--During the Wide Window--

Your P.O.V.

"Hi! I'm Violet, one of Josephine's nieces. I assume you're the Baudelaires?" I greeted our new guests as Aunt Josephine walked them through the door.

"It's very nice to meet you Violet." The oldest girl spoke, "This is my brother Klaus and my sister Sunny. Coincidentally, my name is Violet as well." I laughed, and I saw her smile.

"Are you for real? That's hilarious. Anyways, do you want me to show them yo their room Aunt Josephine?"

"Oh sure honey, just be sure your very careful." I mentally chuckled and rolled my eyes. I led the Baudelaires down the small, safe hallway to their room, which would be right next to mine.

"This is your room. You can each pick which bed you want, but I would probably place Sunny farthest from the window so she doesn't get chilly from the draft. My room is right next door, the one with slightly darker gray walls than these ones."

"Thank you Violet, we appreciate the advice." The boy, Klaus slightly smiled. "Do you think you could give us some more advice about Aunt Josephine? Or about you? If your our cousin, why didn't we know about you?"

"Well, I'm not really a blood relative. I'm like, a step-brother-in-law daughter, and when my parents died I was sent here. Aunt Josephine really is sweet and she does the best she can, but she's very paranoid and isn't very used to other human interaction. She's scared of just about everything, which I guess would be the very opposite of you guys." We all kinda shrugged.

Violet picked up Sunny as she babbled something I couldn't understand and Klaus looked deep in thought.

"Well, we thank you for trying to help. If it's ok, I think we'd like to spend some time going over our new situation." Violet said as Sunny looked disappointed.

"That's fine, I will call everyone back for dinner."

"Klaus, Violet, Sunny! Dinner!" I knocked on their door as Klaus swiftly answered the door grinning. They all seemed in a good mood until they saw what were having for dinner.

"Cabbage Soup," Aunt Josephine said too cheerliy, "Its simple, so we don't have to use the stove."

"But don't you need to cook soup?" Klaus asked inquisitive.

"Not cabbage soup. Cabbage Soup is perfect cold." Aunt Josephine smiled as we all slowly tried to sip some soup. I of course could easily do it, but I didn't eat it all because I don't like cabbages. The Baudelaires didn't eat all of theirs either, and after we put our plates up I had an idea.

"Hey Baudelaires, I have something for you in my room."

"That's sounds very nice Violet. I will go put Sunny to bed, meanwhile I'm sure Klaus would love to go along." Klaus looked kinda shy and blushed as he nodded. He was kinda cute when he did. Violet left with Sunny as I led Klaus into our room, shutting the door behind me. I made sure no one was looking when I carefully pulled a bag full if food out from under my bed. There was beef jerky, chips, candies, apples, carrots, and more. Klaus' eyes were wider than the grand canyon.

"Where did you get all of this?!"

"Aunt Josephine gives me a small allowance every week, and I normally use it to buy food since she can't cook. Whatever I don't use on food goes to art supplies and books. Aunt Josephine doesn't know though, because she would take it all away, so I have to hide everything. Have as much as you like." Klaus looked very hungry, but I could tell he was trying not to take everything I had. "Here, just take the whole thing to share with your siblings."

"No, I couldn't do that to you!" He said, a piece of jerky in his mouth.

"Trust me, I've been eating cabbage soup a lot longer than you. Besides, I'll get more money next week for more food we can share." I handed him the bag and he smiled wide.

"Thank you, for everything." He paused, "We don't normally meet many kind people our age. Sunny really likes you and Violet seems to enjoy your company, even though she may not show it."

"What about you?" I teased, "Do you enjoy me too?" Klaus was redder than a beet and started fumbling with his words.

"Well-i mean-sdjsksk-umm-yes." He finally got his mouth in order as I laughed. "I actually really like you. Like, really like you Violet." It took a minute for me to processes his words. He liked me liked me. Ok, that's new.

"I guess I kinda like you too Klaus." I thought carefully as he took my hand in his. We both slowly leaned closer, and closer, until our lips were almost touching, and then we were interrupted.

"Ok, this is great and all, but can you not call her Violet, because that's kinda day weird!" And I watched as long black hair zoomed down the hallway.
