A Series of Unfortunate Events One Shots

Shopping

Alternate universe; begin!

~Isadora's POV

I was at the store today shopping for birthday presents for my brothers. We're triplets and we're turning 16 soon, and mother and father insisted that we buy presents for each other. I already found a gift for Duncan, but Quigley was the hard one to buy for. He's pretty picky. I figure buying him some art supplies for making his maps would be a safe choice. I only had so long to find presents for them and get home so I could wrap and hide them. Duncan was on a date with his girlfriend Violet, and Quigley was working part time on a currently docked submarine; no idea why he had been so interested in working there. I continued looking through the shelves to see which ones would be best. But after several moments I felt someone small bump into my leg.

"Oh, I'm sorry miss! I didn't mean to do that," A little voice said.

I looked down to see a little blonde girl with her hair in a ponytail; she couldn't have been older than 2. I smiled at her, "It's alright you didn't hurt me or anything." She was surprisingly articulate for such a young girl.

"You're pretty, and you look familiar," She said.

"Thank you for saying so," I replied chuckling lightly.

"You look similar to the boy that my sister Violet is dating."

"Oh, you're Violet's little sister? Duncan told me she had two siblings."

"I'm Sunny Baudelaire!"

I shook her small hand. "Well it's nice to meet you Sunny; I'm Isadora Quagmire. Duncan is my brother."

She grinned at me, showing off her teeth, "I have a brother too."

"Sunny there you are!" We both turned to see a tall boy with glasses quickly run up to Sunny and lean down to hug her.

"Don't scare me like that! Do you have any idea how worried I was?"

"I'm sorry, Klaus, I was going to come right back."

He sighed, "Please don't wander off on your own, mother and father would kill me if I lost you."

I snickered a bit and Klaus stood back up and turned his gaze to me. I couldn't help noticing that he was actually cute... very cute...

He blushed sheepishly, "I'm sorry about my sister bothering you; she wandered off without me and I've been looking all over for her."

"She wasn't bothering me, and apparently we would have met eventually anyway. I'm Isadora Quagmire; my brother Duncan is dating your sister Violet."

He smiled shyly, "I'm Klaus Baudelaire and uh, yeah Duncan mentioned he had a sister."

Sunny giggled quietly and added, "He didn't say she'd be so pretty, huh Klaus?"

I held back laughing as poor Klaus' face went even redder at the comment. I swear I heard him mutter, "Sunny be quiet..." I happen to know for a fact that your siblings can always tell when you're interested in someone. I was there when Duncan met Violet and he was a nervous wreck, much like Klaus was here.

"Not like I'm one to talk, he's so cute I might be blushing too..."

Klaus cleared his throat before saying, "It's um, nice to meet you Isadora, but Sunny and I need to get back to shopping or else our mom will get upset that we didn't finish our chore."

I giggled, "I understand."

"Thank you for keeping her in one place though so I could find her."

"You're welcome."

"I think my brother thinks you're pretty," Sunny commented.

Klaus looked embarrassed, "I do not!" He then quickly tried to correct himself by stammering, "Not that I don't think you're pretty... because you are... I just didn't say... um... Sunny let's get going; we have to get home before mom does."

He quickly grabbed Sunny's hand and started walking away with her. I was definitely blushing hard now. He called me pretty! Ok there's no way I can let this chance go, he's too adorable.

"Klaus wait!" I walked up to him and pulled my pitch black notebook out of my pocket. With a shy smile I wrote something on a page, tore it out, and handed it to him. I winked at him before walking away to continue my task.

~Klaus' POV

I watched Isadora walk away as my heart was beating a mile a minute. I was sure that I had successfully embarrassed myself to the point of no return, but then I looked at the paper she gave me: it had a little poem on it.

I can't help but feel this meeting must be fate; you're awfully cute and I'd love to go on a date.

Under the couplet was her phone number.

Before we left the store, after getting the requested items we were here for to begin with, I bought Sunny a toy to thank her for helping me out. I'm usually completely hopeless when it comes to girls.

I never thought that my 2 year old sister would be such a great wingman.

~The End!

Short, but hopefully cute! This is based off an OTP prompt and I thought it worked great with Kladora! Bye!
