Twenty two year old Morticia was now officially an Addams. She and Gomez had just spent their first night together as a couple. Morticia was the first to wake. Her eyes fluttered open, covered by black bedsheets, she awoke in Gomez's arms. She smiled and looked at the old clock hanging on the wall. 8:00 A.M. She turned over to her husband. "Gomez..." she whispered. He still didn't wake up. "Gomez, darling-" she paused. She then stroked his cheek with her long, red fingernails. "Mon cher..."

He woke right up. Imediately, he began to kiss her up the arm. "Cara mia..." They kissed until Thing came out of the box next to their bed. He was holding a black present box wrapped in black. Gomez put his head up. "Ah, yes. Thank you, Thing."

"Darling, what's that?" Morticia asked. Gomez took the box from Thing, they sat up and he handed it to her. "Oh, Gomez... you didn't have to get me anything." Morticia sighed.

"Cara, I wanted to." Gomez told her. "Are you going to open it?"

"Oh yes, of course, darling." Morticia smiled. She opened the box to reveal a necklace. It had a gold chain and a circular blood red diamond hanging from it. Gomez put the peice of jewlery on her. "Oh, bubulah, it's beautiful." Morticia nearly wept. "But how ever did you get it?" Gomez had only known her four days now. And they were both much too tied up with ending the arranged marraige of Gomez and her sister. So how could he have managed to go shopping?

"Tish, " Gomez took her hands. "My darling, from the moment I saw you I was intoxicated. And when I found out it was your sister I was engaged to... I was supposed to go shopping for a wedding ring. So when you were helping get ready, I went out and began looking for a ring. But then I saw that necklace and imagined how perfect it would look around your neck and I couldn't help myself. So when I got back, I hid out in the cave."

"Gomez... I don't know what to say. I'll wear it every day, I'll treasure it." She hugged him, her arms tight around his neck. His arms around her waist, they stayed like that.

It was 2:00 P.M. and breakfast was done. It looked a delicious meal. Fried newts eyes, a tiny bowl of sea slug and to Morticia's suprise, wine. "Gomez, it's so early." Gomez pulled her chair out for her and then sat down.

"A special occasion." Gomez replied. They began to eat, and Gomez looked at his beautiful wife. He couldn't believe it. Everything had worked out so perfectly. "Tish? May I ask you a question?" He asked her.

"Of course." Morticia cut a peice of her yak and took a bite.

Gomez took her hands -very seriously- for the second time today. Morticia didn't think she could take another suprise. "I noticed we forgot to do something before we got married."

"What could we have possibly forgotten?" Morticia asked.

"Tish, we never courted." Gomez sighed.

Morticia let the words sink in. "Gomez, I... I don't know what to say."

"Tish... how would you like to do that, hmm? We could. We could still live together but we could..." Gomez's voice trailed off.

"You want to... date?" Morticia was shocked. The idea was absurd.

"I do."

"Mon cher, I-" Morticia was cut off by a "Tish, that's French!" and Gomez kissing her up her arm.

"Think of it, Morticia." He said in between planting kisses up her arm. "We'd have wonderful stories to tell our children. And our children's children." He kissed her neck.

"And our children's children's children." She smiled. Gomez had done it. He had persuaded her to join him in this wild escapade. Morticia was angry with herself by this, but in the end it was she who held the power over him. She kissed him, right on the lips and when she did stop, she took a deep breath. "Alright."

"Wonderful!" Gomez jumped right up and looked at her affectionatley. "So, here's what I think we should do first. Now, I think we should play a little game."

"A game?" Morticia nearly laughed at his childlike excitement, one of the things she loved most about him.

"Now, we'll each walk around town. And we won't tell eachother where we're going. And we'll see if we end up meeting in the same place. To see how much we have in common." Gomez explained.

"Fine. When does this game start?" Morticia asked.

Gomez kissed her hand. "Right now."
