Author's note: I wish to thank fanfiction author Boris Yeltsin for his insight and assistance with this.

It was a nice early evening in Yucaipa, California at the residence of Prudence, Gloria and their mother. They had just gotten home from picking up Gloria from the Golden Apple Daycare. Their mother was getting dinner prepared for her daughters. Meanwhile, Prudence and Gloria were in the living room relaxing in front of the TV.

"How was daycare today, Gloria?" asked Prudence.

"Boring!" retorted Gloria.

"Well Gloria, you kinda had it coming" replied Prudence.

"Oh yeah?" said Gloria.

"Yeah. You don't see me acting totally crazy over not having things my way, do you?" asked Prudence.

"Like those other kids you are friends with, you're a miss goody goody two shoes that never gets in trouble" retorted Gloria.

"Maybe it's because you always gotta bully people for no reason at all!" said a spent Prudence.

"Yeah, yeah so I've heared (heard)" retorted Gloria.

Prudence just sighed and shook her head. At that moment, their mother summoned them to dinner and the girls headed for the dinner table.

"Enjoy you two" said Prudence's Mom.

As the girls ate their dinner, Prudence noticed that Gloria had something on her mind as she was fiddling with her food.

"You're not thinking of getting rebenge (revenge) again, are you? Because if you are, I'll tell mommy and my friends" warned Prudence.

"So, what!" retorted Gloria.

Prudence just sighed as she continued eating. Gloria on the other hand was too busy thinking about trying to plot against the Rugrats. Gloria was thinking so hard that she inadvertently gave herself a headache. The one-year-old screamed at the top of her lungs. Her scream was loud enough to catch their mother's attention.

"What's going on here?" asked Prudence's Mom.

"I think Gloria gots a headache mommy" replied Prudence.

"Hmmm, I have just the medicine for that" said Prudence's Mom.

Prudence's Mom picked up a still screaming Gloria as she placed her down on the kitchen counter as she looked for Children's Tylenol.

"Here sweetie, a spoonful of this medicine and some rest will make you feel better" said Prudence's Mom.

Gloria shook her head "no" and resisted the medicine until an idea flew into Prudence's head as she snuck up on Gloria and tickled her sides with her fingers. Gloria started to chuckle. Prudence's Mom picked up on it and managed to get the spoonful of medicine into Gloria's mouth. Much to Gloria's chagrin.

"You'll feel better now that you've had your medicine" Prudence whispered into Gloria's ear.

Gloria just wore an angry look on her face as she looked the other way as Prudence sighed.

"I think she needs an early night Prudence after that tantrum" said Prudence's Mom.

"Sure mommy" replied Prudence.

Prudence's Mom saw to getting her daughters their bath before bedtime. After bath time was done, the girls were in their pajamas and in their beds.

"Goodnight you two and pleasant dreams" said Prudence's Mom.

"Night night mommy" replied Prudence.

Gloria on the other hand just curled up under her blanket and turned the other way as Prudence and their mother sighed.

"Hope you feel better in the morning honey" said Prudence's Mom softly.

Prudence's Mom then turned the lights out and headed off to bed herself, but not before leaving the door cracked in case Gloria needed a diaper change in the middle of the night or if Prudence needed to use the bathroom. The next morning, the sun was just beginning to come up over the horizon as Gloria was the first to wake up. Her headache had pretty much diminished, but she was feeling rather mischievous.

"Hmmm, little miss sleeping beauty is still asleep, eh?" said Gloria quietly. "Well, I can fix that" she snickered.

Gloria then crawled downstairs to the kitchen and found some pots and pans beneath the kitchen sink. And she used a toddler sized stool to grab some utensils. Once she did, she started banging loudly on the pots and pans as if she was playing in a band and screamed at the top of her lungs. Gloria's loud playing got her sister and their mother's attention as they were awakened from their sleep and ran downstairs to see what the commotion was about.

"Gloria!" exclaimed Prudence's mom.

Gloria just grinned as her sister and her mom eyed the mess around the kitchen and sighed.

"Gloria, it's nice that you're using your imagination, but you can't disturb people from their sleep so early in the morning okay honey" said Prudence's mom in a firm tone of voice.

Prudence's Mom saw to getting the pots, pans and utensils off the floor and cleaned up before preparing breakfast. Meanwhile, Gloria and Prudence kept out of the way in the living room.

"What was all the noise for so early in the morning for Gloria?" asked Prudence as she was a bit groggily.

"Oh I don't know. I guess I wanted to gets an early start. And what better way to start the day with music" replied Gloria cheekily.

Prudence was a bit apprehensive at her sister's reasoning, but since she was still waking up and hadn't eaten breakfast yet, she put the subject on the back burner for the time being.

"Well, it is early. Maybe after breakfast you'll feel better. Especially after you gave yourself a headache last night and had a tantrum," said Prudence.

At that moment, Prudence's Mom called her daughters to breakfast.

As they ate breakfast, Gloria found hers yummy. So yummy in fact that she stuffed her face, played and threw her bowl of food, much to their mother's irritation and Prudence's confusion.

"It seems like Gloria is just full of pep mommy," said Prudence.

"That's a big maybe Prudence" replied Prudence's Mom.

Prudence's Mom moved Gloria down from her highchair as she saw to cleaning the kitchen table. While she was doing so, Prudence finally decided to find out what was going on with Gloria.

"Hey Gloria" Prudence began. "You sure have been acting strange since last night. Are you really, okay?"

Gloria cheekily nodded. Then she felt an itch coming from her bottom.

"Ooooh, I feel kinda itchy coming from my bottom" said Gloria as she attempted to scratch at it.

"Hmmm, maybe acause you haven't had your diaper changed yet after waking us up so early" replied Prudence.

Then an idea flew into Gloria's head.

"Ooooh, I know, I'll takes my diaper off and then I'll be able to scratch my bottom easier," said Gloria.

Gloria reached the tape straps on her diaper and ripped them apart and her diaper fell off.

"Ahhhh, that feels good" sighed Gloria happily as she scratched her bottom.

"But how will you get your diaper back on?" asked Prudence.

Before Gloria could answer and especially after having breakfast, she ended up going to the bathroom and without a diaper on, she ended up going on the floor and causing a big mess.

"Oooops!" said Gloria as she smiled sheepishly.

"Ew, Mommy Gloria went potty everywhere" said Prudence as she covered her nose.

"Oh boy, just one of those days I guess" sighed Prudence's Mom.

Prudence's Mom put Gloria in her highchair whilst she got the mess cleaned up. After she was done, she took Gloria upstairs to get cleaned up. While that was happening, Prudence was in her and Gloria's bedroom thinking.

"Hmmm, Gloria has gotta be up to something. I can't get rid of that feeling" said Prudence to herself as she paced back and forth. "Maybe if I can convince mommy to take us to the playground, I can secretly get to the bottom of what's going on with Gloria.

A short time later, Gloria was in fresh clothes and playing in the living room. Prudence's Mom was in her bedroom catching her breath after the morning's fiasco had died down for the time being when she heard a knock on her door.

"Come in" said Prudence's Mom.

"Hi mommy," said Prudence.

"Hi sweetie, what's up?" asked Prudence's Mom.

"I know Gloria is kinda timed out acause of causing lots of trouble on the playground, but I think maybe if she had just a little break from timeout, some fresh air and had lots of room to run off the energy she's got today, she'd be too tired to cause more trouble. And I'll try my bestest to see that she doesn't get into too much trouble acause it is obvious that eyes will have to be kept on her so she won't be able to try something sneaky," said Prudence.

Prudence's Mom thought for a moment. Sure, she was firm with Gloria's punishment the last time she caused trouble, but at the same time, their mother was spent at that point from what had unfolded with Gloria and needed a breather to recollect herself and maybe a trouble-free trip to the park would be the answer.

"Well...Okay Prudence, we'll go to the park" said Prudence's Mom. "I just hope at least for today, Gloria behaves herself. And I hope I don't regret it" she added.

Prudence nodded in agreement. Shortly thereafter, Prudence's Mom along with her daughters in tow were enroute to the park. This trip to the park, however, was going to be very different than anyone could even fathom.

Soon, Prudence's Mom and her two daughters arrived at the park.

"Okay you two have fun" said Prudence's Mom.

Prudence nodded whilst Gloria just grinned as both girls ran off.

"I'm gonna go play by the swings Gloria," said Prudence.

Gloria just grinned and nodded as Prudence headed for the swings.

"And I'll find out what's going on with you in good time too" Prudence thought to herself.

Gloria on the other hand toddled her way to the top of the hill. From there she spied her enemies the Rugrats as they were playing around the playground. Gloria stared at them in a zombie-like state. She was almost catatonic. She had a goofy grin on her face as if her brain had shut down on her at that point from the sight of her enemies. Suddenly, Gloria raced out of eyesight from the Rugrats and hides in the bushes.

"He-he-he-he-he" chuckled Gloria as she gleefully rubbed her hands.

Then she started pulling her shoes and socks off.

"Ahhh" she sighed happily. "I feel better already"

Within seconds she pulled off her dress, leaving her in just her diaper.

"Weeeeeee!" exclaimed Gloria as she rushed out of the bushes and started running.

What Gloria didn't know amongst her erratic behavior was that she was in earshot of a group of three kids that had in fact heard and witnessed what had happened. One of those kids Gloria knew was Belinda. As soon as Gloria was out of sight, Belinda and the two other kids were left amused, dumbfounded and confused.

"Woah! did you guys see that?" asked one boy.

"Uh-huh. That was the Bumblebee running around in her diaper and no other clothes" replied Belinda as she giggled. "What is she doing that for?" she wondered.

"I don't know, but I've never seen the Bumblebee act like this before" replied the other boy. "Usually, I'd be afraid of her when I see her as a bully, but I think she's become a joke if she's running around like that. The Bumblebee is so gonna be the talk of the whole playground when they hear about this" he added.

The boys then ran in one direction while Belinda ran the opposite direction, but not before finding Gloria's socks, shoes and dress in the bushes and taking them with her. Meanwhile, Tommy and Chuckie were walking when suddenly they saw Belinda running towards them.

"Belinda!" exclaimed Tommy and Chuckie in unison.

"Hi Tommy. Hi Chuckie" replied Belinda.

"Good to see you again Belinda," said Tommy.

"What'cha got there Belinda?" asked Chuckie as he noticed that Belinda was holding onto Gloria's dress, socks and shoes.

"These are the clothes of the Bumblebee" replied Belinda.

"Oh-no, not her again!" whined Chuckie.

"Actually Chuckie, what the Bumblebee is doing might be different this time" replied Belinda.

Belinda went on to explain that she and two other boys were minding their business and how they overheard Gloria in the bushes undressing herself and witnessing her clad in her diaper and running wild afterward.

"She's what?" said a dumbfounded Chuckie.

"Yeah, we couldn't believe it either. We've never seen the Bumblebee's wild side afore" replied Belinda. Word is starting to spread like wildlife (wildfire) around the playground about this.

"Wow!" Tommy giggled. "This is the funniest thing I ever heared (heard)"

"I know. While I'd be nervous about the Bumblebee seeing that she's normally feared, I think maybe we should try to do something about it. She is sure to be the biggerest (biggest) laugh stocking (laughing stock) of the playground than the mostest (most) feared toddler," said Belinda.

Tommy and Chuckie thought for a moment. Sure, the Bumblebee is their nemesis. But they figured that something was obviously wrong with her. And they felt sure that her big sister Prudence was somewhere on the playground that could help provide some insight on what's going on. So, they agreed.

"Sure, I think there's something funny going on about this if the Bumblebee is running around almost nakey" said Tommy.

"Well, since I'd be outnumbered about this..." Chuckie began. "Sure, what have we got to lose, let's try to stop the Bumblebee's craziness" he relented.

And Tommy, Chuckie and Belinda made their way to the playground and caught up to the rest of the Rugrats.

"Hi guys" said Tommy and Chuckie in unison.

"Hi" replied the other Rugrats in unison.

"Well look who's with them" observed Zack.

"Hi Belinda" Kimi chimed in.

"Hi!" replied the other Rugrats in unison.

"Hi guys," said Belinda.

"What'cha up to Belinda?" asked Jesse.

Belinda then explained how she and two other kids heard and witnessed Gloria's strange behavior and running around the playground in just a diaper.

"Woah! So, the Bumblebee is running around the playground almost all nakey huh?" laughed Phil.

"Wow! That is weird and funny!" laughed Lil.

"I wonders if aliums (aliens) have taken control of the Bumblebee's mind and is making her do something that silly" wondered Dil.

"Your guess is as good as mine Dil. Maybe she got up on the wrong side of the bread (bed) or something" replied Savannah.

"I think the Bumblebee is going to be seen by the other kids as the biggest joke of the playground if she's acting like that," said Jesse.

"I've got a feeling there might be something going on in the mind of the Bumblebee that we don't know at this point" said Zack as he was trying to analyze the situation.

"Uh-huh. We gots to find Prudence and find out from her about why the Bumblebee is acting so strange and funny. Prudence might know something" replied Kimi.

"That's what Me and Chuckie figured out too that Prudence might know something we don't know" Tommy chimed in.

The others nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, on the other side of the park, Prudence was exiting the park restroom when she saw a girl run up to her.

"Hey, you?!" called out the girl.

"Who me?" asked Prudence.

"Yes you" replied the girl. "Have you heard the news?"

"What news?" asked Prudence.

"The Bumblebee, the most feared toddler or silliest toddler rather is acting totally crazy and is running around the playground with nothing on except her diaper," said the girl.

"What!" exclaimed Prudence as her face turned red with embarrassment.

"I know right? Word is spreading all over the playground like wildlife (wildfire) super-fast," said the girl. "Everyone is talking and laughing about it" she added.

"This I gotta see! Thanks" said Prudence.

And Prudence sprinted in a hurry to find her sister. As she was doing so, Gloria continued behaving erratically as she ran around the playground in her diaper and played around as many of the kids at the playground laughed in delight.

"Woah! The Bumblebee has become the silliest playground butt monkey," said a boy.

"I know right? And to think I was scared of her" replied a girl.

Meanwhile, Prudence was searching frantically for Gloria, when she suddenly spotted some familiar faces.

"Hey Prudence, over here!" Tommy called out.

Prudence ran towards the direction of the Rugrats and Belinda.

"Hey guys" replied Prudence.

"Hi" replied the Rugrats and Belinda in unison.

"Hey Prudence, have you heared (heard) the biggest news on the playground about your sister?" asked Phil.

"Yeah, I heared (heard) from one of the kids" replied Prudence.

"Even though we think it's the funniest thing we ever heared (heard), we're scratching our heads in confusion as to why your sister is doing this in the firstest place" added Lil.

"Yeah. I even finded (found) her clothes in the bushes Prudence" Belinda chimed in.

Belinda showed Prudence Gloria's outfit, sock and shoes to her as proof of evidence as Prudence sighed.

"Yep, she's gone over the hill alright," said Prudence.

"Uh-huh" replied Kimi. "We're wondering if you have any idea why your sister is acting like this"

"I think I do" replied Prudence.

Prudence then proceeded to explain to the others about what had unfolded with Gloria the night before through that morning.

"Hmmm, I think I know what's going on Prudence" Zack chimed in.

"You do?" asked Prudence.

"Yes. I'm almost sure your sister is likely entering the phase of the Terrible Two's Prudence," said Zack. "Sure, it's normal to some degree for kids to have mood changes and tantrums. But her obsession of bullying and terrorizing other kids and ruling the playground with an iron fist is borderline insane! Not to mention that her past failures to deter us probably hasn't helped matters either"

"He's right Prudence" Chuckie chimed in. "Sure, we ourselves all had our worstest moments, but almost nothing as bad as your sister I'm sure"

"Yep. I'm no different than any of you guys too," said Jesse.

"Same here" added Tommy.

"Yeah, me too" Dil chimed in.

"Sure, count us in too," sighed Phil.

"Yeah, even we've had our worstest moments with our constant bickering with each other among other things, right Phillip?" asked Lil.

Phil nodded at his twin sister's question.

"Yeah, I guess I've had my worstest moment when I first met Tommy, Chuckie and Belinda. Though I won't have to get into all of it as you probably already know that story by now," said Prudence.

The others nodded as Belinda spoke next.

"That's okay Prudence, we already forgiven you afore and we're good as far as I know" said Belinda.

"Thanks" replied Prudence.

"Well, let's not dwell on the past too long guys" Zack chimed in. "I think the important question now is that even though the Terrible Two's phase is something that can never be stopped, how should we deal with the Bumblebee's craziness?"

Before anyone could think, they heard Gloria as she was running in their direction, and she was smiling and laughing.

"Weeeeeee!" exclaimed Gloria as she ran past Belinda, Prudence and the Rugrats as they had a good look at Gloria clad in her diaper and they were simply stunned.

"Wow! Now that we saw it, we believe it," said Dil as he giggled.

The others nodded, murmured and giggled as Prudence's cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

As Gloria ran, she spotted a big mud puddle and made a big splash into it as she was completely covered with mud. Other kids were nearby as they witnessed this and laughed. Belinda and the Rugrats saw this too and giggled as Prudence shook her head at her sister's actions.

"This is so funny," laughed Phil. "The Bumblebee is a muddy mess!"

"Yeah, this is almost too much fun to stop. Almost that is!" laughed Lil.

"Any ideas on how to stop the Bumblebee's craziness Tommy?" asked Chuckie.

"Hmmm" pondered Tommy as he was brainstorming.

Meanwhile, Gloria found a drinking water fountain. When she reached the handle, the water 'SPLOOSHED' all over her and washing the mud off of her. After she was soaking wet from head to toe, this made the kids of the playground laugh. And Belinda and the Rugrats either giggled or snickered, much to Prudence's chagrin.

"This has gotta be the most embarrassing thing Gloria is doing. I wonder if she is even awake to see what she is doing" Prudence thought to herself.

After Gloria was done with the drinking water fountain, she spotted a pile of worms by the bushes as she ran toward that direction. Then she picked up a worm that was squirming and placed it in her diaper. Afterward, Gloria started dancing as this made the kids of the playground laugh even more and Belinda and the Rugrats giggled. At this point Prudence finally had enough.

"Alright this craziness that my sister is doing has got to stop!" lamented a spent Prudence.

At that moment, an idea finally flew into Tommy's head.

"I gots an idea guys!" said Tommy.

"You don't know how happy I am to hear that Tommy" said Prudence as she breathed a sigh of relief.

Tommy smiled as he motioned for the others to huddle up.

"Okay guys here's what we'll do. Since the Bumblebee is kinda um..." Tommy began before Zack chimed in.

"A little dim," said Zack.

"Well yeah" replied Tommy. "Since she is a little dim right now, it shouldn't be too hard to handle her. Anyway, what we'll do is this... Me, Jesse, Phil and Lil will attempt to distract the Bumblebee long enough by playing tag and leading her to that muddy puddle and we'll take her by surprise" he said.

"Okay Tommy" replied Jesse.

"Yeah, Me and Lil can be a muddier mess than the Bumblebee can any day, right Lillian?" said Phil.

"Yep!" replied Lil.

Tommy then turned to the Watanabe-Finster siblings.

"Chuckie and Kimi, can you two go and gets my grandma and grandpa? They'll probably want to know what's going on and see that we're okay," said Tommy.

"Uh-huh" replied Kimi.

"I'm cool with that Tommy" added Chuckie.

Tommy then turned to Prudence and Belinda.

"Belinda, can you go with Prudence and have her mommy come here and gets a good look at what the Bumblebee is doing?" said Tommy.

"You got it Tommy" replied Belinda.

"Ditto" added Prudence.

And finally, Tommy turned to Dil, Savannah and Zack.

"Dilly, Savannah and Zack, can you guys cover us from the bushes on the other side from the muddy puddle?" asked Tommy.

"You got it bro. We won't let you down" replied Dil.

"Sure Tommy. We can do it," said Savannah.

"We hear ya Tommy," said Zack.

Everyone nodded as the children fanned out and put Tommy's plan into motion.

"Hey Bumblebee!" Phil and Lil called out in unison.

Gloria heard her name being called and ran up to Phil, Lil, Tommy and Jesse.

"Hmmm" murmured Gloria to no one in particular as she grinned.

"We hears that you're the bestest kid around the playground" said Lil before Phil spoke next.

"But if you wanna be the bestest, first ya gotta beat the bestest" added Phil.

"Yeah. You gotta try and tag us all!" said Jesse excitedly.

"So how about it Bumblebee. You're not ascared of a challenge, are you?" added Tommy.

Gloria shook her head no. Then she accepted the Rugrats challenge.

"I accepts your challenge!" squealed Gloria excitedly as she grinned.

The Rugrats grinned at one another as they could see that Tommy's plan was working. Then Phil and Lil tagged Gloria and was it as Tommy, Jesse and the Deville twins fanned out as they played tag. Meanwhile, over by the bushes that was near the big mud puddle, Dil, Savannah and Zack kept watch as they took turns looking through Zack's binoculars.

"Things are going to plan guys," said Zack.

"Can I have a look, Zack?" asked Dil.

"Sure Dil" replied Zack.

Zack handed the Dil the binoculars and had a look at the Bumblebee chasing after the Rugrats.

"Yep. The Bumblebee is having some trouble trying to tag our friends there" said Dil as he looked through the binoculars.

"Can I have a look nextest Dil?" asked Savannah.

"Sure Savannah" replied Dil.

Dil handed Savannah the binoculars and had a look for herself.

"Uh-huh. It looks like now they're leading the Bumblebee to the big muddy puddle now" observed Savannah as she looked through the binoculars.

"We're ready to back our friends up if needed," said Zack.

Dil and Savannah nodded in agreement. Soon after, Phil, Lil, Tommy and Jesse were running towards the big muddy puddle as Gloria was not far behind them.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha!" laughed Phil, Lil, Tommy and Jesse in unison.

"The plans working Tommy!" said Jesse excitedly.

"Uh-huh. We'll put a stop to the Bumblebee's craziness in no time" replied Tommy.

"Yeah!" added Phil and Lil in unison.

The Rugrats soon ran past the big muddy puddle as Gloria was right on their tail. Gloria was so occupied with chasing the Rugrats in addition to her erratic behavior, that she accidentally took a tumble and slipped into the muddy puddle and was a muddy mess again. Upon hearing Gloria splashing in the mud, the Rugrats stopped and ran back quickly as they saw their chance to ambush Gloria as the Deville twins held her hands down whilst Tommy and Jesse held her feet down. By that point the four toddlers were a muddy mess as well.

"He-he-he-he, that tickles," laughed Gloria.

"We got the Bumblebee!" cheered Phil, Lil, Tommy and Jesse in unison.

Dil, Savannah and Zack, that were nearby watching everything cheered as well. Meanwhile, Prudence and Belinda found Prudence's Mom taking it easy on the park bench as the girls ran up to her.

"Hi kids. What's up?" said Prudence's Mom.

"Mommy! You gotta come quick! Gloria has finally gone over the hill! She's acting completely weird, taken all her clothes off except her diaper and has become the biggest laugh stocking (laughing stock) of the whole playground and I've been so embarrassed by what she's doing!" said Prudence.

"She's what!" exclaimed Prudence's Mom with a dumbfounded look.

Prudence and Belinda showed Prudence's Mom Gloria's shoes, socks and dress as proof.

"I can see that" sighed Prudence's Mom as she shook her head.

"Our friends are trying to stop her craziness as we speak mommy," said Prudence. "Like the other kids on the playground, even they are just as amused, shocked and weirded out as you are" she added.

Belinda nodded in agreement with Prudence.

"Thank you" replied Prudence's Mom. "Can you girls lead me to the scene?"

Prudence and Belinda nodded as they led Prudence's Mom to the scene. Meanwhile, on the other side of the park, Lou and Lulu were sitting on a bench. Lou was asleep, whilst Lulu was knitting a quilt as Chuckie and Kimi ran up to them.

"Hi kids," said Lulu. "What's happening?"

"Um, Tommy's grandma, you and his grandpa gotta come with us quick. All of our friends are attempting to stop a playground bully that has given us trouble before in the past. Only this time this kid is acting totally weird and is running around the playground half nakey" explained Chuckie.

"Oh, my goodness!" exclaimed Lulu. "Is anyone hurt?"

"So far no" replied Chuckie.

Lulu then tapped Lou on his shoulder, and he awoke.

"Huh-what" said Lou as he was awake. "Oh, hey sprouts, what's going on?"

"Tommy's grandpa, Me, Chuckie and our friends need your help to stop a playground bully. Don't worry, nobody is hurt when we last lefted them to come and find you. And they also tolded the bully's mommy what's going on too," said Kimi.

"They filled me in on what's happening Lou" Lulu chimed in.

"Well, we better see if the other little sprouts are okay" replied Lou. "Lead the way sprouts"

And Lou and Lulu followed the Watanabe-Finster siblings to the scene. Meanwhile, over to where the Rugrats were with Gloria, Phil, Lil, Tommy and Jesse were doing their best to keep Gloria restrained until help arrived. Dil, Savannah and Zack were on standby if the need for extra assistance was needed.

"He-he-he-he! This tickles" giggled Gloria.

"I dunno Bumblebee. You probably won't find this so funny soon," said Phil.

"Yeah. What will your mommy and your sister say about this?" added Lil.

As if mentioning Prudence's Mom summoned her, she called out...

"GLORIA!" shouted Prudence's Mom.

"Uh-oh!" said Phil and Lil in unison.

At that moment, Gloria instantly recognized her mother's voice as her voice boomed through the one-year-old's eardrums. Suddenly, Gloria came back to her senses as if her brain came back on as she looked around her and saw that she was clad in her diaper, completely covered in mud and pinned down by the Rugrats. She was more embarrassed than angry at that point.

"What is going on here?" asked a bewildered Gloria as her cheeks were as red as a lobster.

"I think that's what your mommy and your sister are gonna find out" replied Tommy.

"Yeah. We think you're in big trouble" added Jesse.

Sure enough, Prudence's Mom, Belinda and Prudence appeared. Seconds later, Lou, Lulu, Chuckie and Kimi also arrived at the scene.

"Great Josephette! What happened here?" wondered Lou.

The grownups were trying to fathom what was going on as Prudence's Mom looked at Gloria with a livid look on her face. Gloria smiled sheepishly as she knew she was in hot water.

"Looks like the Terrible Two's phase has only begun to set in on this little one," said Lulu.

"Yep! No two ways about it for a sprout to blow off steam" agreed Lou.

The other children (except Gloria) nodded in agreement.

"That is what I was afraid of" sighed Prudence's Mom before turning back to Gloria. "But it's no excuse for running out in public barely dressed like this. You've embarrassed me today young lady. And I hope you had fun blowing off steam like this because you'll be on time out for the rest of the weekend!" she said sternly.

Gloria did the only thing a toddler would do, she cried as the Rugrats released her and Prudence's Mom picked Gloria up to get her cleaned up and fully dressed again, but not before reading her the riot act. Lou and Lulu were glad the kids were okay as they took Phil, Lil, Tommy and Jesse to the park restroom to get cleaned up and into a change of spare clothes.

Later everything "settled down" as Prudence, Belinda and the Rugrats were playing again.

"That was the weirdest and funniest adventure eber (ever) said Dil.

"Yeah. I'm sure all the kids that saw the Bumblebee act like that will remember it for a while at least" replied Savannah.

"That was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me," said Prudence.

"It's not your fault Prudence" replied Tommy.

"If it's any consolation, it's all on your sister than you" Zack chimed in.

"Yeah. You remember how the Bumblebee brokeded (broke) my arm and gotted the same treatment when Dil pushed her off the playground structure?" said Belinda.

Prudence nodded.

"Well, she had it coming for doing that to me as well as stealing my teddy bear" replied Belinda.

"We all have problems at some point" Chuckie chimed in. "Sure, one would be mad or act crazy at the people we know and love or don't even know. It's how you handle your problems. If I had a problem, which I have and won't get into too much, I kinda like to try and fix that like a normal person would, no matter how ascared I'd become.

"Uh-huh" agreed Kimi. "And I guess the Bumblebee wanted to fix her problems, namely us by being her favoritest (favorite) punching bags with her bullying"

"As much as the Bumblebee picked on other kids, why would she target you guys seeing that you've had more encounters with her" asked Belinda.

"Acause when we've defeated her with her crazy plans against us, she'd look for her favoritest (favorite) scapegoaty (scapegoat) to blame," said Lil.

"Yeah. She's ascared to be wrong and gots to find someone else to take the blame for what she did" added Phil.

"Besides, what had happened today will all become yesterday's news sooner or later" Jesse chimed in.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Well, thanks for your help stopping my sister's Terrible Two's craziness, at least for today guys," said Prudence.

"No problem, Prudence" replied Tommy.

And the kids continued playing on the playground. Later, everyone parted company after their eventful time at the park.

The end
