Chapter 19, The Rugrats Reunite
Tommy POV
My mommy, daddy, Spike, grandpa and I, moved out of where we were living, into this huge, new house! It had blue carpets and orange walls, and lots of room for exploring! There was even a backyard, and daddy set up a nice playpen for me to play in in the living room. But that wasn't the bestest part of all. Well, at first, things weren't so great. The firstest person other than my family who I sawed after we moved, was Angelica. She tolded me about this boy named Chuckie Finster, who steels toys, and they called him, the crusher. I couldn't believe this. Somebody? Steeling toys? And then, she tolded me about these twins, Phil and Lil, well, she started to tell me about them, but before she could finish, her daddy came and got her, and they had to leave.
The nextest day, my mommy and daddy had this huge party, welcoming us to the new place. When Chuckie picked up one of my toys, I got mad, and tolded him he was steeling my toys, but he tried to defend himself, and we all started quarreling. It wasn't until later, when I received some news from Phil and Lil, that things started to change. Unnoticed by me and Chuckie, Phil and Lil had lefted the playpen. When their mommy had putted them back in there, is when they gave me their big news.
"Tommy! Tommy! Tommy!" Shouted Lil.
"Angelica's head's stuck in the fence!" Shouted Phil in panic.
"And a big dog's gonna eat her!" Cried Lil.
Just then, Chuckie intervened before I could say anything.
"Don't listen to them. They'll just find another way to cut my hair off." Said Chuckie.
"You stay out of this toy steeler." I snapped.
"Or maybe you'd like a hold of these buttons, eh Button Eater?" Phil asked.
"Button eater." I said in disbelief.
"Don't try to fake us, we know you're a button eater." Said Lil.
"Or should we just turn you around so you can snap our diapers like Angelica said?" Phil asked.
"Angelica? Angelica said I eat buttons and snapped diapers?" I asked.
"Yeah that's right, she told us all about you." Said Phil.
"And you know what, Angelica told me you two were hair cutters and glasses stompers." Snapped Chuckie.
"We are not." Snapped Phil.
"Sounds kind of fun though." Lil said quietly, a hint of laughter in her voice.
"And you know what? Angelica told me you were a toy steeler." I said to Chuckie.
"What? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard." Replied Chuckie.
"So, let me get this straight. Angelica said you steel toys, but you don't." I said pointing to Chuckie.
"And she said you stomp glasses but you don't." I said pointing to Phil and Lil.
"And she said I eat buttons but I don't. Hey I think she was just making that stuff up." I said, coming to my conclusion.
"But why would Angelica make us all mad at each other?" Chuckie asked.
"Cuz she's mean?" Phil asked.
"Cuz she's nasty?" Lil asked.
"No, that's not it. It's cuz she wanted us to be friends!" I replied.
"Come again?" Chuckie asked.
"Don't you see? If we hadn't been fighting, we would have been playing instead. And then we would have gone outside with Angelica, and we'd have our heads stuck in the fence." I explained.
"Wow Tommy, if I ever got my head stuck in your fence I'd never wanna play here again!" Said Chuckie.
"See? Angelica made us fight just so we could be friends." I replied.
"How can we ever thank her?" Chuckie asked.
"I know, we can show her how well we play together." Said Lil.
"Yeah, that'll make her happy." Replied Chuckie.
"I've got an even better idea." I said.
"What's that Tommy?" Chuckie asked.
"Get her head out of that fence." I said, as I opened the lock on the playpen with my scudriver, and we headed out to the backyard, where we found Angelica's head stuck in the fence.
"Hey Angelica, it's us." I said.
"Babies? Is that you?" Angelica asked.
"Yeah, it is." I replied.
"Well pull me out, pull me out!" Angelica cried.
We all grabbed on to Angelica's legs, and pulled, until her head was no longer stuck in the fence.
"My head, I'm not stuck anymore. Oh thanks babies, thanks a lot." Said Angelica.
"Awe, we're the ones who should be thanking you." I replied.
"Huh? What for?" Angelica asked in confusion.
"Oh, we know what you did and we think you're great." Said Chuckie.
"What's wrong with you babies? Are your diapers on too tight?" Angelica asked.
"Heheha, and she's funny too." Said Phil, as we all gathered around Angelica, for a group hug.
"You know, for a bunch of stinky babies, you're not so bad after all." Said Angelica, smiling at us, as we continued to hug her.
End of Tommy POV
Just then,
Zack grabbed at the remote in Tommy's hand, and paused the video.
"Well wait you guys, I'm not finished." Said Tommy, who noticed the video was paused on the image of him, Phil, Lil, and Chuckie, all giving Angelica a group hug after the fence incident.
"Ok Angelica, I have a bone to pick with you. Your cousin and his friends saved your life, and you repay them by not only tricking them for the past, oh, one to two years now, but then, you go on to Youtube, and with Peter's help, you tell the world they don't exist? You ought to be ashamed of yourself!" Zack explained.
"You know what? Zack's right. Why did you do it? And I want to know the truth Angelica. We still have a ways to go on this video, but you've seen enough to know that we do indeed exist, so I want to know why you lied like that?" Tommy asked in a determined tone.
A few minutes of silence passed, before Angelica spoke up.
"You wanna know why? I'll tell you why. I did it, to seek revenge." Angelica replied.
"Revenge, for what?" Kimi asked.
"For Tommy giving me Amnesia." Replied Angelica.
"You remember that?" Jesse asked.
"Of course I do." Angelica replied.
"I was sick, I couldn't talk, and I didn't know what else to do. You guys had waked me up from my nappy and when I founded Angelica at the top of the stairs, hurting my friends, Zack and Jesse, I had to do something." Explained Tommy.
"Well, Jesse proceeded to finger paint my face in the middle of the night, and tried to trick me into thinking I was sick." Said Angelica.
"Because you got all of us roused up about the terribelest two's." Said Jesse.
Everybody continued to quarrel over who had done what to whom, until Peter, finally put a dstop to it.
"Quiet!" Peter shouted, causing the room to go completely silent.
"Let me just say, that I'm very disappointed in all of you. But mostly, I'm very disappointed in you Angelica. You're the reason all of this trouble has started. I'm sorry you had Amnesia, but thanks to Bobby Generic, you did get cured, and, maybe, if you hadn't been picking on the minis in the first place, all of this, could have been avoided. Hmmm?" Peter explained.
"Peter's right Angelica." Said Lil.
"That's right Angelica. You're four-years-old now. It's time you grow up and stop telling lies. And I mean it!" Protested Tommy.
"I couldn't have said it better my self." Added Zack.
Just then, Angelica started crying again.
"Crying's not gonna get you anything this time." Said Chuckie.
"Unless, aliums have invaded her brain or something." Said Dil.
"Uh Dil, I don't think now is the time to talk about that." Whispered Chuckie in Dil's ear.
"Look, it's getting late, we're all tired, why don't we get to bed, and we'll finish this video in the morning." Said Peter.
"How much is left on the video?" Tommy asked.
"We have one more part of the regular video, and then, we'll be up to the bonus section, but your parents aren't due back until tomorrow afternoon, and maybe, if we sleep on everything that's gone down today, maybe we can wake up tomorrow morning, and try to look at all that has happened, with a new perspective on the whole situation. Who knows, maybe Angelica will even apologize." Said Peter, as he stopped the tape where they left off, turned off the TV and VCR, rounded everybody up, and started leading everybody upstairs to Tommy and Dil's room, where they'd be sleeping.
"Apologize? Yeah right." Angelica muttered under her breath, as she brought up the end of the line.
And this, ends chapter 19. So, what will happen next? You'll have to wait, and find out, next time. And because I'm starting to grow tired, and would like to catch me a short nap before I must get up and head off to school, next time, may not be happening, for a few days. It will all depend on how my school work and all goes for me over the next three days or so.
Author's Notes: Ok, it's trivia time, once again. In this chapter, the flashback when the Rugrats reunited was an actual flashback that was taken from an actual Rugrats episode. Which episode was it and what season was it from? First person to answer these two questions correctly before we get to chapter 27 will get a shout out, and, the opportunity to extend our bonus section. That's right, is there anybody you'd like to learn more about their life prior to meeting the Rugrats? You get a choice of Kimi, Zack, Jesse, or Peter. You only get to pick one character, but hey, one character is better than none at all. So, please let me know what the answer to the above question is in a review, and then, PM me who you'd like to see explored in our bonus section, extending it, and this way, the readers can be in for a surprise, to see who's picked! For now though, this is Celrock, signing off, and hopefully, I'll be back with more chapters, sometime real soon!
