Chapter 103: The Rugrats Go Wild (3):
Angelica's POV:
Tommy and the others ditched me. They always do what I say.
"Angelica, you mind watching the kids," asks Uncle Stu.
"I'm supposed to baby-sit those half-pints? That's dog's work!" I then woke up Spike. "Spike! Wake up! Watch the babies. I got important things to do, like find someone to be my royal subjects. Now, go!"
Spike then walks away.
. . .
I don't know how I'm gonna get my bossiness back. Maybe I should've stayed with Glowface. I then heard something. I decided to take a look. "Listen up, monkey. All that chimp chatter really bugs. Just hand over those munchies and keep painting."
"Wow! She's got that monkey waiting on her hoof and mouth. Cynthia, I could learn a lot from that girl. Excuse me, Miss Bossy Lady?" The monkey then starts making noises. "Pipe down, monkey. Hey, lady!"
"Who's calling me a lady? I'm a teen! Where did you come from? This is supposed to be a deserted island."
"I'm Angelitiki, the island princess. And I'm thirsty. And I lost my touch for being bossy, so you got to teach me. No ice cubes next time!" The monkey ran away.
Tommy's POV:
We were looking for Nigel Strawberry.
"Wait up! Wait for me," says Chuckie.
Tommy: This place is different than our own backyard
Chuckie: I hope we haven't gone too far
Kimi: We're somewheres new and we haven't a clue
Susie: I just saw that butterfly turn blue
Lil: This is a strange and mysterious place
Phil: With lost of yummy buggys for us to chase
Dil: We may be lost, but I don't care
Tommy/Chuckie/Kimi/Susie/Lil/Phil/Dil: Woo-wee, it's a jungle out here
Kimi: This place is really neat
Phil: Lots of wormmys for us to eat
Tommy: Lots of furry things everywhere you stare
Lil: Feels like I got some in my underwear
Tommy: Monkeys swinging all around
Susie: I wonder if we're ever gonna get found
Kimi: We're having lots of fun! Hey, look over there
Dil: It's a jungle out here
Phil: Great big snake hangin' from a tree
Chuckie: I hopes that it don't eat up me
Susie: That green lizard's lookin' me in the eye
I sure am glad that I'm not that fly
Lil: Prettiful birdies singing a song
Chuckie: I hope we don't stay here for long
Tommy: We've gots a job to do and we're heading up there
Tommy/Chuckie/Kimi/Susie/Lil/Phil/Dil: Look sharp!
It's a jungle out here!
We've gots a job to do and we're heading up there!
Woo-wee!
It's a jungle out here!
Chuckie's POV:
"You know, it's lots easier going potty in the drainforest than at home. And you don't have to worry 'bout getting any on the floor or the walls or anything. Guys? UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... Wait up! UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh, uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh, guys?"
Eliza's POV:
I was looking for the leopard when Darwin came. "Eliza! You'll never believe what I just saw! There's a little girl at camp, and she's a miniature Debbie! In every way. She's bossy, she's loud... she's hideous!"
"Darwin, look," I said. We saw something that shouldn't be there.
"A dog," asks Darwin.
"What's he doing here," I asked.
"Oh, spreading his fleas on an unsuspecting world," says Darwin.
I then leaped towards the dog. "Hey, give a dog a little warning next time!"
"Sorry," I said.
"You know, it's funny. For a minute there I thought I actually heard you talking to me. You talking to me? Are you talking to me?"
"Yeah, I can talk to animals. It's a long story. Should we come back?"
"Ah, no problem; I'm done. I was just marking. Spike was here! Uh, sorry. I know... Where are my manners? I am Spike. Full name: Down Spike! Down! Get Off That Couch!"
"I'm Eliza, and this is Darwin."
Spike then sneezes. "Spike was here too," says Darwin.
"Wow! I've been sneezing all day. My sniffer's on the blink. I can't even smell my own butt. And let me tell you, I've tried."
"Charmed," says Darwin.
"Spike, what are you doing here," I asked.
"Well, I'm looking for my kids," says Spike.
"You lost your kids," I asked.
"Probably too busy drinking from the toilet," says Darwin.
"I was not! I was sleeping."
"That was my second guess," says Darwin.
"Hey, hey, smart boy, you don't get it, okay? This is how it works. Usually they wander off, I find them, no problem. But I can't smell. I might as well not even call myself a dog," says Spike.
"Don't worry, Spike. We'll help you find them. And I won't tell anyone you lost them," I said.
"Thank you!" Spike then starts licking me.
Chuckie:
"Tommy? Phil? Lil? Spike? Aw... I knew we shoulda stayed at the beach. Phil? Lillian! This is not funny! AH! Oh, you're just my 'flection! How ya doin', Chuckie? UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh, my 'flection never talked back! I been ascared of lots of stuff 'afore, but I never been ascared of me! Hey! Where'd it go? UUUUUUUUUmmmmmmmmm, Chuckie? That's not very nice. From now on, I'm not gonna make funny faces with you no mores! Hey! Who's throwing stuff? My shorts feel kinda big... Aah! Who took my shoeses? Hey! My big-boy pants aren't 'posed to do this! Oh! I don't even look like Chuckie no mores."
Tommy's POV:
So, we're still looking for Nigel Strawberry and Lil's decided she doesn't want to eat bugs no more because of what happened to that fly. I wonder where he is.
Nigel's POV:
Great Goodall, a gaggle of babies! "Children! Stay right there! I'm coming down!" I then fell and hurt myself. Not the way I intended. Heavens, what a fall. I must get to those babies. Then something hit my head...
Tommy's POV:
We finally found Nigel Strawberry. "Are you okay, Mr. Strawberry," asks Susie.
"She called me "mister!" Silly Billy. I'm only this many years old! Do any of you remember where I left my tricycle?"
"That's one big three-year-old," says Phil.
"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh, no, Mr. Strawberry. We're shipwrecked on this island. We was hoping you could help Tommy's daddy," says Susie.
Then Nigel Strawberry started acting weird.
Eliza's POV:
We were still looking, but then we ran into a leopard.
"I am Siri, the clouded leopard."
"I'm Spike, the purebred mutt!"
"See these claws?"
"Sniff my butt!"
"Maybe we should go," I suggested.
"Relax, I can handle cats," says Spike.
Spike: Don't go and be fooled
By those fancy pants
It's just her feline arrogance
Flaunting their collars with tinkerly bells
She thinks her litter box don't smell
Whoa, hey, who cut the cheese? Was that you, baby? You may want to reexamine your diet.
Siri: Can the old canine philosophies
Why don't you just go and tend to your fleas
Don't push me, mutt
I'm just not in the mood
You're one swipe away from becoming cat food
Spike: Don't go and be fooled by this crazy cat
Siri: Don't go and listen to his crazy facts
Not gonna tell you twice, you better watch your back
Spike: Don't go and be fooled
The big bad cat's a fur-ball-hacking
Rodent-snacking act
That's right, an act. You're just a pussycat. You think you're tough?
Siri: You're one swipe away from becoming toast
Eliza, get my doggy bag. I'm about to catch a snack.
Spike: We can settle this right now, right here-mano a mano, dogo a cato. Ow! That has gotta hurt- falling off a cliff into a sticker bush.
Siri: Not gonna tell you twice, you better watch your back!
Spike: Oh! Here I am. Come get me. You think I'm afraid of your claws? Coochie-coochie-coo. Bombs away, ladies. Come on, me and you. Come on, let's go right now. I'll rip that fur coat off ya and wear it and all my dog friends will be going, 'Spike, where did you get that skanky cat coat?' You hear what I'm saying, Red? I thought cats didn't like water. But frankly, Eliza, she did need a bath... Come on, come on. Aw, what happened? Well, I'm outta here, I gotta go find my kids.
"Helpless children," asks Siri.
"Yeah! Yeah! That's it. That's it. Have you seen 'em? Little ones, walk on two feet? Last time I saw 'em, they were on the beach. Walking... stumbling, actually," says Spike.
"Two feet," I asked.
"Yeah, my human kids," says Spike, "I met most of them in Egypt thanks to Anub-"
"I- Anubis..." I then decided to worry about that later. "I thought we were looking for puppies!"
"No, no. My pups are home with the wife. She can't travel. Delicate stomach. Me, I could eat anything- shoes, furniture, pencils with the little erasers. I ate one of Chuckie's diapers one time..."
"Spike, we have to find those kids before Siri does," I said.
That's when Spike realizes where he went wrong.
Chuckie's POV:
I was lost, and I was wearing someone else's pants, and I didn't have my glasses. Then I saw some monkeys picking on a smaller monkey. "Now, you big monkeys go 'way. You was little monkeys yourselfs once... um... probably. So just go away and leave this little monkey 'lone. Shoo! Shoo!" The little monkey then gave me a fruit. I saved someone instead of someone saving me. I must be a wild boy now.
Glowface's POV:
"I probably shouldn't ask this," I said, "but what's the story?"
"Well, the dog met a girl that's barking like a dog for some reason," says Lorenzo, "the Rugrats have met Nigel Thornberry, who now thinks he's three, the scared child has swap clothes with some sort of jungle boy, and Angelica Pickles tricked a teenager into thinking she's an island princess."
"Wow, those kids really know how to make it weird," I said.
Eliza's POV:
We were still searching, but then we found a weird dome. "I wonder what that is," I said.
"Never mind that," says Spike, "we gotta find the kids!"
We then walked away.
Angelica's POV:
"These are much better than the cookies we gots back at the grass hut, and I don't have to share with no dumb babies. I mean, um, dumb baby savages," I said.
"Tell me about it. I have to share with a pigtailed weirdo, a jungle freak, and a monkey in a tank top," says Debbie, "refill."
"Why do I have to get it," I asked.
"You said you wanted to learn how to be bossy, right? This is how you learn. Extra ice, two straws."
I then walked to get the refill.
. . .
"Angeli-tiki is nobody's lackey. Hey, lady! What's that bubble thing?"
"A bathysphere. It goes underwater. You know, like a submarine. Getting thirsty here!"
That girl's even bossier than me. Those dumb babies are practically on top of a mountain, and I'm gonna be blamed! I gotta go home and pretend I'm innocent. "Um, Debbie? I just 'membered. I was supposed to be home for, uh, the lsland Sacrifice."
"Okay, my mom will drive you when she gets here."
"But I have to go now. I'm the princess. Who do you think's going to throw in the goat?"
"Oh, it's a native thing. Oh, Mom will understand. But I am not waiting around to watch the goat bite it."
"Is that a CD player?"
"Yeah, only the best. You know an awful lot for an 'island girl'."
"Um, well, see, a TV washed up on the beach once and the island king made the whole tribe watch it."
"Cool!"
We then played a song.
Debbie/Angelica: Darling you've got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here
Till the end of time
So, you've got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
It's always tease...
Whoa!
Then there was a call. "Debbie! Debbie, there's a bunch of a toddlers lost around here, and the leopard's after them!"
Now I know I'm going to get in lots of trouble! I then stole the sub thing and took off!
Eliza's POV:
"Debbie, what happened," I asked.
"I was taking care of this island princess and..."
"What's she doing in the bathysphere?"
"I didn't say I was taking care of her well."
"It's going to get worst!" You're not going to believe this, but we were then faced with a ghost, a skeleton, and some sort of deformed monster thing!
Tommy's POV:
We were playing with Nigel Strawberry, but then this big bad kitty came. Nigel tried to pet it, but then the kitty bit his finger. "Kitty gave me a boo-boo."
We were backing away, but then Chuckie came and scared the kitty off.
Chuckie's POV:
I found the kid who took my clothes. "Hey, I been looking all over for you. I don't like being half nakie. I want my clothses back." We then switch back.
Tommy's POV:
Chuckie got back with us. I was beginning to lose faith in Nigel Strawberry, but then Angelica came in a scrubmarine thing.
"Get in," says Angelica.
. . .
We got in and went underwater... but when we got back to the surface, we saw Glowface, Mr. Crackpot, and other bad guys.
"Wow, I wasn't even trying to capture you kids," says Glowface, "and... here you are. By the way, I found your dog and these girls and their monkey. Now, it's time... to play!"
