MORE THAN FRIENDS
"Is he here yet?"
"No, not yet…"
"SURPRISE!"
Klaus found himself, dumbstruck, in front of Violet, Sunny, Duncan, Quigley, Isadora, and Fiona. It was his fourteenth birthday and they had planned a surprise birthday party for him.
"Wow, guys, you didn't have to do all this for me!" Klaus exclaimed happily.
"Well you are our brother-," Violet said.
"-and friend," Isadora chimed in.
"Okay, you guys let's get this party started!" Violet shouted at the top of her lungs.
The party was a blast. They all played games, watched a movie, danced, and the Quagmires and Fiona slept over at the Baudelaire's new apartment.
"Wow, I had so much fun today," Violet said, out of breath.
"Yeah, that was so funny when Quigley was dancing to "Holla Back Girl" by Gwen Stefani!" Isadora laughed.
Quigley turned scarlet. "I LOVE THAT SONG!"
Klaus couldn't even look at either one of Isadora or Fiona. He had been pondering all day who had been a better friend to him, and it was a hard decision. Klaus thought both girls were extremely pretty and especially kind to him. So that night when he couldn't get to sleep because Violet was snoring so loud, Klaus thought he would have a midnight snack. But on his way to the kitchen, who should he find but Fiona herself.
"What are you doing up so late, Klaus?" Fiona whispered softly.
"Uhhh…I was, just, uh…..nothing," Klaus stuttered.
"Oh really? Well, I'll…just….get back to bed now," Fiona said awkwardly.
Klaus stopped her. "Wait. I wanted to ask you something." He was going to ask her….
"….Did you know that bamboo can grow up to three feet in just twenty-four hours?" Klaus asked, cursing himself in his mind. He smiled weakly.
Fiona laughed quietly. "Oh Klaus, you're funny. Good night."
