I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, or any of the Coraline characters.


Coraline, with Tess on her shoulders, and the Other Wybie were soon going up the stairs, where the Other Mel, and the Other Charlie were waiting for them.

The Other Charlie soon waved, and said, "Hey, there."

"Was it wonderful dear?" the Other Mel replied.

Coraline soon gestured, and replied, "Oh, yeah. They swooped down and pulled me right out of my seat," as she was explaining, the Other Mel and Other Charlie followed her, while Tess looked at the Other Wybie, who was frowning, as Coraline continued, "Spink and Forcible, only they weren't old ladies." Coraline was climbing up the stair, as she continued, "That was a disguise." The Other Charlie and Other Mel soon went up the stairs, while Coraline continued to explain, and Tess went off her shoulder, "But then, I was flying through the air, and it was..." Coralin paused for a moment, and then said, "It was magic."

The Other Mel smiled, and asked, "You do like it here, don't you, Coraline?"

"Uh-huh," Coraline replied, the Other Mel put a hand on her shoulder, but Coraline looked back, and said while waving, "Good night, Wybie."

Tess soon went after Coraline and her 'other parents,' but stopped when the Other Mel turned, Tess soon turned around, and saw the Other Wybie, who was still frowning. The Other Mel soon put her fingers near her mouth, and grinned, gesturing him to keep smiling, but he couldn't as he bowed his head. The Other Mel soon closed the door, but not before Tess could get in so Taylor can see what is happening through the ottsel's eyes, she went to Coraline, and said, "You could stay here forever if you want to."

"Really?" the blue-haired girl asked excitingly.

"Sure. We'll sing and play games, and Mother will cook your favorite meals," the Other Charlie replied, as the group went into the dining room with Tess behind them.

The Other Mel soon grabbed, and pulled out a chair, and said, "There's one tiny little thing we need to do."

Coraline soon sat on the chair, and asked, "What's that?" As she asked, Tess soon jumped, and landed on Coraline's shoulder.

"Well, it's a surprise," the Other Charlie replied as he pushed the chair with Coraline in, then went to a different chair on the table.

The Other Mel soon took out a present, placed it on the table where Coraline is, and said, "For you, our little doll." Coraline opened the present, and looked in surprise of what she saw, a spool with black thread with a needle on the thread, and two symmetrical buttons. "Black is traditional," the Other Mels said, Coraline, Taylor, and Tess were a bit startled, then looked at the Other Mel, who said, "But if you'd prefer pink," the Other Mel's button eyes turned pink but then faded back to black, as she continued, "or vermillion," the Other Charlie's button eyes turned vermillion, then faded back to black as she continued, "or chartreuse..." the buttons in the box turned chartreuse then faded back to black. Seeing that happening, Coraline gasped, while Taylor and Tess were concerned as well, as the Other Mel continued while tapping her button eyes, "Though you might make me jealous."

Coraline was scared, and yelled while pushing the box away, "No way!" The box slid across the table, but the Other Mel caught it, and yelled, "You're not sewing buttons in my eyes!" While yelling, she put her hands on her eyes to cover them.

"Oh, but we need a 'yes' if you want to stay here," the Other Mel replied, while pushing the box back toward her.

The Other Charlie took the needle, and said, "So sharp you won't feel a..." however while he felt something kicked him, which was the Other Mel, causing the Other Charlie say, "Ow!"

Coraline moved her eyes, then looked at the Other Mel, who said while getting up and taking the box, "There, now. It's your decision, darling." She soon puts the box in front of Coraline, and said, "We only want what's best for you."

"Best for Coraline, or best for you," Taylor thought, so no one can hear her thoughts.

Coraline soon looked at what was in the box, stammered, and said, "I'm going to bed. Right now!"

"Bed?" the Other Mel asked.

"Before dinner?" the Other Charlie asked.

"I'm really, really tired. Yeah," Coraline replied, yawning pretendedly, and said, "I just need to sleep on things."

"Well of course you do, darling," the Other Mel replied, looking at Coraline, and said, "I'll be happy to tuck you in."

"Oh, no, thanks," Coraline replied back, holding her hands out, backing up, and said, "You've done so much already."

Coraline soon turned, and saw the Other Mel was right in front of her as she gasped, while the Other Mel said, "You're welcome. And I..." She paused, grabbed the Other Charlie, who walked toward her, as she continued, "We aren't worried at all, darling." Coraline was scared, as the Other Mel continued, "Soon you'll see things our way." The two soon moved out of the way of the stairs, and allowed Coraline with Tess on her shoulder, as she smiled at the 'other parents,' walking casually up the stairs, and then once she was out of view of them, ran towards the place where her room is, and closed the door.

"What's wrong, Coraline?" asked the dragonflies, Coraline looked at them with a glare, as the asked her, "Don't you wanna play?"

Coraline soon grabbed the dragonflies, one by one, then the squid soon said, "Yeah! I wanna hug your face!"

Coraline took him off the shelf, then then the turtle, then the giraffe doll, who said, "Get a grip soldier!"

"Hey!" said the boy and girl of the picture.

"Where's your buttons, Loper?" asked the boy.

Coraline soon took the picture, as the girl asked, "You want to stay, don't you?"

Coraline said, while closing a chest where she was putting the stuff in, then moved a mirror dresser, a chair, and a chest with books on top of it so they won't get out to block the door to the hallway, "Going home with Tess tonight, robots, and I won't be back." She soon took off her boots, turned off the lights, put the covers over her, and said, "Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep."

Tess knew, and even Taylor who was seeing things through the ottsel's eyes as well that it won't work, while they hear what the Other Mel and the Other Charlie said while Coraline still said the same thing over and over.

A few minutes later, both of them heard Coraline said while she lifts the covers, "Mom! Dad!" She soon looked around and gasped, and said, "Oh, man. We're still here?" Coraline soon moved the stuff, and with Tess on her shoulders went down the stairs, went to the doors to the living room, which were locked. Coraline tried as her might to open them, but couldn't. The two soon heard a piano playing. Coraline opened the door to the Other Charlie's study, and see him playing the piano. Coraline glared, and said, "Hey, you!" She walked toward the Other Charlie, and asked, "Where's the other mother?" She soon paused, and said, "I wanna go home."

The Other Charlie stopped, turned around, and said, "All will be swell, soon as Mother's refreshed." She was surprised, as the Other Charlie said, "Her strength is our strength." Once he said that, the hands of the piano came out, one covered his mouth, and the other waved a finger as if saying, 'naughty, naughty,' the hands went back into the piano, as the Other Charlie turned back to the piano keys, and said, "Mustn't talk when Mother's not her."

Coraline replied, "If you won't even talk to me, I'm gonna find the other Wybie." She pointed her thumb to her chest, and said, "He'll help me."

"No point," the Other Charlie replied, as he turned back to Coraline, pulled his mouth down, and said, "He pulled a long face, and Mother didn't like it." This caused the girls to be scared, then the hands grabbed him again as he grunted, Coraline gasped, and ran outside, going up the hill to the path of the well, trying to get out of this world.


Coraline was shocked at the gift from the Other Mel, and now is trying to get out. Anyway, if you are reading this, thank you for reading.
