I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, or any of the Coraline characters.
Coraline, Taylor, and Tess eventually made it to the Punch Buggy which is her parents' car, and used the snips to cut the rope that was holding a pink suitcase with blue flowers on it. She grabbed it, opened it, and took what was in it, which was either an navy or police hat. Tess looks at it, and said, "That is a nice hat Coraline."
Coraline looks at Tess, and said, "Thanks Tess, now let's go see Miss Spink and Miss Forcible." The girls soon went to the area where the actresses live, going down the stairs, and saw the door knocker that had the masks of entertainment, which one is happy, and the other is sad, and she knocked on it, she then looked at the welcome mat, which said, 'No whistling in the house,'
"No whistling in the house, I wonder why is that?" Taylor asked. Coraline shrugged her shoulders, then tried to peak into the glass window on the door, but then jumped back in surprise when three Terriers were barking at the door, this also scared Tess, since she doesn't want to be near dogs ever since that incident Taylor pulled on her with Hewie on the last adventure.
Someone eventually opened the door, and the Terriers jumping on the girls, with Tess soon going onto Taylor's head, the one who opened the door soon said, "Oh cease your infernal yapping." The dogs obeyed, then circle around the girls, while the person who is an elderly woman, and said, "Oh how nice to see you, Caroline. Would you and your friends like to come in? We're playing cards."
The woman backs up, while the dogs, and the girls walk in with the woman, and Coraline said, "Still Coraline, Miss Spink, and my friends are called Taylor and Tess."
"Miriam! Put the kettle on!" Miss Spink yelled, then posed and winked, and then moved toward some curtains, revealing a poster of what her and Miss Forcible were when they were younger. Coraline looked at the poster while she took off her raincoat.
Coraline opened the curtains, and see the area where Miss Spink and Miss Forcible live. "Wow this is some nice digs they live in for some retired actresses," Taylor said.
"Thank you Taylor," Miss Spink replied as she dances, then asked, "Would you like tea with Caroline?"
"Sorry, I must decline, but thanks for the offer Miss Spink," Taylor replied.
"Very well then Taylor," Miss Spink replied.
The girls soon see someone who is in the kitchen, which Taylor thinks is Miss Miriam Forcible. Miss Forcible said, "April, I think you're being followed." Miss Forcible took out some rod glasses to get a good look at the girls following Miss April Spink.
"It's the new neighbor, Mariam. Caroline, and she brought friends, Taylor and Tess," Miss Spink replied. Taylor looked at the some pictures of programs they were in, first one was titled, 'JULIUS SEES-HER,' which they had some roman robes, and the other was called, 'KING LEER," which they were dressed in medieval close before a king, as Miss Spink continued, "Caroline will be having the oolong tea."
"No! Oh, no, no," Miss Forcible replied, and then said, "I'm sure she'd prefer jasmine." Miss Forcible was holding a jar, labeled, 'JASMINE."
"No, oolong," Miss Spink replied.
"Ah. Jasmine it is, then," Miss Forcible replied back.
Miss Spink sighed, facepalmed, and shook her head as she moved on with Coraline and Taylor with Tess on Taylor's shoulder following the former actress. Miss Spink soon was near the table, and said, "Come on, boys," while also waving the dogs off the sofa.
Taylor and Coraline sat on the couch, while Coraline threw her raincoat on the couch, the girls looked around, until they were shocked with other Terriers on shelves, but they were posed and looked like angels. "Now that just ain't right," Taylor said.
"Are those dogs real?" Coraline asked.
Miss Spink waved at the dogs, and replied, "Our sweet departed angels. Couldn't bear to part with them, so we had them stuffed." Miss Spink soon sat down, and begin to introduce their late dogs.
As she was telling the names of the dogs, Miss Forcible carried a tray with a cup of tea, a kettle, and a bowl of candy, and said, "Go on. Have one." As she puts the trey on the table, she said, "It's hand pulled taffy from Brighton. Best in the world."
Coraline tried to get the taffy, but it was stuck on the others, and then her hand. She shook it but was still stuck, until she used her other hand and boot to get it off, until it did, causing her to fall off the couch, and the bowl to hit the large heating pipe, and was stuck to it. Coraline soon got up, and looks at the taffy stuck on the pipe, as Miss Spink said, "I'll read them if you like." Miss Spink moves the lamp near her.
Coraline sat back on the couch and asked, "Read what?"
Miss Spink puts on a small purple turban with an eye on it making look like she has a third eye, and replied, "Your tea leaves, dear. They'll tell me your future." Coraline was amazed, and then grabbed her cup of tea, as Miss Spink said, "Drink up then. Go on." Coraline then drank it, but Miss Spink then said, "No, not all of it. Not all of it." Coraline stopped, then took a sip, then Miss Spink said, "That's right. Now hand it over." Coraline gave Miss Spink the cup, which Miss Spink tilted it around a bit, looked into it, winced, and said, "Oh!" She looks at it, and said, "Oh, Caroline. Caroline, Caroline, Caroline." Coraline looked at a confuse look, as Miss Spink continued, "You are in terrible danger."
Coraline soon looked scared, while Taylor and Tess were concerned, for it might be something with the Beldam. But then Miss Forcible came and said, "Oh, give me that cup, April." Miss Forcible took the turban off Miss Spink's head, and said, "Your eyes are going."
"My eyes? You're blind as a bat," Miss Spink replied, taking the turban back.
"Well, not to worry, child," Miss Forcible said, looking at the cup with her glasses, and said, "It's good news. There's a tall, handsome beast in your future."
Coraline was confused, and asked, "A what?"
Miriam, really," Miss Spink said, she shook Miss Forcible's arm a bit, as Miss Forcible moved the cup back to Miss Spink as she said, "You're holding it wrong. See? Danger.
"What do you see?" Coraline asked.
"I see a very peculiar hand," Miss Spink replied. That made Taylor remember the claws of the Beldam.
Miss Forcible turned the cup around, and said, "I see a giraffe."
"Giraffes don't just fall from the sky, Miriam," Miss Spink replied.
"Speaking of which," Taylor said, making the others look at her in confusion, until the bowl of taffy got off the pipe, and hit the floor, shattering it and scattering the taffy. This also surprised the others, and making the dogs to yip.
Coraline then asked the actresses, "Well, what should I do?"
"Never wear green in your dressing room," Miss Spink replied, giving Miss Forcible a nudge.
"Acquire a very tall stepladder," Miss Forcible said, as nudge to Miss Spink as well.
Miss Spink soon said, while nudging Miss Forcible a few time, "And be very, very careful, and accept a little help from your friends here as well." Miss Forcible gave Miss Spink a big nudge, which knocked her down with a gasp. Miss Spink soon got up, and asked Coraline, "Now, was there something you came to tell us?"
Coraline looked at the actresses, as the lean a bit toward, as she replied, "No. I guess not. Thanks for the tea, though." Coraline then grabbed her hat and raincoat, got up from the couch and was leaving, while the dogs got up on the couch.
"Nice to meet you Miss Spink and Miss Forcible," Taylor said.
"Toodle-oo," Miss Forcible said.
"Cheery-bye," Miss Spink said as well.
"Do you have any nice queens for Mummy?" Miss Forcible asked one of her dogs, which yips as the girls left the actresses abode.
"Well, they were some nice ladies," Tess said, which made Coraline and Taylor smile to know she is right.
As they climbed up the stairs, Coraline asked, "Danger? They were greeted at the top of the stairs by a mist that was going up to Taylor and Coraline's legs.
"Funny, is this a usual occurrence?" Taylor asked. Coraline shrugged her shoulders, and they walked back to Coraline's apartment, but Coraline stopped when she heard some rattling. She soon might think who it is, and smirked.
She turned, and walked casually, which made Taylor and Tess confuse, until the see that it was Wybie wearing his mask. Coraline then put her hands to her back, still walking casually, with Wybie behind her, who moved towards her, when she grabbed the periscope part of his mask, and pulled him up from the mist with an exclaim, while she unmasked him. Coraline then said, "Great! The village stalker."
While she was saying that, she punched him and said, "Ow!"
"That wasn't very nice Coraline," Tess said.
"The ottsel, or what I had to say to my Gramma, ferret's right, and I wasn't stalking you," Wybie said, paused and then said with a smile, "We're hunting banana slugs."
"What do you mean 'we?'" Coraline asked, her question was answered when the cat came out of Wybie's coat, and went on his shoulders. Coraline then said, "Ha! Your cat's not wild. He's a wuss puss."
The cat soon glared at Coraline and Wybie asked, "What? He hates to get his feet wet. Jeez."
He soon took his mask back form Coraline, and she said, "Wuss puss." Wybie put his mask on, turned the periscope down, took out some tongs, and looked down. As Wybie was hunting, Coraline had her arms crossed, and then said, "So, that doll. Did you make it look like me?"
Coraline followed Wybie, he replied, "Oh, no. I found it that way. It's older than grandma." As he was searching, the cat jumped off his back, an onto the Punch Buggy, as he continued, "Old as this house, probably."
"Come on. Blue hair, my swampers and raincoat?" Coraline asked as she showed the description of the doll was wearing which is the same as her, while the girls looked at the cat climbing up a tree.
"Might be more than coincidence, girl," Taylor muttered.
What was that Taylor?" Coraline asked.
"Nothing Coraline," Taylor replied
Wybie soon said, while having a banana slug in the tongs, "Dang! Check out Slugzilla."
He showed the slug to the girls, Tess soon said, "He looks very interesting."
Coraline soon shoved the slug away, and said, "You're just like them."
Wybie looked at the slug, then Coraline, and asked, "Huh?"
Coraline glared, and replied, "I meant my parents. They don't listen to me either."
"Hey, I know they are busy due to their work, but once they finish it, there is a chance they can have some to listen," Taylor said. Coraline then looked at Taylor, and smiled a bit, think she might be right.
"Uh-huh, she's right, and also you mind?" Wybie asked Coraline, giving her a camera, and took pictures of Wybie, first was when he made some chomping noises as if he was eating the slug, then grunted as he made the slug look like a booger, next he screamed as if the slug was big and wants to eat him, the last one is he had his mouth cover, he soon said, "Hmm," then revealed the slug between his lip and nose, making it look like he had a mustache.
"Ew!" Coraline said, and then laughed.
"Wow you really have a good sense of humor Wybie," Tess said, then went to the tree to follow the cat.
Coraline soon gave back the camera, which he puts in his coat, but then was a bit sad, looking at the house, taking off his mask, and said, "You know, I've never been inside the Pink Palace." As he was talking, he turned until his back was facing the house.
"You're kidding," Coraline said.
He soon looked at Coraline, and replied, "Grandma'd kill me. Thinks it's dangerous or something."
Coraline looked at the house, and asked, "Dangerous?"
Tess and the cat looked at the three humans below them, as Wybie replied as he was walking, "Well, she had a twin sister."
"So?" Coraline asked while she and Taylor followed him.
The two furry creatures look at them, as Wybie replied, "When they were kids, Grandma's sister disappeared." This made Taylor and Tess feel a bit concerned since Wybie's Grandma's sister might be one of the three missing children. As he was looking in the mist, he soon said, "She says she was stolen."
"Stolen?" Coraline asked. This caused the cat to look at the Coraline doll which was near the window, and meows at it.
Tess looked at it too, and said, "I have a feeling you might know something about that doll neither of us know about." The cat nodded as if to say, 'you're right.'
Coraline soon asked, "Well, what do you think?"
Wybie hesitated, but replied, "I don't know. Maybe she just ran away."
As he talked, he found what he was looking for, which was his bike, and the cat was coming towards him and landed on his shoulders.
While Tess, who followed the cat jumped back on Taylor's shoulder, they heard Mrs. Lovat yelling, "Wyborne!"
Wybie looked, and said, "Look girls, I gotta go."
"Wait a minute," Coraline said, but Wybie soon was riding away on his bike with the cat on his shoulders.
"Nice to see you again Wybie," Taylor yelled. Coraline soon was getting curious about what happened to Mrs. Lovat's sister. She soon went into the house, but Taylor and Tess stayed outside. Taylor soon whispered, "So, a disappeared sister of the landlady of this house, the ways of this mystery is thickening, perhaps another trip to the Other World might give us a clue someday."
Coraline soon came out, and asked, "You two coming, in?"
Taylor and Tess soon looked, and Taylor said, "We're coming."
The duo soon went into the house, feeling that tonight might be another visit.
So the girls met Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, as well as their dogs, and another chat with Wybie, I wonder what will happen and what Taylor might see through Tess's eyes via clairvoyance in the Other World.
