Chapter 1 The Move In
Another unfortunate day at school, Klaus thought as he walked home from his seven long classes with his little sister Sunny. She was in her second year at Trivet Private School and Klaus, himself, was just in his last year. The one he was looking forward to be ending.
"Klaus! We have to get back home, or Violet will have a fit." She said in a childish voice and Klaus smiled down at her.
"We can take our…time?" And Klaus's eyes drifted to a large truck not that far away from their repaired mansion. "What in the blue blazes…" he muttered and Sunny averted her attention to the automobile.
"Oh, new neighbors?!" her face brightened and she tugged on Klaus's long sleeved uniform, "Come on!"
"Sunny! Wait!" he tried to stop her from dragging him over to the Move-In-Vehicle where a new family was obviously moving in.
"Hi!" Sunny stepped on the lawn that was terrible mistreated by the previous owner, And Klaus held his ground, his extremely large book in the other, watching Sunny approach a man about his own age. If not…older.
"Hello!" he answered, his voice clearly English and Sunny answered,
"You're new neighbors, right?"
"That we are. Want to meet the family?" He asked and looked at Klaus cheerfully. Klaus had seen that smile on Justice Strauss more than once and decided to walk on the lawn and stand next to Sunny.
"Hello, I'm Klaus Baudelaire, and we live right down the street from your house." Klaus introduced, and the man spoke,
"I'm John Newport, are you her father?" John asked and Sunny laughed,
"No, I'm her older brother." Klaus smiled. John smiled back,
"Ah, you just seem…so much older than she is. I see, I have a sister, couple of years younger than me. Eighteen years old. Cari! Where are you?" He ran up to the open doorway and called inside. He only received and irritated 'WHAT!' from what seemed to be his sister. Klaus tried to look through the doorway with his hazel eyes, and he saw nothing, but heard stomping down the stairs.
Please don't tell me she's a fat one… He sighed to himself,
"What, John!? I'm having enough trouble loading my boxes into my room, as it is!" she carped to her older brother.
"We have neighbors." He turned and let her see the two. Klaus inwardly applauded. She wasn't FAT! (A/N: There is nothing wrong with fat people. So don't say there is. My mum is obese and so is the REST of meh' family.) Cari was anything but fat. She was extremely thin, not as much to the fact that the wind could carry her way. Her eyes were a deep emerald, which was easily brought out with her tan skin, and tan attire she wore, and her hair was a deep brown, and curled down just over her shoulders. Cari wasn't as tall as Klaus was, but you could tell…just tell that she was eighteen.
"Hey!" Sunny yipped and hugged the young woman who pat her head and looked at her brother.
"Who…"
"I'm Sunny! And that big lug,"
"HEY!" Klaus interrupted giving Sunny a death glare.
"Over there is Klaus! My big brother." Sunny soon let go and ran back to her big brother and hugged his leg like little kids usually do to prove affection.
"Hello." Klaus smiled at Cari and she smiled back, "Sorry…about that. She's a bit…hyper." He grinned and pat her head with his free hand.
"Well, that's ok, I have a little sister about her age, and her name is Bri. I would call her out, but we have a lot of work to do." She sighed and glared at John.
"Look I'm sorry I haven't helped yet!" John sighed and Cari huffed,
"Well, I guess I'll see you some other time!" she said cheerfully.
"What school do you go to?" Sunny asked.
"Uh…that private school down the way. Trivia…Trivial…"
"Trivet," Klaus corrected and smirked, "I'll guess we'll see you there…" he watched her smile back and nod.
"Will do." And Klaus picked Sunny up and placed her on his shoulders.
"Do I really look that old?"
"You will if don't get home soon! Violet will have a FIT!" Klaus jumped up and ran hurriedly back to the mansion, seeing Violet standing on the porch, her left foot tapping violently.
"KLAUS! SUNNY!"
"Oh, crap." They said in unison.
