Adversity

Written by: Fun But Shy Girl

Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair. They were a duo that shouldn't have worked... but they did... and somehow their relationship resulted in marriage. Now, Wednesday and Enid work at their old school: Nevermore Academy as teachers, raising up an entire new generation; including their own twin teenage daughters: Harmony and Ana. Harmony, who carries both of her mother's special abilities, continues to grow and explore the world with her girlfriend Megan. Ana meanwhile... is a different story...

One morning inside of Wednesday and Enid's home: Ana Addams was laying on the couch while watching television. Harmony Addams and her girlfriend Megan then walked into the room, as a curious Harmony said, "Ana, what are you doing?" As Ana simply laid still on the couch in a lazy position, she plainly said, "I'm watching this awesome Disney cartoon from the 1990's called Gargoyles. It is freaking awesome! It's like epic medieval fantasy meets cop drama meets science fiction. It's got everything. Like... why is Disney doing so much stuff with Marvel and Star Wars, when they have this epic franchise they've been sitting on for decades. We gotta revive this awesome series people!" Then Ana's cat jumped on Ana's stomach, and made a loud meowing noise. Ana then pumped her right fist into the air as she yelled, "It shall live again! ... So could anyone get me some snacks from the kitchen? I don't wanna get up."

Enid then walked into the room as she said, "Okay. Harmony and Megan - do you both have all the things you need for your trip?" Megan smiled as she said, "Yes ma'am. I mean if you're gonna be worried, you could come with us to visit Harmony's uncles." A curious Harmony then said, "Yeah. Why aren't you mom? We are visiting your brothers for this Moon Festival thing." Enid made a little sigh, and then said, "Well... you're sixteen years old now Harmony. I mean by ancient werewolf tradition, you're already an adult. I think you're old enough to explore and experience werewolf culture on your own now." Harmony and Megan then prepared to leave, as Harmony said, "Well... I'll tell all the uncles you said hi."

Once Harmony and Megan were gone, Wednesday walked into the room. Wednesday and Enid then approached Ana (who was still lying on the couch). Wednesday crossed her arms as she said, "Ana, we would like to have a word with you about your future." Then an excited Ana said, "Ooo! You wanna help me create my pitch to Disney Plus for my Gargoyles revival idea? I was also hoping I could get them at the same time to revive Spectacular Spider-man: AKA - the BEST SPIDER-MAN CARTOON EVER!" Enid groaned for a moment, and then said, "Ana, you're sixteen years old now. You can't just lounge around between school semesters anymore. It will be over a month until you're back at Nevermore Academy. Until then, your mother and I decided you need a steady job." Then Ana held her cat close to her as she said, "I do have a steady job. I'm a cat mom. Do you know how hard it is to teach this little guy how to be lazy all day?"

Then Wednesday sternly said, "Ana, your mind is chaotic and undisciplined. You are an accomplished and skilled individual, but lack the ability to focus yourself on long term activities outside of your immediate interests. So I made some calls, and have placed you in a seasonal position at Wenclair Fashion." Then Ana rolled her eyes and said, "That clothing company you both started? Lame! Why can't I keep running the school restaurant?" Then Enid glared at Ana as she said, "The restaurant is closed for the winter." Then Ana tilted her head back as she said, "Then why can't I just spend time at the school with you two and study all those crazy forbidden magic spells in the school library? I heard something about these rare crystals that can help people time travel that I wanted to look into." Wednesday suddenly looked a bit embarrassed as she said, "That will not be possible, as we have both been placed on a... mandatory sabbatical from the school, due to... reasons." A confused looking Ana then said, "What reasons?"

*Flashback to Two Weeks Ago:

Enid was laying naked on the desk in Wednesday's office, as a naked Wednesday crawled on top of her. Wednesday stuck her tongue into Enid's vagina as Enid began to moan loudly. Then Wednesday moved her body forward, and stuck two fingers into Enid's vagina while beginning to suck on Enid's breasts. Enid smiled as she said, "Oh yes Wens-babe!" Then Enid stuck two fingers down and began to stick them into Wednesday's vagina. Enid used her other hand to start spanking Wednesday's butt, while Wednesday began to make light bite marks on Enid's neck. Enid made a big smile as she said, "Yes Wednesday! Yes! Yes! YESSSSS!" Then suddenly a young male student opened the door to the office as he said, "Ms Addams, I just wanted to discuss my recent test on... OH MY GOD!" Then suddenly the naked Wednesday and Enid turned their heads to look at the young male student, as a panicked Enid yelled, "OH MY GOD!"

In the present, a guilty looking Enid said, "Lets just say... due to something not being locked... the principal has decided your mother and I need a little break from the school... which is honestly a far better sentence than we deserved." Then Wednesday looked directly at Ana as she said, "Regardless, you are to immediately start reading the company handbook to become familiar with the rules and guidelines of your new workplace, and will begin attending to your new duties immediately tomorrow morning!" Wednesday then walked out of the room, as Ana rolled her eyes and said, "Fine. I'll skim through some handbook... after I finish a few more episodes of Disney's Gargoyles." Then just as Ana reached for the remote, Enid snatched the remote away as she firmly said, "No Ana! You're not a kid anymore! From this point forward: unless you're in the middle of a school semester, or get called to do one of your missions, you go to work from now on!"

Then Ana made a pleading look in her eyes as she said, "But mom, I just wanted to finish binging Gargoyles! I'm only 42 episodes away from being done! Plus, you should watch it with me! The voice actors for this series include half the cast of every Star Trek show! I have no idea why. But they're all amazing in this series!" Then an excited Enid said, "Ooo! I knew I heard Jonathan Frakes' voice from the other room. Tell me. Does he also do the Riker Maneuver in this show every time he... NO! You are not a child anymore Ana! It's time to grow up!" Then Enid angerly walked out of the room. Ana then looked at her cat as she said, "What's wrong with them Stormageddon the Conqueror? Why do they want me to work? This is America! The land where you're supposed to get all the things you don't deserve. It's in the Constitution... or maybe it isn't... I don't know. No one has actually read that thing. It's better to treat it like an imaginary friend, and have it be whatever you want."

Harmony and Ana walked into a wide open park, where they saw many hairy looking men and women talking, dancing, eating food, and also wrestling with one another. A man in his 40's then ran over to Harmony smiling as he said, "Hey Harmony!" Harmony smiled back, as she excitedly said, "Uncle Kodi!" Harmony and her uncle Kodi immediately hugged one another briefly, and then Harmony said, "Oh. Uncle Kodi. I brought my girlfriend Megan with me. I hope that's okay." Kodi smirked as he said, "Yeah. Of course it's fine. In fact, according to werewolf tradition: Megan is already part of the family. My sister did tell me you two have already essentially become mates." Harmony and Megan instantly blushed as Megan said, "Well... you could say that." Then as Kodi pointed to the activities going on, he said, "Well luckily, you both get to experience your first Moon Festival together. You're both gonna really enjoy this." Then a curious Megan asked, "So what is this Moon Festival?" Kodi looked excited as he said, "On the last full moon of the year, we all gather together for fun and games, and re-connect with our ancient werewolf culture." Then suddenly the three noticed two older adults standing in front of a karaoke machine as they sang, "Don't stop believing! Hold onto that feeling! Street light people!" Then Harmony raised one eyebrow while looking at Kodi as she said, "Reconnect with ancient werewolf culture, huh?" Kodi chuckled, and then said, "It's also an excuse to just party. But when it comes time to perform the old ceremonies, we do take things seriously."

Then everyone heard the voice of an old woman say, "And those ceremonies must not be skipped, even if you've had too much to drink the night before." Everyone turned their heads, and saw an old woman with silver hair step towards them. Everyone briefly stood in aware as the old woman slowly walked forward, while she wore a long robe which seemed to include a mix of sheep wool and buffalo skin. Kodi then held out a hand as he said, "Ladies, this is Mistress Kylie. She's in charge of the traditional Moon Festival activities we partake in, and is a spiritual leader in the werewolf community." The old woman: Mistress Kylie made a warm smile as she calmly said, "I also hold close to the teachings of the ancient werewolves, and use what our kind has learned over the centuries to guide the werewolves of today. And who might you ladies be?" Harmony then waved slightly as she said, "Um, my name is Harmony Addams. I'm Kodi's niece" Mistress Kylie continued to hold her warm smile as she said, "Ah, yes. You're Esther Sinclair's grand-daughter. The only young female of the Sinclair Pack that carries the gift of transformation."

A slightly confused looking Harmony then said, "Um... if you mean I'm the only teenage girl in the family that can wolf out, you're correct. I also brought my girlfriend Megan with me." Mistress Kylie looked slightly troubled as she said, "Well... while I am not keen for outsiders to join in on the festivities... I will permit you to observe them. I'll see you all at the gathering tomorrow." As Mistress Kylie walked away, a confused Megan then asked, "As nice as she seemed at face value... there's something off about that lady." Kodi sighed slightly, and then said, "While Mistress Kylie may officially just be in charge of some of the ceremonies, some traditional werewolves still view the Moon Festival Mistress as a spiritual leader whose commands must be obeyed." Then a curious Harmony asked, "But if the full moon isn't until two days from now... why are celebrating today?" Then Kodi smirked as she said, "Wouldn't you rather have a week long party, instead of one day party? Now, who wants some fried chicken!" Harmony and Megan smiled as they followed Kodi over to a nearby barbecue.

At Wenclair Fashion, Ana was sitting near a display area as she was working on a black outfit. An older woman walked over to Ana as she said, "Hello there Ana. How are you doing with repairing the display outfits I assigned you to?" Ana only glanced at her boss as she casually said, "Oh. Those outfits. They were totally lame. So I took the material and made some new ninja outfits from them. I even made a little ninja outfit for Stormageddon the Conqueror." Then Ana's cat jumped into the room wearing a black outfit, and a red ninja mask over his eyes. Then as Ana's cat began jumping in the air, an excited Ana yelled, "Go ninja, go ninja, go! Go ninja, go ninja, go! Ninja, ninja, rap! Ninja, ninja, rap!" Ana's boss then looked annoyed as she said, "Ana, that wasn't the assignment you were given! I don't care if you're the daughter of this company's founders. As your manager, I can longer let you continue to work..."

Then suddenly two young women walked into the store as one of them said, "OMG! I just saw your ninja costumes through the display case, and me and my live action role playing friends would love those outfits! Can we have forty of them by this weekend!?" Then an excited Ana jumped up as she said, "Well, you'd have to pay us a rush delivery fee, but I'm sure we can get it done by then!" The young women happily squealed in excitement and then left. Ana then glanced at her boss as she said, "So... ready to make some ninja outfits?" Ana's boss looked nervous as she said, "Ana... Wenclair Fashion has never made ninja outfits. We don't know how." Then Ana held up some design plans as she said, "Luckily, I do. So... are you ready to let me start doing the managing around here?" Ana's boss took a deep breath, sighed, and then reluctantly said, "What would you like Ana?" Then Ana excitedly said, "Okay. I'm gonna need ten staff members in here immediately to follow my directions to the letter, all the different shades of black cloth we have in the warehouse, fifty chocolate doughnuts, ten cans of peanut butter, twenty sticks of dynamite, and a cool red hat!"

Wednesday and Enid were laying naked in bed together, cuddling one another. A very pleased looking Enid smiled as she said, "Mmm. That was amazing Wens-babe. Five orgasms in one hour. Your fingers and mouth are practically like magic now. How did you get so good?" Then Wednesday looked at Enid with a straight face as she said, "Through a deal I made with a demon. I promised him the souls of ten murderers on the run from the law who were long over-due to met their demise, in exchange for gaining supernatural enhancements to our sex life." Enid chuckled as she said, "Funny." Then Enid noticed Wednesday's face was making a deadly glare at her. Enid suddenly looked scared for a moment as she said, "Oh shit. You're actually serious. Well anyway... I'm still glad we had plenty of time alone in the house today." Then Wednesday plainly said, "Indeed. As much as Harmony needs to spend time with your family, and Ana needs to learn responsibility... removing them from the house for several days was indeed motivated by my own self-interests."

Enid smiled as she said, "Well... now that you've served your needs, can you serve mine? We're sort of out of everything in the kitchen, and I need someone to pick up groceries from the market in town tomorrow." A curious Wednesday then asked, "Why don't you use those infernal food delivery services?" Enid raised one eyebrow as she said, "Don't you remember Wednesday? After all those incidents with the possessed bear, no one delivers to our house anymore. So will you go shopping for me? I almost always do it, and I'd like a break for once." Wednesday sighed, and then said, "I believe continuing our arrangement when it comes to our regular shopping would be the more appropriate option." Then Enid made a little smirk as she said, "If you do... I'll do that thing with my tongue I usually save for your birthday." Wednesday's eyes widened as she said, "What?" Then Enid put a blanket over her head, and then brought her head to Wednesday's vagina, while using her hands to squeeze Wednesday's butt very tightly. As Wednesday suddenly felt Enid's tongue do special acts upon her womanhood, she said, "Ooooh. OOOOOHHHH! OOOOHHHH! YES! YES ENID! YESSSSSS!" Then Enid stuck her head out from the blanket while quickly saying, "So that's a yes to go shopping then? Thanks Wednesday!" Wednesday then glared at Enid as she made an annoyed groaning noise.

Harmony and Megan were being led by Kodi towards a congregation of individuals that were gathered around an outdoor stage. Everyone was wearing large robes, as a confused Harmony said, "So why are we all wearing robes?" Kodi then casually said, "Because traditionally we're all supposed to wear only these loose robes, so we can immediately wolf out after the ceremony, and not tear up our regular clothes. Although, most of us now wear underwear and stretchy sweatpants underneath." Then within minutes, Mistress Kylie took the stage. Many individuals then began to make wolf-like howls into the sky. Mistress Kylie smiled as she stood behind a podium. While speaking into a microphone, Mistress Kylie used a very calm warm voice as she said, "My fellow werewolves. It is a privilege to speak to you this year for this very special Moon Festival. The spirits or our ancestors are truly with us, and as your spiritual leader - those spirits have spoken to me to help remind us all of the suffering our kind endured centuries ago. We must remember the stories we know from the ancient texts; which tell us how when the early Pilgrims first came to these shores and tried to do away with all outcasts, werewolves were the first to truly fight back against them. Many of our kind were killed, scattering the many packs... but our traditions and culture were preserved!"

Mistress Kylie then pumped her fist into the air, causing many people to make wolf-like howls into the air. Then once the howls died down, Mistress Kylie then calmly said, "But... our ways are being attacked again. Many werewolves have now left our way of life due to the allure the rest of the world gives them. Meanwhile the way werewolves are still poorly represented in the media continue to hurt the world's perception of our kind. And the worst news of all... werewolves are being attacked discretely in the streets again by those in law enforcement. To all these terrible things I say, no more! We must fight back my fellow werewolves! We must fight back against the system! We must preserve our way of life! We must fight to preserve our very kind!" Mistress Kylie then pumped her fist into the air, causing some (but not all) of the people to make wolf-like howls into the air. Harmony and Megan meanwhile had unsettled nervous looks on their faces as they glanced at one another.

The next morning at Wenclair Fashion, many people were using machines to add pockets to a series of a ninja outfits that were being created. Ana walked around the workers holding a brand new mop in one hand, while also wearing a brown coat, bow tie, and red fez on her head. As Ana walked around the workers, she said, "Yep. Make sure the pocket opening is as concealed as possible. These outfits aren't for fashion people. They're designed for discrete warriors." Then Ana's cat jumped on her shoulder while wearing a little bow tie and little red fez, and made a happy meowing noise. Ana smiled as she looked at her cat while saying, "Oh, hey Stormageddon the Conqueror. Good to see you got the new memo on what this company's newest managers get to wear now. Bow ties are cool, aren't they?"

Then Ana's boss walked over to Ana as she said, "Ana, I don't think the plastic sword accessories we're giving these clients are necessary." Then a frustrated Ana pointed her mop at her boss as she said, "Yeah, and you don't pay for those tortilla clips you get at Mexican restaurants; but they give it to you as a free treat in hopes you come back! Plus, if we give out free plastic swords, our ninja clients will ask for more weapons; which we can totally over-charge them for when they want the complete ninja weapon set!" Then Ana's boss looked frustrated as she said, "Ana, this is a fashion company. It's not a ninja supply store." Then Ana made a big grin as she said, "Not yet... but it will be! Bwa, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

Wednesday was moving through a grocery store in the morning very quickly as she grabbed many items. Soon Wednesday moved towards the front of the store and reached the only checkout line in the store, and saw two people in front of her. Wednesday sighed, and then said to herself, "Just two people in front. This shouldn't take long." Then an old woman ahead in line who had just finished her check out, looked at the amount of money she was owed on a small screen, and then loudly said, "Why aren't I getting this discount on this pineapple?! The ad I saw in the newspaper this morning said pineapples in this store were fifty cents off today!" Then the young male teenage cashier said, "Well ma'am, these prices are set by the system, and I can't..." Then the old woman yelled, "I'm not paying an extra fifty cents that I don't have to pay! Either you take 50 cents off my purchase, or I'm not buying any of these twenty bags of food I was planning to get." The young teenage cashier then grabbed a phone and said, "Uhh... can a manager please come up here?" Then the old woman said, "Well I'm glad a real worker is coming over here. Maybe they can also explain why the price of my favorite ice cream has gone up four cents!" Meanwhile Wednesday was watching the ordeal; while her right eye began to twitch, and her face began to become filled with anger.

Harmony was in her werewolf form running through the woods, as Megan was riding on Harmony's back. Three other werewolves ran besides Harmony as they began to howl at the sky. Megan laughed as the werewolves all reached a playground in a nearby park. Megan then jumped off Harmony, and opened up a backpack she was holding. Megan then gave Harmony an over-sized t-shirt, as Harmony slowly began to transform back to her regular human form. The other werewolves all transformed into Harmony's uncles in human form (and were all wearing stretchy sweatpants). Kodi smiled as he said, "So how did you both like that?" Harmony had amazement in her face as she said, "It was just... wow. The rush, the adrenaline, the way all my thoughts just became so simple... it was completely life changing." One of Harmony's other uncles smirked as he said, "It was like that for all of us too when we first wolfed out in our ancestral forests. Anyway, we're gonna take another run. You think you can keep up with us?" Harmony then sat down on a playground swing as she said, "Nah. That experience was life-changing... but also exhausting. I'm gonna take a little break." Then Kodi sat down as well as he said, "Yeah, and I'm not getting any younger. We'll catch up with you guys later." The other men then transformed back into werewolf form, and then ran off.

Kodi then glanced at Megan as he said, "And so how was it for you Megan?" Then Megan cautiously said, "Well... I wouldn't say it was like a spiritual experience for me... but it did felt like a rush, and I can better understand now why werewolves congregate to experience this sort of thing together. But... I'm a little concerned about what Mistress Kylie was saying during her speech earlier. It almost sounded like she was calling all werewolves to stage a revolution on all of humanity." Kodi looked a bit uncomfortable as he sighed, and then said, "Eh... that's just how a lot of older werewolves talk. They complain and complain about how they wish the world was better for werewolves. Most of us younger werewolves just ignore them. We let them whine for awhile, and then we just go back to our normal lives. Anyway, lets have some fun. Harmony, wanna see how loud you can howl?" Harmony looked hesitant for just a second, and then smiled as she said, "Sure."

Harmony and Kodi transformed into their werewolf forms, and then stood on top of a playground jungle gym. The two then both began to howl loudly in the sky. Megan then stood up and clapped as she said, "Awesome!" Then suddenly a police car stopped right near the playground. A police officer ran out of the car as he yelled, "You werewolves! Transform back to human form and put your hands in the air now!" A confused Harmony and Kodi then transformed back into human form as a concerned Harmony said, "Is there a problem officer?" The police officer looked angry as he said, "What are you werewolves doing so far from home, huh? You waiting to attack some unsuspecting kids at this playground?"

Kodi took a step forward as he said, "Officer, my extended family owns the woods right near this playground." The police officer than angerly took out a gun and yelled, "Freeze! Don't come any closer you dangerous freak! We know what your kind are up to today!" A confused Megan then said, "Officer, I'm not a werewolf; and as their friend I can promise you they're not..." The police officer then angerly yelled, "You're all coming with me to the station then! 'Cuff em with our special werewolf resistant gear Louie." Another police officer then stepped out of the car and began to quickly put Harmony, Megan, and Kodi in handcuffs... as all three of them looked very confused, shocked, and hurt inside.

At Wenclair Fashion: Ana was sitting in an office looking through some paperwork (still wearing a brown coat, bow tie, and red fez), while her cat sat on her shoulder. A grinning Ana then said, "Look what just a little social media buzz got us Stormageddon the Conqueror. We've got orders going though the roof with people who want to buy all our ninja outfits and gear! If we can keep these numbers rising into next quarter, then we can corner the market on everything ninja related, and that will pave the way for us to take over the corporate world!" Then Ana suddenly heard lots of chatter in the hallway outside her office. Ana then saw a teen girl loudly chatting with many office staff.

A confused looking Ana then said, "Hold on. Jessica Wentworth?" The teen girl: Jessica, smiled as she walked over to Ana and said, "Oh, hey Ana! I didn't know other people from Nevermore Academy worked here." Ana then walked towards Jessica looking annoyed as she said, "What are you doing here?" Jessica made a big grin as she said, "Oh. I'm one of the winter interns here." Then a more annoyed Ana said, "No. I mean... what are you doing here right now?" Then Jessica casually said, "Oh, when I come into work, I always like chatting with everyone for awhile before I sit down at my desk." Ana then raised one eyebrow as she said, "Work started three hours ago!" Then a smiling and innocent looking Jessica said, "Really? Oh my. Well, I guess I just got carried away with talking. But chatting up with friends makes the workplace more fun, right?"

Then a very angry Ana suddenly had her eyes filled with rage as she yelled, "What the heck are you talking about!? Chatting with your friends and strolling around the office to socialize doesn't make work better! Work makes work better! Businesses don't make profit from you chit-chatting with your pals all day! You all wanna hang out and chat for hours!? Work your eight hour shift, and then goof off." Jessica looked very freaked out and scared as she said, "But I just wanted to relax for a bit while I..." Then Ana looked furious as she yelled, "Jessica, you're sixteen years old now. You can't just schmooze around between school semesters anymore. Your mind is chaotic and undisciplined. You are an accomplished and skilled individual, but lack the ability to focus yourself on long term activities outside of your immediate interests! Now get back to your real work." Then Jessica looked very scared as she rushed away.

Then Ana suddenly had a freaked out and scared look on her face. Ana then turned to look at her cat as she said, "Oh my God. I was just talking like mother and mom. Stormageddon the Conqueror... I have become that what I most feared I'd be one day... an adult." Ana's cat then made a sad meowing noise. Ana then walked back to her office with a sad look on her face as she said, "Come on Stormageddon the Conqueror. Lets drown our sorrows in McDonald's food and enjoy whatever time I have left before my body and better judgment makes me realize that stuff is more unhealthy than eating dumpster trash."

At the grocery store, Wednesday was still standing in the checkout line. The old lady was beginning to leave the checkout with everything she bought, as the exhausted cashier said, "Have a good day ma'am." Then an old man (who was the only person in front of Wednesday) went over to the cashier and said, "Hello. I'd like to buy this package of thirty water bottles." The cashier then happily said, "Well, that will be fifteen dollars. Will you be paying with cash, check, or credit?" The old man then angerly yelled, "Thirty dollars!? Your poster outside said the water bottles were half off today! I demand to speak to your manager about this now!" The cashier then looked scared as he cautiously said, "Okay. I will. But... it's just water sir. If you're this upset, then why don't you just go home and just use your faucet to..." Then the old man yelled, "Don't criticize my buying habits you over-privileged bratty Gen Z hipster! It's your generation that's destroying our great nation! I've been watching cable news eight hours a day ever since I retired at age 55! I know what I'm talking about!" Meanwhile Wednesday was standing behind the old man with her cart, while beginning to grind her teeth and make growls of anger.

Harmony, Megan, and Kodi were sitting in a jail cell inside a small police station, while watching a television that was placed in the cell with them. On the television, a female news reporter appeared saying, "Over a dozen werewolves led by controversial werewolf leader: Kylie Luna were arrested tonight during an attempt to attack the city council while in session. Many eye witness accounts and video footage do reveal that some werewolves that weren't involved this attack were arrested. However the chief of police states that law enforcement officers were simply directed to bring in any questionable werewolves. The governor's office has yet to release a statement on..." Suddenly Harmony turned off the television, and angerly said, "This is totally messed up! We had nothing to do with those crazy werewolves that attacked the city council! We were just howling on the playground!" Kodi looked depressed as he said, "Well... this is how it's been for werewolves for centuries. We've been attached and oppressed and profiled as a danger to society. It's no surprise Mistress Kylie and several other werewolves felt so compelled to lash out in anger."

Harmony kicked the wall briefly, and then said, "But those idiots have just made everything worse for themselves, and especially those werewolves who just want peace. I mean... I know things have been rough for werewolves and all outcasts for centuries. I mean, me and my sister were once put on trial for practically just existing. But things have gotten better... or they should have. Uugh! Still... the world just has to continue to be so screwed up. Too many normies are still motivated by feelings of fear and inferiority, and attack what they don't understand. Meanwhile too many werewolves have been led to act like idiots thanks to holding on too tightly to stupid werewolf traditions. It now makes perfect sense why my mom turned her back on being a werewolf. It's not wolfing out that she didn't like. She wanted to wolf out when she was a teenager. She obviously just got tired eventually of being associated with this stupid culture and all it's ridiculous outdated traditions!" Then Megan stood up and angerly said, "Don't talk about your culture and it's traditions like they're simply trash Harmony!" Harmony suddenly looked confused as she said, "What are you talking about Megan? Do you not see how screwed up everything is right now!?"

Megan looked at Harmony with a determined face as she said, "Of course I do Harmony! I am fully aware there are people in authority who have been driven by fear and anger to unjustly imprison us. I am also aware that there are leaders in the werewolf community who have twisted the teachings and traditions of your culture as a means to drive their own agendas that are also based in fear and anger. But that doesn't mean you have to throw your traditions and culture away. Werewolves have had to endure great hardships over the centuries. Ancient packs were driven apart by people who hunted werewolves under the belief that they were hunting mere mindless beasts. However the traditions, rituals, songs, and stories of the werewolf culture motivated werewolves over the centuries to stay alive, reunite the packs, and prove they were more than just beasts who howled at the moon. I'm not saying all of the old werewolf ways need to be preserved... but they shouldn't be all thrown away either. Werewolves just need to find a way to more peacefully share and grow their culture; so that it's harder for lies about them to be spread by all the haters to the ignorant. No one should try to force their cultures and beliefs on others... but we should all find a peaceful way to share them."

Kodi had a look of amazement in his eyes, as he glanced at Harmony while saying, "I can tell why you like this girl Harmony." Harmony made a little smile as she said, "You know... you're... you're actually right Megan. We should work on ideas of how we can improve relations between normies and werewolves when we get out of here. But first... how do we get out of here?" Megan made a little smirk as she said, "Well luckily, I knew exactly who to contact with my one phone call." Then suddenly through the nearby door to the police station, Bianca Barclay walked in. Bianca immediately gave some paperwork to a nearby police officer as she said, "I'm Bianca Barclay. Attorney for Harmony Addams, Megan Zimmerman, and Kodi Sinclair. Due to the lack of mandatory body cameras being turned on during this ordeal, the very loose circumstantial evidence, and the lack of any signed order to actually arrest any suspicious werewolves: I hereby demand you release my clients immediately, or you will soon be facing the biggest lawsuit this little sheriff's office has ever faced!" The nervous police officer then said, "Um... let me call my boss." Bianca smirked as she said, "You do that." As Harmony, Megan, and Kodi watched, an impressed Kodi said, "Man. You girls got friends in high places." Harmony smiled for a moment... but then made a little sigh, as she said, "Yeah... but not everyone that lands in positions like ours does..."

At Wenclair Fashion: Ana was walking down an office hallway holding a mop (still wearing a brown coat, bow tie, and red fez), when suddenly she heard the sound of someone crying. Ana then walked into the break room, and saw Jessica sitting alone at a table crying. Ana then sat in front of Jessica and said, "Jessica, what's wrong?" Jessica then looked at Ana with tears in her eyes as she said, "It's just... I was hoping my internship would lead to a paid job here when I heard one of the assistant designers was leaving. But... the head of the design department said... they weren't interested in keeping me on. It's just difficult to deal with because I work so hard and give it my all, but instead... people just treat me like I'm worthless!" Then Ana calmly said, "Oh, Jessica... you are worthless." Jessica suddenly had a confused look on her face as she said, "Is that supposed to help me feel better?" Then Ana with a straight forward tone said, "Jessica, this is a workplace! We don't care about your feelings here. We just care about profit and finding the best people to make us profit! If you don't feel good, then deal with that on your own time! You're not gonna get promoted just because you feel like you work hard and deserve it! You have to actually get stuff done!" Jessica looked distraught as she said, "But I..." Then Ana immediately pointed her mop at Jessica, and yelled, "Get back to work, and save your tears for when you clock out!"

Jessica then ran out of the room crying, while Ana stood looking angry for a moment. Then Ana suddenly looked scared as she looked at herself for a moment. Ana's cat then walked into the room, and said, "Rowr?" Ana then looked at her cat with a nervous expression as she said, "Stormageddon the Conqueror... what am I becoming? I can feel my brain restructuring itself! I'm losing the part of myself that's always been a child, and I find my mind now becoming that of an adult! How do I stop this!?" Then Ana's cat jumped on top of a table, looked at Ana silently for a moment... and then simply said, "Rowr." Then Ana's face lit up with a bright smile as she said, "You're right Stormageddon the Conqueror. I shouldn't fear growing up. My childhood is over, and I must embrace becoming an adult... who refuses to stop acting like a child; because that's what being an American is all about!" Then Ana's cat looked happy, as it jumped up and yelled, "Rowr!"

At the grocery store, Wednesday was still angerly standing in the checkout line behind the old man who was buying water. Meanwhile the cashier was holding several papers in front of the old man as he said, "So you see sir, you actually do get a discount. The water is marked down from it's usual price. It was just logged into the system as a new fixed price, instead of as a discount. But as you can see from the figures given by our marketing department, and the information you called up from your bank to give us, you are getting the water bottles for half the price you paid last time you were here." The old man still looked a bit frustrated as he said, "Well... thank you for making sure. I know spending three hours making sure I was getting a proper discount may seem like a waste time to you; but I worked hard to get the money I made being a CEO of a company that my father put me in charge of thanks to nepotism, and I just want to make sure not a single cent I made is swindled off of me. I care about what's best for the world! Now then, I can't wait to drink this water at home, and then throw the empty bottles in the trash can, instead of some recycling bin. That whole save the planet with recycling talk is just a conspiracy theory."

The old man then walked away, as Wednesday breathed a sigh of relief while walking towards the cashier with her own food. Suddenly another older man ran over to the cashier (stopping Wednesday), and yelled, "Hold on! I demand a refund! This package says there's supposed to be thirty cookies in here, but I only counted twenty nine!" Then the old woman from earlier ran over and said, "And this ice cream I bought says it contains two quarts, but I measured it, and it only contains 1.99 quarts! I demand a refund!" Then the old man from earlier ran over and yelled, "And one of my water bottles here has a tear on the wrapper! How do I know this one bottle comes from the same distilled water source as the others!? I demand a refund!" Then Wednesday suddenly had a fiery look in her eyes as she screamed, "That's it!"

Then Wednesday suddenly jumped on top of a food convener belt, and took out of from the hidden pockets on her dress: a sword and flamethrower. Then Wednesday pointed her sword and flamethrower at the other customers, and with a crazed angry face she yelled, "I have had to face psychopaths, demons, hydes, zombies, a dark alternate universe version of myself, cloned cat monsters, a shrtriga, evil sirens, lizard monsters, my mother in law... but you people are the worst living creatures I have encountered in all of existence! Never return to this establishment or appear in my line of sight ever again; for if you do: I will end your lives, and drag your souls to the darkest depths of hell!"

Looking scared, all of the other customers ran out of the store as they screamed in terror. Wednesday then jumped back onto the floor, and quietly put her sword and flamethrower away. Then suddenly all of the grocery store employees clapped and cheered for Wednesday. The cashier, with a pleased look in his eyes, then said, "Lady... I've been wanting someone that to the customers ever since I got this job!" Then the store manager walked over to Wednesday saying, "Ma'am, all your groceries are on us today; and you're getting the 10 percent employee discount for life!" Then suddenly Wednesday took her sword out as she glared at the manager while saying, "Make that a 20 percent discount, and we have a deal. There will be no haggling." The manager suddenly looked nervous as he said, "Um... yeah. Sure."

A week later, Harmony and Ana (still wearing the red fez, brown coat, and bow tie) were standing in front of a crowd of people near a park. An excited Ana then yelled, "Welcome everyone to the first annual Werewolves versus Ninjas tournament. Sponsored by Wenclair Fashion; which is also the exclusive supplier of Ana's Awesome Ninja Gear!" A smiling Harmony then said, "Today, we invite everyone to experience what the ancient traditions of werewolf hunting was like; but now altered to simply involve nonviolent paintball." Then Ana held out a ninja suit and weapons as she said, "So if all of you wanna be ninjas need some practice at hiding from your enemies and attacking them from the shadows, this is the event to hone your ninja skills. However, you all better watch out. All my werewolf uncles and cousins here are not easy to beat in combat." Then an excited Harmony said, "And throughout the day, we also invite everyone to check out the pavilion where they can experience and learn of many other traditions that those in the werewolf community still celebrate to this day."

Soon the crowd dispersed as many people began to get ready for the non-violent hunting games, while other people began to walk over to a pavilion where several werewolves were showing off their skills. Then from nearby: Wednesday, Enid, Megan and Kodi walked over to Harmony and Ana. As Kodi looked around, he said, "Harmony, Ana... this was an amazing idea. You found a way to help people better understand and participate in werewolves culture, while also allowing werewolves to continue their old hunting traditions, but in a fun way." Then a proud looking Ana said, "Well I simply turned a problem into a solution. Society at large will better understand werewolf culture now... while I get super rich from all the ninja gear I sell. That's the way a business woman works baby!" Then a confused looking Megan said, "I do have to ask one very important question though Ana; which is... what in the name of sanity have you got on your head?" Then Ana with a calm and cool expression, pointed to the red fez on her head while saying, "It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool."

Then Wednesday raised one eyebrow as she said, "I have my own question though. How did you both raise the funding to create an event like this so quickly?" Then a smiling Ana said, "Oh, it was easy. Like I said, it was sponsored by Wenclair Fashion... which I'm in charge of now." Suddenly Wednesday and Enid both looked surprised, as together they yelled, "What!?" Then a casual sounding Ana said, "Yeah. After all my ninja outfits and gear immediately propelled the company to new profitable heights, I did a hostile takeover of the board of directors... and now I'm in charge." Then a confused looking Enid said, "But... me and your mother started the company! How is that even possible!?" Then a calm sounding Ana said, "Relax. I'm not gonna be a boss who actually manages. I'm gonna be the kind of boss who watches TV all day, while getting rich off the residuals from the stuff I came up with. The actual individual that I've put in charge of the company's day to day operations is Stormageddon the Conqueror."

Then Ana's cat walked over the group, jumped on top of a table, starred quietly at Wednesday and Enid for a moment, and then simply said, "Rowr." Then Ana glared at Wednesday and Enid as she said, "That's right; and don't even think about talking back to him! Anyway, if anyone needs me for the rest of the day, I'll be re-watching The Marvels. Such a good movie. There's something to be said about a fun film with several leading ladies that each have a distinct personality, while also being aided by an usual cat... that just feels so familiar..." Then Ana casually walked off with her cat, as a confused looking Enid said, "What just happened!?" Then suddenly an old woman was heard saying to a nearby booth vendor, "This ninja outfit is five millimeters shorter than it says on the packaging! I demand a refund!" Then Wednesday suddenly glared at the old woman from afar, and yelled, "You!" Then the old woman turned her head, recognized Wednesday, and quickly said, "Oh shit!" Then the old woman quickly ran away, while a wide eyed angry Wednesday got out a sword and ran after her while yelling, "Raaaaahhhhh!. As Kodi watched, he smiled while saying, "Well Enid, it likes your wife is really embracing the werewolf hunting style." Then as Enid realized what Wednesday was starting to do, she said, "Oh God. Not again! I need one person to call an ambulance, while everyone else helps me hold Wednesday back!"
