hey! TheKawaiifan here! So ive been working on this for awhile and its finally done! I just realized it was already done a few days ago and there was no writers block at all! I feel so stupid for that! Anyways, enjoy and Esther's speech is now written in a Russian accent for all chapters
I stood there in my blue dress and apron, shifting my feet in those black Mary Janes. I busily prepared everything in the kitchen when that little Russian accent I anxiously awaited had finally appeared. "Mommy?" it questioned. "Hello Esther, would you like to prepare supper with me tonight?" I greeted the little girl with a kind smile. Unlike Coraline, she didn't look too startled at my button eyes; though Esther clearly didn't see them coming. Her brown eyes widened just barely, eyebrows slightly raising in question. Other than that, she remained perfectly calm.
"I'd love to mommy" she smiled sweetly. Such an unusual little girl. A true angel. Such a shame that such kindness will have to go to waste. Her dark brown curls bounced playfully as she approached the counter, a simple beige nightgown with cute princess sleeves. Even in her nightwear this girl treasured some simple white ribbons on her wrists and neck. Esther slapped on an apron and put her hair up in a simple ponytail. "I just can't wait to taste Esther's cooking. I bet it might taste better than Other Mom's" Other Coraline chimed in. Esther looked over at her, noting not only the button eyes but also her simple yellow dress and white sweater. "that was mean" I commented. Other Coraline just smiled happily. "Jahst khow good ees Mommy's food anyvay's? I zought Daddy does ze cookingk" Esther asked, looking at us from the corner of those brown eyes of hers.
"Would you prefer if I cooked with you Esther?" Other Father arrived. This time Esther turned around 100%, studying the Other Father carefully. She smiled happily. "I vould love zat" Esther responded. I'd blink in confusion if I could. If only the doll had shown how much she prefers her father. Oh well, I didn't lead this girl here so I could become jealous of my own creations, I brought Esther here for a desperate meal. I'm really hungry here. "k. I'll just watch" Other Coraline decided, chin resting on her hands. "I'll be in the piano room if you need me" I announced myself, strutting off. It was supposed to be the other way around, but this is supposed to be Esther's perfect little world. I'll make it her perfect world.
I let my fingers dance upon the keys gracefully, creating such beautiful music. Later on Other Coraline came back. "Ok, this girl is just plain whack, even for us. She's never mentioned how different we are in comparison to her real family or the fact that we literally have buttons for eyes" she complained. "Don't worry your buttons off, if Esther wants to be polite, let her be. Just remember that she's my meal. Without her I'd die. And if I die, then you die with me" I calmly told my creation. She just nodded in understanding. "so it doesn't bother you that she's treating Other Father like a date?" she noted. I tapped my fingers suspiciously, processing this information. "I'll admit that is unusual, especially for a child her age, but we'll let her be. It won't matter anymore once I've had my feed" I told Other Coraline. "k. One more thing, the foods ready" Other Coraline told me. We headed back to the kitchen, greeted by Esther with an impressive bowl of lasagna.
"Did you really make this yourself?" I ask impressed. This stuff even tasted pretty good. Heck, pretty good was an understatement. This lasagna was wonderful. "Daddy deserves some of ze crredit too" she responded, enjoying some herself. "Of course he does. Silly me" I smiled. "Thanks Other Dad, thanks Esther" Other Coraline cheered. After some silent eating, Esther finally spoke up. "I vould've asked earlier, baht I deed'nt vant to be rrude" she spoke. We all turned our attention to Esther, awaiting what she didn't say before. "Vhy do you all khave button eyes?" she asked with pure curiosity. "Hmm, do you like them? I'm your Other Mother silly. And this is your other family" I explained. She still kept a perfectly straight face, so sweet and angelic. "Ees zees a drream?" She asked calmly. Other Coraline just burst out laughing. After a cold button stare at the older girl, I looked back at Esther with a smile. "I guess it depends if you want it to be one" I patted her head. After a moments silence Esther finally gave us a response. "I'll give zat some sought" she told us. We just went back to the lasagna.
"May I be excused from ze table?" Esther asked, her plate being perfectly empty. "Why of course Esther, you don't even need to ask" Other Father answered. "Sanks Ozer Daddy" she smiled gleefully, prancing away from the dinner table. "Other Mother, can I play with Esther for awhile?" Other Coraline asked in excitement. "Sure if it's alright with our little star" I responded, referring to Esther herself. "I vould love to play veez you Coraline" she smiled an angelic smile. "Nah uh uh, it's Other Coraline" she pranced over to her sister. "Of course" was my prey's only answer as they left to discover what I've prepared.
Later on I knew it would be real world morning soon. "Bedtime girls" I cheered. I found them playing in the yard turned palace that looked exactly like Esther. "Aww" Other Coraline complained. Esther didn't really seem bothered by the time though. "Ozer Mommy's rright, ve should go to bed soon" she told lil miss blue hair and button eyes. "Okay Esther" Other Coraline agreed. "Let's go then" I rushed them over. Other Coraline found comfort in the same pink bedroom and magical toy dragonflies from last time.
I escorted Esther over to her own new and improved bedroom. I kept the purple bedding from the real world, though now her walls are a midnight blue with twinkling little stars. She now had a closest with all the dresses and ribbons she could think of, and that Disney princess vanity set? It's still a mess of white swirls but now highlighted with lavender purple with more twinkling stars. I replaced the Disney princess logo with her name. And the pirate toy chest remained a real wooden chest with a star shaped lock. Better than that plastic thing isn't it? And all her toys would come to life. Her paintings are also here, only each character came to life on the paper and interacted with her.
"Vow" Esther seemed impressed. Her brown eyes scanned the room in amazement. I'd say, if I wasn't a witch, I could always make a living out of this. "I love zees rroom" the Russian girl told me. "I'm glad you do. Now, hop into bed. You are a growing girl" I escorted her to the bed. "Umm, Ozer Mommy. I don't feel comfortable beingk vatched vile I sleep" Esther told me as I tucked her in. "Not a problem my little star" I responded. And with a snap of my fingers, the paintings froze and the toys hid themselves away. "Sank you" she said as a lullabied her to sleep.
