Moving Away

Chuckie frowned as he heard the end of Tommy's story. "That's not how we all met!"

"Yes it is," Tommy insisted, smiling. "Angelica is the reason we're friends!"

Phil though shook his head. "But Tommy, Lil and I knew Chuckie before that…"

~MC~MC~MC~

Chuckie whimpered. His mommy had taken him to the park and he was having a fun time riding around in his stroller… only then IT had shown up while his mommy stopped to talk to another lady with two babies of her own. The biggest, ugliest, scariest buggy he'd ever seen! It was so big… almost as large as his thumbnail! And he could tell that it was going to hurt him! He wiggled and whimpered, trying to get out of the stroller but the 6th month old was having problems-

"Mine!"

Chuckie blinked as the one baby, with a bow in her hair, grabbed the bug and made it disappear by popping it in her mouth! He sat there, amazed at what she'd done.

"Tank you!" He said, remembering his manners. "I'ms Chuckie!"

"Il!"

"Il!"

He frowned, trying to figure out those names…

~MC~MC~MC~

"Oh," Tommy said. "Well… uh… I met you Chuckie like I said."

"No you didn't Tommy…"

~MC~MC~MC~

Chuckie smiled as his daddy set him down. They'd come to a new house and he wanted to check it out; it seemed really safe and after that scare with the clown truck he wanted to know all the places he could hide-

He heard a giggle and turned to see a baby, much younger than him, set down his plushie and struggle to get up… and then manage to get to his feet and toddle over to him. "Hi!"

"Hi!"

"Fwiends?"

"Okay!"

~MC~MC~MC~

"Oh right!" Tommy said, scratching his little head. "I remember that. You're the reason I walked for the first time."

"And remember when you met us, Tommy?" Lil asked.

~MC~MC~MC~

The artillery shells exploded all around them and Tommy wiped the mud from his face. "They keep coming, Chuckie!"

"We're getting overrun!" Chuckie exclaimed as he tried to radio in for a napalm drop.

"You the captain?" another baby asked.

"I am!" Tommy said, giving a salute.

"I'm Major Phil, and this is Major Lil. We're to help you fall back."

"But we can't!" Tommy protested. "We won't have enough-"

A bomb exploded, sending them flying.

When Tommy came to he was on the ground, another soldier leaning over him.

"Spike… I can't feel my toesies."

Spike swallowed. "That's cuss they ain't there no more, Tommy." Sure enough Tommy's feet had been blown away, the nubs flailing. Then they were surrounded, enemy on all sides "Well… I guess we have to blast our way out!" Spike pulled out two handguns. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! DIE PIG DIE! YOU'LL NEVER TAKE SPIKE NOGETOFFTHECOUCH ALIVE!"

BANG!

"I SAW WHAT YOU DID TO MY FRIENDS!"

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

~MC~MC~MC~

"…I don't think that happened," Tommy said, confused.

"oh."
