Morning came too soon for both of them. They got out of bed and went to take a quick shower. They did manage to shower together and make it very quick. Penelope changed into black skinny jeans, black shirt and her favorite Nike shoes. Her hair was in a messy bun and she felt that this casual look really worked for her today. On the other hand, Josie was in black skirt, black shirt with lacy collar. He hair was in pigtails and she had some makeup. When she got out of the closet, Penelope checked her out and teased her.
''Looking hot Wednesday Addams.''
''Shut up!''
She put on Penelope's flat boots and she was ready to go. Penelope got up from the bed and came to her. She put her arms around her and Josie leaned into her.
''I love you…''
''I love you too P…''
''No matter what, I am in your corner… Never doubt that.''
''Thank you… I know you are there for me.''
''And I will always be…''
''I am scared.''
''I know… You have every right to be.''
''I don't know what I would do or say to my mom and Lizzie…and even dad.''
''He doesn't know what happened.''
''But he knew about the merge.''
''I guess he was trying to figure out how to help. He didn't want to alarm you before he knew if he could help. I sort of get him, but also not so much…''
''I have mixed feelings too about him… But mom and Lizzie.''
''Jojo… You will know everything when you see them.''
''I don't want to see them.''
''I guess that's ok too.''
Penelope's parents took them to the airport and wished them safe trip. Penelope's mom reminded them that they could call her any time night or day if something is fishy at school. Josie was grateful for the support, but she wished they didn't have to call or address the matter with anyone. She wished peace at school.
Their flight was too short. Penelope needed few more hours to pull herself together and be there for Josie. She knew her girlfriends head was all over the place and that's why she needed to be focused and ok. Josie was looking through the window avoiding to look at Penelope. She couldn't worry the other girl with how scared and confused she was. But she knew that Penelope knew everything… She just squeezed Josie's hand and whispered.
''I love you Jojo… You have me…''
She turned to Penelope and leaned into her.
''I need you to tell me that it will be ok.''
Penelope used all her strength to look convincing. She took Josie's hand and put their clasped hands into her lap.
''Jojo, it will be more than ok. You have me, you have Hope and no one will dare to touch you.''
''Thank you…''
''Ok, that's a lie.''
Now Josie felt scared.
''I have every intention of touching you…''
She had to laugh to that. Give it to Penelope to put sexual innuendoes everywhere.
''You ass…''
''I love you too Jojo…''
Jason was in Penelope's car waiting for them to arrive. As soon as they entered the car, anxiety was back. They had about thirty minutes to school and Penelope was as nervous as Josie was. Car stopped in front of the school and two of them got out. Jason went to park them and two of them stood in front of the door.
''It's time babe.''
''I know…''
They got into the school and all of the sudden all eyes were on them. Rick showed up with Emma and Dorian and Lizzie and Caroline stood at the top of the staircase. Penelope felt Josie was getting nervous. She took her hand and something changed on Josie's face. Fear left and there was just a very cold face and eyes looking at everyone…like she was checking out where possible treat was coming from. Hope was happy to see them. She smiled from the corner and went to say hi.
''Look who is back? Wicked witch of the east and her sidekick…''
She hugged Penelope and held her tight.
''I've got you…''
Penelope gave her a smile and Hope smiled back. She then looked at Josie and her ice cold face looking at her mother and sister.
''What's with the Wednesday Adams over there?''
'"She is processing her mother and sister trying to kill her… And don't call her Wednesday Adams. She didn't like it this morning when I said it.''
''I simply have to… It's a given.''
''Hope…''
''Fiiineeee…''
''Thank you.''
Rick was first one to come to Josie. He was very careful and he had no idea how to greet her.
''Is it ok if I hug you?''
She looked at Penelope and when she saw her smile she went and hugged her dad.
''I am so sorry… I had no idea what happened.''
''I know dad… I was there… But the other thing…I am still very angry.''
''I am sorry honey…''
Josie broke their hug and turned to Hope. She hugged her tight .
''It's nice to have you back. I can't say I am happy that two of you would be sleeping in a room next to me. I have wolf hearing… So, I will know too much…''
She moved away from Hope and then smacked her on the hand.
''I missed you jerk…''
''Missed you too Josie…''
She saw the necklace around her neck and touched the moon. She was sure now that she joined Penelope's coven. She was a bit divided about that. She knew who they were and what was expected from her. She was not happy that Josie killed someone. She just looked at her for a moment and smiled.
''Let's get you settled… Jason and I put all your boxes and things in the room. We have a lot of work, so no slacking… MG will help too after the practice. So, let's get started.''
She took their hands and led them upstairs. They got to the top of the stairs where Lizzie and Caroline stood. Josie just looked at them and passed them. They got into the room and Penelope was desperate. There was million boxes to unpack.
''I don't think we have enough time to finish this today.''
Josie looked around and red what was written on the boxes.
''We can sort out what is priority for today.''
They started opening boxes with their clothes and shoes. Penelope's mom got them a nice big closet each and they put their things in them. They decided to put uniforms, shirts and things for the day at school in one and their other clothes in the other. She also got them nice comfy bed and Josie couldn't wait to test it. Penelope was putting away empty boxes and Josie was opening new ones with Hope. MG came with few vamp friends and they helped a lot. They placed books on the shelves, they got the boxes out to the recycling and they helped make the bed. In less than six hours, room was almost done. There were few boxes Penelope and Josie picked to open alone. It was their underwear and some other personal things so they waited for the rest to leave for those boxes to be opened. Hope was hungry and that made her grumpy.
''We could eat… It's time for diner.''
''Sure… Give us few minutes.''
''But the line would be too long.''
''Hope, let's finish this and we will eat later.''
Hope turned to Penelope.
''When did Wednesday Adams become so bossy?''
''Don't you dare call me Wednesday Adams ,Michaelson.''
''But you look like her.''
''I hate you…''
''Owwww…. Now I feel special…''
''Why?''
''Those words are exclusively reserved for yours truly...''
Penelope had to laugh at that.
''I missed this… These banters and all the cute insults… Awwww….''
Josie gave her a look.
''Oooo…Someone will be cut off…''
Penelope had to laugh even harder now… That was something that Hope would say. It's all about teasing and making Josie blush.
''No eating for any of you!''
That made two other girls burst with laughter.
''I have no problem with your restrictions… On the other hand.. Park might protest it.''
''Get out of the room and let's get down…''
Penelope was now on the floor and crying from laughter.
''I will end you Park…''
''Oh, Jojo…''
She put her arms around Josie and kissed her shoulder and neck.
''I love you to baby…''
''I don't…''
''Yes, you do…''
She just took a breath and looked at Penelope…
''You are lucky you are so cute and I have some feelings about you…''
''I am lucky… I am very lucky to have you baby…''
They kissed and Hope made faces behind them.
''I am going to be sick…''
Penelope winked at her and blew her a kiss.
''That is wrong on so many levels Park.''
''But you love it Michaelson.''
'' Just a lil bit.''
''Wow! Little bit of 50 cent… I love it.''
''I didn't…''
But there was no way against Penelope and her logic. Hope had to give up.
