Wednesday walks to the door and opens it slowly. She breathes a sigh of relief that it's a familiar face

WEDNESDAY

Enid? What the hell are you doing here?

She walks in pulling two huge bags on wheels, she steps through the door looking all around at the kerfuffle

ENID

I'm your date for the ball silly

She steps forward and wraps her arms around Wednesday. Wednesday doesn't move but allows Enid to hold her for a moment

WEDNESDAY

What? Why? How? Did my mother call you?

ENID

The other day you accidentally voice messaged me the conversation you were having with your mother. I hated the idea of you going alone to a ball and your mother said she didn't care who you brought so... ta da!

They both stand in silence

ENID

Please don't be mad. Surely I'm better than some blind date your Mom has set for you?

WEDNESDAY

A world better. Thank you for coming

A figure emerges from behind them, Enid looks up and smiles

ENID

Mrs Addams! I hope you don't mind me intruding! Wednesday has asked me to accompany her to the ball tomorrow night...

MORTICIA

Not at all! That's wonderful news. It's a pleasure to have you Enid, please let Lurch take your bags and help you get settled

Enid hands her bags to Lurch and shoots Wednesday a huge smile

WEDNESDAY'S ROOM - NIGHT

Enid lays on Wednesday's bed next to her

ENID

Thanks for letting me sleep in your bed. Your house still creeps me out a little bit... and your extended family...

WEDNESDAY

Not a problem just no spooning or touching me in general ok? Stay on your side

Enid smiles and nods

ENID

Got it! So... did you even look for a date or were you just trying to come up with a fancy way of getting out of it?

WEDNESDAY

I glanced at my contacts, but I don't have any friends here, and everyone at Nevermore is... not date worthy? I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea. I'm asking someone to a ball, it has romantic connotations. I don't want to set myself up with anyone by accident
