So... Klaus and Violet just got fired right? Cause this chapter goes after that one. I did put in the right order didn't I? Oh well. Klaus and Isadora combined again! Enjoy!
Isadora
"You didn't have to do that, Klaus," Isadora said as they all walked into her house. Klaus and Violet had just been fired from their jobs.
"Yeah I did," he replied. "I couldn't let you guys get in trouble." They all sat down on the two couches that the Quagmires had. They had brought Sunny, who had to sit on the floor.
"Why'd you guys do it?" Violet asked after a long silence. Isadora looked at her brothers (who were sitting next to her on the three people couch). They each looked down.
"Our boss told us to do it," Quigley finally said after gathering his courage to say it before his siblings. Isadora saw a shocked look come upon the Baudelaire's faces (except for Sunny's, for she was playing cards and wasn't paying any attention to them).
"Why?" Klaus said. Isadora blushed slightly and hoped no one noticed.
"We also work at a store," she said.
"Business was really slow the past couple of days," Duncan spoke up.
"Our boss told us to make the new store lose business so that we could have it," Quigley said.
"We didn't know that you worked there," Isadora said rather guiltily. Klaus and Violet just looked at them. "Uh oh," Isadora said looking out the window.
"What?" Klaus asked as Duncan and Quigley began to share the same face.
"We're dead," Duncan said.
"Unless..." Quigley said looking like he just had a 'brilliant' idea.
"What?" Klaus and Violet yelled.
"Our boss wanted us to go back to work," Isadora started.
"after we finished the job," Duncan finished. The room fell silent.
"Umm... guys?" Violet asked.
"What?" Klaus, Duncan, and Isadora asked in unison.
"Where's Quigley?" Everyone looked around, including Sunny, and saw that Quigley was gone.
A few minutes later, Quigley walked through the front door. Everyone bombarded him asking where he had been. "I'm sorry, okay?" he said with his hands up.
"Where were you?" Isadora yelled.
"I'm sorry, Is!" Quigley said. "I went talk to our boss."
"And?"
"We made a deal," he said kind of nervously.
"And?" Isadora and Duncan both asked impatiently.
"You two are umm..." he let his voice drift off.
"What?" they screamed.
"You two get to do something... fun?" Quigley questioned his last word. His siblings looked at him confused.
The next morning, Isadora, Duncan, and Quigley got up early to go to work. Their boss wanted them there at the same time. The Baudelaires had slept over at their house. They had talked all night long. The triplets barely got any sleep but they still had work. Quigley opened the front door and Duncan walked out. "Ah. Hold on I forgot something. I'll meet you on the sidewalk," Isadora said.
"Okay," Quigley replied walking out the door. Isadora walked into the kitchen and picked up the house's key. She slipped it into her pocket and walked back towards the door. Before she could walk out of it though, something stopped her.
"Isadora?" She turned around to see Klaus. "You going to work?"
"Yeah. We'll be back later though," she replied. "You could stay here if you want. Help yourself to the food too." Klaus walked up to her. He embraced her in a hug. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god, she thought.
"I missed you," he whispered into her ear. Isadora blushed.
"I missed you too," she whispered back. They separated and Isadora walked away. She met Quigley and Duncan on the sidewalk and started walking to work.
"What'd you forget?" Quigley asked.
"Key," she answered.
"Are you sure?" Duncan asked.
"What?" she asked confused.
"You sure you didn't forget something else? Like... a certain Baudelaire you always write about?" Duncan asked mischievously.
"Duncan what are you talking about?" Quigley asked.
"Geez Quig! You are so oblivious!" Duncan yelled.
"Shut it, Duncan!" Isadora yelled.
"What if I don't wanna stop talking about the little poems you write about."
"What'd you do?" Duncan started whistling as he pulled something out of his pocket. "Is that my notebook?" Isadora yelled.
"Maybe." Isadora's face went red with anger. Duncan ran. Isadora ran angrily after him. Quigley just followed, clueless. They ran all the way to work. When they got into the store, Isadora and Duncan were panting. Quigley just looked at them shaking his head.
"Good morning!" their boss said walking up to them. "Quigley go ahead and start working at the cash register. We got some customers today. Duncan and Isadora please follow me."
"He's rather happy today," Isadora whispered to Duncan. She put her anger away for later.
"I wonder what's going on," Duncan whispered back. They both shrugged as their boss stopped at the back of the store.
"Here we are!" he said. The siblings looked at each other and thought the same thing. I'm gonna kill Quigley.
Klaus
Klaus watched Isadora walk up to her brothers on the sidewalk before he closed the door. What happened yesterday? he thought. Why did I do that? Violet was counting on that job for money. I messed it up. All because of these feelings. Klaus walked into the kitchen and helped himself to some cereal. Duncan let him sleep in his room that night. They talked even after everyone else fell asleep. Klaus was surprised when he had brought up Isadora during their conversation.
"So... do you like Isadora?" he asked.
"What?" Klaus looked at the triplet.
"I saw how tight you were hugging her." Klaus blushed.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he answered.
"Oh come on! Can you just answer the question. Do you like my sister or not?"
Klaus remembered the conversation. He blushed just thinking about. He had felt so stupid after he told Duncan his answer. "I don't know, Duncan. I really don't know."
"Klaus?"
"Oh. Good morning, Violet."
"You okay? Where're the Quagmires?" she asked.
"Work." Violet sat down next to Klaus. They looked at each other knowing what the other was thinking. "I'm sorry. I messed up the whole work idea."
"It's okay Klaus. You protected our friends. It's perfectly fine. We'll find other jobs," Violet assured him. After Sunny got up, the eldest Baudelaires went on a walk to look for other jobs. What they found though, was not good. All over telephone poles and walls, were signs. Signs with a picture of two people on it. Signs with the saying 'Don't hire these people!' on them. Signs with the eldest Baudelaires on them.
Yay! Finally a longer chapter! Or at least it looks like it! Are you happier about that? I hope your happier about that. I know I am! I need an idea for what Duncan and Isadora have to do! Please review! Thanx! :D :) XD ;) ;D
