"Alexis. Good. Maybe you can talk some sense into Parker. She's up in her room." Margaux says as she opens the door for Alexis to come in.

"Um okay?" Alexis asks as she heads up to Parker's room and sees Parker dressed like a goth.

"Hey Alexis." Parker says as she looks at Alexis while Alexis comes in and shuts the door behind her.

"Whoa. Um nice uh new look." Alexis says not knowing how to respond.

"Do you like it?" Parker asks.

"Yeah. So um what happened with you and your mom?" Alexis asks as she gestures towards the door.

"Long story. I'll explain but it'll take a bit." Parker says as Alexis nods and puts her stuff down.

*Timeskip*

"Parker wake up. I heard something." Alexis says hearing something outside as she nudges Parker.

"Go to sleep Alexis." Parker says tiredly before quickly sitting up hearing a noise before the two see Wednesday in the window holding some bags.

"Wednesday?" Alexis asks confusedly.

"I shall be staying with you for a while." Wednesday says as she comes in.

"Hey uh Parker I forgot something at my house. I'm gonna go get it and then I'll be back. Okay?" Alexis says as Parker looks at her.

"Okay just be quiet sneaking out the window. I don't want my mom seeing you." Parker says as Alexis walks towards the window.

"No problems there." Alexis says.

*Timeskip*

As Alexis arrives outside the Addams family house she soon spots Pugsley in the tree reading a book before Ichabod grabs her and places her on a branch next to him.

"Alexis what are you doing here?" Pugsley asks as he places down the Mazurka book.

"I came to see how your practice was going. Also Wednesday said she'll be staying with Parker for a while. What happened?" Alexis asks curiously.

"Mom didn't like her new look. And I can agree with Wednesday. It just seems like our parents want us to be exactly like them. I can see why she left. I just feel like such an outcast in my family because I can't do the Mazurka. I'm not ready." Pugsley says as Alexis gives him a sympathetic look.

"Pugsley listen to me. I know you're worried but just try your best. You're not an outcast. Far from it. You're just different and that's fine." Alexis says.

"To you maybe but you don't have to do the Mazurka. I'm gonna be a laughing stock of my family and let my parents down." Pugsley says as Alexis growls slightly.

"Ichabod can you lower Pugsley and me to the ground please?" Alexis asks as Ichabod puts them both on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Pugsley asks.

"Prooving a point. But before I do you have to promise me that you can keep a secret. Please Pugsley. No one else knows about this. Can you keep this between us? Alexis asks in a serious tone.

"Yeah I guess but what is it?" Pugsley asks as Alexis sighs before shifting to wolf form in front of him.

"Well?" Alexis asks.

"You're a dog?" Pugsley asks in shock.

"Wolf actually. I'm a wolf shifter. I was born with this ability like my parents." Alexis says.

"I don't understand. What's this got to do with me letting my family down?" Pugsley asks.

"Because Pugsley I've seen your talent with explosives. You're also around where I wasn't for my family. I was much too young to do anything when my parents died. You want to talk about letting your parents down? Pugsley I let my birth parents down because I was too young and couldn't do anything. I had no way to defend them. And now I have to live with that knowledge I let them down. You don't. Even if you aren't able to protect your family the traditional way you still have the ability to protect them some way. So don't go saying you let them down. The fight isn't over until it's over." Alexis says.

"Wow. Thanks Alexis. I needed to hear that." Pugsley says as Alexis nods before shifting to human form.

"You're welcome." Alexis says.

"I actually got something for you." Pugsley says as Alexis looks at him confused.

"You do?" Alexis asks.

"Yeah." Puglsey says as a hand jumps onto Alexis's shoulder.

"Whoa. Um.." Alexis says a little nervous seeing the hand.

"Oh that's just Thing. He won't hurt you." Pugsley says as Thing shows Alexis a black rose before placing it in her hair.

"A rose." Alexis says as she smiles before Thing jumps onto Pugsley's shoulder.

"Yeah. I saw it growing near by and thought you may like it since I saw you drawing flowers when you first visited with me. I don't care for the flower itself but I like that it's as black as a closed coffin." Pugsley says.

"Thank you Puglsey. I like it. Listen Pugsley you'll do fine. Just remember that even if you don't do well then you can at least say you tried and gave it your best." Alexis says as Pugsley nods.

"Thanks for the encouragement. You wanna hang out in my room for a while?" Pugsley asks as he gestures to his window.

"Sorry. It's late. I gotta get back before Parker's mom notices I'm missing." Alexis says as she looks at the time on her phone.

"Okay well I'll see you later then." Puglsey says before he freezes as Alexis quickly kisses him on the cheek before he touches where she touched him with his hand.

"Yeah. Night Pugsley." Alexis says as she shifts to wolf form and runs off.
