What If They Were Competent?

by Mr. Chaos

The Stipulation: One chapter a day. 500 words or less. Every episode of Rugrats. The Challenge: What if the adults on Rugrats were actually good parents? Watched their kids? Thought ahead? DIDN'T think it was fine for babies to nearly die every 5 days? Tommy is about to have a very different life with Stu and Didi actually using their brains.

Bigger Than Life

Tommy frowned, walking up to his best friend who was sitting on the lawn, head resting on his hand and with a look of utter sadness upon his features. "What's wrong, Chuckie?"

"Its nothing…" Chuckie said.

But Tommy sat down next to him, putting an arm around him. "You can tell me…"

"Well… Kimi is really good at making adventures and sometimes I'm worried that you won't like me no mores because I can do adventures like here."

That though made Tommy giggle. "Chuckie, I don't cares if you can't make up adventures!"

"You… you don't?" Chuckie asked.

"No, Chuckie! You're my best friend! I like you because you are Chuckie!" He hugged Chuckie and after a moment his friend turned and hugged him back. "And besides, you've come up with adventures before! Remember the space station you made out of that box?"

"Oh yeah… I do remember that!" Chuckie beamed. "Come on, let's play!"

Tommy giggled and the two got up and ran off to have fun.
