The three Baudelaire children reached the airport in a matter of minutes.
For the first time, they took a taxi. Count Olaf rushed into the airport,
looking out for his nephew, Fedrick.
"Count Olaf, who are we waiting for?" Klaus asked. "My nephew. Fedrick s his name. Now let s not waste any time and look for him!" "But we don t even know how he looks like," Klaus whispered.
Suddenly, Count Olaf ran over to a boy of around Violet s age. He was strong built, handsome, and had some freckles on his face. His hair was cut short with a little sideburns. Violet, Klaus and Sunny looked at Fedrick with utmost admiration. "How can that guy be so handsome while uncle is so...so...,"Klaus said. "So what?" Violet asked. "So disgusting!" Klaus said. Upon hearing that, the three children laughed. Count Olaf and Fedrick went over to them. "Hi. Think you re Violet. Am I right?" Fedrick asked Violet. "Um, yes. Yes, I am Violet Baudelaire. This is Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire. Guess you know what relationship we share," Violet answered while introducing her sister and brother. "Violet, why s your face so red?" Klaus whispered. "Is that so?" "Fedrick will be staying in my house for two years. He s coming here to do some research. Graduated from a renown school already," Count Olaf explained. Violet felt happy suddenly. She did not have this feeling before. She did not know why either.
Back in the house, Count Olaf showed Fedrick his room while Violet, Klaus and Sunny were told to prepare some tea and snacks for everyone. After settling down, Count Olaf and Fedrick went downstairs to have some tea. "Hm... This cookie is nice. Who taught you to bake it?" Fedrick questioned Violet. Violet did not even know that Fedrick was asking her something. She just continued to stare at him. She pictured in her mind that Fedrick was walking down an aisle with her. Many people were clapping their hands. She was wearing a wedding gown. Fedrick looked so charming.... Then, she went back to reality by Klaus s call. "Violet! Violet! Fedrick s asking you something!" Klaus said. "Yeah? Oh, I m sorry but I did not hear what you say. Can you please repeat?" "That s alright. I was asking you who taught you to bake these cookies," Fedrick said politely. "Oh, I learnt it myself," Violet answered. "Wow, that s quite clever of you," Fedrick replied. Violet s face turned into tomato cheeks.
In the night, after supper, the three children went upstairs to bed. Just then, Klaus said, "Violet, there s a small shopping mall down the road. Do you want to go? I can t sleep," "No, I don t want to go. I m dead beat. Why don t you bring Sunny along so you won t feel lonely? But be sure to look after her and be back by eleven. Okay?" "Okay. Come Sunny, let s go," Klaus said. After Klaus and Sunny had gone out, Violet lay on the bed. She was thinking of Fedrick. However, she gradually fell asleep. Violet was awoken by a knock on the door. She opened the door with sleepy eyes. "Sorry Violet. May I have a chat with you? I can t sleep," Fedrick said. Violet s eyes immediately sprang open. "Sure, I can t sleep too," She lied.
