Enid Sinclair was having a difficult day. She woke up feeling out of sorts and everything seemed to be going wrong. She pouted as she sat on the floor, surrounded by her toys, her frustration bubbling over.

Wednesday Addams, Yoko, and Davina were all in the room, sensing Enid's crankiness. Wednesday had already noticed the signs of an impending tantrum.

"Enid, do you want to talk about what's bothering you?" Wednesday asked gently, kneeling beside her little girlfriend.

Enid shook her head vigorously, her lower lip jutting out stubbornly. "No, Mama. I don't wanna."

Yoko and Davina exchanged concerned looks. Yoko crouched down beside Enid, her expression sympathetic. "Hey, Enid, it's okay to feel upset sometimes. But we need to find a better way to handle those feelings."

Enid crossed her arms and turned away, a little growl of frustration escaping her lips. "No! I don't wanna talk!"

Wednesday sighed softly. "Enid, you know we're here to help you. But if you can't behave, you might need a little timeout to calm down."

Enid's eyes flashed with defiance. "No timeout! I'm not bad!" she shouted, throwing one of her toys across the room.

Yoko calmly retrieved the toy, while Davina approached Enid with a gentle but firm demeanor. "Enid, it's not about being bad. It's about learning how to express yourself without hurting others or yourself."

Enid pouted, but the stern yet caring look from all three caregivers made her realize she had pushed too far. She reluctantly allowed Wednesday to take her by the hand and lead her to a designated timeout corner in their dorm room.

"You'll sit here for a few minutes, Eni, until you feel ready to join us and talk," Wednesday said gently but firmly, placing Enid on a soft cushion.

Enid huffed but didn't resist, knowing deep down that her caregivers only wanted what was best for her. She sat with her arms crossed, sulking as she watched Yoko and Davina tidy up the mess she had made.

After a few minutes, her anger began to fade, replaced by a feeling of remorse. She didn't like being separated from her caregivers, and she missed their comforting presence.

Wednesday approached her, kneeling down to Enid's level. "Are you ready to talk now, Eni?"

Enid nodded slowly, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm sowwy, Mama. I didn't mean to be bad."

Wednesday's expression softened, and she pulled Enid into a gentle hug. "It's okay, Eni. We all have bad days. But we need to learn how to handle our feelings better."

Yoko and Davina joined them, wrapping Enid in a warm, group hug. Yoko brushed a tear from Enid's cheek. "We're here for you, Enid. Always."

Davina nodded, smiling gently. "We just want you to feel safe and loved. But we also need you to understand that throwing things and shouting isn't the way to get what you need."

Enid sniffled, feeling a mixture of relief and gratitude. "Tank you, Yoko. Tank you, Davina. I'll twy to be better."

Wednesday kissed the top of Enid's head, holding her close. "That's all we ask, Eni. We love you, no matter what."

As the day went on, Enid felt a renewed sense of comfort and security in the presence of her caregivers. She knew that she was loved and accepted, even when she had difficult days.

With Wednesday, Yoko, and Davina by her side, she felt ready to face any challenge, knowing that she was never alone.
