Author's Note: Well, I hardly got any reviews on that last chapter. I'm guessing I made you all tear up at the end of that last one, just like Chuckie did after narrating the video. I know I did, but no worries, things are gonna get better, and, it won't be long, until we get to witness the birth and infantile development, of my favoritest Rugrat of them all, so let's get on with the next chapter! And, as a reminder, at the beginning of the chapter after this one coming up, all answers to the trivia questions asked at the end of chapter 3, will be revealed, so, here's your last chance, to give me the answers in a review! For now though, enjoy chapter 9!
Chapter 9, New Fears and Didi Tries Again
After taking several minutes to calm down from the emotional part they just watched of the video, Peter and the other Rugrats, went into the kitchen to eat bowls of chocolate swirl ice cream before continuing. Once they were satisfied, they headed back into the living room to continue.
"Can I have another bowl?" Jesse asked.
"No, I'm afraid not. If you eat too much of that chocolate swirl ice cream, you'll be bouncing off the walls faster than Tigger!" Said Peter, as he took his seat back on the couch, and everybody else, congregated on the floor in front of the TV again.
"So, where were we?" Zack asked.
"Well, I still have more of this story to tell, so, I guess I'll continue then." Said Chuckie with a sigh, as he picked up the remote, and unpaused the video to continue his story.
Chuckie POV
After my mommy disappeardid, things started to change for me. My daddy took me to a circus, but the clowns scareded me so much, that we had to leave. And no Tommy, this circus took place before you were born, so I sadly, looked stupid crying all by myself. Then, I caught a glimps of the oatmeal box when daddy fed me breakfast one morning, and shivered at the guy on the front with the scary hat. Now that mommy wasn't here, nothing seemed safe. And that's not the worstest part. While mommy was gone, I felt very alone, with nobody to play with. Phil and Lil were always playing with each other, which made a lot of sense, since they were twins, and had one another to help them do things. I was there when they ate food for the firstest time. They were having so much fun, throwing the bananas at one another, putting them into their mouths, and spitting them out in one another's faces. They taught one another to crawl, and do everything else we young babies were learning about for the firstest time.
And if that wasn't enough, Angelica continued to be mean to us. She always had to have her way. She had to watch the TV, she had to have cookies on command, which I was the onliest one who could get them for her, and sometimes, I had to hope Spike would stay still, so I could stand on his back and reach the top shelf, a place that really looked scary to me, but it was either that, or be slapped by Angelica, who I wished would just, go away and leave us alone! So very much of the time, I sat in the corner of the playpen at Stu and Didi's, very lonely, with no one to play with. What I needed, was a friend to call my own, little did I know, that my wish would soon be coming true.
I founded out the firstest day I ever walked, or more so correctly speaking, I runned. Remember how I mentioned how clowns started to scare me after mommy disappeardid? Well, when a clown came down my street on a truck, it scaredid me so much, that I runned, till my daddy stopped me.
"Want an ice cream cone little guy?" My daddy asked, as we went towards the truck. Luckily, the phone rang at that exact moment.
"Uh Chuckie, daddy needs to go get that. We'll get an ice cream cone another time." Said my daddy, as we headed inside the house, and he picked up the phone.
"Hello?" My daddy said into the phone, as I sat on the floor, waiting quietly till my daddy was finished.
A few minutes of silence passed while daddy listened to the person on the other end.
"That's wonderful Didi! Oh I hope this pregnancy goes much better for you this time." Said my daddy with excitement.
A little while later, my daddy hung up the phone, and picked me up in his arms. He had a smile on his face, which means something exciting was about to happen.
"Guess what Chuckie? Your babysitter Didi, the nice lady I leave you with while I'm at work, is going to have a baby! You're gonna have another new friend to play with! Isn't that exciting?" My daddy asked, knowing I couldn't answer back, but I just smiled up at him about this, since that was the onliest way I could answer him.
And this did, make me happy. Would I finally be getting the friend I longed for?
End of Chuckie POV
At this point, Chuckie paused the video before continuing to speak.
"The answer to that question, was yes. And two years later, after receiving the happiest news me and my daddy had hearded in a great while, well me and Tommy are still bestest friends! And, I believe it's finally time for my bestest friend, to take over this story! Here you go Tommy." Said Chuckie, as he handed Tommy the remote.
"It would be my pleasure Chuckie." Said Tommy with a smile, but before he could unpause the video to continue, Peter intervened.
"Guys, I know you've been having fun throwing the remote to one another, and pausing this video after each little story, but do you realize that it's getting late, in fact, it's nearly 22:30 at night, and we've only gotten through thirdy minutes of this video?" Peter asked.
"Yeah yeah yeah, how long is thirty minutes?" Angelica asked.
"That's equal to one episode of Cynthia P.I." Explained Peter, hoping he explained it in terms that the four-year-old would understand.
"And how much longer is this video?" Zack asked.
"We have another two and a half hours to go on it." Replied Peter.
"How long is that?" Tommy asked.
"Uh, two and a half hours is the same as two Reptar movies or six episodes of the Dummi Bears." Replied Peter, in hopes the two-year-old purple haired happy boy, understood what he meant.
"Well, that's ok." Said Tommy.
"Maybe to you it is, and maybe I'm your babysitter tonight, while your parents and guardians are all attending an up all night casino and resort place in Akron, California that your grandpa Lou and grandpa Lulu won an up all night path to, but I'm anxious to get to the bonus section of this video, and it would be nice, to finish it up, before Good Morning America." Explained Peter.
"So what are we going to do then?" Jesse asked.
"Well, according to the back of the box the tape came in, everything between now and the bonus section, which is the last hour of the tape, has to do with Tommy's young infantilehood. So Tommy, since you've been so quiet, and attentive while all of your friends told their stories, do you think we can avoid pausing the video again, until we're up to the bonus section?" Peter asked.
"I'm ok with that. Follow me." Said Tommy, as he unpaused the video, to resume playback, and begin his story.
And Tommy's story, shall begin, in chapter 10.
