I do not own any part of TSoUE

The Time of a Life

I couldn't understand why it had to be him. Poor Quigley I thought. I couldn't believe that I had just lost him. Maybe I would never see him again. I couldn't think about that.

"It will be okay, Violet," my brother said trying to comfort me. I didn't fell like it would be okay. The one who I loved, he was…was dead.

"It's NOT okay, Klaus. The one I love is gone. Maybe forever."

"Ikviletquiglycganuwill," Sunny said, which probably meant something like, "You'll see Quigley again Violet." It wasn't very comforting though.

I thought about the possibilities of seeing him again. I didn't think I would. It would never happen. As we floated down the river I kept thinking.

What if he was hurt? What if he freezes to death? What if he starves to death?

Then I heard the noise. I looked up. There it was. The self-sustaining hot air mobile.

A ladder was quickly let down to us and we gladly accepted. We started climbing right away, but when we got up to the top we knew we should have stayed in the river.

There waiting for us was Olaf, Esmé, Carmelita, and the two strange people who were even nastier than Olaf.

"Hi, cakesniffers were back," Carmelita said in a voice of victory.

Before we could do anything we were pulled up onto the balloon and were captured.

Esmé who was in the pantry suddenly freaked out. "Oh my gosh! The water chestnuts are all gone. Water chestnuts are in. I am going to die!" Esmé then jumps out of the self-sustaining hot air mobile. Just. Like. That.

The others see her go but they obviously don't care.

"I've been trying to think up a way to get rid of her. I guess my water chestnuts plan worked," said Olaf.

"Well you are a genius Olaf," said the lady.

Blah, blah, blah, they just kept talking and talking, so I'm going to go somewhere in the story.

"Ohhhhhhhh! I look Soooooooo pretty. Now you cakesniffers have to watch me dance," Carmelita exclaimed.

"We'll watch you Carmelita," said Violet trying not to upset her," But first what are your supposed to be?"

"It's just like a cakesniffer to not know that I am an astronaut-ballerina-flying- pretty princess- doctor," she said looking proud, "So now you have to watch me."

Of course the Baudelaire's didn't want to watch Carmelita, but they had to. So while she wasn't looking they scraped the last of the lint from their pockets and stuck it in their ears. And now, because I know that you don't want to suffer any of the pain the Baudelaire's went through I will take you to another place in the story.

Now in the other compartment on the balloon were Isadora and Duncan Quagmire. They were trapped in a cage that was covered with some sort of think material that they could not see through.

Suddenly there was a horrible noise. It sounded like a dead cat dying. They knew at once that it was Carmelita performing again. They wondered if Hector could hear the noise, since he had fallen out of the self-sustaining hot air mobile.

They wondered if they would ever see the Baudelaires again.

Suddenly the noise stopped and the cage was opened. For a split second light came in. Then someone else was pushed into the cage with them and it was dark once again.
