In the far depths of the underworld, the foul mouthed and insane being known as Beetlejuice was sitting in a red chair looking sad. As Beetlejuice looked before him, he said, "Lydia... I know this is hard to say... but after all these years we've been together... I think it's time we call it quits. We had some good times... but I'm starting to realize... the magic between us isn't what it used to be... and also... your daughter is way more hot than you, so I'm gonna go try to marry her now!" Beetlejuice then sat up and looked at the chair before him, which had a voodoo doll that looked like Lydia Deetz. Beetlejuice then picked up the doll as he said, "But don't worry Lydia. You'll still be special to me. Also, I'm sure you're gonna love it when Beetlejuice Junior shoots out of your daughter's vagina and starts biting the kneecaps off her favorite grandma. So... goodbye Lydia. Hmm... Okay. One more blowjob for old time's sake." Then Beetlejuice stuck the Lydia doll into his pants for a moment as he gleefully said, "Oh yeah. That's good. That's so good!"
In an office room within the underworld, a woman with nearly half her head missing was organizing some files. Beetlejuice then rushed into the room and said, "Darla, I need your help. I need a new place to haunt." The deformed woman: Darla sighed, and then said, "Beetlejuice, your spirit just can't be re-assigned to haunt a new home at will." Beetlejuice then looked very upset as he said, "But Darla, you just gotta give me a new place to haunt! The house with that spiffy model I was haunting for years burned down the other week in a fire. So now I've got no place to haunt!" Darla looked confused as she said, "What caused the fire?" Beetlejuice then casually smirked as he said, "A little gasoline prank caused by yours truly. By golly, you should've seen the flames and heard the screams! But the point is... I got no place to haunt anymore! Please Darla, you just gotta help me! You just gotta!" Darla sighed, and then said, "Okay. According to underworld bylaw chapter 3, section 2 - if the location of your haunting is completely destroyed, you may follow a member of the family that used to reside in your haunted dwelling. So who would you like to haunt?"
Beetlejuice looked very excited as he said, "Well... I'd like to haunt... the hot sexy girl!" Darla looked confused as he said, "Who?" Beetlejuice looked a bit confused as he said, "Darn it. I forgot her name. It was Lydia's daughter. Her name was... something that sounded so erotic." Darla sighed, and then said, "Do you have a picture of her? We did finally get image search technology down here." Beetlejuice quickly dug into his pockets, and then took out a photograph he had of Lydia and her daughter. Beetlejuice then ripped the picture in half, and threw away the half that had Lydia. Beetlejuice then pointed to Lydia's daughter as he said, "That's the one. That's the hot sexy girl. Find her for me." Darla took the picture from Beetlejuice, and put it under a nearby scanner. After a moment, Darla then said, "Okay. Looks like the scanner found the girl and where she's located. Apparently she's at some school named... Nevermore Academy..."
Wednesday Addams sat in her dimly lit dorm room, her eyes glued to the pages of a book titled: The Art of Being Alone. She had recently started her second semester at Nevermore Academy. One side of her dorm room was adorned with the macabre – skulls, taxidermy animals, and a map of ancient cemeteries... while the other side of her dorm room was filled with stuffed animals and bright posters put up by her room mate. However Wednesday always faced away from that side of the room as she did her daily typing. Outside, the rain pattered rhythmically against the windowpanes, adding to the solemn atmosphere she cherished.
Suddenly Wednesday's roommate Enid Sinclair barged in; her bright hair and bright clothes in stark contrast to Wednesday's completely black attire. Enid held a meticulously crafted model of the school in her hands, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Wednesday, you've gotta see what I made at the art club!" Enid's voice was a blend of enthusiasm and hope that Wednesday would actually be interested in what she made. Wednesday glanced up, raising an eyebrow. "Ah, so you're promoting the art club now in an attempt to get me to join?"
Enid's smile wavered slightly. "No, I just wanted to show you something cool I made." She placed the miniature school on the desk between them. "It's a model of Nevermore. I painted it to look like it does at midnight; your favorite time of the day." Wednesday studied the model, her curiosity piqued despite herself. "It's... quite accurate," she conceded, noticing the tiny details that mirrored the gothic architecture of their school. "Thanks!" Enid said, her spirits lifting. "I thought you'd appreciate it. Speaking of which, I have another idea for us to do something together." Wednesday realized she was not going to get anymore typing down, so she looked at her roommate, a hint of skepticism in her eyes. "And what would that be?"
"How about we go nature hiking this weekend?" Enid suggested, trying to sound casual. "It'll be fun! We can hike up the nearby mountain and see the whole town from the top." Wednesday's expression remained unchanged as she said, "Nature hiking? You mean like with the school nature club?" Enid's heart sank a little as she realized Wednesday didn't understand what she was suggesting. "No, not exactly. Just us. You know, like hanging out... alone." She paused, trying to gauge Wednesday's reaction. "What do you say?"
Wednesday leaned back in her chair, considering the proposal. The rain outside seemed to echo her mood as she said, "I'm not much for... fraternizing Enid. I prefer my solitude." Enid however didn't give up as she said, "But it'll be an adventure! Also, we can talk about whatever you want while alone. No one else will hear us. That way... if you... or maybe me... wanna confess something... it'll be just between us." Wednesday's gaze remained steady on her. "Enid, I'm not one for idle chit chat over a long period of time. While our brief moments of small talk have proven to be somewhat... moderately fascinating... talking for a long period of time out in nature doesn't hold much appeal for me."
Feeling the sting of rejection, Enid took a deep breath and tried to hide her disappointment. "Okay, I get it. Maybe some other time." She picked up her model and turned to leave, her shoulders slightly slumped. Wednesday watched Enid leave, a flicker of something unreadable crossing her face. As the door clicked shut, she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. She knew Enid was trying to connect with her, but letting people get close to her was not something she was ready to do right now with anyone.
Suddenly Wednesday's thoughts were interrupted when she heard a raspy male voice say, "Wow girl. You let her down hard. But I like that in my women. Tough and direct." Wednesday looked confused as she tried to figure out where that strange voice was coming from. Eventually Wednesday noticed a very small Beetlejuice standing in the small model of Nevermore Academy. As Wednesday approached Enid's art project, she said, "What are you supposed to be? A shrunken spy sent by my father to check up on me?" The small Beetlejuice then waved his right hand as he said, "Not at all. It's me. The ghost with the most! Come on sexy thing. Don't you recognize me? I helped your mother save you from the underworld, remember?" Wednesday crossed her arms as she said, "If you're an extended member of my family, you should know that I typically prefer to hide in one of the coffins at every annual Addams Family reunion."
Beetlejuice now looked very confused as he said, "Addams Family? Hold on. Your mom isn't Lydia Deetz?" Wednesday glared at Beetlejuice as she said, "Unfortunately, I am not. Although I do appreciate her program: Ghost House. It's the only quality show left on television." Beetlejuice looked straight at Wednesday with a smile as he said, "Well... I was trying to find Lydia Deetz's daughter. She actually looks just like you... but you're way more feisty and fierce than she is. So I'm glad I ended up here instead. You look like the kind of girl that has a lot of enemies she wishes she could eliminate as quick as possible, am I right?" Wednesday sighed as she reluctantly said, "I have... annoyances I wish I could sweep away." Then Beetlejuice jumped on top of the model of Nevermore Academy as he said, "Well today's your lucky day sweet thang! I'm a demon from hell, and if you set me free: I'll help you make all your delicious dark dreams come true. Just say my name three times and..."
BAM! Suddenly the small figure of Beetlejuice was squashed by a living severed hand. Wednesday immediately crossed her arms, raised one eyebrow, and simply said, "Thank you Thing. The voice of that annoying little man was becoming too painful to hear." Wednesday's faithful handy companion: Thing quickly gave Wednesday a thumb's up. Thing then climbed up Wednesday's body and sat on her shoulder. Wednesday then prepared to leave the room as she said, "Now, as promised for obeying my every command for the past six months, I'll take you out now to buy that nail buffer set I know you'd been dying to have." Thing's fingers jumped in eager anticipation as Wednesday carried him outside of the dorm room.
An hour later, Enid returned to the dorm room. Immediately, she noticed a small portion of her model of Nevermore Academy had been broken. Not knowing how, Enid immediately jumped to an incorrect conclusion as she said, "God Wednesday, if you don't like my work; just tell me." Enid then sat down and looked sad as she said, "God, I wish there was someone out there who could find a way to bring me and Wednesday closer together." Then Enid suddenly noticed a small paper on the ground near her feet. It looked like an old style advertisement. Enid looked at the advertisement puzzled, as she read the words on the paper before her out loud: "If you got a dark spirit in your life you need help with controlling, call the demon love doctor. Just call me three times to get your dreams to come true! Call Doctor Beetlejuice." Enid had a strange look on her face as she wondered how the name on this advertisement could be real. "Beetlejuice?" she said in disbelief. Again Enid couldn't believe this was a real name. So in disbelief once more, she said, "Beetlejuice?" Then suddenly Enid heard a scary laugh begin to envelop the room...
Some time later, Wednesday entered her dorm room. Expecting Enid to be home by now, she decided to expedite the beginning of a much needed conversation with her room mate as she said, "Enid, I wish to better explain what I was attempting to communicate earlier with you." However... Enid was nowhere to be seen in the room. This confused Wednesday though as Enid's phone was in it's typical charging spot, and Enid was not one to travel anywhere without her phone. But then... something caught Wednesday's eye. It was the advertisement that Enid had picked up earlier. Wednesday's eyes widened as she saw Beetlejuice's name on the paper. Wednesday quickly ripped up the paper as anger filled her eyes. Wednesday then glared at the model set of Nevermore nearby. Despite not seeing Beetlejuice there, anger filled Wednesday voice as she said, "Okay little demon man. At first, you were just a nuisance. But now... you have just declared war on the Wednesday Addams!"
