Wednesday's pov:

-"hi um I need to talk to you"
Me and uncle Fester hear Xavier say in a shaky voice as he walks to his art studio. I know he's the monster, I just need to prove it.
-"ok I can meet you there in twenty ish minutes"
He says hanging up the call.
-"who are you talking to?"
I ask, walking up behind him. He jumps back startled, guess he didn't hear my footsteps.
-"I don't see how that's any of your business"
He says trying to leave the conversation.
-"I know what you are Xavier"
I say with a smile slightly spreading across my face, I don't know if it's because I was right or because I was intrigued.
-"can you stay the hell away from me?"
He asks annoyingly walking off. I roll my eyes and walk back to uncle Fester who was hiding behind a tree.
-"did you place the tracker?"
I ask, ducking behind the tree with him.
-"mhm!"
He says delightfully, handing me the metal gps.
-"don't worry, uncle Festers got you covered"
-"let's hit the road"
I reply. We gotta follow Xavier while the trails hot. We walk a little further and uncle Fester removes a tarp revealing a...motorcycle? It's Dalmatian themed. All white with black dots splattered across it and a mini car attached to its side. I look at my uncle disapprovingly.
-"what? I picked it up on my way out of town!"
He then pulls out two helmets from the seat. The helmets are also white with black dots however they also have floppy ears attached to the sides. Enid would've enjoyed this and called me cute, that's the only reason I've decided to put this helmet on.

After a few minutes of driving the tracker leads us to Xavier. We see as he talks to someone in a white car but I can't quite make out who it is.
-"I had a dream and you died"
He says to the person. The lady sighs.
-"come in"
I then see that it's my therapist he's talking to. Holy- their working together!? I have uncle Fester drive me back to the school as soon as possible and then burst into principal Weems's office.
-"principal Weems it is imperative I speak with you about Dr. kinbott"
I say sternly as I enter the room.
-"speak of the devil"
My eyes widen from shock. She's already beaten me here?
-"and she shall appear"
I mumble to myself. Dr. Kinbott walks over to principal Weems.
-"now what did you do urgently need to discuss Wednesday?"
Weems asks.
-"...it can wait"

-"so what now kiddo?"
Uncle Fester asks as I leave the office.
-"I say we hit up the Weathervane and continue our research"
-"oky docky"
He replies. After about a 30 minute drive we reach what has become probably my favorite place to visit.
-"Kinbott has to be Xavier's master"
I mutter to uncle Fester. He just stares at the old ketchup bottle in front of him. As I continue talking he picks it up and proceeds to eat the little crusty bit at the tip. Disgusting, though it couldn't be worse than grandma's cooking.
-"I think the kid behind the counter has clocked me"
Uncle fester says in a harsh whisper, referring to Tyler whom was staring in our direction.
-"he's walking over! I'm gonna put him in a Romanian sleep roll, cover me!"
Uncle fester continues.
-"relax! He's not interested in you"
I interrupt. I feel my face start to heat up as Tyler walks towards us.
-"your usual, on the house"
Tyler says with a smirk as he places down a quad. Uncle Festers face lights up.
-"gee thanks kid!"
He says grabbing the drink.
-"oh! And we're gonna need another one of these"
He says, holding up the ketchup bottle he had drank. Tyler looks at him confused and gives an awkward laugh.
-"my uncle"
I clarify.
-"o-oh he seems..interesting?"
-"indeed"
I reply, trying hard to ignore him.
-"woah what's that?"
Tyler says pointing down at the diary and sitting beside me. I scoot away a bit.
-"your father gave you clear instructions not to be near me"
I state.
-"well my dads not here and I'm on break"
I think for a moment and decide to scoot closer to him again, his arm practically around me.
-"it's the monster"
I say. This is fine, I can trust Tyler.
-"w-Woah"
He says examining the page.
-"Tyler!"
We turn as we hear the sheriff enter.
-"what'd I say?"
He asks disappointedly. Me and Tyler turn to look at Fester but he's already vanished. We both stand up as the sheriff comes near.
-"for the record, Wednesday was trying to keep her distance. I was the one that sat down with her"
Tyler states, trying to avoid me from getting into any trouble. The sheriff sighs and hands us a flyer.
-"there's a suspect in a bank robbery, real creep. Have you seen him?"
He asks. I look down and immediately recognize it as uncle Fester.
-"no."
I state.
-"y-yeah he'd be pretty hard to miss, i'll keep a look out though"
Tyler says, acting along with me. The sheriff clearly doesn't believe us but just shakes his head and walks away.
-"your families very...colorful"
Tyler says with a slight laugh as he looks down at the flyer again.
-"ironic considering Festers the black sheep"
He smiles again.
-"so, about rescheduling our date.."
-"what?"
-"you still owe me a date, think of it as...compensation for almost getting me killed the other night"
He says with a slight laugh.
-"I can't leave campus"
-"you won't have to. Meet me at Crackstones crypt tonight"
-"...fine"
I say reluctantly as my face begins to heat up again.

Yoko's pov:

As I'm walking through the halls I notice Wednesday seeming a lot..happier?
-"Wednesday!"
I call after her and surprisingly she stops.
-"yes?"
-"you seem to be in a good mood, you and Enid make up?"
I ask, hopefully.
-"no. I just think I'm finally starting to crack this case. Besides I don't need Enid, I have a date with Tyler tonight"
D-date with Tyler?? No! My ship! It's sinking!
-"was that all?"
She asks, clearly getting bored of the conversation.
-"I feel like there was something else but yeah that's all"
She nods and then walks off. Damn it I was so sure Wednesday was in love with Enid, there's no way I could've read the signs wrong. I then walk into my dorm and see Enid on her bed seeming much happier than she had been.

-"hey, you in a good mood?"
I ask, slightly confused.
-"yep!"
She replies happily.
-"any reason?"
-"I talked with Mrs. Thornhill earlier"
-"oh about you moving in officially?"
-"well kinda, but I've decided not to go through with it"
I can feel my expression growing more confused.
-"oh? What changed your mind?"
-"well we started talking about Wednesday and well I think me and her have something too special to give up on, opposites attract right? Somethings always gonna be pulling us towards each other"
She says happily. I feel a pit form in my stomach. Oh poor Enid.
-"r-right Yoko?"
-"umm y-yeah, of course. Y'all are made for each other"
I reply awkwardly, trying to be optimistic. God please don't let things work out with Tyler tonight.
