Spell It Out

The Consequence of Telling

 Divina sighed as the door flew open once again, grabbing her phone and pretending to be bored at whatever was the first thing on it.

Yoko very quickly and subtly shifted away from her on the bed. "Enid", she groans. "Do you ever knock?

The werewolf in question waltzes in, plopping down next to them on the bed that seemed to be getting smaller by the minute. Frowning, she seemed to consider the question seriously before answering, "I do! Especially when I know Wednesday is in the room."

"Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday. She's got you wrapped around her pale little finger", Yoko replied, grabbing a magazine off her nightstand and flipping through it. Even if the rest of the world wouldn't believe the engagement, Yoko did. She had practically called it that they were going to get together, it was just that Enid had taken them all as teasing jokes.

"You don't understand, she just did the most romantic thing today!" Enid gushed. Divina rolled her eyes and Yoko mentally prepared herself. Wednesday Addams was a lot of things, but romantic was not one of them. So they could be forgiven if they were slightly skeptical.

That didn't stop Enid from recounting the entire day starting from preparing for their date in the same room (apparently Enid found Wednesday's deadpan critiques of her outfits charmingly truthful).

By the end, Yoko had dropped the magazine, genuine surprise overcoming her features. "Wow. Wouldn't Wednesday kill you if she knew you told us she did all that?"

"Wait, does that make us assassination targets now?!" Divina added.

Leave it up to Enid's friends to focus on the wrong thing. They didn't even take time to indulge her gushing on the romantic heart and aisle of candles. It was all the better, Enid supposed. Their reactions made it easier for Enid to remember the reason why she had come here in the first place. "That's not what we should be worried about right now."

"Girl, we're going to be murdered by an Addams and you're telling us we shouldn't worry? You better be telling us the world is ending next", Yoko cried, still not catching on to Enid's concern.

"It might as well be! My world as I know it will be ending! Wednesday wants to tell our parents", Enid said, sporting a dramatic pout. This was probably one of the few times that the drama in Enid's reaction was warranted.

"Oh. That's why you stormed in here in a panic." Yoko patted Enid's back sympathetically.

"What do I do?" Enid murmured miserably, eyes down upon the bed, colorful locks covering her face. She really did look like her entire world was crumbling around her. Anyone who was Enid's true friend knew how much her family and pack meant to her. To choose a gorgon was one thing, but a human? Being kicked out wasn't the worst punishment a teen werewolf could receive. Not by far.

"Well you could say no", Divina suggested. It was the simplest escape to this dilemma.

Enid's shoulder's only drooped further. "I can't, cause Wednesday's right. They'll hear of this soon enough and it's better coming from our mouths."

"I think it's smart to get it over with", Yoko encouraged. While Yoko's heart hurt for Enid, she also knew that babying her would do her friend no good. If Enid was to be with Wednesday, and Yoko was quite sure they were going to be together for a while, then this was going to come up sooner or later.

"What? No, if you're not ready just tell Wednesday that. You have to communicate", Divina argued, the opposite argument coming to mind. If the pain could be delayed and the joy extended, then why not keep the happiness a little longer?

"Are you serious right now? It'll be so much worse if they wait. That is Wednesday communicating what needs to be done," Yoko argued, snapping her head toward Divina.
