Coraline struggled as a figured pulled her out of the mirror. Her mind was so focused on escaping the grasp of the hidden pursuer.

Scooby and Courage both whimpered and gasped in fear.

Coraline was easily able to overpower the figure. She pulled off the 'mask' which was really just the Other Mother's kitchen glove shaped like a chicken revealing Other Wybie.

"Wybie?!" Coraline gasped.

Scooby and Courage both just stared in shock with his mouth agape as their eyes met those of the black buttons of Other Wybie.

Scooby shook his out his shock, knowing there are impressing matters to attend to, "Raggy's still in there!"

The Other Wybie went in and picked up Shaggy gently.

"Shaggy wake up, please," Courage pleaded, shaking him gently but had no response.

"Rhat's-oh!" the other Wybie handed Scooby a bottle, pointing to Shaggy.

The Other Wybie's mouth had two strings sewn through the corners of his mouth, freezing him in a forced smile.

"Did she do this to you?" Coraline with concern in her voice.

Other Wybie just stared back, still unable to say anything of course. Courage and Coraline then untied the strings in his mouth, allowing his lips to fall into his true expression, a frown. He rubbed his cheeks a little, feeling a lot better.

Scooby gave a sympathetic smile.

"I hope that feels better," Coraline said, but Other Wybie just shushed her, and he led Coraline and the puppies over to the door, while Scooby carried Shaggy on his back, deciding that they'll give him the potion in the real world.

Courage felt himself smiling, a new hope blooming inside of him. They're going home.

They knew they had to be quiet and quick as possible, the Other Wybie guided them to the living room.

Together, they pushed down the dresser blocking the little door.

"Coraline? Boys? Is that you?" the Other Mother called.

The Other Mother's call made Courage jumped in terror, he gulped, "Let's go!"

Scooby swallowed down the bile that told him to step aside to throw up. He didn't have time to be sick to his stomach from the done deeds of the Other Mother they needed to get home.

They opened the door, and were both terrified and disgusted at the sight. What was once a tunnel full of blues and pinks and purples all shiny was now filled with dirt, cobwebs and whatever else.

"Coraline! Boys!" the Other Mother called, as the tunnel began to shake.

Scooby and Courage were both glad this would hopefully be the last they had to cross this tunnel (not just because of the appearance of it). The three looked at Other Wybie. They cared about him. He was different than the others. They couldn't just leave him.

"Rome on, she'll hurt you again," Scooby said with concern.

Other Wybie shook his head, and he removed his glove. Blowing at it made it turn to sawdust. Scooby and Courage were sad at this, but they understood. He wasn't real, just like everything in this world. He wasn't worth it since he'd just fade into sawdust anyway.

"Kids! How dare you disobey your mother!" the Other Mother scolded as she got closer.

Other Wybie pushed the kids and puppies in, and he closed the door, realizing there was no saving him.

"CORALINE! SCOOBY! COURAGE!"

That voice quickly got them running for the door. Finally bursting through the door, covered in cobwebs and dust, Coraline slammed the door, and she locked it.

Scooby put Shaggy on the floor and lay him down, Courage handed the bottle to Scooby, "Rease work," he then poured the bottle in Shaggy's mouth.

Letting out a weak groan, Shaggy opened his eyes only to find blurriness. His vision seemed to vibrate with the thumping of his heart and no matter how many times he blinked, he could not clear it up.

"Wha-What happened?" Shaggy whispered to himself. His voice cracked with every word he spoke.

"Raggy!" Scooby cried wrapped his arms around his owner with relief, "Rour okay!"

It took Shaggy a moment to remember what had happened, he passed out from the Other Mother's tea. He glanced around quickly before asking, "Like, what happened?! Where am I?! Where's the Other Mother?!"

"Shaggy," Courage said, comforting him, "You're alright now. We're back in the real world."

Shaggy blinked and relax, realizing they're back in the real world and not in the Other world and he relax.

"We're hoommme!" Coraline yelled.

Coraline soon asked while she and the cowardly trio wiped the webs off them.

"Anybody here?" Coraline called upstairs, "Hello? Hello, hello!"

They went to Charlie's study, and asked,

"Real Dad?" Coraline asked.

They looked at the study and it was deserted.

"Real Mom?" Coraline asked again.

They went into the kitchen and Shaggy noticed the bag in the kitchen.

"Like oh yeah, Mel's groceries," Shaggy said excitedly.

However, when Shaggy tip bag tipped, some spoiled food came out and flies buzzed around it.

"Yuck!" Courage cringed.

"That's disgusting," Coraline said.

The the kids and puppies soon heard a doorbell, this caused Coraline to smile, and walked toward it.

"I missed you guys so much, you'll never…" Coraline paused as she was disappointed to see Wybie, "Oh, the Wybie that talks."

"Re doesn't know about that," Scooby uttered.

"Huh?" Whybie laughed nervously, "So, you know that old doll I gave you? My grandma's real mad. Says it was her...sister's."

"You stole that doll, didn't you?!" Coraline scolded.

"Well, it looked just like you. I mean-"

"It used to look like this pioneer girl," Coraline interrupted.

"What?" Shaggy asked with confusion.

"And then Huck Finn Junior," Courage added.

"Rhen this little rascals chick with all these ribbons and braids," Scooby said, and then Coraline came to a realization, "Grandma's missing sister! I think we just met her."

She pulled Wybie in, and the cowardly trio followed them to the room with the door.

"She's in there," Coraline uttered.

"Can you unlock it?" Wybie asked nervously. He was about to reach for the key, when the cowardly trio scream.

"NO!/RO!" Shaggy, Scooby and Courage yelled together in response.

Coraline grabbed his hand, and replied, "Not in a million years. But it wouldn't matter. She can't escape without her eyes," she paused, "None of the ghosts can."

"Ghosts? Eyes?" Shaggy asked, "Like, what is going on?"

"Well explain later Shaggy," Courage promised.

"Right, so I really need to get that doll back," Wybie said, a little weirded out.

"Great, I'd love to get rid of it," Coraline answered, and she looked for the doll.

The kids and puppies soon went into Coraline's room, but noticed the Coraline doll was gone.

"Where are you hiding, you little monster?" Coraline asked.

"You and Grandma been talking?" Wybie asked.

"The doll's her spy," Courage replied, "It's how she watches you, finds out what's wrong with your life."

"The doll is my grandma's spy?" Wybie asked.

"Ro. Rhe Other Mother," Scooby responded.

"Like, she's got this world where everything's better. The food, the garden, the neighbors," Shaggy added in.

"But it's all a trap," Coraline finished.

Wybie gulped, and said, "Yeah, I think I heard someone calling me, guys."

"Ron't believe us? Rou can ask your cat," Scooby insisted.

"The cat?" Wybie asked, he just soon left the room, and said, "I'll just tell Grandma that you couldn't find the doll." The cowardly trio see Coraline took a shoe, and threw it at Wybie, and he said, "Ow!"

"You're not listening to me!" Coraline shouted.

"That's. Cuz. You're. Crazy!" Wybie said backing away and barely missing the other boot.

Coraline chased him in anger, and the three best friends followed, not really wanting to be alone after all this.

"You creep!" Coraline screamed.

"Crazy!" Wybie retaliated.

"Crazy?!" Coraline roared, "You're the jerkwad that gave me the doll!"

Wybie was far out of sight by then though.

Scooby then noticed the parents' car.

"Ruh, Roraline, isn't that your parents' car?" Scooby asked calmly.

"Mom! Dad!" Coraline cried out, and they ran to the car.

The kids and puppies saw the car was deserted, but saw Mel's phone, Coraline called Charlie, and begged, "Pick it up, Dad. Pick it up."

"Hi!" Charlie answered.

Coraline said, "Dad! Where..."

However, she stopped when she found out it was a recorded message, as it continued, "I'm digging in my garden right now, but leave a message and I'll get right back to you."

"Where could they have gone, guys? I mean they aren't home," Coraline sighed.

"I'm not sure," Courage replied in defeat, "But we can't give up looking. Maybe Spink and Forcible can help. At the very least, they know we're looking for them, so they can let them know."

Coraline nodded, and the kids and puppies headed downstairs. However, they all had bad feelings about the disappearance of Coraline's parents.


Well that's all for now. This is vakarns signing off.
