Summary: Tommy tells his two year old girlfriend Rosie Hall about his adventure aboard the Sea-Wise Odyssey cruise and how Angelica changed for the better afterwards.

It was a splendid summer day in Yucaipa, California at the Pickles residence as Peter was babysitting Tommy and Dil while Stu and Didi took care of some errands.

"So guys, how have you and your friends been getting along with Angelica" asked Peter.

"Oh, we have been getting along great with her Peter" replied Tommy.

"Yeah, ever since that cruise we were on a whole bunch of yesterdays, she's been real good to all of us" added Dil.

"That's good to hear" replied Peter.

At that moment, Peter's iphone rang and saw it was a facetime call from Rosie as he answered it.

"Hi Rosie, how are you doing today" asked Peter.

"I'm doing fine your Highness, is Tommy around" asked Rosie.

"Yes he is Rosie, I'll put him on" replied Peter.

"Thanks Peter" said Tommy.

"C'mon Dil, let's you and I go into another room and I'll help you do arts and crafts of Goober the Gopher" said Peter.

"Sounds cool" replied Dil as he followed Peter and let Tommy have his privacy talking to Rosie.

"Hi Rosie" greeted Tommy.

"Hi Tommy" replied Rosie.

"How are things going in Boston" asked Tommy.

"Things are okay as I'm having a much needed break from Reggie and his antics as it gotted him in big trouble" replied Rosie.

"I hear ya" replied Tommy.

"How are things going in Yucaipa" asked Rosie.

"Things on my end have been great recently" replied Tommy.

"Has Angelica been making trouble for you guys as usual and gotted in trouble" asked Rosie.

"You might not believe me when I tell you, buts Angelica has recently had a change of heart and has stopped being so mean and evil and she's been real good and nice to Me and all my friends and family" replied Tommy.

"What" went Rosie.

"Yep" replied Tommy.

"B-But I thought nothing could get Angelica to be as good as gold likes you and me" said Rosie.

"That's what I thought too, until a recent cruise trip changed Angelica's attitude foreber" replied Tommy.

"Tommy, I gotta know how and when did this happen as it sounds unbelievable" said Rosie.

"I'll be glad to tell the story of how it all happened" replied Tommy as he took a deep breath and began his story.

Tommy POV

"When Me and my friends heared that we were going on a cruise, we also heared that Angelica has a cousin from her mommy's side of

the family named Anthony that Me and my friends never heared about before. When Dilly asked Angelica what he looked like, she said

that he was a big kid that hated babies. Of course, we kind of dismissed that as we thought Angelica was just messing with us as usual.

Soon, all of us made our way to the giant cruise ship where we were to have our vacation. Finally, Me and my friends metted Angelica's

cousin Anthony. He was big, had blond hair and a scar on his face. A little while later while Anthony went somewhere else with his daddy,

My friends and I were at a daycare center standing in line for cookies. It was a long line and Angelica being naughty as usual, cutted ahead in line and my

friends as well as a lot of other kids weren't happy about it. When Angelica got to the front of the line, she met a girl that looks almost

alike like Angelica, except her hair color was the same as Phil and Lil's hair. Her name is Zoey and she bravely stood up to Angelica after

she called her pigtails, of course Angelica's nasty insults were throwed right back at her when Zoey made her look silly in front of all the

kids as they and my friends all laughed at her. Angelica's face was as red as a lobster and she chased after Zoey around the daycare center.

After a short while, Zoey returned as we all cheered for her standing up to Angelica. When Angelica returned, there was a pretty tense

standoff between her and Zoey as Angelica challenged her to a cookie eating contest. Zoey accepted the challenge as Me and my friends,

along with the other kids watched in amazement that Zoey has a big sweet tooth as Angelica as she finished every plate of cookies before

Angelica did. Eventually, Zoey beated Angelica at the cookie eating contest as she burped so loudly, it shook the daycare center. When

Angelica was taken away for a nap by my Uncle Drew, my friends and I giggled and whispered teasy things about her. Later in the

evening My friends and I were having dinner when Dilly tugged on my shirt and pointed out that Angelica and Zoey were in a cart

fighting over a bowl of chocolate banana soup and I figured that Angelica was the one that was causing more trouble while Zoey was

trying to stop her. So Chuckie, Kimi and Susie tolded on her daddy what Angelica was doing. As that was happening, the cart crashed and

the ice cream spilled all around. Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Drew punished her and took her away as peoples were staring at them with

funny looks. By the next day, My friends and I, along with Angelica's cousin Anthony were on a tour bus seeing sights and having a much

needed break from Angelica's antics as Anthony noticed an upset look on my face. He asked me what was the matter and I tolded him it was

all about Angelica and how fed up I was of her bullying Me, Dilly and my bestest friends. The others were listening in and we each gave

Anthony an example of the worstest things she ever did to us. Then Anthony tolded us he'd be moving to our town and promised us that

Angelica wouldn't be able to bully us under his watch. And he said that he could teach Angelica a lesson that she would never forget. Of

course, we didn't know what he intended to do, but we thought if he could teach her a lesson for her evilness, My friends and I went along

with it as we decided that we would end Angelica's evilness once and for all by getting rebenge (revenge) on her. My friends and I were

very excited as we were eagar to put our plan into action. When the time finally came, I found Angelica and Zoey sitting on a bench and

asked Angelica if I could talk's to her. As part of the plan, Angelica followed me right into the trap my friends and I set up for her. When

she was right on the spot, we made our move and tooked off her clothes and tied her into a chair. Then Anthony appeared to cut off all of

her hair as my friends and I just stood there and watched Angelica suffer for all the mean things she ever did to us. After she was made

bald, my friends and I threw a whole bunch of paint balloons at her and laughed at her. Angelica ran off as we have seen the end of her or

so we thought. Zoey then snapped at us for doing those things to her and tried to convince us that she was sorry for the mean things

Angelica did as she apparently tolded Zoey what she did. Of course, we didn't believe that was we headed back to my mommy and

daddy's cabin. Soon, we all saw Angelica as we all had satisfied looks on our faces with what we did to her. Then, Uncle Drew asked

Angelica what happened and she screamed and ranted that it was Me and my friends that did those horrible things to her. When Uncle Drew

turned to Anthony, he made a very convincing lie that got us off of the hook for the time being while Angelica tried to convince the

growed ups otherwise. Eventually, the growed ups decided that what had happened is in the past and couldn't do anything right then

without evidence. My friends and I grinned as we won the battle or so we thought. Not super long after that, I noticed that Angelica wasn't

in my mommy and daddy's cabin and I started to worry and so did Chuckie. When we asked Anthony if he has seen Angelica, he grabbed

us by our shirts and yelled at us. Me and Chuckie were pretty shaken and ascared by Anthony's outburst as we thought he was a nice kid

and wondered why he was being mean all the sudden. When Anthony had to go potty, Me and Chuckie tooked this chance to run back to

our friends and tolded them what had just happened. And after talking it over and thinking about it real good, I suddenly felt really guilty

about the rebenge (revenge) I helped pull off on Angelica. Me, Chuckie, Phil and Lil started crying as we realized we made a big mistake

and had to fix it before it's too late. So, Susie ran off to tell the growed ups that Angelica was missing. Then Anthony returned and yelled

at us for telling the growed ups that Angelica was missing, but Me and my friends as well as the growed ups didn't care if Angelica was

mean or a spoiled brat, we had to finds her and make sure she was okay, so everybody, except Anthony gots the rescue peoples to help us

out. But little did anybody know, we were in for even more trouble as the ships alarms and bells went off. My friends and I were ascared

by what was happening as a huge wall of water hit our ship and turned it upside down. After we recovered from that, I rallied my friends

to help find Angelica and make sure she was okay. Of course Me and my friends didn't know that Anthony secretly followed us as we

were searching for Angelica. Anthony was really trying to hurt Me and my friends as we tried to stop him, buts he was too much for us.

Suddenly, a miracle came as Angelica and Zoey arrived at the scene. And even though Zoey was knocked out likes the rest of us, Angelica

gotted really brave and beated the cookies out of Anthony when she stood up to him for us. After Me and my friends woke up and saw

that Angelica defeated Anthony, we all ran up to hug and apologize to her for our rebenge (revenge). But Angelica tolded us that she

should be the one to apologize instead and we all forgave her, except for Anthony of course. Eventually, we were all rescued by Peter as

he came to get us all off of the sinking ship in good time. When we were on another boat returning to land, Me, Angelica, my friends and

our newest friend to the bunch Zoey had an interesting discussion on playing and sleeping over at everybody's houses as we knew that we

would have even funner days ahead. After we all returned home, we all learned that Angelica's evil cousin Anthony wasn't gonna move to

our town and it was the bestest news we heared and things would be a lot better off without Anthony. And since Zack couldn't come with

us on the cruise, Angelica apologized to him as well and after Peter tolded him that she wielded and used Erebus, it convinced Zack to

forgive her since she turned a new leaf. And ever since the end of that cruise, Me and all my friends have been having a lot more fun than

ever before with Angelica since she has started being good to us".

End of Tommy POV

"Wow" exclaimed Rosie. "That was quite a life changing adventure for your cousin Angelica" she said.

"Yeah, Me and all my friends now know how Angelica must have felt when she helped Coco almost become Chuckie's new mommy, because it's the same way that we felt when we helped Anthony almost really get rid of Angelica" said Tommy.

"I'm glad my boyfriend and all his friends and cousin are all okay inspite of everything that happened" replied Rosie.

"Yeah, it's a miracle that none of us gotted a boo-boo when Anthony was hurting us" said Tommy.

"I'm glad that even though Anthony lives here in Boston, our mommies and daddies won't let him anywhere near Me and my friends and that is fine with me" replied Rosie.

"Yeah, but still I feels really sorry that Anthony and Reggie live in the same town as You and your friends" said Tommy.

"Perhaps when I gets a chance to visit you and all your friends, I'd be able to relax and have fun and not worry about Angelica being mean at all if she's going straight" replied Rosie.

"Yep, I can safely promise you that" said Tommy.

"Well thanks for sharing that story Tommy, I gots to go now as it's almost snacktime for Me" said Rosie.

"Yeah, It's almost snacktime for Me and Dilly" replied Tommy.

"Talk to ya later" said Rosie.

"Good bye Rosie" replied Tommy double tapping the end call button on Peter's iphone, disconnecting the call.

At that moment, Peter and Dil walked into the living room.

"Hey Bro, how do you likes my creation of Goober the Gopher" asked Dil.

"Nice creative work Dilly" replied Tommy.

"Thanks" said Dil.

"So how is Rosie doing Tommy" asked Peter as he stashed his iphone in the pocket of his gray Confederate uniform.

"Rosie is doing okay" replied Tommy.

"That's good to know" replied Peter. "You guys ready for snacktime" he asked.

"Yeah" replied Tommy and Dil in unison.

Peter then led Tommy and Dil into the kitchen for snacktime.
