Wednesday's pov:

As I enter the dorm I see papers scattered across the floor. Cautiously I walk in and see the room is completely wrecked. My desk is tipped over, my chair legs are smashed, and my lamps are either fallen or shattered.
-"the diary!"
I say in a harsh whisper as I remember it. I walk further into the room.
-"Thing?"
No response. I then hear the sound of a liquid drop hit the floor and turn to look at the wall. There above the arch I see Thing pinned to the wall with a knife. My eyes widen in horror and I rush over. I stand on my tippy toes and remove the knife, carefully grabbing Thing. He's not moving, I don't know what to do. Fuck he's like my only friend why the fuck won't he move!?

I dash out of the school running as fast as I possibly can, holding back any possible tears until finally I burst into the bee shed.
-"uncle Fester help!"
I yell and he instantly wakes up startled.
-"help! Help! Help! Thing's not moving!"
I say holding poor Thing in my hands.
-"get him on the table"
He commands. In a hurry I push everything off the desk and place Thing on there. Uncle fester uses his hands to send electrical charges through Thing but nothing's working. He still won't move, not even a twitch. I feel the tears well up in my eyes and my lip begins to quiver as I try to hold it in. After a few more tries Fester looks at me with pity then down at Thing.
-"I'm sorry but I think h-he's gone Wednesday..."
He says looking down. I pull Thing closer to me.
-"Thing. If you die...I WILL kill you."
I say sternly, clenching my jaw trying not to cry. I then push him back towards uncle Fester. Fester just looks at me and I slam my hand on the table.
-"Again please!"
I say angrily and quickly he start's trying to shock Thing again. After about 4 more tries it finally works. Things fingers start to slightly move and my jaw drops.

As I blink a few tears fall but I quickly wipe them away. My breath is still shaky but I'm trying to remain as calm as possible. Uncle fester sighs and leans back in relief.
-"thought we almost lost ya there buddy"
He says. Thing inches towards me a bit.
-"w-who did this to you?"
I say as anger starts to well inside me. He signs saying he wasn't able to see who it was.
-"knife from behind the back.. cowards!"
I yell. Uncle fester looks back down at me with much sympathy and a slight smile. I wipe my face again.
-"I-I'll go stitch him back up.."
I say picking up Thing.
-"thank you.."
-"anytime kiddo"
-"the police found your motorcycle, maybe next time steal something a little less conspicuous"
I say with a slight sniffle. He laughs a bit.
-"wheres the fun in that?"
He asks.

Enid's pov:

-"ugh I've just had the weirdest date with....yoko?"
I ask as I enter the room. Yoko's sitting on her bed her eyes widened in what I can only assume to be fear as she hangs up the phone.
-"h-hey what's wrong?"
I ask walking towards her.
-"u-um I think you should sit down"
I feel something in my heart sink as she says this and reluctantly I sit on my bed.
-"Wednesdays room was ransacked and something of hers has been stolen. Just about everything in the room is a mess and broken but um...Things hurt"
Yoko says grabbing onto my hands and looking up at me. My eyes almost instantly widen and I feel as a few tears leave my eyes.
-"is- is he ok!? Is Wednesday ok!?"
I ask standing up practically shouting. Yoko stands up and tries to sit me back down.
-"shhh shhh I don't know, I don't know. That's all Weems has told us, we're also not allowed to leave our rooms for the remainder of the night"
I squeeze onto my bed sheets in anger.
-"no. I need to know if their ok! Was there ANY word about Wednesday!?"
-"n-no Weems didn't really mention her besides her room being trashed"
-"fuck this"
I say standing up and marching to the door. As I open the door there Mrs. Thornhill catches me.
-"oh Enid, going somewhere?"
She asks.
-"I- please let me see Wednesday..."
I say putting my head down a bit. She slightly frowns.
-"I'm sorry but I don't think I can do that"
-"b-but I need to know if her and Thing are ok!"
I ask looking up at her desperately with tears in my eyes.
-"well... I did just see Wednesday talking with Weems not to long ago but I didn't see her little friend so I don't know. I'm sure their ok Enid, just get some rest alright?"
She says placing her hand on my shoulder. I frown but reluctantly decide to agree with her.
-"alright... thanks Mrs. Thornhill"
I say with a slight smile.
-"anytime Enid"
She says warmly with a smile and then leaves.

I walk back to my bed and collapse. Who the fuck could've done this!?
-"rough night?"
Yoko asks.
-"yep but to top it all off you might be right about me and Ajax"
I say with a slight sigh. She scoffs.
-"well duh, but I think you'll be pleased with what I found in the laundry room today"
She says standing up from her bed. I sit up and watch her grab something from the closet.
-"I know it's not like she's actually here but this should be an ok substitute for tonight right? I figured you probably miss her more than you've lead on"
Yoko says holding up one of Wednesdays under hoodies. I instantly jump up and grab it pulling it into a hug and begin crying.
-"omg Thank you so much Yoko! You have no idea how much I've missed her"
She smiles a bit and tussles my hair.
-"you should go there tomorrow"
She says.
-"oh believe me the second we're set free from our rooms I'll be there"
