This is set during The Austere Academy and possibly after it. So if you haven't read it.. This won't make sense.

Note: This was before the mishap with the Quagmires.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters except the ones I might possibly make up.

"Memento Mori.. Remember you will die." read the eldest Baudelaire, Violet. "How welcoming.." said the middle Baudelaire, Klaus, sarcasticly."Agbo." replied the youngest Baudelaire, Sunny. It meant something along the lines of "I agree Klaus." The three children walked up the crooked sidewalk. A girl about the same age as Violet pushed her aside. "Step aside Cakesniffer! I'm walking here!" she said in an unpleasant, annoyed tone. Two of her 'sidekicks' followed her. The word 'sidekicks' here refers to 'a person that uses others into thinking they are friends.' The two sidekicks hissed as they passed the Baudelaires. They watched the girl cross the playground and pushed some younger kids off the slide. "Why must we have to come back here a second year?" asked Klaus. "At least we aren't staying in the orphan shack anymore." said Violet trying to lighten the mood. "Hurgy?" asked Sunny which meant something like "So who did move in there?" "Hmm... I'm not sure Sunny. Maybe we'll meet them at lunch. They could be friends with us and the Quagmires!" exclaimed Violet.

They walked inside the historic building, into the hustle and bustle of even more kids. A little girl who resembled Carmelita Spats, or the girl about the same age as Violet who pushed her aside, walked up to them. "Excuse me, have you seen my sister Carmelita? She looks like me except older." They found the girl more pleasant and well, all together nicer than Carmelita. "Rose!" shrieked Carmelita. "Don't talk to the orphans!" she said with a smug look on her face. Rose gasped in horror and hurried off with Carmelita. "It looks like everything's the same." replied Klaus grimly. "Well, let's find out where we are staying." said Violet pulling out a map. "Sunny and I are in room 304 together with a girl named Victoria. And Klaus, You are in room... 207 with two boys.. Oh! One is Duncan, and the other is named Samuel." "I guess the rooms aren't that bad then." said Klaus. He hoped he was right.

Have you ever gotten that feeling where everything seems to be working out perfectly for you then everything goes terribly wrong? I am sorry to say that's what happens in this story. If you do not wish to continue, I suggest that you either click the little back arrow button at the top of the page, or the red 'X' button on the opposite side. You have been warned. This reminds me of when my friend and I planned the perfect day. We were to go roller-skating, to a happy movie, then a picnic at a park. We thought it was the greatest plan. The next day came, it was raining. I thought we could still go, just not on a picnic. She decided to ditch me. Well, enough of my sorrows. Back to the Baudelaires.

The bell rang and everybody hurried to their dorms. "Well, I guess we'll see you later Klaus!" said Violet. "Rekhae." agreed Sunny. They got to the top of the stairs and Klaus headed down the hallway while Violet and Sunny made their way up another flight of stairs. "Room 304." said Violet and walked in with Sunny in her arms. There was a girl standing on her bed putting up a poster. "Oh hello." greeted Victoria. She was wearing a black and pink pinstriped dress. (A/N She doesn't know Esme yet.) "I'm Victoria. Are you Sunny and Violet?" she asked. "Yes. I'm Violet and this is Sunny." she said, sitting Sunny down. "Ashek." said Sunny waving. "What did she just say?" asked Victoria with a confused face. "She's just saying hi. She doesn't speak much English yet." Sunny detested to this by stomping her foot. "I was just putting up pictures. You're welcome to." explained Victoria. Violet Baudelaire had a little shock of hope. "Maybe our lives are looking up." thought Violet.

As I write this, all I want to do is jump into the story and tell poor Violet that it is not. As I warned you before, this story contains no, or VERY little happiness. You are still welcome to push the back button or the exit button.
