So Ven went through the day happy, not knowing the uproar Count Olaf would cause in the next few days.

Principal Nero played his violin horribly again, but Ven didn't sit in the auditorium with disgust and discontent anymore. He sat there thinking about the good things happening right now.

Lil Wayne was a teacher at the school, Terra was ok, Aqua was ok, and most importantly, Georgie was ok.

And the Quagmires sat with content as well, because they finally had a friend at that horrible school.

But Count Olaf sat with a mischievous grin, knowing that his next plan would work perfectly.

"So, when are we going to capture Georgie?" The guy with the hooks for hands asked.

"Tonight, when everyone is sleeping. That way, they won't know that we left. We'll be back by tommorow."

"But what will we do then?"

"We'll let Ventus chase us. He'll get his friends, and then with all of them there, I can steal their fortune."

After the really horrible "concert", everyone went to their classes, and Ven was without his friends.

In science class, Ms. Judd seemed even more strict today. That was because a test was coming.

And this made it even harder for Ven, because all he could think about was what was going to happen next. There would never be a time when Ven ever got the chance to have a normal life with friends and family. There was always going to be something or someone that had to mess it up.

And who was this someone now? Count Olaf. He had to have a plan. But what was it? Was he going to-

"Ventus?"

Ven looked up. Ms. Judd was staring straight at him. Everyone turned around to see him.

"What's the eccentricity of Jupiter?"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"It's 0.84." Mrs. Judd said harshly. "Pay attention next time."

This wasn't good. Ven should have been paying attention to the test coming up, instead he was worrying about his friends.

They were fine anyway. Why did he have to be so anxious?

So for the rest of the class, he payed close attention and didn't think about anything else.

The good thing was that "Chorus" was next. But it really wasn't chorus, because there wasn't going to be a concert. Why? Because there was only 3 students in total.

And everyone else agreed that there were better things to do than watch 3 people sing Lil Uzi Vert songs.

So besides randomly singing, Dwayne let Ven talk to Terra and DJ Khaled.

"You don't have to worry about us, Ven. We're fine. And besides, if we get in danger, Sergeant Hartman can always help."

Ven sighed. "You're right."

"Now go study for that science test." Terra winked.

"Hey, Asahd!" Khaled put the camera to his son. "What do you wanna tell the whole world?"

"Dada!"

"Yes, little boy!"

"Asahd's really cute, y'know?" Isadora remarked.

"I think everyone agrees on that." Duncan replied.

So the 3 went through the day without fear. They laughed, made jokes about Hailey, and talked about how Lil Wayne took so much time into releasing Tha Carter V.

But then Principal Nero came in at dinner to address a message.

"I'm afraid Coach Genghis has left for a while. He'll be back tommorow, but he had to go get some supplies for the next unit in gym class."

Ven and the Quagmires exchanged looks. If Count Olaf was gone, that couldn't be good.

And indeed, he was up to no good.

At the Denbrough's house, Georgie was sitting on his bed, listening to Richard Ashcroft, because why not? Bitter Sweet Symphony was one of his parents' favorite songs. (Although that's by The Verve which broke up, it still counts as Richard Ashcroft.)

Then there came a knock on the window. Georgie got up, confused. When it opened, he kinda panicked.

"Hello, hello, hello, Georgie." Count Olaf's head slowly rose up.

"Who... are you?" Georgie asked.

"I am Count Olaf. Renowned actor, and... Uhh... Line?"

"Your kidnapper." The guy with the hooks whispered.

"No!" Olaf whispered back. "We can't let him know that I'm-"

"Hey! Let go of me!"

The white women had put a bag over his head and started leading him out the window.

"Too late." Olaf said, shaking his head.

The actor and his henchmen put Georgie into the car, and proceeded to go back to the school.
