Hey, I'm back like I promise. Hope you guys aren't mad for making you wait so long. I had a project on making a movie, book or video game poster and I picked Coraline. Yeah I had Coraline on the brain and I couldn't get it out of my head. So yeah, might as well go with it.

I don't own TDI or Coraline.

Dreams are so wonderful, they can be so real that they can predict the future or give the dream rather bizarre dreams that would make no sense in what-so-ever.

But this dream was rather the most weird and bizarre than any other kinds of dreams. The small door in the main lodge opened by itself, and coming out of the door was a bundle unraveling itself into a form of a cloth cutouts of mice circling each other in a dance. Making it very hypnotic.

*Squeak! Squeak!*

Gwen's eyes shot open when she heard the noise coming below her top bunk bed, she look underneath her and saw a mouse scurrying across the bottom bunks rails.

That mouse. It's one of the mice in her dream! Curious has taken over her as she quietly gets off of her bed and fallows the little long tailed mouse out of her teams cabin, making sure not to wake anyone up.

As she exit the girls cabin door, Gwen was surprise to see Trent, Duncan and Courtney outside from their cabins.

Okay... this isn't weird not weird at all. Just joking it is, it's totally hweird.

But before either of them could even speak and squeaks of the mice caught their attentions again and starts hopping away before stopping to see if they're still being fallowed, it was like the mice wanted to be notice by them.

When the four teens gave chase, the mice took off again. This is beyond weird, chasing mice? who would do this? Okay exterminators would, but teenagers?

If anyone saw them chasing mice in the middle of the night, oh the gossip will never stop. Thank god the camera's are off for the night.

The mice reach towards the main lodge and slid under the doors to the lodge, Trent opens the doors but didn't bother turning on the lights. Chances are that the lights are going to alert the others, or worse Chef from their slumber.

The mice made their presents known, as they made more squeaking sounds and rush over to the small door they had found earlier today and snuck through the cracks.

Now that the mice are now cornered, Duncan took out the his knife ready to strike them down. Trent opens the door, what everyone believe that behind the door is only the block off divider, was that it turn into a colorful raise of blue, purple and red tunnel extending to where the end door is. And to where the mice exited.

Their faces squint at the sudden cooling breeze hitting them, "Dude where are you going?" Duncan stop to turn and said "It's a window of opportunity, I'm checking it out." "You're going to get us in trouble!" Courtney quietly yells at him only to hear him callback "Not if we don't get caught first, and besides aren't you guys inching for an adventure?"

No matter how much she wants to deny it, Courtney is really interested on what's on the other side of the door. So she such up her pride and fallow after bad boy Duncan, while Gwen and Trent fallowed after them in shock.

The tunnel itself felt like cotton sheets, so mushy that it's hard to walk on without tripping over your own footing. As the end of the tunnel came closer into view, Duncan pushes the door wide open to relevel...

The main lodge?

.

"Huh?" "What the?" "How did we get back here?" "This can't be right?" picking themselves up off the ground, the small group starts to notice somethings different in the main lodge. For one, the fire place is lit and the whole place looked a lot more cleaner then before. And second, there was no sign of the food monsters still lurching around from tonight's dinner.

'Is this a trick?' Gwen thought as she looks up that the painting of the children looking sad for their broken toys, only to reeled back into Trent's side in shock. "What is it?" he ask, Gwen didn't replied but only point at the painting above the fire place, Trent, Duncan and Courtney fallow her point and were bewiled as she is.

The painting didn't show the kids looking down sad at their damaged toys, but the total opposite. They were smiling happily playing with their toys.

"Okay this is getting really weird." Courtney stated. Then something caught all of their attention, a delicious aroma filled the room. It was coming from the kitchen, was Chef cooking? in the middle of the night? and was also... singing? This isn't the Chef they know, Chef doesn't have a high feminine voice.

Following the sound of the humming singing voice they were surprised to see who was cooking in the middle of the night, four women with their backs turned from them. One with blonde hair, two with burnette hair but in different shades and one with black hair. The one thing they have in command is that they are dressed in colorful clothing.

Each one of them where shock at who those ladies are, "Mom/Mama!? What are you doing here-"

They didn't know what surprise them the most, the fact that their mothers are here on the island or that they get to see each other's own mother. But when their mothers turned around to greet them, Courtney, Duncan, Gwen and Trent were stunned at what they saw. None of them are their moms because...

... They all have buttons sewn into their eyes.

"You're just in time for supper, dears." said Gwen's 'mother' smilingly at them. Making the girls back up a little, while the boys stood still in intense. Duncan points accusingly at the imposter of his mother "Just who the heck are you, you're not my mother."

Duncan's imposter mother giggled before answering, "Of course not, I'm you Other Mother silly." "And so are we." Courtney, Gwen and Trent's Other mothers replied. "Now go tell your other father that supper's ready."

An other mother and an other father? Okay this is a dream, it just has to be.

"Well go on, there out by the craft hut and hunting lodge." Said Courtney's Other Mother, unsure of what to do, the teens just walk away to where their 'Other Fathers' are unintentionally.

When the Boys found their Other fathers they were working on something in the tool shed Duncan's and Trent's fathers turned around to face them, and they too, have black button eyes. They ask them if they would like to see their new project.

Trent gives his other father a questionable look then said "My father doesn't work on auto mechanics." "No need to." Two extendable gloved hands pop out of the tool cabinet to greet the boys, "These tools control me." with the help from the gloves the Other fathers pulls the tarp covers off to show the boys their projects.

Four motorcycles line up on display, a silver Harley Davidson Electra Glide, a red and black Ducati 1098, a blue Yamaha Artesia XT400 and a red Harley-Davidson V-Rod.

"Whoa!" "Ah slick!" Duncan and Trent amaze at the cools motorcycles their Other Father's crafts. They made these for them? "And all is left is a personal symbol design and to take these beauties on a test ride." said Duncan's Other Father, but as much as they want to try them out Trent interrupt them "Ah, perhaps another time. They said to tell you guys the food's ready."

"Well, can't argue with a mother's cooking." Said Trent's Other Father as the gloves raise themselves in agreement, it was funny and for some reason Trent and Duncan felt smiles creeping up on their faces.

Meanwhile, the girls found their father look-a-likes in the arts & crafts area. And just like Duncan's and Trent's Other Fathers, they too, have black buttons for eyes.

The Other Fathers ask them if Courtney and Gwen would like to hear their new song each of them has written for them. Courtney's Other Father was on strings while Gwen's Other Father was on the piano, and both were on vocals.

And just like the boys' Other Fathers they too had mechanical gloves helping them playing the instruments.

After the song was over the girls told them that the food's ready, the girls' Other Fathers made a little joke. Making both Courtney and Gwen smile and giggle. Gwen realize what she just did and brought her fingers to her lip, 'I... I hadn't smiled like this in a long time since... dad left.' while Courtney thought 'I can't remember the last time dad had ever been so fun and energetic.'

Time Skip

Everyone was now sitting at the main lodge dinning table and the food, it looked delicious. Roasted chicken with stuffing, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls and green peas. All place in a figure eight circler for everyone to be served.

Trent's Other Father cleared his throat and folded his hands against each other "We give our thanks and ask to bless our Mother's golden... chicken breast." the Other Fathers chuckled at the joke while the Other Mothers teased back.

Gwen and Courtney nervously smiled at the joke while Duncan and Trent let out a small chuckle. 'Well this is awkward.' They both thought as watched the other fathers fill their plates. The food looked and smelled so good that the guys couldn't help themselves to a drumstick of the chicken, though the girls were a bit hesitant but they too took a piece of that chicken.

And a good thing too, cause when they each took a bite overwhelming flavors filled their taste buds. "Whoa, this chicken is good!" Said Duncan as he continues to eat it and soon everyone starts to fill his or her plate with, well, everything.

His Other Mother spoke "I take it you're hungry, then?" "It's better then Chef's cooking." Duncan replied, then Trent ask "Is there any gravy?" Just as he said those words a whistle of a toy train caught his and the other's attention "Well here comes the gravy train. choo-choo!" said Trent's Other Mother with a laugh as she pretends to pull down the train whistle.

The train came to Trent's plate and pore the gravy onto his mash potatoes. "That's pretty cool." Gwen commented, but Trent couldn't reply because the train it look exactly like the one his grandfather gave him a long time ago.

Courtney's Other Mother then ask "Another roll, corn on the cob, green peas?" after swallowing down her food, Courtney replied "I'm a bit thirsty."

And what came next surprised not only her, but her companions as well. The chandelier spun down with different colors of what looked like beverages. "Any request?" The Other Mothers ask

"Strawberry Italian soda?" "Mt. Dew?" "Black Cherry Soda?" "Wild Cherry Pepsi?"

They each got which drink they wanted, just as they were washing down their meals, their Other Mothers took their plates away and replace them with a large three round chocolate layer cakes with two pink frosting and two blue frosting.

Soon as they were placed in front of them, star pattern frosting and lit candles appeared out from no where creating a circle around the surface of the cake while red spider cursive frosting spelled out,

Welcome Home!

"Home?" Duncan, Courtney, Trent and Gwen look over to their Other Parents in confusion. "We've been waiting for you, Courtney/Duncan/Gwen/Trent." their Other Mothers spoke in sync, as each of the Other Fathers went by their Other wives in a caring and loving embrace hugging hold.

'For me?' everyone thought and if it wasn't weird enough, Courtney's Other Fathers said "It wasn't the same without either of you, kidos." Gwen then spoke her thoughts out loud "Didn't know I had another mother." Gwen's Other Mother then said "Of course you do, everyone does."

Duncan crosses his arms against his chest, not fully buying what they are saying. "Really?" he says with suspicion in his voice. "Uh huh!" said Duncan's Other Mother; "And soon as you're all through eating I thought we could play a game!" as she and the Other Mothers tap the edge of the table with their nails with a shining gleam reflecting off from their button eyes.

This really increase their suspicions even more. Trent had to ask "What kind of game?" his Other Mother replies "It can be any kind of game: tag, capture the flag, hide and seek. In the rain." 'Rain?' Courtney took a quick glance at the window before looking back at her Other Mother and ask "What rain?"

*BOOM-CRASH-BOOM!*

the sound of thunder and lightning made her, Duncan, Trent and Gwen jump out of their seats a little. It wasn't raining when they got here and now it is? "What about the mud?" Gwen ask, she knew her mother couldn't stand anything that is dirty and disgusting, is her Other Mother like her real mother?

"Mud is good for many things: mud facials, mud baths, mud pies." Gwen's Other Mother relied listing off of anything that mud is useful for, as she and the Other Mothers went beside her and the others.

Trent's Other Mother held his rash hand in her hands "Did you know that it's great for poison oak?"

Okay, That set off many alarming flags warnings in Courtney's, Duncan's, Trent's and Gwen's mind. They didn't even mention it any conversation. Trent pulls his hand away from his Other Mother's grasp and ask "How did you know-?!" he stop his sentence and got up from the table ready to leave.

"Look this has been good, but I think it time to head back to my other mother." Trent said as he jab his thumb over his shoulder. "But I'm your Other Mother." his Other Mother said. Gwen, Courtney and Duncan also got up. "I think he means his real mother." said Gwen as she tried to leave only to bump into her Other Father, who only waved friendly at her.

This was getting too confusing for them, and Courtney spoke what everyone was thinking "I need to lay down for a while." her Other Mother came up beside her and said "Of course sweetheart, it's all made up." "But-" Courtney tried to protest, but felt someone giving her a nudge on her shoulders. It was her Other Father "Come along sleepy head."

It wasn't just her that was trap it was also Duncan, Trent and Gwen. They were caught in between their Other parents just as she is, there was no way of getting out from there sights.

They left the main lodge and went to each of the cabins, but on the walk they notice that the rain and stop and that the ground wasn't as wet as it should be. This place is getting weirder and weirder by the second.

The two Killer Bass went to their cabins while the Screaming Gophers went to theirs. Courtney's Other Father opens the door to the girls side of the cabin and turn on the lights, illumination the room with a warming glow. The fire place was lit giving more warmth into the room, the log walls were painted in dark crimson red. The place was much more cleaner, the mirror was no longer cracked and was framed in golden Victorian style along with white Victorian dresser draw and the beds have plush quilt covers and soft pillows, and beside her bed was a plush cream colored bunny with pink eyes asking her "How's it going?" in a soothing princess voice. "Hi." Courtney replies breathlessly in awe.

Origamis of butterflies flutter around the room greeting Courtney in soft chirping voices "Hello, Courtney. Hello. Hello. Hello." and circle around her before flying around the room once again as she climbs into her new soft bed.

When Duncan's Other Father turned on the lights, the bad boy was in awe just as much as Courtney. The room was exactly like the girls side: same wall paint color fire place and Victorian styles except the draws were black not white. Posters of some rock bands that Duncan liked caught his attention the band members were moving and playing their music even if the sound coming out from their instruments was so quiet it was still cool.

Then the sound of a dog back startled him, turning his head to where the backing came from and by the left back leg of the bunk bed two plush canine heads pop out from under the bottom bunk comforters, both a meter or so tall. One was a stuff gray timber wolf and they other was a dog, a German shepherd to be precise. This dog was his when he was a kid, and just seeing his dog jumping around him again nearly brought Duncan to tears as he climbs up to his bed.

Meanwhile at the Screaming Gophers cabin

Once the lights were turned on by Gwen's Other Father, Gwen was in awe at the change of her cabin, it was colored in dark green giving it a bit of a gothic look much to her liking. Black origami bats flutter around her to greet her before hanging themselves onto the ceiling for the night.

A model figure of a female character with blades sticking out of her arms and legs stood about 12 inches tall on her bed stand changing her pose every minute, while saying some interesting battle quotes. "Let this be an honorable fight, to the death." Gwen heard her say before climbing into her bed.

The room came to life when Trent's Other Father turned on the light switch, Poster of some famous singers of Elvis Presley and Elton John hung on the walls. His guitar was set neatly on a guitar stand strumming itself a soothing sound, and by it was a one meter tiger plush let out a cute chuff roar as it brushes up against his legs like a house cat. Trent look down at the little tiger before climbing into bed.

But before any of them could go back to sleep, the Other Mothers Took out a jar filled with mud and gently sooth it on Trent's, Gwen's, Duncan's and Courtney's rash hands and tuck them into bed. As their eyes closed and their minds went black the only last thing they hear from the Other Mothers and Fathers voices were,

"See you Soon."

Before falling in a blissful sleep.

Sorry for swapping between the four, it's was kind of hard to describe the story the best way I can think of. And if it looks like I was putting a AN message in the middle of the story, I wasn't. There are a few joke references in here one of them was from family guy. Well see you guys later then.
