Chapter nine: Veritaserum

"Oh my god! Wednesday and Morwenna Addams are going to the Rave'N!" She squeals. "My whole world is tilted!" Her smile is so bright that it's almost blinding. The sisters merely stare at her while she has an excitement overload. Wednesday had spilled the news of her going with Tyler, Morwenna doing the same with Xavier, and now they were to deal with an overly excited Enid.

"You know what you need now?" She asks them. "A bullet to the head?" They both ask her back. "A dress!" She shakes from high energy. "I already have one." Wednesday says. "Me too." Said Morwenna, but the ball of energy shook her head.

"Not the one you showed up here in!" Her smile fell as she frantically shook her head at Wednesday. "That thing was a fashion emergency not even lightning could resuscitate. Back me up here you two." Enid then looked between Morwenna and Thing, who nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"And I've never seen you where a dress. You have one?" The pastel haired girl tilted her head. "Maybe not up to your expectations." Morwenna murmured.

"Anyways, you need something that screams, 'First date. Stand back, bitches! I have arrived!'" She tells Wednesday loudly. A glare was sent her way. "And I know just the place!" She smiled and then drug them out the door and to the bus that takes them to town.

It was a quick ten minute ride and another ten minutes to walk to the store Enid had in mind. It was bright and looked as if a rainbow exploded everywhere. "What kind of dystopian hellscape is this?" Wednesday asked for both herself and her sister. Both Addams girls glared up at the place in front of them while Enid shook with joy.

"Our first roomie and sister shopping spree!" Enid smiles. Morwenna rolls her tongue ring over her teeth, hearing the clattering sound in her ears. "The dance committee's suggesting all white to match the theme, but that's not gonna fly with us." She says as if she were on a mission. Which to her, they were.

"I have more pressing business than to worry about a dress for a dance I don't even want to attend." Wednesday turns away and glares. "But I thought we were bonding." Enid's smile drops. "I feel I'll only slow you down. You're a gazelle. I'm a wounded fawn. Cut me loose and go run with the pack." The three of them turn to see Nevermore students walk into 'Hawt Kewture'.

Enid's head turns back and forth between them. "Are you sure?" She asks one last time before Wednesday nods and walks off. "What about you, Morry?" Enid asked, using the nickname she had come up with.

"I'll catch up. I need to speak with Wednesday." Enid brightly smiles and nods before bounding into the brightly colored store. She saw her sister stop to look into Uriah's Heap, Thing pointing at a dress in the window. "Can I have a word, Wednesday?" Morwenna's mother like voice sounded out.

"Of course, mother." She jokes blandly. "I don't think Xavier is the monster." She says lowly, earning a glare. "What makes you say that? Your infatuation with him blinding you from the facts?" She snarkily asks, furrowing her brow.

"I'm making a truth serum. You'll see then." Wednesday shook her head. "This isn't Harry Potter. Those truth serums don't work and aren't reliable." Wednesday stated. Morwenna rolled her eyes. "They are. The one I conjure works every time. Remember when we used it on Pugsley after he lied about breaking your guillotine? It worked."

"No. We pressured him so much that he just spilled. It didn't have anything to do with your potion." Wednesday uttered coldly. "Fine. Think what you want, Wednesday. I'm still going to do it and you'll see." And with that Morwenna turned away from her sister and back down the sidewalk.
