Chapter 3: Kids, meet the Other Mother!

That day went like normal, until "This is the perfect scam!" Eddy told his friends as they set up a stand in front of Eddy's house "This has to be the strangest plot you have ever made Eddy…" Double-D told his short friend.

But Eddy just smiled and yelled at the kids "Behold! The Other World! The greatest time of your life is just behind a small door!" Kevin walked up "Are you crazy or something?" Eddy just smirked/

"What would you say if I could get you to taste the greatest ice-cream in the world?" Kevin put down 50 cents "I say… I better get a refund if it isn't the best…"

As Kevin was talking to Eddy, Coraline was talking to Nazz and Sarah "What's Kevin doing with Eddy?" Coraline asked "Just another one of Eddy's scam… looks like a… Other World scam?" Coraline froze "No…" she ran at the house "He went through…" she said to herself as she ran.

In the house, Kevin was surprised when he saw the door "Guess you were right about the door." Eddy took out the key and put it in the lock. He turned it and opened the door "After you." Eddy gestured for him to go in.

But outside, Coraline was telling the 2 Ed's to let her pass "Please! If you don't let me by, Eddy is going to die!" Double-D shook his head "You're not listening to me!" she kicked Ed and went by.

She ran through the house, but when she found the door… it was open… "No…" she whispered to herself. But she suddenly felt something… something pulling her to the door "No!" she tried to run, but the force was too great. She was sucked into the door…

But on the other side, Kevin was eating the best ice cream ever "So are you enjoying it Kevin?" the Other Mother ask the hat wearing boy "Yep!" Kevin said in a muffled voice "Told ya!" Eddy said mockingly.

Over the next few days, the other kids met the Other Mother and saw how nice she was. They ate her food, play games and even saw a Circes with the Other Kids in it! But throughout it all, Double-D felt strangely odd, like something was wrong.

After 5 days, Coraline woke… I her bed? 'Alright, what is she planning…?' she got up and opened her door, but she only saw white nothingness "Do you like your room?" Coraline froze. She would know that voice anywhere… the Other Mother… "W-what do you want?" Coraline just managed to get out of her throat. The Other Mother smiled "To make a deal…"

It had been 2 weeks, and the children spent more time in the Other World then in reality. They kept having the best times they ever had. Eating cake for dinner, playing with their favorite stars… until one day… "Oh Kevin!" the Other Mother called out to the cap wearing boy while he was playing soccer with national pros.

He came over and saw behind the Other Mother… the Other Coraline… she wore a blue skirt with a pink shirt "I thought you would like to have Coraline… this way…" the Other Coraline walked up to Kevin and planted a kiss on his lips. He blushed "You two go play!" the Other Mother said happily.

The two walked off "So… you're the Other Coraline…?" she smiled at him lovingly "Yep… but right now…" she moved her fingers up to his cheek "I'm anything you want…" Kevin blushed.

"Hello Kevin!" Double-D walked up to them and saw the Other Coraline "Wow…" he started to sweat uncontrollably. "So… you like?" she asked the sock head "Y…yeah…" she walked by him and he fell into a puddle of his own sweat.

The 2 now walked by the other houses, until the Other Coraline looked over at Eddy's other house, and she pulled Kevin into the bushes "Ok, I think your kisses are…" he couldn't finish, because the Other Coraline silenced him "Shut up…" she whispered "You and everyone has to get out of here…"

Kevin looked confused "if she puts the buttons in front of you… run… run as fast as you can… or you'll die…" she got out of the bushes and ran behind a house 'What was that about?' Kevin asked himself confused.

After a few more days, the kids were eating the delicious food "Did you all have a good day?" they all nodded their heads at the Other Mothers question "Honey! Can you bring in more food?" the Other Coraline walked in with big plates of turkey and chicken "Well… you could stay…" the Other Mother told them.

They all looked at her with big happy faces "We can?" Sarah asked happily "Yes! There is just one tiny thing you have to do…" the Other Mother told them "Will it have to do with… buttons?" Kevin asked, and the Other Mother looked at him "Why yes! But where did you here it from?" she tapped her fingers in the table.

"Well…" Kevin stumbled to answer "Other Coraline told me about it… she said it involved… death?" she looked at the Other Coraline "Oh she did? Well I ensure you; no harm will come to you. Honey? Can you bring the present…" the Other Coraline brought a small green box for each of them.

They all opened the with glee… but inside… was 2 black buttons with a spool and thread… "Can you pass the ketchup?" Jimmy asked. "Well… you can make your decision, tomorrow… but you should rest, time for bed." she sent the kids off to the bedrooms "Oh! Honey…" the Other Coraline stopped with fear "We need to talk…"

The Other Coraline stopped "Y… yes mother?" the Other Mother put her hand on the Other Coraline's shoulder "We had a deal… if this happens again… you know what will happen…" Other Coraline put her head down "I know…"
