The Baudelaire orphans walked quietly, a word which here means with out speaking, down the grey road, which was named Grey Road. Violet, the eldest Baudelaire, and the best 21 year old inventor the world has ever known, was holding the hand of her younger sister, Sunny. Sunny, the youngest Baudelaire orphan, was 8 years old, and currently had braces, a word which here means, bits of metal fastened onto the teeth to move them into spots that they should normally be. She has 4 teeth in the very front that are extremely sharp, and have been used in many horrid situations, such as a sword fight and climbing an empty elevator shaft. Klaus, the middle Baudelaire child was 19, and is an avid reader. He usually made his siblings stop on their way into town every day to pick up a morning newspaper, and on occasion, a magazine.
A short way down the road, they ran into their friends, the Quagmires. The Quagmires were triplets, a word which in this place means three children born at the same time from the same mother. The Quagmires were also orphans, and their small family consisted of Isadora, who enjoyed writing poetry, mostly couplets which is a two rhyming lines. Duncan Quagmire, who was a journalist, and Quigley, who was a cartographer, in other words, he enjoys maps, making or reading them, it didn't matter. The Quagmire triplets were 20 years old, but they would celebrate their birthday in a few days.
As the large group of orphans walked quietly down the grey Grey Road, they approached a large building they had all chipped in and bought. In one sections, they had a library, in another, an inventing studio, where Violet sold her inventions, in the third section was a poetry shop, and in the fourth and fifth were a newspaper printing press and a mapmaking store. Sunny, who still attended school, didn't have her own store, but if she did, she would most likely have a restaurant instead.
"Violet?" Sunny asked. "What's that noise?" Violet listened a moment.
"Sunny, it sounds like a child crying..." Isadora answered, even though the question wasn't directed toward her.
"A child?" Duncan said, "If there's a lonely orphan, we aught to find it." Klaus and Quigley nodded in agreement.
They looked around for the child. Deep back in an alley they found the bundles. There wasn't one, two, or three orphaned children, but 6! They weren't all from the same mother, or the same ages. Three appeared to be triplets, and about 2 years old. The other three were siblings definitely. One was about 3, one was 2, and the other appeared to me only days old. They each picked up a child and looked for any sign of a note or a parent.
Violet handed Klaus the baby she held and walked to the store and stuck a note on it, "Sorry, due to family issues, we will not be in store today...Thank you and call again!"
She walked back to the others.
"Ok..." Isadora said, "lets go back home and look these babies over, and check to see if any children are missing." So, that's what they didn't.
Stepping into the living room and taking the blankets off of the kids, Duncan noticed something. The kids were all naked. They each looked the children over. The Quagmires where holding the triplets, there were two boys and a girl. And Klaus had the two year old boy, Sunny had the newborn, and Violet had the 3 year old, which were both girls. It was odd, because, it was like junior versions of them, except Sunny was alot younger then the other Baudelaires and the Quagmires, where the littlest baby was close to the others ages.
"Well, yup, these are orphans. No record of them missing from any where, but there were 6 kids who's parents died in fires this morning who never where found." Violet said, hanging the phone up.
"Really?" Duncan asked.
"Yes, and they asked if we wanted to adopt them into our family. I said yes, and they started the paper work." Violet replied.
"Sweet!" Quigley said.
"Well," Klaus said, "They'll need names..." Isadora thought a minute and said,
"I have an idea... We can all name the baby we're holding!"
"Great idea Izzy!" Sunny said.
They all set down to work on names while the babies slept. Izzy names her's Isabella Marie. Duncan named his, Darren Anthony. Quigley named his, Joey Warren. Violet named hers, Lilac Bloom. Klaus named his, Christopher Paul. And Sunny named hers, Emilie Alyse.
