Morticia laid in bed even though everyone else was eating dinner. Morticia wished she was downstairs eating dinner with the family and the Munsters who have been so kind to them as to let them stay with them for a while. Also they were having fried frog legs tonight and chocolate covered caviar for dessert, one of Morticia's favorite foods. Just the smell coming from downstairs made Morticia's stomach growled furiously. She hasn't eaten anything since lunch and suddenly lost her appetite which was a common anxiety symptom. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Morticia?"
Morticia recognized that voice, it was Lily.
"Yes?" Morticia asked.
"There's a movie playing in the theater tonight, would you like to go see it with us after dinner?" Lily asked.
"What movie is playing?" Morticia asked.
"The Wolfman From Down Under." Lily answered.
"Under where?" Morticia asked. Herman walked by and snickered.
"She said underwear." Herman laughed his signature hearty laugh.
"Herman!" Lily exclaimed.
"Sorry...." Herman said covering his mouth to prevent himself from snickering as he walked away from the guest room. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Forgive my husband, I love him, but he's the biggest galoufa anyone would ever meet." Lily said. Morticia chuckled a little at this.
"At least I got you to cheer up a bit." Lily said.
"An Addams is never 'cheery'." Morticia said.
"Well, with all that aside, would you like to go see the movie with us, or not?" Lily asked.
"No thank you." Morticia answered.
"Morticia, you have been like this for three days! Please, do yourself a favor, and DO SOMETHING!" Lily exclaimed.
"I'm sorry...."Morticia said. "But sometimes even ad Addams can-"
"Gomez!" Lily called. Gomez races up the stairs and into the guest room.
"She's right Tish, you're going to see this movie and because you skipped dinner, you're going to eat something there." Gomez said.
"Such as?" Morticia asked. "Those movie theaters don't have anything delicious."
"They have popcorn!" Gomez exclaimed.
"Oh." Morticia said.
"That settles it, we're all going to see the movie and Morticia, you're getting the biggest bag of popcorn possible since you didn't eat your dinner." Gomez said walking over to his wife and carrying her out of bed and into the living room. Morticia groaned. Normally she'd enjoy seeing a werewolf movie, but she's hasn't been feeling herself lately.
"Lily, which car are we taking?" Gomez asked.
"I think we'll have to take separate cars since everyone couldn't possibly fit in one car." Lily answered.
"Very well, I'll have Lurch start our car." Gomez said. "Lurch!"
"You called?" Lurch asked entering the living room.
"Yes Lurch, can you please start the car and take us to the theater?" Gomez asked.
"Yes, Mr. Addams." Lurch answered.
"Thank you, Lurch." Gomez said. Lurch bowed and walked out to the car to get the car ready. The Addams family piled into the car and the Munsters got into their car so they can follow them to the theater.
"Alright, Lurch." Gomez said. Lurch started the car and the car sounded off with its signature *BOOM!*
The Munster's car got blasted with smoke and Herman was coughing up soot. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Oh, come now Herman we haven't go all night!" Lily exclaimed. Herman coughed up the last of the soot and started the car and drove to the theater.

Everyone got out of their cars and walked into the cold fall air and into the theater. The usher looked at both families in bewilderment. He had never seen families like these in his life.
"H-how may I help you?" The usher asked.
"Twelve tickets to see 'The Wolfman from Down Under please." Herman said. The usher handed Herman the twelve tickets.
"Enjoy the show." The usher said. As soon as the families went into the theater, the usher ran as fast as he could to his car and drove off not caring about the speed limit.

"May I have a bucket of popcorn?" Gomez asked handing the cashier the money. The cashier fixed the popcorn and handed the bucket to Gomez. "Oh, and could I please get a water?" Gomez asked. The cashier handed Gomez a water and he paid for it. "Here, Tish." Gomez said, handing her the bucket.
"But shouldn't I share with everyone else?" Morticia asked.
"We'll get our own, you certainly could stand for a big bucket." Gomez said. Morticia wanted to protest, but she was quite famished. She dug into the popcorn and began to eat away at it. This pleased Gomez since she's eaten so little of her meals. She deserved to get a break from worrying, and spending time with her family and friends was the perfect way to distract her from her paranoia.
They walked into the theater and to their surprise, no too many people were there. Usually, a lot of people came to these motion pictures.
"Excuse us." Herman said leading everyone to their seats. Everyone took their seats and began digging into their popcorn and drinks. On the screen the werewolf came out form under a bridge and began chasing after a woman who just so happened to wonder in the woods. The woman screamed for help but it didn't do any good. The Wolfman grabbed her dress and began to attack her with his claws when....
A man and a young woman in a mask tapped Morticia on the shoulder. Morticia turned to them.
"Yes?"
"Can you please, help us?" The girl asked. "We've seemed to have lost our dragon."
"Oh dear that must be distressing!" Morticia said.
"SHH!!" The theater audience said.
"Yes, it's been very hard on my....husband and I." The girl said.
"Anything for a dragon lover." Morticia said. The girl and the boy lead Morticia out of the theater and outside.
"Now, where shall we look f-" Morticia was cut off by someone hitting her over her head with a blunt instrument.
"Put her in the trunk." A masculine voice ordered. The two threw Morticia in the trunk as ordered and the man drove off with Morticia in the trunk. The man was revealed to be Lionel Barker and his new cronies were revealed to be a boy named Andrew and his girlfriend Lisa.
"What are we to do with her when we get back to the house?" Lisa asked.
"Whatever I say." Lionel said.
"Why can't WE ever have a say in anything?" Andrew asked.
"Because I'm the boss and you do what I tell you!" Lionel barked.
"His last name's Barker for a reason." Andrew whispered to Lisa.
"Trust me you two, the plans I have in store for Mrs. Addams are rather extraordinary....."
