"...And that's why Logan Paul vines are actually the best ones," explained Quigley. Violet shrugged. "I don't know. Klaus read a book about the Paul brothers at three months old and he doesn't like them very much."

"What? How?"

"I don't know. If you ask me, most of the things he does are pretty unrealistic," she said, building a working oven out of coat hangers and glue. "Thanks for helping me out with my science project, by the way."

"No problem."

Meanwhile, in the nursery, Sunny was hatching an escape plan. She had to get to where Violet and Klaus were and tell them about what she heard. She could just climb through the air vents like she usually did, but they would notice if she was gone for too long.

"Barla, what should I do?" she asked.

"Qwertyuiop," said Barla, which meant something along the lines of "You should disguise a prop as yourself and then go through the vents."

"True," replied Sunny. She looked toward the kitchen. It didn't work last time, but maybe it would this time.

Barla climbed up and retrieved the flour. Sunny used string as the hair and drew a face on it with crayon. She took some string with her, for the later part of her plan.

Soon, they reached the grate on the ceiling of Klaus and Justin's first period classroom. Sunny unscrewed it and lowered Barla down with the string.

"Hey Klaus, what did you get for number- Jesus Christ."

"Huh?"

"Look up," said Ivy, nudging him.

He looked up and gasped. "Sunny! What are you-"

"Shhh," Sunny whispered, putting her finger to her lips. "I have important news."

Klaus looked around to make sure no one was paying attention. "Fine, wait outside. Ivy, I'll be back in a second. Family issues."

When nobody was looking, Klaus slipped out of the classroom and met Sunny and Barla outside. She told him everything.

"Oh god," said Klaus. "I always disliked Sarah Palin but I never thought..."

"Yeah," said Sunny flatly. Klaus shook his head in disbelief. "We have to get Justin and Violet and go to the principal's office."

"Oh no you won't," said a voice from behind them. They spun around and came face to face with Sarah Palin herself. She snapped her fingers and three henchmen emerged from behind her. They were Fernald, Fiona, and Esme.

"Oh, shi-"

The henchman put sacks over the children's heads and everything went to black.
