Akito and Estelle's Rugrat Adventure

chapter 7

"Things got heated between us and Dil..." Akito narrated then. "It was good though that Tommy was willing to look out for his little brother though."

"Yeah, because it would have gone crazy." Estelle narrated.

"We even ended up on the news!" Akito exclaimed.

At a castle, Cherry was on a couch with a light brown-haired woman dressed like a nurse who was doing her nails. There was the report of missing children and once she heard Akito and Estelle's names, she stood straight up. The woman saw she needed to go out and nodded to her.

"Dad, I'm going out!" Cherry called upstairs, grabbing her coat.

"I'll go with her!" the woman with a high-pitched voice added, going to be her escort outside.

"Fine, but don't go see that composer." Her father warned her.

Cherry frowned deeply and ran off. "Come on, Laura!"

The nurse nodded, grabbing her own coat and followed her.

Atticus and Mo were watching as reporters swarmed the Pickles household.

"Quick, let's get going." Atticus said to his wife.

"What's going on here?" Cherry asked as Laura stood behind her, looking like a lost puppy as she looked around as well.

"We're not sure, that's what we're trying to find out!" Mo told her.

"I heard something on the news about missing kids." Cherry replied.

There was then a news helicopter over the Pickles house and a reporter slid down from the rope ladder.

"Oh, great..." Cherry face-palmed. "Him!"

"Quick, everyone inside." Atticus said.

"Childhood, a time of innocence, a time of joy... A time of unspeakable, unrelenting tragedy," Rex Pester reported, going to Didi. "Mrs. Pickles, tell us how it feels to know you may never see your children again."

"Criminy!" Betty scolded him. "Can't you pit bulls show some compassion?"

"I'm so sorry..." Rex pulled a cocky smile as always. "Forgive me... Please tell us how it feels that you may never see your children again."

"That's it!" Mo glared.

Betty and Mo both wanted to fight Rex, but the women were restrained. Laura held Cherry as they were witnessing this.

"Hold on, Johnathon," the blonde woman who was Angelica's mother said as she came out of her phone, talking on the phone for what felt like the zillionth time today. "There's an alarming crowd at my in-law's indicating either a yard sale or a family tragedy. Let me get back to you."

"Just let me at him!" Mo glared, wanting to hurt Rex truly badly.

"I'm with ya!" Betty agreed with Mo.

"Hey, Mr. Pickles, how does it feel knowing your brother lost your only daughter?" Rex hounded Drew as soon as he came to see what the commotion was all about.

"He WHAT!?" Drew growled angrily.

"Share your pain..." Rex smirked, he seemed to enjoy everyone else's anger and misery.

Drew and Stu then started to physically fight each other.

"And there you have it," Rex said to the camera. "Two sour Pickles and young Tammy, baby Dale, the twins Bill and Jill, little Chunky, and poor Amelia, all vanished without a trace, not to mention their new friends known by the names of Alberto and Esperanza, I'm Rex Pester, and I'll be back with more 'Biiiig Action Newwwws'!"
