Persephone and Hades

Doubts

Gomez and Fester were both enjoying a glass of brandy with a cigar, while watching some home videos that were taped when they were young. All of the mischief and mayhem they got into. At one point, it showed them dressing up as sharks at a lake to scare people in a boat with some dynamite. The brothers were laughing and pointing.

Fester was grinning genuinely and pointed. "Camp Custer."

Gomez smiled and laughed while nodding.

Another clip showed the two brothers dressed in suits as young adults approaching a pair of adjoined twin women.

Gomez suddenly frowned while putting his glass down. "There! The Debutante Ball, remember that fateful night?"

Fester paused and looked between the screen and Gomez before guessing as he sees Gomez smoking on screen. "Your first cigar."

Gomez looked at him disappointed again. "What? Come on old man, I've smoked since I was five. Mother insisted."

Fester then pointed at the twins. "Flora... and Fauna."

"Can you ever forgive me?" Gomez then asked passionately.

Fester then froze and looked at him confused. "What?"

Gomez looked sadly at the screen. "I didn't love them, yet I wooed them both out of foolish pride. You were so dashing, you could have any woman you wanted, dead or alive. Yet I was jealous. Insanely jealous." Gomez then turns to Fester and grabs his wrist. "I admit that now, but I didn't mean to drive you off. Not to the Bermuda Triangle." Gomez looked at Fester sadly and pleadingly to be forgiven.

Fester then smiled falsely at him. "Water under the bridge. Forgiven. Forgotten."

Gomez smiled widely and then pulled Fester into a hug briefly.

After a moment, Gomez then wrestled him playfully into a chokehold. Fester was confused and aggravated with the man.

"Come on, say it." Gomez told him breathlessly. "Say the secret password."

Fester was choking and coughed out, "Password? Wha..."

"Stop fooling, you remember." Gomez encouraged.

Fester tried to pull Gomez's arms from his neck, "Please, I'm choking."

Gomez frowned and released him and pushed him onto the ground. Gomez gazed at him frustrated. "You forgot our secret password? The word we used a hundred times a day, our special private name for each other?"

Fester snapped, rubbing his neck as he glared at Gomez. "That was a long time ago, when we were children! You almost killed me, you demented freak!"

Gomez sighed and shook his head. "Poor devil, what did they do to you in that Bermuda Triangle?"

Wednesday finished tied down Pugsley's arms and legs and pulled the head cap down over his head as Pugsley asked, "If he's not Uncle Fester, then who is he?"

"Someone else." Wednesday stated bluntly as he walked over to the wall of leavers for the chair.

"Persephone, come pull the switches to warm it up." Wednesday waved Persephone over, who stood up curiously and walked over.

Persephone went to one of the switches and looked at Wednesday, "This one?" She asked and he nodded as he stepped up to stand behind her.

Pugsley tried to turn his head, "Why?"

"So it can kill you." Wednesday said as he watched Persephone intently.

Persephone pulled down the first switch and then Wednesday pulled the next one. They pulled down the other two when Wednesday turned to Persephone and asked her, "Together?"
