What Happens Next?

The Famous Quagmire Triplets

Fiona's POV:

It's been a month since the Baudelaires first came back to Prufrock and it has been great. And as silly as it may sound, they've already become like siblings to me. The living together and sharing a room with Violet. I mean, Fernald will always be my big brother but he's so much older than me. And he wasn't always around. I just wish there was a way to get him out of prison earlier. V.F.D. was able to get his sentence shortened by a lot (which I am so thankful for) but I still will only be able to see him through a glass window. For the next five years at least.

But back to the Baudelaires. I was really surprised at how easily the three of us fell into the swing of things. It was only awkward for about a week.

The only thing I would complain about is school. Violet and I were put into the eighth grade due to our lack of proper education recently. Klaus would have probably been put in a lower grade if it weren't for his smarts. I think Violet and I would much rather be in the tenth grade like we're supposed to be.

*******************************************

I was sitting on my bed, studying for an upcoming math test when Violet walked in.

"I just got off the phone with Jacqueline, " she said as she sat at the foot of my bed. She sounded mostly excited but her tone of voice seemed to almost have an edge to it as if she was worried.

"Well, that's nice. What was she saying?" I asked.

"She said that she found the Quagmires, "

The Quagmires.

I didn't know much about the triplets, except that their names were Duncan, Isadora, and Quigley, they had been separated, and the Baudelaires had met Duncan and Isadora at Prufrock and Quigley in the Mortmain Mountains earlier the day they met me. I also knew that they had gone missing and that Jacqueline was looking for them so that they could live here with us. Well, I guess she wasn't looking anymore.

"That's great!" I told Violet.

She nodded.

"So, when is Jacqueline bringing them here?"

"Once they get out of the hospital, "

"The hospital?!"

She nodded again.

"Duncan and Isadora had boarded a Self Sustaining Hot Air Mobile Home with a man named Hector who had been taking care of us in the Village of Foul Devotees, " she started.

"Hector is a volunteer. He went undercover to try and help you and your siblings, " I stated.

"That's what Jacqueline told me. And apparently, Quigley had gotten in contact with Hector and boarded the Mobile Home with them. Then yesterday, it was attacked by crows. Hector sent out an S.O.S. to V.F.D. They crashed into the sea- or maybe it was a large lake. Anyways, it doesn't matter- they crashed and V.F.D. came to rescue them. They were mildly injured so they were taken to the hospital. They should be out in about a week though, "

My eyes were wide. That sounded so scary! I couldn't tell if it was because it was scary, or if it was just my fear of heights talking.

"I hope they're okay, " I said.

"They will be, "

Violet paused.

"Jacqueline said we could visit them if we'd like. They're in stable condition now, " she told me.

"That'd be great! I'm excited to meet them, "

"Good. I'll call Jacqueline and we'll go over to the hospital around lunchtime tomorrow since it's a Saturday, " she said.
