Coraline just ran away from Beldam's place, after that, she searched the house for finding her parents. However, nobody was in the house.
Ding dong! Coraline's face filled with happiness, she quickly ran to her front door with excitements. But it was Wybie instead of her parents….
"Don't believe me? You can ask the cat!" Coraline Jones was shouting to Wybourne Lovat in her room. "The…Cat? I'll just tell grandma… that you lost the doll…" when Wybie finished his line, he received Coraline's left shoe. "You're not listening to me!" Coraline shouted.
"That's…. because…. You're….. CRAZY!" the right shoe threw to him after that, but this time he successfully hid from her. Wybie ran to outside, and Coraline chased him. "You Jerkwad!" Coraline jumped on Wybie's back when he was trying to start his motorbike's engine, and they both fell on the mud field.
The rain was falling heavily, the dirt already become mud when it's raining. If Coraline's mother saw them, she would probably faint.
"No!" Wybie found his body full of muds. "Are you really crazy at all? What's on your mind now! I planned not taking any shower today!" Wybie pushed Coraline that was lying on his back. When Wybie stood from the field, Coraline was holding his hand.
"Please Wybie! You must believe my words! The other mother just tried to sew buttons in my eyes!" Coraline pushed Wybie down to the mud field again. When Wybie groaned and trying to push her again, he saw a teardrop fall from her eyes. "Y… you must help me! Now my parents are missing, and I'm worried about them! What if they… they…."
Coraline stopped speaking and cried silently. Wybie looked at her, and he felt very sorry for her. "Oh…. J….Jonesy….. Don't be sad! I can help you! Really! I promise!" Wybie found he was hugging her without asking himself.
"Jonesy! No crying! Santa Claus won't give you present if you cry!" he tried his best to calm down Coraline. But she started to whine. "Jonesy... Let's go into your house okay? I don't want you to be sick... Okay? Please! I don't want you to cough!"
Wybie tried to lift her, but her hands blocked him. Wybie perplexed about what to do, but he pulled Coraline's face in front of her. "Coraline! I'll help you! I'll help you to find your parents and I'll believe what you said! I want you to tell me what exactly happened! Please don't cry okay?" Coraline surprised. She looked Wybie for a moment.
"Thank….Thank... Y…You..." she snuffled. Wybie giggled and wiped out her tears.
"But what if your grandma call you? Don't you need to go home?" Coraline sniffed.
Wybie swallowed and hesitated for a moment, seems he did something bad. "You know, I really thought you're crazy, so I lied to you that my grandma is calling me. I got plenty of time today." He smiled nervously. "I knew it!" she giggled and punched his arm. The rain started to fall lightly. She looked at Wybie's eyes, and she found her mother's car.
"Wait! Mom and dad are there!" she and Wybie quickly ran to the car. But nothing inside but Mrs. Jones's phone. She used her phone to call Mr. Jones, but nobody answered.
"Where have you gone?" she felt disappointed, and Wybie looked at her. He thought he should do something now. "W…Well Jonesy? I think they just went to do something else. Why don't you go inside the house to wait for them?" He asked. "Wybie… can you stay with me? I don't want to stay in the house alone." Coraline grabbed his arm, her eyes filled with nervousness, her shivering eyes and shrinking body made Wybie "wants" to protect her. He also felt Coraline is "different" than normal. She was a tough, boyish girl who is different from other girls. But she acted like a sweet girl, who has an ability that can let Wybie do anything for her… Wybie found his face started to blush. "O…Okay… I can do that." Wybie smiled at Coraline. "Thank you so…so much!" Coraline smiled at him too.
They at first went to Mr. B's house to ask if he saw Coraline's parent, but Mr. B didn't know. Soon they arrived at Ms. Spink and Ms. Forcible's home.
Ms. Spink was sewing Angus's wing. "Hi, Caroline! And he must be your….Boyfriend?" Ms. Spink winked at Coraline. "It's Coraline, and Wybie is not my boyfriend!" Coraline's face flushed, Wybie didn't say anything but flushed too. "Oh, you couple is so cute!" Ms. Spink smirked. "No! Anyway, I just wonder if you and Ms. Forcible saw my parents, they're missing now." Coraline asked her. "What? Missing? Come here you both, let us help you, Caroline." Ms. Spink kept sewing the wings after letting Wybie and Coraline sit in front of the table.
"This is the first time that I visit here, I never thought past famous actors were living here!" Wybie said quietly. "Uh… Don't you only make wings for the…? Dead ones?" Coraline asked nervously. "Oh just look ahead dear, Angus hasn't been feeling well of late." Ms. Spink signed. "APRIL? Aren't you getting ready?" Ms. Forcible called her. "We've lost our ride, Miriam!" Ms. Spink shouted.
"Caroline's parent has vanished quite completely!" she shouted again. "What? We've waited a month for those tickets!" Ms. Forcible shouted too. "I suppose we couldn't walk…" Ms. Spink signed. "It's nearly 2 miles to the theater!" Ms. Forcible grumbled.
"Ahem!" Coraline heard Wybie's sound. Also Ms. Spink and Ms. Forcible. What Ms. Spink and Ms. Forcible did was giving a weird hard green triangle candy to Coraline, and started to argue the candy is for bad things or lost things. Coraline and Wybie left the house. They went to Coraline's house.
The house without the parents was so quiet. Since there was no typing sounds around the house anymore. Coraline and Wybie walked into the house, Coraline let Wybie take shower first, and she did next. Wybie cooked dinner for her since she didn't know how to cook, and Coraline told Wybie about her full story.
"So Beldam is the bad one… she took the spy doll to spy on you, and she wanted to eat your life… right?" Wybie asked nervously. "Yeah, exactly! She's very dangerous! I will never get into that door again!" she promised. After that, they talked a lot. They understood each other, their life, their hobbies…. Coraline found she started to leaning on Wybie since he's the only person she trusts now. Wybie, however, started to feel she's charming. For the first time when they meet together, Coraline was mean to him. But now, she is a sweet, cute girl. Wybie flushed again.
"Jonesy… It's been a long time for waiting for them…. Where are they?" Wybie looked at the clock on the wall, it was 11 PM. They were waiting for them for 6 hours. "I… it's not possible Jonesy! They even left the phone and the car!" Wybie wondered. "Jonesy, my grandma might be worried about me. I have to go to tell her that I need to stay with you. I won't be long okay?" Wybie wore his clothes. "Don't belong." Coraline looked at Wybie. Wybie opened the front door, and the cat jumped on his cloth. "Whoa! Can you stay with Coraline till I back?" the cat nodded his head to Wybie, Wybie smiled at him and started the motorbike's engine.
The cat walked to the front of Coraline. "Hello, are you hungry?" Coraline said kindly. The cat stirred his ear for a moment but shook his head. "Then… Do you know where mom and dad are?" asked Coraline. The cat nodded his head. And he went to the downstairs. Coraline followed the cat. The cat was sitting in front of the large mirror. And Coraline found her parent were freezing in the mirror, covered with snow. "Mom…..Dad!" she surprised. Soon Mrs. Jones and Mr. Jones disappeared when Mrs. Jones wrote: "Help Us." Coraline hit the mirror 3 times, and the mirror broke up. After the noise, she heard a large sound of knocking at the front door. It was Wybie who heard the noise of broken glass. "Jonesy! Are you okay? Wybie rushed in front of Coraline and checked if Coraline got hurt from a broken mirror. "W…What exactly happened now?" he raised Coraline up. "Why this happens?" said Coraline. The cat called both of them to parent's room, and they saw the doll that was half Mrs. Jones and Mr. Jones's body. "She took them!" Coraline gasped. Soon Coraline burnt the doll in the living room.
"I can't believe your story is real!" Wybie surprised. "What should we do? To save your parents?" He asked Coraline.
"We have only one way to save them…. Get into the tiny door, and find them." Said, Coraline. "You can go back now since this is dangerous…" said Coraline.
"Coraline… throughout the conversations that we've talked about today… you're different from other people. You were the only one that didn't be scared of me. You are the friendliest friend that I've ever seen." Wybie smiled at her and held her hands.
"I'm going to stay with you until you found your family." Wybie looked at her eyes.
"Thank you Wybie… Thank you so much…." Coraline seems to be moved.
"Well, that's what friends are for!" Wybie giggled.
The cat purred beside them.
At the same time, Coraline found her heart started to pump faster than usual. Something weird happening in her mind. Something that never happened before… kind of emotion? Maybe? How can a friend, who just known for a few days before, trying to help her even though it is dangerous? If Coraline's "Best trolls" are besides, they might just turn around and leave.
Coraline and Wybie started to pack up the pieces of stuff for fighting. Coraline picked up her scissors, a hat, and the triangle candy, a candle and a lighter, and her warm vest. Wybie took his skull mask with binoculars, a slingshot with 5 beads, and a tiny horn.
"Are you ready?" Coraline asked Wybie. "Of course." Wybie seems prepared and brave. "Will you follow us?" Wybie asked the cat. The cat nodded his head.
"Good. Be careful." Coraline opened the door.
