curious George, right Dil?" Zack asked.
"Yep. George in the Boo Fest special dressed up as The Man with the Yello Hat, so I decided to do something similar, dressing up as my bestest and onliest big brother evrer!" Dil replied.
"Yep that's right, and by the way, I'm Tommy." A small voice cried from beneath an Okey-Dokey Jones hat.
"Aha, you came as Okey-dokey Jones, and I see you and Olaughlinhunter here must have coordinated costumes together." Peter said.
"Yep that's right." Tommy and Olaughlinhunter said in unison, as everybody headed into Peter's living room, where they all took seats on the wrap around orange couch.
The orange couch had some strings of black garlen strung around the back, to dress it up for the festivities. Once everybody was seated, the kids looked around the room and couldn't help but notice there were baby skeletons along with the tall, adult sized ones.
"Wow you guys, look!" Chuckie cried, pointing to a couple of baby skeletons that sat across the room.
"Baby skeletons!" All of the toddlers cried in unison.
"You like them?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Do we ever!" Tommy cried.
"Thank you. Olaughlinhunter helped me make those." Boris Yeltsin said.
"He did?" Chuckie asked.
"Uh huh. Remember back at the end of the summer when we all went to Olaughlinhunter's place for a slumber party and he gave me the Age Decreaser to use for my first Fan Fic story?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Yeah! We saw you two putting it into your car the nextest day when we lefted his house after breakfast." Lil said.
"Well, since then, Olaughlinhunter came over to my place, and helped me assemble it. Then, to show me how it worked, because Peter asked us to help with decorations for his Halloween party, we decided to get a bunch of those 3-D skeletons at Party City, and to show me how to use the machine, we placed several of the adult sized skeletons in front of the beam, and turned them into baby skeletons." Boris Yeltsin explained.
"Wow neat!" Kimi cried.
"I thought so. And this way, Boris Yeltsin could get practice with using the machine, without actually harming any real humans the first few times, since obviously, those skeletons are just pretend." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Neat!" Susie cried.
Everybody made small talk in Peter's living room, while listening to various classic Halloween tunes on his stereo. At a point, he came around with a large card made out of orange construction paper, and on the front, it said Get Well Soon Nairobi-harper, in large sparkly green letters decorated with glitter. He opened up the piece of bright orange paper, which was blank, and had everybody sign their names on the inside of the card. When he got to Tommy, he asked a question.
"How's DemonAloisTrancy gonna sign the card? She's not here." Tommy asked.
"Not to worry Tommy. I spoke with her earlier today on the phone, and I agreed to sign the card for her on her behalf, since with her arm being broken, it makes it difficult for her to write right now. The poor thing, had to break her dominate arm." Peter said.
"Don't worry Peter, I'm sure she'll be better in no time." Tommy said, obviously not knowing that a broken arm can take weeks to heal.
Peter simply smiled, and once the card had been passed around, he signed his name and DemonAloisTrancy's name at the bottom of the list, before having one of his servants place the card in a large white envelope, ready to take to Nairobi-harper at the hospital the following day. After this, everybody continued to make small talk with one another, until the bell went off, signaling that it was time for dinner in the royal dining room.
"Dinner, is served. Everyone, please, follow me." Peter instructed, as everybody got up from their places on the orange couch and followed him into the dining room.
The table was decorated in an orange and black striped table cloth, and the dinner consisted of a choice of ham or chicken for meats, corn on the cob, squash, and sweet potatoes for vegetables, and as a joke, Peter claimed they'd be drinking blood, but in actuality, it was red cranberry apple juice.
This made Chuckie and Chas a little bit nervous at first, but Tommy and Peter reassured them that it was only juice, everything would be fine. Not long after everybody started dining on their Halloween feast, the loads of questions, began.
"Well, I'll ask the first question." Sovietlollipop said.
"What is it Sovietlollipop?" Jesse asked.
"Actually Jesse, I have a question for Zack. What would you do if you were President of the United States?" Sovietlollipop asked.
Zack thought about it before answering his question, not to mention, he was chewing up a bite of chicken in his mouth at the time. Once he chewed and swallowed, he was ready to answer Sovietlollipop's question.
"Hmmm, now that's, an interesting question! Well, if I was Presidennt of the United States, I would make sure there were enough jobs for everybody, I'd get rid of all destructive weapons like bombs, and I'd see that we lived side by side with the rest of the world in peace." Zack replied.
"Oh wow, very interesting Zack." Sovietlollipop commented.
"Hey wait a minute, I always thought it was the B Nited States." Chuckie said.
"No Chuckie, we actually live in the United States." Zack said.
"Oh, so I was saying the wrong letter all this time?" Chuckie asked, blushing in embarrassment.
"Yeah, but don't sweat it Chuckie, it's all good." Zack said with a smile.
Chuckie breathed a sigh of relief, before going back to eating his supper.
"I have some questions too. First, to everyone, what video games have you played?" TCKing12 asked.
"Pinball and Pond!" Stu, Drew, Chas, Howard, Dana, and Randy all replied in unison.
"That Dummi Bears video game that Chuckie had back when he was rich. Me, Phillip and Tommy all played that." Lil replied.
"Yeah, until Chuckie tooked it away from us." Phil added.
"Sorry guys, but you weren't playing with me. You were more interested in all of my new fancy toys than playing with me." Chuckie said.
"It's okay Chuckie." Tommy said.
"Oh TCKing12, you know very well that I've played several video games within my lifetime, including MarioKart, Mario Party, and Super Smash Brothers to name a few." Peter said.
And other than those particular characters, nobody else had an answer for him, because, nobody else in the room had ever played video games before, either because they had yet to play any, or they didn't interest them in the least, where the adult women were concerned.
"Zack, what are some of the memories of your parents, including your sweetest and worst memories?" TCKing12 asked.
"Well, I don't have a lot of memories of my parents, but I vaguely remember snuggling with my mommy right before going to sleep, and my daddy reading books to me. He use to read me this really special book called Green Eggs and Ham, and he'd use all sorts of funny voices too. And as for not so happy memories, well there was the terrible house fire that taked my mommy and daddy away from me, and I vaguely recall this one time when we were stuck in a snow storm, traveling home from some place the previous winter before that fire tooked mommy and daddy away, and we couldn't get home because of the bad weather. All any of us could see was white out the windows of the car. I can't remember where we were coming from, I just remember being in the car forever, and I was such a tiny baby-baby, that it wasn't much fun for me. Eventually, I think I fell asleep, and when I waked up, we were back home. Don't tell me how mommy and daddy made it through a white world, but they somehow did it." Zack explained.
"Wow, very interesting. Sounds like you and your parents were stuck in a blinding snow storm, but glad they eventually made it out of the storm alive, and got you home, safe and sound." TCKing12 said.
"Yeah, me too." Zack replied.
"And I have one more question, but sadly, it's for Lou Pickles, and he's not with us this evening." TCKing12 said with disappointment.
"You're not the only one, I have a question for Lou too." Dbug27 said.
"Well, you two have teleporting powers. He's attending a Halloween party at the Withering Oaks Retirement Home. Why don't you two quickly teleport yourselves to his party to ask him your questions, and then, come back here to join us." Peter suggested.
"Now that's, a great idea! Thanks Peter." Dbug27 said.
"Yes, thank you." TCKing12 said.
"We'll keep dinner warm for you." Peter said.
"No need. Come on dbug27, let's go." TCKing12 said, as he and dbug27 got up from their places at the table, stood against the back of the dining room, held hands, and vanished in a flash of bright yellow light.
Upon emerging from the flash of yellow light, they found themselves on the Withering Oaks dance floor, with several elderly people dressed in Halloween costumes, dancing around. Dbug27 then spotted Lou and Lulu over by a dessert table, Lou and Lulu dressed as Fred and Ethyl from I Love Lucy. Using their flying abilities, they flew over the crowd of dancing elderly people, until they landed right in front of the dessert table, directly across from Lou and Lulu. Startled, Lou nearly dropped the glass of punch and pumpkin spice cookie he had in his hand.
"Jumping your hearts at that. Dbug27, TCKing12, what are you two doing here?" Lou asked.
"No need to be alarmed Lou, we just have some questions for you." TCKing12 said.
"Well please hurry, the band will be playing mine and Lulu's song in fifteen minutes!" Lou said.
"No worries, we'll make this quick. I'll go first. Lou, what are some of your memories from the war?" TCKing12 asked.
"Well I have lots of them, like the times the army would joke that I was dating Lady Luck, or the times I went into battle. I made fifteen fox wholes in fifteen minutes, and was really good at crawling under barbed wire on my belly by the time I ended my service. Goodness TCKing12, I could go on all night." Lou replied.
"Oh wow, very interesting. Well, I have a question too. To Lou, what's your first memory?" Dbug27 asked.
"Well, I'd say that would have to be the day my brother Sparky was born. It took us fifteen hours just to get to the hospital and have him delivered, I thought I was going to lose my mind! But when I saw my little brother for the first time, my heart melted like you wouldn't believe. Gosh, I miss that younger brother." Lou said, starting to tear up, just as the disc jockey made an announcement.
"And now, this next song is for Lou and Lulu Pickles." The disc jockey said on the opposite side of the dance floor.
"We'd better be going, they're playing our song." Lulu said, as she grabbed Lou's arm, and they rushed off to the dance floor.
"See ya and Happy Halloween!" Dbug27 and TCKing12 cried, before vanishing in a flash of bright yellow light, teleporting themselves back to Peter's castle.
By the time they came back, the rest of the group was just about ready for dessert, only they were patiently waiting, making small talk with one another until TCKing12 and dbug27 returned, being able to finish their meals on their plates. Of course, their food grew cold within the time they were away.
"So, how was Lou?" Peter asked.
"He's doing great!" TCKing12 replied.
"Yes, they were having a grand old time at their Halloween party, and just as we left, he and Lulu were about to dance to their song." Dbug27 added.
"What did they dress up as for this year at Halloween?" Olaughlinhunter asked.
"Fred and Ethyl, from I Love Lucy." Dbug27 replied.
"Oh wow I see." Olaughlinhunter said, as TCKing12 used his electromagnetic powers to heat up the food on his and dbug27's plates.
Once the food was reheated by TCKing12's powers, they saw to finishing their supper, while dbug27 asked her questions to the rest of the group.
"To everyone, what's your favorite holiday?" Dbug27 asked.
"Christmas!" All of the toddlers cried in unison, except for Susie and Jesse.
"Halloween!" Jesse cried.
"Valentine's Day!" Susie cried.
And where the adults are concerned, here are their answers.
"Halloween." Stu replied.
"Thanksgiving." Drew replied.
"I agree with my daughter, I like Valentine's Day too." Randy replied.
"I'm a fan of Arbor Day myself." Lucy replied.
"That's not a real holiday." Betty protested.
"I think it's a lovely holiday, to celebrate Mother Nature." Didi commented.
"Would you say that's your favorite holiday Didi?" Dbug27 asked.
"Well actually no. I'm partial to Passover myself." Didi replied.
"My favorite is Easter." Chas replied.
"I'm partial to a holiday from my home country of Japan called Children's Day." Kira replied.
"I like the Fourth of July." Dana replied.
"Me too." Laura added.
"I'd say it's a toss up between Thanksgiving and Christmas, though I'm gonna go with Christmas for my answer here." Celeste replied.
"Well I've always been a fan of Labor Day." Howard replied.
"I've always liked Martin Luther King Day." Lucy replied.
"I like them all, but ever since the pups were born I'd have to say my favorite holiday now days is Mother's Day." Betty replied.
"And I like Veterin's Day." Peter replied.
"I don't really have a favorite holiday. It takes away from getting work done." Charlotte replied.
"I see. Interesting." Dbug27 commented.
"So, gots anymore questions for us Dbug27?" Tommy asked.
"Yep, I sure do. To the kids, favorite winter activity and least favorite cold weather activity?" Dbug27 asked.
"Well, we can all agree that making snow babies is fun, right guys?" Tommy asked the other toddlers.
"Right." Everybody replied, except for Phil.
"Not me. I prefer throwing snowballs more. I'd rather make stuff out of mud and sand. Snow don't taste as good after the project is finished, and it melts." Phil said.
"And I don't like throwing snowballs cuz you never know when one's gonna hit you and it always feels really cold." Chuckie said.
"I like making snow angels." Susie said.
"Me too! Specially since mine are better than yours Susie." Angelica said with an evil smile.
"Oh, we'll just see about that when winter gets here Angelica." Susie replied.
"And I'm not a fan of building snowmen neither." Angelica said.
"I like building snowmen, but I agree with Chuckie, I'm not much for snowball fights either." Susie added.
"Very interesting. And now, my final question before we take a break for Peter to dish up our dessert. To the adults, what was your worst injury?" Dbug27 asked.
"When I fell off the bleachers at the high school football game and broke my glasses." Chas replied.
"Oh that's nothing. Try being age five, and falling off the couch, hitting your forehead really hard on the living room coffee table. Had to get stitches!" Drew cried.
"Or being two-years-old and scraping your knee for the first time on the sidewalk at the park." Didi said.
"I was involved in a car accident at the age of two. If you think stitches in your forehead is pretty bad, try having the back of your head stapled back together." Randy said.
"I twisted my ankle at the age of eight while running in a three legged race at school. Now that, was painful." Lucy replied.
"Well I hurt my back trying to carry lunch trays when working as an assistant janitor in high school. My back has never been the same since then." Howard replied.
"Try pulling a muscle in your shoulder when trying to get your one-year-old daughter off of a ride at Euroreptarland she's not suppose to be on just two days after starting my job there. Not fun. It hurt for over a week too! And it surely made lifting Kimi difficult until it healed." Kira replied.
"While my arm healed after Drew and I did Fairy Tale Finale in elementary school, breaking it, sure did hurt." Stu replied.
"Ha! That's nothing! Try spraining your foot when jumping off a trampaleen in junior high school. Not fun!" Betty replied.
"I broke my leg skiing when I was seven. That wasn't pleasant." Peter said.
"Oh that's nothing. Try falling on your face on an icy sidewalk while in the first grade. I had stitches on my face for the Valentine's Day party, and I looked ridiculous!" Charlotte replied.
"Like Randy, I had staples in the back of my head, only I was hit hard with a tenniss racket, then toppled over, hitting my head hard on a pile of rocks when I was in college." Dana replied.
"And I hurt my knee in high school playing Vollyball. Took several weeks of physical therapy before I found I could use it without hurting." Laura replied.
"Oh my goodness! For me, I had an incident similar to Drew's as a young child, only for me, it was running into the brick wall at preschool, having to get stitches in my forehead, right above my left eyebrow." Celeste replied.
"Wow! Now those, were some very unpleasant injuries for sure. Glad you all recovered from them though." Dbug27 said.
All of the adults nodded in agreement, just as Peter stood up at the end of the table, and tapped a spoon on a glass to get everyone's attention.
"Everybody, it's time for dessert, and because you all cleared your plates, we're going to have Reptar bars for the kids, and humble pie for the adults for dessert tonight." Peter announced.
All of the toddlers cheered with delight at the sound of this, while the adults looked in Peter's direction and smiled. Shortly after, servants dressed in black and orange aprons came in, carrying slices of pie on plates for each of the adults, and handed each child a plate with a Reptar bar on it. Once everybody had their dessert, they started eating, and the next person went on to ask their questions.
"I have some questions." Vinzgirl piped up and said in between fork fulls of her pie.
"You do?" Kimi asked.
"Yep. First, a question for the adults. What is your favorite thing to cook?" Vinzgirl asked.
"Ham and swiss cheese omlets." Randy replied.
"Salmon sooflay, the same dinner I cooked for Randy's boss, Paul Gaspy the last time he came over." Lucy replied.
"You mean that time I had to wear that stupid Dummi Bears costume to your house." Angelica griped with half a Reptar bar still in her mouth.
"And when we had that food fight." Stu remarked.
"And when we tried to impress Paul with our love for the Dummi Bears? Heck, I recall doing my impression of Looney Bear. Wanna hear it again?" Betty asked.
"No no no! Please, don't!" All of the adults cried, except for Peter, who stared in confusion at this whole thing.
"And I was upset cuz I thought the Dummi Bears man was gonna get my daddy a new house." Susie piped up and said, interrupting the chorus of adults.
"Yes everybody, that's the dinner I'm referring to. The one where I never had such a big mess to clean up from in my entire life." Lucy commented, a look of disgust on her face.
"Well I like making ceaser salads, but when it comes to something I actually cook, that would have to be making chocolate-chip pancakes for my beautiful daughter, Angelica." Drew replied.
"I don't cook. I get caderors to do that type of work for me." Charlotte replied.
"I don't cook either, heck, the only thing I can cook are cheese sticks, and even those are barely edible." Betty replied.
"That's because I do all of the cooking in our house. I love it! Though if I had to pick my favorite dish to prepare, that would be, shepard's pie." Howard replied.
"Well my favorite thing to cook is fried bologna sandwiches, because it's Chuckie's favorite." Chas replied.
Chuckie looked up from eating his Reptar bar at his daddy and smiled.
"Well I like to make shempora." Kira replied.
"I enjoy making potato pancakes at Chanukah, and baking cookies for the kids." Didi replied with a smile.
"And I enjoy a good barbecue. Burgers and pork tenderloin are my two all-time favorite dishes to cook up on the grill." Stu replied with a smile.
"I love cooking the turkey at Thanksgiving, and during the rest of the year, my favorite thing to prepare is my famous, chetter broccoli casarole." Dana replied.
"I love making spaghetti and meatballs, especially since that's my son, Jesse's favorite thing to eat." Laura replied.
Jesse looked up at his mother and licked his lips, showing off his green tongue, as a result of just finishing his Reptar bar for dessert moments before.
"I prefer to bake myself, and my favorite thing to make are Seven Layer Bars. They're a delicious treat made with melted butter, graham crackers, chocolate-chips, butterscotch-chips, coconut, chopped nuts, and condensed milk. I always make them around the holidays, and they're a big hit with my co-workers at the radio station, and all of my friends in the neighborhood." Celeste replied.
Everybody at the table nodded their heads in agreement with her statement there.
"And while I don't cook too often, my favorite thing to cook is macaroni and cheese." Peter replied.
"Mmmm! All of those dishes sound delicious! And just think, we just finished dinner and dessert, and I'm feeling both, hungry, and full, all at the same time! Speaking of food, a question for the rugrats what is your favorite food?" Vinzgirl asked, before taking another sip of her juice.
The toddlers who still had Reptar bars in their mouths chewed them up and swallowed them before responding. Once everybody was finished with their dessert, everybody leaned back in their chairs and answered Vinzgirl's question.
"Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are my absolute favorite!" Susie replied.
"Haven't you figured out by now that my favorite food is cookies Vinzgirl." Angelica replied, rolling her eyes at Vinzgirl.
"Uh, yes Angelica, I know that very well, especially after seeing the season 3 episode, No More Cookies, and seeing how greedy you got with Stu's voice changing invention in the season 4 episode, Angelica Order's Out, and going as far as to ransom your Cynthia doll in another season 4 episode to get the babies candy from Susie's birthday party, it's pretty obvious that cookies are your most favorite food, with candy coming in second." Vinzgirl commented.
"Don't forget the time during season 2 when she ordered me to climb to the top shelf of the closet to get her a box of chocolates after her daddy tooked it away from us." Chuckie commented.
"Oh yeah I forgot about that." Angelica muttered.
"Yes, I remember that too. I believe Driving Miss Angelica was the title of that episode." Vinzgirl commented.
Everybody shook their heads, except for the Carmichaels, Wehrenbergs, Barrows, Dil, Kira, and Kimi, since none of them were in that episode.
"I love fried bologna sandwiches. Those are my favoritest!" Chuckie replied.
"I like them too, but my favoritest food is vanilla ice cream." Kimi replied.
"I like mud pies. Both, the kind you make in the backyard with real mud, and the kind you get in restaurants, that's made with chocolate, making them look like they're made with mud."Lil replied.
"Well I like wormies!" Phil cried.
Lil turned to her brother, rolling her eyes in disgust.
"A real food Phillip." Lil said.
"Wormies are real food, Lillian. Besides, you said yourself you liked mud pies." Phil argued.
"Both kinds of mud pies, Phillip." Lil argued back.
"Oh okay. Then my favoritest food is spaghetti, since it looks like wormies." Phil replied.
"Well my favoritest food is chocolate pudding, but I also like Reptar cereal too." Tommy replied.
"I like Reptar cereal too! But for purposes of this question, I'm gonna say my favoritest food is yogurt. My two favoritest flavors being, lime, and blueberry." Zack replied.
"My favoritest food is pizza! And my favorite type of pizza, is pepperoni pizza." Jesse replied.
"I like pizza too, but my favoritest food gots to be ice cream, only, while Kimi's favoritest flavor is vanilla, mine's banana whammy." Dil replied.
"Yum!" Vinzgirl commented, after everybody went around and gave their answers.
"So, uh, gots anymore questions for us Vinzgirl?" Tommy asked, placing his hands down in his crotch like he needed to use the potty.
By this time, all of the toddlers were getting restless, and everybody had long since finished their dessert and their glasses of juice, needing to use the restroom.
"No worries Tommy, I can tell you need to use the bathroom, so this will be my last question. I want to know where Chuckie and Kimi were during Hurricane Alice. If I remember correctly only Tommy Dil Phil and Lil were in the episode." Vinzgirl said.
"Oh, Hurricane Alice? That scary storm with all of the wind? Oooh, I don't like thinking about that, but since you asked, I'll just tell you that me and Kimi were at home. My mommy and daddy were too ascared to leave with that storm coming, so we sadly, didn't get to go to Phil and Lil's that day to meet Alice. Good thing too." Chuckie said, slightly trembling nervously at recalling this memory.
"I'm not surprised." Vinzgirl said.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I surely could use the little boy's room." Chas said.
"And I surely could use a trip to the little girl's room." Didi replied.
"Then why don't we all go take a bathroom break while I have my servants clean up the dining room table, and we'll meet up in the living room after taking care of our business." Peter suggested.
"Good idea!" All of the toddlers cried in unison, as everybody got up from their places at the table and formed a line in the hall leading to the downstairs bathroom in Peter's castle.
Everybody saw to using the bathroom, and once they were finished, everybody headed into the living room, where the adults all took seats on the wrap around orange couch, while the toddlers took a seat on the floor. It was now time, for Olaughlinhunter, to ask his boat load of questions to the gang, so he took a seat on the floor right along with the toddlers, and asked his questions, just as Peter put on some more Halloween type music on the stereo.
"Well everybody, feeling better? I know I sure am." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Yes, I'm feeling much better." Phil replied.
"Me too." Lil added.
All of the other toddlers nodded their heads in agreement.
"So, gots any questions for us Olaughlinhunter?" Zack asked.
"Yep, I have a question for Tommy. How do you feel now knowing that the Lipschitz is not a baby as you thought he was ever since A Visit from the Lipschitz? Cause I'm sure in my fanfic Sweet Baby Dr. Lipschitz, you still thought he was a baby before finding out the truth in Bedtime Banishment." Olaughlinhunter asked.
Tommy cleared his throat before answering this question.
"Well, while I was pretty tired when I founded this out while at the restaurant that night with my daddy, Dilly, Peter, and that Mr. Mucklehoney guy, I was pretty surprised to learn this, but after having Peter explain it to me further and showing me the pictures and how that machine worked, it now makes a lot more sense. Thinking back on it now, back when the Lipschitz had to take care of me and Chuckie the firstest time he came to my house, I now realize he was just acting like a baby. He wasn't really a baby at the time, he was just, acting like a baby, just like our mommies and daddies were doing when we went into the lake at that cabin place sometime later." Tommy explained.
"The lake at the cabin place, are you referring to the season 9 episode, Fountain of Youth?" Olaughlinhunter asked.
"Uh huh." Tommy replied.
By this time, Olaughlinhunter was starting to get a cramp in his leg, so he stood up and took a seat on the orange couch, next to Charlotte and Peter. Noticing another person's presence near her, Charlotte glanced over to her right to see Olaughlinhunter sitting next to her.
"Oh, it's just you Olaughlinhunter." Charlotte commented.
"Yes, it's me Charlotte, which reminds me, I do have a question for you." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Well what is it?" Charlotte asked.
"Well, my question for you Charlotte, is this. How was it dealing without your phone for a week after Drew took it away as punishment for not listening to Angelica when she said she didn't track dirt in the house? And I hope you're still not mad at me." Olaughlinhunter asked.
"No worries Olaughlinhunter, I'm not mad at you. Though you should know, getting work done that week was extremely difficult. I had to spend more time at the office that week than any other time in my life since Angelica was born, and I was having to do all of my business with clients via email. When I finally got my phone back, the voicemail mailbox was full with several urgent messages from Jonathan, even after I specifically told him I would be without my phone for a week, the man refuses to listen to me." Charlotte complained.
"Well, I'm sorry this happened, but I hope you learned your lesson, and don't wrongly ever accuse Angelica again." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Oh I've learned my lesson Olaughlinhunter, I'll never punish Angelica again, until getting her side of the story. And I'll make sure to never doubt my daughter ever again. And not to worry, I'm no longer mad at you Olaughlinhunter, just please, promise you'll never do something like that again." Charlotte said.
"Good. And not to worry, as long as you behave yourself, I promise, to never do anything like that ever again." Olaughlinhunter said with a smile.
Charlotte simply smiled at him, before Olaughlinhunter turned away when Peter spoke up.
"So Olaughlinhunter, did you enjoy the dinner I had my servants prepare for us tonight?" Peter asked.
"Very much so Peter, thank you. And I'm guessing you got the idea to serve the toddlers Reptar bars from when I did that for dessert at my first slumber party with all of you." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Yep that's correct." Peter replied.
"So Peter, A question for you. Because you were down in Africa filming The Lion King back in 1993, what season 3 episodes of Rugrats were you not in at the time before you came back to California for a little time for Angelica's Birthday?" Olaughlinhunter asked.
"Oh, that's easy. I was not present for all episodes during season 3 leading up to Angelica's Birthday. That's why when we were still at the dinner table, and Lucy Carmichael brought up that dinner she and her husband hosted with Paul Gaspy, I had no recollection of that event, because sadly, I wasn't there for that, as well as several other things. I missed seeing Chuckie get his first haircut, the twins trying to act different, Angelica and Susie's first time at daycamp, Susie getting her first tricycle and Angelica pretending to be a doctor. I also missed the first time Lou moved out and the kids first campout in the backyard. I missed their first circus and meeting Tommy's first baby brother Milton. I wasn't there to see Angelica cover herself in vanishing cream or Tommy and Chuckie nearly end their friendship. I missed seeing the rock statue of Angelica and the whole broken leg incident. I also wasn't around to see Alisa's first adventures in babysitting, nor did I get to hear Lou tell his earliest memory of his sons quarreling with one another. I also missed out on the whole experience of trying to figure out how Reptar 2010 ended, and seeing Stu's brief time at working outside the house. I missed getting to see the kids attempts at making their own home movies, nor was I around to help Stu with his Mr. Friend invention, and I also missed the whole Boppo the Clown incident, and that day at the park where from what I gather, the toddlers were looking for nickels in the sand. And I also missed seeing Chuckie handcuffed to Angelica, their trip to the North Pole to fix Chuckie's fire engine, and their trip to the moon to get Chuckie's toy rocket back. Yep, I missed a lot while I was away shooting scenes in Africa for The Lion King, but I wouldn't miss a minute with my Disney pals." Peter explained.
"So if you missed all of that, how do you know about all of that stuff?" Olaughlinhunter asked.
"Well, post my return, everybody caught me up on what went on while I was away, both, the adults and kids alike." Peter replied.
"But I take it nobody told you about the Dummi Bears Dinner Disaster then, since you were still very confused about those events at the dinner table then?" Olaughlinhunter asked.
"Nope. I guess with how much they had to catch me up on back then, shortly after Angelica's birthday party concluded, the events of the dinner with Paul were well, short changed." Peter said.
"Oh wow I see. Now, I have a question for you, and all of the toddlers. Who's ready to leave Peter's castle, and head back to my place for our second slumber party, where we'll watch Ghost Busters and pig out on candy corn?" Olaughlinhunter asked.
"I am! I am! I am!" All of the toddlers except for Angelica, jumped up and said excitedly in unison.
"Me too." Peter replied with a smile, standing up from the couch.
"Then let's…" Olaughlinhunter started to say, standing up from the couch, before Boris Yeltsin from his spot further down on the couch next to Celrock, cut him off.
"Wait a minute! Before you guys leave, Celrock and I have some questions too." Boris Yeltsin cried.
"Well okay then, but make it snappy. It's getting late!" Olaughlinhunter cried, glancing up at a clock on the wall that read eight-thirty.
Everybody sat back down and prepared themselves for Celrock and Boris Yeltsin's questions.
"Well, since I happen to know that Boris Yeltsin has a lot on his mind, while I only have one question, I'll go first. I have a question for Phil and Lil. Where were you during the Rebel without a Teddy Bear episode?" Celrock asked.
"Well me and Lillian were… Uh… I forget now." Phil replied.
"Don't you member Phillip, we were away visiting our uncle Bill and aunt Harriet when Tommy gotted Herman taken away." Lil replied.
"His name's Henry!" Tommy snapped.
"Yeah, Henry." Phil and Lil muttered in unison.
"Okay, interesting. I knew you two had an uncle Bill and aunt Harriet during the events of Potty Training Spike, and that would explain how you knew them, and why you weren't around during the events of, Rebel without a Teddy Bear. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Now, Boris Yeltsin, it's all yours." Celrock said.
Boris Yeltsin cleared his throat before asking his first question.
"My first question is for Susie. Any favorite episode you appeared in?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Hmmm, that's a tough one, but I'd have to say my favorite episode that I appeared in was Angelica's Last Stand, where I helped the babies stand up to Angelica when she wasn't treating fairly and sharing her dimes, and at the very end, we ran our own lemonade stand together." Susie replied.
"Yes, you did an excellent job in that episode." Boris Yeltsin commented.
Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil all nodded their heads in agreement, before Boris Yeltsin went on to ask his next question.
"Question for the kids. How do you think some seasons would have been different if you had met Kimmi and Taffy earlier in the show?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Hmmm." All of the toddlers said, thinking about their answer for a few minutes.
Each one of them decided to put it into perspectives of specific episodes.
"Well had I had a sister when Tommy convinced all of us to get all nakie, I never would have lived it down, cuz most likely, Kimi would have gotted all nakie too, and she would have made me give in, eventually, taking my clothes off." Chuckie replied.
"And had Taffy been there when we watched that Reptar movie, she probably wouldn't have falled asleep, cuz she didn't do stuff like that, so maybe, we would have seed the end of the movie sooner?" Tommy asked.
"Maybe." Boris Yeltsin replied.
"And if Taffy had been there with a friend rather than Tommy's grandpa and that Morgana lady, we would have been downstairs with her the entire time, cuz she would have wanted to show us, the minis, off to her special friend, not like Tommy's grandpa who tried to keep us a secret." Chuckie said.
"And if Taffy were there, I'm not sure if we would have ever gotted a bone for Spike at the museum, cuz she's much fasterer than Tommy's grandpa." Phil commented.
"Yeah, she would have caughted up to us way before he did." Lil added.
"But if Kimi had been there, she always believed me to be innocent. Cynthia would have never been letted go on that balloon when I was accused of steeling Susie's trike, cuz Kimi would have been on my side the entire time, proving I was innocent the entire time." Angelica said.
"Very interesting answers here, and I agree with every one of them." Boris Yeltsin commented.
All of the other fans and authors nodded their heads in agreement, before Boris Yeltsin went on to ask another question.
"Question for Susie and Angelica, how do you think you would've reacted to meeting your parents as kids, since you didn't appear in All Growed Down?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"I think I would have found my mommy and daddy fun to play with." Susie replied.
"I don't know. I've never been a huge fan of the babies. Having to see our mommies and daddies as babies would have probably just made me sick." Angelica replied, sticking her tongue out at Boris Yeltsin.
"Okay, I'd better keep moving, as I have a lot of questions to ask. Let's see… Question for the kids and adults, favorite Loud House episodes if you've had a chance to see any?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
Most of the adults raised eyebrows of confusion, except for Stu, Didi, and Peter, who had all seen an episode of The Loud House or two with the toddlers.
"Well, I like that episode where Rida takes Lincoln to her dentist office with her for the day. Such lovely mother son bonding moments in that episode." Didi replied.
"Well I liked that one where the kids thought their parents were getting rid of them. Of course, I loved the part where Rida and Lynn Senior were arguing over which neck ties to get rid of. I could see Deed and I eventually getting in a same argument over which one of my less than successful inventions to get rid of. I only hope my boys wouldn't get the wrong idea, like the Loud kids did." Stu replied.
"Well I really liked the episode where Lincoln had to solve the mystery of who clogged the toilet. Always been a fan of mysteries. I was pretty surprised in the end, it was Lucy Loud who clogged up the toilet, and that she does indeed, have a sensitive side for princess books." Peter replied.
"Well I like the episode where Lincoln tries to find a business to run, eventually selling advice on how to win over girls." Susie replied.
"I liked the one where Lincoln is trying to get a message he recorded off of Lori's phone. I especially loved Lori's threat towards Lincoln in that episode, claiming she'd turn him into a human pretzel." Angelica replied.
"I liked Price of Admission, cuz I know if I had gone to see a scary movie, I'd be feeling the same way Lincoln felt all the way throughout that entire episode. Of course, I would have knowed better and listened to my mommy and daddy. Unless of course, Tommy talked me into going, which had that been our show, that's most likely what would have happened, so I'd have Tommy to blame for my nightscares at that rate." Chuckie replied.
"Well I like the one where they find an old note in the attic, and believe there's treasure hidden in The Loud House." Kimi replied.
"I like the one where Lincoln imagines he's in another world with all brothers. I can relate to how he feels, cuz at one time before we went to Paris, if Susie and Angelica weren't around, I was the only girl baby of the bunch. So I don't blame Lincoln for feeling lonely being the only boy sometimes." Lil replied.
"Well I liked the one where Lincoln helps Lana train to be in the beauty pageant." Phil replied.
"I liked the one where Lincoln tries teaching Leni how to drive. She was so funny in that episode!" Jesse replied, bursting out in fits of laughter.
"Well I liked the episode where Lincoln has Clyde over for a sleepover. I thought it was so funny when Clyde passed out every single time he came in contact with Lori." Zack replied.
"Well I liked the episode where Clyde and Lincoln must babysit Lily. Gosh, she reminds me so much of me when I was a baby-baby. It sort of reminded me of this vague event I recall from my baby-baby days, when daddy went out of town, and Tommy made me a special toy out of a blankie and a ball and a few other items around the house, after my favoritest raddle gotted accidentally stepped on and broked." Dil replied.
"And my favoritest episode so far is Cereal Offender. It reminds me of the time when I went to the supermarket with grandpa, and did whatever it tooked to get to see Reptar, and my own box of Reptar cereal, after seeing the mercial on TV, just like Lincoln did whatever it tooked to get a box of the Zomby cereal he wanted at the store after seeing the mercial on TV." Tommy replied.
"I agree, Cereal Offender was definitely indeed, The Loud House's spoof on your series episode, Incident in Isle Seven, and I, too, was very much reminded of that Rugrats episode when watching The Loud House episode that had a similar plot." Celrock commented.
"So now, time for my next question. Question for the adults, any favorite football teams?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Obviously you don't remember anything about our time when we watched the Ultra Bowl after I made the Bonkomatic Baby Bumper. Drew and I like the Dallas Cowboys." Stu replied.
"And Chas and I like the Houston Oilers." Howard replied.
"Uh, yeah, though I would have been happy watching the Ches tournament." Chas replied.
The other men, in particular, Drew, Stu, and Howard all gave him dirty looks.
"I like the team from Washington State." Betty replied.
"I don't care much for football, it's too violent." Didi commented.
"Oh, you sat and watched with us that day our husbands cooked up the world's biggest omlet, and somehow, the babies hatched a baby bird in the house." Charlotte commented.
"Well you were watching it too, so I wouldn't talk if I were you Charlotte." Betty argued.
"Please!" Didi shouted, trying to mediate.
"Ladies! Geash! Let's calm down already. I think we'll move on. I know to be careful if I should ever touch upon sports with this group of characters again." Boris Yeltsin said, causing everybody in the room to go silent.
"I agree, not a fan of football myself." Randy commented.
"Me neither." Lucy replied.
"I agree." Celeste commented.
"I like football, but my favorite team is Green Bay." Dana replied.
"Well I like the Chicago Cubs." Laura replied.
Dana turned to his wife with a chuckle.
"Uh, honey, that's a baseball team." Dana replied quietly to her.
"Oh." Laura replied, blushing in embarrassment.
"Moving on… Questions for the kids, any favorite bloopers from the latest chapter of Rugrat Bloopers?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Well I liked the blooper from Jokes on You when the babies dressed up Angelica as a baby while still inside the tunnel toy." Susie replied.
"I don't know. I think I much prefer the blooper from Moving Away where I promised to be nice to the babies from now on." Angelica replied.
"Well I liked the blooper from My Friend Barney, where Barney wasn't invisible." Chuckie replied.
"I thought it was funny when Lil was the onliest one to shrink down in Chuckie's dream in that Incredible Shrinking Babies episode blooper." Kimi replied.
"You mean, when they thought I was a doll?" Lil asked.
"Uh huh." Kimi replied.
"Well I liked the blooper from Cradle Attraction where Megan all had us play house, and I got to be the aunt." Lil replied.
"Well I don't know about that, but I thought it was pretty funny when Chuckie and Angelica tried to act just like me and Lillian when we argue in the blooper from Twins' Pique." Phil replied.
"I thought it was pretty funny when Angelica put herself to sleep by eating baby food in the blooper from No Naps." Zack replied.
"I don't know. I thought it was pretty funny when she stuck a baby bottle in Chuckie's mouth at the start of the blooper in Looking for Jack, causing him to fall asleep in the process post finishing the bottle." Jesse replied.
"I liked when my grandpa tried to give my big brother coffee in the Touchdown Tommy blooper. Just curious, what was you spose to get originally Tommy?" Dil asked.
"Chocolate milk." Tommy replied.
"So would you say that's your favorite blooper too Tommy?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"No! I liked the one from Give and Take, when Boppo didn't work, so we all had to cry to get my daddy's attention." Tommy replied.
"I see. Moving on… Question for the kids and adults, if you saw the latest podcast fromNickelodeon, what'd you think of it?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"We all thought it was great! Right everyone?" Peter asked the entire gang.
"Yeah!" Everybody replied in unison.
"We can't wait for the next season of the podcast series to premier, right guys?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah!" All of the toddlers replied in unison.
"I hope Hector will interview all of our voice actresses who played us on the show." Phil commented.
"Well, those of us who's voice actresses are still with us." Chuckie commented.
"That would be nice." Boris Yeltsin commented.
"And those Loud House ideas they came up with in the last episode, I wanna see them on TV and I wanna see them now." Angelica protested.
"These things take time princess, you've gotta be patient." Drew said.
"Yes daddy." Angelica replied with her fake, innocent smile, before Boris Yeltsin spoke up with his next question.
"Question for the adults. Besides Stu, has any of you had sleep walking issues?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
All of the adults shook their heads no.
"Uh, nope Boris Yeltsin, looks like I'm the only one." Stu replied.
"Another question for Stu, ever made a lie detector, cuz I've seen a cartoon where a guy rigged one from a toaster." Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Uh, nope, haven't made a lie detector yet." Stu replied.
By this time, Olaughlinhunter was tapping his foot impatiently.
"Can't we go now? Me and the babies have plans." Olaughlinhunter said impatiently.
"Geash Olaughlinhunter, I'm not finished! Can't I ask my remaining nine questions?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"You've asked nine questions already! Can't they wait?" Olaughlinhunter asked, irritated.
"No." Boris Yeltsin replied.
Olaughlinhunter rolled his eyes at Boris Yeltsin, before turning his gaze away from him and staring down at the floor.
"Don't worry about it Boris Yeltsin, he'll get over it." Tommy said, coming over to Boris Yeltsin and giving him a hug.
"Thanks Tommy, I needed that. Now, I'd better get a move on with the rest of my questions before Olaughlinhunter really gets mad. Let's see… Question for Peter, which of the kids and adults would you say you get along with the most?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
Peter put a finger up to his lips and thought about his answer for a few minutes before responding.
"Goodness, that's a tough one. I don't wish to hurt anybody's feelings, so I'd have to say to be fair, I get along with everybody here equally, though I will admit, Angelica can sometimes be a handful when I'm having to look after her, but I do believe over time, we worked out a compromise in most circumstances, because she knows I don't play around when I mean business." Peter replied.
Angelica glared in Peter's direction, sending him an evil smile before turning away before anybody else noticed her.
"Sounds fair enough. Okay, moving on… Question for Phil, Lil, and Chuckie, where were you during the episode Angelica orders out?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Well Boris Yeltsin, in case you forgotted, we did show up at the end of that episode for what we all thought was Angelica's surprise party, but boy did I end up taking a very short nap that afternoon, when my daddy came and waked me up, telling me we had to go to the store to buy Angelica a present. I was a bit confused, but I just, stayed quiet and let my daddy take care of everything." Chuckie replied.
"Me and Lillian were taking our nappy at home too." Phil replied.
"Till our mommy waked us up and tooked us next door to Tommy's for Angelica's party." Lil replied.
"And were you two just as confused about the whole thing as Chuckie was?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Well, sort of, yeah." Phil replied.
Lil nodded her head in agreement.
"I see. Very interesting. Now, I have another question for Phil, Lil and Chuckie, how would the episode, The Big House, be different if you were in it with Tommy?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Hmmm." Phil, Lil, and Chuckie all said in unison, as they thought about their answer to Boris Yeltsin's question for a few minutes.
"Well, wasn't that the time when Tommy broked out of dayscare before anything bad happened? Or at least, isn't that what he was trying to tell me about the day before me and Kimi went off to a dayscare together for the firstest time?" Chuckie asked.
Tommy nodded his head yes.
"Well, I probably wouldn't have thought trying to leave dayscare was such a good idea, but naturally, Tommy would have tricked me into doing it anyway." Chuckie replied.
"And we would have convinced Chuckie to go along with it too." Lil replied.
"Specially if they serve yucky cookies there, I don't think after eating one of those, I'd ever wanna go back." Phil added.
"I see. And would the breakout process have worked out differently?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Well, I probably would have gotted Phil, Lil, and Chuckie to climb on the block tower with me to reach the lock on the door with the key made out of clay-dough rather than Big Justin." Tommy replied.
"And I wouldn't have wanted to climb up there now that he mentions that." Chuckie added.
"Very typical, I agree with everything said here." Celrock commented.
All of the other fans and authors in the room nodded their heads in agreement with Celrock, except for Olaughlinhunter, who was more or less, ignoring everybody at this point, disappointed that to him, it seemed precious hours for his second sleepover were slipping away, thanks to Boris Yeltsin asking so many dumb questions in his opinion.
"Okay let's see… Question for the adults, have any of you tried to break any crazy world records?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Nope, though if I were to try one, I'd probably try to break the world record for most cups of coffee drunk at one time." Betty replied.
"That's my wife, a coffee holic." Howard commented.
"I think trying to break a world record sounds too dangerous." Chas commented.
"I agree." Kira replied.
"Nope, none of us have tried to attempt something that crazy." Stu replied.
"Besides, you probably wouldn't last a day trying to break a world record." Drew said to Stu sarcastically.
"Would too." Stu argued.
"Would not." Drew argued back.
"Would too." Stu argued.
"Please you two, enough!" Didi cried, breaking up the argument.
Stu and Drew gulped, before turning away from one another.
"All right, moving on… Question for the kids and adults, anything funny you can remember from some birthdays? I heard this story about some friends who pranked their friend on his birthday by putting an airbag in his birthday cake." Boris Yeltsin asked.
Everybody shook their heads no, except for Dana Barrow, who spoke up.
"When I was younger, about a year before meeting my wife Laura and getting married, I attended my uncle Raymond's birthday party, where woopy cushions were placed on all of the chairs around the table. We sat down, setting them off, and everybody burst out laughing so hard, all of us nearly wet our pants. I believe I even wet mine, having to go home and change before returning to get whatever remained of the ice cream and birthday cake, after my uncle blew out the candles." Dana explained.
By this time, everybody in the room was cracking up, laughing at the thought of the sound of several woopy cushions going off at once. Once the laughter died down, Boris Yeltsin continued with his long speel of questions.
"Wow, that does sound quite funny. I could see Luan Loud doing something like that at birthday parties at The Loud House." Boris Yeltsin said in between fits of laughter.
"I agree Boris Yeltsin, I could see that being the case too." Sovietlollipop commented, before Boris Yeltsin cleared his throat and went on to ask his next question.
"Question for Angelica, where were you during the episode In The Dream time?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Don't you know anything? I was at my first day of school, when I was in Miss Applebee's class and those kids wouldn't let me play with their stuff." Angelica replied.
"Oh, I think I get it. So while the events of Cuffed and Game Show Didi all took place at the same time, the events of, In the Dreamtime, the part where Chuckie was really awake, was the same morning you were attending your first day of preschool in Miss Applebee's class in the episode, Educating Angelica, as it was in the afternoon after school that Tommy came over to your house, and the following day when he went to school with you for show and tell." Boris Yeltsin explained, hoping he got his theory correct.
"Exactly." Angelica replied.
"Yep, as I saw Chuckie that morning before mommy tooked me to Angelica's house after my nappy that afternoon, and the nextest day, I went with Angelica to school, where we played in the baby room and had lots of fun." Tommy said.
"I see. Very interesting." Boris Yeltsin said, before Olaughlinhunter cleared his throat angrily.
"Are you finished yet?" Olaughlinhunter asked angrily.
"Almost, I only have three more questions. Please, be patient just a little bit longer?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Well okay, but it's already ten o'clock at night. I wouldn't be surprised if by the time you're done, the kids' parents wouldn't want them sleeping over at my house now." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Awe go on and ask your questions Boris Yeltsin, the pups still seem to be wide awake as it is." Betty said.
"Thank you Mrs. Deville. Now, let's see… Question for the adults, When you have sinus issues, have any of you ever had to use a nasal spray? I'm using one for the first time." Boris Yeltsin asked.
All of the adults shook their heads no, except for Chas, who spoke up.
"Oh I use one all of the time. I suffer not only from Athma, but from poor sinus drainage as well. Nazle sprays are sometimes, the only way I make it through the day in one piece, especially during the spring months, when my allergies are at their worst." Chas replied.
"Thank you Chas, very interesting insight into your health issues. Now, let's see… Question for the kids, what'd you think of the dream sequence in chapter 14 of Bedtime Banishment?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"It was scary." Chuckie replied.
"It was, interesting, but a bit weird." Zack replied.
Phil, Lil, and Jesse all nodded their heads in agreement.
"I thought it was neat!" Kimi cried.
"It was okay, but I'm just glad it was only a dream, and that it wasn't real." Tommy replied.
"Me too." Dil replied.
Susie and Angelica both nodded their heads in agreement.
"Okay, I'm finally up to my last and final question, and then you all may leave and head to Olaughlinhunter's house for his slumber party. Question for Susie, if you were in the episode In the Dream Time, how would you have helped Chuckie with his weird dreams?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"I'm really not sure. I probably wouldn't have done much better than the rest of them, trying to convince Chuckie that he really was awake, nothing weird was going on." Susie replied.
"I see." Boris Yeltsin replied.
"Okay, can we go now?" Olaughlinhunter asked impatiently, glancing up at the clock on the wall again, which now read ten-thirty.
"Oh I don't know Olaughlinhunter, it's growing awfully late." Didi said worriedly.
Peter got up from his spot on the couch, walked over to Didi and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I wouldn't worry about it too much Didi, it is Saturday night after all." Peter replied with a smile.
"Well, I suppose you're right." Didi replied with a smile.
All of the parents agreed to let Peter take the toddlers along with Olaughlinhunter back to his house, despite with it growing so late. So everybody gathered up their things, piled out of Peter's castle, and headed out to everybody's cars, where the parents got out their kids overnight bags and handed them over to Peter, who carried them over to Olaughlinhunter's car, a red mustang convertible. Angelica decided not to go to this slumber party, because she really didn't have fun at the last one, so she went off with her parents to their car, while Olaughlinhunter and Peter helped Susie, Chuckie, Kimi, Lil, Phil, Jesse, Zack, Tommy, and Dil all pile into the back seat of Olaughlinhunter's car, while Olaughlinhunter climbed into the driver's seat and Peter road shotgun next to him in the passenger seat.
"Goodnight!" Everybody called from Olaughlinhunter's car, as they left Peter's castle.
All of the parents waved goodbye to their kids, and Celeste to her nephew, before they piled into their cars and headed for home themselves. It would take half an hour, but Olaughlinhunter saw to driving towards his house. At a traffic light they had to stop for on the way back, Zack had pulled out his fold up telescope and was looking around, when he spotted a light on in the upstairs of one of the houses. Using his telescope, he peered in the window to see that he was looking into DemonAloisTrancy's bedroom. He noticed that on her television, was AAAHHH! Real Monsters on The Splat, and poor DemonAloisTrancy was lying down on her bed, her arm in a cast, looking sad as she watched the television.
"Awe, poor DemonAloisTrancy, she sure looks sad." Zack commented.
"Are you sure that's DemonAloisTrancy in there?" Chuckie asked.
"Yeah, take a look." Zack said, passing his telescope around so each toddler could get a good look inside her window, before the light turned from red to green, signaling it being time for Olaughlinhunter to drive forward, towards his home.
"Awe, I wish we could go cheer her up." Lil said.
"Yeah, me too." Phil commented.
"Maybe we can go visit her tomorrow, after church hours." Peter suggested.
"Well I do have homework to get done, and I have to get ready for my field trip on Tuesday to the museum of natural history." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Hey, is that the same museum my grandpa tooked us to where we got a bone for Spike?" Tommy asked.
"Yep, it sure is." Olaughlinhunter replied.
"Then you should get a bone for your dog Thor." Lil suggested.
"I don't know. Those peoples were pretty mad at us when we gotted caught with that bone for Spike, and Tommy's grandpa founded us." Chuckie commented.
"Huh?" Peter asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm just as confused as you are Peter so don't worry." Zack said.
"Oh that's right, Lou took Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil to the museum before you met them Peter, and certainly before Dil was born, or Jesse, Zack, and Kimi came into our lives, so, who wants to tell this story?" Olaughlinhunter asked.
"I'll tell it. I was sad cuz Spike couldn't come with us to the museum, so we gotted the idea to go get him a present. When we got to the museum, we saw this huge Reptar skeleton with a bunch of bones, so when my grandpa needed a rest, we ventured through the museum to find it. We saw jumble aminals, and played with Halloween masks on the way there, but eventually, we founded the bones, right before my grandpa and some very unhappy lady founded us. We got a bone, but the lady tooked it away from us. Grandpa gotted us together, and it sounds like he was trying to tell that lady something about the bone, but she wouldn't listen, trying to get us to leave. Well the statue fell down, and bones went flying everywhere. I managed to catch one before we left, and I gave the bone to Spike. He was so happy." Tommy explained.
"Hey! Didn't you say there were a whole bunch of bones when that statue fell down? Maybe that pile of bones is still there. You should go there when you go to the museum with your school and get a bone for Thor." Lil suggested.
"I don't know, that did happen a long time ago. I'm sure by now, those bones have either been glued back together to make up the terranasaurus rex, or been long since recycled, whichever the case is." Olaughlinhunter said, just as they turned into his driveway.
Olaughlinhunter switched off the car, took the keys out of the ignition, and placed them into his pants pocket. No sooner had he gotten out of the car to help Peter get the kids out, when Thor ran up to him and started licking him all over.
"Ooh! Thor, my bestest doggy friend! You're the best kisser ever! Did you miss me? Huh? Did you miss me?" Olaughlinhunter asked in his baby voice to Thor, as he kept licking him all over.
Olaughlinhunter started giggling, just as Thor kept licking him all over, not letting him move, as Peter finally got out of the car and started unloading the Rugrats and their overnight bags, not wishing to break up the reunion between a Fan Fiction author and his pet.
"Wow you guys, Olaughlinhunter and Thor are just like me and Spike. He's Olaughlinhunger's bestest doggy friend, Justas Spike is my bestest doggy friend." Tommy commented.
"Yep that's right Tommy." Olaughlinhunter replied, giving Thor a pat on the head, who finally stopped licking him, once he saw the toddlers.
Thor ran over to Tommy, wagging his tail. Smelling Spike and Spiffi on him, he started licking Tommy all over, making him laugh, then running over to Chuckie, who smelled like Pepper and Fifi, he started licking him too. It was so late, that nobody cared at this point that he was getting doggy drool all over their Halloween costumes.
After a few more minutes of playing with the puppy dog in the yard, everybody headed into Olaughlinhunter's house, where he took Thor into the kitchen, gave him a treat, and put him into his kennel for the night. Then, Olaughlinhunter went into the pantry, where he pulled out a bag of candy corn, and got a large bowl out of the cabinet, and headed for the spiral staircase, where the gang was climbing upstairs to go get ready for bed.
Everybody went upstairs, where they changed out of their Halloween costumes, and put on their pajamas. They then took turns brushing their teeth, while Tommy asked Olaughlinhunter several questions.
"So, I was just wondering, has Thor ever run away from home before, like that time Spike ran away from me?" Tommy asked.
"Nope, he's been with me and my family for the last four years, but I know if he did ever run away, I'd miss him just as much as you missed Spike in the season 3 episode." Olaughlinhunter replied.
"Would you try getting another pet to replace him like what Tommy's parents did?" Chuckie asked.
"I don't think so Chuckie. I mean, you saw how poorly those pets worked out, and how Spike eventually, came back. If Thor ran away from me, I'd venture out to look for him." Olaughlinhunter replied.
"Or you could always wish on a star for him to come back, like we did the second time Spike ran away after we came back from Paris." Tommy suggested.
"True, I could, and hopefully Angelica wouldn't make the stars fall down that time, so nobody could make their wishes." Olaughlinhunter said, as he went into the bathroom to brush his teeth, as he was next in line to do it, with Tommy, Lil, and Kimi being last.
Everybody laughed, before the rest of the gang headed into the bathroom to brush their teeth, then head into Olaughlinhunter's bedroom, where Peter had laid out everybody's sleeping bags and pillows on the floor.
"Is Thor a daddy?" Lil asked.
"Yeah, has he had puppies with a lady dog like what Spike and Fifi had?" Kimi asked.
"Nope, but it would be pretty special if that ever did happen someday. And I know that if he did leave me for a while to go have puppies, I'd know deep down, he didn't forget me." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Yeah, don't listen to Angelica, she only says stuff just to make us sad and scared." Phil said.
"Oh, and please, Olaughlinhunter, do us a favor? If Thor should ever run away and have puppies, don't creep me out pretending to be happy about it?" Chuckie begged.
"Don't you worry Chuckie, I won't try to cover up my sadness over missing Thor, provided that should ever happen. Tommy's creepy smile freaked me out too when I saw it during Bow Wow Wedding Vows." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Sorry I scarded you guys. I just, wanted to show Spike that I was happy for him is all." Tommy said.
"But when you admitted you were sad, Spike found you and showed you his new puppies. I remember that Easter quite well." Peter said.
"Me too." Kimi added.
"Hey, isn't Chuckie and Kimi's dog Pepper a girl?" Zack asked.
"Yes she is. Pepper is a girl." Chuckie replied.
"Well, maybe Thor and Pepper could get together when Pepper's all growed up, and get married and have puppies together. That would make Pepper a mommy, Thor a daddy, Spiffi an uncle, Spike and Fifi grandparents, and we'd have grandchildren puppies to play with." Zack suggested.
"That's a great idea Zack, and I'd bet it shouldn't be too much longer until Pepper is old enough to get married and have puppies, as dogs grow up a lot faster than humans do." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Yep, and any puppies they had together would be a mix of three breeds of dog. Boston terrior, rare cybeerian tiger, and poodle mix. You don't see that too often." Peter commented, settling down in his sleeping bag, as Olaughlinhunter shifted through his drawer of DVD's until he found the Ghost Busters movie, and laid down the bowl of candy corn in the middle of the floor.
"That's a great idea." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Only one problem. How are we gonna get Thor and Pepper to fall in love so they can get married?" Kimi asked.
"I know, we can get them together at Valentine's Day like we did with Spike and Fluffy that time." Lil suggested.
"That's a great idea Lil." Tommy said.
"Uh, we'll have to make sure it's okay if Chuckie and Kimi can bring Pepper over to Olaughlinhunter's house for that day's playthrough of Search for Reptar come February." Peter said.
"You know, it might be easier for me to pack up the Wii and Thor into my car, and come spend Valentine's Day over at the Finsters. I'll just have to check with Chas and Kira, to make sure it's okay for me to set up the Wii on their television that weekend." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Now that might be interesting. A level of Search for Reptar, not played at your place, but at one of our houses or my castle instead. Great idea!" Peter said.
Everybody else nodded in agreement.
"So, are we ready to start the movie now? I'm about ready to load it into the player." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Just one more question. Do you ever wish Thor was a wonder dog?" Phil asked.
"Yeah, do you wish he could talk?" Lil asked.
"Nah, I like him just the way he is. Besides, Angelica tricking you guys into thinking Spike could talk was enough. I'd rather she not try doing that to Thor the next time she's over here, thank you." Olaughlinhunter said, popping the DVD into the player.
"So, are we going to have popcorn or what?" Peter asked.
"Nope, we're having candy corn since it's Halloween. Dig in everybody." Olaughlinhunter said.
"But we already brushed our teeth." Chuckie said.
"Awe come on Chuckie, it's Halloween, I think our teeth will be okay for one night." Tommy said.
"Oh all right, if you say so." Chuckie said, picking up a handful of candy corn and stuffing it into his mouth.
Everybody sat back when the movie started after Olaughlinhunter skipped over the previews at the beginning, sending the DVD to the DVD menu, then pressing the Play Movie icon on the screen. Once the movie started, everybody got engrossed watching it, while snacking on the candy corn. By the end of the movie, all of the candy corn had been consumed by the nine toddlers, a king of the Confederacy, and Olaughlinhunter himself. They were all pretty fascinated by the movie, recalling their imaginary adventure in the Mysterious Mr. Friend level of Search for Reptar, when they played their own rendition of ghost busters, as they watched the movie, and saw the real movie take place. After the movie ended though, the discussion went right back to Thor, as Olaughlinhunter picked up the empty bowl once containing candy corn on the floor and placed it up on his dresser. He then put in his retainer, and crawled into bed, turning out the lights.
"Hey Olaughlinhunter, I've gots just one last question about your bestest doggy friend." Tommy said.
"Yeah, what is it Tommy?" Olaughlinhunter asked.
"If you were to ever get losted on a island or in the forrest like we did, do you think Thor would come after you and chase away any wolves or lepards like what Spike did for us?" Tommy asked.
"Of course! My bestest doggy friend Thor, wouldn't stop at nothing to keep me safe." Olaughlinhunter replied, letting out a huge yawn.
"Well, goodnight everyone." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Night night Olaughlinhunter." Tommy said, closing his eyes, as by this time, he was the only one still awake, as everybody else had passed out at sometime during the movie.
It was well after one-o'clock in the morning by the time everybody went to sleep. In fact, nobody awoke until the sun was high in the sky the following day, and a loud knock was coming from the door downstairs. Overhearing this loud thud, Olaughlinhunter woke up and ran down the spiral staircase to see who it was. Staring through the peep whole, he saw Didi had arrived, carrying a large casarole dish. He opened the door to let her in.
"Morning Didi! What a pleasant surprise." Olaughlinhunter said sleepily, rubbing his eyes.
"Good afternoon Olaughlinhunter, are the kids awake yet? I brought lunch over before we see to taking Peter's get well card to the hospital to deliver to Nairobi-harper, and we all go pay DemonAloisTrancy a visit." Didi said.
"I think everybody might be waking up right now. Let me go check." Olaughlinhunter said, as he heard the sound of the kids moving around upstairs.
Turns out everybody was moving around, getting dressed and packed up for the day. Soon, everybody came downstairs, and for lunch, they had Didi's macaroni and cheese casarole for lunch. Realizing Olaughlinhunter had forgotten to get up earlier and feed Thor his breakfast, he saw that Thor was out in the backyard, thankful that one of his parents let him out before they went to work, as they had odd weekend hours at their jobs, leaving Olaughlinhunter to his own devices, since he was home alone with Peter and the toddlers and now Didi on this particular Sunday. He opened the door and Thor ran in, jumping up on Olaughlinhunter and kissing him.
"Awe, who's happy to see me. Are you hungry? Huh? My bestest doggy friend?" Olaughlinhunter asked in that baby voice, as his dog continued to lick him, making him laugh.
Tommy watched this all go on with amusement from his spot at the table, now longing to go home and spend some time with Spike over going to pay DemonAloisTrancy and Nairobi-harper a visit, even though he wanted to see how DemonAloisTrancy was making out with her broken arm, and even though he wanted to give Nairobi-harper her get well card post having to get her appendix out the previous day.
"Thor and Olaughlinhunter look so cute together you guys." Tommy commented.
"Yeah." Everybody else replied in unison, agreeing with him.
Shortly after they had their little reunion, Olaughlinhunter went over to the cabinet, got out the bag of dogfood, and fed Thor his very late breakfast, or more like lunch, and Thor didn't waste any time. He ran over to the bowl and wolfed his food down.
"Wow Olaughlinhunter, Thor was definitely hungry." Tommy commented.
"He sure was. That's what you get for oversleeping and missing breakfast. Glad your mommy came and rescued us." Olaughlinhunter said, taking a seat at the table.
Meanwhile, Didi rummaged around in the kitchen and got lunch ready on several plates she found in one of the cabinets. Then, reaching into her purse, she pulled out several sippy cups of juice and gave them to each of the kids, unsure if Olaughlinhunter had anything for them to drink.
"Oh Didi you didn't have to do that." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Oh, it's all right." Didi said, sitting down at the table finally with her plate of macaroni and cheese casarole and digging in.
"Oh, and before we begin, no, I've never tried eating Thor's dogfood and seeing if I'd turn into a dog, because I know, it really, doesn't work." Olaughlinhunter commented, taking his first bite of the macaroni and cheese casarole.
By this time, everybody more or less, ate their lunch in silence, still somewhat tired out from the big day and late night they had before. After lunch, Didi helped get everybody cleaned up, and next thing they knew, they were in the car, headed for the hospital to pay Nairobi-harper a visit, but not before Olaughlinhunter put Thor out in the front yard, making sure he was wearing his invisible fence collar so he wouldn't escape.
"Why does your doggy wear two collars?" Kimi asked.
"Thor has one caller where his leash goes, and where his tags are for Rabies and being a licensed dog of Yucaipa, California, but his other collar is a special collar. It's an invisible fence collar. About six months after we got him a few years back, my family installed an invisible fence in our front yard at least, since our backyard has a wooden fence to keep him from escaping. Basically, the invisible fence are these wires that go beneath the ground and the edge of the driveway around the edge of the front yard leading up to the wooden fence, and how it works, is if Thor tries to cross that wire line while wearing his collar, he'll feel a little shock, reminding him that he can't leave the yard." Olaughlinhunter explained.
"Wow, does it hurt?" Chuckie asked.
"Well, he'll often let out a little yelp when he crosses the line by accident, but it's more of a surprise, rather than any type of shock that's really going to hurt him." Olaughlinhunter said.
"Did you have to train Thor to respect the fence boundery? And has he ever gotten out of the yard?" Peter asked.
"To answer your first question, when we first got the fence, little white flags were placed around the edge of the yard, and we'd tell Thor no whenever he approached the flags, and when he came back to us, we'd give him a treat. He soon learned his boundary, when he approached the white flag, getting a shock, and to answer your second question Peter, he only left the yard once last winter around Christmas time. Luckily, he went into our neighbor's yard, and they saw him and called us immediately, and my mom was home, so she got him to come back. Turns out the battery in his fence collar died, so we ordered a new one from the invisible fence place, and put a new battery in, and he hasn't escaped ever since." Olaughlinhunter explained.
"But you toldid us yesterday night Olaughlinhunter that Thor has never run away before." Tommy said.
"No, not like your dog did in the season 3 episode, no. Yes, he did leave our yard once when his invisible fence collar's battery died, causing him to not be able to feel the shock, but the most he was probably gone was maybe five, or ten minutes. It was nothing in comparison to the week or two Spike was missing in that episode." Olaughlinhunter said, as they approached the entrance to the hospital parking lot.
And this, ends this bonus segment.
Author's Note: I'm not gonna cover everything, except that for starters, I actually started on this chapter last night, but grew extremely tired, so didn't finish it up until today. Also, as far as I know, in real life, Nairobi-harper hasn't had her appendix removed, she's just been super busy with school, and as far as I know anyway, as I haven't heard a thing from DemonAloisTrancy in nearly a week now, her arm is not broken, though her computer broke earlier this fall, hince, her reason for not being able to be around much on Fan Fiction, or post any new chapters in Tommy Pickles: the Terrible Twos as of late. Though in this day and age, having your computer broken can feel just as bad and be almost as serious of an issue at points, as breaking your arm, or seem like it to a degree anyway. And the invisible fence came in for Olaughlinhunter's dog Thor, was taken from my own life. From the summer of 1999, up until he died in mid May of 2012, my family had a yellow lab named Jake. He had an invisible fence from about the time he was six-months-old, up until he died. And it worked just like how it was described here, and we also used the white training flags when he first got the unit. He also escaped the yard multiple times when the battery in his collar died, and one time, he escaped when some of the wiring for the fence broke. The only differences with the one my family had for Jake was that it went around the edge of both, the front and back yard, since my family didn't have any type of wooden or chain fence to keep Jake inside the backyard. In this case, Olaughlinhunter's family has one in the front yard only for Thor, this way, he can be outside in either the front, or back yard unattended, with the wooden fence keeping him safe in back, and the invisible fence keeping him safe when in the front. And boy do I remember the day the fence was installed, as when making sure not to hurt any important lines leading up to the house, sadly, cable was not marked. This in turn, caused our cable to be out for several hours on that particular Saturday afternoon while the fence was installed, and this Rugrats fan was not happy, because on the same day of the installation, was a six hour marathon that afternoon on Nickelodeon that I sadly, missed, with our cable being out. Luckily, our cable was turned back on when that night's new episode premiered in Snick, since this took place on a Saturday in November of 1999. Anyway, I think that's enough for now, as I'm plumb exhausted from writing for now. Hope everybody enjoyed the chapter, and, I hope to be back with more great content, sometime very soon.
