Ignore my muse, on to Chapter 2!

Chapter 2: Help From the Kitchen

"So...you want me to boil hundreds of eggs, dye them different colors,
and then have you hide them all over Vale?"

"That's about the size of it."

"And then you want me to make bunny-shaped chunks of chocolate for
everyone to eat after all of the eggs are collected?"

"Yup!"

Garet stared at Picard. "Alright, I always thought you Lemurians were a
little strange, but now I can truthfully say that you're so far off of
your rocker your on someone else's."

"Oh, c'mon, Garet!" Jenna whined, latching onto his arm. "It'll be fun!"

"Yeah, please, Garet?" Sheba grabbed his other arm. Torch jumped on his
head and made noise.

"Guys, look, I DO have a kitchen to maintain here in Vale and-" Garet
began to say, but he was interrupted when both girls burst into tears.
"Hey, no crying, now! C'mon...this isn't fair..."

He looked to Picard for help, but the Lemurian just smirked. "I am NOT
getting you out of this mess."

"Fine! Fine! I'll do it!" he yelled.

Jenna stopped crying and smiled at him. "Wow, it ALWAYS works!"

Sheba smiled, too. "You're such a sucker, Garet."

"I know...I know..." Garet groaned.

~*Meanwhile*~

"If I could get into the window, steal all of the recipes, and use them
in my own resturant, I would be an instant success!" Saturos muttered to
himself, perched in a tree and watching the proceedings. "No one would
be able to compair to the great Saturos's Cookie Shop!"

"Newsflash, you don't have a cookie shop," a voice next to him said.
Saturos fell out of the tree. Menardi leaned down and regarded him
cooly. "Oh, please, you're so pathetic. Even those kids think you're
pathetic, do you REALLY think that you can just steal those recipes on
your own?"

"You know...you have a point...wanna help me?" Saturos looked up at her.

Menardi sighed. "Why do I always agree to help you with these things?"

Saturos threw her a bag of gold coins.

"Oh yeah, I remember now..."

~*Back in the Kitchen*~

"Alex, are you working?" Garet yelled.

"Three-hundred-seventy-eight chocolate bunnies down, only a few hundred
more to go!" Alex replied.
