Chapter 1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As they finally met up with Duncan and Isadora, finding Hector missing and no where to be seen. Quigley came along. Duncan and Isadora, in utter shock, couldn't believe their eyes. They stood there, for a while. To let it all sink in.

"How did-" Isadora started to ask, in tears.

"Where were-" Duncan started, letting his voice trail off in the wind.

"Quigley survived. He took a passageway from underneath your house." Violet said, grinning ear to ear for her friends.

They were happy, they just didn't know it exactly yet. Just like I was when I found out where my brother was. Acting exactly like that. Until, later that night, I had recieved a copy of The Daily Puntilicito. That's where I found out what had happened in that Vile Village of VFD.

"Seriously? I mean, he-" Duncan again started to ask. Until Violet stopped him.

"Yes, we all know," Violet said stopping him in mid-sentence, "He survived! He's okay. And was worried sick about you two, searching for his brother and sister. By the way, Isadora, you're awfully quiet."

When Violet used the term "You're awfully quiet." Not saying it's awful. But meaning, "Isadora, it's a time to celebrate! Why aren't you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Just remember things. My parents...Quigley, did they sur-. Did they surv-." Isadora tried to saying, bawling her eyes out.

Quigley walked up to her, gave her a hug. "I'm sorry, Isadora. At least, not that I know of."

"Oh..." Isadora said with a tear and a sigh.

"Just be glad. That you, Quigley, know that they're both safe. And the same with you two," Klaus said, and then looked at Sunny, "I know how you all felt. Just like when I thought that I had lost Sunny."

"Gaw Tou Che! Cavata!" Sunny said, meaning "I thought that you and Violet fell off the mountain! In that horrible caravan!"

Violet smiled brightly at Sunny, while Klaus told the 3 triplets what Sunny had meant. All 3 siblings, of both the Baudelaires and the Quagmires, looked around. Smiling at each and everyone of them. Feeling, finally, like they were all together again.

Duncan was glad to see Quigley, but Violet too. We know that Duncan had a crush on Violet. But what about Quigley? Violet, between the 2 young boys, couldn't decide. She didn't want to hurt anyones feelings. But from the look on her face, on that slippery slope, you could tell she liked Quigley a little more. But could she tell Duncan. Duncan didn't even know about Quigley's feelings for Violet. What would happen here?

"Excuse me, Violet. Will you come with me a moment?" Quigley asked with a cough.
