If It Happens (Wenclair)

A few days have passed and in that time all the students of Nevermore were introduced to their new Principle, headmaster Aster, a vampire that aged like fine wine after centuries of being created. It seemed like all the teenage boys and gay girls couldn't get enough of her which was a disturbing thought. When do vampires even become of legal age for.. anything? Think about it.

Wednesday went to go visit Xavier in his art studio but he wasn't there, so instead she looked through his newest pieces. Dark fortresses, a Transylvania style castle, and what was this? A painting of Aster at her desk with a smirk. "She gives me weird vibes" Xavier's voice erupted as he appeared out of nowhere. "I'm not like the other guys here I'm not in some Aster fantasy. She scares me a little bit" he said walking towards Wednesday.

"She is a blood sucking outcast but I'm assuming that's not what you're afraid of. Has anything happened to make you not trust her?" He sighed and said "not exactly. She just asked me about you and wondered if I was close with you. I told her that you and I have a complicated relationship."

"What exactly do you mean?" Wednesday asked in her monotone voice. He stammered a bit "well-I mean- well how we kind of had our own thing going on but never dated.. you know?" She subtly raised an eyebrow. "No you had a thing for me. I never disclosed any sort of information to make you think I wanted you back."

"Ouch."

She left the art studio unsure of how to even say goodbye to him after that. He was acting strange since the last time she saw him. Xavier says things that make him seem like he is flirting or wants to be with her but there was a bitter taste in his mouth whenever he spoke. I've got my eye on you.

Enid was standing outside the studio doors, nearly giving Wednesday a small reaction. "Whatcha doing in there?" She asked peering behind to see inside the studio. "I was going to say hi to Xavier and ask his opinion on my stalker situation but now I'm not sure if I should. What are you doing here?"

Enid took Wednesday's hand and urgently whisked her away. "When you weren't at Eugene's hive I assumed you'd be here. Don't tell me you are getting sus with Xavier AGAIN? You thought he was like, totally the bad guy last time and he wasn't. Anddd I'm here to pick you up and take you to Jericho!" The goth girl smacked away Enid's hand after a second of not realizing what was happening. "I'll think whatever I want of him. He is acting strange and seems like he's flirting and bringing up stuff from last semester but it's different somehow."

"Oh. Um. Flirting? I thought- you know what let's not talk about him right now" Enid pursed her lips and looked away as she spoke. Wednesday was trying to figure out what the problem was but let it go. "Why are we going to Jericho?" The werewolf loosened up a smidge and said "ok you're going to hate me but I need your help shopping and I know it's not your thing but-"

Wednesday cut through with "no. Are you out of your mind? I can barely handle the pink reflection the window shines through in our room and you want me to willingly go inside of some girly store?" Enid have her the puppy dog eyes and pouted. "This is really important to me Weds, I need your opinion! I want to look my best so I can ask someone out and I can NOT do it wearing something ugly."

After a few minutes of debating back and forth they both ended up in Jericho at some over the top girly shop with the most revolting colors Wednesday had ever seen. "I am sitting in this corner and not moving so you have to bring the clothes over but I will warn you that my honesty will definitely hurt you. And you asked for this." Wednesday sat in a dull corner on a black stool trying to gather her sanity. 

The first outfit made Wednesday vomit in her mouth a little bit. The most vicious pink fur coat and  lighter pink leggings. She didn't even have to say anything. A couple outfits later Enid groaned "yeah you're awful at girl talk and shopping help I am never doing this with you again." Wednesday rolled her eyes. "Why didn't you ask someone else to come with you? Who are you even trying to ask out?"

There was a big grin and a upwards head tilt from Enid. "I'm not telling you who it is until I get a yes or a no whenever I decide to do it. If it's a no, you'll never hear about it again but if it's a yes then I am going to go absolutely crazy and tell you all about it. All or nothing."

"Again, why me and not Yoko or even Eugene? He has no fashion sense but at least he'd be able to breathe in here." Enid rolled her eyes. "Because you're my best friend and if this outfit is a total fail I can blame you and you'll have to deal with the fact that my dating life is on your hands. Love to see Wednesday win, and secretly love to see her fail."

Finally Enid came out with a deep plum colored matching skirt and coat. The skirt had black pleated lining and the coat was fluffy which suited Enid's personality more than the color. "I'm thinking if I wore these I'd wear like a white shirt with it or something. It's not my first choice but the color is unique and to die for and I thought to myself 'if my bestie is going to say yes to anything it would be this.' So? What do you think?"

"Buy it and we can get the hell out of here."

"Ok but do you like it? For real, be honest with me."

Wednesday sighed and pictured Enid in the clothes she presented. She would look really good in that color and I think she would honestly look kind of cute in that coat.. "as much as it pains me to say, yes I like it." The only reason it pains me is because I'm a bit jealous she's doing it for someone else.  Wait- I'm jealous?

"Earth to Wednesday? I asked if you're ready to go now." Wednesday nodded and watched her friend skip away to pay for her clothes. They quickly headed out of the shop and Enid gave her a wink. The blood rushed to Wednesday's cheeks and she turned her head down to not let it show.

They went back to the dorm room before dinner was served in the dining hall. As Wednesday pounded away on her typewriter Enid and Thing were having a hushed conversation about both of their days.

There was a knock on the door followed by it slowly opening and Aster stepping in. "Hello girls I'm here to personally introduce myself. I am Headmaster Aster, I see you two have settled in well? Ms.Addams I'd love to have a word with you in my office."

Well this will be good.
