A Fox Stitch ( A Coraline Fanfic )

Chapter 7

The kids come out the front door. No one seemed to notice that Merita's shadow had fox ears and a tail on it.

Coraline: ( to the Other Wybie: ) You're awful cheerful, considering you can't say anything.

Other Wybie nods his head in agreement, then Merita came out of nowhere, and play tackled him to the ground with a crazed smile.

Merita: But, like the actual Wybie, he's terrible at dodging my play tackles. ( Laughs before getting off of Other Wybie, who playfully shoves her ) Hey! Haha

Coraline: I've been meaning to ask you, Mery. How come you are here and not with your parents? Both real or other.

Other Wybie scratched the back of his head, as he knew about Merita's cover story, and that Merita has a hard time talking about anything of her past because of her having very little memory of it.

Merita: Well, uh. That's a touchy subject, but... ( Lies smoothly: ) My real parents are dead, and sense their dead, my other parents are also...

Coraline: Oh. I am so sorry, Mery. I didn't mean-

Merita: It's alright, Coraline. ( Continues the lie: ) Anyway, after my parents passed away, your Other parents took me in and I've been living here and going in and out of this world and the real world. I prefer to be here though, I can be my crazy self without judgement here.

Coraline: Crazy? I thought you were just extremely weird, in a good way.

Merita: Nope. ( Knocks on her head ) I'm not fully there in the head. But, everyone here doesn't seem to mind, and it seems like you don't mind my craziness either. Speaking of good craziness, to the jumping mice!

The trio then started going up the stairs to Bobinsky's, Merita was doing cartwheels while going up the stairs.

Coraline: ( to the other Wybie: ) Uh. . . It didn't hurt, did it, when she-

Merita: Up above!

The Other Wybie then points past Coraline, a small blimp is flying towards Bobinsky's door. The trio ran up the stairs and watched the blimp slip through an opening above his door. Coraline knocks and the door suddenly spins, throwing them inside. Merita was the first to be thrown inside, and Coraline and Other Wybie landed on her.

Merita: Off the ginger, she's in pain! And not mentally.

Coraline: Sorry, Mery.

Coraline and Other Wybie quickly got off of Merita, and helped her up. They then saw that down two rows of small cannons that face each other, an amazing miniature cirus has been set up, with a ferris wheel popcorn machine beside it.

Coraline: Whoa...cool!

As Coraline went to the popcorn machine, Other Wybie stepped on a firing button for one of the small cannons, he caught a cotton candy cone, Merita then had a mischievous idea, and Other Wybie saw this and shook his head " no " to her as he knew what she was thinking, she just nods her head " yes " in response.

A few seconds later, Coraline turned around when she heard the sound of multiple cannons going off, to find that Other Wybie and Merita were now covered in cotton candy.
