(A/N): I have decided to carry on the grand tradition set by the book and the movie.

They used the exact same line in the book and the movie, so why not for this?

And don't forget that they slowly shortened the one line in this scene, too... They slowly shortened the name. So I've taken it out. Period. FOR TRADITION!

Read on!

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: GAME

"An exploring game... a finding-things game."

Coraline said the words with the most confidence she had ever had.

She had found the Other Mother in the kitchen (Coraline realized she was usually in the kitchen, which was quite convenient if she wanted to find her). She had seemed all too pleased with the proposal.

"And what is it you'll be finding?"

"My sister," Coraline said. She then remembered the promise she had made to the ghost children. "And the souls of the dead children."

"Something is telling me you've just read this somewhere. So, I've prepared something for you."

The Other Mother handed Coraline a square piece of paper, which she unfolded and read the neat cursive on the sheet:

The first letter is Y.

Now Y _ _ _ _ _.

Coraline looked up to ask something along the lines of 'What's that supposed to mean?' when she saw that the Other Mother was not there.

Leaving the kitchen, she walked off in the direction of the library.

Because she had an idea what she was looking for.

(A/N): Oh, yes. For those of you who are wondering, she's going to - well, that's a spoiler.

So are a few other questions you might not think of. *coughdoesitcoughrhymecough*

Just a few more chapters, people! Then I'm done with this half! And then I write the second half!

Which I already have a lot of it done!

Anyway, carry on with your poor, sad lives that are nothing without THIS! HA HA HA!
