Enid's pov:

-"alright! Everybody get on stage, anyone coming to watch, gather around. Let's get this insult to dance over with"
Refrus's voice yells through the mic.
-"he doesn't sound too excited"
Wednesday shakes her head.
-"no there's only a few members of the family he actually enjoys dancing. That would be my parents, Lansel, and my uncle Minks"
-"4 people out of your ENTIRE family!??"
Wednesday nods.
-"don't worry. We'll be fine"
She says, taking my hand as we walk back to the stage.

One of Wednesdays aunts and uncles preforms doing a Walts to some slow German song. They score a 19/30. Refrus of course gave them the lowest score, I dunno why he's so uptight.
-"anyways, let's get Wednesday and the pastel girl up here"
He says, and just as requested we walk up. My heart is beating crazy and I can barely hear anything other than my own heartbeat.
-"you ok?"
Wednesday asks. I nod And the music starts. We samba in place for a bit until breaking out in a salsa. Wednesday spins me around and dips me.
-"what kinda song did you pick??"
I laugh and she spins me again.
-"why? Don't like it?"
I reply, practically yelling over the music as I laugh. After another minute the song is over. It's now time for our score.

Refrus is looking down at us intensely. So hard it looks like a vein might pop from his forehead. Guess my song choice wasn't that great... whoops :/

Cousin Itt makes his weird high pitched noises but apparently that means he gave us a score of 10. Wednesday's great aunt gives us a 7.5 and next it's time for Refrus's judgment.
-"you know I hate when you dance don't you Wednesday?"
He asks. She rolls her eyes and nods.
-"and yet...you pick the WORST partner, the WORST music, and decide to do just about the worst choreography I've ever seen!?"
Wednesday just looks at him but doesn't say a word.
-"you get a 3.5 now go"
He says, shooing us.
-"hey that's not fair!"
I yell out and the crowd gasps and takes a step back. Even Wednesday looks at me confused.
-"what did you say, child?"

-"I-I said that's not fair! Wednesday worked really hard and even took the time to teach me how to dance. Besides she didn't even know what song I picked so she wasn't able to really plan our choreography, we basically just free-styled!"
-"oh so I see, the new comer is the reason this routine was so bad?"
He asks, rolling his eyes dismissively.
-"it wasn't ruined!"
-"I was one of the most sought after choreographers in the world and you dare tell ME about dance!?"
He yells. I take a step back and my eyes sting with tears. Holy...this guys actually scary. Wednesday sighs and picks up an arrow. She shoots it and it sticks barely a centimeter from Refrus's head.

His eyes widen and he looks a bit scared and at a lose for words.
-"Wednesday Addams!! WHAT is the meaning of this!?"
She sighs.
-"you made my girlfriend cry, I saw an arrow, it was the quickest solution. I apologize. Come on Enid"
She says, taking my hand as we begin walking off stage.

Wednesdays pov:

-"their disqualified, disqualified ok!?"
-"ok ok"
Aunt Filtz replies. Cousin Itt calls my parents to the stage and soon their music starts but me and Enid just keep walking back to the house.
-"w-Wednesday I'm sorry, I-it's just he kept saying mean things about you and I know how competitive you can get and how hard you worked and-"
-"Enid. Slow down your practically hyperventilating. It's fine by the way I've never one the dance competition before"
-"you haven't?"
She asks, sniffing a bit. I shake my head.
-"no, my parents win almost every year. I'm happy we got to dance together though, it means a lot to me. That's all I wanted anyways so....don't worry about it"
I say, looking away a bit as my cheeks heat up.

-"let's go get some hot chocolate. We can hang out in my room then go to the balcony when fireworks start"
-"ok... your Grandpa is really scary you know.."
She says with a pouty face, still sniffing a bit.
-"Refrus? I'm sorry he yelled at you"
