Chapter 3,
"Get ready little mogwi's because here comes the Gremlins." Wybie said, holding the movie up, and Coraline chuckled softly at his joke, which instantly made Harry jealous, which made Mariana sad.
"Come on, Why-were-you-born. Come meet my old friends from Michigan." Coraline said to the boy.
"Oh, Coraline, that's not a very nice thing to call your friend." Mariana said and Wybie waved her off.
"It's ok, Jonesy has been calling me that since the day we met." Wybie said, and it was true, but Coraline still rolled her eyes.
"Wybie, this is my friend Mariana." Coraline said and Wybie shook her hand.
"Oh my, I fear that I have died and became a ghost, for no one seems to see me." Harry said dramatically and Coraline chuckled at him.
"Ok, Mr. Ghost. Would you like to meet my friend Wybie?" Coraline asked and Harry winked at her.
"If you insist, medium of the spirits." Harry said and Mariana blinked.
"Medium?" She said and Wybie nodded.
"Yeah, a kind of vessel for spirits to use, but mostly it is simply a person that can communicate with the dead." Wybie said and Harry was actually impressed at this.
"I'm surprised. Normally when it comes to mythology, or folklore, I would have to explain it to these two knuckleheads." Harry said and Mariana playfully punched his arm.
"How many times do I have to tell people to be nice?@ Mariana asked and Harry rolled his eyes.
"At least one more time." Harry said.
"Mah! Then boy you better start being nice to me." Mariana said.
"Or what?" Harry inquired with a cocky smile.
"Or else I'll reveal some stupid embarrassing secret about you." Mariana threatened.
"Like what?" Harry asked and Mariana smiled.
"Like this." She said, and then she leaned in and whispered in his ear. Soon Harry's eyes widened and a blush formed in his face.
"Ok, ok, you've made your point." Harry said, stepping away from her and Coraline giggled at them.
"I swear you don't even need me anymore." Coraline said, and Harry gasped dramatically.
"Parish the thought, young one. Thoughts like that are what makes ghosts, like me, exist." Harry said and this time Wybie rolled his eyes.
"Ok, Jonesy. Everything you told me makes sense now." Wybie said and Coraline chuckled.
"See what I mean, huh? Well then, I guess it's only fair to set up the movie and get ready." Coraline said and Wybie walked over to the DVD player and Mariana walked into the kitchen.
"So, Wybie seems nice." Harry said and Coraline shrugged.
"He can be a real pain in my behind, so you two should get alone fine." Coraline jokes and Harry let out an insure laughter.
"Yeah, but uh, what's the story with this guy anyways?" Harry asked and Coraline kind of roller her eyes.
"I met him the day I moved into the pink palace. His grandmother owns the place, so he hangs out and lives nearby. He's the only other kid outside of town." Coraline said and Harry nodded.
"So it's a friendship based on convenience?" Harry asked, but Coraline paused.
"Well, I really didn't like him at first. I thought that he was a stalker. But Wybie is kind, brave, and loyal. It's not always easy to see those kinds of qualities at first. I'm sure that if you make the effort to give Wybie a chance, then you two would become good friends too." Coraline said and Harry sighed.
"Ok, Cor, I'll make an effort to get to like Wybie." Harry said and Coraline nodded.
"Good, now we just have to deal with the hard part." Coraline said and Harry rose an eyebrow at her.
"What's that? Mariana liking Wybie?" Harry asked and Coraline shook her head.
"No, Wybie liking you, Harry. You can be quiet a handful." Coraline said with a wink. And Harry placed the back of his hand on his forehead.
"My dear, you think you know so much about me. I can be more then what you call 'a handful'." Harry said dramatically and Coraline rolled her eyes.
"So then what are you?" Coraline asked and Harry gave her a devilish grinD
"A hungry troll." Harry said and Coraline's eyes widened as she remembered what that meant.
"Uh-oh" She said and Harry chased Coraline all around the house until Mell yelled at them, forcing them to stop. Wybie enjoyed watching Coraline with her old friends, as if no time had passed at all. But it had. He and Jonesy has fought the other other mother and threw her hand down the well, with that cursed key. A small part of Wybie told him that they shouldn't be having a sleepover here, but how could the other mother get them now?
