Inside of her dorm room, Wednesday was adding several electronic components to a large telescope that was pointed outside the nearest window. Enid suddenly walked into the dorm room looking at her phone as she said, "This is terrible Wednesday. Like, super terrible." Wednesday turned to look at Enid with slight concern as she said, "What is it?" Enid then said, "Well, you remember how I told you that you should post all your stories you write online? Well recently, people have been giving you negative reviews! This is devastating!" Wednesday then went back to look at her project, as she casually said, "Is that it?" Then an anxious and upset Enid said, "But aren't you furious Wednesday!? People are leaving comments saying that your work looks like it was written by a twelve year old, and that you need writing lessons. But Wednesday; you've already taken multiple writing courses, and spent a bunch of money taking a writing class taught by famous author Neil Gaiman! Plus, no one seemed to appreciate the fact that the first chapter of your most popular series used and played with many quotes by Edgar Allen Poe in the characters' dialogue, and that must have taken a lot of research! And then other people say your sex scenes you describe aren't realistic and original; when clearly they don't realize that everyone has sex a bit differently, and thus what realistic sex looks like differs from person to person. And also, you're writing an escapist fantasy story starring characters with fictional powers/abilities, so it isn't meant to be completely realistic to begin with! Plus, some of these haters love pointing out the very few spelling and grammar issues you make, without realizing how hard it is to release so much free content so quickly without an actual editor to look at your work before posting. Under those conditions: sometimes little mistakes in grammar and spellng are gonna happen! Uggh. Don't these haters bother you!?"
Then as Wednesday kept her eyes on her work, she plainly said, "No, they don't. Most of those rude commentators are anonymous individuals, whose comments I immediately delete; and the fact that they choose to be anonymous and not make their own accounts - shows that they have no work or status of their own they wish to share. And if they indeed have so much time to belittle my work, and choose not to focus on creating their own superior product, then I can only pity them. The fact is I only write for those that wish to be open to my form of imaginative story telling and societal commentary, and I do not feel hurt from being unable to connect with all masses. With that being said, my works collectively get thousands of new views per day from the various sites I post on, and the majority of my commentators speak only positive words. So no, my haters do not bother me." A surprised looking Enid then said, "Oh. Well... I guess you're more mature than me. I always feel hurt when people leave rude comments on my blog. There's this rude guy who used to go to school here that now lives in North Carolina, that keeps leaving hate comments on my blog every day, and... Wait a minute Wednesday. What kind of telescope are you building there?" Wednesday then stood up and said, "It's not a telescope anymore. I took the outer casing of one and converted it to a long range missile launcher." A surprised Enid then said, "A missile launcher? Well how long range is it?" Then Wednesday held up a remote, and said, "Long enough to reach a certain address in North Carolina." Then Wednesday pressed a button, causing a missile to fly out of her special device and it immediately soared through the sky. Enid looked suddenly very surprised and freaked out, while Wednesday then casually walked away as she said, "You will find that the ongoing rude comments left on your blog shall now cease from here on out. Now then, shall we head to our doctor's appointment? My ultrasound is scheduled for today." Enid still looked a bit freaked out as she said, "Um... yeah... sure."
Several hours later: Wednesday and Enid were sitting in a doctor's office together, as an amazed looking Enid held up a sonogram showing an image of two small lives, while she said, "Wow. I can't believe it. I mean I believed you when you said you had a vision of us having two kids, but... to see the sonogram of our two girls inside of you... this is just... wow. I can't believe it though. In just six months: we're going to be moms! Now, I know we agreed that we'll name one of our girls Harmony. But for the other girl, I was thinking something like... Carla." Then Wednesday in a straight forward tone said, "Or we could give her a name I've always been more partial to... Chaos." Then Enid looked a bit nervous for a brief moment as she said, "Or... maybe we just table that conversation for awhile. Besides, we've got a lot of other stuff about to happen to us. Tomorrow I turn eighteen years old, then in two days we graduate from Nevermore Academy, then in eight days you turn eighteen, and then after ten days of waiting... we finally get married! Oh my God Wednesday. It's finally happening. We just have to go through ten more special days of our lives, and then our wedding is going to finally happen! Can you hardly wait!?" Then Wednesday in a straight forward tone said, "Yes. It shall be... an interesting ten special days of anticipation."
Day 1:
Wednesday walked into a toy store, and approached an older woman working at a counter, and then immediately said to her, "Excuse me. It is my fiance's birthday today, and due to her insatiable desire for cute objects, I am attempting to buy your most adorable stuffed animal." The older woman smiled as she said, "Aww. Well aren't you a swell darling. All of our cute toys are to the left of the store in the first aisle. I couldn't tell you which toys are the cutest though. You'll just have to figure that out for yourself." Wednesday looked a bit troubled, but nodded in gratitude as she said, "Thank you." Wednesday then walked to the end of the store, and then entered an aisle filled with row upon row of bright colored stuffed animals. However, some of the stuffed animals were electronically operated, and could even move and talked on their own. Some of the bright stuffed animals even began to sing together as they sang, "La, la, la. Happiness and rainbows, and fluffy bunnies too! Everybody loves us and we love you! The world is so happy, and we are as happy as can be! Come now sing with us, 'cause we are all family!" Wednesday immediately had a look of horror and terror on her face, as she began to slowly back away. Then Wednesday closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then said to herself, "No. It's her birthday. You must do this... for Enid." Then Wednesday with all her strength ran into the aisle as she yelled, "Raaah!"
Several hours later, Enid sat in her dorm room and opened up a pink box with a yellow ribbon on it. Enid then took a small stuffed pink puppy out of the box. Enid immediately hugged it as she said, "Aww! He's so cute! Thank you, thank you so much for getting this Wednesday!" As Wednesday sat near Enid, she said, "Do not mention it... to anyone... especially in a court of law." Then as Enid looked at the stuffed toy she said, "This little cutey is ironically a collector's item now since the toy store it was from burned down earlier today. No one got hurt, but they said all the toys there were destroyed. I wonder how that happened." Then as Wednesday looked at a flamethrower she had on a table nearby, she said, "Perhaps some individual felt that after they took one cute toy out of the store, they had to properly bring balance to the universe and their psyche by destroying the rest of the cute products in that establishment."
Day 2:
Wednesday and Enid were wearing black caps and gowns while each holding a black umbrella during a rainy day outside of Nevermore Academy. A smiling Enid then said, "Well this is gonna be fun Wens. Everyone will be wearing your signature black colors today. It's a shame it had to rain on our graduation though." As the two got close to the door of the ceremony building, Wednesday made a small smirk as she she said, "Actually, the heavy rain and dark clouds are quite delightful." Then several male students walked up to Wednesday and Enid as one of them said, "Yo, check it out. The psychopath is finally being kicked out of here." Then a defensive Enid took a step forward and said, "Hey. That's my fiance you're talking about." Then one the guys chuckled and said, "Aww. And her pet is leaving too. Yo, do you regularly overdose on prozac or some other kind of drug, because you always act like you're high on something whack." Then Wednesday suddenly pulled a sword out of her umbrella, and then pointed it at the rude male students as she said, "Your lives will inevitably end one day. However, would you like to speed up the time table to that event?" Then Enid stood close to Wednesday as she said, "Now Wednesday, I think it be more appropriate if we start solving our problems together." Then Enid suddenly had her fingers turn into wolf claws, as she looked at the rude male students and said, "Care to dance?"
Several minutes later: Wednesday and Enid walked into the ceremony building with several blood stains on their graduation gowns, as a wide eyed Enid said, "Oh my gosh. I got such a rush out of that." Wednesday then looked at Enid with awe as she said, "Enid... I believe my attraction for you has just exceedingly grown." Then Wednesday suddenly grabbed Enid, swept her off her feet, titled her back down, and kissed her passionately on the lips. Then as the two kissed, the voice of a male student outside yelled, "I need medical help!" Then Enid stopped her kiss with Wednesday, to look outside as she yelled, "Oh, shut up! You'll live!"
Day 3:
Wednesday and Enid were walking down the sidewalk of a neighborhood, as a confused Wednesday said, "But I thought you had been cast out from your family." Enid then casually said, "Well my mom doesn't want to recognize my existence anymore, but my uncle, aunt, and cousins are still cool. They really wanna meet you. And here's their home." Then Enid knocked on the door to a single family home. The door opened, and a woman with long white hair answered the door as she excitedly said, "Enid! You're here!" Then suddenly ten children and teenagers ran over to the door as many of them said, "Enid! Hey cous! What's up! So glad to see you!" Then the woman with long white hair looked at Wednesday as she said, "And you must Wednesday! My little niece's fiance. Oh, it so nice to meet you! Come here!" Then the woman held her arms out, as a nervous looking Wednesday backed away. Then a smiling Enid said, "Oh, don't mind Wednesday. She just loves her personal space... which you're all gonna love too!" Then Enid suddenly hugged Wednesday, and then everyone else in the house immediately hugged Wednesday and Enid as well. Wednesday meanwhile looked very uncomfortable, as she rolled her eyes and sighed.
Day 4:
Wednesday was sitting in a bedroom on top of a bed as she was reading a book. An excited Enid then said, "Hey Wednesday. My cousins invited me to go to the movies with them tonight. Wanna come too?" Wednesday with a a look of disinterest said, "As you are aware Enid, I have no interest in the visual mediums of entertainment." Then a smiling Enid said, "Come on Wens. Watching an occasional romantic comedy isn't so bad." Then Wednesday in a straight forward tone said, "Except for the fact that catching even a glimpse of one brings back memories of the fact that the last individual that forced me to watch such a film, later attempted to murder me." Enid looked a bit unsure of what to do. Enid then began to leave the room, but then stopped, turned around, walked over to the bed, sat next to Wednesday, and then hugged her. Enid then looked at the book Wednesday was reading, and said, "So... can we read this together?" Wednesday in an emotionless tone said, "If you wish."
Day 5:
Wednesday and Enid walked into a dark building, as a confused Enid said, "My cousins said this is where they wanted to meet." Then suddenly the room lit up as many young woman yelled, "Surprise! Welcome to your Bachelorette Party!" Then Enid turned her head to scan the room, and realized there were many giant stuffed pink unicorns around the room, along with tables filled with pink cakes and cupcakes. Wednesday looked extremely uncomfortable, while a starry eyed and an extremely happy Enid said, "A unicorn themed Bachelorette Party! It's my greatest dream come true!" Then Enid ran over to a giant stuffed pink unicorn that was near her, and hugged it tightly as she said, "Oh my gosh! It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!" Then Wednesday took a bottle of poison out of her pocket, while in an upsetting tone she said, "Someone is about to die." Then a smiling Enid grabbed Wednesday by the arm and said, "Come on Wens. I thought you liked torture. Just think of this as a new form of it." Wednesday sighed, took a deep breath, and then said, "Very well... Let it begin."
Day 6:
Wednesday was sitting on a couch in a living room reading a book. Suddenly Enid's youngest little cousin jumped into Wednesday's lap and said, "Hi Wednesday!" Wednesday looking annoyed: lifted Enid's cousin off her lap, placed her in a nearby chair, and then said, "I do not let other persons sit on my lap." Then as Enid walked into the room, Enid's cousin said, "But you let Enid always sit on your lap." Then as Wednesday sat back down on the couch, in a straight forward voice: she said, "Enid is not a person... she is the love of my life." Then a super happy Enid said, "Aww!" Then Enid jumped into Wednesday's lap and hugged her tightly. Wednesday looked a bit uncomfortable as she said, "Enid, you're crushing my lungs... please continue..."
Day 7:
Wednesday and Enid walked in front of a large old house, as Enid said, "I can't believe it. We're finally home! This old house is now completely ours! I really have to send the biggest thank you card to your dad for helping us pay for this place." In a straight forward tone, Wednesday said, "The dowry my father gave was quite modest when compared to what my maternal grandfather once gave him." Then a happy looking Enid ran up to the front of the house and said, "Ooo. Look. Lots of yellow dandelions grew in front of their house." Then Wednesday took out of her backpack she had on: weed killer spray. Wednesday then prepared to use the spray as she said, "I shall vanquish them immediately." Then a concerned looking Enid said, "But wait. Are you sure you wanna do that Wednesday?" Wednesday looked at Enid, and in a straight forward tone she said, "I believed we both agreed that you were to be the one that would plant a garden in our back yard however you wished, while I would decorate our front yard however I wished. And I wish for nothing but the corpses of flowers to sit in front of our own home. Does my form of gardening displease you?" Enid sighed, and then just looked at Wednesday with a little smile as she said, "No. You have your front yard garden look however you wish." Then Wednesday trying to be more sensitive said, "Are you certain you'd be fine with my decisions? Even if I have no colorful living flowers in this garden?" Enid smirked as she said, "Even if you never have any flowers in this garden... I'll still love it... because it's your garden."
Day 8:
Wednesday walked into the kitchen of her new home as she saw a giant pink box with a yellow bow on it. Wednesday looked a bit shocked and nervous with wide eyes as she starred at the box for a moment. Then Enid jumped up from behind Wednesday and hugged her from behind as she said, "Happy Birthday Wens! I got you a special present!" Then Wednesday opened the present and saw a folded up black sweater inside. Then Enid stood in front of Wednesday wearing a pink sweater as she said, "I got myself a matching sweater too. See." Then Wednesday noticed on Enid's sweater were the words: Nice and Sweet. Wednesday looked unenthusiastic as she said, "Oh Enid, I... believe I shall save wearing this for a more special occasion." Then an excited Enid took Wednesday's sweater out of the box, and said, "Come on silly. Just put it on!" Then Enid quickly forced Wednesday into her new sweater. Wednesday then looked at a nearby mirror, and realized on her sweater were the words: Naughty and Homicidal. A few tears suddenly appeared from Wednesday's eyes, as she made a small smile while saying, "Enid... thank you."
Day 9:
Wednesday was laying naked in a cold bath tub with her eyes closed, her arms folded, and her face just above the water line. The bathroom door then opened, and Enid stepped inside wearing pink pajamas as she said, "Well I just called my cousins, and they said everything is coming together nicely for our wedding day. The wedding cake has been created, the venue is all set for us, we got all the food ready to go, and the forecast is calling for a bright and sunny day." Wednesday then opened her eyes and said, "Well I suppose not everything can be perfect." Then Enid sat by the bath tub and put her hand on Wednesday's stomach as she said, "So... how have the twins been treating you in there?" Then Wednesday in a straight forward tone said, "Our yet to be born children have already caused me morning sickness, increased fatigue, bloating, cramping, congestion, and sore breasts... It feels absolutely wonderful." Then as Enid slowly rubbed Wednesday's stomach she said, "Well... you barely have a baby bump so far, so I'm glad you'll be able to fit into your wonderful dress. You know... it's weird, but... I'm actually glad our kids will sort of be with us at our wedding." Wednesday then looked slightly troubled, as she said, "Enid... do you believe I lacked intelligence or common sense when I chose to become pregnant when I did?"
Then as Enid kept one hand on Wednesday's stomach, she gently moved her other hand to Wednesday's hair as she said, "Wednesday... I think... that you're as weird as shit. But you're passionate, dedicated, hard working, and you don't give an f about what rude people say to you. And that's the kind of person I wanna marry, and that's the kind of person I wanna raise children with." Then suddenly Enid felt a movement from Wednesday's stomach, and looked surprised as she said, "Was that a kick? Oh my gosh, there it is again! Two right at the same time! Our babies are kicking!" Wednesday then made a little smile as she watched how excited Enid looked. Then Wednesday took a deep breath, and said, "Enid... I've thought hard about it... and I believe our second child's name should be... Ana." Enid looked into Wednesday's eyes and smiled as she said, "Ana... That sounds like a beautiful name." Then Enid gave Wednesday a quick kiss on the lips, and then stood up as she prepared to leave the bathroom. Then right before Enid left the bathroom, Wednesday then said, "It's short for Anarchy by the way." Enid looked down, sighed, and then looked up as she chuckled and said, "Of course it is."
Day 10:
In the evening: Wednesday was inside of a bedroom typing at a laptop, when Enid walked in as she said, "Well I finished cleaning our new kitchen of all the cob-webs, but not the ones in the living room as you requested. Hey, it's getting really late. Aren't you about to go to bed?" As Wednesday typed, she said, "Soon. I'm almost done with the tenth chapter of my latest series." Then as Enid looked over Wednesday's shoulder, she said, "What? You've got no sex scenes in this chapter!? You've had at least one in every chapter before this! Why not in this latest one?" Then in a straight forward tone, Wednesday said, "The promise of provocative and exaggerated sex scenes may have brought people into my work, but most of my dedicated readers by this point seem to be more interested in the actual character growth and plot developments now. Also, since my tenth chapter was written in a more experimental style anyway, I decided to see if my audiences would even care if a sex scene was missing in this chapter. But rest assured, a special one will be present next time."
Enid shrugged and said, "Okay. Anyway, I'm gonna go to sleep in the guest room, and try to leave before you wake up. My uncle will be driving me to the wedding, since he'll be giving me away, instead of... you know. But anyway, it's bad luck for the brides to see each other in the morning before the wedding, and it's almost midnight; so I better go" Then Enid leaned in and kissed Wednesday on the lips. Then Enid walked out of the room as she said, "Night Wens." Wednesday simply remained typing as Enid left. Then once Enid was out of the room: Wednesday stopped typing, looked at framed a photo of herself with her family that was taken several years ago, and then looked at a framed old photo of Enid with her brothers and parents. Wednesday starred at the last photo for several moments, and then got out her cell phone. Wednesday then dialed a number, heard a ring, then an answer, and then said, "Hello... Mister and Mrs Sinclair..."
