Talia and Harper made their way toward the subway station so they could walk with Alex to school.

"What'd you make?" they heard Max ask Justin as they entered. Max decided to make two of his crazy sandwiches while Justin looked at it in disgust.

"A sandwich, not a dumpster," he answered as he put his sandwich in his backpack. "Tuna fish on wheat."

Harper grinned widely with a scoff as she motioned toward Justin's bag, it was very obvious that she had a huge crush on him. "Tuna fish on wheat? That's gonna be our sandwich," she said. Justin held his bag close to his chest in fright. "Do you know what our song is?"

He looked at Talia when he noticed Max handing her the second sandwich he had made. Justin tried not to blush at the redhead as he asked her, "Hey, Talia, are you sure you want to eat that?"

Talia slid the sandwich into her bag and answered, "Yeah, I always enjoyed eating whatever crazy concoction Max makes... sandwich-wise. My stomach is still recovering from the smoothie he made me."

Justin began stuttering, which annoyed Alex to the point she rolled her eyes. "Are you sure you don't want to switch sandwiches? I think I have enough time to make you something."

"No, thanks. I don't want you to mess up your sweater." Talia went to grab her phone and spotted Justin's girlfriend, Miranda, entering the shop.  She turned to give him a teasing smirk. "Ooooh, Justin's girlfriend's here."

"She is?" he questioned. See, in his head, he thought Talia was talking about herself. That's until she nodded her head towards Miranda that Justin had to mentally scold himself. Of course, she's talking about Miranda, not herself. "She is!" Justin went around Max to head toward Miranda.

Talia watched with a smile at the two. "Ok, I know they're complete opposites, but you gotta admit they're cute together."

"I'll give you $5 to tell him that," Alex wagered. It did strike her as odd that Justin agreed to go out with Miranda, but if it got him to back off Talia then she wouldn't argue. He could date a ghost and she wouldn't care.

Miranda was looking around the shop in awe. "Oh, I love your family's shop. Have you ever thought of maybe blacking out the windows and painting the walls, I don't know, black?"

"Yeah, I think you're gonna be easy to shop for," Justin joked before they left.

Harper could only watch in jealously. "He's hanging out with that goth girl, Morticia," she finished with a shiver at the end.

"It's Miranda," Alex corrected. "Look, Harper, as your best friend, I'm gonna give it to you straight. I think he really likes this girl. Sorta."

"Fine, but it's so totally obvious that he's dating her because she looks like me."

That was beyond the truth. Harper is more happy and peppy. Miranda is cooler and edgy. Even their color schemes are different.

"Yeah, you both have...faces," Alex trailed off.

"If Miranda is Morticia, does that make Alex, Wednesday?" Talia wondered. "Then can I be Gomez? Wait, no! Justin would be Gomez." She gasped as an idea came to her head. "Fester. I want to be Fester!"

"Why Fester?" Harper asked.

"Because -"

The trio stopped when they heard Mr. and Mrs. Russo scream in joy before dancing in the middle of the sub-station and continued to dance toward the kitchen.

"Unbelievable," Alex muttered in disbelief.

Harper nodded with a smile. "I know. Your parents are so cool!"
