A/N: Sorry the last chapter was somewhat short. I'm sad to say it was due to the fact that Olaf took the computer I was typing it on and smashed it into the nearest wall. However, Tess, being the well-read person she is, used the flashlight I fashioned from a lightbulb, battery, and a few paperclips to send out the 'S.O.S' sign through our window...

Chapter Two
The thing that was surprising the Baudelaires wasn't a bear, person, or even a three headed monster from a distant planet come to take their tonsils. It was a pair of voices singing an odd yet cheerful song. They both sounded female, and we're getting closer with every second. Klaus was suprised anyone could sound so cheerful. Sunny was suprised anyone was out here. But Violet was possibly the most supised, because two things hit her all at once. She now knew where she had heard V.F.D's motto before, and she knew one of the voices. The children sat there in awe as the slightly deeper voice of the two sung by herself.
" We'll grab you by the ankles
Where our mark is to be made.
You'll soon be doing noble work
Although you wont be paid..."
The voice that sounded familiar to Violet finished.
"When we drive away in secret,
You'll be a volunteer.
So don't scream when we take you
The world is quiet here -- OHMYGOSH!"
The 'Ohmygosh' the girl blurted out, of course, wasn't part of the song. It was out of pure shock that sitting there, was a person she had not seen in a very long time. The utter stranger to the younger Baudelaires ran up and tightly embraced their sister, who hugged back in joy that they weren't alone still. " VIOLET!" The girl squealed, getting drenched herself from hugging the other girl. Violet was smiling, whilst Sunny and Klaus sat there, waiting for their sibling to tell them what on earth was going on here.
"Lily! Is it really you?? It can't be!" Violet cried, finally releasing and looking over the other girl. If it was her, she had grown a lot since they had last met. Her hair was longer and a bit darker, and she had budded from a cute seven-year-old into a lovely fourteen-year-old, much like she had. Lily and Violet had known one another when they were younger, as their teachers used their names as a sort of pun and paired them with one another for every group project. But, during the summer after they met, Lily moved away to a bigger house away from the Baudelaires, and despite she was in the same city still, she left Violet's school and they lost touch. Another girl whom had blonde hair and pale olive green eyes looked over them, looking as sunrise as Klaus and Sunny looked. Violet finally noticed and cleared her throat.
"This is Lily. We used to be quite close friends... you may remember
her Klaus. Lily and Lily's friend, this is Klaus and our baby sister Sunny."
Her brother shook his head. "Nope... I don't remember you Lily. It's nice to meet you though."
"And this is Tess everyone. So, Violet. Care to explain how you got here?"
"Not really, but I will..." The eldest Baudelaire sighed heavily, and told the tale of her and her siblings misfortune, from the day at Briny Beach all the way to where they were now. Lily and Tess would occasionally look to one another, nodding grimly. I'm sad to say that the children's sudden turn for the better was going to soon turn back for the worst, no matter how things may seem for the next few chapters of this fic. If I were you, I'd drop it now and pretend that The Baudelaires were reunited with all three Quagmires, and Lily and Tess and everyone lived happily ever after. I know better than this, but they youngsters certainly didn't...
********
A/N: Oh dear. Im afraid I am going to be cut short once again, as Someone is banging on our door and Tess has informed me it is a man with hooks rather than hands...
