Disclaimer: I don't own the Rugrats.
A/N: I redid chapter three because I had a hard time transitioning it to fit the ending. That and it bothered me on how I seemed to jump into it way too quickly. My apologies for the changes. However, I think I just might make the old chapter three a new story. Hope this chapter is to your liking! Oh, and thanks for the reviews and for waiting.
What Are Friends For?
Phil stared at the chalkboard with heavy eyes. He wasn't one to fall asleep in class, but he was beginning to make an exception for today. Leaning back into his chair, Phil let out a silent yawn and dropped his pencil on his notebook.
"Sleepy?" a voice behind him whispered as their teacher continued to write notes on the board.
A smile appeared on his face as he whispered back, "Yeah, I stayed up practically the whole night talking to this hot chick."
The comment caused Kimi to let out a quiet giggle as she resumed taking notes. "Flirt," she mumbled as she looked over his shoulder to gaze at the chalkboard.
Phil chuckled as he grabbed his pencil and began drawing on his notebook, self-consciously drawing the first thing that came to his mind. His actions gained the attention of Kimi as her eyes wondered from the board to his desk. She knew he wasn't taking any notes his movements weren't the usual writing pattern, but more like a sketching one. Kimi's eyes remained on the paper waiting for his hand to move so she could see. Just than the bell rang and for a brief the drawing was visible just before Phil closed his notebook.
'A rose?' Kimi thought as she slowly shut her own notebook. It wasn't something Phil would normally draw and for some reason it brought an uneasy feeling to Kimi.
"Hey Kimi, you okay?" Phil said, breaking through her thoughts.
She looked up to see Phil standing while she was still in her seat. "Um yeah," she quickly responded as she grabbed her notebook and swung her bag on.
"Lack of sleep finally getting to you?" smirked Phil as he zipped up her open backpack. She gave him a sleepish smile mouthing him a 'thanks'. He was beginning to think she was use to no sleeping, since she seemed wide- awake for most of the day. "See what talking on the phone late at night does to you."
"So I was the 'hot chick' you were talking about," teased Kimi as they stepped out of the classroom.
"No, I was referring to the 'hot chick' that called me before you," joked Phil as they walked down the busy halls towards the cafeteria.
Kimi let out a laugh of shock, playfully shoving Phil. "Admit it Phillip. I am the hottest girl you ever met." She was a bit surprised the words had left her mouth, perhaps sleep deprivation did that to her.
Phil stopped walking and turned to look at Kimi who gave him a surprised look. "Kimi Finster you're the hottest girl I have ever met," Phil seriously said with a smile on his face. He meant every word, but of course she didn't know that. Kimi felt her heart race as he stared at her. Realizing silence would only make the tall boy grin even more Kimi regained her composer as she rolled her eyes.
"Stop flirting with my sister, Deville," Chuckie playfully warned as he pushed Phil away from Kimi.
"Us flirting?" Phil said with a smile as he looked at Chuckie.
"You just called my sister 'the hottest girl'," Chuckie pointed out as he stared at Phil.
"Correction I told your sister she's 'the hottest girl I have ever met'," laughed Phil as he looked at Kimi.
"Forget him Chuckie. He's delusional," Kimi spoke up as she pushed her brother forward, so that they could start walking. "No sleep does that to him."
The subject shifted as soon as they started walking again. Chuckie and Phil were talking about sports while Kimi's mind wondered off topic. 'I cannot possibly be falling for Phil. I like Tommy, but than again why did Phil's drawing make me uneasy and why was my heart racing when Phil called me hot?'
"You really got to stop phasing out," Phil said as he handed Kimi her tray. He had been trying to gain her attention since they got in line.
"Guess lack of sleep can do that," Kimi weakly smiled, pushing her thoughts behind her.
"Lack of sleep can make you two flirtatious, but who notices" teased Chuckie as Kimi frowned and Phil gave his friend a look.

Phil walked down the crowded hall. School had just finished and he was ready to go home and sleep. His mind wondered off to the conversation with Kimi after science class. Chuckie always accused them of flirting, but he never seen things like that. They were just nice to one another. 'Maybe Chuckie's right. Maybe lack of sleep does make us flirtatious. It sure seemed that way' thought Phil as he stopped at his locker.
"Hey Phil" smiled Kimi as she appeared right beside him.
"Hey Kimi. Looking wide-awake and cheerful I see," grinned Phil as he put the books he didn't need in his locker.
"Trust me I'm ready to crash," Kimi said with a smile as she watched Phil. "Can I ask you for a favor?"
"What are friends for?" Phil said as he glanced at her just as she flashed him a smile.
"Can I come over? I left my keys at home, my parents are at work, and Chuckie left to do a project before I could ask him for his," Kimi explained as Phil shut his locker.
"Sure thing, but we better go now unless you want to walk there," Phil answered as glanced at his watch.
"I'm too exhausted to walk," whine Kimi as they walked out of the school building.
"That makes two of us now come on," Phil replied as he grabbed her hand and began running.
"Phil!" yelled Kimi as she did her best to run with him. His actions caught her off guard and she nearly lost balance.
"Don't make me carry you," Phil responded, realizing Kimi was as tired as she said she was. Normally she would be running the same pace as him.
"You can carry me all the way home if you want. Just stop running!" Kimi begged too tired to run.
"That's six blocks almost!" Phil pointed out as he looked back to see Kimi smiling at him.
"It's seven, but who's counting," teased Kimi as she picked up speed. Seven blocks was too much to walk today, all she really wanted was some sleep and if running brings her closer to sleeping than she'd run even if she was too exhausted.
The two made it to the bus stop just as the bus arrived. Walking on, they collapsed in exhaustion into the first seat they saw empty.
"Next time we don't get enough sleep let's not run," Kimi said as she caught her breath. She took off her backpack and placed it on the side just as Phil did the same.
"And what if we miss the bus?" asked Phil as he leaned back.
"You can carry me home," Kimi sweetly smiled as Phil stared at her.
"All six blocks?" Phil questioned, although he knew if it really came down to it he probably would.
"No, seven," teased Kimi causing Phil to let out a short laugh. Tired, Kimi rested her head on Phil's shoulder, closed her eyes, and dozed off.
"Kimi," whispered Phil as he gently shook her shoulder. Kimi opened her eyes just as they pulled up to his house. She turned to grab her things, but the spot next to her was empty. Looking over at Phil, Kimi watched him stand up with both backpacks on. "Come on." Nodding her head, Kimi followed Phil out of the bus and into the empty house. "What do you want to do?" Shutting the door behind them, Phil placed their things on the armchair.
"Sleep," Kimi simply answered as she headed straight to the couch.
Thankful she wanted to do the same thing, Phil followed her to the couch and sat down beside her. Placing his feet on the coffee table in front of them, Phil turned on the TV and switched on to MTV. Relieved that they were playing music videos Kimi curled up on the couch. Feeling her head on his shoulder Phil glanced down at Kimi to see her smile at him, he smiled back as he moved his arm around her so that she was now resting on his chest.
The actions were nothing new to them. They were best friends and occasionally watched movies together like that. Phil glanced at Kimi to see her already asleep, turning the volume down, Phil placed the remote on the side and closed his eyes.

Note: I keep forgetting to mention that suggestions are always welcomed. I can't promise I'll use it, but I'll take it into high consideration. Chances are if it fits in the storyline I'll use it. If it doesn't I will try to use it in new stories, with permission of course. I can tell you now I'm going to end this story soon because ideas are running dry.
