The Perished Penthouse

An unfortunate fic written by Lightofloveandhope Part 3

The three children waited a few minutes, but no one answered the door. Violet knocked on the door again, but still no answer. "Strange." Violet said. "They probably weren't expecting us." Klaus replied "Tumo!" Sunny shrieked, which probably meant "But I thought Mr. Poe made arrangements with them this morning!" All of a sudden the door slowly opened to reveal a man and woman both with black hair and green eyes. "We're sorry for the wait, children!" the man said. "We were...uh...making a cake in honor of your arrival. Come to the kitchen and sit down so you can eat some." Now, as you know, when you know someone is lying, you best keep it to yourself instead of pointing it out to the person that is lying. Violet understood this, so she kept to herself about it. Klaus knew it was impolite to point things like that out to someone, so he kept his mouth shut. Sunny yelled, "Daxert" which probably meant, "I know you're lying!" but no one understood and Violet didn't bother to translate. They walked to the kitchen to see a store-bought cake, all cut up and ready to be eaten. The Baudelaires sat down and began to eat. "Mmmmm this is good!" Violet exclaimed. "I agree!" Klaus said. "Mmmmmm!" Sunny shrieked which probably meant "Mmmmmm! Yummy!" "You're right! It is good!" the man said "And by the way, my name is Kristopher and her name *points to his wife* is Kris." All five laughed as they introduced themselves at such a time. such a time of.. joy. Yes, joy was finally in the Baudelaire's lives for one of the fewest times it their lives. Sadly, however, the fun wouldn't last for Olaf was unbelievably close to them.
