It was a beautiful sunny day in Yucaipa, California as Lou and Lulu were babysitting the kids at the Pickles residence.

"Well, all the little sprouts are all out back having fun" said Lou.

"Splendid" replied Lulu. "After the kids have lunch, we will take them to the park to play, then we will take them to see the new Reptar movie that just came out and we will treat them to an ice cream sundae" she said.

"Gotcha" replied Lou as he went to his rocking chair and soon nodded off to sleep.

Meanwhile, out in the backyard the Rugrats, Angelica, Susie and Zoey were having fun with one another.

"Hey Phillip let's play mud peoples" said Lil.

"You got it Lillian" replied Phil.

"Hey Jesse and Chuckie" called Tommy. "Let's play with my new Super Duper Reptar Ball" he said as he showed them his new ball.

"Wow that's cool" replied Jesse.

"Where did you get the new ball Tommy" asked Chuckie.

"Angelica got it for me as a surprise before she left for home from that potluck dinner" replied Tommy.

"That was real nice of her to do that, specially after what happened to the last ball before going on that cruise" said Chuckie.

"I'm glad Angelica is cool to hangout with now" added Jesse.

"Me too" replied Tommy as he started to pass the ball to his friends.

"Hey Dil" said Savannah. "Wanna do cartwheels" she asked.

"Sure" replied Dil. "If my big brother can do cartwheels, then so can we" he added as they started doing cartwheels.

"Hey Kimi" said Zack. "I'm making a little sand castle, wanna help me" he asked.

"Uh-huh, it will be the cutest sand castle we'll makes" replied Kimi as she and Zack got to work.

"Hey girls" said Angelica. "Let's take turns jumping rope one at a time since this rope is a bit long" she said.

"Yeah" replied Susie and Zoey in unison.

As they started turning the rope on both ends, Zoey got to have the first turn.

"My Zoey you're real good at this" said Susie.

"Yeah, a regular chip off the old block" added Angelica.

"Thanks" replied Zoey. "You know, I'm glad I met you all on that cruise and that we're great friends" she said.

"So are we" replied Angelica and Susie in unison.

"Hey Angelica" asked Susie. "I know we don't have to worry about your evil cousin Anthony anymore, but what do you suppose he's doing now" Susie wondered.

"Oh, he's probably at home in his room sulking and green with envy since we all stopped him" replied Angelica.

Meanwhile, way over on the East Coast of the continent in Boston, Massachusetts at Charlotte's apartment, things weren't looking too great for Charlotte, her brother William and Anthony as they sulked about their misfortunes.

"I can't believe that I Charlotte Pickles am no longer the dominant business woman that I once was, things were great until those darn Communists ruined my business, my career, not to mention my dignity" complained Charlotte.

"I know how you feel dear sister" said William. "I blame those blasted Communists too for taking my career and my wealth away, but at least we have each other" he said.

"Oh I know, but you know what I will rise and become dominant again in the business world and as soon as an opportunity comes up, I'm going to snag it and nothing is going to stand in my way" said Charlotte.

"Atta girl" replied William. "And I blame that guy Peter who ruined the United States by declaring the Confederacy's independence still and I'm glad we're not living anywhere near him" William thought to himself.

Meanwhile, upstairs Anthony was weeping over his recently failed plan after the Sea-Wise-Odyssey cruise ended.

"I am so green with envy, my ingenious, sneaky, devious, underhanded scheme ruined by my stupid cousin and her stupid baby friends" complained Anthony. "How could a big bully like me let my plan fall apart. WHY, WHY, WHY" he asked Himself "I should have finished Angelica off when the opportunity was present, but NO, I greatly underestimated the power of those small pathetic goody goody babies" Anthony complained. "I had Angelica right where I really wanted her, but those stupid wretched babies had to ruin everything for me when I was on a role" he said. "I wished I did this alone, I wish I didn't help those stupid babies change Angelica into a nice goody goody kid" he complained. "Now I will never get an opportunity like that again" he said.

Anthony just sobbed as he was green with envy. Meanwhile, back on the West Coast of the continent in Yucaipa, California the Rugrats, Angelica, Susie and Zoey were still having fun when Lulu called them in for lunch.

"Kids it time for lunch" said Lulu.

Soon everyone was in the kitchen having lunch.

"After lunch is finished we'll go to the park, then go to the drive-in movie to see the New Reptar movie and we'll stop at an ice-cream parlor for an ice cream sundae" said Lulu.

"Yay" cheered all the kids in unison.

The cheering of the kids was loud enough to awake Lou up from his sleep.

"Jumping Josephette, the little sprouts must be eager to get out of the house to do those activities Lulu promised" said Lou as he headed for the kitchen.

Eventually all the kids had completed lunch and were in the car ready to go.

"Alright Sprouts, first stop the playground" announced Lou.

"Yeah" shouted the kids in unison as they pulled out of the driveway and headed for the park.

Soon everyone arrived at the park and the kids ran to play.

"Hey girls" said Angelica. "Wanna run a race" she asked.

"You're on" replied Susie and Zoey in unison as they started running.

"Hey guys" said Tommy. "Lets spin around on the roundabout" he said.

"Yeah" replied Zack and Jesse In unison as they started spinning around.

"Hey Chuckie" said Kimi. "Lets play on the Jungle gym" she said.

"Sure" replied Chuckie as they started to play.

"Hey Lillian" called Phil. "Looks at this pile of worms" he said.

"Quick let's grabs em for dessert" said Lil as they started to grab as many worms as they could.

"Hey Dil" asked Savannah. "Let's you and me make a sand sculpture of Goober the Gopher" she said.

"You bet" replied Dil as they got to work.

"You know Dil, we all sure have been taking it easy since Angelica has been going straight on being good" said Savannah.

"Yeah" replied Dil. "And if you ask me, I bet her evil yucky cousin Anthony is probably at home crying and feeling very defeated since a bunch of smart babies likes me and my friends that were on the cruise stopped him" he said.

Savannah nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, at the Collins residence in Boston, Anthony was still weeping in his room.

"It is so not fair, I worked so hard trying to finish off my stupid cousin, I totally wasted my time enlisting stupid babies to help" complained Anthony. "NEVER get gullible kids to help with the dirty work, you never know when they might turn traitor on you when you're ahead" he said. "I was a fool to try and get those stupid babies to turn completely against Angelica and I never expected my stupid cousin to be that tough when she kicked my butt" wined Anthony.

Meanwhile, back at the park in Yucaipa, California the kids were having a good time as Lou and Lulu were getting ready to take the kids to the drive-in movie theatre to see the new Reptar movie as the sun was setting.

"Sprouts" called Lou. "Time to go see the new Reptar movie at the drive-in" he said.

Yay" cheered all the kids in unison.

As everyone headed for the car the kids were discussing movie drive-in's.

"Hey does anyone know what a parking lot movie is" asked Savannah.

"It's called a drive-in, it's where you can watch movies in your car" said Angelica.

"Yep" replied Susie.

"The lastest time we went to one before we went to Paris, most of us watched a different Reptar movie and almost everybody believed Reptar turned naughty" said Tommy.

"Yeah, and even though I was ascared to go, I went along with them and we all gotted sucked into the movie to find out what was the matter with Reptar" replied Chuckie.

"Yep and soon we finded out that the Reptar that was being naughty was a robot" said Phil.

"Yeah, and we finded out who was behind it too" added Lil.

"Who was it" asked Jesse.

"Angelica" replied Tommy.

"That doesn't surprise me" Zack thought to himself.

"Anyway" said Susie. "Me and the babies put a stop to that plan on tarnishing Reptar's good name" said Susie.

"Sound's like you guys had a cool adventure there" replied Zoey.

"Yeah, though I'm sorry I was still a baby-baby then when me and my friends went" said Dil.

"That's okay, acause I'm sure you'll members more things since you're a year older now" replied Kimi.

The others nodded in agreement as they headed for the drive-in with minutes to spare as night fell.

"Few" exclaimed Lou. "We made it" he said.

"I knew we would" added Lulu.

"Yay" cheered the kids in unison.

Moments later the new Reptar movie started as all the kids watched with awe. Meanwhile, at the Collins residence Anthony was still fuming.

"Arrrrrrrgh, I should have just poured my time and energy into myself instead of those stupid goody goody babies. I could have won" grumbled Anthony. "And I bet that little snot and her stupid friends are having a stinkin good time together" he said. "But it doesn't matter now because I can't finish off my cousin from here anyway" complained Anthony.

Just then William called Anthony down for dinner.

"Anthony dinner's ready" called William.

"I'm coming, I'm coming" grumbled Anthony. "Maybe I can drown out my sorrow with food" he said.

Soon Anthony was downstairs having dinner with his dad and his sister Charlotte.

"You okay son" asked William.

"Yeah, I'm fine" replied Anthony.

"I know our cruise was cut short on account of the monster wave, and that we couldn't afford to move to Yucaipa, but at least be happy you got to see your cousin Angelica during the short time on our vacation and that we still have a roof over our head here in Boston" said William.

"Oh I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'm glad I had an opportunity to see Angelica even if it was a short time" said Anthony. "NOT" he thought to himself.

"That's good" replied William as they ate their dinner while Charlotte said nothing at all.

Meanwhile, back in Yucaipa, California the new Reptar movie had ended and Lou and Lulu were taking the kids to the ice cream parlor for a sundae before heading home.

"Last stop, the ice cream parlor" said Lou.

"Yay" cheered all the kids in unison.

Soon all the kids were enjoying the ice cream sundae.

"Guys this has been the funnest day eber" said Tommy.

"Yep, especially when you get to end the day with a yummy ice cream sundae" replied Angelica.

"Yeah it's yummy" added Susie and Zoey in unison.

"We sure had lots of fun things to do today" said Dil.

"Yeah and Angelica's bullying was nonexistent too" added Savannah.

"We're sure to haves more days likes this" said Chuckie.

"Uh-huh, we're all taking it real easy since that cruise" replied Kimi.

"Oh yeah, we're cool" added Phil and Lil in unison.

"No complaints here, I'm happy we won't have to worry about your evil cousin Anthony Angelica" said Jesse.

"True, but it wouldn't hurt to keep a close eye on Angelica while being cool with her like everyone else is though" Zack thought to himself.

"Yep and you know something" said Angelica.

"What" asked the others in unison.

"After the cruise ended, I knew my life would never be the same again after everything that happened on that trip and for the better" said Angelica.

All the kids nodded in agreement as they continued to eat the ice cream sundae. Eventually they finished and Lou and Lulu got everyone settled in the car.

"Did you sprouts have fun today" asked Lou.

All the kids nodded yes.

"Wonderful" replied Lulu.

"Well, let's get you all back to Stu and Didi's place as your parents are likely waiting on us" said Lou.

Soon they were on the road headed for the house as all the kids drifted off to sleep after their fun filled day.
