Disclaimer: I will tell you one time, and only one time: I do not own ASOUE!

Chapter 1:
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire were stuck on an island which once held civilization, but all left to seek a better civilization to escape a deadly disease that a vile, evil man had given them. This man was named Count Olaf. Count Olaf followed the children every where, bringing them misery and woe. To keep me from telling to a very long story about misery and woe, I will shorten it by saying: He died in the end, and this made the children very grateful. A woman, who was a friend of the Baudelaires named Kit Snicket, had died giving birth, so the Baudelaires were now officially the guardians of this child whom they named after their mother, Beatrice.
It was a clear cloudless day, and Violet had just stepped outside. She looked around for a minute-trying to remember what day it was, but couldn't. "Klaus," she said when her brother stepped outside. "You wouldn't happen to know what day it is, now would you?"
He frowned, and wrinkled his brow with concentration. "Its Decision Day." He finally said.
"The one day of the year that the coastal shelf floods." He reminded her. Violet smiled at her brother. "Good. Now I can get the boat on the water so we can go. Are Sunny and Beatrice still asleep?"
"I should say so." Klaus said. "When I woke up they were. Do you want me to wake them up?" He asked. Violet said, "Yes, please. I want to get a head start, so ask Sunny if she can make a quick breakfast. There's no telling when the shelf will flood and I want to be ready for it."
Klaus smiled. It was typical of his sister to rush things and he was used to it…though not as much as he was used to her inventions. "Sure." He said. And with that he turned and went inside the tent. Violet rushed over to the boat that was secured into the sand. Then, with all her might, she pushed it into the water. Then she set the anchor down to the bottom of the water. Satisfied, she walked back into the tent.
Sunny was surprisingly almost done cooking, and Klaus was feeding Beatrice her bottle.
"I got the boat on the water so we should be sailing after breakfast." said Violet. "Good because I just finished the cooking." Sunny said.
The children ate their breakfast quietly. Not because they are usually quiet, but because they were thinking about what would happen to them when they would set sail. They weren't sure what to expect-either they could die out in sea, or reach civilization, where they were considered criminals and probably everyone was on the lookout for them.
The children finished their meal, and then gathered things they wanted to take along with them. Then they went on board. Violet lifted the anchor, and set the masts. They were now on their way to expose themselves into the world.
(A/N: Sooo what did you think of it? Yeah, I know it sounds similar to the ending of the last book but this was all I had! I promise the 2nd chapter will be better! And yeah, its short. Sorry! Anyways, READ AND REVIEW!!! I need at least 5 reviews to upload!
