~Normal POV

"The Queequeg is looking a lot better since Violet started taking over the repairs."

However, as Fiona was walking past the barracks to get to the library she stopped when she heard the soft sound of someone crying. Curious about the noise, she turned and saw the barracks door was open slightly. She opened it more and looked inside to find Violet sitting on one of the many bunk beds crying. Normally when someone is crying it is usually a good idea to try to comfort the person, or sometimes ignore them so they don't feel embarrassed about their tears. In this case, Fiona wasn't sure what the better option was. She and Violet had been rather argumentative with each other since the Baudelaires boarded her submarine; with her stepfather not around she had to take charge as captain and that perhaps meant being... too bossy.

It wasn't that Fiona hated Violet, far from it. She would love to be her friend, but it was clear now that they were both under tough situations of their own; causing them to be rather difficult to get along with. With that in mind, Fiona swallowed her pride and went over to Violet to see what was bothering her.

"Violet?"

Said girl jumped and looked up at her in surprise. "Oh, hi Fiona..." She paused to wipe her eyes. "Need something?"

"No I heard you crying; I just wanted to know what was going on."

Violet then tucked something away in her uniform pocket; it looked like a scrap of paper from a notebook. "I'm fine."

"You're clearly not fine. Look I know we haven't gotten along, but if there's something upsetting you I'd love to at least talk about it."

"I said: I'm fine." Violet was almost glaring at her now with visibly puffy eyes.

Fiona sighed, "Fine, but if you need anything just ask."

She walked out of the room, ignoring the sound of Violet shutting the door behind her, and continued towards the library.

"Sorry."

Fiona blinked in surprise and looked down to see Sunny had found her. Her word translated to, "I'm sorry about my sister, she's in a bad mood right now. She didn't mean anything by it."

"Yeah I can see that," Fiona replied, "Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?"

"All done," Sunny replied, meaning, "I'm finished with my job for now. I wanted to talk to you."

"Ok... come into my office." She took the small girl's hand and led her into the library.

Sunny climbed onto her desk and Fiona sat down in her chair, "So what's the problem?"

"Violet misses Duncan."

"Who's Duncan?"

"Duncan Quagmire," Sunny replied. ("Duncan is a boy she really loves. She won't stop staring at that notebook scrap from him that says, 'D.Q+V.B.' Well I assume that's what it says, I know he carved it into a fish statue so he probably wrote it in his notebook too.")

"Aww what happened?"

Sunny explained how Duncan and Isadora got kidnapped and how they ended up saving them. She then talked about their brother Quigley and how he got separated from the Baudelaires. She didn't know the full details of Quigley's survival story so she wasn't able to explain how he was alive in the first place.

"So Violet is stressed because she misses her boyfriend?"

Sunny nodded and then added, "Klaus misses Isadora. He loves her."
