Pie eating

Enid's pov:

Once we arrive at the pie eating basically everyone competing is already there. Xavier walks over holding an ice pack to his face as Ajax walks alongside him.
-"oh Xavier, your back"
Wednesday says. He laughs a bit.
-"yeah, y'know, after nearly getting my nose broken"
He replies.
-"are you at least gonna apologize to Lansel and Leon?"
I ask. He looks at me confused.
-"wait why do I have to apologize to them? All I did was give them some advice and that was to work on their English"
He replies. We all roll our eyes and walk to our seats.

-"wait guys what'd I do??"
He asks, seeming genuinely confused. I don't think he actually understands how what he said was rude. Ajax just shakes his head.
-"just come sit down buddy"
Ajax says in a sigh as he pats the chair next to him. Xavier still looks confused but sits down nonetheless. Lansel and Leon make their way into the audience and Leon walks over to take a seat.
-"oh you're participating as well Leon?"
I ask. He smiles and nods happily. Xavier rolls his eyes and blows a piece of hair out of his face as we wait for the competition to start.

-"ahhh well if it isn't miss Wednesday Addams"
An odd looking man says, slamming his hands on the table in front of Wednesday. She doesn't even bat an eyelash and barely looks up at him.
-"hello uncle Minks"
She says, clearly annoyed.
-"t-think you're gonna win?"
He asks, stumbling on his words. Ajax leans over to me.
-"Enid is he drunk?"
Ajax whispers. I examine the man as he continues talking to Wednesday, he can barely keep his balance as he stands.
-"holy shit uh I think so"
I whisper back.
-"should we do something or can Wednesday handle it?"
-"I-I mean he's her uncle so it should be fine?"
I reply, uncertainly.

-"and another thing!"
I yells, practically shoving his finger in Wednesdays face as he points to her.
-"OKAY! I think that's about enough, you gonna win this year?"
Mr. Addams asks the man with a bright smile as he places a hand on his shoulder. The man grumbles something and Wednesdays father nods.
-"I understand we're family but do try to refrain from messing with my daughter yeah?"
He says with a smile. Mr. Addams then pulls the man closer.
-"es decir, no aparezcas borracho mañana o podría matarte durante la esgrima"
He says. The man looks at him for a moment then walks to his seat.

-"oh my little storm flower, are you ok??"
Mr. Addams asks Wednesday as he tries to pay her head.
-"yea father I'm fine"
She says, annoyedly as she pushes him off.
-"what are you doing here anyway?"
-"oh you know I can't turn down unlimited pie!"
He says happily, patting his stomach. Wednesday rolls her eyes and her father goes to find a seat.
-"so uh Wednesday"
She tilts her head as she looks at me.
-"what'd he say to your uncle?"
I ask.
-"oh he threatened to kill him if he showed up drunk tomorrow"
She says way to casually. I awkwardly laugh.
-"oh uh o-ok cool"

Wednesday's pov:

The butlers bring out carts of pies. There's about 11 competitors so they've brought out roughly 130 pies. Everyone's expecting cousin Malcom to win though, he's won the last 4 years. The butlers place one pie in front of each of us to start.
-"klaar voor de start, af"
Grammy Frump says. I tap Enid's knee.
-"that means we can start"
I whisper. She smiles and gives me a thumbs up as everyone dives head first into the pies.
-"remember everyone, keep your hands behind your backs"
Uncle Luthor reminds us. I roll my eyes and continue eating. Grammy Frumps pies are so good, though the most I've ever eaten is 3 and a half.

Mother likes to remind me that 3 is a good number and I shouldn't feel bad about losing but still, 3 is nothing compared to the 18 cousin Malcom usually finishes. About 10 minutes later I'm out, I can't take another bite. I don't even know how much I've eaten, it's all a delicious berry blur. Not long after me Yoko and Ajax are out too. Enid seems to be going strong though. Another 7 minutes later and the competition is down to 3 people. Cousin Malcom, Enid, and Leon. I guess I lied about our family not having an eating prodigy. If cousin Malcom is gifted at anything it's definitely eating large amounts of food quickly.

I'd like to be supportive but I'm not expecting Enid to win this. Suddenly Leon's out.
-"ich kann keinen weiteren bissen nehmen"
He wines, leaning back in his chair. Suddenly after a few more minutes cousin Malcom collapsed to the floor and me and the rest of the crowd share a collective gasp.
-"uh o-ok! Seems we have a winner!"
Uncle Luthor raises Enid's hand and my family goes wild. My father jumps up happily.
-"that was amazing! Muy fantástica"
He exclaims.
-"I- I won??"
Enid asks, looking around.
-"yep!"
Luthor says with a nod.
-"settle down while I read the scores"
Uncle Luthor says, straightening out the piece of paper.
-"in last place we have Wednesday Addams with exactly 3 pies"
Damn it.
-"next we have Ajax with 4 and a half along with Yoko having the same score. Next we have cousin Itt with 6 pies, uncle Minks with 7 and a half, granmy Addams with 8, uncle Fester with 10, Xavier with 12, Leon with 16, Malcom with 19, and Enid with 21!"
Enid's jaw drops.
-"I ate 21 pies!?"
I nod.
-"indeed, quite impressive"

Ajax's pov:

Xavier grumbles and crosses his arm as he leans in his chair.
-"Yeah whatever who the fuck cares if she won a stupid pie eating contest, she's a girl she shouldn't be eating so damn much and being rewarded for it"
He mumbles.
-"hey watch it dude, we're just having a good time. Besides, she's a werewolf, I'd be surprised if she didn't win"
I reply with a slight laugh, trying to keep things light. Xavier sighs.
-"yeah I suppose you're right, it can't be helped that she won"
He says with a shrug.
