Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Rugrats or All Grown Up characters they are entirely the property of Klasky Csupo and Nickelodeon. If I did own them the episode Ladies Man would not have made past the introduction board.

Author's note: This take's place during the current season of All Grown Up It will be a C/A fan fiction but it will be following the traditional style of their relationship. At this point I'm not sure if their will be any romance or not, maybe the reviews will give me a clue on what to do.

Things were going like a usual day for the group with the exception of the fact that four of them were packing their things into a huge van and waving goodbye to the others.

"I really hope you guys enjoy your trip", said Chuckie as he hugged his best friend.

"Yeah, three weeks of summer fun in that new resort sounds like it's going to be fun," replied Susie standing beside Kimi.

"It will be two bad you guys aren't going, it's too bad that contest Mom and Mrs. Deville won only let them bring their immediate families along," Tommy said with a sigh.

"Yeah I kind of got use to us all going on family trips together," Lil exclaimed with a slight frown on her face.

" Now that you bring it up does anybody but me find it strange that our families almost always go on trips all together even on times when the families have no business tagging along. I mean according to Mom and Dad us and the other parents came along on their honeymoon," Chuckie said getting a curious look on his face.

"You should be glad they do if it weren't for one of those "joint" family trips are parents would never have met," Kimi pointed out.

"I know but still," Chuckie continued before he was cut off by Dil

"Hey where's Angelica," Dil observed looking around.

"Oh you know how she is, probably working on getting her summer tan early," Susie replied with a chuckle.

"Alright pups it's time to get in the van and get going," called Betty from inside. The friends said their goodbyes and parted ways for what would be the next three weeks.

"So what are you guys going to do for the first three weeks of summer when the others aren't around my parents are taking me on this trip to an old friend of theirs, they say he has his own amphitheater it's going to rock," Susie said in an exited voice.

"Oh were just going to stay with our parents for the first month, Dad says the family quality time will be good for us right Kimi," Chuckie turned to his sister only to find her looking strange.

"Hey Kimi you feeling okay you don't look so hot," he said giving his sister a puzzled look.

"I'm fine Chuckie I just need to rest that's it," she said then continued walking. Her brother however was not so sure but he would let the matter rest for now.

"Summer time fun is right around the corner the first thing I am going to do is hit the mall," Angelica said to no one in particular as she pranced around her room, this would be the first time she could enjoy a period of summer with out her little cousins and most of their annoying friends ruining it for her and she intended to enjoy it.

"I think I'll call up Savannah and see what she has planned," Angelica said as she began to pick up her cell phone only to see her mom in the doorway of her room giving her a suspicious look.

"Angelica were you over at Stu and Didi's to say goodbye to your cousin's? "Charlotte asked in an accusatory manner.

"Well with so many things to do I guess it must have slipped my mind you know how these things happen," Angelicas said as she looked nervous.

"How many times have I told you treat them better," her mother started getting into her scolding.

"Oh come on Mom so I didn't say goodbye, it's not like I'm never going to see them again," Angelica defended.

"That isn't the point young lady their still family and in a cutthroat world like this you have to always remember to stay in touch with those that are closest to and not let trivial things get in the way of," Charlotte was saying right before her own cell phone went off.

"Hold on let me get this," she said as she picked it up and walked out of her daughter's room to discuss business.

"That should take care of my problem for the rest of the day," Angelica said as she picked up her phone to call one of her friends.

"I told you Dad I'm fine," said Kimi as her father checked her forehead for the eight time.

"I just need to make sure Kimi, after Chuckie told me how you weren't looking so well I had to check up on you," Chaz said as he looked on with worry.

"Thanks a lot Chuckie," Kimi said in a hostile tone as she looked at her brother with venom in her eyes. Chuckie meanwhile was looking away rather nervously.

"I would still feel better if we had Lucy come over and give her professional opinion, Chaz said as he went over to the phone and began dialing the Carmichaels' number. Kimi meanwhile was giving her brother a very cold stare while Chuckie was grinning nervously. In a half hour Doctor Carmichael was inside their house and proceeded to examine Kimi.

"Well it's nothing serious but it appears Kimi has the mumps," Lucy said to the assembled family. Both the parents were concerned and at the same time relieved it was nothing serious.

"Wait a minute when someone gets the mumps don't their faces usually swell up likes a balloon?" Kimi asked inquisitively.

"Oh it will Kimi believe me but now it's just an early stage," Lucy said as she packed up her materials.

"Is their anything we can do Doctor Carmichael," Chaz asked worried.

"Well first of all you need to isolate her, the mumps are very contagious unless of course you've already had them, then your fine, I'll be back later with further instructions," She said as she prepared to leave.

"You and I have already had the mumps sweetheart so that won't be a problem but what about Chuckie?" Kira asked.

"Huh what about me?" asked Chuckie becoming concerned.

"Oh that's right he's never had the mumps before, it's the only thing he hasn't had," Chaz stated as he looked at his son.

"I haven't I could have sworn I caught them when I was six," Chuckie argued.

"Nope that was just poison ivy," Chaz said simply.

"Well what do we do Chaz, he can't stay here and most of the other parents are either gone on a trip or leaving for one," Kira stated.

"Well I guess that means he'll have to stay with….," Chaz began.

"Oh no, oh sweet God no!" Chuckie shouted.

Two hours later…….

"Finster is staying where!" Angelica shouted with equal volume.

"He's staying here for the time being until Kimi gets over the mumps," Charlotte explained to her daughter with Drew by her side.

"Why is he staying here though can't they put him in the kennel or something?" Angelica said bitterly earning her a cold stare from her parents.

"You know Angelica awhile ago when Chuckie stayed over you really liked having him here," Drew informed her.

"When was this?" Angelica asked suspiciously.

"You're probably too young to remember but when you were three Chuckie spent the afternoon over here and when his father came to pick him up you didn't want him to leave." Charlotte said.

"You practically begged us to let him spend the night, it was so cute," Drew said remembering the scene.

"That doesn't sound like me," Angelica said as she tried to remember the event in question but came up empty.

"Well be that as it may Chuckie is going to be staying here and we expect you to be nice to him," Charlotte told her daughter. It was just then that Chuckie came in with a suitcase and looked at the assembled Pickles family.

"Hello," He stated smiling nicely. Angelica looked at him bitterly it was going to be a long two weeks.
