The First Night

The first night that Violet realized that Caroline and Caroline's parents were gone, she decided to sneak out of the house. So she tiptoed to the window and flew right out and went to Sweden. Somewhere in the middle of the journey--she refused to tell Caroline where, in case Caroline might look for her there at a later date and bring her home again---she stopped and picked up Jim, the blue elephant and Violet's best friend.

There were Violet-and-Jim-sightings all over Sweden the next day. People swore they saw blue and pink streaks darting in and out of the trees. No one knew what it was except for Caroline, who read about the UDOs (Unidentified Darting Objects) in the news the next day.

What did Violet and Jim do in Sweden? Violet refused to say, except for stating that she "deserved a vacation".
