"I think he had a sword, and they certainly have issues. I don't like to tell tales, Sheriff Walker, but it's all Morticia Frump's fault." A younger Principal Weems cried to the sheriff. "They were fighting over her."

"Tish..." A younger Gomez said looking at a young Morticia as was walked out in hand cuffs with the officers by his side.

"I don't know what to say, Gomez." She began as she looked at him longingly, "Seeing you in handcuffs, accused of murder... I've never loved you more."

"Cara mia."

"All right, that's enough, Addams." An officer spoke, "Let's go. Let's move it out."

As the police car with Gomes inside drove off Morticia looked on sadly.

"Are you alright?" A voice from behind her called. Turning to look who was talking to her she met eyes with a tall scrawny boy wearing large glasses.

"I'm fine." She replied.

"I apologize..." The boy spoke before pausing and looking down, "I know how much you care about him."

"My Gomes won't be held for long. there's noting to be sorry for." She said examining the boy, "Why are you here?"

"Oh- I was in the quad when it happened..." He said as he glanced back to the school, "I was the one who called the police."

Morticia looked at him a bit confused, "So you heard it all?"

"Yeah, I really thought they would get here before anything bad happened." He spoke.

"it's not your fault the police couldn't help." She said causing the two to fall into a silence.

"We should head inside." He replied turning around and walking toward the school. Morticia following close behind.

"What's your name?" she asks.

"Warren, uh- Hendricks." The boy replied.

"What a hateful day to meet you." Morticia says with a smile.

Wendi runs down the steps of her dorm hall, her excitement overflowing knowing that here mother was staying the weekend for Nevermore's family visitation. Wen was boiling over knowing she'd see her mother after the few months shed been through.

Once outside she noticed Enid and Wednesday standing together waiting to find their parents. She overhears Enid mentioning she wanted to get the weekend over with as she made her way closer to the entrance.

As she eyes landed on her mother Wen let go of a sigh, she didn't know she was holding as she lips spread into a smile. Running up to her mother, Wendi was engulfed into a hug.

"How have you been? I know you said it's been good but that doesn't make me any less worried." Her mother began to badger.

"Yeah, I'm good." Wen replied with an eye roll. "I can't wait for you to meet my friends."

"Oh, she has friends?"

"Yes... she has friends. Some pretty great ones actually." Wendi said moving away from her mother's hug. "They've been helping me figure out what I might be!"

Wendi's mother smiled at that, she was happy her daughter was happy and smiling again. Although she found it hard to believe her daughter inherited any outcast ability, she was happy the she was interested.

As they walked in, Wendi began to explain some of her daily schedule or stuff on the school as her mother followed with a grin as she looked around at all the different outcast happy to see their family again.
