A Series of Unfortunate Events One Shots

That Night

Being totally honest in how the scene should have gone. Begin!

~Normal POV

"I'm surprised that a girl like you knows how to pick a lock."

"You'd be surprised how often it comes in handy," Violet looked up and noticed that Duncan was watching what she had been doing with the rope they stole, "This knot is called the Devil's Tongue; it was invented by female Finnish pirates in the 15th century."

Duncan smiled a little, "Will it hold?"

"It should," Violet replied tiredly.

To the side Sunny was making the fake glasses for Duncan's disguise, Isadora was working on her hair, and Klaus was working on the fake Sunny doll.

"If only Quigley were here," Duncan said quietly, "I know he'd be willing to dress up as a baby to help you guys."

Violet gave him a sympathetic look, "We'll do fine with what we have."

Isadora finished fixing her hair to look like Violet. She gave a nervous smile, clearly afraid of what might happen tonight, and asked, "How do I look?"

Klaus immediately looked up and hesitated before responding. "Different. Which is good; I mean not that you didn't look good before I mean you do...you did... you do look... uh Sunny how are those glasses coming," He quickly turned away a blush covering his cheeks. Isadora smiled shyly at his adorable stammering and inability to string together a sentence; her own face turning pink.

Violet and Duncan smirked at the two before turning their attention back to their tasks. They only had so much time to get this plan finished before Olaf or one of his troupe members came looking for them. It had been Duncan's idea to do this risky, dangerous plan. And unfortunately the Baudelaires had no choice but to go through with it. Duncan and Isadora were going to risk their lives tonight for them; what a brave and noble deed. Once they finished putting together the necessary items for their plan they all stood up, ready to put their plan into action.

Violet gave Duncan a sad look, "You guys can still back out now... we can find another way to pass the test."

"We want to do it. We're not just going to stand by and watch you get expelled," Duncan replied.

"You guys were the first students at this school to ever be nice to us," Isadora added.

The five of them fell silent at that. Isadora looked down quietly, wishing she hadn't spoken such an awful truth.

Violet looked at Duncan and felt a few tears sting her eyes. "If something happens- if we never see each other again-" Duncan stepped forward and interrupted her by grabbing her hand gently.

"Nothing will go wrong," He said with a reassuring smile, "I promise Izzie and I will be at the exams tomorrow."

Violet gripped his hand as if he would vanish out of existence if she let go and did something that she was scared she'd never have the chance to do again. She stood on her toes and gave him a soft kiss. Duncan Quagmire was the most perfect man she'd ever known and this might have been her only chance to do this before everything went wrong, as her insides were telling her it would. Duncan kissed back gently but also poured all his own hidden feelings into their brief romantic moment. After several moments, that felt like an eternity to the two young lovers, they pulled apart and smiled weakly at each other.

Duncan wrapped his arms around Violet in a tight hug, and spoke softly in her ear, "I hope I get another kiss like that when I do see you again."

"You mean 'if'-"

"No, I mean 'when.' Have faith in your favorite journalist, Violet," Duncan replied chuckling softly before letting go of her.

Their siblings didn't notice what had happened, Klaus and Isadora were too busy paying attention to each other, or so they thought as Sunny had noticed. The small girl tiredly watched her older siblings solemnly say good-bye to their "secret" loves.

"Please let them come back," Sunny thought to herself; though she obviously had no way of knowing whether or not her prayers would be answered.

Klaus gave Duncan the fake set of glasses and Violet went to pick up Sunny for them to prepare to leave. It was better if the Baudelaires left first to hopefully get back to the shack undetected.

Klaus handed Isadora the completed spyglass, "Here Izzie, take it. If something goes wrong you might need a spyglass..."

Isadora smiled at him, "I don't think anything will go wrong; we'll see you Baudelaires before long." She stood on her toes and kissed him on the cheek. Klaus blushed.

As the Baudelaires started walking out of the library to go study Violet smirked at her brother.

"What was that," She asked teasingly with a soft chuckle.

"A couplet..." Klaus replied hastily.

In the library, Duncan turned to his sister with a smirk, "What was that?"

"A couplet..." Isadora said shyly, her cheeks visibly pink.

Duncan chuckled and grabbed the rope for the fake Sunny doll, "Well, Izzie, I think Klaus might want more of your 'couplets' for sure."

"Oh, shut up; I saw how you've been looking at Violet for weeks."

"How I look at Violet is my business not yours."

"Right because it's not like she's going to be my future sister-in-law or anything."

"Because you're already planning your wedding to Klaus?"

Isadora shoved him playfully, "I said shut up! Now let's just go before you embarrass me more!"

Unfortunately, none of them had known in those final moments of bliss with each other how very wrong their plan would go. But that was ok in the end... because they would find each other and they all made a vow that nothing would tear them apart again.

~The End

Just something I put together to have a new one shot. It's not much but I wanted to do it. Bye!
