Opposites attract

Santa Claus

Enid's pov:

I turn a bit and am reminded of my broken leg. Chase and my mother aren't gonna be too pleased about this. I pat the right side of the bed where Wednesday was and feel she's not there. It's dark and quiet. I must've slept through the rest of the competitions.
-"wens?"
I call out. I hear a slight rustle.
-"Wednesday you there?"
I ask, sitting up and stretching as best I can. I hear footsteps on the creaky wooden floor.
-"yes I'm here, do you need anything mon amour?"
She replies, reaching the bed and looking down at me concerned.

I shake my head.
-"no I'm fine, what are you up to?"
She's silent for a moment.
-"don't laugh"
She says.
-"oh boy"
-"I'm hunting Santa Claus"
I can't help but laugh just a bit, but I cover my mouth quickly. She rolls her eyes and returns to the bag she was messing with by her bed.
-"wens help me out"
I say, trying to get out of bed.
-"Enid you mustn't move around so much, your foot needs to heal"
-"nuh uh help me out, I wanna see what your up to"

She sighs and helps remove my leg from the thing elevating it. She gently brings my foot to the edge of the bed so I can sit down and face her properly.
-"so do you always hunt Santa?"
I ask. She nods.
-"yes. Mr. Klause is a danger and a criminal, it is a yearly tradition that me and Frester set traps and stalk him to the best of our abilities....but alas he alludes us almost every time"
She....is so....ADORABLE!!! Omg I can'tttttt! Wednesday you precious little thing.
-"aww my poor Wednesday"
-"Enid."
-"right sorry"
I reply with a slight laugh.

-"so whatcha got there?"
I ask.
-"it's a tablet connected to thermal trackers. It's also connected to the cameras outside"
She explains.
-"Thing is going to help me double check the traps right now"
So cute.
-"so you take this pretty seriously huh?"
I ask.
-"yes. Fester has had almost a life long vendetta against him. Ever since they met 25 years ago"
-"ohh ok..wait what-!? Your uncle's met Santa!?"
She nods.
-"yes they got in a fight over a bet and that oversized elf cheated his way out"
-"woah...but Festers not here. Right?"
I ask, slightly annoyed. I really don't like her uncle.

She shakes her head as she ties her shoes.
-"no he's not but it doesn't really matter, that jolly old fat man must pay"
I try to hide my smile and laugh a bit. I love how serious she is about this.

Wednesday's pov:

-"lemme help"
Enid says.
-"what?"
-"I wanna help, I'd like to see some of the traps you've set"
I think for a moment.
-"but...you're hurt."
I state. She rolls her eyes.
-"and? Lurch did give me crutches y'know"
-"I suppose....very well, you can come with but only inside"
She nods happily and I grab her crutches.

-"so what happened with the competition?"
She asks as we walk the hallway.
-"Thing won"
-"oh wow really? I'll have to congratulate him but I was sure your dad was gonna win"
-"he never does, he can't bear to face off against mother"
She nods.
-"yeahhh that certainly makes sense. He's definitely the romantic love above all type"
She replies. We make our way down to the Christmas tree and sit on the couch.

She begins humming some Christmas songs as we watch the cameras.
-"omg wait! Wens!"
She suddenly yells out, startling me.
-"yes?"
-"does this mean he's not gonna give us presents?? What if we catch him!? Do we get nothing!?"
She asks, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me. I slightly push her hands off of me.
-"believe me, capturing and torturing him will be gift enough"
She pouts. I know she doesn't like torture.

I clear my throat and decide to change the topic.
-"so how have things been at home? Any better now that you've wolfed out?"
She sighs.

Enid's pov:

The first thing that comes to mind is Tony. Is he worth mentioning? I look at Wednesday and decide not to concern her.
-"oh y'know my moms still a bit...but haha oh well, my relationship with my brothers have been better. Especially with chase, he's one of my other brothers"
I say. She nods.
-"that's quite nice. I'm glad"
-"yeahhh"
-"so nothings been troubling you?"
Tony.
-"no no not really, my parents tried to set me up with someone though, could you believe it?"

I awkwardly laugh but she just looks at me. Clearly unamused and even growing upset.
-"what."
She says sternly.
-"d-don't worry wens it was before we were even dating, it was just some guy my moms been hoping I'd take interest in"
She nods.
-"name. Age. Phone number. Address"
She says, taking out a pen. I laugh and wrap her in a hug.
-"I'm serious"
She says sternly, but still making a cute pout.
-"oh wens your absolutely adorable"

She breaks the hug and glares at me.
-"you know some find me rather intimidating"
She says and I laugh again.
-"well some people aren't your girlfriend"
I say, cupping her face in my hand.

Wednesday's pov:

I sigh. Enid's too good at making me put my guard down, she knows how to bring out a soft gooey side of me that I hadn't known existed. This'll prove to be a problem later but for now...I don't mind getting lost in her innocent, loving, blue eyes.

Morticia's pov:

Me and Gomez creep into the living room to see a man tied up, dangling about the fireplace.
-"hello Nickolas"
I say. He glares.
-"you know Morticia this is getting rather annoying"
He says, as me and Gomez help untie him.
-"I know I know, but would you just look at her cute little face"
Gomez says in a baby voice, gesturing to our sweet Wednesday who is currently passed out on the couch in her girlfriends embrace.

Nick sighs as he dusts himself off. He looks down at Enid and Wednesday.
-"ok yeah their quite adorable. Y'know...Wednesday looks so sweet when she's resting"
He says with a smile. Me and Gomez smile fondly as we look down at our darling daughter.
-"we truly do appreciate you going through all the trouble just to deliver our gifts"
I say.
-"oh yeah well you know, it is my job. Besidessss anything for you Addams'"
I go and fetch him some milk as he unpacks the gifts and talks to Gomez.

I grab the tablet from Wednesday, bring extra carful not to wake her, and delete the footage. As I'm placing the tablet back in Wednesday's hands Enid wakes up and looks at the three of us.
-"shhh"
I say with a smile and wink, raising my finger to my mouth. She smiles and nods, cuddling Wednesday again. Perhaps she's not all bad.
