Paraline

Chapter 1: Coraline, Meet Norman

The sun was shining through the clouds that covered Blithe Hollow, and a car was driving slowly in the neighborhood; that car would be the one that had the Jones family inside: Mel, Charlie, and their daughter, and only child, Coraline Jones. They've just moved out of the Pink Palace, and Coraline didn't like moving away again, especially away from Wybie, who turned out to be her one and only newly found friend there. Mel looks through her catalog that was in her binder, checking to make sure everything was- in her intress and point of view- "perfect" and "Acceptable" to turn in to her and Charlie's new boss. Charlie focuses on the road, also getting a quick peek at the old town; everything seemed to be very beautiful here- well...Coraline didn't really care that much...she just wanted to stop moving away from other cities, town, states, whatever, and just stay there! The blue-haired girl just sighs with a mixture of boredom, sadness, and a feeling that couldn't be notified; Mel however, could tell what that emotion was from her daughter, "Oh, cheer up, Coraline! I swear, things will get better," Coraline glares a little, "How's moving everywhere in every one year gonna get better? I literally have friends in almost 12 states, Mom, 12! And rarely do I ever receive calls, letters, or texts from them. Let's not forget about e-mails either, Mom." Mel sighs a little, "Had to at least give it a try." She says quietly to herself.

As they continue to drive towards their new home, Coraline starts to become bord out of her mind! So bord, that she's started to sing some random Russian songs that Mister B, from her last home, had tought her. This starts to drive her father crazy, but Mel seemed to be a little both impressed, and shocked to hear their daughter singing in Russian, "Coraline, PLEASE-!" Charlie says, but gets interrupted by his wife, "CHARLIE, LOOK OUT!" Mel comands. A young boy, about Coraline's same hieght and age, almost got hit by the villicel, but Charlie quickly slams onto the breaks. The family groans in shock and all hit their heads on the head rest on their car seats; Coraline, how ever, looks out the window to catch a glimpse of the boy: Spiky brown hair, blue eyes, about her same age and hight, wore a red jacket and blue jeans with black shoes. The boy looked scared for his life, but then quickly, even though it looked slowly because of his almost near-death-experience, he steps off of the road. Charlie was able to start the car again, and drives off.

"Charlie! You almost hit that child; watch where you're going!" Mel snaps, which makes Charlie roll his eyes, which made Mel slap his head with her binder. Coraline laughed quietly to herself at the sigh of her parents: Some times...her parent's anger makes her so happy. But the one thing that was on her mind right now, after the hilarious scene that her mother delivered towards her father, was that boy...she couldn't help but to feel sorry for him for her father's- what Mel claims to be- his "Drunkin' Driving", even though Charlie doesn't drink, he can be a bit of a lousy driver some times- which is why his licences got removed...three times apparently!

Once the Jones Family had finally reached their new home, they all got out of the car, and start to wait for their moving van to park right up at their drive-way; but while they were waiting, they gotten the stuff that was in the car with them, inside of the house. Coraline starts to carry a box that belongs to her, and takes it up into her new room, where her bed and dressers were waiting for her, thanks to her father for getting the moving guys to bring all the heavy furniture to the house first. She sets her box on the floor, in her newly painted blue room, which was the same blue tint as her hair; everything was just "perfect" to Coraline: Moving away from another area, again! Having to make new friends and leave them, again! And having to explore and get use to her new enviroment...AGAIN!

The blue-haired girl sighs as she takes some stuffed animals and some books out of her box, placing them onto her dresser and chest, for her toys. And the books on her book shelf, which was right nest to her bed by the window. Coraline grabs her satchel that was in her box as well, and starts heading downstairs, to explore her new neighborhood. Mel and Charlie pays the moving guys and everything, and Coraline starts leaving the yard, until her mother had called her, "Coraline...where are you going now?" At first, she didn't know if it was a good idea to answer her, but sighs and turns around to face her, "I'm going to explore our new town, Mom. Is that okay with you right now?" Mel sighs and shakes her head with a tiny smile on her lips, "You and exploring...alright, Coraline, you can explore. Just be sure you have your new cell phone with you, just in case, okay?" Coraline nods, then she starts off.

But while she was exiting her house, the house next to hers opens the door, reviling a tall teen girl, about 16 or 17 years old. She wore all pink, had blond hair in a pony tail, and was chewing on some pink bubble gum; and once she saw the Jones Family, and Coraline walking past their house, she turns around and screams inside, saying, "Mom, Dad, Norman! The new neighbors are here!"

Norman walks out of the house ans stands next to her sister, who was the same kid who almost got hit by the Jones's car. He looks at the new neighbors, and almost shutters; and then he looks and sees Coraline, walking down the street. Norman looks up at his sister, pointing at Coraline while doing so, "Courtney...is that...-" She nods, texting one of her friends while doing so, "Yep! That's their daughter," Norman grins and starts to walk out of the yard, wanting to catch-up with the girl.

But while he was attempting to do so, his friend, Neil, shows up, giving him the same "hello", "Hi there, Norman! What's happening?" Norman quickly tells the chubby boy to "SHHHH!", then pulls him behind a fence, where they continue to watch the blue-haired girl to head into town.

Neil looks confused for a moment, "What is it, Norman?" The spiky brown-haired boy looks at his friend, "You see her," He asked, pointing towards Coraline. Neil looks towards the same direction where Norman was pointing; he then looks back at Norman, but doesn't say a word, as he sees a look on his face...love? Neil grins at Norman and pats his shoulder, "Well, well...look who's in love,"

"What? Me? NO! OF COURSE NOT!" Norman protessess, as he shrugs Neil's hand off of his shoulder.

But the truth was...he did have feelings for this blue-haired girl. She just looked so...amazing, smart, kind, and...pretty, beautiful, and- "URG!" Norman thinks to himself as he quickly shakes hs head out of those thoughts.

This makes Neil smile and laugh to himself a little, "So...why are you looking at her, Norman?" Norman looks at him, then back at the girl, who disappears into town, "We...are going to introduce ourselves," The spiked-haired boy claims, then starts taking off towards town, with Neil following from behind him.

After the moving guys had left the Jones Family's new home, Mel gets her laptop hooked-up in the living room for it to charge, while she makes some hot chocolate. Her husband, Charlie, comes into the room, right out from his study, and grabs a mug to make himself some. Mel looks over at him with just her eyes, "You know...if we ever see that boy again, you're gonna have to apologize to him."

Charlie looks at his wife with an annoyed look, "Hey, It's not my fault! Coraline's singing drove me crazy, and-"

"Oh no, you're not going to blam Coraline on this! I thought her Russian singing was absolutely beautiful, Charlie, beautiful!" Right when he was going to say something back, their door-bell rang.

Charlie goes over towards the door, and opens it, reviling the Babcock's, minus Norman. Norman's mother, Sandra, smiles lovely at Charlie, holding up two fresh pizzas, "Helllllo!" She says in a cherry voice, "And welcome to our neighbor hood! This is my husband, Perry," Perry holds out his hand, and Charlie shakes it, "Out oldest, Courtney," Charlie shakes the teen's hand, "Our youngest, Norman, has gone off to meet your daughter or something. My name is Sandra Babcock; we're the Babcock Family."

Mel walks over towards the door, seeing the family at the door, "Charlie...who are these people?" Courtney beats her mother to it, "We live right next door to you people. You're our new neighbors, duh," She claims, opening her cell to text again.

Both Mel and Charlie looks at each other, then back at the neighbors, "Um...would you like to...come in?" Mel asked, opening the door wider for them, which they gladly entered, well, Sandra took the offer gladly, but Courtney didn't look impressed while texting, and Perry looked like he wished he was in bed.

Sandra places the pizzas onto the table in the dining room, while Mel gets some plates and places them onto the table as well. They all soon started eating the pizza, and the adults were taking some time into getting to know one another a little, "So," Mel begins while getting three slices of pizza on three plates, handing them to the Babcock's, "How long have you two been living here?" Perry looks up from his plate of pizza, "Ever since I've met this woman." He points at his wife, before starting to eat his slice of pizza. Sandra rolls her eyes; Mel soon sits down right next to Charlie, "Also...you say you have a son too?" Sandra nods at her, "My little, brave, baby boy." She says in a lovely voice.

"So...he's out with our daughter or something?" She shrugs with a nod, "Yep! I got a picture of him, wanna see it?" Mel nods and Sandra starts going through her purse, pulls out her wallet, then a picture of the spiky-haired child.

"Here he is! Isn't he just cute," Mel takes the picture and looks at it for a while, then gasps and turns to her husband, "Charlie! This is the boy from earlier! You almost ran over their son!" The Babcocks almost choke on their pizza, "WHAT? OH, MY BABY!" Sandra panics, but Perry calms her down.

"B-But don't worry, my husband here was able to stop the car just in time!" Mel protests. Charlie looks at Sandra and Perry nervously; Mel however, tells them what he didn't want to hear from his wife, "He also gotten his license removed...three times."

This makes Norman's parents look at him in amazement, but Courtney, "Wow...you really need Driver's ED, dude..." She goes back into text, blowing and popping her bubble gum.

Coraline goes by the town's park, and sighs as she places her bag onto the ground, and pulls out a sketch pad and pencil, "Well...since there's really nothing to explore here, might as well try to draw some of the animals that are around here," She sits down, back against a large tree, and starts to draw.

Norman and Neil make it into the park, seeing Coraline; they hide behind some pushes, peeking over them. Neil grins at Norman, seeing the love in his eyes, "You like her, I can see it." Norman punches his arm, then looks back at her. Just then, a ghost comes out of the ground, it was Aggie. Norman looks up and sees Agatha, "Hi, Aggie, how are you?" She smiles and giggles softly, "I'm doing just fine. I thought I would come down towards here," She turns and sees Coraline, then looks down at Norman, "Who's she? New in town?"

"Norman...who are you talking too?" Neil asked, "Oh, I'm talking to Agatha. The ghost from last year, remember?" Neil nods and looks up at the ghost that he could not even see,"What's she saying?"

"She wants to know who that girl is," Neil grins with a smirk and looks back up at the invisible object, "Oh, that's Norman's crush." Norman punches his arm again, and Agatha giggles. Norman looks up at the ghost girl, "She's not my crush, I swear! She's just so...so..."

"Beautiful," Agatha says.

"Beautiful- wait! URG!" Norman screams into his jacket sleeve, and Neil and Agatha laughs some more. Norman glares at them, "IT'S NOT FUNNY! I MEAN IT!"

Coraline was able to hear that, and gets up, slowly making her way towards where the sound came from. She finally makes it to some bushes, peering over them, and sees Norman and Neil. Norman looks up at the ghost girl again, "I don't like her, okay! Not like that!" But in his thoughts, he does.

This makes Coraline look so confused by this, "Um...excuse me: Who are you talking too?" Norman and Neil looks up at Coraline. Norman just squeaks surprised to himself, before slowly looking up at the blue-haired girl, "Oh! Um...uh..." Neil snickers, and Agatha disapers to leave; but before she did, she whispers into his ear, saying "See you lather, Norman!"

Coraline just stands there, looking down at the boy with spiky-brown hair. Norman was just lost for words, he secretly liked this girl, and didn't want to screw things up with her, so just stayed silent; this was all just so awkward to Neil, that he left, leaving- what he claims to be- "lovebirds" together. Finally, after a long period of silence, Coraline breaks it, "Um...h-hello..." Norman smiles nervously at the girl, "H-Hi...um, "He gets up, extending his hand over towards her, "I-I'm Norman." Coraline smiles nervously as well, extending her hand, connecting it with his, "Hi there, Norman, I'm Coraline!" She says happily.

Norman gives her a confused look, "Um...don't you mean...'Caraline'?" Coraline's smile fades away, looking rather annoyed,"No! Why does everybody ask that the first time I meet someone new?" She asked angrily, kicking a rock over towards one of the many trees that were in the park. Norman walks over towards her and places a hand on her shoulder, "I'm sorry, Coraline...I didn't know that up-sets you." She smiles at him again, she thought he was just so cute, that she couldn't even stay mad at him, "It's fine, Norman. Say...why were you talking to the air anyway? You still have an imaginary friend...or...what?" He sighs sadly, sitting down, knees against his chest as he wraps his arms around them. This time, it was Coraline who felt sorry, and sits down next to him.

"I'm so sorry Norman...did I make you up-set?" He looks at her, then sighs, "No...it's just that I- urg," He says in anger, then looks away. He could feel Coraline patting his shoulder, so turns around, seeing her sorry look in her eyes. Norman gulps and stares at her, "Listen, um...Coraline, I...um...can I tell you something?" She looks a little curious at him, "Oh..alright, Norman, go on ahead," He smiles very nervously.

"Well...you see Coraline...I can...um..." She starts to get very more interested, "You can what?" She says excitedly. Norman sighs sadly, "I can see...the dead..." He looks away, felt like he was about to cry a little, until Coraline gives him a hug, "Hey now, don't cry, Norman...I think that's an amazing thing to do." He opens his eyes widly, then looks back at her, "What? You don't think that it's...strange?" She shrugs a bit, "Sure...it can be a little wierd, but to me, wierd's cool! I enjoy hanging around with 'odd-balls'." His smile grows even more, "Gee, thanks a lot, Coraline!" He hugs her, and she hugs him back.

After their hug, they blush as they look at each other. Coraline soon gets up, reaching her hand over towards his, "So, Norman...want to show me around town; maybe introduce me to some ghost?" He gets up with a smile and takes her hand, which makes them blush even more, "I would love to show you around town, Coraline," They start walking away from the park, no longer holding hands, but laughing while they were making each other laugh a little, "So..." Norman begins, "Where should we start...?"

My 1st ever cross-over! YAY! XD
