Chapitre 1: Un Nouveau Rêve D'amour

A/N: I originally wrote this for my own satisfiction, but after my friends have read this fanfiction, they wanted me to publish it on WattPad, so that's what I'm starting to do. I hope you enjoy it!

It has been only 4 months since their bistro, La Ratatouille opened, and people are already seeking for new menu. What to do... what to do... Remy has looked up various ingredients and went into a deep thought. He was deciding what type of new menu he should come up with all the ingredients in front of him. Even after the last diner left, Remy was still thinking what to make besides soup, ratatouille, and beef steak.

"Hey little chef," Linguini called, "I'm gonna close the store now, are you going to stay here a little longer to think?"

Remy nodded as he faced him and flipped through the pages.

"All right. See you later, little chef!" Linguini said as he left.

"Now what to do..." Remy said to himself as he stood in front of all the ingredients in front of him. Remy sighed as he reread the orders for today. He kept flipping them and noticed that so many customers ordered steak today. Then he had an epiphany. "Hmm, what if I make chicken steak? Sure is not as luxurious as beef, but it should be worth trying!" He said to himself. He wanted to use something besides regular steak sauce he used for the beef steak. What to use that would make the taste unique... chicken is a different type of meat. He thought as he wandered around the kitchen. As he wandered around, he grabbed some onion, dry white wine, white wine vinegar, butter, and some fresh chives. I think these ingredients should do the trick, he thought.

Then Remy felt very tired to think all of a sudden, so he decided to call it for the day and head back to Linguini's house, where he always stayed even after the bistro opened since Linguini provided everything for him when he lived in the apartment. He looked around to make sure everything was off, checked the door to see if it was locked, and exited the bistro through his own exit.

It has been a long day, he thought to himself, What should I eat for dinner? Clam Chowder? Omelette? Mashed Potatoes? Oh, I'm craving soft food tonight.

As he stretched, yawned, and thought about his dinner menu as he continued to walk, a woman suddenly screamed, "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!!"

Immediately, humans tried to hit Remy or stomp on him. Remy tried running away as quickly as possible. Even though he was so tired and ready to fall, his legs kept running around to dodge all their violent attacks. Humans didn't give up either. They didn't want to see any creepy creatures in their sight. Oh, I'm done for... Remy thought as he tripped and rolled around. Then something carried him, took him away from the chaos, and hid under the grate. Remy looked and tried to figure out who was carrying him as he breathed heavily.

"Git?" he asked in amazement, "Is that you?" Git is one of Emile's closest friends. He is known to be the biggest and strongest rat in their colony. He even has the impressive ear tag that is labeled as 'A113'.

"Yes, Remy," Git replied modestly.

"What brings you here?" Remy asked, confused, yet amazed.

"Well, your father told me to be your 'bodyguard' when you head back to that human friend's house. He seemed to be worried about you walking home by yourself since you rarely walk inside the grate." Git replied.

"Oh," Remy said, "but how come I did not know about this? Wasn't he here in the bistro today?" he asked him again.

"He just decided that right after the closing hour," Git replied, "I was just gonna tell you right after he told me but then you left just like that. Luckily I caught up to you and save you from those humans."

Remy now understood the whole situation. Oh thank goodness he saved me, He thought. He was too exhausted to flee at the moment. If Git didn't save him in time, he would be injured or captured by now.

When he finally gathered his thoughts altogether, he just realized that Git was carrying him the whole time. It felt a little warmer every second in his arms. For some reason, Remy felt a little discomfort in his heart and his face was burning. What is this feeling? Remy thought. After few moments of silence, he finally had guts to say, "Git... um... you can... put me... down now..."

"Oh yeah," Git replied has he immediately put Remy down gently, "You must have been startled. Are you okay?"

Remy couldn't say anything. He couldn't even look into his eyes. He just slightly nodded.

"Are you hurt?" Git asked kindly.

That is the nicest tone I heard from him, Remy thought and shook his head no to indicate that he didn't get hurt.

"All right, let's start heading to that Linguini guy's home, shall we?" Git said with a slight smile across his face. Then they started to walk to Linguini's house. Remy still felt his heart beating faster and face burning hotter. What is happening to me? Remy thought as he walked. The walk felt very short for Remy. In no time, they were at the door.

"Well, I should head back too," Git said as he turned.

Remy watched Git go back. "W... wait!" Remy called bravely before he was out of sight.

Git looked back and asked, "What is it?"

"W... would you... stay... for dinner?" Remy said hesitantly, "I... I mean... you saved me... after all... just want to... thank you" Then he suddenly became embarrassed and thought, Oh my goodness, why did I just ask that?

"Sure," Git said, "Why not? You are a great chef after all."

Well, at least he does not feel any suspicion. Remy thought with relief. They both walked in. I hope he doesn't know, Remy thought as he escorted Git into his house. As soon as they walked in, Git's jaws dropped in amazement as he looked around in the house.

"Wow..." he breathed, "What a place!"

"Hey little chef!" Linguini called as he heard the door open. Then he noticed Git who was standing right beside him. "Is that your friend?"

Remy nodded and then he walked towards the kitchen and started the fire to prepare dinner for him and Git.

"I guess that he is your dinner guest," Linguini said as he laughed a little, "I already ate dinner, so enjoy your own and have fun!"

Remy gave him a thumbs up as Linguini went into his room. Remy took out some eggs, mushrooms, bell peppers, and other vegetables from the fridge and put them into a basket that works like an elevator. Since many things are heavy for Remy, he needed to go back and for the to get more ingredients from the refrigerator. Thankfully, the stove is right next to the refrigerator, which makes transportation job easier for Remy. There is a handmade elevator everywhere in the house, whether it's a kitchen, restroom, or any other places that Remy may require object transportation.

Even though Remy has been cooking all day, he did not seem to be very tired when he was whipping, chopping, and flipping. Soon, the omelettes were done for Remy and Git. They both grabbed their dinner and sat down on the windowsill where Remy sleeps in. Then they both started to dig into their food as they looked at the outside view of Paris.

"This is a nice dinner," Git said, "with a nice view," he added as he looked at the Eiffel tower.

"Yeah," Remy said, "I would like to visit the Eiffel Tower someday."

Then they continued on their conversation about the bistro, their rats union, and all the other silly things that Emile has done as they ate their food and looked at the beautiful lights displayed outside the window. Soon, their plates were empty and they both sighed with relief of fullness.

"That was a nice dinner," Git said with delight, "now I really don't want to leave this place today!"

"Well..." Remy started, "would you like to do something else?"

"Gladly," Git said, "what would you recommend me to do?"

"Why don't we... watch a movie together?" Remy offered as he showed the bookshelf full of DVD sets. "Linguini has a lot of good movies."

"Absolutely," Git said without hesitation.

Remy headed to the bookshelf and grabbed the DVD case of Le Chef. "This is my personal favorite," Remy said as he showed the movie case.

"I'll watch that, then," Git nodded.

"Would you like some popcorn while watching this movie?" Remy offered.

"That'd be nice," Git replied.

Then they started to watch as Remy prepared some popcorn for them. Git thought that the movie was interesting. After a while, Git felt something lean against his shoulder as he was chewing on his popcorn. Remy had fallen asleep quietly. Git blushed as his heart started to beat faster. What is this? This is the first time I had this feeling, Git thought as he looked at Remy, who snoozed away. Remy looked so adorable as he was sleeping on his shoulder. Git smiled and put a blanket over him. He continued to watch the movie and eat popcorn as Remy snoozed on Git's shoulder.

When the movie was over, Git carried Remy to the windowsill, who was now in a deep sleep. He gently placed him on the bed, put a blanket over him and sat on the other side of the windowsill where there was a small size cushion for him to sit on.

"After all of that today," Git whispered as he watched Remy sleeping in peace, "he should be tired. Bonne nuit, le petit chef."
