A very short one-shot taking place after the Chipewa play during the Addams Family Values movie. 3rd Person POV. Semi-Joel/Wednesday, T for language and Addams-ness. Changed the title to comply to FF Guidelines.

The Queen of the Damned

Wednesday Addams stared down her blond nemesis. She grinned slightly, sadistically, at her as she pulled a small bundle of matches from the back of her head. It was held there with her Indian feather by a small leather band.

She lit the matches by running it against the coarse material of her dress and let it drop onto the wood that lay at the girl's feet as her screams filled the air. Wednesday turned, pleased with the sounds of torture that she heard as her braids swung around her. Her dark eyes met those Joel Glicker's as he walked back to the stage after leading his group on an attack against the adults. Not a single parent was left on the property. The Counselors were being prepped for roasting.

The Outcasts had won. Wednesday and Joel had led them in their crusade. Pugsley was sitting with some of those that had finished their work, waiting for the roasted counselor dinner that would follow.

Joel grinned shyly at her, pushing his glasses up his painted face nervously. "Would you like to go for a canoe ride Wednesday?" Joel asked anxiously, smiling at her. Wednesday was not overly surprised that he had gotten that out without needing his inhaler, but it was quite a feat she knew. Wednesday nodded her agreement and took his offered hand as she stepped down the steps of the stage.

He did not let ago until he had escorted her to the front of the canoe. Joel took his place in back and began to paddle across the lake. It would not be long before she had to go, to save her uncle. He would have to stay behind, to lead the outcast army should anything else happen. So they stayed in peaceful quiet as the mayhem continued on shore, the chaos they created being controlled by their soldiers.

The Queen and her Loyal Servant was what Wednesday decided they were that moment. Perhaps she would make him her king one day, but for now she was content with this. Joel was making progress, quite a bit actually, but he would not fit in with the Addams family just yet. Wednesday nodded to herself as she thought this, and then she turned stiffly to Joel, "Tell me, what would you say I am right now?"

Joel seemed baffled at first, but then thought for a moment. He knew it was a test. He grinned at Wednesday, his only mistake, "You're the Queen of the Damned."

At that Wednesday gave at him a small, genuine smile.

…

And then she helped him out of the lake after he fainted.
