Author's Note: It's now time, for a story that's been scheduled for release for a while, and could possibly be, one of the final stories I do for a good while, where several OC's owned by other authors than myself, otherwise known as the East coast gendar bender Rugrats in my universe, play a major role in a story of mine. Not to say they won't appear in future stories, but I may be cutting back on the use of other author's OC's come the 2016 year, having them make only cameo appearances, rather than playing major roles, until I see a bit more activity and initiative from the authors who created them. In other words, more regular releases of new stories and updating incomplete stories on their profile in the coming year. I'm sick of seeing this fandom fall, and I think as a new years resolution for anybody who reads this, let's try a bit harder, to be on top of releasing stories in the coming year. Not to worry, I plan to keep up my regular releases of stories as well. Also, this is the East coast gendar bender Rugrats version of one of my favorite Rugrats episodes, Vacation. An episode that sadly, doesn't get a lot of air play on The Splat, and if you're sadly, one of the people that must rely on Hulu and Amazon Instant Video to watch Rugrats, you sadly, wohn't see this episode, because it's missing from the list. However, if you're lucky enough like me, to own season 4 on DVD, or should you have the orange video tape that was released on July 8, 1997, to feature this twenty-two minute special, along with the bonus episodes, Ice Cream Mountain and Graham Canyon, then you're in luck! Not to worry though, by the end of the story, even if you are reduced to watching it on Hulu or Amazon Instant Video, this so called, missing episode, won't be all that unfamiliar to you, once Tommy tells the story of his vacation to Rosie, post her telling him about her trip to New York. With that out of the way, let's get started.

New York New York

Summary: While Tommy and the gang were in Los Vegas, freeing the tigers in the Heimlick and Bob Show, Rosie and the gang were in New York City, attempting to see and ultimately save, the Dummi Bears musical! Listen to Rosie tell Tommy of her big New York adventure, and best vacation ever!

Disclaimer: I do not own the original Rugrats characters, they're the property of their original creaters. I own any OC's you don't recognize, like Reggie, while Peter is owned by TCKing12, Rosie and her family, and Bonnie and her family are owned by Nairobi-harper, and Hazel and her family are owned by HazelNutSwirl. This is also my first attempt at using Bonnie in a major role, but judging by her profile in that OC introduction story that Nairobi-harper released a while back, I picture her to be the gendar bender version of Chuckie. I hope I don't mess up on this too much, but please, no flaims. Already had to delete a nasty guest review on my story, Rosie's Loss the day after Christmas, and I'm very upset at how insensitive some people just, really are. With that, on with the first chapter!

Chapter 1, Prologue, Tommy's Bad Day

It was a wet, rainy day in late summer. Two-year-old Tommy though, was having the most miserable day of his life, and he was only hoping he could talk to Rosie, as talking with her always made him feel better. Little did he know he'd be getting that opportunity, as he tried some coconut for the first time for lunch, and to his dismay, didn't like it. Peter was over babysitting him, while Stu and Didi took his one-year-old brother Dil to the doctor's for his check up, as they were trying to get everybody's annual physicals done before leaving for Washington DC the following week.

"What did you thihnk of your coconut Tommy?" Peter asked, as he cleared away the lunch dishes from the table, and placed them into the sink.

Tommy let out an irritated sigh before responding.

"The texture was nice, but I don't like it. I like fruits with more taste, like apples. I'm sorry Peter." Said Tommy.

He hopped down from his chair on to the floor, a sad look on his face. Peter stopped washing the dishes and came over to put a comforting hand on Tommy's shoulder.

"I know today hasn't been a pleasant one for you, but it's just about time for your nap. And tonight, your best friend Chuckie and his family, and Zack and his aunt are coming over for dinner, so that ought to cheer you up a bit." Said Peter.

Tommy turned and let out a small smile, before turning his attention back to where he was going, as he ran into the living room, grabbed up his soft Reptar doll from the play pen, and headed up to his room to take a nap. Before lying down, he used the potty in the bathroom, then returned to his room, where he hopped into his bed, and Peter tucked him in. No sooner was he about to leave the room, when a vibration came from his pocket. He pulled out the phone to see he had a Facetime call, so answered it.

"Hi Peter, is Tommy there? I've gots something to show him!" Rosie exclaimed with excitement.

Peter could see on the screen, that Rosie was sitting on the floor of her living room, and a photo album was sprawled out in front of her.

"Sure! But Tommy does need to take his nap, he was up very late last night. So don't talk long." Said Peter, as he handed the phone to Tommy, and left the two toddlers alone to talk, while he went back downstairs to finish cleaning up the lunch dishes.

"Uh, hi Rosie." Said Tommy in a sad tone of voice.

"Hey Tommy, what's wrong?" Rosie asked.

"Oh nothing, I'm not having a very good day." Tommy replied.

"Well, what happened?" Rosie asked.

"Well, let's see. First, I had to wake up earlier than I wanted to, but that wasn't so bad, as I was spose to go to the zoo today with Phil and Lil and their mommy. I ated my Reptar cereal for breakfast, and me, Phil and Lil played out in my sandbox in the backyard, till it was time to go. That's when it started raining, and it's been raining all day. So we didn't get to go to the zoo. Phil and Lil lefted though, as I was stuck to play all by myself with Dilly, who only wanted to watch Goober and Super Why, two shows I cannot stand. Yet though, I was really looking forward to watching the new episode of Word World, followed by the new Reptar movie, Reptar's Summer Time Aventure. Just as the Reptar movie was spose to start though, when Peter arrived to watch me while Dil went to the doctor's, a funny noise came from the TV and funny dots appeared. Peter toldid me that was static, cuz the satellite signal was corrupted, whatever that means, but if I couldn't watch Reptar no more, it didn't sound good. I asked Peter if we could fix it, and he said we couldn't. He did fix me some lunch, and gave me something new to try, a coconut fresh off a coconut tree. I had me a little glass of coconut milk, which is clear, not like regular milk from the frigerator, and it don't taste like frigerator milk neither. And if that's not the worstest part, the fruit inside the coconut is nice to chew on, but that's about it. It ruined lunch for me, and I'd just about like this day to be…" Tommy stopped mid sentence, as he noticed what Rosie had on the floor in front of her.

"What? What is it?" Rosie asked.

"What's that book you're looking at Rosie?" Tommy asked.

"Oh, this?" Rosie asked, holding up the photo album.

"Uh huh." Tommy replied.

"Oh, it's a book of all sorts of pictures that my mommy and daddy have taken. Right now, I'm looking at pictures they taked of me when we went on the bestest vacation ever, to New York City!" Rosie exclaimed.

"New York City? Where's that?" Tommy asked.

"It's far far away. It's full of big tall buildings, and it's a great place to have an aventure. I should know, as I went on one of the bestest aventures I ever had!" Rosie exclaimed.

"Really?" Tommy asked eagerly, his eyes wide with curiosity and fascination.

"Sounds like you wanna hear the story." Said Rosie.

"Yes, please tell me." Said Tommy.

"Not to worry Tommy, I'll tell you all about it, though I have to ask, have you ever been on a vacation before?" Rosie asked.

"Yes, I have. I went to this place with lots of lights called Slots Vegas. And I too, had the bestest vacation I ever had." Tommy replied.

"Really? I've never been to Slots Vegas. My mommy tells me the king of rock and roll lives there, and peoples play cards all day." Said Rosie.

"Well I don't know about that. I never saw no king of rocks, and yeah I do recall my grandpa playing cards a lot, but I wanna hear about your aventure more. If Peter don't make us stop talking to one another to make me take my nappy, then I'll tell you about my trip." Said Tommy.

"Ok, it's a long story, so I'd make yourself really comfortabler." Suggested Rosie.

Tommy snuggled up with his Reptar doll and leaned back on his pillows with a huge smile, as he held the phone in his other hand, staring at Rosie, as she turned a couple of pages back in the photo album, to a picture of her and her friends on a train. Once she had this picture in front of her, she was ready to tell Tommy her story.

"Are you ready to hear the story?" Rosie asked.

"Uh huh." Tommy replied.

And we'll hear Rosie's story, over the course of the next two chapters, so please, do stay tuned!

Author's Note: The coconut for lunch was inspired by the fact that over my Christmas weekend, I actually tried coconut milk, and the fruit from inside a coconut for the very first time, and sadly, like Tommy here, I agree. It's tasteless, and I like other fruits more, like apples. Yet though, how does coconut taste so sweet as an ingredient, or in coconut ice cream? That's a mystery, that will have to be figured out another day, as sorry, this story about Rosie's New York adventure, won't be giving us the answer to that question.
