Author's Note: Awoke today feeling a bit grumpy, so I'm hoping writing the next chapter of this story, will help me to calm down and feel better. Without further adue, let's have, the next chapter of this story!
Chapter 4, Ron
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're back, for the second of my two OC's to appear in this story at this time, Ron Breckenridge." Said Boris Yeltsin to the audience of toddlers and King Peter Albany of the Confederacy.
All of the toddlers and Peter clapped and cheered as Ron walked out on stage. He was slightly taller than Jake, with light blond hair, light green eyes, and he was wearing a plain red short sleeve t-shirt, dark blue jean shorts, and brown sandles. Ron took a seat in the red toddler chair on stage, while waiting for his interviewer to come out and sit across from him in the blue toddler sized chair.
"And now, interviewing Ron, will be none other than, Belinda." Said Boris Yeltsin, as a three-year-old girl with buttery blond hair, wearing an orange dress and blue sneakers, walked out on stage and sat in the chair across from Ron.
"Howdy!" Said Belinda with a smile.
"Howdy." Said Ron, as the two kids shook hands.
"I'm Belinda." Said Belinda.
"I'm Ron." Said Ron.
"Ok everybody, let the interview, begin!" Said Boris Yeltsin, as he moved off to stage left, making way for the two children to continue on with the interview.
"Ok, now, before we begin people, let me just say for the record, that I've already appeared in a story on celrock's account. If you haven't read the story, 'Not Too Young, Not Too Old,' I encourage you all to go check it out. However, while we're not suppose to reveal our secrets, let me just state here and now that when appearing in that story, I felt awkward, being brought on board as a Rugrats character, with little to no notice. You see, usually, before any OC's are brought on board to be in any of celrock's stories, we're all given private screenings of the series we might be appearing in, just to see if we're for sure, interested in being included in future stories, scheduled to appear exclusively on the Fan Fiction website. Well sadly, I was brought on board without an initial screening, so after making my appearance in that initial story, as they were desperate for a character back in April at the time of releasing that story, I've since gone and given myself my own screening of Rugrats, and I must admit babies, you guys have given today's young children, an excuse to stay up way past their bedtime, as your series airs at half past midnight on Tuesdays through Saturdays, if not later." Explained Ron.
"Oh wow, neat!" Said Tommy excitedly.
"I don't know, I don't really like staying up way past my bedtime." Said Chuckie.
"Yeah well, in today's world Chuckie, things are a lot different, but anyway, like I was saying, when catching Rugrats, to get a feel for what you guys were like before entering the wrelm of Fan Fiction, I would tune in on the night as of late when some popcickle stick by the name of Stick Stickly was hosting the block. He's been traveling across the country, and I guess, they've been themed episodes of shows each week." Said Ron.
"Like what episodes of our show did you see?" Lil asked.
"Well one week, when the theme was music, I saw Tommy try to get attention from his parents, by having Angelica try to teach him acting, how that episode had anything to do with music, is beyond me, and then, you guys started a band, and Chuckie sang about putting sand in his pants. It was so funny!" Said Ron, as he gave a little chuckle.
"Really? They didn't show the one when we were trying to teach Dil about music?" Tommy asked.
"Nope, as no such episode appeared that week. If that episode does indeed exist, sounds to me like it would have made a lot more sense to have shown that one, but what do I know. They had the Fan Fiction authors voting on Facebook for what would appear during one of the half hour blocks, but the episodes of the show weren't picked by them. I think that popcickle stick picked them out, and he was created by Nickelodeon or something, not these lovely authors out here. Had you guys created him, I know you guys would have made sure all episodes of all shows fit the theme for that week. But anyway, then another week, I saw Tommy's mom participate on some game show, and Tommy, you set out to help her find her place in the sun. Very appropriately chosen for their game show theme, even though they showed three other episodes of your series that totally didn't fit." Said Ron.
"Well what else did they show?" Tommy asked.
"And was I in any of the episodes?" Belinda asked.
"Nope. Let's see, Tommy, you and Angelica discovered some toys in grandpa Boris and grandma Minca's attic in one episode, in another episode, Tommy, you were the man of the house, having to take care of Dil and make him a toy, and in the last one, you wanted your dad to be different so he'd play with you and your brother. Sadly though Belinda, if it's true, you're here to interview me, because you appeared in an episode of Rugrats, they never showed it on Stick Stickly's Summer Down Adventure, so, mind explaining to me how you met the Rugrats?" Ron asked.
"Sure! Well, I met Tommy and Chuckie nearly two years ago at the playground. When we met, I warned them about the Junk Food kid, who was by far, the meanest toddler around. Of course, Tommy wasn't afraid, so we stayed out and played, only for the junk food kid to come along, and spit bubble gum into my hair. It's not noticeable now, as it's been two years, allowing most of my hair to grow back, but my mommy had to cut off most of my hair after that incident, and to make a long story short, the next day, Tommy stood up to that kid, and she hasn't picked on us ever since." Explained Belinda.
"Well that's good. Well, in the story where I meet the gang, I'm on the teeball league with their friend, Bobby Generic, who lives next-door to Susie Carmichael at the time, though because my family and I have been good friends with the Carmichaels for years, it's Susie who introduces me to the rugrats. If anything, I've known Susie since I was six-years-old, and have been known to babysit her a lot." Said Ron.
"How old are you now?" Belinda asked.
"Eight-years-old." Ron replied.
"So do you live in the same neighborhood as the rugrats?" Belinda asked.
"Yep, I live just a few houses down from where Susie lives in fact." Ron replied.
"What is your family like?" Belinda asked.
"Well, my mom, Ashley, is a lawyer, and my dad, John, writes spy novels." Said Ron.
"Cool! Besides playing teeball, what else do you like to do?" Belinda asked.
"I like watching TV and movies, listening to music, reading, and helping to babysit the little kids around the neighborhood." Said Ron.
"What do you hope to do when you're older?" Belinda asked.
"I'd love to be a professional baseball player, and play for one of the big leagues, like the Redsocks or the Yankees. Being able to make money by playing sports, baseball in particular, sounds really neat!" Said Ron with a huge grin on his face.
"Cool! Recently, I started taking ballet classes, and someday, I'd like to be a famous dancer." Said Belinda.
"Good luck with that." Said Ron.
"Thank you." Said Belinda.
"Well Belinda, I believe your time is up, but thank you for coming out today to interview Ron." Said Boris Yeltsin.
"You're welcome." Said Belinda.
"Say, is it possible for me to find you in any current, or future Fan Fic stories?" Ron asked, as Belinda stood up from her chair, about ready to walk off stage, where her mom would be meeting up with her back stage to take her home.
"Can't say that I have. Seems we one-shot characters that only appear in an episode of Rugrats, also don't appear much on Fan Fiction. I sure hope that changes down the road though, I miss getting to hang out with the rugrats, and I enjoyed getting to meet Tommy, that tough omlet when we metted. And from what I see out in the audience, not only have Tommy and Chuckie aged quite nicely since we last sawed each other, but there's several peoples I haven't metted." Said Belinda.
"Well, besides Tommy and Chuckie, there's Tommy's little brother Dil, Chuckie's little sister Kimi, their twin friends, Phil and Lil, Tommy's cousin Angelica, my friend Susie, who introduced me to the gang, Jesse, an OC owned by fan fic author, Jesse Barrow Stories, Zack, an OC owned by fan fic author Celrock, and that tall guy on the end over there is King Peter Albany of the Confederacy, an OC owned by fan fic author, TCKing12." Said Ron, as he pointed to each of the characters down in the seats in the audience, when naming them off to Belinda.
"Nice to meet all of you!" Said Belinda with a smile, as all of the toddlers and OC's, smiled and nodded back.
"Well, I'd better be going, bye for now, and I hope we'll meet again sometime." Said Belinda, as she turned and walked off stage.
"Bye." Said Ron, as he turned towards back stage, and waved.
"Ok, each one of you has an opportunity to ask Ron one question, and Jesse, please do me a favor, and ask a real question this time, not the question you keep asking with regards to your current ongoing story of your author's, 'Three and Up?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Ok, I'll go firstest then. If you could play another sport besides teeball or baseball, which sport would you wanna play?" Jesse asked.
"Hmmm, that's a tough one, as there's so many good ones! But if I could only pick one other sport, I think I'd have to pick basketball. Not only does it sound like fun, but it's a sport that can be played both, indoors and outdoors, making it available to play all year long! Teeball sadly, is only played around here during the summer months, making the winters kind of boring." Said Ron.
"What's your favoritest TV show?" Kimi asked.
"Well, I like Nigel Thornberry's Animal World, and I enjoy watching the baseball games on TV." Ron replied.
"Since you're eight-years-old, what grade does that put you in when going to school?" Zack asked.
"I'll be entering the third grade in the fall." Ron replied.
"What's your favoritest kind of sandwich? Mine's gfried bologna sandwiches." Chuckie asked.
"Mmmm, sounds delicious! My personal favorite sandwich would have to be a ham and swis cheese sandwich. And yes, in the winter time, I enjoy them hot, with the cheese all melted, Mmmm." Ron replied.
"You said you like to read. What's your favoritest book?" Phil asked.
"Hmmm, I have lots of favorite books, but recently, I've been checking out the Harry Potter series. I've only read the first book so far, but it was really good, so hope to read the other six books, at some point in the near future." Ron replied.
"Do you have any pets?" Lil asked.
"Nope, I wish I could get a pet snake though, but my mom won't let me. She says a snake would be too dangerous. I tried to reason with her that they'd make fine pets, but she wouldn't buy it." Said Ron with a frown.
"Awe, don't feel bad, you can always come over and play with my doggies Spike and Spikfi." Said Tommy with a grin.
"Awe, g thanks Tommy, that's awfully nice of you." Said Ron.
"Hey Ron, what's your favoritest color?" Dil asked.
"My favorite color is green." Ron replied.
"Do you gots any brothers and sisters?" Tommy asked.
"Nope." Ron replied.
"What kind of music do you like?" Susie asked.
"I like heavy metal music." Ron replied.
"What's that?" Lil asked.
"Uh, the type of music that Ron likes, heavy metal music, is kind of like the music Taffy performs with her band, only much louder, and for me personally, it hurts my ears." Said Peter.
"Who's Taffy?" Ron asked.
"The babysitter that takes my place when I'm not around." Peter replied.
"Oh." Said Ron.
"So Ron, why do you like to hang around a bunch of dumb babies anyway?" Angelica asked.
"Angelica, that wasn't very nice. You may think they're dumb, but I just happen to think they're silly and goofy. After all, they're younger than us, and still learning about the world around them. I also happen to think you guys are really cute. And after seeing you guys on TV late at night, and seeing you out in the audience, aged by at least a year or two, I must say, you're still just as cute, even a year older than you were on your TV series." Said Ron with a smile.
"Thanks!" Said Tommy.
"So Ron, seeing I haven't had a chance to ask any of the OC's any questions up to this point, because we'd always run out of time before I had an opportunity to ask a question, I have to ask you, have you always lived in Yucaipa, California? Or did you live elsewhere before you moved here two years ago when you were six-years-old." Peter asked.
"My family and I use to live in the state of Kentucky. That's where I was born." Ron replied.
"Well, that explains the thick accent then." Said Peter.
"You'd be correct." Ron replied.
"Well Ron, that's all the time we have for you today, and if I recall, don't you have teeball practice in half an hour?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"What time is it?" Ron asked.
Boris Yeltsin felt his Braille watch before replying.
"It's now three thirty." Boris Yeltsin replied.
"Oh my gosh! You're right! I need to go! Well, it was great getting to talk to you all, and, provided Boris Yeltsin is ok with it, be looking for me in future Fan Fic stories around the Rugrats All Grown Up fandom." Said Ron, as he stood up from his seat, and started walking off of the stage.
"Bye." Said all of the toddlers and Peter in unison, as Ron disappeared back stage.
"Bye." Ron said from off stage, before heading out to catch his ride to go to practice.
"I've gots a question Boris." Said Tommy.
"Sure Tommy, what is it?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Ron was talking about some kind of screening, where they watch our show before being brought on board as a character. What is that?" Tommy asked.
"I'll explain, as I did it before I was introduced in that Gray Plague story. They have all of us OC's sit in a room that looks like a movie theater, and on the big screen in front of us, they give us a marathon of the Rugrats TV show, airing several episodes in no particular order, giving us a glimpse of all episodes. Some featured you as an only child, while others featured your brother Dil, and others, featured Kimi, as well as the rest of you guys." Said Zack.
"And let me add to that, that these marathons would usually run about four to six hours, and by the end, we'd be so filled up on popcorn and other assorted snacks, we'd go home with a stomach ache, but pleased to get to know some great characters as wonderful as you guys, eager to work with all of you on Fan Fiction." Said Peter.
"But Peter, you've knowed us since, well, uh, since that game show thing." Said Chuckie.
"You're right, but they've had me help put together the screenings in recent years, because I was around during your show's original run, from the end of season two onward." Said Peter.
"Oh." Said all of the toddlers in unison.
"Ok everyone, let's see." Said Boris Yeltsin, as he started running his fingers over some Braille on an index card he pulled out of his pocket.
"So, how many more OC's do we have left to meet?" Peter asked.
"Four." Boris Yeltsin replied.
"Who are they?" Tommy asked.
"Let's see. Well, this is my final appearance, as Celrock will be returning for the remaining four chapters of this story, as the rest of the OC's belong to her, and for the next three chapters at least, she'll be heading to Boston, where Rosie and Mary, owned by Nairobi-harper, Hazel and Hanna, owned by HazelNutSwirl, Aaron, owned by Sean-darin, and Courtney, owned by Tropical Blue Jey, will be the audience members." Said Boris Yeltsin.
"Why is that happening?" Chuckie asked.
"Well, for one thing, one of the OC's, Reggie, you guys already know pretty well, plus, he lives in Boston, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to fly him here, and the other two OC's on the program, Silvia Weller and Violet Cockrin, are OC's you guys won't meet until you're much older. If we had you guys meet them now as toddlers, it could possibly mess up the time space continuium, which could spell disaster if we're not careful." Explained Boris Yeltsin.
"Will we get to ask questions to any other OC's?" Zack asked.
"Yep, Celrock will be returning to this stage, for the final OC to make an appearance, Gloria, who's the little sister of Prudence, or as Belinda called her, the Junk Food Kid." Boris Yeltsin replied.
"So what's the order at this point?" Peter asked.
"Let's see. The next one is Silvia Weller, who will be interviewed by Shaboo, from the episode, 'Heat Wave,' then Violet, who will be interviewed by Samantha, from the episode, 'Opposites Attract,' and Reggie and Gloria, it says here, reviewer's choice." Said Boris Yeltsin, as he read off the index card in his hand.
"What does reviewer's choice mean?" Tommy asked.
"I think I know what it means. For Reggie and Gloria's interviews, the reviewers of this story, get to pick who interviews them?" Peter asked.
"That's correct." Replied Boris Yeltsin.
"So, who are the runner ups for interviewers?" Peter asked.
"Let's see. I believe the reviewers get to vote on the following candidates to interview Reggie and Gloria. Will it be, Megan from, 'Cradle Attractions,' Josh from, 'New Kid in Town,' Big Binky from, 'He Saw, She Saw,' Big Justin from, 'The Big House,' or Timmy Mcnulty from 'The Lympics,' 'A Very Mcnulty Birthday,' 'Fugitive Tommy,' and 'Wash Dry Story'?" Boris Yeltsin asked.
"Oh, I get it, between now and the chapters when Reggie and Gloria are presented, people can state in the reviews which character should interview which OC, and the most votes wins." Said Zack.
"That is correct. Oh yeah, and one more thing. The character who interviews Reggie, can't return to interview Gloria. So for example, if Megan is picked to interview Reggie, she's eliminated from interviewing Gloria, leaving only Josh, Big Binky, Big Justin, or Timmy Mcnulty as the runner ups for interviewing her." Boris Yeltsin replied.
"But wait, don't those characters interviewing the OC's live around here? How are we getting them to Boston?" Peter asked.
"You already know how we're getting these one-shot characters to Boston for this once in a lifetime event. You're providing first class accomodations on your private jet to these characters, which reminds me. You need to see to heading back to your castle and getting ready, as they want to do Silvia's interview tomorrow." Said Boris Yeltsin.
"Oh my, that's right! I got so caught up in these interviews, I completely lost track of time! How terrible of me!" Said Peter.
"No sweat, it happens. Anyway, it's time for you to round up the kids so we can get everyone home, and I can see to heading home, and handing things back over to Celrock come the next chapter. I had a lot of fun filling in for you Celrock on these last two chapters, and I hope I can do it again sometime." Said Boris Yeltsin, as he took a bow, and headed off stage, at which time, a golden curtin closed, as everyone in the audience clapped and cheered, and the screen, faded to black.
And this, ends chapter 3. Come back for the next chapter, when we meet up with Celrock in Boston, where Silvia is interviewed by Shaboo.
Author's Note: Well, after writing up this chapter, I'm feeling much better, so hopefully, if any of my fans awoke in grumpy moods today, reading this, helped you to feel better too.
