The next morning, Klaus eyed Violet suspiciously. She was actually taking more than five minutes to do her hair.

"You okay?" He was very concerned. His concern grew as he saw Sunny paying special attention to her teeth. "Whatever…" He rolled his eyes as he left the shack to go to breakfast. He talked casually to Isadora and Duncan while he waited for the Baudelaire sisters to join the other orphans for their meal. When they did arrive, they were acting like babies. Sunny was a baby, but in this case, they were being very immature. They were arguing and pushing each other out of the way.

"Hello Duncan," Violet beamed, sitting next to him. "How are you?"

"Um, fine, Violet, are you okay?"

"I'm great!" Violet narrowed her eyes at Sunny.

"Mashoom!" Sunny shrieked, meaning something like "That sweater looks great on you."

"She said she thinks your sweater makes you look fat," Violet translated, purposely incorrect. "I think it brings out your eyes." She batted her eyelashes and ignored Sunny's yelp of "Mooka poo" meaning "That's not what I meant and you know it!" This incorrect translation went on for several minutes before Klaus caught on.

"Isadora, Duncan," Klaus interjected, "I just remembered, my sisters and I had to do something back in the shack before class. Excuse us." Klaus gave his sisters a look as he stood up. Violet begrudgingly stood up, leaving Klaus to carry Sunny.

Once back in the shack, Klaus blew up. "What is wrong with you?"

"Sunny's trying to steal my boyfriend!" Violet covered her mouth.

"Duncan isn't your boyfriend," Klaus yelled. "Do you know if he likes you? No."

"Hewkie." Sunny cried meaning "I can like whoever I want."

"You're too little," Violet shot back.

"Both of you shut up! You're acting like brats. We have an evil villain to escape from and you two are worried about a boy. Last I checked, Violet only took time to play with her hair when she was tying it in a ribbon to think. And Sunny, the only time you cared about how your teeth were was when you had something to recreationally bite! What is going on with you two!" Klaus was out of breath.

Violet knew her brother was right. She had so many more things to worry about, and she was at war with her little sister… over a boy. Still she felt something for Duncan. I must tell him.

Sunny sighed. She was disappointed in herself. She was chasing after a boy more than ten years older than her. Still, that feeling of butterflies flitting in her stomach always struck when Duncan was nearby. I must tell him.
