Being the eldest sibling in the Addams family, you were always the one with the most responsibilities. The first one being protection.

If Pugsley was in trouble, you would have to step in and help.

On the other hand, if Wednesday was causing mayhem, it would be up to you to clean up the mess to prevent expulsion. However, piranhas in a swimming pool full of teenage boys was something you could not clean up.

Which is what led to today's main event.

Traveling to Nevermore.

You sat next to Wednesday on the lush red seats, staring idly out the window and watching as you drove past the stunning array of fall colored trees.

A flock of birds hitting the windshield snaps you out of your daze, bringing you back to the reality of your parents serenading each other from the seat across from you.

It's as if Wednesday had the same thought as you, you both turning to look at each other with matching looks of disgust at the sound of them kissing during the old tune.

You couldn't help but roll your eyes as this has been going on for hours between the two. Yes it irritated you, but it was mainly because you've never felt how they feel right now.

Wednesday does her best to not speak to the duo when they begin talking to her, but it doesn't last very long before she sharply elbows you in the side.

"Ow, what—"

"Y/N," The pig-tailed girl cuts you off, "Please remind our parents that I'm no longer speaking to them."

She eyes you, then them, then returns her focus back on you in a not so subtle 'go on' gesture that makes you sigh in annoyance.

"She says—" Gomez cuts you off with the gentle raise of his right hand.

"Thank God," You whisper to yourself, thankful you don't have to be the messenger.

Pugsley giggles to himself, always finding some kind of amusement in nearly everything you say or do.

You reach behind you and fluff the boy's hair, messing up his usually perfect dark strands.

"Y/N. . ." He drags out your name with a groan before fixing the new mess you made atop his head.

Gomez had since turned his attention back to the young girl while you were focused on teasing the boy.

Their voices get drowned out to the best of your ability but come to a halt when you notice a stern look from your mother.

"What?" You question.

"Your father is trying to talk to you."

Gomez speaks up when you look over at him. "I said, our little viper is going to love Nevermore, isn't she?"

"Oh, she's gonna have the time of her life." You try your best to hide your sarcasm but Wednesday always saw right through you.

"It's the perfect school for her." Morticia adds.

"Why?" Wednesday starts with her cutthroat attitude and that's when you know to turn your attention back to the scenery outside, knowing exactly where this conversation was headed.

They go back and forth while you sit and watch the leaves gently fall from the golden colored trees.

You were surprised that Wednesday even got into the vehicle in the first place but knowing she was backed into a corner, she knew her little tricks couldn't get her out of this one.

"Maybe you'll even make some friends," You hear from your soft spoken mother and force yourself not to laugh at her words. It's like they don't even know their own daughter.

"I don't do friends." Wednesday cuts back.

"It's where your sister proudly graduated top of her class and where I fell in love with your mother."

The two lean in, about to kiss each other once again before getting cut off just before their lips touch.

"You guys are making me nauseous." Wednesday eyes them down.

"Don't worry, that'll be you one day, sis." You couldn't help but tease the young girl.

Pugsley has his small giggle fit as usual.

"I highly doubt that." She replies in nearly an instant.

"Darling, you got yourself expelled, we had no other choice," Morticia starts, "You would've had an attempted murder charge on your record!" She goes on, her voice getting drowned out by the thunder roaring above the gloomy clouds as rain starts to drop from the sky.

There was something about rain and rowdy thunderstorms that always fascinated you.

"We're here!" Pugsley exclaims from the front seat.

Both you and Wednesday whip around in your seats just in time to see the old steel gates that read 'Nevermore Academy' open to allow you passage onto school grounds.

Rain gently patters against the car as you drive down the long entrance. Numerous gargoyles on stone pillars greeted you as you drove past them.

Your eyes are quickly met with the ginormous school ahead of you. Bricks and windows lined the outside walls of the building, and the roof was built with the most intricate design.

Lurch parks the car at the front entrance, allowing you, Wednesday, and your parents to get out of the car.

"Oh, now this brings back memories." Morticia smiles at Gomez as the four of you stand at the grand entrance.

"The best memories, mi amor." Gomez smiles back at her and kisses her cheek.

Standing before the building in front of you had memories of your own time at the school flooding back to you. Some were good and some were bad, but none of that mattered now as you were about to make more memories of your own.

You try to calm your racing thoughts as you open the tall doors in front of you and make your way to meet the Headmistress of Nevermore Academy.
