The Addams Family: What Really Happened
This took me several weeks of watching and memorizing EVERY line of the Addams Family Movie from 1991. I'm gonna tell you all about the scheme and what really happened in the story (I did add a character. She's not really in the movie.) But I OWN NOTHING of the Addams Family (I wish I did. I'd be a descent of the genius himself, Charles Addams.) Anyway, Read, Favorite, and REVIEW!
CH1: The Scam's Plot
Tully Alford had been the Addams family lawyer for years. He was always short on money, even though he was given monthly expenses from Gomez's vault. Tully had never been inside the vault. What was in that vault? Doubloons. Thousands of them. How Tully wished he could get his hands on them, so his wife, Margaret could be happy with him.
After losing a sword fight with Gomez, and getting his payment, Tully went back to his office to find Abigail Craven, his loan shark, and her two children, Gordon and Caitlynne. Tully didn't see Gordon because he was hiding behind the door. Abigail was a frail woman who appeared to be in her late 50's or early 60's. Caitlynne, on the other hand was a hot, spunky, and upbeat 13-year-old. Tully called for his assistant, but she had left hours ago.
"She went home a few hours ago, Tully," Caitlynne said with a ready-to-kill expression on her face. Abigail was sitting on the couch in Tully's office. Caitlynne was laying her head on Abigail's legs trying to paint her nails blue.
"Tully, this is my 13-year-old daughter Caitlynne Abigail," Abigail said proudly, "I adopted her after my daughter and her husband died in a car crash nine years ago. My how the years have gone by."
"I can tell she's yours," Tully laughed, "She looks and sounds just like you, Mrs. Craven." Caitlynne and Abigail both looked at him with an I-will-smack-you-in-the-face-so-hard-you'll-be-knocked-out face.
"I don't believe you've met my son, Gordon, yet, have you," Abigail proudly said as a heavy-set man came out behind the door and grabbed Tully by the throat.
"Is this the deadbeat you mentioned, mother," Gordon asked with a raspy voice. He held Tully by his collar, now, and turned him upside-down, leaning against the wall. Caitlynne was watching the whole show and laughed. Gordon quickly held his grip back at Tully's neck, giving him barely enough room to breathe.
"Yes, Gordon, Caitlynne, and I enjoy a very special relationship," Abigail said, smiling, "Gordon, put him down."
"But-"
"Now, Gordon," Caitlynne fumed at her older brother, "Listen to mother." Gordon reluctantly obeyed his younger sister, because he knew what would happen if she got upset. Gordon let go of Tully's throat and fell to the ground.
"Keep in mind, Tully," Caitlynne suddenly reminded, "I'm gonna need my college tuition money back ASAP."
"Ah, yes the money," Abigail said, "Where the hell is it? I've loaned you thousands and thousands of dollars. Payment due."
"You'll get it. I don't have it right now," Tully lied.
"Gordon, you can do it now," Abigail said. Gordon cleared of the desk and threw Tully on it. A briefcase crashed onto the floor and opened at the impact. Hundreds of shiny gold doubloons spilled out of the briefcase.
"He lied to us mother," Gordon said. Caitlynne picked one up.
"No, you don't get it," Tully yelled, "Those are doubloons from my only paying clients, the Addams's." Tully looked at Gordon and remembered something he saw earlier that day.
"Fester," Tully murmured.
"Who's Fester," Gordon asked sounding very confused. Caitlynne knew what Tully was talking about.
"Fester Addams," she explained, "was the older brother of Gomez. They had some fight 25 years ago, and then Fester ran off. Old Gomez Addams has probably been welling up guilt ever since. I was in the same kindergarten class as Gomez's hideous son Pugsley, and he told us the story for show and tell once." Abigail had a look of confusion on her wrinkled face.
"What does that have to do with your brother, Caitlynne," Abigail asked.
"Since Tully thinks Gordon looks just like Fester," Caitlynne said as a devious little smile spread across her lips, "Then Gordon will become Fester. I have a plan."
As the Cravens and Tully were in a motel room, Caitlynne showed them pictures of Fester Addams during his childhood.
"Ew, this hideous thing and my little boy looking alike," Abigail said in disgust.
"It's not all too bad, mother," Caitlynne said, "Fester has to be at least ten times fatter than Gordon. And, yes, Gordon kind of does look like he's dead, but Fester looks like he died fifty million times."
"So what was your plan," Gordon asked Caitlynne.
"It's easy," Caitlynne explained, "We shave your head, dress you up, and boom. You've got Fester Addams."
"I think it'll work," Tully said.
"It had better, Tully, now get out," Abigail commanded. Tully left to go join the séance with Margaret that night at the Addams's estate.
"This is it, mother, we're free," Gordon said.
"I know, I know," Abigail said happily, "No more loan sharking to Tully, we can escape."
"It'll be grand," Caitlynne exclaimed, "We'd better get started if we're to get that money."
