Chapter 2
Lexi nodded with a wide grin on her face as she ripped open her crisps. "Yeah, let's go back to the hotel," she said and removed a crisp from the bag. Lexi held it to her mouth and licked off all the flavour before eating it, "Yum, yum!"
Natta laughed and took one herself, licking on it the same way Lexi had done. "Hey, we both do the same thing," she said and frowned. "Didn't we talk about this before, a long time ago?" She started thinking, as she remembered something about Lexi eating crisps the same weird way she does.
"Yeah, we did..." Lexi replied, licking another crisp before eating it, "we had a whole list of things that we have in common. Sometimes I think we could be twins, we're so alike!"
Natta nodded thoughtfully. "Yeah, we really are." She stopped, giving a small laugh. "Maybe we are twins?" She took another crisp and licked it clean. "Maybe your dad is in fact my dad or the other way around."
"Or, maybe we are really test tube children of the entire cast of Andromeda," Lexi screamed, suddenly extremely excited, "but not Rev or Dylan...but I don't know why?" She calmed down and tried to think over what she had just said, checking that it all made sense, because it didn't always.
First Natta groaned and wrote this off as another one of Lexi's silly ideas, but when she
thought about it, and it made a lot of sense. She had always felt a bit misplaced and this all-time wanting to move to Canada. "Lexi," she gasped, "you're right! That must be it!"
"I am...?" Lexi asked, still sorting her head out, "Oh I am! Of course I am, because I rule the world." She put her hands on her hips and posed and said in a deep voice, "I am Super-Lexi, dum dum dum!"
Natta didn't laugh, but poked Lexi so she would shut up. "Don't you understand this is serious, silly. This could be the turning point of our lives!" She started walking around, messing with her hair. "Ok, since this is probably what happened, we have to find our real parents!"
Lexi rolled her eyes and dropped her arms to her sides, following Natta with her eyes. "Ok... but how are we going to do that. They are all in Canada, filming Drom, and if ya didn't notice... we're not!"
Natta looked disappointed. "Yeah, you're right... but still how frustrating!" She started walking back to the hotel with her head hanging and her good mood suddenly gone. "We're never gonna meet our real parents," she complained.
Lexi sighed, watching her friend's head drop. She didn't like seeing Natta upset, there had to be a way to get to Canada. Lexi wasn't going to let her possible sister down. "Wait..." she said, and frantically started digging through her pockets till she found her purse. She dived inside and pulled out the credit card, held it high above her head and grinned. "Have no fear, it's Super-Lexi to the rescue!"
Natta looked at the little card and her mouth opened in a gasp. She had totally forgotten about that. "Oh my god," she said, "we could really do it!" She shook her head slightly. "This is so unreal," she commented. C'mon, let's get to the airport!"
Smiling at her genius, Lexi grabbed Natta's hand and dragged her to the nearest Taxi and pushed her in. "To Canada!" She screamed. The taxi driver looked at her strangely, "Oh, I mean... to the airport!"
Natta giggled as the driver stared at them. He started to drive even though he probably thought they looked a little young. He started asking them questions about where they wanted to go, seeming to have a very hard time with the english. Natta let Lexi answer until they were there and she said, "Tack så mycket, det var trevligt att du ville prata engelska med oss." (Thank you very much, it was nice that you wanted to speak english with us.)
Then they ran out before the taxi driver had a chance to say something.
