One day, the Baudelaires slept over at the Quagmires' house.

No sign of Duncan, or Laura all day.

"What should we eat for dinner?" Quigley asked.

"Let's order a pizza," Isadora suggested.

Violet and Klaus agreed.

"What about me?" Sunny asked. "Is there anything hard I can eat?"

"How about rock candy?" Quigley said, getting a blue one from a box on the kitchen floor.

"Quigley," Violet said, folding her arms and kicking the box away with her bare feet, "don't you have something healthy? Like an apple?"

"Aw, come on," Quigley said, putting the blue one back into the box.

When Violet wasn't looking, Quigley reached for the box again, but Violet turned back around and firmly placed a foot on top of his hand.

"All right, all right," Quigley said, as Violet lifted her foot up, and he stood up.

Klaus and Isadora headed upstairs, Quigley handed Sunny a pear and she went off to watch TV in a guestroom, and left Violet and Quigley alone in the living room with the gigantic TV.

"So," Violet said, "let's sit down."

They turned on a movie and were about to laugh when the door opened.

"I swear, Duncan!" Quigley said. "Where have you been?"

"Um, around," Duncan mumbled, disappointed at the fact that his two and a half minute older brother was angry at him.

"We had a great time!" Laura said. "We went to Subway and saw the four PM screening of Christmas with the Kranks!"

"It was a funny movie," Duncan said, laughing at a line.

"We were about to order a pizza," Isadora said, coming down the stairs with Klaus.

"Oh well," Duncan said. "What'd we miss?"

"Quigley trying to sneak Sunny rock candy," Violet said, glaring at Quigley. Quigley chuckled.

Laura giggled. "Are you guys sleeping over or what?"

We all nodded. "That apple didn't exactly satisfy my appetite," Sunny said, who had returned from watching TV.

"Well, I'm sure rock candy could," Quigley said, looking at Violet.

"Forget it," Violet said.

"How about Snickers or a Crunch or Kit-Kat?"

Violet sighed. "All right. But no rock candy."

Quigley went into the kitchen and returned with Snickers, Crunch, and a Kit-Kat.

"Which one?" he asked Sunny. Sunny took a Crunch.

"Anybody else want anything before the pizza arrives?" Quigley asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

Duncan and Laura went into another room. Who knew what they were doing?

Violet had to get back with Duncan, but how? She had a plan, like she normally did.
