Author's note: This is the first time that I have ever uploaded two chapters in one day, I believe. I have decided to upload chapters for this story first because it takes place before my other story, Another Fourth of July!
Celrock, thank you for your suggestions, I used them in this chapter!
This will most likely be the last chapter of this story, so I hope that you like it!
Happy Birthday, Tommy!
Chapter Five
Not long after Zack had said those words did Didi and Stu realize that they were being ridiculous.
"I'm sorry everyone," Didi said. "Stu, you ordered the cake, right?"
"Yes," Stu said. "It's in the fridge."
Didi walked over to the fridge and got out the huge Reptar cake.
"Alright then, it's time for cake, everyone," Didi said. "Stu, could you get the kids?"
Stu, without responding, walked into the room, and found most of the Rugrats in their playpen.
"C'mon, kids, it's time for cake," Stu told them.
They all smiled, and Angelica began cheering, as they were walked into the room with cake. It seemed that Stu was so distracted that he didn't notice that the twins were gone. Well, not until Betty brought up the subject.
"Wait, where are the pups?" Betty asked.
After she said this, the other adults began to realize that she was right. Phil and Lil weren't in the room. Before any of them could frantically begin searching for the twins, Peter walked into the room, holding them both. Betty ran over to him and took her children, hugging them.
"Oh, thank you, sir, where'd ya find them?" she asked.
"They had been in the bathroom," Peter lied. "I found them there, joking around, when I went to the restroom. Thought that it would be best to deliver them back to you."
"As glad as I am to have gotten that behind our backs, it's time for us to eat cake," Didi said, presenting the Reptar cake.
Tommy stared at it with glee, as he had wanted a Reptar themed party, and a vanilla Reptar cake with chocolate frosting was all that a baby could ever want and need.
Stu sliced the large cake into halves, serving the babies first, Peter next, and lastly, he and the adults. They all ate quietly and enjoyed the cake.
Once they had all finished their slice, or slices of cake, they headed back into the room to play Pin the tail on the donkey.
Tommy, being the birthday boy, went first. He ended up pinning the tail on the donkey's eye, which made the adults and a few of his friends laugh.
They went on and on until it was the adult's turn. At this point, the Rugrats snuck out of the room to have a private discussion, with the adults not even noticing.
"Did you guys find the mask?" Zack whispered.
"Uh huh, and Peter helped us," Phil whispered.
"Peter sure is helpful," Lil said with a smile.
"Okay, now all that is finished, let's put on the masks and go scare them," Tommy whispered.
The other Rugrats quietly agreed and therefore, they put on the masks and hid, trying not to make any noise. Once they were sure that they were in the same room as Tony and Bert, they began grunting.
"Man, what is that?" Tony asked.
"I dunno, but it sure is scary," Bert whispered, beginning to shake.
"You think that they're tryin' to play a trick on us?" Tony asked. "You know, cuz you lost that kid's piñata?"
"Hey, you were there too, you could've reminded me," Bert whispered.
In hiding, the Rugrats whispered.
"Zack, I think your plan is working," Kimi whispered.
"Yeah, Kimi's right," Chuckie whispered. "They sure look ascared."
The babies didn't, however, know that the two men could hear their whispers, and that they thought it sounded like ones in horror movies such as Friday the thirteenth, which they had both seen as teenagers.
"Oh no, Tony," Bert whispered. "They're after us! C'mon, let's run!"
As the two adult men began running, even knocking down a few things, the adults had just finished up the last of Pin the tail on the donkey.
"Well, that sure was fun," Betty said. "Hey, I think the pups left again!"
Peter, feeling that he should, once again, lie for the Rugrats, said, "Oh, they're coming back in right now, don't worry."
Believing that a king could not tell a lie, the adults just nodded and walked into the room with presents. They were rather surprised when Tony and Bert actually managed to knock a few of them down.
"What are you guys doing?" Stu yelled.
The two turned around and began walking backwards. As they did this, Bert accidentally bumped into the largest present in the room – Peter's present.
This awakened Peter's present, which was, after Peter ordered one of his servants to unwrap it, was revealed to be a large Reptar doll, similar to the one that Stu had made when they went to Paris.
"Whoa," Tommy whispered, walking into the room. "Reptar."
The others too stared at it in delight, wishing for the king to possibly bring them something like that for their next birthday.
The adults, realizing that their children were in danger, scooped them up and ran off into a corner to hide. Before Peter headed off to go stop his robot, he turned around and apologized.
"I apologize for bringing such a huge gift into your home and for violating you guys," Peter said. "I did not expect anything like this to happen. There is, however, a button to make it smaller, and I can do that."
Before any of them could respond, Peter chased after the robot, and found its button, clicking on it. This made the Reptar robot a lot smaller… even smaller than the Rugrats themselves!
Peter, gasping, brought the small Reptar robot over to Tommy, allowing him to hold it.
"Try not to press the buttons," Peter said, gasping. "Otherwise he gets bigger."
Tommy was so happy that he couldn't even describe it. Running over to Peter, he, along with the other Rugrats and the adults, hugged the teenage king.
They all began complimenting him while he blushed and told them that it truly was no big deal, as he could do something like that anytime if he wanted.
Once they felt that they had gotten it past them, they began opening the other presents, beginning with Zack's. Zack, along with his Aunt Celeste, had bought him a telescope.
"It's for adventures," Zack told him. "And it folds up, too!"
Tommy smiled at Zack.
"Thanks Zack, and I thank your Aunt Celeste, too," Tommy said.
Zack smiled back.
Next was Chuckie's present, which was a blue teddy bear that looked similar in appearance to Chuckie's own bear, Wawa.
"Since I gots Wawa, and since Wawa is so good at keepin' me safe, I thought that maybe, during those very few times when you get ascared, and you needed something to hug, then you gots your blue teddy bear," Chuckie explained.
Tommy's smile hadn't faded, and he continued to smile at Chuckie.
"I like him already," Tommy said, squeezing his bear. "Does he gots a name?"
"Well, no, I was 'spectin' you to name him," Chuckie said.
"Well, lemme think of somethin'… hmmm…I want it to be real interestin'," Tommy said.
He thought of names that he had heard over the years, and the ones that he hadn't found to be absolutely boring.
"Hmm… you know what?" Tommy said. "I'm gonna name him Alphi."
"Alphi?" Angelica said, startled by the name. "That's the dumbest name I've ever heard, but if you wanna go with it, go ahead."
Tommy rolled his eyes and continued onto the other presents.
"Kimi's turn," Chaz said.
Kimi smiled as Tommy opened her present, which was revealed to be a Reptar sandbox set.
"I gotted you a sandbox set cuz we all know how much you like playin' in the sand," Kimi said.
"Thanks Kimi," Tommy said. "Really shows our friendship."
Phil and Lil had their presents opened next. They had bought Tommy a train set.
"It's huge"! Tommy said with a smile.
"Yep, and we sawed it on a commercial," Lil said.
"No, I sawed it on a commercial and then you walked in," Phil argued.
"Nuh uh Phillip!" Lil argued.
"Yeah too, Lillian!" Phil yelled.
The others just chuckled as they moved onto Angelica's present. As Tommy opened it, he was delighted to find a toy car, similar to the one that Chuckie had.
"Wow, Angelica, sometimes you're the bestest cousin ever!" Tommy said, hugging her.
"Oh please, Pickles, it was just something that I got from my mommy's job," Angelica told him matter-of-factly. "Nothin' special."
The last present that Tommy was given wasn't wrapped, although it was heartwarming nonetheless. This present was coming from his younger brother, Dil. Dil just giggled and reached into his jumper, giving Tommy a piece of paper. However, this wasn't just paper, it was a drawing on paper, of Dil and Tommy together. Tommy smiled largely while the adults "awed."
"Dilly, this, along with my birthday, is the bestest thing that a two-year old could ever ask for," Tommy said. "Guys, I'm real happy, and I gotta say that this has been my bestest birthday ever!"
"And this has been the bestest time of our lives," the babies replied.

So, that's the end of this story! I believe that this is the first time that I've ever completed a story that wasn't a one-shot. I hope you guys like this! I'm about to go on to upload two more chapters of Another Fourth of July, a story that will also be officially completed by tomorrow! After that, I'll move onto my other story ideas! The next one that I'm going to try to tackle has to do with the Rugrats challenge that I promised my friend, celrock. Celrock, if you're reading this, then I want to tell you that I am sorry for the delay on my Rugrats challenge. My internet has been rocky recently and my television set has been hogged by my parents, and I haven't been able to re-watch the Rugrats episode to actually complete the challenge. I will hopefully have it up either on the twelfth or thirteenth of this month, and I'll send you a private message once it's up.
