Chapter69- Suspicions and Confrontations pt3
Thought I'd do a part three for this chapter.
The New Years party at VFD Headquaters was amazing. The Quagmire and Baudelaire children had spilt round the room so that they could speak and meet other volunteers promising that they would meet back up in time for the midnight fireworks. The boys all wore a tux though they quickly discarded the jackets and both girls wore stunning dresses Violets was a lovely shade of gold and Isadora's was red with black lace over the top.
"Excuse me Miss Baudelaire, may I say how lovely you look this fine evening" someone said by way of greeting "I'm Dr Montgomery Montgomery, but you can call me Monty I must say you look extraordinarily like your mother"
"Dr Monty how lovely to meet you, you work with snakes right, how is the search for that one extraordinary species going" Violet replied.
"It is going wonderful just last week I found an unknown species, now may I say what a lovely couple you and young Mr Quagmire make" Monty said Violet blushed and smiled.
"Thank you Dr Monty but he and I aren't a couple" Violet told him.
"Oh hush now bambini I won't say anything" Monty chuckled.
…
Klaus and Isadora had been cornered by Josephine Annwhistle who began talking to them about grammar and how fierce and formidable she was and her house on the edge of a cliff, they also met Ike her husband who had ran Annwhistle Aquatics with his brother and their assistant who had defected to the fire starting side after burning the center down because of something his brother was working on in the grotto below.
….
Quigley was chatting up a storm with Captain Widdershins and his daughter having already conversed with several other volunteers telling about his passion for cartography and how he enjoys map drawing. "Well the Queequeg is somewhat short staffed so to speak, we have not cartographer on board and from what I have heard from you and your parents you would be very well suited for the job."
"Thank you Sir" Quigley said as music began he turned to Fiona and smiled "Miss Widdershins may I have this dance?" Fiona laughed and accepted. The Captain was just happy that his daughter was having a good time.
…
Duncan stood next to the bar watching the party goers he smiled as he caught sight of his girlfriend talking with Dr Monty whom he had briefly spoken with eairler "lovely isn't she looks just like her mother" a female voice said he looked over at the speaker and saw a vaguely familiar woman standing there accompanied by a man.
"Kit Snicket and this is my husband Dewy Denouement" she said introducing herself and her companion.
"Duncan Quagmire and yes she is lovely one of a kind" he responded. Dewy laughed "oh you are lots like your father I must say."
"I'd disagree there darling" Kit said "he's more like his mother, your brother Quigley however is a lot like your father was at your age full of mischief and very charming"
"Yes that about sums him up" Duncan confirmed.
….
A majority of the teens meaning, Klaus, Isadora, Quigley and Fiona who he introduced them too met up a couple of mintues before midnight to see the fireworks
"Have either of you seen Violet or Duncan" asked Isadora.
"Is Violet wearing a gold dress?" asked Fiona
"Yes why you asking" said Klaus. Fiona pointed to the the balcony below them "well then your missing siblings must be down there look"
Sure enough they could see their respective siblings on the balcony below as the count down began.
Stroke of midnight Duncan kissed Violet on a balcony full of people under fireworks and stars both completely unaware of their sibling watching them in glee and the exchange of coins that went between Quigley and Isadora.
