A/N: Okay so this is part 2. I don't think it's as funny, but it's just as good. It only took me about half as long to write though *shrugs*.
Chapter 3 should be up before to long.
Disclaimer: (I forgot to add one to Chapter 1) I don't own the Rugrat's Characters. Nickleodeon and Klasky Csupo does. Okay? Okay.
No Brakes Part 2: Tommy's Discovery
The lunch bell rang and Tommy jumped up from the desk he was sitting in so fast his knees hit the underside of the desk. He got in line, rubbing the sore spot, gave the lady his number, and took his food without his usual thanks. Something was nagging at him but he couldn't decide exactly what. He dropped his tray on the table with a clatter. "Rough day Tommy?" Kimi asked innoccently, trying to break the silence that had followed his display of frustration. Tommy just grunted, his deffinition of an answer for the moment. He then took his customary place between Chuckie and Lil, and shoveled a mouthful of pudding into his mouth. "Say where's Dil?" Phil asked looking around. "I don't know. He should be out by now. He's never late for lunch." Kimi said, looking a little worried. Tommy wasn't as mad about this conversation as he would have been earlier. By now his anger had faded and some concern for his baby brother took over. "Hey guys." Susie said, sitting down next to Kimi while Angelica sat over next to her and Phil. "Uh Susie, have you seen Dil? He's only a freshman and you know all the bad stuff they do to freshman..." "No Tommy I haven't." Just then Timmy and his little brother sat down with thier usual display of noise and glammer. "Hey guys what's up? You look all glum." Timmy said, before taking a large swig of his drink. "We don't know where Dil is and we're starting to get worried. Have you seen him?" Tommy asked. "I haven't. What about you guys?" Timmy looked at his 4 younger brothers. The older 3 shook thier heads but the youngest nodded. "Where'd you see him Danny?" "He's in my class right before this one. He said he was feeling sick and went to the bathroom. He never came back." "Sluffer." Teddy McNulty muttered. Tommy glared at him. "My brother doesn't sluff. If he didn't come back to class he had a good reason." Tommy got up and pushed his tray over to Phil, "I better go find him." Tommy got to his feet and walked off in the direction of Dil's last class. He turned in the bathroom nearest. He strained his ears, and heard a soft sobbing. Tommy poked his head in an unlocked stall. There, sitting in a little ball on the tolit seat, was Dil. He looked almost pathetic, his short red hair sticking up in all directions and his face kind of blotchey. "Dil?" Dil looked up, and gasped at the sight of his older brother. Quickly he tried to whipe away the tears, even though he knew it was to late to hide that something was wrong. Tommy walked in a shut the door behind him. "Dil what's the matter? Did one of the older students do something to you?" Dil shook his head and whiped his nose on his sleeve. "Mom and Dad." Tommy knew then what had been troubling his little brother. Lately finicial troubles had been the cause of a few fights between Stu and DiDi. "Look Dil, it's nothing to worry about. Married couples fight, it's part of life." "You didn't hear them at 3:30 this morning." "That's what you were doing up that early. I thought it was wierd I mean even for you. Hey! I was just kidding!" He added the last bit with a glance at Dil's face. "What happened Dilly?" "They where fighting again. Louder and worse then before. Then mom said she was going today to file a divorce. She said Dad could keep you but she had to keep me." The news shocked Tommy. "So. So it's not enough for them to divorce on us without telling us but they have to split us up to?" Dil started to cry even harder. "I don't want to be split up Tommy! What if mom moves to another state and we hardly ever get to see each other anymore. Who's gonna' help me with my homework and football? Who's gonna' protect me from the older kids if your not there? Who's gonna' reassure me when I'm scared or hurt? What am I suppossed to do without you Tommy." The pain on Dil's face was to much for Tommy to bare. Any anger that was still in him from the morning vanished. He took Dil in his arms, holding him gently. He glared at the wall angerily. "Don't worry Dilly. I won't let them split us up. I promise." For once Dil didn't protest to being held like a small child. The two sat together until the end of lunch. Then Tommy dried Dil's tears, whipped his nose, and smiled at him. "I'll always be there for you Dil. No matter what. Just remember that okay?" "Okay Tommy?" With a weak smile Dil walked off to his Science class, while Tommy walked to his Gym Class. It was his only class with the rest of the gang. He decided right then to tell them about thier problem. Including Angelica.
