Summary: When two cupcakes get swiped from the diaper duo, it's up the tenacity of the Dynamic duo along with a pint-sized jury to demand Justice. Will they deliver Justice? Read and find out!
It was a splendid sunny day in Yucaipa, California as Taffy along with Angelica, Zoey and the Rugrats arrived at the park to play.
"Alright Minis, have fun and be safe," said Taffy.
The children nodded as they ran off to play. No sooner than the children are out of sight, Britannica along with Gloria and Prudence arrived at the park.
"Hi Taffy" greeted Britannica.
"Hey Britannica" replied Taffy.
"Hello" said Prudence as she waved with a smile.
"Hello minis" replied Taffy.
"Babysitting the little ones to earn a little extra, so I volunteered," said Britannica.
"As the saying goes, another day another dollar" replied Taffy.
Britannica nodded as she turned to Gloria and Prudence.
"Have fun you two and be good," said Britannica.
Prudence nodded as did Gloria, though she crossed her fingers behind her back in addition to her fake smile as both girls headed their separate ways.
Meanwhile, Angelica and Zoey were getting ready to do a tricycle race around the park.
"Ready for some competition?" asked Angelica.
"Bring it on Angelica!" replied Zoey.
The Dynamic duo sprinted off on their tricycles as they laughed and enjoyed the wind blowing their hair. Meanwhile, Phil, Lil, Jesse, Zack and Kimi were getting ready to play a game of tag.
"Who's gonna be it?" asked Jesse.
"Ooooh! I wanna be it," said Kimi.
"Sure, you can be it Kimiko" replied Zack.
"Catch us if you can!" exclaimed Phil and Lil in unison.
The Rugrats started running as Kimi began her pursuit. Meanwhile, Dil and Savannah were playing atop the playground structure.
"We can see the world from up here" said Dil as he and Savannah were playing an imaginary game.
"Yeah. An explorer has gotta be brave to make it to the top" replied Savannah.
"C'mon, let's slide on down to the bottom and see what else is around to explore," said Dil.
And the diaper duo slid down the slide to the bottom as they continued their game. Meanwhile, Tommy and Chuckie were walking, when all a sudden, they saw Prudence walking toward them.
"Prudence!" exclaimed Tommy and Chuckie in unison.
"Hi guys" replied Prudence.
"I know I've asked before, so I'll ask again. Where's your sister?" asked Chuckie.
"She's here guys" replied Prudence. "Mommy promised that if Gloria behaved, she'd get a cupcake for good behavior"
"Hmmm…. Well, I guess we'll wait and see if she'll hold up to that" replied a skeptical Tommy.
"Uh-huh" agreed Chuckie. "But on the other hand, what's to stop the Bumblebee from trying something really sneaky behind our backs?"
"That part is easy Chuckie. Gloria is pretty sneaky, I'll admit that, but we can be even sneakier and when she least expects it, she'd get caught in a trap as easy as pie," said Prudence.
"Yeah. It's like Kimi said, you've gots some sneakiness in you Prudence. I kinda likes it" said Tommy.
Prudence nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Gloria was walking along the pathway. She eventually decided to take a rest at some nearby bushes.
"Behaving good is for goody goodies!" said Gloria. "I'm gonna get my hands on that cupcake mommy promised me no matter what!"
As Gloria was gathering her thoughts, she heard some laughter as she took a peek through the bushes as she saw Dil and Savannah playing together.
"Humph! Look at those two goody goody babies!" Gloria said quietly. "I bet they're having a good time. Well… they'll be in for a rude awakening"
As Dil and Savannah headed for the picnic area where Taffy and Britannica were, Gloria secretly followed the diaper duo. Meanwhile, Angelica and Zoey were resting on a bench near the picnic area as they were catching their breath after their tricycle race around the park.
"Phew! That was a good race Zoey," said Angelica.
"You said it Angelica" replied Zoey.
As the Dynamic duo were resting, they heard something rustling in the bushes. As the sound subsided, Angelica pulled out her Cynthia binoculars and recognized a familiar little figure with blond hair.
"Look alive! It's Gloria again," said Angelica.
"I've got a sneaky suspicion that she's up to something again" replied Zoey.
"Let's you and me follow her and we'll uncover what it is," said Angelica.
"Uh-huh" agreed Zoey.
The Dynamic duo quietly followed Gloria. Soon, they saw her stopped short of the picnic area where the diaper duo was about to have cupcakes for a snack. Angelica pulled out her Cynthia camcorder and started recording just in case as she and Zoey saw that Gloria began rustling the bushes around as she was apparently trying to distract the diaper duo.
"You hear something in the bushes Dil?" asked Savannah.
"Yeah, let's go check it out" replied Dil.
The diaper duo put their cupcakes down as they went to investigate the noise. When Gloria saw her chance, she snuck up to the picnic blanket and saw the diaper duo's cupcakes.
"Mmmm…. Those cupcakes look good," said Gloria.
As Gloria snatched up the cupcakes Dil and Savannah heard a familiar voice as they turned around and were very surprised to see their nemesis the Bumblebee with their cupcakes in her hands.
"The Bumblebee!" exclaimed Dil and Savannah in unison.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha! Thanks for the snack's suckers!" taunted Gloria as she ran off.
"Help! The Bumblebee tricked us!" snapped Dil.
"We gotta stop her and get our cupcakes back!" added Savannah.
The diaper duo attempted to give chase as the Dynamic duo managed to record the theft as they emerged from their hiding spot.
"I've got an idea, but we gotta follow them," said Angelica.
"Right behind you Angelica" replied Zoey.
The Dynamic duo followed close behind.
Meanwhile, Gloria managed to pull out ahead of the diaper duo as she stuffed her face with the diaper duo's cupcakes and discarded the muffin wrappers on the ground as she ran to the duck pond nearby and washed her hands and face to get rid of the evidence. What Gloria didn't know was that the Dynamic duo managed to collect and capture all the evidence they needed from the heist.
"The Bumblebee is only digging her hole deeper" whispered Zoey.
Angelica nodded. Suddenly….
"There she is!" said two familiar voices.
Gloria turned and saw Dil and Savannah running toward her direction as she pulled an eyelid pull taunt on them before running off quickly as the diaper duo stopped to catch their breaths.
"You won't get away with this Bumblebee!" snapped Savannah.
"Just wait until we tell our friends about this!" added Dil.
As the diaper duo ran to find their fellow Rugrats, the Dynamic duo followed behind.
Soon, Dil and Savannah caught up to their fellow Rugrats. The Dynamic duo caught up to them as well. Dil and Savannah explained the situation with what had happen with their surprise encounter with Gloria. To say that they were livid with what Gloria did was an understatement.
"Call the Police!" said Phil
"Call the Army!" added Lil
"Call me when it's over," said Chuckie.
"Let's get her! She now owes Dilly and Savannah two cupcakes!" added Jesse.
"Yeah! The Bumblebee was as sneaky as Swiper the Fox in Dora the Explorer," said Savannah.
"The Bumblebee really had us fooled when she was sneaking around the bushes like that" added Dil.
"Un-huh. The Bumblebee may be sneaky, but we'll be even sneakier once we come up with a clever plan," said Kimi.
"I agree. But we're gonna have to try something a little different this time as the Bumblebee is unfortunately innocent until proven guilty given how she was able to successfully pull this heist off" added Zack.
"We'll get even with the Bumblebee. Just wait and see you guys," said Tommy.
"Hey Dilly and Savannah. I might not be able to get you guys those cupcakes back, but I'll at least get you an apology," said Angelica. "Cmon"
"Neat" said Dil and Savannah in unison.
"I'll go with you guys," said Zoey.
And the Dynamic duo and the diaper duo set off to find Gloria. Meanwhile, Prudence unaware of the heist that Gloria pulled off for the moment was exiting the park restroom as her little sister ran up to her.
"Hi Gloria, what's happening?" asked Prudence.
"Oh nothing" lied Gloria as she had her fingers crossed behind her back.
"Hmmm" pondered Prudence.
Suddenly….
"There she is!" said a couple of familiar voices.
"Uh-oh! I better think of something quick!" Gloria thought to herself.
Prudence and Gloria turned and saw the Dynamic duo along with the diaper duo coming their direction.
"Hi guys, what's happening?" asked Prudence.
"We'll tell you what's happening. Your little sister tricked us and swiped our cupcakes we were gonna eat for snack time," said Savannah as she pointed directly at Gloria.
"Yeah! And not only does she owe us an apology, but she owes us two cupcakes with sprinkles" added Dil.
"Gloria is this true?" asked Prudence sternly.
"No way! Those goody goodies probably fed their snacks to their silly dolls that they're holding," said Gloria.
"Hey!" snapped Dil and Savannah in unison.
"Anyway, why do you care?" asked Gloria.
"We care because we're here to defend our friends" replied Zoey.
"Oh yeah? Well look at my hands they're clean," said Gloria.
Gloria showed her hands to everyone. And even though they were clean the others were skeptical as Angelica spoke up.
"Hmmm…. Your hands may be clean, but your attitude sure is suspicious," said Angelica.
"Oh yeah? Well, I say you gots to prove it since you don't gots a crumb of evidence against me" said Gloria as she pointed directly at Angelica.
"I will" replied Angelica.
"Ha! I can't wait," said Gloria.
As the Dynamic duo and the diaper duo walked away Prudence was for now torn between two sides. On the one hand, her little sister's hands were clean and wanted to be somewhat optimistic seeing as this time Prudence wasn't there to actually see what had happened. On the other hand, she figured that her friends could be planning something that would involve her and Gloria in whatever her friends could be planning. So, for the time being Prudence decided not to let Gloria know that in addition to not pressing the issue until the moment was right as far as her friends were concerned.
Meanwhile, the Dynamic duo and the diaper duo caught up to the Rugrats and attempted to formulate a plan of attack so to speak in response to the stolen cupcakes.
"The Bumblebee's gotta be lying and she knows it," said Phil.
"Yeah. If she was pistachio (Pinocchio), her nose would get bigger and bigger for her lying and give her little secret away" added Lil.
At that moment, an idea flew into Tommy's head.
"I've got an idea guys!" said Tommy.
"Thanks bro you're the bestest big brother eber (ever)" replied Dil.
Tommy smiled as he turned to Angelica.
"Angelica, do you remember the time when we did that trial for that brokeded (broken) Mr. Fluffle-Luffles lamp when in the end it turned out to be you when you were still mean?" asked Tommy.
"Absolutely. And I believe I know where you're going with this Tommy" replied Angelica. "We can do this at my house. But first I gotta talk to my daddy tonight and see if he can make a few phone calls to Gloria's mommy and King Peter for this plan"
"Ooooh, we're gonna bring out the big guns huh?" said Jesse.
"So, we're gonna try the same thing with the Bumblebee huh?" asked Chuckie.
"Uh-huh. It sounds cool" added Kimi.
"Sounds like a great idea to get justice for our friends Tommy," said Zoey.
"Yeah!" added Phil and Lil in unison.
"Thanks guys. You're the bestest friends eber (ever)" said Savannah.
"Okay guys, all in favor of the trial of the stolen cupcakes being held at Angelica's house raise your hands," said Zack.
The other Rugrats, Angelica and Zoey all raised their hands.
Later in the evening, Angelica talked to Drew about arranging a playdate with Prudence and Gloria at her house and having King Peter and Taffy babysit everyone. Even though Drew was a bit surprised that she wanted Prudence's little sister to tag along, he agreed as he made a few phone calls to Peter, Molly and Taffy. After Drew made contact with everyone, the playdate was all set.
The next day, Peter and Taffy along with the Rugrats arrived at Drew's and Angelica's house and rang the doorbell as Drew answered it.
"Good day to you Mr. Pickles" greeted Peter.
"Good day to you two as well" replied Drew.
"Always glad to babysit the little minis" added Taffy.
"Thanks for coming the babysit the kids. My little Princess and Zoey are out in the backyard waiting," said Drew.
Peter and Taffy nodded as Drew got into his car and drove off to work. Peter, Taffy and the children headed inside. While Taffy would settle in the living room, everyone else headed out to the backyard where the Dynamic duo was waiting. Once there, they saw a mock court room set up.
"Hi Peter" greeted Angelica and Zoey in unison.
"Hello you two" replied Peter.
"We're glad you can make it," said Angelica.
"No problem" replied Peter. "The little ones filled me in on what happened yesterday on the way here and it sounds like this kid is quite mischievous to say the least"
"No kidding!" said Jesse.
"She's willing to go to outrageous lengths to get whatever she wants. Physically and emotionally" added Zack.
"Don't worry guys. The Bumblebee is gonna see justice today," said Tommy.
"Yeah! I can't wait" replied Dil.
"Me too" added Savannah.
"Which roles for the Judge, Jury, Lawyer and Prosecutor are you all going to do?" asked Peter.
"The firstest part is easy. Since Zack is the smartest baby in the whole wild world, he's gonna be the Judge," said Kimi.
"Well…." Said Zack as he blushed.
"As for who gets to be the jerky (jury)" said Phil before Lil cut in.
"That's gonna be all of us," said Lil.
"Who get's to be the lawyer and defend those that were the victims of Gloria's crime? That's gonna be me as I've got it covered and I won't let them down," said Angelica.
"Thanks Angelica" replied Tommy.
"Yeah thanks!" added Dil.
"We're gonna be counting on you," said Savannah.
"And finally, who get's to be the prosecutor? It's gonna be Zoey," said Chuckie.
"That's right. Like Angelica, I got it covered as we make a great team," said Zoey.
"Sounds like you've got it covered," said Peter. "And I believe I'll be the bailiff which in case you don't know it's somebody who keeps order in the court" he added.
The Rugrats, Angelica and Zoey nodded in agreement. Soon, the doorbell rang as Taffy went to answer it as she saw Britannica, Prudence and Gloria waiting there.
"Hi Taffy" greeted Britannica.
"Hey there, glad you came" replied Taffy.
Taffy led them inside.
"The minis are all out in the backyard waiting for you," said Taffy.
"Okay great" replied Prudence.
As the girls made their way to the backyard, they saw Angelica, Zoey and the Rugrats. While Prudence wasn't surprised to see all her friends, Gloria was oblivious on what was happening especially since they saw a fourteen-year-old man in uniform they've never met before.
"Have we been waiting for you Bumblebee," said Phil.
"But firstest, there's someone we like you to meet" added Lil.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Peter Albany. The King of the Confederacy," said Peter.
"Nice to meet you your highness," said Prudence. "Hey you can talk to litterer kids?" she asked.
"Yes, it's a special ability I have" replied Peter.
"Cool!" said Prudence.
"And you must be Gloria," said Peter.
"That's my name, don't wear it out," said Gloria.
"If you're wondering why you're here Gloria, we're gonna play a game called the trial of the stolded (stolen) cupcakes," said Angelica.
"It's where the defendant, which is you will get a chance to defend yourself against the plaintiffs which is two of our friends over here" said Zack as he pointed at Dil and Savannah.
"Oh, not this again!" exclaimed Gloria.
"What's wrong Gloria, got something to hide?" asked Prudence suspiciously.
"No not at all" replied Gloria as she was obviously trying to deny her wrong doings.
"You're ascared (scared) that you'll be finded (found) out, aren't you?" asked Lil.
"Nuh-uh!" said Gloria.
"Then what are we waiting for. Let's get this game started," said Phil.
"Fine! You'll regret it anyway when I'm proven innocent!" retorted Gloria.
The other kids just rolled their eyes. Soon, everyone was in place to begin the game. Zack was wearing a black toddler sized coat as the judge. The Rugrats were seated on toddler sized stools as the jury, Peter stood firm as the bailiff, Zoey was the prosecutor, Angelica was the lawyer, Dil and Savannah were sitting on a table made of a handcart, whilst Gloria and Prudence sit at another.
"The case of the babies vs. the bumblebee will now proceed" said Zack as he hit his toy hammer on a toy box.
"Today, I will prove that these poor babies had their cupcakes stolded (stolen) by Gloria in a daring heist" said Angelica as she pointed directly at Gloria. "It was mean and greedy and justice must be served"
"And I will prove that I did not steal their cupcakes. In fact, I'm trying to be good to get a cupcake or two later from mommy," said Gloria.
"So, the Bumblebee is trying to be a good baby huh?" said Phil.
"Humph! We'll see who's the bad naughty baby after this trial" added Lil.
"Well, that's interesting!" Jesse chimed in.
"Don't worry guys me and my partner Zoey used my Cynthia clamcorder (camcorder) and caught everything that happened that will expose Gloria for what she really is" whispered Angelica to Dil and Savannah.
The diaper duo smiled and winked back at Angelica.
"For my first witlesses (witnesses) I call Dilly and Savannah to the stand," said Zoey.
The diaper duo stood up and made their way to the witness stand.
"Ok, now raise your hands. Do you promise to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" asked Zoey.
"We do" replied Dil and Savannah in unison.
"Now say your names for the jerky (jury)" said Zoey.
"Dil" he said.
"Savannah" she said.
"Now tells us in your own words what you guys were doing when the incident happened?" asked Zoey.
"We were about to eat our cupcakes for snack time," said Dil.
"Then we hearded (heard) something in the bushes," said Savannah.
"We weren't sure what it was at firstest, so we decided to take a look," said Dil.
"We put our cupcakes down and made our way to the bushes to see that there was nothing there," said Savannah.
"We were confused at that moment as we knew we hearded (heard) something," said Dil.
"Little did we know we were in for a nasty surprise as we for sure hearded (heard) an all to familiar voice as we turned around and saw the Bumblebee with our own eyes and with our cupcakes in her hands as she laughed and ran away," said Savannah.
"LIES!" snapped Gloria.
"Order in the court!" snapped Zack as he hit his toy hammer on the toy box. "Please you two continue your side of the story.
"Gladly" said Dil and Savannah in unison.
"After the Bumblebee ran off that's when we realized that we were tricked when she sneakeded (snuck) all around the bushes to get our attention and distract us," said Dil.
"We started chasing after the Bumblebee. After running for quite a while, we almost caught her by the duck pond but sadly, she got away and eated (ate) our cupcakes as we caught our breaths," said Savannah.
"After that we did the onliest thing we could do, we ran off to tell our friends what happened and here we are," said Dil.
"I'm finding this eyewitness account very interesting," said Zack.
The other Rugrats whispered and murmured in agreement as Dil and Savannah left the witness stand.
"And now for my next witlesses (witnesses) I call Prudence and the Bumblebee to the stand," said Zoey.
The girls stood up and made their way to the witness stand.
"Do you promise to tell the truth and so on?" asked Zoey.
"I will" replied Prudence.
"Do I have to?" retorted Gloria.
The others just shook their heads and rolled their eyes as Zoey turned to Prudence.
"Prudence, I think it would be a good idea if we begin with you in your own words before we hear from your sister," said Zoey.
"Sure" replied Prudence.
"Awwww… no fair! I wanna go firstest!" snapped Gloria.
"Order in the court!" snapped Zack as he hit his toy hammer on the toy box. "Go ahead Prudence"
Prudence cleared her throat as she began to speak as Gloria sulked.
"Yesterday after we got to the park, me and Gloria went our separate ways. I can assure you that on the one hand at the time I was totally unaware that Gloria was planning something against my friends. On the other hand, the possibility wasn't too far off my mind. Anyway, I met up with Tommy and Chuckie. We talked and played. Eventually, I had to go potty as it was on the other side of the playground. Between then and when Gloria ran up to me when I came back outside anything could have happened. Especially because some of my friends confronted Gloria about her swiping their snacks behind their backs. Even though I was torn between two sides, I had my suspicions about this incident as well. But decided not to press the issue at least until now when all my friends acted upon the incident first and here we are" explained Prudence.
"Hmmm…. Interesting account on your part Prudence," said Zack.
Gloria just glared angrily at her sister as the Rugrats whispered and murmured in agreement.
"Now it's your turn Bumblebee," said Zoey. "And I think we'll regret what we're gonna hear" she thought to herself.
Gloria had a mischievous look on her face as she began to speak.
"Well…. This whole story is a crazy wild dream you're having. Yes, I said it you all have such silly imaginations that I'm surprised that we're not all sound asleep. That's what always happens when people listen to crazy fairy tales! I myself would never dream of swiping what's yours to get what I want the mostest. You all wouldn't know the difference between dreams and reality! You're all ascared to admit that I'm right and you're totally WRONG to accuse me without a crumb of evidence against me. I am better than any of you goody goodies this time. And you should just forget the whole thing even happened!" finished Gloria.
The other children looked at Gloria. They were looking at her as if she had two heads like she was crazy, delusional, slug happy and off her rocker.
"Okay" said Zack, possibly thanking the heavens that Gloria was done.
Angelica then approached Zack.
"Your Honor, if I may cut in, my partner and I have key evidence I wish to show you and the jerky (jury) that will prove that Gloria is lying," said Angelica as she held her Cynthia camcorder in her hands.
"Uh-oh!" Gloria thought to herself as she gulped and began to panic.
Peter then got his outdoor movie projector set up within minutes and Angelica's Cynthia camcorder was hooked up to it as the footage began as it showed Gloria sneaking around the bushes where Dil and Savannah were as she was attempting to get their attention, lure them away from the picnic blanket and trick them. Then swiping, gloating, taunting and making off with the diaper duo's goodies and stuffing her face with them as an on-foot pursuit began. Then the footage showed Gloria discarding the muffin wrappers on the ground and then running towards the duck pond to wash her hands and face in an attempt to cover her tracks and get rid of the evidence. And finally pulling an eyelid taunt to further rub salt in the diaper duo's wounds as she ran off.
And the footage ended there. Everyone in Angelica's backyard were glaring angrily at Gloria as she smiled sheepishly.
"Tell me, Gloria," Prudence began. "Did you really think you'd pull the wool over our eyes by destroying the evidence and covering your tracks, huh? Did you really think you'd be able to pull a fast one without a trace? I really began to suspect something was up with you when mommy tolded (told) me that we'd be coming here for a playdate and that these kids WANTED you to come along with me"
Gloria was on the verge of tears as Dil and Savannah approached her with looks of pure anger on their faces.
"Well…. what do you want?" said a meekly Gloria.
"Oh, just this!" said Dil.
Dil and Savannah gave Gloria a power stare.
"Admit it!" said Savannah.
Gloria tried to hold back the tears that were forming in her eyes at that point, but soon, the floodgates opened like a barn door failing to hold back a tornado.
"OKAY, OKAY, YOU WIN, I ADMIT IT, IT WAS ME!" sobbed Gloria. "ARE YOU HAPPY? YOU GOODY GOODIE BABIES ALWAYS WRECK EVERYTHING FOR ME JUST WHEN THE GETTING WAS GOING GOOD! I WAS GONNA GET A CUPCAKE OR TWO FROM MOMMY IF I BEHAVED, BUT I COULDN'T WAIT! I JUST HAD TO CUPCAKES AS SOON AS I FINDED (found) SOME! I COULDN'T RESIST IT!"
And Gloria bawled like a tiny tot as Peter and Prudence attempted to comfort her whilst the others were racking their minds at what had transpired.
"Gloria" Prudence began firmly. "I get how you felt but its no excuse! You ought to feel some if any guilt about this. Swiping what isn't yours hurts other people and it's plain wrong!"
"She's right" Zack chimed in as he hit the toy box with his toy hammer. "And the jury having heard and witnessed the evidence, what is your verdict? Guilty, or no?"
"Guilty!" exclaimed the Rugrats in unison as they pointed their fingers at Gloria.
Zack then hit the toy box with his toy hammer as he spoke again.
"Bumblebee" Zack began. "I'd punish you for your crimes myself if I was all grown up but I'm gonna leave that up to your babysitter and your mommy to decide after they hear about this incident from Peter. This case is now closed!"
Zack hit the toy box with his toy hammer one last time. Angelica, Zoey and the Rugrats cheered for their victory. Prudence was also happy to see her sister face justice for her actions.
Peter then picked up a bawling Gloria and went inside the house as Taffy and Britannica had just finished making cupcakes for dessert. After filling the teenagers in on what happened, Britannica called Molly and informed her of Gloria's latest mischief and made a quick round trip to take her home early and receive her punishment as she cried herself to sleep the entire way.
Later, at Angelica's house, Peter, Taffy and Britannica served the kids their cupcakes for dessert as they smiled and their eyes widened.
As the children ate their cupcakes they had a chat.
"Angelica, Zoey, thanks for your help with exposing the Bumblebee for what she really was with that Cynthia clamcorder (camcorder)" said Dil.
"Yeah!" agreed Savannah. "And the cupcakes that Taffy and her friend made for all of us are delicious, but justice tastes even sweeter"
"You're welcome" replied Angelica and Zoey in unison as Dil and Savannah turned to their fellow Rugrats.
"Thanks, you guys for not only helping us, but listening to us as well," said Savannah.
"Yeah, you guys are the bestest. And Tommy, you're the bestest big brother eber (ever)" added Dil.
"Thanks Dilly" replied Tommy. "I never believed the Bumblebee from the start" he added.
"I'm glad that's all over" added Chuckie.
"Uh-huh. We were even sneakier than the Bumblebee," said Kimi.
"Guys, I'm sorry that my sister's actions of swiping Dilly and Savannah's cupcakes hurt them on the inside," said Prudence.
"It's not your fault Prudence" assured Jesse.
"Even though the Bumblebee's plot was intricate, it was no match for our tenacity and as a result justice was served in the end for Dil and Savannah" added Zack.
"Yeah! Our cuteness on the outside may or may not fool any big bully" said Lil before Phil cut in.
"But it's our toughness that's going on the inside that helps when our undies and diapies are in a bunch anytime on our adventures," said Phil.
As the others nodded in agreement, Peter came out to the backyard.
"Hi" greeted the children in unison.
"Hello everyone. Liked the cupcakes?" asked Peter.
"Yeah!" replied the others in unison.
"Peter, thanks for stopping by to help us out with our mock trial of the stolded (stolen) cupcakes today. My friends and I really appreciate it. We couldn't have done it without you," said Angelica.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Anytime my friends, anytime" replied Peter.
After the kids finished their cupcakes, they played around in the backyard to run off their energy after dealing with Gloria courtroom style until their Taffy and Britannica took the kids to their respective homes and Peter headed back toward the castle and everyone called it a day.
The end
