Chapter 2: A Week Later
Linguini had asked for the week off and Skinner reluctantly gave it to him. He sat at his table in his house thinking about the little chef. He regretted yelling at him. Then, the doorbell rang.
"I wonder who that could be" he said to himself. He got up and went to the door. At first, he didn't see anyone until he looked down. The little chef was standing happily at his doorstep. Linguini scooped his friend up and hugged him as best as he could.
"What? No hug for me" a woman's voice called. Linguini looked up. A red headed girl came out from behind the wall. She was tall, slim, and had brown eyes. Linguini gently put his friend down and gave the woman a big hug.
"How Lexi" he asked. Lexi indicated towards Remy and then explained the whole situation. Linguini just stared opened mouthed at her.
"Close your mouth Fred, you're supposed to be the older one but I act more mature than you. Oh and mom wanted me to give you this" Lexi told him. She handed a letter to him. Fred read it and looked as if he was about to faint. After a while, he recovered.
"I-I'm the son of Gusteau" he stammered. Remy looked up surprised and Lexi looked down at him. She smiled and tried to take the letter from Fred's hand. Remy ran up her shirt and bit his hand making him release the letter.
"And I'm the daughter. I wonder why mom never told us" Lexi said. Fred stared at her and Remy looked at both humans in confusion.
"I don't know. Come on in you guys. You know where your bed is little chef, nothing's changed since you left" Fred told him. Lexi rolled her eyes.
"His name's Remy, Fred. Or shall I say Alfredo" she said. Fred growled. He hated the name Alfredo. Lexi laughed when she saw her brother's face.
"You can hear me" Remy asked her. Lexi nodded.
"You and every other animal. I'm what you call an animal whisperer" she explained. Remy began to think hard. He smiled brightly at her and walked in. The two began to talk. Then, the doorbell ran again.
"Colette? What are you doing here" Fred's voice asked.
"Well, Linguini, I heard someone was back and I also wanted to see my boyfriend" Colette answered. Lexi didn't hear the last part. She went to the door and gasped.
"Lette? Is that really you" she asked. Colette turned around and saw Lexi looking at her. Lexi was holding Remy in the palm of her hand. She accidentally squeezed him and he screamed in fright (AN: I love when that happens in the game, it's so funny because you see his eyes bulge).
"Lexi" Colette asked. They just stared at each other for a moment and then embraced each other. Fred just stood there in confusion. He didn't think that they two knew each other.
"I can't believe it's you. I haven't seen you since we were in high school. I certainly didn't expect you to be in love with my big brother" Lexi said. She had a huge smile on her face like Colette.
"He's only a year older than you Lexi. I believe he was sick every time I came over and we couldn't go into his room" Colette said. Remy watched the conversation, he was definitely interested.
"Yeah. I remember the first time we met. A kid was bullying me and I ran behind you for cover when he threw sand at me. It hit you and you were going to hurt him until I stopped you" Lexi said. Colette laughed.
"Then a teacher came over and I almost got in trouble, but you vouched for me and I was off the hook. What have you been doing anyway" she asked. Lexi glared at her.
"The last time you saw me was graduation. I wanted to go into law enforcement, I've been doing that ever since. You know me" she said. Colette laughed again. It was going to be a good day, but nobody knew that Remy and Lexi held a big secret from them.
