Chapter 4
Klaus and Isadora giggled as they gently shoved each other while walking across the lawn towards the Orphan Shack. They paused and kissed quickly before walking the rest of the way normally. They walked in the shack and saw the Backwaters sitting in the corner reading. Duncan quickly jolted up and moved his hand away from Violet's waist as she scooted over on the bale of hay. Violet and Duncan both liked each other, but were too shy to do anything. Violet's cheeks turned bright crimson as she avoided her brother's eyes.
"Hey, Klaus, think I could talk to you out front real quick?" Wendy's voice was squeaky as she asked her questions.
"Um, sure." The two headed outside.
"Klaus, did you come up with an answer?" Wendy shifted her weight from her left foot to the right one.
"Yeah, Wendy, I have."
She smiled.
"I realized that I am in love, just not with you. I know this sounds horrible and I hate to have to do this, but I love Isadora. We can still be—"
"Oh my gosh, you stupid boy!" Wendy kicked Klaus in the shin and ran across the lawn. Ruby led the other orphans out of the shack at all this noise.
"What's going on?" Violet asked, noticing the middle Baudelaire writhing on the ground in pain.
As Isadora helped him to his feet, he replied, "I told her I didn't like her and she freaked out."
"You dumb boy!" Ruby shoved Sunny into Violet's arms and darted across the lawn in the same direction as her sister.
"Why don't you like her? She's pretty and its not like there's anyone else for you to…" Duncan trailed off.
"Well…" Klaus looked over at Isadora.
"Oh, I didn't know. Well, I think we'll go back in the shack now." Duncan smiled as he led Violet and Sunny back into the shack.
Isadora and Klaus kissed for a few minutes before they headed over to the concert.
The Next Day At Lunch—
"Hey, Klaus," Violet said as they sat down. "Did you hear that the Backwaters left to go live with their Aunt Lindsey? They're gone."
"Oh awesome!" Isadora inquired, putting her hand on Klaus's. They kissed quickly while Violet and Duncan were preoccupied looking at each other.
Seizing the moment, Duncan leaned in and gave Violet a quick peck on the cheek.
"Forton!" Sunny shrieked, causing the other four to look at the little baby and smile. The orphans savored this happy moment because it was the last one they would encounter in a long while.
