I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, Bentley, or any of the Coraline characters or the songs, which are from the film or book I think.
After exploring the house more, eventually it was dinnertime, and the girls went to the kitchen. Charlie soon began singing while serving the food.
Charlie:
~Oh, my twitchy-witchy girl~
~I think you are so nice~
~I give you bowls of porridge~
~And I give you~
~bowls of ice cream~
Taylor and Tess weren't not liking the look of Charlie's food, but ended up eating it so not to hurt Charlie's feelings. Coraline on the other hand groans in disgust, pushed her plate of food away from her, and asked Mel, "Why don't you ever cook, Mom?"
"Coraline we've been through this before," Mel replied, she soon put her fingers out, tapping them with her index finger, and said, "Your dad cooks, I clean, and you stay out of the way." Coraline sighed at that, while Mel lifted her hand up, and said, "I swear I'll go food shopping soon as we finish the catalog." Mel pushed Coraline's plate back and said, "Try some of the chard. You need a vegetable."
"It looks more like slime to me," Coraline said, holding the green part, which fell off her fork.
"Well, it's slime or bedtime, fusspot," Charlie said, waving his fork full of food, then asked his daughter, "Now what's it gonna be?"
"Think they're trying to poison me?" Coraline asked the doll version of herself, which she moved to make it look like it is nodding, then Coraline sighed, and went up the stairs to bed.
"You know, despite it's appearance, you are a good cook Mr. Jones," Taylor said, making him smile that he was being appreciated. Once she was finished her plate, she went upstairs to Coraline, who was lying on her bed, still scratching her rashes from the poison oak dowsing rod.
She soon took a picture from a mantis picture holder, and looks at it, which was of a boy and a girl, who Taylor thinks is her friends from Pontiac, Michigan that put a sign on the school saying, 'CORALINE GOOD BYE," and Coraline said to the picture, "Don't forget about me, guys. Okay?" She soon puts the picture back in the mantis, turned off the light, but the place was still bright due to a night light, grabbed a teddy bear near her, pulled her covers, and said to the doll, that she placed on the chair next to the bed, "Good night, little me," and soon went to sleep.
Taylor soon left Coraline's room, so she can get some sleep on the couch in the living room, which had a spare blanket and pillow that Mel and Charlie were kind to give to Taylor, and went to sleep too. Suddenly Taylor heard a door opened, she looked up, and saw the small door opened by itself, and she saw a mouse coming out, but Taylor noticed that the mouse had button eyes, and it went off to go upstairs. She was about to follow it, until she noticed something in the corner, which she knew was and said, "Tess, look an Ability Sphere." Tess looked at it, and knew it was good, Taylor soon looks at the sphere to see what the move is.
Taylor sees a stick figure with a creature next to it. The creature soon dropped something, and the tall stick figure picks it up, then some circles formed on the head of the stick figure, then the same for the creature.
Taylor soon looked at Tess, and asked, "Hey Tess, can I hold your headband for a bit?"
"Um, sure," Tess replied, took off her headband, and gave it to Taylor. Taylor then put on her goggles, and soon she was seeing herself wearing the goggles and holding Tess's headband.
Taylor took of her goggles, put a hand to her ear, and said, "Bentley, I knew Tess can be useful, I can see things through her eyes."
"Astonishing, the Ability Sphere you found showed you the Enhanced form of Clairvoyance," Bentley said. Taylor smiled for this new ability, as Bentley continued to instruct her, "Though you have been using that ability already, whence the reason you've been having visions, this version can help you see things through the eyes of the possession you are holding, could be useful going into where the Beldam's lair without going there yourself."
Taylor soon heard the squeak of the mouse again, but with some footsteps, she soon went back to the couch, and make it look like she is still asleep, as she sees Coraline going towards the small door that the mouse squeezed through, and opened it, seeing a long blue tunnel ending with another door, and causing Coraline to gasp in amazement.
"Whoa!" Coraline said, as she took off the blanket that was over her shoulder, and began crawling through the tunnel.
"Go time, Tess," whispered Tess, as the ottsel nodded in agreement, who soon follows Coraline. Taylor then puts her goggles on her eyes, and begins to see things through Tess's eyes.
Tess sees Coraline open the door, and all Coraline asked was, "Huh?" For all she saw was nothing different in this living room, except for the painting of the boy, who had three scoops of ice cream, and was happily licking it, and notice that Taylor wasn't on the couch. Coraline soon smelled something, and said, "Mmm. Something smells good. Coraline turns until she saw Tess, and said, "Huh, seems you must've followed me, well at least I have some company while I explore." Tess smiled, and she soon jumped onto Coraline's shoulder, not knowing that Taylor is using Clairvoyance to see things through the ottsel's eyes. Coraline soon sees her mother humming at the kitchen, and asked, "Mom? What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
"You're just in time for supper, dear," Mel replied, shocking both Coraline and Tess for she had button eyes.
Coraline backed up a bit as Mel gives off a grin. She soon walks forward, and said with a glare, "You're not my mother. My mother doesn't have..." Coraline soon stammered.
Mel mimics Coraline's stammering, then asked, "Buttons? Do you like them?" She put down the bowl she was holding, and said, "I'm your other mother, silly."
"So, this is what the missing children meant by their other mother," Tess thought, as if maybe hoping Taylor could hear it through Tess's mind.
The Other Mel soon went towards the stove, and said, "Now go tell your other father that supper's ready." Coraline gave the Other Mel a confused look, while she puts on an oven mitt, and said, "Well go on. He's in his study."
Coraline with Tess on her shoulder went off, while still looking at the Other Mel with her eyes squinting. Coraline and Tess soon sees to what looks like the Other Charlie, who was playing on a piano the same way the real Charlie was typing on his computer. "Hello?" Coraline asked.
The Other Charlie turned, and said, "Hello, Coraline." Coraline and Tess were shocked on seeing that the Other Charlie too had button eyes, he soon asked, "Wanna hear my new song?"
Coraline glared a bit, and said, "My father can't play piano."
"No need to," the Other Charlie replied. Suddenly the piano opened to reveal some gloves on some scissor extensions, shocking Coraline and Tess. The gloves soon go one the Other Charlie's hands, while he said, "This piano plays me." The Other Charlie exclaims in surprise as he was lifted up a bit and then was landed on the stool, facing the piano, and was playing it, and began singing while rug underneath the piano began spinning it around.
Other Charlie:
~Making up a~
~song about Coraline~
~She's a peach,~
~she's a doll,~
~she's a pal of mine~
~She's as cut~
~as a button in~
~the eyes of everyone~
~Who ever laid~
~their eyes on Coraline~
~When she comes~
~around exploring~
~Mom and I will never,~
~ever make it boring~
~Our eyes will~
~be on Coraline~
"I'm sorry, but she said to tell you the food's ready," Coraline said, tapping on the Other Charlie's shoulder.
"Mmm," replied Other Charlie, rubbing his hands, then asked, "Who's starving? Raise your hand." He lifted one hand, but the other raised up as well hitting him in the face a bit causing him to say, "Whoa!"
The Other Charlie chuckled a bit, and so did Coraline, but Tess kept her mouth shut, while Taylor, who was still in the real world sees this beautiful place, but despite this knows that this beauty hides danger.
So Taylor now has a new Ability, Enhanced Clairvoyance, letting her be able to go to the Other World without actually going into it. Just hope I don't get penalized a bit, despite the singing, I will tell you, this is a story, not a songfic.
