DISCLAIMER: so, you know I don't own the book, characters etc. If I did, I would be getting rich from real books instead of writing fan fics. All I own is the plot. Go me.

TITLE: A Riveting Reunion

Author's Note: A lot of people reviewed saying that Kit should be with Dewey. I know that's how it is in The Penultimate Peril , but I can change it since it is my fic. I don't mean to sound bitter, because I'm not at all! Haha. So,

Super E-Man: Like I said before, I changed it a bit so it wasn't too much just like the book. But I have read The Penultimate Peril.

Coolmarauders: I know that my chapters aren't long, I am working on that..keep tuning in and this one will be longer!

EmQuagmire: Don't worry! There will be more happening in this chapter!

This chapter was written in part with my friend Alyssa!

Here we go

Violet looked out of the helicopter's window and saw desert all around her. Klaus was reading, and Sunny was nibbling on a scone that Kit had given to her. Violet was straining to see if the self-sustaining air mobile was in sight. After many glances, she saw a black speck in the air. Coming closer, the black speck became larger and she saw the large basket of the self-sustaining air mobile. She quickly shouted for joy. "Yay! I see them! I see Quigley and Isadora and Duncan and Hector!" Kit immediately looked up and smiled. Klaus picked up Sunny to help her see and she waved her little hand at their friends.

"Violet! Klaus! Sunny!" came a voice. They were close enough now to see that the voice came from Quigley Quagmire. Hector layed out a corvus – a term which here means, "long plank that spanned from the basket to the door of the helicopter". The Baudelaires quickly walked across the corvus to their dear friends, and Hector walked across to Kit. They shook hands and sat down, engaging in deep conversation.

"I am so glad we found you!" Violet said to Quigley, Isadora, and Duncan. "I'm glad you found us!" said Quigley. Isadora said, "I wrote a poem about you would find us."

There's no need for a fuss

The Baudelaires have finally found us

"That's really good Isadora!" Klaus complimented. Isadora blushed and replied, "Thank you Klaus. It seems as if you have grown since I have last seen you! Physically and mentally. You are much taller than me

now!" She smiled at him. Klaus immediately blushed and hunched over. Sunny, annoyed at being left out of the conversation, said "Reuni!" which probably meant something like, "I am so glad we are back together!" Somehow, Violet and Klaus knew that they didn't have to translate for The Quagmires. It felt good to have someone like that, like family again.

"So how are we going to get back to the ground?" Duncan asked. "Well, I guess we should go back to the helicopter now." Violet suggested. The sun was high in the air and it was becoming very hot. Sunny yawned widely and Isadora wiped sweat off of her forehead. "Let's go." First, Isadora walked across, than Klaus walked behind her, making sure she didn't fall. "Thank you Klaus." Isadora said again. "It's quite alright." Klaus replied. Duncan then walked across carrying Sunny. It was just Quigley and Violet in the self-sustaining air mobile. "How are we going to get the air mobile down?" Violet asked. "Hector told me once that if we turn off the blowtorches that keep the balloons inflated, it will eventually slow down and come to the ground." Quigley said. "Alright, let's do that right now before we go across." Quigley and Violet proceeded to turn off the blowtorches, and when they were all off, they quickly went to cross the corvus. Violet put her foot on the corvus to cross, but Quigley grabbed her hand. A shiver went up and down Violet's arm that gave her cold chills all through her body. "I'm glad you're here Violet." Violet smiled, to nervous to speak. Quigley nodded and helped Violet across the corvus.

Hector looked up at Quigley. "Did you get the blowtorches?" he inquired. "Yes." Quigley answered. "Thank you!" Hector exclaimed. He smiled and settled himself in the passenger seat next to Kit. She said, "Everyone ready to land?" Everyone said "Yes!" Isadora sat next to the far window, looking out on the land. "I can't wait to be back on the ground!" She said. Klaus sat next to Isadora and patted her hand and Isadora blushed once again. "You will be soon." He stated. Next to Klaus sat Sunny, gurgling happily at the sight of all her friends and siblings together again. Duncan sat next to Klaus and took out his commonplace book and started to read. Violet and Quigley were the last ones to enter, Violet next to Duncan and Quigley next to Violet and the nearest window. Quigley saw the V.F.D. insignia embroidered into the seats of the helicopter. He looked at the eye and said, more to himself than anyone else, "We are going to do this. We will win. We will find the sugar bowl, and no man with a uni-brow and bad teeth will stop us."
