Plot Twists: A Series of Unfortunate Events

PLOT TWIST #1: What if the Baudelaire Parents Never Died?

Violet's POV

Our parents told us that we should go to the beach, so I dressed Sunny and helped Klaus pack for a day at the beach.

After a couple hours, we packed up and trekked back to our house. Mother sat in the garden, reading. Father was presumably inside.

I handed Sunny to Mother, and followed Klaus inside, to the library. We sat reading until dinnertime.

Klaus POV

I woke up in the middle of the night because I had a nightmare. A very lengthy nightmare.

Our parents died and we were given to a man named Count Olaf, who was devoted to stealing our fortune. Mr. Poe, a man who dealt with our dilemma, took us away from him and gave is to our Uncle Monty. He died and we were given to our Aunt Josephine.

Olaf killed Josephine. We escaped Mr. Poe and found shelter at a lumber mill. The eye doctor, Dr. Orwell, hypnotized me. She died a couple days later.

Mr. Poe took us to a school, whe we met 2 kids, the Quagmires. One was a boy and the other was a girl who I kinda-maybe-sorta liked. Olaf kidnapped them and we were given to a woman name's Esmé.

She was working with Olaf, however. She and Olaf smuggledthe Quagmires to a crow-loving town. My siblings and I were accused of murder, but it was untrue.

We helped the Quagmires escape and we escaped to a hospital. Violet was almost murdered by Olaf and we hid in his car and traveled with him to a carnival, where we disguised ourselves as freaks.

Olaf found us and killed our friend Olivia. He kidnapped Sunny, while running off to the Mountains. Violet and I followed him, living with Snow Scouts for a while. A certain Snow Scout, the Quagmire's brother helped us rescue Sunny. We ran from Olaf, but we lost the Quagmire's brother Quigley.

We ended up on a submarine with a former worker at that mill and a girl named Fiona who I kinda-sorta-maybe liked. She abandoned us to be with her brother, one of Olaf's henchmen. A woman named Kit took my sisters and I to a hotel, where we worked as spies.

We were put on trial against Olaf and just as we were about to win the case, Olaf won.

He kidnapped us and we ended up on an island. Kit gave birth to her daughter and died. Olaf died, too.

Then I woke up.

I realised that it was a nightmare and went to bed, wondering if any of it could be real, because, the Quagmire girl was really sweet.

7 YEARS LATER
Sunny's POV (now 8 years old)

I woke up in my bed. Klaus was visiting me and our parents this weekend. He is 19, and an aspiring author.

I walked into his room. "What are you writing about? The dream you had 7 years ago?"

Klaus sighed. "Yeah."

I sat down on his bed. "What are you gonna title it?"

Klaus turned to me. "I honestly don't know."

"What about My Dream, or, This Happened 7 Years Ago?" I suggested.

Klaus laughed. "That's not exactly a book title that catches your attention."

"Well, is it one book, or a series?"

"A series."

"Then, you should call it A Series of.... is it sad or happy?"

"Sad. Unfortunate things happen."

"Then, how about A Series of Unfortunate Events?"

Klaus thought about it for a moment. "I might just take you up on that."
