A fanfic for 'Edward Scissorhands'
By XkidPythona
Preface: It's been fifty years since Edward came down into Suburbia.Everybody who remembers the incident has either passed away or moved. Despite all the rumors about the so called ' Haunted House' , a real estate agency has managed to sell the old mansion to a family originally from New York City.Edward is unaware of these odd guests and in turn scare each other.
The sound of car engines filled the early morning as Edward woke. He slowly got up from his ratty matress and walked over to the hole in the roof. His eyes widened as he stares at the soft and perfect virgin snow was ruined by the tracks of vehicle tires.In front of the gates sat a car and a very large truck.Edward blinked slowly as he watched some figures get out of the car, none of whom he recognized.A tall man with raven hair like his own, yet this man's skin was a shade of brown. A pale woman wearing a pink dress, her brown curly hair flowing down onto her shoulders.Edward paid little attention to them. His focus went to the back of the car, a young girl with long red hair wearing a dark blue short dress.She reminded him an awful lot of Kim, but she was different,she seemed, unhappy.
"Well? what do you think?Isn't it great?"
"Who used to live here?The Addams Family?"
The brown haired woman's eyes narrow." Lydia, I know this is different then New York, but I got it really cheap and besides, that whole in the roof can be turned into a skylight, won't that be great?"
"I guess.."The red haired girl mutters softly.
"The best part is, there's an attic! You can have your room up there like you've always wanted, won't that be amazing?"
"yeah.. sure.." She sighes and slowly walks through the open gates making her way through the front yard. Her eyes widening at the unique hedges.
"Wow, they most have hired some amazing gardeners to make these hedges."She slowly looks up at the house." Huh? what's that?"
"What is what Lydia?" The heavy Brazilian accent filled voice asked.
"I thought I saw something in the attic."
"Maybe it was a ghost." He laughes.
"yeah.. maybe.. it was Bill, but that means you're the one who's going to have to take care of it."
He raises an eyebrow."Nice try Lydia, my job specifications ddn't say nothing about ghost busting, you're on your own."
