Time skip brought to you by the ultimate shipper, Kit Snicket

"Ready you two?" Kit said cheerfully. 

Quigley shrugged. "Barely."

"Do you remember where you parked the taxi?" I asked hopefully. Kit nodded and explained that she had parked it under a tree that looked distinctly different than the others in the forest. (there was a forest near the lower part of the mountain in case u forgot because i did at first too)

"We should go, I'm eager to meet with the Baudelaires soon." I said. Quigley and Kit nodded in agreement and we started to climb down the mountain. Though it took a little while, it was much easier than climbing up the waterfall while carrying a fully grown woman. We were almost to the place where Kit's taxi was parked when I noticed a faint buzzing sound that was growing closer. 

"Do you hear that?" I whispered. They nodded and Kit motioned for us to step back. Apparently we were too late, because the next moment my left hand started stinging. I screamed loudly in surprise and pain, and the same thing happened to Quigley and Kit. We ran under a tree to try and escape it, but our attempt was proven useless when a swarm of snow gnats flew over our heads and chased us throughout the forest. Anyone traveling in the mountains would have heard a combination of screaming, cursing, and overly loud insects. Eventually the swarm surrendered and we slumped down on a log to catch our breath.

"Holy shit, that was horrible." Quigley mumbled. Kit glared at him and he threw his hands up in confusion. "What'd I do?!"

"Language!" She scolded. I snickered and slapped him on the arm.

"Yeah Quigley, watch your language," I teased.

He rolled his eyes. "Oh, please. Don't act like you've never said that before."

"Has she?" Kit wondered in disbelief. She must have thought I was innocent, she was wrong.

"Hell yeah." I responded. "Hey, is that your taxi?" Just around the corner was a small bit of chipped lemon-yellow paint.

"Yeah, I think it is!" Kit exclaimed.

"I guess those horrible insects helped us out in a way," Quigley said. We made our way over to the taxi and attempted to open the doors. A layer of ice had accumulated on the doors, making it difficult to open.
