It was a beauitful fall day in Yucaipa, California as Drew, along with Angelica, Susie, Zoey and the Rugrats arrived at the park.
"Have fun kids" said Drew.
The children all nodded as they ran off to play. And no sooner were the kids out of sight as Drew sat down on a bench, Prudence's Mom, her oldest daughter Prudence and her youngest daughter Gloria approached him.
"Ah hello there, we meet again" said Drew.
"Good to see you again Mr. Pickles" replied Prudence's Mom.
"Is this your oldest daughter Prudence" asked Drew.
"Yes indeed" replied Prudence's Mom.
"Hello" said Prudence as she waved at him.
"I see your little sister is back too" observed Drew.
"Yeah, and I heared that she bullied some of the kids while I was away at day camp. But don't worries, I'm making sures that she won't pull anything behind my back" replied Prudence.
"That's my big girl" said Prudence's Mom. ''Now why don't you two run along and have fun" she added.
Prudence and Gloria nodded as they ran off. Somewhere else in the park, the Rugrats, Angelica, Susie and Zoey were enjoying themselves.
"Hey girls, my daddy gotted me this new Cynthia clamcorder (camcorder)" said Angelica.
"Cool" replied Susie and Zoey in unison.
"My daddy gotted me a Cynthia clamcorder (camcorder) as well" said Susie.
"Since we're on roller skates, why don't we take turns videotaping and taking pictures of one another" suggested Zoey.
"I'm cool with that" replied Susie.
"Same here" added Angelica.
Meanwhile, Dil and Savannah were happily playing in the sandbox with their favorite toys.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha, I loves playing with my Goober toy" said Dil.
"And I just love playing with my favoritest Dora the Explorer doll" replied Savannah.
Meanwhile, Phil and Lil were getting dirty looking for bugs.
"Hey Philip look" exclaimed Lil "Wormies" she said.
"C'mon" said Phil "Let's grabs em afore they gets away" he said.
Meanwhile, Jesse, Kimi, and Zack were happily playing on the jungle gym.
"Hey guys" asked Jesse "How long can you hang upside down on the monkey bars" he said.
"I could try to hang upside down long enough till I'm ready to be rights side ups" replied Kimi.
"I don't think I can back away from a challenge, let's try it" said Zack.
Meanwhile, Tommy and Chuckie were having fun on the slide.
"Weeee, this is fun" said Tommy.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha, I'm glad I don't gots to be ascared of the slide" replied Chuckie.
Tommy nodded. Meanwhile, Prudence and Gloria were walking towards the other side of the park talking about Gloria's punishment for bullying when all the sudden they saw the Rugrats gang from the hill top.
"Hey look, it's those kids that gotted ME in trouble!" exclaimed Gloria.
"Now Gloria, you are gonna behave yourself this time right?" asked Prudence.
"Nah, only goody goody kids behave" replied Gloria.
Gloria then observed a certain strawberry headed boy playing with someone and at the same time, she spotted a certain blond haired girl having fun with her friends. Then Gloria had a devious look on her face as an idea flew into her head as Prudence looked worried.
"He-he-he-he" cackled Gloria as she ran off in the opposite direction of the Rugrats gang.
"Hmmm, I better follow her and see what she is up to" Prudence said to herself.
Soon, Prudence had secretly caught up to Gloria as she looked around and made sure no one followed as Prudence hid behind a tree and hung back and listened.
"He-he-he-he, those stupid babies think that the blond headed girl is their greatest secret weapon to stop me eh. Well, what if it turns out that their secret weapon is a traitor? And I bet that some of them brought their favoritest toys to play with. And if that's true, they won't know what's gonna hit them as I will gets rebenge (revenge) and make that blond headed girl looks so bad in front of her friends, she'll lose their trust and I'll look so good when I tell them that their secret weapon betrayed them, they won't even know it until after it's too late!" said Gloria as she laughed manically.
Prudence gasped quietly as she could clearly see her sister was up to no good.
"In the meantimes, I'm gonna wait for the rights time to strike behinds their backs and NO ONE is gonna be the wisest, he-he-he-he" cackled Gloria as she walked away.
Prudence knew what her responsibility as a big sister was and had to take immediate action to teach her little sister a lesson.
"I gots to find Tommy and Chuckie and warns them" said Prudence.
And Prudence left her hiding spot and set off to find Tommy and Chuckie. Meanwhile, Tommy and Chuckie were walking when all the sudden, they saw a familiar figure they hadn't seen for quite awhile coming towards them.
"Prudence!" exclaimed Tommy and Chuckie in unison.
"Hey guys" replied Prudence.
"We haven't seen you in foreber" said Chuckie.
"Yeah, how have you been" asked Tommy.
"I'm good thank you" replied Prudence. "But I've come to warn you and your friends about my sister Gloria" she said.
"Uh-oh!" went Tommy and Chuckie in unison.
Prudence then explained to the boys the impending revenge plan Gloria has in store for Angelica and all their friends.
"That Bumble-bee sure doesn't give up easy" said Chuckie.
"Wow, thanks for warning us Prudence, I'm sure your mommy would be proud of you" added Tommy.
"Thanks Tommy" replied Prudence.
"But you guys, what will we do about the Bumble-bee?" asked Chuckie.
"I'll tell you what we're gonna do, we're all gonna stop this afore it starts, acause a baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do!" went Tommy.
"I'm willing to work with you and your friends as my sister doesn't know I'm trying to stop her" said Prudence.
"That's great Prudence. And we gots some more new friends in our group, we'd like for you to meet them" said Tommy.
"That's cool" replied Prudence.
And Tommy, Chuckie and Prudence made a beeline towards the playground and caught up to the rest of the gang.
"Hey guys" said Tommy and Chuckie in unison.
"Hey" replied Angelica, Susie, Zoey and the other Rugrats in unison.
Then Phil, Lil, Dil, and Kimi recognized a familiar face they hadn't seen since the last time they saw her at the El Dorado playground.
"Prudence!" exclaimed Phil, Lil, Dil and Kimi in unison.
"For those that don't know, this is Mine and Chuckie's friend Prudence" said Tommy.
"Hey everyone" replied Prudence.
"Hi, I'm Zoey Anderson" said Zoey.
"I'm Jesse Barrow" said Jesse.
"I'm Zack Weherenberg" said Zack.
"I'm Savannah Green" said Savannah.
"I'm Susie Carmichael" said Susie.
"And I'm Angelica C. Pickles" said Angelica.
"I'm glad to meet some more friends of Tommy and Chuckie" replied Prudence.
"What'cha doing here Prudence" asked Dil.
Pruedence then explained to the others about the impending revenge plan Gloria has in mind for them.
"Oh-no she won't!" exclaimed Phil and Lil in unison.
"Yeah, she won't get away with it" agreed Zoey.
"So the Bumble-bee still hadn't learned her lesson huh?" said Zack.
"And she's probably waiting for us to turn our backs and strike as we speak" added Angelica.
"At least we know what the Bumble-bee is up to and how to stop it" agreed Kimi.
"And when we confront her, we'll make sure she knows that when she has a problem with one of us, she has a problem with all of us" said Susie.
"If I was able to push her off the playground structure the firstest time and Angelica was able to flips her over the second time, I'm sure we can all beats the Bumble-bee together this time" said Dil.
"From the sound of this, it sounds likes the Bumble-bee isn't taking no prisoners, but we can win this" added Jesse.
"Does your sister know that you're trying to stop her Prudence?" asked Savannah.
"She has no idea that I am" replied Prudence.
"You gots some sneakiness in you Prudence!" said Kimi smiling. "I likes it!"
"So what's the plan guys" asked Savannah.
"Hey I know, Me and Susie have Cynthia clamcorders (camcorders) that our daddies gotted us recently. We could use those to get the Bumble-bee on video and get pictures of her in the act" suggested Angelica.
"I think I get your drift Angelica. When the Bumble-bee sees that our friends left their favoritest toys unguarded, she'll make short work of swiping them and planting them in your backpack right?" asked Zoey.
"Yep" replied Angelica.
"And after the Bumble-bee tells our friends that their favoritest toys were stolded by someone with blond hair and pigtails, she'll be expecting them to unload on you when she gloats about it. But since our friends already know what's going on and not becoming victims of the Bumble-bee, they'll instead come up from behind and get her to spill the milk to us while either Me or Susie show the grown ups the evidence while the Bumble-bee is distracted right?" asked Zoey.
"Yep" replied Angelica.
The others thought for a moment.
"We likes this plan" said Phil and Lil in unison.
"I'm games" said Tommy.
"Uh-huh, let's show her who's bossy again" added Kimi.
"I can't wait to see the look on the Bumble-bee's face when she sees the tables burned (turned)" said Dil.
"That makes two of us Dil" replied Savannah.
" We're in!" exclaimed Angelica, Susie and Zoey in unison.
"Alright, I guess I'm in too" said Chuckie.
"This is gonna be so satisfying" added Jesse.
"Justice is gonna prevail in this case" replied Zack.
"While you guys get things ready, I better get back to my sister before she catches on and I'll be back" said Prudence.
"Okay Prudence" replied Tommy.
And Prudence made a beeline to the other side of the park and found Gloria.
"Hey sis" greeted Prudence.
"Hey, where have you been" asked Gloria.
"Oh, I had to go potty" replied Prudence.
"Hmmm, okay" shrugged Gloria.
Gloria felt like she waited long enough to put her revenge plan into motion, so she made up an excuse to sneak off from her big sister Prudence.
"Hey look up in the sky Prudence!" exclaimed Gloria.
Prudence looked up toward the sky and saw nothing as Gloria made a beeline away from her.
"He-he-he-he, sucker" sneered Gloria as she ran off as Prudence turned around to see her little sister had disappeared.
"It's all going according to plan'' said Prudence as she quietly set off in pursuit of her sister.
Meanwhile, the Rugrats, Angelica, Susie and Zoey had gotten things ready to thwart Gloria's revenge plan.
"Looks like we're all set for the Bumble-bee you guys" said Tommy.
"Yeah" replied the others in unison.
And the Rugrats set their favorite toys on the picnic blanket along with Angelica's Cynthia backpack.
"Now let's go play some more you guys'' said Tommy.
The others nodded in agreement as they ran off to play, whilst Angelica, Susie and Zoey were hiding in the bushes as they got the Cynthia camcorders ready.
"Okay, we got the Cynthia clamcorders (camcorders) up and rolling'' said Susie.
"Cool" replied Angelica and Zoey in unison.
Meanwhile, Gloria was approaching the area where the Rugrats gang left their toys unguarded as part of their plan to expose the Bumble-bee.
"He-he-he-he, this is gonna be so easy and those stupid babies, their secret weapon and my goody goody two shoes of a sister have no clue on what's about to happen" gloated Gloria.
Soon, Gloria saw the Rugrats favorite toys scattered about on the picnic blanket such as Chuckie's Wawa teddy bear, Kimi's Superthing doll, Dil's Goober the Gopher toy, Savannah's Dora the Explorer doll, Tommy's Reptar doll and Zack's Super Why toy as she eyed them.
"Oooooh, that blond pigtailed girl is gonna be in big trouble when her friends see that their favoritest toys are in her backpack and I'll have my rebenge (revenge)" said Gloria gleefully.
And Gloria proceeded to snatching up the toys and purposefully planting them in Angelica's Cynthia backpack, just as Angelica, Susie and Zoey were all quietly catching this on the Cynthia camcorders.
"There that's the last of them. And now to go and tattle on that blond pigtailed girl, he-he-he-he" cackled Gloria.
And Gloria joyously walked away. And no sooner was she out of sight, Prudence came out from behind the tree at the same time as Angelica, Susie and Zoey came out from behind the bushes.
"Hey girls" greeted Prudence.
"Hey" replied Angelica, Susie and Zoey in unison.
"We just caught your little sister on the Cynthia clamcorders (camcorders) doing exactly what you said she'd be doing" said Susie.
"Yep, I knew she would" agreed Prudence.
"In turn, it's time to move on to the next part of our plan. Susie and Prudence, can you take these Cynthia clamcorders (camcorders) to My daddy and Gloria and Prudence's mommy and show them the evidence?" asked Angelica.
"We're on it" replied Susie and Prudence in unison.
And Susie and Prudence set off to find Drew and Prudence's Mom as Angelica got ready for the next act and Zoey hid in the bushes to back her friends up. Meanwhile, the Rugrats where happily playing together when all the sudden, Gloria approached them as she got into her act.
"Hello there" said Gloria as she put on a fake smile.
"Um, hello " murmured Kimi to no one in particular.
"I thought you guys would like to know that I saw a blond headed girl swipe your toys" said Gloria.
"Gasp!" went the Rugrats as they acted shocked.
"What will we do?" asked Phil and Lil in unison as they acted upset.
"You could follow me and we could confronts the thief" suggested Gloria.
The Rugrats nodded as they went along with the act.
"But you'll have to hurry if we're gonna confronts her" said Gloria.
And Gloria made a beeline towards Angelica and the toys as the Rugrats grinned.
"The plot thickens guys" said Zack.
The others nodded as they followed behind as they knew that this was part of their plan. Meanwhile, Angelica got ready for her act as she looked in her Cynthia backpack and saw it was indeed loaded with her friends toys. All the sudden, Gloria quickly approached Angelica.
"Ooooooh, you're gonna be in big trouble when your friends see that their secret weapon had turned against them" said Gloria gleefully.
"Gloria!" exclaimed Angelica as she acted shocked.
"That's right! And my rebenge (revenge) will soon be completed" said Gloria.
"Revenge for what?" asked Angelica.
"For getting ME in trouble with my mommy!" sneered Gloria. "Well, you are about to feel what I felt when I was in trouble" she added.
At that moment, the blond one year old girl felt hands force her down as Phil and Lil held Gloria's hands down whilst Chuckie and Kimi held her feet down.
"HEY LET ME GO!" snapped Gloria.
"Don't try to fake us! We know you're a bad naughty girly!" said Lil.
"Yeah, the jig is up Bumble-bee!" added Phil.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about" stuttered a surprised Gloria.
"Yes you do!" snapped Chuckie.
At that moment, Zoey, Jesse, Dil, Savannah, Zack and Tommy surrounded Gloria as they stared sternly at her. Meanwhile, Drew and Prudence's Mom were chatting, just as Susie and Prudence ran up to them.
"Hi kids" said Drew and Prudence's Mom in unison.
"Mr. Pickles and Prudence's Mom" Susie began. "You're gonna wanna see what we caught on these Cynthia clamcorders (camcorders) and follows us afterward" she said.
Drew and Prudence's Mom took a look at the footage on the Cynthia camcorders and they were none too pleased at what they saw.
"Oh my youngest daughter a thief!" exclaimed Prudence's Mom.
"Now, now let's not get too hasty and create a scene here" advised Drew. "However, this wrong should be righted" he added.
"Agreed" replied Prudence's Mom.
"Also, Prudence here is working with Me and our friends to teach Gloria a lesson about this and stop her. And if the timing is right, the rest of our friends are likely confronting Gloria as we speak" said Susie.
"It's true mommy, even Gloria doesn't know yet that I too am trying to stop her" added Prudence.
"That's mommy's big girl there" replied Prudence's Mom.
"Can you girls take us to the scene at once?" asked Drew.
"Yes!" replied Susie and Prudence in unison.
And Drew and Prudence's Mom quickly followed Susie and Prudence. Meanwhile, back to where the Rugrats, Angelica and Zoey were confronting Gloria.
"We know about your little plan to make Angelica look bad in front of us. Well, we had someone looking out for us, and that someone was none other than your own big sister!" said Kimi.
"And don't even THINK about getting retribution on Prudence. Because if we see one hair out of place on her head, we are going to have a problem!" snapped Zack.
"Your day of reckoning has arrived. It's time you paid the piper!'' said Zoey.
"You gots no proof to do me in with this!" snapped Gloria.
"Oh-no?" questioned Phil and Lil ominously.
"This capture is only the beginning for you Bumble-bee" Jesse chimed in.
"Before we captured you, the big girls videotaped and gotted pictures of you swiping our toys and putting them in Angelica's Cynthia backpack so she'd take the blame for something you know you did and showed them to my uncle Drew and your mommy" said Tommy.
"NOOOOOOOO!" wailed Gloria.
"Oh yeah!" replied Dil and Savannah in unison.
"And I bet all of the cookies in the world that they are not too pleased to see a kid trying to frame another for something he or she didn't do in the first place" added Angelica.
As if mentioning the grown ups summoned them, Susie and Prudence appeared with Drew and Prudence's Mom.
"You got that right!?" said Drew and Prudence's Mom in unison.
The kids turned around to see Susie, Prudence, Drew and Prudence's Mom standing behind them as Gloria gulped.
"Young lady, these kids just showed us the photos and videotape of you trying to pin the blame on another kid for this toy theft, is this true?" asked Prudence's Mom sternly.
Between being pinned down by the other kids and being surrounded by a bunch of stern and serious looks by everyone else, Gloria gave in as there was no way out of this as she sincerely nodded her head in response to her mother's question.
"You are going to feel the weight of your punishment for this when we get home later young lady" said Prudence's Mom sternly.
"Might I suggest going to see a family psychologist about this while you're at it'' suggested Drew.
"I'll take note of that Mr. Pickles, thank you'' replied Prudence's Mom before turning to Prudence. "Since we'll head home in an hour, you can play with your friends until then Prudence" she added.
"Thanks mommy" replied Prudence. "And I'll gladly teach Gloria the difference between right and wrong as she had seen today" she added.
Prudence's Mom nodded as the Rugrats released Gloria as her mother picked her up and took her to another part of the park to have a heart to heart talk with Gloria. Drew Meanwhile, headed back to the picnic area, whilst the Rugrats, Angelica, Susie, Zoey and Prudence walked on over to the playground and had a chat along the way.
"Prudence, thanks again for helping us expose your sister and putting her in her place" said Tommy.
"I was glad to do it guys" replied Prudence.
"Maybe now we can have fun on the playground without having to worry about your sister ruining everything" added Chuckie.
"Thank bob (God) for that!" said Phil and Lil in unison.
"I do wonder something though Prudence, when did you meet Tommy and Chuckie for the first time" asked Zack.
Tommy, Chuckie and Prudence then explained how they met one another during their very first encounter on the El Dorado playground and how it all went down with Tommy taking on Prudence as the Junk Food Kid when she was the meanest playground bully around. But thanks to some fast action on Tommy's part, as well as having Chuckie and Belinda to back him up during the show down, Prudence turned a new leaf.
"At least you acknowledged that you've done wrong right then and there Prudence" Zack observed. "Your sister, to a lesser degree isn't quite capable of doing that yet. And I think that is what sets you apart from her'' he added.
"I know. That is why I'm gonna keep trying to get Gloria to be on the same path as I am no matter how hard it might be'' replied Prudence.
"One thing for sure that most of us learned recently is that you should never give up on someone" said Tommy.
"Yeah, it just might lead to more problems if you do" added Chuckie.
The others nodded in agreement. And for the rest of the afternoon, the kids had an uneventful time after dealing with Gloria's antics.
The end
