The Woe of Nevermore

Chapter 2: Friday Night

Wednesday was sitting in the living room waiting for Lurch to put the finishing touches on dinner, she had simply argued with her parents for a half hour about where Xavier was going to be staying at, apparently her father had gotten in touch with his father and suggested that Xavier stay for the week and of course Xavier's father agreed and Wednesday was not really thrilled.

"Why would you go behind my back and ask Xavier's father if he could stay for the week?" Wednesday asked, very upset.

"I thought you would like to be with your boyfriend for the week my little storm cloud." Gomez responded to his little girl.

"Father, you could have just asked me to ask Xavier, you did not need to go behind my back and betray me like this." Wednesday would have come up with an excuse as to why Xavier couldn't stay for the week but that was besides the point.

"Darling we should have talked to you, we apologize for that but at least you can see him for the week, we will have Lurch bring you more towels." Morticia apologized but still had her dazzling smile on her face.

"Why more towels?"

"Well Xavier is going to be staying in your room is he not?" Morticia was a little confused and Wednesday went wide eyed a bit. Well wider than usual.

"No mother, he can have his own room." Wednesday clarified.

"Darling, we don't care if you have sex in the house." This is where Wednesday drew the line.

"Xavier and I have not gotten that far in our relationship so would you stop and have Lurch prepare the guest room?" Wednesday sighed, her parents everyone!

That had been about ten minutes ago when the conversation ended there, she was watching the fire dance and trying to ignore her parents being all lovey dovey while her brother was doing whatever it is he was doing. Tomorrow Xavier would be here and she was hoping he was not freaked out by her family or by the fact that her parents are assuming that they're together. Wednesday was taken from her thoughts when she heard the door bell being rung and Wednesday was a little taken back, who was that? 

"I'll get it." Pugsley got up and went to answer the door as Wednesday continued to watch the fire dance.

                                                                         ...

Pugsley knew that Wednesday and his parents were not going to move and besides, curiosity killed the cat, so why not? As he opened the door he saw a boy with long hair down to the bottom of his neck, a duffle bag and a book in his other hand, Pugsley was confused on who this was since he was also wearing blue jeans, a light blue shirt and a jacket.

"Hey, is Wednesday here?" He asked.

"And whose asking?" Pugsley asked.

"My name is Xavier, I was invited.." Xavier answered and Pugsley smiled.

"Oh! Your Wednesday's boyfriend, hi, I'm Pugsley her little brother." Xavier looked to be taken back for a moment before recovering and nodding his head with a small smile.

"Yup, that's me." He answered as Pugsley let him in. 

"You can leave your stuff there and our butler can grab it after, follow me, I'll take you to where we're sitting waiting for dinner to get done." Pugsley grabbed Xavier's wrist as he took him through the house with a few twists and turns before reaching the living room where Xavier saw Wednesday staring at the fire and her parents.. well her parents were making out. "Look whose here!" Pugsley said as he walked into the living room leaving Xavier by the entrance of the living area. Everyone turned to look at him as he waved sheepishly.
