Dil's Bathtime
Dil shivered as his mommy walked away with Tommy and it had nothing to do with him only being in a diapee (though it was odd he suddenly was mostly nakie… he had been wearing his onsie only seconds ago…). No… it was because his mommy said it was time for his bath and he knew what that meant! Scary monsters and a raging sea and-
"Hey Dil," the creator said, plopping down next to him and picking him up.
"Uh oh!" he whimpered, trying to wiggle free.
"Don't worry, you are getting rewarded this time."
"huh?"
"You were VERY good this episode," the creator informed him. "You and Tommy were calmly playing and while you did splash its because you were scared. Your mommy should have realized that the tub is too big for you still and you like being washed in the sink." Dil nodded; the sink was a lot more fun! "And you were scared for Tommy. You were VERY good so I am going to give you a reward." And with that he lightly tapped Dil on the nose, a small spark of… something… passing through him.
Dil blinked but suddenly he was back on the floor, the blond guy gone.
"Okay Dil, time for…" his mommy didn't say 'bathtime' but Dil knew it was bathtime! And it would be horrible! It would be. He fussed as she took him into the bathroom, where Tommy was waiting to be put in the tub. Dil though was first and he winced…
…only to blink.
It was just a tub.
With duckies and a ball and a little floating boat.
No ocean.
No scary monsters.
He lightly patted the water… and giggled.
It wasn't the ocean anymore! It was just a safe place to play! He wasn't going to be hurt! Tommy wouldn't be either! The nice blond man had saved them!
Dil screamed in glee as Tommy was put in his own floatie ring (and Didi was very thankful she'd seen those in the store… how she'd used to bath Tommy was SO dangerous!) and the two began to play as their mommy washed them. Didi put a little foamy ring around his head so she could wash his hair and no soapy got in his eyes. And Dil found himself not only having fun but feeling utterly relaxed, happily going for a nap after having such a fun time.

"Wow," Trixie stated.
"He was a good boy," Mr. Chaos said. "So I removed that nightmare spot from his little jellybean brain. Now he'll only see the bath as fun."
"…wow."
"I can be nice when they are written as good babies!"

Author's Note:… Dil's Bathtime is literally my favorite segment of the original series. It is how Dil SHOULD have been always written. Younger than Tommy and thus making mistakes… but we see why and its not out of greed or cruelty. He's just confused. And it shows him loving and idolizing Tommy. As "Tommy Pickles and the Terrible Twos" showed this could have been an entire episode.
