Chapter Four – Talkin' Trees

Remy and Scarecrow walked down the road for several hours, almost without speaking. Even in this world, Remy found Scott to be intolerable, even if it was in a different way. He spotted a row of apple trees, and decided that he wanted to eat one of them. They did look delicious. Almost too delicious.

Just after he reached out and picked one of the apples, the tree grabbed his hand and took it back, slapping Remy on the hand. "What do you think you're doing!"

"Bella?" Remy said. "You're a tree?"

"And jus' who are you?" The tree said, slapping Remy across the face.

'Definitely Bella. Dis is so not funny.' Remy winced and shrugged. "Remy was hungry and wanted –"

"Y' were hungry?" She exclaimed, slapping Remy again. "Well, how da hell would y'like it somebody come and took somet'ing from y'cause dey were hungry?"

Remy snickered as he dodged another angry slap. "Depends on da type o'hunger, mon amour."

Scott tapped Remy on the shoulder. "C'mon Remy, you don't want anything from them, right?" He asked him, hopefully.

One of the other trees grabbed Scott and shook him violently. "What d'ya mean – he doesn't want mah fruit? Are ya hintin' mah fruit aren't what they oughta be?" Remy frowned and looked for an escape route. 'Rouge a tree? Non! Dis jus' keeps gettin' worse f'Remy!"

"Non! Y'fruit are bon! Remy been wantin' t'touch dem fo'a very long time, Chere!" Remy replied quickly.

Rogue hurled an apple at Remy. "What makes y'think Ah'd let ya touch mah fruit?" She said, angrily.

"Cause y'like dis Cajun." Remy said, throwing her his best puppy eyes, one of which was soon met with another flying apple.

"Get outta here, y'can' have mah fruits!" Rogue yelled as she and Bella began to throw apples at the two men, who ran away quickly. As soon as they were out of reach, Remy removed an apple from his pocked.

"Remy steal what y'don' give him." He said to himself, laughing.
