"Only one can dream," Andy muttered.
Xavier cracked another smile. "I don't know. But we were ten, Andy was nine, and we were bored, so we decided to play hide and seek. I had the inspired idea to hide in bed casket. I got stuck as it was headed to the crematorium." 
Wednesday slowly smiled as she remembered. "I'd heard muffle screams. I just figured your godmother had somehow cheated death and was trying to claw her way out,"
"I was the one that convinced her that that was impossible and told her to hit the button," added Andy.
"And it saved me from being flame boiled. So. . . now we're even."
She smiled while Wednesday simply stared at him.












Andy was lying in bed with Frankenstein in her hands when she heard a light ran on the door. "Come in!" There was no response and she looked up from her book. Kennedy stepped out to get snacks, a regular thing that she did even though it wasn't allowed. "Come in!"
Still no reponse:
Andy huffed and climbed out of bed. "Wednesday, if that's you, I'm going to be mad—" when she opened the door, there was nobody there, and she was confused until she felt a top on her foot. Andy looked down and gasped. "Thing!"
"Mother and father apparently sent him to spy on us,"  Wednesday appeared, making her sister jump.
"Of course they did," said Andy and she picked Thing up from the floor, smiling at him.
"Not to worry, dear sister. I've already made him pledge his undying loyalty to us." Wednesday said while smiling sinister at the hand.
Andy's eyes widened. "You did?" She asked the hand, Thing wiggling with his fingers as a form of agreement.
Wednesday walked into her room and Andy closed the door. She put Thing back on the floor and he scurried around. "Our first order of business is to escape this teenage purgatory." 
Andy sat criss crossed on her bed. "It's really not that bad."
The older sister stared at her blankly. "Of course you think that.  You haven't spoken to anyone yet. . .where's your roommate?" 
"She's a midnight snacker," Andy answered impassively. "So what's your plan, exactly?"
"Tomorrow is our therapy session. After yours is over, I'll make an excuse to leave and meet you and then we'll sneak away."
It wasn't a well thought out plan which made her nervous. "I don't know,  Wednesday." 
Wednesday rolled her eyes. "Don't be weak,nAndromeda. It's not a good look on you. If you don't want to go then that's your decision. But just know if you stay, it'll be disgraceful to me."
This is when Andy felt conflicted with Wednesday. Her ultimatums always put her in an uncomfortable position. She loved her sister, that was obvious, but Andy saw things differently than she did. She didn't see things dark and gloomy.  She saw opportunities for her to try new things and to explore a new part of herself. Even though Nevermore was a reminder that she was different, she was surrounded by people that felt the same way. They were outcasts.
But at the end of the day, they were sisters and Andy would always be on Wednesday's side. "Okay. I'm in."
Wednesday grinned at her accomplishment.














The car ride to Jericho was completely silent. Andy sat in the backseat of Principal Weems's van while Wednesday sat up front. When they passed through Jericho, Andy stared out the window at all the people that were walking outside. It was a small town. A cute town., like the town in Practical Magic. Andy always thought small towns were cute.
