***********************************
Chapter 1
The Rugrats gang sat at a table in the Java Lava, all drinking a nice cold smoothie that Chuckie had just made a few minutes before. There was no talk, just a lot of slurping and burping sounds that irritated the other customers.
"So...what are we going to do today?" Kimi broke the 'silence' after finishing her smoothie. They all stopped quick enough to look at her, then continue slurping through their straws. Then Phil stopped short. "Oh...oh oh oh...brain freeze!" He screamed as he held his head tightly, stomping his feet on the tiled floor. Everyone took their straw out of their mouths and started laughing. "What brain are you referring to exactly?" Lil managed to choke out while trying to swallow the last bit of her drink. He let go of his head and looked at Lil.
"Ha ha, very funny Lillian." He said in a mocking tone of her sarcasm. She hit him over the head with her cup and shook her head. He grumbled something to himself and looked out of the window that was nearest to them.
When the laughing finally ceased, it became somewhat quiet again, except that all of the other customers left because of the obnoxious kids in the corner. "This is a very boring Monday afternoon." Tommy said, placing both hands under his chin and sighing. They all mimicked him and sat in complete silence. "Kimi! Could you watch the counter for us dear? Chaz fainted again!" Betty called from the back room. Once again a laugh was emitted. "Sure thing Betty!" She replied back, heading towards the counter. They watched her walk off, then looked back to the table.
"If only we had something to do!" Phil said frustrated, slamming his fist on the table. Tommy caught two cups that were about to topple over. "Relax Phil. We'll find something...you guys haven't seen Dil have you?" he asked the others. They all shrugged their shoulders and looked around. He sighed and glanced out of the big window beside him, watching the cars go by.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of guys chasing a kid with orange hair from a distance. "That kid looks like Dil...I feel sorry for being chased by those guys." Phil said with relief in his voice. Tommy rolled his eyes and looked closer. His eyes widened. "THAT IS DIL!" He screamed, and with that, he ran out of the Java Lava, across the street, and ran into the alleyway he saw the guys run through. 'This can't be good.' He thought to himself as he momentarily watched the sight of his brother getting cornered in a dead end alleyway.
"Give it to me, you little imp!" The tallest of the group demanded, making Dil shake like mad. "I...I don't...have anything." He said in a tiny voice. The group closed in tighter. "We know you have some, now give it!" One of the others butted in. He was kinda tall and somewhat muscular. You couldn't tell from where Tommy was standing. Then the tallest, from what looked to be as the leader, raised his fist high in the air.
Tommy, having the instinct to protect his sibling, pushed through and stood in front of Dil, his arms spread out wide. The tall kid stopped short and stared at him like he was some retarded idiot. "Get out of the way." He said lowly, his fists tightening. Tommy glared back at him, his eyes narrowed. "You want my brother? You have to go through me first." He said coldly, the kid shocked by his defense. He regained his composure and smiled wryly. "Fine...I will." He held his fist high and struck, missing Tommy by and inch. He had ducked under the punch, and kicked the kid between the legs, making him crumple over in pain. He climbed on top of him and punched him in the face a good 4 or 5 times, then stood up, breathing hard. "You want more?" He asked. Every guy...even the leader, all shook their heads and ran as fast as they could.
Tommy chuckled slightly and helped pick his brother up off of the ground. "You okay D?" He asked worriedly. He nodded. "Yeah...but...you kicked those guys arses!" He said with amazement and awe. Tommy waved it off. "It was nothing, really. Anything for my little bro." They did their little fist punching routine and they walked out of the alley, across the street, back into the Java Lava.
When he sat back down at the table, he noticed that everyone was staring. "....What?" He asked. Their mouths were open, and they couldn't utter a word. "Guys, come on. I was protecting my brother." He said, trying to show them it was really no big deal. "But...that is the toughest gang in school! You ran them OFF!" Phil said, still in complete shock. Kimi ran over, curious as to what happened. She had been in the back room helping Betty.
"What happened?" She asked with worry hinted in her voice. They all pointed to Tommy, who looked down. "T over here just kicked the toughest gang in school's arses!" Chuckie said, who was just passing by the window when he saw the one-sided brawl. Kimi's eyes widened. It was hard to believe that Tommy Pickles just beat up a gang member, and a very well- known gang member at that. This would obviously be around the school the next day. Tommy turned red, and in order to ignore it, he turned to his little brother.
"What DID that guy want from you anyway?" He asked him. Dil looked out the window to where he was in the corner of the alleyway. "He wanted my lunch money and my hat, and I said no, so he got mad and started chasing me, threatening to kill me." They all gasped. "I guess it's a good thing Tommy was there, huh?" Lil said. They all nodded, and so did Dil.
It was soon 8:00 at night, and they all headed home. "I'll see you later guys!" Dil and Tommy waved to Phil and Lil and Chuckie and Kimi. "Bye!" Phil and Lil yelled as they entered the house and shut the door behind them. Dil ran in backwards, Tommy walking up the driveway slowly, rethinking about what happened that day. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Kimi walk up to him.
"Tommy?" She asked quietly, making him jump slightly. "Hey Kimi. I thought you went home?" He looked into her eyes. Something inside of him stirred, and he just couldn't think of what it was. She smiled slightly, then frowned. "I was just making sure you are okay...I mean, you looked like you were in another world." She said, shuffling her feet. They both stopped walking and he turned directly towards her. "I'm find Kimi. Don't worry." He reassured his friend. She smiled again, then looked out across the street. "Do you think they'll come back and try to take you out?" She asked with fear in her eyes as she looked back at him. He shivered. "Hopefully they won't, and we'll all be okay." He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, then let go and headed up the walkway to the door. "Bye Tommy. See ya tomorrow at school." She waved and walked back to her house, the vision of Tommy's eyes still clear as day in her mind.
Tommy walked in the house and threw his bookbag against the corner of the room, then headed for the couch to rest. He jumped and landed perfectly in a good position and turned on the TV. Then Dil came in with Stu and Didi. "Tommy, what happened this afternoon?" Didi asked with concern. Tommy turned off the TV and turned around to face his parents. "We went to the Java Lava and..." "No...I mean the fight." His dad interrupted him. His breath caught in his throat. 'I can't believe Dil told them.' He smiled. "Oh that! Well you see, they were about to hurt Dil, so I got defensive and punched him a few good times and kicked him between the legs, and ran the whole group away." He said, scared of what his parents were going to do to him. "I see. Well, let's just hope you don't get involved with that stuff. No more fighting, unless it is to defend yourself or a friend or your brother." Stu said warningly. They both walked away, and Tommy slid back into the comfort of the couch with a heavy sigh of relief.
Soon, Tommy fell asleep, and morning came quicker than expected. "Hurry up Tommy! Or you're going to be late for school!" Didi yelled from the kitchen. "Whoa!" He was in such a dead sleep he scared himself and fell off of the couch. He gently rubbed his head and stood up, stretching every inch of his body to loosen up from being curled up on the couch. He quickly changed his clothes, brushed his teeth, gelled his hair, grabbed his backpack, and ran out the door to the school bus, Dil not too far behind him.
"Hurry up kids!" The bus driver yelled as they piled on. Tommy climbed on and saw his friends waving to him. He smiled and made his way to the back, sitting beside Chuckie. "Hey guys!" Tommy said. The other smiled as they watched Dil sit across from them in a sit all to himself. The bus ride was oddly quiet on the way to school, and when they got off it was quiet. Then...they saw a group of guys heading strait for them. Tommy gasped. "Guys...let me handle this." He said, putting a arm in front of his friends who were about to walk over. They nodded and Tommy stepped forward.
