Chapter 4: Losfer (Loss For) Characters
AN: This chapter will focus more on the Rugrats than my made up characters. I thought, "Hey, this is a Rugrats story. We should focus on the guys more!" But yeah... here we go.
Dil awoke early on a Saturday morning. He glanced at his clock, 7:03, and stood, stretching his stiff muscles. He had plans to meet Tom today... wait! Tom was gone with Jake and the rest of the Metal Militia. There was an event called Teen Fest going on in another town, and they were part of the bands to perform.
Dil sighed. He reached under his bed and produced a small gray book. He opened it, and flipped it to a blank page. He scribbled, "Today, she becomes mine" and put the date.
He hid the book back underneath his bed, and feel asleep again.
----------------------------------- Tommy's Point of View -----------------------------------
I glanced at my clock, 8:46. I was supposed to meet Kimi at noon, we had plans for a little shopping, dinner, and a movie. My feet hit the floor, dragging along the soft carpet. I went downstairs and made breakfast, toast and cereal. I figured I'd need my strength for today.
----------------------------------- On the stairs -----------------------------------
Dil shuffled downstairs, into the kitchen. He found his brother poking at his cereal, mind in another land. "You alright T?" he asked, pulling up a chair. "Just thinking about Kimi. Why are you up so early for?" "Can't sleep. Got my mind on a girl too." Dil said, reaching for the cereal. "Who?" Dil paused, silent. "D?" "Lil." Tommy broke out laughing at that, then off his brother's glance, he stopped. "Woah, how long have you had a thing for her?" Tommy asked. Dil thought for a moment, "About a year or so," he said, voice monotone. Something was wrong with Dil. Probably to much on his mine. 'Will she say yes, no?' What? Tommy decided to get him back to reality. Grabbing a handful of milky Cookie Crisp, he dropped them down Dil's shirt and mashed them into his back. Dil jumped up, dancing wildly at the contact of cold milk and mush on his flesh. Tommy laughed, then ran for the safety of his room.
--------------------------------- Later that day ---------------------------------
Angelica pulled into the Pickles' drive way around 1 PM. She blew her horn, impatient. Tommy ran down the stars, yelling good-bye to his parents and brother. He hurried into Angelica's Escalade. "Thanks for hauling me and Kimi around today." he said. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, just remember our deal. You have to do my outdoor chores for two weeks." she replied. The two picked up Kimi a few minutes later. The couple headed for the back, flirting around until Angelica yelled, "Quit you two, you're making me sick." She dropped them off at the mall 30 minutes later. "Alright guys, call when you need me to pick ya up."
--------------------------------- In Victoria's Secret ------------------------
Tommy sat outside one of the dressing rooms in Victoria's Secret. Kimi had went in to try a few things on, and she should've been out by now. They had already been through Spencer's, a guitar shop, FYE, Hot Topic, Subway, and a movie. They were tired, and ready to head home after this.
"Tommy, could you come here?" Tommy rose, and stepped to the door of the changing room. Kimi was modeling a skimpy black bikini for him. Tommy's jaw dropped. Kimi giggled, and pulled him into the dressing room, slamming the door.
--------------------------- At a local park, 8 PM ---------------------------
Lil walked slowly down a narrow foot trail on the outskirts of the McNulty Park. A note in her mailbox had said to follow the trail, and get to a location by 8 PM. She had left down the trail over thirty minutes ago. She was getting tired, and was ready to turn back. It was getting dark too. She touched the can of mace at her side, for reassurance. She turned a corner and was shocked at the sight.
The ground was laid with pink and red rose pedals. A large blanket was draped over the ground, with candles, and two chairs. Plates of food and glasses laid scattered among the blanket. It was one of the romantic settings she'd ever seen.
Suddenly, she heard a guitar. A Spanish guitar. Then Dil came out of the bushes. He had Tommy's guitar around his neck, and he was playing a slow song.
Lil smiled.
------------------------------ Leaving the mall ------------------------------
Tommy and Lil were heading out of the mall. They had already called Angelica. While heading by the electronics store, Kimi noticed a breaking news bulletin. She stopped, and Tommy joined her.
"Tonight's top story, this year's Teen Fest has ended in pandemonium. When it was announced three hours ago that AFI, a popular emo group, would not be able to perform, the crowd began to riot. This comes after 7 bands had to cancel performing at the show. Police are now in the process of breaking up the crowd. So far 2 people have died, and 34 others have severe injuries. We'll update you as the story progresses."
"Oh my God, Tommy. Jake and group could be injured."
"I'm sure they're fine." Tommy said, hoping that would be true.
--------------------------------- A Shift in Heartbeat ---------------------------------
Lil and Dil were sitting on the blanket. Dil had set up the entire dinner so he could impress her and ask her out. His hopes were high. Perhaps too high.
"Dil, I really don't know what to say. This is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me." Lil quietly said.
Dil smiled, "I love you Lil."
"Dil, we've been friends for a long time, and I really think you're great. But, I just don't think I could date you. I love you too, but more like a sister. Do you understand?"
Dil was shaken. His heartbeat slowed.
"I understand Lil."
"Good. It's late, and I better get home."
Dil pointed to a bicycle. "You can take that, if you like."
"Are you sure? Beca-"
"Yes."
"Thanks Dil." Lil hoped on. "Sure you don't want a ride?"
Dil nodded. Lil took off.
Dil packed up and started walking. When he reached the road, he produced a skateboard from his backpack. He got on, and headed away from his home. Toward town. Away from Lil. Away from trouble.
------------------------------ Habits ------------------------------
Chuckie was riding through the park, out of boredom. His sis was gone with Tommy, and there was nothing to do at home. He headed to an overlook, which gave a nice view of the nearby river. Upon arrival, he noticed Phil sitting on a bench. He was smoking, glancing toward the twilight sky.
"Hey Phil." Phil jumped. "Oh, hey Chuck. How you doing?" "Bored. You?" "I little nervous. My parents are considering sending me a boy's home. You know, a place where you wear uniforms and go a routine everyday." "Why?" "My grades have been slipping." Chuckie switched subjects. "How long have you been doing that," pointing to the cigarette. "About 3 months." "Does Lil know?" "Yeah. And I guess you do now." "Don't you think it's a bad habit to get into." "No. It helps my nerves." "Don't you think there's a better, more cost efficient way to handle your nerves?" "Yeah, but they don't work as fast. I've tried. Trust me." "You really shouldn't---" "Shut up, Chuck." The conversation died then. Phil looked to the bridge that connected the city from the suburbs. Blue lights were flashing like mad. It seemed as if someone was standing on the edge, and was going to jump.
"Let's go check this out Chuck." Phil snubbed the cig. The two jumped onto their bikes, and headed off toward the bridge.
--------------------------- 10-4 ---------------------------
Tommy, Angelica and Kimi were heading back to the four-lane when Tommy got a call.
"Hello." Tommy said. "How you doing man?" it was Jake. "I heard about the riot at Teen Fest. Y'all alright?" "Oh, we're fine. We headed out right after our performance. Crowd enjoyed us pretty good, if I may say." "That's good. Me, Kimi, and Angelica are heading home from the mall." "Are you all heading along 465?" "Uh, yes, why?" "I'm right behind ya." Tommy turned around. Sure enough, Jake's car was there. He flashed his lights. "Hard to miss Angelica's ride. What was 'princess' on the tag and what- not." Jake said. "Well, I guess I'm gonna go. Later." and Tommy hung up.
------------------------------ Fading. To. Black. ------------------------------
When Phil and Chuckie arrived at the scene on the bridge, they saw someone was going to jump, and that someone was Dil.
"Oh God Phil, what do we do?"
The police were already trying to calm Dil down and get him off the edge. It wasn't working to good.
"Dil, Dil it's Phil. Come down dude." Dil said nothing.
"What's that?" Kimi asked, looking at the scene. Angelica stopped, Tommy and Kimi jumped out and looked at Dil. Shock began to flow through them. Jake and his brother had also stopped and jumped out. They fought through the crowd, and ran up to the front of the barricade.
"Dil, what's wrong? Dil?!" Tommy was on the edge of exploding or imploding. "Dil, don't do it man. It isn't worth it." Jake called out.
Dil stood still, silent. A single tear ran down his cheek. Dil turned. He look at the crowd. He then spoke.
"No one, but me, can save myself, but it is too late. Death greets me warm. Now I will just say goodbye. "(1)
Dil fell backward and off the bridge.
He heard his a collection of voices yell 'Dil' and a second set gasp. He feel for about three seconds, until he felt a rush of cold water hit him in the face. Then blackness. Nothing.
(1) The line is taken from Metallica's "Fade to Black." Good song, check it out.
A/N: Well, I'll guess y'all will have to wait to see what happens next. You won't be waiting as long, trust me. Thx for reading, please review. Trav
