Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair. They were a duo that shouldn't have worked... but they did... and somehow their relationship resulted in marriage and children. However despite these two seemingly being the center of their own little universe; many other people still fell in love, got married, and had children of their own at the same time Wednesday and Enid did. Today we look at the story of another family whose lives started completely separate from Wednesday and Enid... but would eventually have the story of their lives become intertwined with that of our usual main characters. What you will see below are just small pieces of a larger tapestry. The words you are about to read may not contain the full story... but then again... isn't there always more to tell in any story?...

Fun But Shy Girl Presents...

The Missing Pieces

Chapter 1 - The Passion of a Moment

An eighteen year old boy with pale skin and black hair was skateboarding down a sidewalk in town. As the boy rolled down the sidewalk, he began to feel lost in the wonderful feeling of the wind in his face, and the nature of gravity doing all the work in building up his momentum down an incline. However just as the boy was about to reach a crosswalk, one of his wheels came off his skateboard. The sudden shift in the board caused the boy to lose his balance, and thanks to the built up momentum - he began to fly into the middle of the street just as a large truck was coming his way. The boy had lost all balance and wasn't able to move away quick enough to get away from the truck. Suddenly a girl with light brown skin and dark curly hair ran into the street and tackled the boy out of the way. The boy and girl narrowly missed getting hit by the truck and fell to the ground. The boy fell on his back, while the girl instantly laid on top of him. Their faces were instantly an inch apart, and both of their eyes widened as they caught their breath.

As the girl continued to lay on top of the boy, she simply looked into his eyes as she said, "Are you okay?" The boy began to be entranced by the girl's beauty as he said, "Yes. Thank you. I... I think you saved my life." The girl smiled as she said, "It was the right thing to do. I'm Alisha by the way. What's your name?" The boy smiled as he said, "Max." Suddenly, the girl: Alisha quickly got off of Max as she said, "Oh my. I'm sorry for laying on top of you so long." Then as Max sat up, he said, "It's okay. I liked it... er, I mean I liked it when you saved me, and I understand you falling on top of me was an accident." Then a curious Alisha asked, "What happened?" Then as Max picked up his skateboard, he said, "Looks like one of my wheels came undone. Hmm. It looks like maybe there's some small pieces that were missing."

Then as Max pulled up one of his pants legs, he said, "Ooo. Looks like I got a few bad scrapes and bruises." Then Alisha helped Max up as she said, "Come on. There's a restaurant right around the block. I'm sure they have some ice there, and hopefully some bandages." Then Max smiled as he said, "And while we're there, maybe I can buy you dinner. I mean... it's the least I can do after you saved my life." Alisha then blushed a bit as she said, "You know... I typically don't go on dates with guys I've just met." Then Max smirked as he said, "And I typically don't go on dates with girls I've just met. But... how about we just give into the passion of a moment, and see where it leads us?" Alisha smirked, and then said, "Okay hot shot. Lets see where this leads..."

Chapter 6 - The Next Step

Alisha sat on a bench in a cemetery while looking at the sky. From nearby, Max walked over to Alisha and sat down next to her. Alisha looked at Max as she said, "How did you know I'd be here?" Then Max made a little smile as he said, "Because I know what today is and figured you'd be here." Alisha then tilted her head to the side and rested it on Max's shoulder. Max then put an arm around Alisha and said, "You gonna be okay?" Alisha sighed and said, "Well... I have learned how to cope with the feelings better. My sister Sydney... I miss her so much. Even though the police put that idiot white supremacist who shot her in jail for life... it still hurts knowing there are people out there filled with that much senseless hate in their hearts."

Max sighed, and then said, "Yeah. I... I don't get why that kind of hate still exists today. I mean I was raised better, but... you know I heard other guys in the locker room say pretty racist stuff back when I was in high school... and it took all the self control inside myself to not just punch them all in the face." Alisha sighed, and then said, "This town... it's getting too broken. Now that certain politicians have made hate speech more acceptable again, it's just emboldened the haters more than ever. I... I can't stay here anymore. There's fighting for equality... and then there's staying in a toxic town far longer than one should. As soon as I finish up medical school, I am so moving up north. I hear there's a small town up north called Jericho that's always eager to get open minded doctors. So I think I'd fit in well there."

Then Max made a little smile as he said, "Well... you mind if I come live with you up there?" Then Alisha smirked as she said, "Max, you know what I've told you. I am not moving in with any man I love unless he's ready to ask for my hand in marriage." Then Max smirked as he said, "So you're saying you're ready and willing to move in with the man you love if he's ready to ask for your hand in marriage?" Then Alisha with a coy face said, "Well... does the man I've loved for the last year of my life want to ask for my hand in marriage?" Max looked a bit caught off guard as he said, "Well, I mean... it's not like I can ask it right now, since it's not like I carry a ring in my pocket every day just in case..." Then suddenly Max quickly took a ring box out of his pocket, opened it, and showed a diamond ring inside as he smiled and said, "Alisha... will you marry me?" A big smile went across Alisha's face as she kissed Max, and then said, "Yes Max. For now and forever I will!"

Chapter 11 - The Happiest Day

Max and Alisha were standing at a wedding alter before their friends and family. Max was in a black tuxedo, while Alisha wore a white dress. Alisha was reading her vows to Max as she said, "Max... you've always seen me as a strong woman worthy enough to be your partner. You've shown me nothing but respect, understanding, and devotion... and I promise I will try everyday to show you the same as your wife." Max then smiled as he went into his pocket, and then took out a few screws. Max then handed the screws to Alisha as he said, "Alisha... these screws... are apparently the missing pieces that I forgot to install into my new skateboard the day we met. However... if these pieces weren't missing from that board, I wouldn't have lost control on that sidewalk, and I wouldn't have been saved by the true missing piece of my life. Alisha... I promise that unlike my skateboard... I will forever cherish you and never forget about your needs." Then Max and Alisha kissed as everyone watching began to clap.

Chapter 13 - A Child is Born

Alisha laid in a hospital bed holding a newborn baby girl with very light brown skin. Max sat in a chair very close to Alisha as he smiled. As Alisha held the infant girl close to her chest she said, "My God Max... I can't believe it. You know... long ago I dreamed about this moment. I was so obsessed with playing mom with dolls when I was little, I think that's what inspired me to study to become an obstetrician. But despite all the studying and reading and dreaming I've done about giving birth... no amount of studying can really compare to how the real thing feels when it finally happens." Max smiled as he said, "You were so amazing Alisha... and our daughter... she looks so perfect. Now I know we had a shortlist of names in mind, but... I think I'll let you make the deciding vote." As Alisha looked at her newborn girl, she said, "Well I was thinking about maybe Valicity, or naming her after my sister Sydney. However... I think I'll name her after my favorite camp counselor. She was the first camp counselor I ever had who had flaws I could definitely see... but I always saw her trying to overcome them and be a better person. So I've decided we'll name our daughter... Megan Zeddemore Zimmerman... a name that to me at least means... imperfect girl that has a perfect place in Gods' plan."

An older female doctor then walked into the room and said, "How are the happy new parents doing?" Max smiled as he said, "Pretty good doc. You know when we came to visit my wife's uncle in Jericho, we were expecting to just bring home a souvenir. Instead, Alisha goes into premature labor, and now we get to come home with a new baby." Alisha smiled as she said, "Thank you again. Everyone at this hospital has been beyond amazing. As soon as I get my doctorate, I am totally moving here to work with you all." The female doctor smiled as she said, "I'm sure you'd be very welcomed here. Anyway, it's been quite the busy day for us all today. We literally had three children born in the same morning. That's pretty unusual for a small town." A curious Alisha then asked, "Oh. Two other families had children?" The female doctor turned her head and said, "No, just one. It was a local lesbian couple that gave birth to twin girls. Maybe you two should meet them considering all your kids were born on the same day in the same place." Alisha looked a bit hesitant as she said, "Um... that's fine. I'm sure it would just be a disruption to a couple that just brought twins into the world to suddenly meet some strange visitors from out of town." The female doctor then said, "Okay. But if you wanna meet them before you leave: the two mom's names are Enid and Wednesday."

Chapter 17 - First Week of First Grade

Alisha was holding the hand of her six year old daughter Megan as they walked into a public school together. A nervous Megan then said, "Can I come to work with you mommy instead of school?" Alisha chuckled, and then said, "No baby girl. You only got to miss school this morning because of your dentist appointment. But you still have to spend the rest of the day at school. Besides, you don't want to miss eating lunch with your friends, right?" Megan had a sad look on her face as she said, "But... none of the other kids want to have lunch with me." Alisha made a short sad sigh, and then said, "Megan... if you want to have friends, you have to try finding some yourself. You have to introduce yourself to the other kids in the cafeteria, and try talking about stuff with them." Then a curious Megan asked, "But... what if they all seem too busy to talk to me?" Then a smiling Alisha said, "Then find someone who isn't too busy. How about today: instead of feeling so alone... look for someone else who looks alone, and start talking to them." Megan sighed a bit, and then said, "Okay mommy."

Then Alisha led Megan to the school cafeteria, and then got down on her knees as she said, "Okay now. Daddy will pick you up this afternoon. Have a good rest of your day baby girl." Megan gave her mom a quick hug, and then walked into the cafeteria. As Megan walked through the cafeteria she saw many kids in groups talking with each other. However as Megan looked all around the room, she eventually saw one little blonde girl with long braids sitting by herself with a sad look in her eyes. Megan then sat down in front of the blonde girl as she said, "Can I sit with you?" The blonde girl looked a bit sad as she said, "I guess." Megan then kept a smile on her face as she said, "My name is Megan. What's yours?" The blonde girl then said, "I'm Harmony." Then a curious Megan asked, "Well Harmony... why are you sad?" Harmony sighed, and then said, "My twin sister Ana is in a different class than me this year, and has a different lunch period than me too. Ana and me used to do everything together, and I miss her." Megan with a sympathetic face said, "I know. My mommy is not home sometimes because she's busy being a doctor and taking my little brother to all these places to get tested. But even when she's not around, I know she still loves me... just like your sister still loves you when she's not around." Harmony made a little smile as she said, "Thanks. Hey! Wanna play at recess together!?" A very excited Megan then said, "Sure!"

Chapter 21 - A Halloween to Love

Nine year old Megan ran into a Halloween party at her school while wearing a dark cloak, and Ghost Face mask on her face. An old woman with white hair followed Megan into the party as she said, "Slow down noodle. I'm not as young as I used to be." An excited Megan then took her mask off as she said, "Come on grandma. I wanna find my best friend. We both decided to wear matching outfits for Halloween, and act out our Scream fanfiction story where two versions of Ghost Face attack Jenna Ortega's character at the same time." Megan's grandmother then curiously asked, "Do your parents know about this? I mean when I picked you up from their place, they told me you had a Princess Jasmine costume in your backpack." Megan suddenly looked nervous as she said, "Well... um..." Then Megan's grandmother giggled a bit, and then said, "Don't worry noddle. It'll be our secret."

Then suddenly Megan heard a young female voice say, "Do you like scary movies?" Then Megan turned around and saw someone her height wearing a black cloak and Ghost Face mask. Then that person took off their mask, revealing themselves to be Harmony. An excited Megan hugged Harmony as she said, "Hey there!" Then Megan's grandmother curiously asked, "Is this your best friend?" Then a smiling Megan said, "Oh yeah. Harmony, this is my grandma. Grandma, this is Harmony." Megan's grandmother then said, "Harmony, is it? You know Megan likes to draw a lot. And she often draws pictures of a girl that looks a lot like you." Suddenly Megan began to blush bright red as she mumbled, "Not now grandma!" Then Harmony smiled as she said, "Oh, I know Megan draws a lot. She gives me a new drawing every day, and I've got them all hanging in my room." Megan's grandmother made a warm smile as she said, "Aww, aren't you two so sweet." Then Harmony casually said, "Anyway, the stage is all set for our show. Now I just gotta figure out where Ana is..."

Then suddenly the girls heard a young voice scream, "What do you mean you don't have the doll you said was gonna be here!?" Then everyone saw Harmony's sister: Ana standing near a game prize booth in front of some adults, as she angerly held up a flyer while yelling, "The flyers for this event clearly showed if I got 500 prize tickets from the games tonight, I would win a Ballerina Barbie in her pretty pink too-too. So when I won my 500 prize tickets after whacking the whack-a-mole like no one has whacked before, I got so excited. But when I turn over my tickets, what do I actually get? MAL-I-BU BAR-BIE!" Then one of the adults behind the prize booth said, "Listen sweety. It's just a Barbie doll. They're all the same thing." Then fury entered Ana's eyes as she screamed, "All the same thing!? You have burned my dreams at this party tonight... so now I will burn this party!" Then Ana jumped on top of the table, and suddenly pulled out a flamethrower as she yelled, "Yippee-ki-yay mother fakers!" Then Ana immediately began shooting fire at all of the games and decorations around the room. As she did this, Ana smiled as she maniacally yelled, "Now I have a flame thrower! Ho, ho, ho!"

Then one adult in the room yelled, "Quick, pull the fire alarm!" Then a worried Harmony yelled, "Wait! We switched the water out for..." However before Harmony could finish her sentence, the fire alarm was pulled... and red liquid began to shoot out from the sprinklers. Very quickly the fire was put out; however many people began to scream and run out of the room. Harmony then called out, "Don't worry! It's not blood! It's just water with red food coloring! Uggh. No one is listening." Then a curious Megan asked, "Did you do this?" Then Harmony sighed and said, "Yeah. It was gonna be a fun prank to end the evening. But I didn't wanna do it until after the dance was over. Now I won't get to dance with anyone tonight." Then a smiling Megan said, "Well... wanna dance with me right now?" Then a very happy Harmony's face lit up as she said, "Really!? Sure!" Then Harmony and Megan held each other's hands, and then began to do an over the top ballroom dance together. As the two danced: red colored water continued to shoot out of the sprinklers, and many people were still screaming and running out of the room; all the while the sound of police sirens coming towards the building could be heard. However despite all the chaos around her, all Megan could focus on was Harmony dancing before her. As the two girls danced, their eyes soon became completely locked together... and all they could do was smile as they looked at one another.

However eventually Ana ran over to Harmony and pulled on her arm as she said, "Harmony, it's the fuzz. Grandma and Grandpa say we should probably head out now." Harmony looked a bit disappointed as she said, "Oh, okay. Bye Megan!" Megan looked like she was in a trance as she remained still and simply waved to Harmony as she left. After a moment, Megan's grandmother walked over to Megan while saying, "Well you certainly have quite the adorable crush." Megan instantly blushed and looked nervous as she said, "What!? I... I never said that..." Megan's grandmother chuckled, and then said, "All I know is that during the entire time this room was lit on fire, doused in red rain, and surrounded in mass chaos... all you could do was keep your eyes on Harmony. You know when one person is that hyper focused on a supposed friend of theirs... it's usually a sign of a little four letter word that starts with 'L'." Megan began to look very guilty as she said, "You... you won't tell mom and dad will you?" Megan's grandmother then put an arm around Megan as she said, "It's be our little secret noodle. You come out and say who you like and who you are whenever you are ready." Megan then looked a bit nervous... but also grateful as she hugged her grandmother.

Chapter 24 - A Pain Like No Other

Megan and Harmony were sitting in their art class together as Harmony was drawing a picture. As Megan looked at the picture, she looked very confused as she said, "Harmony... why are you drawing a picture of us in wedding dresses, and why do I look so tall in the picture?" A smiling Harmony then said, "Oh, that's not you. That's Miss Rocki." A more confused Megan then said, "Wait. You mean our student teacher?" Harmony sighed, and then said, "Yeah. She's so nice and beautiful. Don't you think?" A look of pain then went across Megan's face as she said, "Yeah. Um... excuse me. I have to use the bathroom." Then Megan left the room, while Harmony finished her picture as she said, "The future Mrs and Mrs Harmony and Rocki Addams. Perfect."

Then as the bell ran, an upset Megan quickly walked out of the school and into the parking lot where her grandmother was waiting for her. Tears appeared in Megan's eyes, as Megan's grandmother said, "Noodle, what's wrong?" Megan tried to look brave as she said, "Harmony... she... she doesn't like me. She... she likes our student teacher instead." Megan's grandmother made a warm smile as she said, "Megan... lots of girls have crushes on a teacher at one point in their life. But that teacher isn't Harmony's best friend. You are. Besides... if you've never told Harmony how you felt, she may never question if she feels the same way." Megan then noticed Harmony walking out of the school, and walking towards another part of the school parking lot. Megan then began to walk away from her grandmother as she said, "Excuse me grandma. I'll be right back."

Megan then walked over, and stood behind a car as she watched Harmony approach the student teacher: Rocki. An excited Harmony waved as she said, "Hey Rocki!" Rocki looked at Harmony as she said, "Oh, hey there Harmony." Harmony then looked slightly nervous as she said, "Um... Rocki... there's something I wanna tell you." A curious Rocki then said, "Yeah, sure. What is it?" Then Harmony got down on one knee, held up a ring pop and said, "Will you marry me?" A very confused Rocki then said, "What?"

Then suddenly a young man stepped out of a nearby car and walked over to Rocki as he said, "Hey babe." A confused Harmony then said, "Huh? Who is this?" Then a slightly nervous Rocki said, "Oh. Well... you see Harmony... this is my boyfriend Ralph. We met on the college campus we attend. Ralph, this is Harmony: one of my students and also one of the girls I babysit." The young man waved his hand as he said, "What's up kiddo?" Harmony suddenly looked devastated as she said, "Um... I... I need to go home now." A concerned Rocki then said, "Do you wanna talk first?" Harmony quickly turned her head as she said, "No." Then Harmony turned away as tears appeared in her eyes, and then she ran off.

Megan, who had watched the entire scene play out, then chased after Harmony. Harmony then turned and saw Megan was behind her. Harmony stopped as she said, "Megan?" An empathetic Megan then said, "Harmony... I'm sorry, but I saw what happened, and..." More tears then appeared in Harmony's eyes as she suddenly began to cry. Megan then reached out and hugged Harmony. As Harmony cried, she said, "I'm never gonna fall in love and ever be happy." Then as Megan held Harmony close, she said, "You will Harmony. I promise you will."

The next morning in the school, as Megan was just walking through the front door - a teacher approached her while saying, "Oh, Megan. Can you deliver this folder to Mrs Tabbit's classroom." A slightly reluctant Megan then said, "But... I really want to get to class so I can see Harmony... and all my other friends." The teacher then simply said, "It'll only take a few minutes." Megan groaned as she accepted a folder from the teacher, and then walked down the hallway. Megan then walked into a classroom as she approached a female teacher while saying, "Mrs Daniels wanted me to give this to you." The female teacher smiled as she said, "Why thank you Megan. Anyway, the bell is about to ring, so you best be off to your own..." Then suddenly... the sound of a gun shot in the hallway was heard.

Everyone froze and looked shocked. Then another gun shot sound was heard, followed by tons of screaming in the hallway. The female teacher moved fast, and locked the door to the classroom as she said, "Everyone, to the corner quick!" Megan and all of the other students began to move to a corner of the classroom, as a scared looking Megan said, "What about Harmony? I have to make sure Harmony is okay." As an alarm sound could suddenly be heard coming from speakers throughout the school, the female teacher immediately pulled the blinds down on the classroom windows while saying, "Quiet Megan. You can't go into the hallway now." More screams were heard in the hallway, while all of the students in the classroom began to look more frightened. The female teacher then moved a large desk in front of the door to the classroom as a scared Megan said, "But... I don't know if Harmony got to class. She could..." Then the female teacher cut Megan off as she angerly whispered, "Megan, just be quiet!" Megan then fell to the ground and curled up into a ball... as she began to quietly cry.

Two hours later, police and teachers were helping escort many students over to parents waiting in the parking lot. Megan stepped out of the school looking around as she said, "Where's Harmony?" Then suddenly Megan heard her mother yell, "Megan!" Then Megan turned her head and saw her parents: Max and Alisha running towards her. Max and Alisha then got on the ground and immediately hugged Megan. Tears were in Alisha's eyes as she said, "Oh baby girl. I'm so glad you're okay." As Megan kept looking around the parking lot, she said, "But I..." Then Max put a hand on Megan's shoulder as he said, "Don't worry. The police said no one was hurt. It was just a kid trying to scare someone he was being bullied by. His gun was found, and that kid is going to be in big trouble. But the point is everyone is safe."

Then Megan finally spotted Harmony who was walking through the parking lot with Ana. Then Megan suddenly spotted Harmony and Ana's mother: Enid running over to her girls and immediately hugging them. A frantic Megan then said, "I need to see my friend, who..." Then Alisha took Megan's hand as she said, "You'll see them in school next week. For now... lets just go pick up your brother from his school, and then spend the rest of the day at home as a family." As Megan was pulled away by her mother, she kept her eyes on Harmony as she longingly watched her.

Chapter 25 - A Heart in Pain

Ten year old Megan laid curled up in her bed in the middle of the day with a sad look on her face. Max then walked into the room and sat on the bed as he said, "Hey sweety. You doing okay?" Megan made a sad sigh, and then said, "Yeah." Max then sighed as well, followed by saying, "Look... I know me and your mother aren't around home often now because of our work... but I was hoping we could spend my day off today catching up on how you're doing. So... if you're not okay... you can talk to me about it. Is it something to do with school right now?" Then Megan closed her eyes as she said, "More like what's not at school right now." Max seemed confused, as he stood up and prepared to leave the room. However Max eventually stopped, and then looked back at Megan as he said, "Wanna get some ice cream?" Megan then made a small smile as she sat up and said, "Okay."

An hour later, Max and Megan were sitting at a picnic table near an ice cream store. As the two sat together with ice cream cones in their hands, Max said, "So... you ever gonna tell me what's actually bothering you?" Megan sat nervous and silent as she continued to eat her ice cream. Max sighed, and then said, "If it really has nothing to do with anyone being hurt.. then I'll be patient and wait for you tell me about whatever it is. Just know whatever happens... I love you sweety." Megan smiled, and then quickly hugged Max. Then Max handed Megan some money as he said, "So for now... go drown your sorrows in more ice cream." Megan smirked as she walked back towards the ice cream store. However just as Megan turned a corner, she saw Harmony walking her way. Megan immediately smiled as she said, "Harmony?" A surprised Harmony then said, "Megan? Is that you?" Megan looked very happy now as she said, "Yeah! Oh my gosh Harmony, I've missed you. Where have you been?"

Harmony then casually said, "Oh. Well my moms have been home-schooling me." Megan nodded her head and said, "Yeah, I hear ya. But... I've missed you. I mean... we ate lunch together at school for years, and now... it's been sad not having you around." Then Harmony looked a little uncertain as she said, "Well... if you want... I could ask my moms to bring me here next Saturday, and we could have lunch together then." Megan made an excited smile as she said, "Really? Wow! It's a date then." Then Megan leaned in and kissed Harmony on the cheek. Harmony's face instantly blushed bright red, as Megan bit her lip slightly while making a big happy smile. Then a super excited Megan crossed her hands while grinning as she walked away. Then as Megan turned the corner and walked towards Max, Max immediately noticed Megan's smile as he said, "So what brought on that smile?" Megan with a joyful expression said, "Nothing. Umm... dad... is it okay if I come back here by myself next week?"

Chapter 27 - Acceptance

Max was sitting in the living room reading a book, as Alisha walked in. Max then looked at Alisha as he said, "Is Edward finally sleeping?" Alisha nodded her head as she sat down and said, "Yes." Max took a deep breath, and then said, "So now that we have a real moment to talk... you wanna tell me what's bothering you? Your face is practically screaming you've got something on your mind." Alisha looked down as she said, "I... I lost my temper with Megan today. I yelled at our daughter... and I've never yelled at her before. What is going on with me Max? Megan just hit puberty a few months ago. She should be the one having crazy emotional outbursts right now. Not me! Uggh. Oh God, why did I do it!?" Then Max simply said, "Well, first Alisha... you only lose your temper when you're fighting for what's right. So, the real question is... when Megan introduced us today to the girl she says that she wants to be her girlfriend... why did you feel that wasn't right?"

Alisha sighed, and then said, "It's just... I don't want her life to be so... burdened. It's difficult enough with the looks we get from people when they see we have a son with Down Syndrome. Somehow they think we did something wrong. And... despite how light her skin is, Megan still has to live in a country where being any shade of brown somehow brings her shame from one too many people. I... I don't want her to be a target of yet more hate groups out there. We've worked too hard to give her a better life." Then Max, with a sympathetic tone to his voice said, "Alisha... I think you forget... you feel like our daughter is an outcast... but we actually live in a town full of many people that are literally called outcasts... and they're some of the strongest and kindest people we've ever met." Suddenly the two heard the door open, and then Megan walked into the house. Megan stopped to look at her parents, and then her parents looked at her.

Megan took a deep breath, and then said, "Hi mom. Hi dad." Max then said, "Megan. Um... how was your day?" Megan looked away slightly as she said, "Okay, I guess. Me and Harmony broke up." Max looked a bit sad as he said, "Well, Megan... I'm sorry." Then Megan looked right at her parents as she said, "Actually it was Harmony's idea. You see she knows from her family how hard it is to be different. She knows because she has two moms that explained how difficult life was for them growing up." Then Alisha with a sympathetic tone to her voice said, "Well... I'm glad you understand now." Megan then kept her eyes focused straight at her parents as she said, "Yeah. Harmony told me how her mother Wednesday was always treated like a freak for having psychic visions, and for always dressing in a way that made her look different. Meanwhile, Harmony's other mom: Enid had to deal with her family judging her not marrying a werewolf like her. Plus, Harmony's family which includes a zombie butler, and a living hand has had to deal with plenty of people calling them freaks and monsters over the years. So Harmony and her family get what's it like to be judged and looked down upon for being different... which is why Harmony decided to not make things even harder for me. Anyway... later..." Then Megan left the room, as Max and Alisha began to have looks of guilt on their faces.

Alisha then covered her face as she said, "Oh God Max... what have I become?" Max then calmly said, "Well... it's natural to be resistant to new ideas. However... we raised our daughter to make smart decisions, and always consider how the consequences to her choices affect others... which it sounds like she was really trying to do just now. However... if we insult Megan's decision in who to love... are we not insulting ourselves? I mean... did we not teach her how to love, and what true love is by example?" A few tears then appeared in Alisha's eyes. Then Max moved over to Alisha and hugged her. After a long moment of hugging, Alisha then said, "Max... do you have the number to this Harmony girl? I... I think it's time we invite over... our daughter's new girlfriend."

Chapter 28.5 - First Kiss

Eleven year old Megan and Harmony sat together on a bench in the park. As the two preteen girls looked at the sun beginning to set far away, a smiling Harmony said, "So Megan... we've been dating for exactly one year now." Then a smiling Megan said, "Yes, we have..." Then the two girls turned their heads to look at one another as Harmony said, "And we've been best friends for even longer than that..." Megan nodded her head as she said, "This is true." Then Harmony reached out and touched Megan's hand as she said, "Megan?" Megan kept smiling as she said, "Yes?" Then Harmony scooted as close as she could to Megan as she said, "Can... can I kiss you?" Megan leaned her head forward as she said, "Well, all I have to say is... what took you so long to ask?" Then the two eleven year old girls moved their faces forward... and had their first kiss with one another.

Chapter 33 - The First Time

Fifteen year old Megan was rushing up the stairs of her house as she said, "Mom, I have to be back at Nevermore Academy in an hour if I don't want to miss the bus for our big trip, but I can't find my extra clothes bag! You know where it is?" Then Megan walked into her bedroom to see her mother Alisha standing with a bag in her hand... and an angry look in her eyes. A nervous looking Megan then said, "Oh... there it is. Um... everything okay mom?" An angry Alisha then said, "Is everything okay with you Megan? If it is, then please explain why when I looked in your backpack, I found water based lubricants, dental dams, a vibrator, and a book titled: How to Have Safe Lesbian Sex. You care to explain how these got here!?" A nervous Megan then said, "Well... grandma gave them to me." A frustrated Alisha then said, "My God, when I get a hold of her... That's not the point. The real question is: why are these here in a backpack you plan to take with you on a weekend trip!?" Then Megan backed up slightly as she said, "Look, to be clear: me and Harmony have never had sex." Then an annoyed Alisha said, "But you were planning to change that this weekend, weren't you!?"

Then a frustrated Megan said, "My God mom, I'm a freaking teenager! You never believed thoughts about sex wouldn't enter my head!? Look... to be clear, I am not planning to do anything Harmony isn't 100 percent comfortable doing, or anything I'm not 100 percent comfortable doing. I've been thinking hard about this for months now! That's why I asked grandma to get me that stuff you see in that bag, and also why she took me to the doctor to have me tested for any stuff that could harm me or my girlfriend if I decide to go all the way with her. For Christ's sake, I'm trying to be a responsible young woman like you taught me to!" Alisha looked a bit caught off guard, as she found herself sitting down on Megan's bed. Alisha then looked down as she had a look of confusion and anxiety go across her face. Megan meanwhile stood at the door of her room with a nervous and sad look in her eyes. Alisha then finally stood up again, took a few steps forward... and then handed Megan her backpack as she said, "As your mother... I think you're too young for this. However as a fellow woman... I respect your desire to be as responsible and careful as possible." Megan accepted her backpack from her mother, and then said, "Thank you."

That evening, Alisha and Max were standing outside their house looking at the night sky together. As the two looked up, Max curiously asked, "What are you thinking about?" Alisha sighed, and then said, "What Megan is doing right now... and who she's possibly doing right now. Uggh. Max... I shouldn't have let Megan go on that trip. At the first chance she gets, she's going to..." Then Max cut Alisha off as he said, "Show the girl she's loved for the last ten years how much she loves her? You know... I'm surprised we were able to hold back our hormones for the entire first year we knew each other." Then a frustrated Alisha said, "But... she's too young to know what she's doing Max!" Max sighed, and then said, "Maybe... but weren't we too young once as well? Alisha... we've taught Megan how to be responsible... and also how to bounce back if she accidentally finds herself going down the wrong path. Also... she's at that age where we need to start letting go." Alisha sighed... and then hugged Max as she said, "Don't let go of me though." Max then hugged Alisha back as he said, "Never." Then as Max held Alisha, he began to make a big smile. Alisha noticed this as she said, "What?" Then Max chuckled and said, "Nothing. It's just.. you are nothing short of perfectly beautiful Alisha." Alisha smiled, and then she and Max kissed one another.

In a hotel room, Harmony and Megan stood before one another completely naked, as a nervous Harmony said, "Do I look nice?" Megan made a big smile as she said, "Harmony... you are nothing short of perfectly beautiful. Now hold on. Let me put this beautiful corsage on a shelf, so it doesn't get damaged." Megan then took off a corsage she had on, and placed it on a shelf over the nearby bed. As this occurred, Harmony giggled a bit. Megan turned to look at Harmony while saying, "What?" Harmony sighed as she said, "It's just... right now... you look nothing short of perfectly beautiful as well." Megan made a happy smile as she moved her body back towards Harmony. After some time passed, the two eventually put their hands on one another as they looked into each other's eyes. Soon the two held each other very close as they kissed one another, and had their hands touch every area of the others' body; from their hair, to their hips, to their legs... and finally to their respective lover's womanhood. Within moments, the two teenage girls lost their virginity to one another as they began explore and pleasure one another in the deepest and most powerful way possible.

The next morning, a naked Megan slowly opened her eyes; with the first sight in front of her being a naked Harmony. As Harmony laid on her side, she had a big smile on her face while saying, "Hey." Megan simply gazed at her girlfriend as she said, "Hey." Then a happy Harmony said, "So... last night... that... that was the most wonderful, magical, and powerful experience of my life. I love you so much Megan." A very happy Megan then said, "I love you too Harmony." Then both teenage girls reached over and hugged one another. As the two then laid together in bed together, Harmony said, "Mmm. I don't want this moment to end." Then a slightly worried Megan said, "Well... it sort of has to... because if we don't leave this hotel room in the next hour: our chaperone, AKA your mom, will come looking for us." Harmony groaned, and then said, "I know. Still... from now on, we are so gonna do this every day we are together." Then a curious Megan asked, "How long you think we can keep that up?" Then as Harmony stood up, she turned just her head (so Megan could take a good long look at her butt), while saying, "You'll see. Anyway, I call shower first." Then Harmony walked into the bathroom, while a smiling Megan just watched Harmony go into the bathroom... and made a happy sigh...

Chapter 44 - The Next Stage

Max and Alisha were sitting at the dinner table of their home, while also sitting with them were: Harmony, Megan, and Megan's brother: Edward. As the five were eating, Megan looked at Edward as she said, "So how was summer camp today Edward?" Edward smiled as he said, "I kick soccer ball real good! When soccer ball hit net, everyone shouted GOOOOOAAAAAAL!" Megan chuckled as she said, "Good for you bro." Max smiled as he said, "Edward's been really improving in his soccer and track skills. He was upset you missed his track meet last week." Harmony then began to look a bit guilty as she said, "I'm sorry Mister and Mrs Zimmerman. When I asked Megan to spend another week at my grandparents' place, I didn't know about Edward's event. Speaking of events, I have to go prepare for my lifeguard test tomorrow. I'm only getting my certification for a one week job I'm doing before school starts again, but I figured I could learn some real good skills." Then a smiling Megan said, "Oh, well I'll go to your place and help you study." Then Alisha began to look a bit upset as she said, "Megan, you've been gone for weeks and are about to be away again for your upcoming semester at Nevermore. Have you thought about spending some more time with your family?"

Then an uncomfortable looking Harmony said, "I don't wanna be the cause of any drama. Besides, I need some alone time for this studying. Plus, the test is gonna take up all my time tomorrow so I need to get to bed early too." Megan sighed, and then said, "Okay. Well... I'll hang out near the testing place tomorrow and maybe we can have lunch in between all the testing." Harmony chuckled as she said, "That's sweet, but I'll be okay. Hey, if you're bored though - Ana and her cat are throwing a wild dance party at the rec center... and knowing that Ana is running the party probably means it's gonna be wild." Then an excited Edward said, "Party with Ana! I wanna go and dance!" Then a happy Max said, "Well that sounds like a nice plan to me." Harmony smiled as she said, "Cool. See ya later."

Then as Harmony began to leave the house, Megan followed her out of the kitchen looking frantic as she said, "Harmony, I... I don't wanna do anything tomorrow without you." Now standing away from the rest of Megan's family, Harmony looked confused as she said, "Megan, what's wrong? You can spend a day without me." Megan began to look upset as she said, "But... I... I don't like it when I do." Harmony then began to look confused as she said, "Megan... I'm starting to feel concerned you. I... I've never asked you this Megan, because I never wanted you to feel like I was accusing you of something, but... why do you almost never talk to anyone else or do anything with anyone else when I'm not around? I mean unless your parents force you to go on a vacation or a missions trip with them... you're always with me. Even when we're with my family, you barely talk to or interact one on one with my sister or moms without me being nearby. Why is that?" Megan began to look very upset as she said, "Because... I don't want to be far from you Harmony, or focus on anyone else... because I'm worried I'll lose you." Harmony looked concerned (but still confused) as she said, "Lose me? Why would you think that?"

A few tears appeared in Megan's eyes as she said, "When... when that gun went off at school back when we were nine years old... I was so worried about you. I was so scared you were hurt or worse. I... I thought I was never going to see you again. All it took was me doing something else without you for just a few minutes for us to be suddenly separated for what felt like an eternity. Then of course there was that time I was kidnapped by that creepy woman who looked like your mother, and considering how dangerous our world is becoming... I'm just more worried than ever now that if I leave you and focus on someone else for just a few minutes... something really bad could happen again... like maybe our luck finally running out, and I might lose you forever." A look of sympathy went across Harmony's face as she said, "Oh Megan..." Then Harmony reached out and hugged Megan. Megan began to cry a bit as she hugged Harmony back.

Eventually Harmony let go of Megan, and looked into her eyes as she said, "Look... I personally love how completely devoted you are to me, and it is honestly kind of hot how you've made the center of your universe. However... bad things are gonna happen to us whether we're in the same room or not. Also... as much as I want to be the only thing on your mind... we were all put on this Earth for more than just that special somebody we love. I mean there's all our other friends... and our families... most notably: your family." Megan looked down, sighed, and then calmly said, "Yeah... you're right." Harmony then put her hands on Megan's shoulders as she said, "Look... I still want us to spend almost every day together, and do almost everything in our lives together... but I don't want you leave out the other things that are important as well." Megan nodded her head, and then hugged Harmony again as she said, "Okay Harmony." Harmony hugged Megan back for a moment... and then let go as she said, "I'll call you tomorrow night." Then Harmony left the house.

Megan then went back to sit down at the dinner table with the rest of her family. Edward then looked at Megan as he said, "We gonna dance tomorrow sissy?" Megan then looked at her brother silently for a moment, as she noticed the excited look in his eyes. Megan then looked at Edward with a few tears in her eyes as she said, "Yes Edward. We'll dance tomorrow, and do a lot of other stuff together as well. Also... I'm sorry I don't spend enough time with you bro. I'm so sorry." Then Edward smiled as he said, "That's okay sissy." Megan turned her head as she said, "No, it's not. You're my brother... and even though we're supposed to spend more time apart as we get older... I still should be spending more time with you than I have been. But... maybe we should change that." Max and Alisha then looked confused as Max said, "Megan, what are you talking about?" Megan then looked at her parents as she said, "Mom... dad... I think I would like to spend some time with my brother this fall... at Nevermore Academy."

Chapter 56 - The Proposal

Max and Alisha were having dinner in the kitchen when suddenly the two heard the door open. Megan and her brother Edward then walked into the kitchen, as a smiling Megan said, "Hey. We're home!" Max and Alisha then stood up and immediately hugged their kids. As Max ruffled up Edward's hair he said, "So kids, how's Nevermore Academy been treating you both?" A smiling Edward then said, "Fun! Make paaaancakes every day!" Megan chuckled as she said, "He's doing really great in the school restaurant." Max then gave Edward a quick hug as he said, "Good for you Edward. Real proud of you son." Then as everyone sat down together, Megan said, "Well... now that we're all together, I... I just wanted to tell you some really big news. You see... I..." Then Alisha smiled as she said, "You and Harmony are getting married." Megan suddenly looked shocked as she said, "What!? How did you know!?" With a smile on his face, Max said, "Megan... Harmony called and asked us for our blessing." Megan looked surprised... but also happy as she said, "She did?"

Alisha however had a calm but stern face as she said, "Now even though we both think you're a bit too young to be considering this... we both know that Harmony has brought you happiness and a sense of peace and fulfillment no one else in the world could ever bring you." Then Max smiled as he said, "Harmony is clearly the missing piece in your life... and trust me, when I say I can understand the importance of finding those missing pieces one needs in their life. So... as long as you both go see a good marriage counselor before the wedding... you both have our support." A few happy tears appeared in Megan's eyes as she said, "Thank you mom. Thank you dad." Then Megan turned to look at Edward as she said, "You hear that Edward. I'm getting married. Harmony is gonna be your new sister in law." An excited Edward then said, "Harmony gonna be my new sissy!? Yay!" Then Megan smiled as she and her entire family got up and hugged one another.

THE END

...

...or maybe not...

EPILOGUE - Present Day:

Harmony and Megan were laying naked together in bed. Megan then slowly opened her eyes and saw the back of Harmony's head. Megan then made a happy smile as she said, "Mmm. Last night was so amazing babe. I slept so well after we finished. How about you?" Then Harmony turned her head to look at Megan, and showed she had a sad look in her eyes while saying, "I didn't sleep so well. I... I had a really bad dream." A concerned Megan then asked, "About what?" A troubled Harmony then said, "I... I saw a dark figure in a cloak, and I also saw my mother... and she looked like she was in really bad trouble... and was in a really, really bad place. Then I heard a weird voice taunting her, and... Megan, I think I had a vision of the future. I think I saw my mother's future. I think something really bad is gonna happen to her one day not long from now." Then Megan touched Harmony's hand as she said, "Or it could be just a dream you had. You know, those are still things that can happen to you." Harmony looked down, sighed, and then said, "Well... lets hope so..."
