Chapter 21: Journey To The Past

"Location: Modesto, California, July 17th 2034"

Back in the past, a girl named Camden Frumkin, who was the daughter of Angelica Pickles and Harold Frumkin, had just brought a girl named Zabria Cowhoon to Modesto's park. Upon arriving at the park, Camden spotted her other friends, who were the Rugrats children, as well as the Rugrats children from an alternate universe, sitting around a picnic table and playing a game of Uno. The children from the alternate universe had gotten stuck in this universe, so both groups had split up into the families that they were a part of in each universe and collected puzzle pieces for the portal, so they could be sent home.

"Looks like we're the last two to show up. Come on!" Camden ordered.

Camden dragged Zabria, who was the daughter of Angelica and a man named Brody Cowhoon in her universe, over to the rest of the group. As they approached the group, Zabria spotted her best friend, a girl named Patti Butler, who was the daughter of Susie Carmichael and a man named Shaun Butler in her universe.

"Hey, Patti!" Zabria greeted as she came up behind Patti.

Patti was caught off guard by Zabria.

"Hey! Watch it!" Patti shouted as she nearly dropped the Uno cards that she had in her hands.

Camden looked at everyone.

"So, are we all here?" Camden asked.

"Yep, and we all found our puzzle pieces." Adam Pickles, who was the son of Tommy Pickles and Lil Deville, replied.

"So, I guess it's time to go grab Zabria's little sister, so she can put the puzzle together and send you all back to your rightful universe, right?" Camden asked.

"Yep." Chris Butler, the brother of Patti and the son of Susie and Shaun in his universe, replied.

"But we're in the middle of a game!" Charles Finster, the son of Chuckie Finster and Nicole Boscarelli, cried.

"Okay, we'll finish this round, and the winner is the winner of the game." Darin Pickles, who was the son of Tommy and a woman named Silvia Weller in his universe, announced.

"Works for me." Melenda Finster, the daughter of Chuckie and Nicole in her universe, said.

Everyone continued playing their Uno game. But ten minutes later, there was the sound of large thuds. Everyone stopped their game and looked around.

"What is that?" Abigail, the daughter of Peter Zindow and Kimi Finster, asked.

Before the others could reply, a time portal appeared over by a sandbox.

"Um, guys, did any of you make another portal?" Abbie Wehrenberg, the daughter of Kimi and a man named Zack Wehrenberg in her universe, asked in slight fear.

"No." Danielle Deville, the adopted daughter of Phil Deville and Dil Pickles in her universe, replied.

The others said similar things. Abigail and George, the son of Peter and Kimi, started pulling everyone away.

"RUN!" George shouted.

Bob Christianson, the son of Susie and a man named Stephen Christianson, turned over the table and hid behind it as Adam, Charles, Rachel (the younger sister of Charles and the daughter of Chuckie and Nicole), Benjamin and Megan (the son and daughter of Phil Deville and Wally Ramone), Camden, Emily Pickles (the daughter of Dil Pickles and a woman named Wendy Sickles), Cassi Wehrenberg (the daughter of Zack and a woman named Regina Crowmaster), Darin Barrow (the son of a man named Jesse Barrow and a woman named Tiffany Shadowmark), Darin Pickles, Keenan (the son of Tommy and Silvia in his universe), Melenda, Abbie, Casey (the younger sister of Abbie and the daughter of Kimi and Zack in her universe), Kelly and Keith Barrow (the sons of Lil and Jesse in their universe), Zabria, Chris, Patti, and Rosemary (the daughter of Peter and a woman named Violet Cockrin in her universe) joined him. They peeked over to see something emerge from the time portal. It was the Forgotten racers, followed by Licortwist.

"Who are they?" Emily asked in confusion.

Rosemary shushed her and continued watching. Mark seemed to look around in displeasure before turning to Licortwist.

"Licortwist, are we in the right place? You said we were going to destroy Peter and Kimi, but I don't think we're in the right place." Mark asked.

Abigail, George, and Rosemary gasped, while the others looked surprised. Meanwhile, Licortwist looked down at a screen that had the time period's information before looking back up at the Forgotten racers.

"We're not staying. The city that Peter and Kimi live in isn't far away from here. I just set the coordinates for here because I thought it would be a good spot for us to start at." Licortwist replied.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Hannah ordered.

Licortwist got onto the licorice pieces, and then he grabbed the Forgotten racers with the licorice pieces. Once Licortwist and the Forgotten racers were ready, they left. As soon as they were gone, the two groups of children stood up from their hiding place.

"Who were those guys?" Kelly asked as he looked at the others.

Abigail shrugged.

"I don't know. But if they are trying to kill my parents, then we need to follow them and stop them." Abigail replied.

The others nodded, and they and Abigail started following Licortwist and the Forgotten racers.
