2.11 | Hurricane Debbie

Back at the camp, Wednesday and Lillith hopped over the perimeter fence and faced Joel who stood on the other side, the camp burning in the background. "Come on, let's go!" Lillith encouraged the boy. "No, I have to go back. For the others," Joel insisted. "You're very brave," Lillith complimented making the boy smile. "And to watch the place burn," Joel added with a smirk, "You two go. Go save your uncle." Lillith smiled before she waved her hand, a small pin formed in Joel's palm, it was the shape of a small serpent. "Goodbye Joel, don't forget us," Lillith told the boy. "I'll never forget you guys, you're too weird," Joel assured them.

"Well, even though we might never see you again, we'll always have Chippewa," Wednesday told him, the two had already resolved their troubles prior to the play. "And this," Joel said as he held something up in front of his face. "What is it?" Wednesday asked him. "Amanda's retainer," Joel answered with a smirk. Pugsley drove up behind them in the Camp Chippewa van, honking the horn to gain their attention. "Come on!" Pugsley shouted. Wednesday nodded to Joel before grabbing Lillith's hand, the two rushed up to the van. Wednesday sat in the passenger seat with Lillith on his lap, they drove off waving to Joel who pinned the new pin onto his jacket.

Morticia sat on a rocking chair reading The Cat in the Hat to Pubert who sat on her lap. "'We looked, then we saw him step on the mat. We looked, and we saw him, The Cat in the Hat'," Morticia read before looking at Pubert, "Are you enjoying this? To think... a child of mine..." Morticia lowered her eyes solemnly before she continued reading, "'I know it is wet, and the sun is not sunny. But we can have lots of good fun, that is funny.'." Morticia flipped to the end of the book and a look of disappointment crossed her face, "Oh no... he lives." Suddenly, Grandmama Frump burst into the room looking frantic, "Come on! It's Gomez!" The two women rushed out quickly to Gomez.

Gomez was laying in bed staring blankly at the ceiling with a crazy look on his face as he began singing, "Swing low, sweet chariot, coming forth to carry me home..." Morticia sat by his side looking upset, "My baby is ill, and my husband is dying. Oh, mama, what should I do?" Grandmama looked to her daughter before stating, "Well, you have a black dress." Gomez suddenly started sobbing and Morticia grasped his hand when Fester burst through the doors, he was now looking frantic as he exclaimed, "Gomez!" Gomez gasped, "Fester! Fester, where is Fester?" Morticia gestured to her brother-in-law who was on his knees opposite her, "He's right there, Mon cher."

"It's me, Gomez. I've tried to be someone I'm not. I lived in shame... and the suburbs!" Fester exclaimed. "But you belong to Debbie! You're Debbie's love toy! You are... Mr Debbie!" Gomez cried out. "I am an Addams!" Fester proclaimed and Gomez sat up with a smile, "Fester!" Gomez opened his arms and the two brothers embraced. "Uncle Fester!" Pugsley and Wednesday shouted as they stood in the doorway, Lillith smiling fondly at the family. "Children!" Fester exclaimed before Pugsley rushed forward and embraced his uncle. "You sent us to camp. They made us sing," Wednesday stated bitterly towards his parents as he and Lillith stood to the side with their hands interlaced.

Fester opened his arms and Lillith nudged her love, the boy gave in and the two embraced Fester. "My own dear family. Together at last. Three generations. Above ground!" Morticia said with a smile. "In-laws!" A voice shouted, they all turned to see Debbie standing in the doorway holding a shotgun. Debbie's eyes were crazed and her usually styled hair was a mess, her clothing dirtied and her sneering gaze on the family as she cocked the shotgun threateningly. Wednesday pulled Lillith closer to him, she rested both of her hands on his arm watching with uncertainty; she was glad that Morticia had put Pubert in his cradle.

The Addams Family and Lillith were now all in the attic strapped down to electric chairs while Debbie stood in front of them holding a remote; she had threatened to shoot Lillith if they didn't listen to her orders and the family had been quick to follow Debbie's demands to protect the young woman. "I don't want to hurt anybody. I don't enjoy hurting anybody," She told them, "I don't like guns or bombs or electric chairs. But sometimes people just won't listen! So I have to use persuasion. And slides." Debbie pressed a button on the remote and a slideshow appeared on a screen of a lovely couple standing in the yard of their home.

"My parents, Sharon and Dave. Generous, doting... or were they? All I ever wanted was a Ballerina Barbie, in her pretty pink tutu. My birthday!" Debbie pressed the button and the slide changed to show young Debbie opening her presents, "I was ten. And do you know what they got me? Malibu Barbie!" Morticia gasped, "Malibu Barbie..." Gomez shook his head, "The nightmare." Grandmama added, "The nerve!" The next slide appeared and it showed Debbie surrounded by shredded wrapping paper with an enraged look on her face. "That's not what I wanted! That's not who I was! I was a ballerina! Graceful! Delicate! They had to go," Debbie explained to them, the next slide showed her house engulfed in flames.

Downstairs in Pubert's room, the baby grabbed a knife from his baby mobile and started cutting through his crib.

"My first husband..." Debbie spoke as a picture of a doctor appeared on screen, "The heart surgeon. All day long, coronaries, transplants!" Grandmama frowned in sympathy, "What about your needs?" Debbie looked at her, "Sorry about dinner, Deb. The pope has a cold!" The next slide showed the doctor cowering in fear with the shadow of an axe appearing in the corner. "An axe! That takes me back," Grandmama sighed happily. Lillith turned her eyes to Wednesday, the boy already watching her but he shook his head knowing she wanted to use her magic to save them but he had no idea what Debbie was truly capable of and he wouldn't lose his love ─ he couldn't.

Meanwhile, Pubert had managed to cut through his crib and was now crawling on the floor. As he crawled out of the room, he nudged the dresser causing a cannonball to fall behind him. It rolled out of the room and down the hall.

"Husband number two. The Senator," A picture of a smiling man sitting behind a desk appeared on the screen, "He loved his state, he loved his country." Grandmama hummed before she asked, "What about Debbie?" Debbie scoffed, "Sorry Debbie, no Mercedes this year! We have to set an example! Oh, yeah? Set this!" The next picture showed the Senator cowering in fear in front of the garage as Debbie was about to run him down. Lillith, Morticia and Grandmama shared impressed looks with the woman's decisions. Lillith couldn't help but huffed quietly, she had been right by her words that Debbie fit the family perfectly if she had actually given them a proper chance.

Pubert crawled along the floor towards the stairs. He came up to the banister and grabbed one of the poles.

"My latest husband," Debbie spoke as the screen showed a picture of Fester on a lawnmower, "My late husband, Fester." Fester lowered his gaze whispering, "The fool." Debbie glared, "The corpse." She turned the slideshow off, "And his adorable family. You took me in, you accepted me. But did any of you love me? Really love me?" Gomez thought before speaking, "Hands?" They all looked around but no one raised their hands purely due to the fact that Debbie had separated them from Fester, if she hadn't of done that very action, they would have truly possibly loved her as a member of their unique family.

Pubert manages to get on top of the stair railing and slide down it. Meanwhile, the cannonball Pubert knocked over rolled towards the railing and bumped into it sending Pubert flying off and onto a roller skate, rolling along the ground.

"So, I-I killed. So, I maimed. So, I destroyed one innocent life after another. Aren't I a human being? Don't I yearn and ache and... shop? Don't I deserve love? And Jewellery?" Debbie stated questionly. Morticia nodded at her understandingly while Lillith furrowed her brows. "Didn't you do it all for money, Black Widow?" Lillith asked the woman who turned to her. "I deserve it!" Debbie snapped at Lillith. "Fester doesn't have money," Pugsley commented with a smirk making Debbie turn to him in confusion. "What?!" Debbie snapped at him. "Oh yes, I gave my riches to Wednesday once he turned eighteen," Fester told Debbie whose eye was twitching, she turned to the switch for the electric chairs and placed her hand on it.

The cannonball started rolling down the stairs as Pubert was still riding the roller skate. The cannonball landed on the floor and crashed through it. The broken boards created a ramp and the cannonball landed inside a boiling pot.

"Adieu, mon Cher," Morticia said to her husband. "Adios, Cara Mia," Gomez replied as they barely managed to grasp each other's hands. "I love you, Wednesday," Lillith whispered, tears brimming her eyes as she watched him. "Marry me, ma précieuse," Wednesday replied making Lillith's eyes widened, his eyes completely serious as the others except Debbie turned to the two of them. "Oh my," Morticia gasped with a smile. "Yes, Wednesday," Lillith replied with a teary smile, Wednesday smiled back at her as his heart felt completely full. "Debbie, let them go! Take me! For what I've done, I deserve to die!" Fester pleaded. "Sorry," Debbie shrugged.

The heat of the pot that the cannonball was in was rising and it eventually shot up into the air. Pubert rolled back in front of the staircase and landed on the lower end of the ramp. The cannoball fell from the sky and landed on the opposite end launching Pubert into the sky.

He went through the glass skylight all the way up to where a plane was. Amanda, Shane and their parents were sitting in their row bruised and solemn when they saw Pubert's face appear in the window for a second before he dropped back down. They didn't say anything but Amanda's mother closed the window.

"Goodbye everybody! Wish me luck!" Debbie announced. "Good luck!" They all called back to her. Debbie pulled the lever just as Pubert landed in the room with them. The electric current from the switch travelled along the wires on the floor. Pubert giggled and Debbie looked at him confused. Pubert held up two wires and connected them which sent the electrical current back over to the handle that Debbie was still holding. Debbie lifted into the air as sparks flew all around her. Her hair stuck out at all angles and she started to turn into a pile of ash as the family watched with smiles. Once the electricity stopped, all that was left of Debbie was a pile of ashes, two shoes and a couple of credit cards.

Sometime had passed since the death of Debbie Addams and it was now Pubert Addams' first official birthday. Fester walked down the hall carrying a bunch of presents, "A birthday party! What a treat! And to think I might have missed all this. What was I thinking?" Wednesday looked at him from the stairs, "Physical pleasure." Lillith laughed at that, leaning into Wednesday's side making him smirk and wrap his arm around her. Pugsley stood with the couple as he looked at Fester, "Uncle Fester, do you miss Debbie?" Fester sighed, "Sometimes. Late at night. I remember how she used to turn to me and say 'Jesus Fester! Go back to your room!'." Fester then let out a wheezy laugh.

"Yoo-hoo!" Margaret called as she, Cousin It and What entered the house, "Are we late?" Fester shook his head at them, "Not at all! We're just getting started!" Margaret smiled kindly at his reassurance. "I hope no one minds, we brought along a guest. This is our new Nanny..." Margaret told them as a tall woman with dark circles around her eyes and a creepy outfit with a hat entered in behind them. "Dementia," She greeted, removing her hat to reveal her lack of hair causing Fester to stare at her in awe. "Dementia. What a beautiful name," Fester purred. "It means insanity," Dementia told him. "My name's Fester. It means 'to rot'," Fester replied to her. "Met his match," Lillith whispered to Wednesday, the two smiled.

Gomez and Morticia clinked their glasses together, "A toast! To the glorious mysteries of life. To all that binds a family as one. To mirth, to merriment. To manslaughter!" Everyone raised their glasses to that. "To dear friends," Gomez gestured to Cousin It and Margaret. "To new friends!" Gomez gestured to Fester and Dementia who stood close to each other. "To youth!" Gomez gestured to Wednesday and Lillith. "To passion!" Gomez turned to Morticia. "To paradise!" Morticia replied. "To pain," Gomez added. "Tonight!" Morticia promised, the two leaned in to kiss but Grandmama walked in carrying Pubert interrupting them. "Make way for the birthday boy!" Grandmama announced to everyone.

Pugsley then entered behind her pushing a large cake that had a guillotine on it. "Thing, will you do the honours?" Gomez asked the appendage. Thing grabbed a match and lit it, then he jumped up and lit the candle on the cake as Lurch played the organ wearing a party hat. The family celebrated and danced the night away however, just after midnight, Wednesday had grabbed Lillith's hand and lead out through the graveyard and towards the Willow tree they had claimed as their own. Lillith closed her eyes as she let the full moon shine down on her, Wednesday took a moment to admire her before he stepped up behind her. "Lillith Persphone Whitley," Wednesday spoke causing the woman to turn around shocked by the use of her full name only to gasp.

Wednesday was on one knee, a red velvet box in his hand as he smiled up at her. "I know I asked you when we were in those chairs but I knew you deserve more than that," Wednesday expressed, he waved Lillith off when she went to deny it so she simply let him do as he wished. "Before I had met you, Lillith. I did not believe that love was for me but then you appeared in my life, swept in by a stormy night with a smile that completely entranced me," Wednesday spoke, "And I knew in that very moment that you were the one for me. I will spend eternity worshipping you, giving you all my heart and showing you nothing but love and adoration." Lillith sniffled as Wednesday asked, "So, Lillith Whitley, will you marry me?" And he revealed the ring.
