Everything was calm. Calm for the Addams anyway. The family was on their way home from a day at the park, it seemed mostly abandoned, but still able be in. Morticia and Gomez had a romantic picnic by a swamp, Fester went swimming in said swamp, Grandmama was collecting weeds and wild berries for another love potion and or voodoo doll.

Pugsley was making a guillotine out of rocks and dead tree branches. Pubert was taking a well deserved nap after "playing" with a fox. All while Wednesday searched for new spiders to add to her collection and use to antagonize her brothers, and possibly other children.

Back to the car ride...

The older children were asleep, occasionally muttering things in their sleep. Wednesday says something along the lines of," How much gunpowder do I use for the pie?" While Pugsley mumbled about making Aristotle the first octopus of America and training him to squirt ink at Pubert whenever he gets too close.

Fester and Gomez were talking about having a guys trip and maybe finding a pet for Pubert since the other children had pets of their own." What type of pet would be appropriate for a kid his age, Gomez?"

"When I was Pubert's age, I had a pet snake. You remember him, Fester, his name was Brutus." He was a boa constrictor, loved to wrap himself around me."

"Didn't Ma make you donate him to the zoo because he kept trying to eat you?"

"He was just really affectionate. I wonder how Brutus is doing, its been awhile since I've seen him.

"Maybe it can be our next outing, we might even see an animal that Pubert will want."

"Maybe..."Gomez looked lost in thought."You think the zoo will let me take back Brutus?"

"I'm not sure, what do you think Morticia?"Fester turns to his sister in law who had been silently listening to the conversation while knitting.

"I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to ask. When do you plan on going to the zoo?" She catches a small length of chain before it could slap her in the face." Ma-ma, can you give Pubert another teething toy? It's so hard to find good toys for babies these days."

"I know my dear, when Wednesday was his age we could still find stores with blacksmiths in them. Nowadays if you want good toys you have to order online and even then it may not be authentic or good craftsmanship."

"All that's left other than that piece of chain you caught Morticia, are a couple throwing knives and a few wood logs. Which one should I give him?"

"I really don't want to give Pubert another knife, the last knife he had still hasn't come out. Just give him the wood logs and if they're gone before we get home, give him the smallest knife."

"The logs lasted awhile, but I guess I have to give you the knife. Don't eat this one, Pubert."

Pubert just stares."Gah."

"Ma, I think those are Wednesday's throwing knives."

"Are you sure, Fester? They look just like the teething knives Pubert was using earlier."

One of the knives goes flying towards Gomez, who ducks and instead hits directly in front of Lurch. It cracks the windshield and cuases him to swerve in surprise... right into another car.

Puglsey and Wednesday are awoken from the sudden force and Aristotle attaches himself to Uncle Fester's head.

Everyone exits the car to assess the damage. "Oh dear, we seem to have run someone off the road."

"Do you think they're still alive mother?"

"Possibly, I don't think we hit them too hard and the damages won't cost much."

"How disappointing."

"Just because you want a new soul for your seances doesn't mean this person has to die for it, Wednesday."

"Yes Mother"

Everyone approached the wrecked car. The family saw a short round figure stumble out of the car before collapsing.

"Quickly Lurch that person needs medical treatment. Bring him to the car."

Lurch carries what appears to be a man to the back of the car and puts him in the trunk. Everyone piles back into the car and head home.

Slight groaning could be heard from the trunk as the man slipped in and out of consciousness.
