It was pretty much like that every day the Bauds visited the Quags: Isadora welcomed them in, she and Klaus went up to her room and would die laughing at poems, Sunny would watch TV in another room, and couldn't come out until she was absolutely bored (that way she wouldn't overhear Violet and Quigley talking amongst themselves or to Duncan and Laura) and Violet and Quigley would hang out, and in the midst, Duncan and Laura would show up, describe their day, and leave again. But one day was different.

"So Quigley, where're Duncan and Laura at now? They're always someplace or another."

"Yeah," Quigley agreed. "Probably at Opry Mills. That seems like the only place they'd ever be. I think this morning Duncan told us they were going to play Glow Golf."

"Glow Golf?" asked a voice, and Violet and Quigley weren't surprised it was Sunny.

"Sunny, you can't leave unless you're completely bored," Violet said.

"I am," Sunny said. "Quigley what's on?" Violet asked, as Sunny lay in Violet's lap.

Quigley searched TV Guide. "Kids Next Door is on Cartoon Network next," he said.

Violet bent over Quigley's shoulder to read the page.

"It's TV-Y7-FV," she said. "That means you have to be seven or older to watch it."

"How about Blues Clues?" Quigley asked. "On the remote, put in a 3, and then a 7."

Sunny nodded and returned to the guest room across the house.

Once again, in the midst of Violet and Quigley watching TV, Duncan and Laura came inside.

"Hey guys, guess what!?" Laura exclaimed. Duncan was smiling, his jet black hair a bit tousled.

"We won like a thousand prizes!" Laura said. "I got ten thousand points, and I won a pair of Sock 'em Boppers! Actually, two pairs."

"Sounds fun," Quigley said.

Violet frowned to herself. If she had given Duncan a second chance, she could have done all this stuff with him: playing Glow Golf, Sock 'em Boppers, sneaking into horror movies.

Laura continued, "Dunny got five thousand, and he got an inflatable turkey, three glow in the dark yo-yos, a buzzer pen, a 3-D agent code ring, two, actually, a Lamborghini Diablo '76 car kit, and a trick newspaper that has a peephole and mirror to spy on people."

Laura gave Duncan a kiss on the cheek. Duncan blushed. "I love you, Dunny," she whispered.

Duncan just smiled. "This time we've had enough adventures, we'll just stay home."

"Well, we're watching Happy Gillmore," Violet said.

"Cool," Laura said, sitting down on the couch, Duncan following her. He put his arm around her.

All through the movie, Violet felt uncomfortable.

Violet and Quigley excused themselves to see what Klaus and Isadora were doing.

They walked up the stairs and Quigley opened a door.

Klaus and Isadora were laughing like lunatics at a book entitled, Poems to Thrill You, Chill you, and Mill You.

"Hey guys," Isadora said. "These poems are hilarious."

Klaus was clutching his side he was laughing so hard.

Quigley turned to me and shrugged. We went back downstairs.

Duncan and Laura were socking each other to death with their Sock 'em Boppers.

Laura made a hard blow to Duncan's stomach; it was so hard he fell back on the couch clutching his stomach in pain.

"Dunny!" Laura cried.

They hurry over to them. "Duncan, are you okay?" Quigley asked.

Duncan's eyes were squeezed shut. Violet looked at Laura. "What in the name of Jeez did you do?"

"I don't know!" she cried. "We were playing and I accidentally hit him too hard!"

Quigley ran into the kitchen and returned with some ice and let Duncan lay down.

After Duncan was feeling better, Laura escaped Violet and Quigley's grasp and ran to him. "Dunny!" she cried. "Honey, I thought you were badly hurt!"

Duncan stood up and put an arm around her. "My stomach hurt," he said. "You really gave me a blow."

Laura gave him a kiss, this time on the lips. Duncan kissed her back.

Violet and Quigley looked at each other and frowned.

Quigley was embarrassed to see his younger brother kiss a girl, but Violet felt a pang of jealousy. But she still had Quigley.

"We're going to Opry Mills," Laura said, rubbing her fingers across his chest.

Quigley frowned. "Again?"

Duncan nodded. "We're meeting some people there."

With that, the two disappeared out the door.
