——'london bridge is falling down'

A FEW MINUTES LATER, agnes and the two maximoff sisters could be found sitting on the couch, studying the magazines agnes had brought over.

"and you don't have a song? nothing special you played at your wedding?" agnes asked

"no nothing special"

"i'll just loan you some records then. so we've got music covered, decor, wardrobe... what about seduction techniques?"

"oh my god" evi mumbled her head sinking into her hands shamefully

"i have those.. i think"

"of course you do!"

"out of curiosity.. what does it say?"

"out of curiosity.. please don't read it out loud!" evi interjected with a pleading look

"don't worry, evi" agnes smiled "it's not as bad as you might think. it just says that you should stumble when you walk into a room.. so he can catch you. it's romantic!"

"any other tricks?" wanda asked doubtful

"you could point out that the death rate of single men is twice that of a married men"

"now that's romantic"

suddenly the phone rang and wanda got up to take the call. "vision residence?"

"vision sweetheart!" she suddenly said making both agnes and evi smile

"is that really true? with the death rate?" evi asked looking over agnes shoulder at the magazine in her hand

"it definitely is, dear" agnes smiled "here, see for yourself" she handed the magazine to evi, who studied it throughly.

"wait the percentages don't even add up, these studies are totally fal-" before she could finish what she was saying wanda loudly talked into the telephone

"until tonight!" before she put down the phone and sat next to the other two again. "what were you saying, evi?"

evi send her a confused look before she just shrugged "sorry, forgotten"

at that both wanda and agnes had to laugh. evi was just too cute sometimes.

———WE'LL RETURN TO THE PROGRAM SHORTLY AFTER ———

"is your husband tired of you burning his toast? try out our new and improved toast mate 2000! it's the go—to for clever housewives" a man says into the camera

"say, this machine has some shine!" a pretty lady exclaims, stepping next to him

"you said it! set that dial and get the taste back into your toast!"

the woman slips two pieces of white bread into the toaster. she presses down the lever and the toaster begins to tick away.

"top and bottom heating elements can handle anything from meatloaf to cherry pie to open—faced cheese sandwiches"

the ticking continues

"the all new toast mate 2000. it's ready when you're ready"

——THIS PRODUCT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU BY STARK INDUSTRIES——

a few hours later, evi was sitting at the kitchen table, reading a book, when she heard voices coming from the living room.

thinking it might be vision who's coming home, she got up and was about to leave the kitchen, when the door opened and both wanda and vision entered the kitchen

"i'm sorry!" evi said "i'm on my way to my room, i promise i'm not trying to disturb your special evening!"

"don't worry evi, it's not just us anymore" vision said

"oh no, what are you talking about?"

"yeah, what are you talking about?" wanda repeated "who are those people?"

"what are you wearing?" vision asked hinting at the more than not child friendly dress wanda was wearing

"why are they here?"

"what are you wearing?"

"it's our anniversary!" wanda explained like it was obvious

"it might not be" evi added while she watched the strangers through the kitchen room divider

"anniversary of what?" vision asked

wanda crossed her arms, growing angry at her husband "well, if you don't know, i'm not going to tell you"

"that man out there is my employer, mr hart and his wife, mrs hart" vision assisted "the heart on the calendar—it was an abbreviation"

"you move at the speed of sound and i can make a pen float through the air—who needs to abbreviate?!"

"well it does lead to funny situations" evi laughed

vision reached for wanda. "darling this big romantic todo — the candles, the music, that stunning outfit — please don't think i am unappreciative. but right now—"

wanda smiled at vision "—your boss and his wife are expecting a home cooked meal"

vision nodded concerned

"any chance they'd settle for a single chocolate—covered strawberry split three ways?"

"eww" evi muttered to herself and vision shook his head regretfully

"i might have another idea" wanda snapped and was suddenly dressed in a formal outfit, the perfect cocktail dress, she snapped again and evi was suddenly wearing something similar. "but i need your help"

"of course" evi smiled, stepping next to her sister "don't worry, vis. to your luck you have to magical girls in the family, there will be a meal ready in no time"

"thank you" vision smiled at his family before he walked through the door, sending them a last reassuring look before he returned to the guests in the living room.

"do you have a plan?" evi asked while wanda seemed deep in thought

"i might have" she said thinking "i think i know the perfect housewife who might be exactly prepared for a situation like this"

"agnes?" evi laughed

"agnes" wanda nodded

———

"agnes, you're a life saver!" wanda exclaimed a few minutes later, after she had called agnes.

"what kind of housewife would i be if i didn't have a gourmet meal for four just lying about the place? not that ralph ever wants to eat anything other than baked beans. that explains a lot about his personal appeal, mind you" agnes dropped a tray and a loud bang sounded throughout the house

"oh my!"

"thank you agnes!" wanda said "i think i've got it covered from here—"

"—are you sure, dear?" agnes asked worryingly "many hands make light work. and many mouths make good gossip!"

"oh, you're naughty!"

"shall i just pre—heat the oven?"

"that won't be necessary, evi can do that" wanda began directing agnes into the direction of the door. evi just stood around the kitchen, confused what she should do now.

"alright, we'll. i know you're in a pinch, so this menu can be done in a snap: lobster thermidor and mini—mincemeat turnovers to start, chicken a la king with twice—cooked new potatoes for you second course, and steak diane with mint jelly as your main. do you set your own jellies, dear?"

"...yes?" wanda answered, not quite sure herself

"good girl, recipe cards are on the counter there! bon appetit!" agnes left through the kitchen door, while wanda and evi looked at the food in question. finally, wanda raises her hands and set everything into motion.

suddenly the pass—through window opened and evi could see the elderly woman, mrs hart, who was about to look into the kitchen where wanda is still standing, recipe cards in the air. in the last second vision is able to distract the woman.

"take out the papers and the trash!" he began to sing, evi's eyes growing wide "or you don't get no spending cash!"
visions eyes found evi's and wanda's, who looked like a deer caught in headlight.

"if you don't scrub that kitchen floor, you ain't gonna rock n roll no more" he continued while evi reached for the blinds and closed them slowly, still irritated by visions singing which finally comes to an end: "yakety yak!.. don't talk back!"

A/N

it gets sadder with every chapter for me. i don't know what i'm gonna do without evi :(((

but as i said before, i promise that she's gotta get her happy ending. i couldn't live with myself if she didn't. it feels weird since she's just made up, but i put a lot of my hope and own grief into evi and i think that's part of what makes her seem real?? and also that's what makes her so important for me too

as an author you always project yourself onto your characters, willingly or not and i feel like once i've finished this series, a little part of me will be gone, because that part lived through evi and expressed everything i couldn't really do in my own life.

ok i'm sorry enough deep—talk; for all my and peter parker lovers i've got something planned. a new book which will be published on february tenth :)

it's gonna be very rom—com styled but i'm really hyped (it's gonna be an avengers au and fun fact: pietro and wanda will be alive and their family structure will change by 180 degrees :) )
